In which Baekhyun wakes up to a stranger in his bed
One morning, Baekhyun wakes up only to find an unfamiliar boy in his bed. That, and a naked Chanyeol.
“Oh… for the love of… Chanyeol! I told you how many times not to crawl into my bed?!” Baekhyun shrieks, momentarily forgetting about the other unknown boy in his bed.
Chanyeol yawns, rubbing his eyes before pouting. “But I just thought that since you were being nice for once and letting other people share your body warmth with you, so since I’m your friend I thought if you let a stranger into your bed, you’d let me in too.”
Baekhyun wants to say that Chanyeol wasn’t his friend, but someone who Baekhyun had the misfortune of meeting and had stuck to him like the plague and then somehow arranged to be his roommate as well, but then Chanyeol points behind him and smiles. “Oh, look. The stranger dude is awake.”
Baekhyun turns and nearly screams at the bleary face in his. He backpedals, pointing a shaking finger. “Okay, and who the shit are you?”
The stranger blinks, obviously not fully awake yet. “Uh… I’m Jongin. Uhmm… I’m sorry, I think I lost control of my powers in the middle of the night…? I’m a shadow walker…”
“Ooo… so is that like sleep walking?” Chanyeol asks happily, and for once Baekhyun actually has the same question in mindd. He weeps silently in his head for needing to ask the same sort of questions as someone who is obviously insane and stuck in the mentality of a two year old.
“Huh…?” The boy named Jongin blinks, rubbing his eyes. “Oh… no… I teleport using shadows… But I’m not very good at it yet. Especially when I sleep. I keep turning up at odd places when I wake up.”
Well, that explained it. Baekhyun was about ask Jongin to go back to him room when Chanyeol suddenly grabs Jongin’s hands, his eyes sparkling with what could only be trouble. “That. Is so cool. So you can go to all the forbidden places. Right? Like the girl’s changing room, the armoury, the room behind the mysterious door in the principal’s office?”
“Uh… Well, I can.” Chanyeol perks up dangerously, but Baekhyun thanks the gods for what Jongin says when he continues. “But I’d probably get caught and punished. There are safeguards that would protect rooms like that from any shadow walker walking in. And I’m not skilled enough to get past them.”
“Oh. Well, maybe next time then.” Chanyeol doesn’t seem much disappointed. “What about into Baekhyun’s underwear drawer? He’s locked that up and he’s made it hard for me to get to his boxers. I want to wear and sniff at them.”
“If it’s just a normal lock I can get to them easy.” Jongin replies without much thought, then he pauses, as if just realizing how strange the situation he is in. “Wait. What?”
“Awesome.” Chanyeol grins, grabbing Jongin’s hand and pumping it enthusiastically. “I’m Chanyeol. And the guy’s bed you popped up in is called Baekhyun. And from now on, you shall be named Kai.”
It’s five seconds of awed silence as Baekhyun tries to comprehend how Chanyeol had given a nickname to someone he’d just met, and that nickname doesn’t seem to have a head or tail as to what had inspired it at all.
“Tomorrow you shall teach me how to steal Baekhyun’s underwear. I really want to get to his lucky pink ones that he pretends he doesn’t have. They look really nice.”
Jongin blinks and narrows his eyes at Chanyeol, shifting back a bit warily. It seems that he had woken up properly now.
“Wait. Why am I called Kai? Why do you want to steal this Baekhyun’s underwear? Are you naked and… is he glowing?”
Chanyeol smiles happily, conveniently ignoring the rest of the questions. “Yes. He is, and it’s very pretty, don’t you think? He always does it when he’s embarrassed.”
Jongin, or Kai as he has been dubbed raises a slightly amused eyebrow.
Baekhyun just hates his life.
