#20 - Naughty or Nice

“This way boys.”

Their tutor opens a psigate for them and Jonghyun is the first to cross, not minding Jinki’s look of insecurity. Kibum snorts and goes, looking them down his shoulder. With a last smile, Jinki goes through and Taemin can’t make himself look up to Minho because… just because. He gets in fourth, not looking back.

Is the first time he uses a psigate to go from one place to another and the sensation is weirder than anything else. Changing surroundings in less than a second and discovering a new environment (in which even the air feels different) makes him dizzy. He is not the only one because Jinki is on the floor and even Kibum looks paler than before. Jonghyun is fine, staring intently at the empty white room they appear in.

Taemin doesn’t move enough from the exit and when Minho enters he crashes into him. He sees himself hitting the ground, as if it’s inevitable, but strong arms hold him still. Minho’s skin feels hot, something he expects form a pyrokinetic, of course. What is less normal is how the warmth makes him feel.

“You’ll get used to psitravelling soon, don’t worry” says their executive coming in after Minho. They watch him as he goes directly to the steel door and crosses without waiting for them.

Taemin moves quickly, trying to hide his red face from view. Jonghyun helps Jinki up and Taemin follows Kibum, the first one to exit the room.

He almost crashes against Kibum’s back because he stopped suddenly, his face contorted in a timeless expression of surprise and shock. He looks at the floor and sees three pairs of legs. He recognizes his executive in a heartbeat. Then, there is a pair of boots that have half-tucked trousers on them and there’s a pair of summer sandals next to them.

“Oh God!” he hears Jonghyun from behind him say, letting his breath go sharply.

Taemin looks up and finds himself in front of Yoochun and Yunho from Dong Bang Shin Ki. In the flesh.

“Looks like your welcoming delegation is here boys. They’ll tell you how this place works. Good luck with your integration period.”

The man goes and leaves the hall empty except for five gapping mouths looking at Yunho and Yoochun like they were ghosts from their wildest dreams.

“Yunho! Look how cute they are!” says Yoochun, jumping a little. “And look how thin! Jaejoong is going to love them!”

“Yoochun!” Yunho, leader of Dong Bang Shin Ki tries to calm his teammate down. “Hello boys!” he says, looking at them one by one with a smile. “Welcome to SM! I’m sure you’ll be happy here! Work hard and your efforts will be rewarded! We came to set up security and take you to your quarters.”

“How come that…”

“I always set security up for the new teams.” Yoochun responds Jonghyun’s unfinished question.

“Just because you and Jaejoong like to check the new blood first,” mutters Yunho.

“Well, it’s you who is going to have to fight Jaejoong’s cold shoulder,” Yoochun says, taking a step forward to them and dismissing Yunho’s complaints. “Okay guys. Who wants to go first?” he asks.

They stay where they are and Yoochun frowns.

“Don’t tell me you are going to be nice. Nice is not good. Nice is boring. Naughty on the other side…”

“Yoochun!” Yunho shouts.

“Don’t let Yunho scare you off. He is trying to be proper and all that jazz. Is not going to work, so don’t pay attention to him.”

“What do you need us to do?” asks Jinki with a soft and shy voice that makes Yoochun’s eyes shine.

“Seriously, they are so cute!” he says to Yunho. Turning to face them again, he explains what they have to do, “Well, I need you to wake up your powers so I can see what type of personal shield you need and what barriers I have to put in your house.”

Taemin feels afraid of letting his powers go, he always has been. Things seem more alive when he is using it, colours more vivid and sounds sharper. His control is paper thin in the best of cases. It isn’t safe to let go, much less in such a building. There is supposed to be layers and layers of shields and protective barriers. Not used to them, he is going to overload his senses and control.

Yunho apparently knows what is going inside his mind because he smiles directly at him.

“You are Taemin the Psion, right?” he asks. Taemin nods shyly. “Don’t worry. I’m here. And Yoochun is the best there is.”

“Do you want to go first?” Yoochun asks, looking at him seriously now, making Taemin even more nervous.

“I’ll start.” Jinki says. “I’m a healer, so he shouldn’t feel threatened by me, right?”

“I’ll explain step by step what I’m going to do so you feel safer. First, I’m going to take all the standard protections out.” Yoochun moves his hands in the air. “I made a bubble of this hall, so there is no influence besides us in it. Wow! You are a good healer! Level 9 Yunho! His aura is so soft and pretty!” Yoochun is smiling at something only he can see. “Next?”

Jonghyun says a shy “me” and Yoochun smiles at him and starts moving his hands again. Yunho smiles, looking at his teammate with something Taemin can only call fondness.

“This one is fun!” Yoochun says to Yunho again. “Blue-ish!” Kibum moves and Yoochun repeats his movements. Taemin tries to make out of them a pattern or something. “Oh my! You, my friend, are such a master of precision!” he praises Kibum and their arrogant tribe Chieftain flushes bright pink. Yoochun laughs softly. Minho’s intense stare makes Yoochun go to him. “Doesn’t this one make you think in someone else we know Yunho? Such passion!” Again, Yoochun is laughing. This time, Yunho goes along with him.

It’s Taemin’s turn and he closes his eyes before freeing the iron grip he has over his powers. The first seconds make him breathless. There are too many things happening at once, too many essences trying to get into his consciousness. He doesn’t see colours as it appears Yoochun does. He notices first Yoochun’s power because it takes over the rest of them. It’s strong and unmoving, like a steel wall that is just two steps from him, menacing but inoffensive. He does something that tones it down, giving Taemin room to feel the rest. He notices first Jonghyun. He is eclectic, aching for movement, not barely there as if his power was moving. Then, there’s Kibum. He is trying tentatively to reach out and calm him, just in case. Looks like something instinctive, and Taemin just knows that aside from how arrogant he is, Kibum is soft, sensitive and a good person. Is then when Taemin realizes he has crunched over himself and slipped to the floor. Jinki puts a hand on top of his head and he breathes normally again. His power is calming, like a draught make to dilute the edges of the world. He can’t see it but suddenly Yoochun’s words make sense.

It takes him a few more minutes to pull together the strength to get up. And when he does, there is a hand in front of him to help and he grabs it not thinking who the owner is.

A bolt of energy goes throw him and he shakes. The hand tries to get back and let him go, but Taemin doesn’t let it. It’s thrilling how drunk such a simple contact leaves him. He looks up, still feeling exhilarated, and Minho’s eyes lock into his, both of them equally surprised with what’s happening.

“Nice? I think not!” Yoochun singsongs and gets back their attention. Jonghyun and Jinki seem confused, Kibum is frowning and Yunho covers his eyes with his hand. “This is why we always pick boys!” he explains to Yunho, so happy that his smile threatens to fall out of his face. “They are always naughty! Jaejoong is going to be so annoyed he couldn’t see this!”
