Title: Here (In Your Arms) Genre: Pure Fluff Pairing: Eunhyuk/Donghae Rating: G - PG Disclaimer: I do not own Super Junior, Donghae, Eunhyuk, or the magic of Eunhae (though I very much wish I did) A/N: Probably fluffier than your pillow The title as well as the lyrics are from Hellogoodbye's song: Here (In Your Arms)
It just all felt so right to Donghae... This wasn't an immoral relationship- It was a holy one. One to be treasured and cherished, and Donghae promised he would do just that...
You are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers “hello, I've missed you quite terribly” I fell in love, in love with you suddenly There's no place else I could be but here in your arms... ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Donghae's eyes fluttered open slowly to silent darkness The night was peaceful, alluring, perfect
He had no clue as to where he was, His newly-awakened state had removed any trace of remembrance from his brain, Fogged with a touch of sleepiness and lethargy
Donghae shifted ever so slightly, Instantly feeling a familiar pair of strong, gentle arms securely encircling his waist No wonder he felt so comfortable
As his sense of touch and awareness had gradually began to sharpen, He realized his head was resting on someone's chest, Merely covered by a super thin, unbelievably soft layer of cotton,
Which effortlessly allowed the tender warmth of skin underneath to bleed through And spread over the entire left side of Donghae's face
His left hand was rather occupied, fisted in a cocoon of the other's shirt The fingers of his other hand slid down across a thin line, Something smooth and fleshly muscular, Collarbones, he immediately identified
Donghae pressed himself closer and drank in that lovely, sweet scent he knew so well His free hand traveled gingerly up the other's neck, Easily finding the fine angle of sharp, pronounced jawline
Donghae smiled knowingly, reveling in sleepy happiness He had known since he awoke He knew every inch of this person He knew every motion, Every secret, Every fear, Every passion, Every meaning and expression
No matter how cliché it sounded, To Lee Donghae, life just wouldn't be the same without Hyukjae That one name added so much beauty, so many smiles, so many words and memories Donghae was sincerely happy, no matter how they spent their time
Watching television on Saturday morning (It was really more like Hyukjae flipping through channels, Asking Donghae what he wanted to watch Donghae would reply with a smile and a shrug, “Whatever you want, Hyuk” “No! Whatever you want.” “I said it first! You pick.” “But I'm asking you for your honest opinion of what we should see.” Neither of them would choose a show, ensuing in a never-ending battle of politeness That almost always resulted in a “to-the-death” wrestling match/tickle fight on the couch)
Going out to eat (Donghae didn't even need to order Hyukjae was aware of exactly what he wanted, How he preferred his meat, What spice level Donghae would choose Because Hyukjae had observed him all these years, He could just tell by the way Donghae's eyes widened when he liked an entree on the menu)
Recording in the studio (This was the only place they actually got work done [sometimes] Hyukjae was so driven to succeed, pouring his heart and soul into the music Donghae's passion was just as strong But the fierce determination in Hyuk's eyes was unlike anything else Even when Donghae wasn't recording that day, He would always come along to watch Hyukjae would pretend to protest, But he always ended up agreeing in the end when Donghae's pouting session began)
Enjoying quality time with the others (Even if he was on the other side of the room filled with laughter, exclamations, and motion He merely had to glance over to see that dazzling bright gummy smile, The special smile that Hyukjae only showed him)
Learning Japanese (Oh, how he messed up... But somehow, it was always alright because Hyukjae had always been there To sweetly correct him and show him the proper wording)
Watching a sappy drama (In which Donghae would always find himself crying, But the tears fell only for an instant before he was soothed by a warm embrace, A deep whisper in his ear “It's alright, Hae.” Donghae would always try to protest that he indeed wasn't crying, But he couldn't, because Hyukjae knew Hyukjae knew everything)
Donghae smiled He was happy Overjoyed Content to just to lay here next to Hyukjae in silence Content to be the one that the other was holding Content to feel the gentle rise and fall of Hyukjae's chest Inhale, exhale Donghae realized their breath was one But really, this was normal
Everything about them was normal It just all felt so right to Donghae This wasn't an immoral relationship It was a holy one
One to be treasured and cherished And Donghae promised he would do just that as long as he had breath
“Hyukjae.”
His voice was as soft as the strands of blonde that tickled his nose and eyelashes
“Hyukkie, are you awake?” Donghae had no intention of depriving his best friend of sleep, For he knew how precious it was to all of them However, he needed assurance Donghae was naturally needy for interaction, But his constant longing for affection had increased with the death of his father Hyukjae had become his father figure in a way, the hyung he looked up to the most
Though Hyukjae talked to him often, Donghae just needed to hear that voice again tonight The voice that cleared his thoughts and spread pleasant warmth throughout his body The voice that told him how special he was The voice that encouraged him, built him up
He waited for a moment, then decided Hyukjae was indeed not awake And he should by no means disturb the peaceful angel laying by his side
Donghae moved ever so slightly, Repositioning himself back to his initial spot on Hyukjae's firm chest Instantly, he felt the hold on his waist tighten It was almost undetectable, but it was enough to make Donghae's heart flutter He smiled, feeling the beautiful sense of belonging
“I know you're sleeping, but I just wanted to tell you how special you are to me. I know I say it every day, but I'm so glad you're in my life. I thank God for you every day- For that smile, For those eyes, That face, These arms that always protect me and keep me safe. Thank you for always being there for me, hyung. I will always be by your side. Please don't take this wrong, but I love you, I always have. I love being here- in your arms. Let's stay like this for a long time...”
Donghae suddenly felt the call within him softly beckoning him back to sleep He was too eager and comfortable to give in So with one last smile, he gently slid his leg over Hyukjae's and closed his eyes, Filled with complete comfort and peace It only took seconds before the halcyon night lulled him into unconsciousness once again
Unbeknownst to him, Hyukjae had waited for his breathing to become deep and rhythmic Before smiling to himself in the darkness He had heard every heartfelt word, Every deep meaning Though he felt a little guilty for not responding, he knew he didn't have to Because Donghae already knew
Hyukjae pulled the child-like sleeping figure closer to him as he whispered in Donghae's ear “You know I love you too. I will always be here to protect my Hae. Just stay here, by my side. Stay here, here in my arms...”
The older placed a feather-light kiss to Hae's forehead Before falling into a wonderful dreamland, One where he had always met a very special someone halfway... ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ I like where you sleep, when you sleep next to me I like where you sleep - here
Our lips can touch Our cheeks can brush Our lips can touch - here
You are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers “hello, I missed you quite terribly” I fell in love, in love with you suddenly There's no place else I could be but here in your arms...
