NUMBER 2: 100 SUJU FICS CHALLENGE!
Ryeowook had finished putting the last glittery penguin ornament onto the tree. He stepped back wiping the light sheen of sweat on his forehead, then tilted his head to admire his hard work. An elated smile accompanied by an accomplished sigh rose. The pine needled tree stood with jutting branches veiled by silver tinsel, red glistening garland swooping in and about, candy canes dangling delicately, and popcorn laced together circling the tree like a protective hug.
Although the tree was not very tall, the vibrant, golden star shone brightly down upon him, as if it were a real star shining high in the night.
“So pretty,” Ryeowook mused to himself.
But his satisfied smile soon lowered to a disappointed frown. The other members had left for the evening to enjoy some holiday fun on the town, leaving him to decorate the tree by himself. He felt like Changmin from Dong Bang Shin Ki…
It was alright though! Ryeowook always looked on the positive side of things! He still had egg nog in the refrigerator, and freshly baked cookies all to himself! He clapped with excitement and skidded to the kitchen where he fixed himself a savory plate of warm, soft chocolate chip cookies and a small glass of creamy egg nog.
Since he also had the house to himself he could also sing as loud as he wanted! With his plate and glass, he headed straight for the piano.
“Hmm... which song to play...” He tapped his chin in deep thought. “Oh!” Of course he would play a song that should always be played at Christmas!
He struck the first chords of the popular song, a faint smile on his lips as he quietly sang the first words.
“Christmas time is here,
happiness and cheer,
fun for all
that children call
their favorite time of year.“
He began to sing louder with each passing note.
“Snowflakes in the air,
carols everywhere,
olden times
and ancient rhymes
of love and dreams to share.”
Oh who was Ryeowook kidding? He immediately stopped playing and raised his hands to his face, hot streams of tears trailing down his face. He was by himself on Christmas Eve! How could he be singing of love and dreams to share?
Moments passed of the only sound in the house being his lonely sobs. When suddenly-
“Sleigh bells in the air;
beauty every where…”
Ryeowook made a small squeak of shock as he looked up from his hands. He quickly wiped at his widening eyes as he saw his hyung leaning gracefully against the wall.
“Heechul hyung… wh-what.. wh-why? Shouldn’t you be with the others?” He hiccupped from crying earlier and blushed in embarrassment. The other had seen him crying like a pathetic fool.
Heechul shook his head. “I’ve been here the whole time. I actually wanted to help decorate the tree but I ended up taking a longer nap than I planned.”
“Oh,” was all Ryeowook could say in response to that. He stared down at the piano keys feeling utterly awkward. He thought he was alone and decided to have some Christmas cheer, which only ended up turning into self pity sorrow. He sighed hoping that Heechul would take this as a cue to go back to napping.
But he didn’t. He pushed himself off the wall and pointedly stepped over to the piano. Ryeowook made no motion to move, hoping it would be another cue for the other to leave him be. Yet his hyung still sat down next to him; only now he was so close that their legs softly touched.
Ryeowook’s eyes adverted down to the warm contact and he obligingly scooted over, breaking the warmth.
Heechul accordingly placed his slender fingers onto the keys, and began to play the next notes. His unique voice filled Ryeowook’s ears.
“Yuletide by the fireside…”
Heechul faded off as he glanced over at Ryeowook waiting for him to join. But Ryeowook didn’t budge. He only stared ahead.
“And joyful memories there…”
He faded off once again waiting. But when he heard nothing he frowned at his failed attempt to cheer up his dongsaeng. The truth was, he stayed behind not for decorating but for Ryeowook.
Heechul made a movement to stand up when the soft voice halted him.
“Christmas time is here…”
A smile graced Heechul’s features as he planted his fingers back onto the piano, playing each chord with more enthusiasm.
“Families drawing near…” Ryeowook was singing with a new purpose now. He knew that Heechul was trying to make him feel better, which in turn really did make him feel better. It showed his hyung who was usually so self-centered cared about him.
And as he sang the last words, Heechul had joined in causing him to sing much louder. Their voices rang through the house as their smiles spread widely across their faces.
“Oh that we could always see!
Such spiiiirit through the yeeear.”
By now they were both laughing wildly and Ryeowook had to hold his stomach, while Heechul wiped his eyes.
When the last heaves of laughter finally faded off, Heechul sat there grinning at Ryeowook. The other boy was so adorable.
“Thank you hyung.” Ryeowook sent Heechul a small smile of appreciation.
The two sat there in complacent silence.
Ryeowook felt it was probably now time to get up, but before he moved an inch, he felt a warm touch to his face. Heechul was delicately cupping his cheek as Ryeowook noticed he was closer than before.
“Hyung?” His eyes grew with curiosity as he felt a throbbing heat rush to his cheeks.
The next instant his mouth was gently enveloped by smooth, prying lips. His heart seemed to pound in his chest as he naturally closed his eyes, indulging himself into the tender kiss. He could feel the other’s long fingers brush the sensitive hairs at the nape of his neck. A small noise fluttered out from him when their noses barely collided, as Heechul lightly sucked his bottom lip, tugging at it so that Ryeowook only blushed more.
Yet just as Ryeowook was yearning more of this wonderfully drowning feeling, Heechul pulled away, breaking the spell of love and dreams to share.
Ryeowook hesitantly opened his flooded eyes, his gaze full of Heechul’s enriching smile.
“Merry Christmas, Ryeowook.”
Yay! The end!
If you didn’t know that song is A Charlie Brown’s Christmas Time is Here song!
