DRABBLES
Faith...
The car stops and we get out. I must be crazy because it’s freezing out here; you’re sneezing, your nose is red, your eyes are puffy and your skin is cold but you still smile brightly at me and at my weak attempt to say sorry.
We sit watching the starry night above us, with the sound of the sea embracing our forms; you eagerly pull off your sneakers and socks. I see your little toes playing with the sand, you remind me of a small child that I must protect from the cruel world out there.
I do the same as you and surprisingly the shoes come easily off, as if they also want to be free, to enjoy their personal liberty. The musical sound of your laugh makes my heart clench, fears and doubts fill me everytime I hear your voice. My biggest fear is to disappoint you, to hurt you…what will I do when you finally realize the person I am?
Will you still smile at me? Will you still be by my side?
Your hand is warm, so different from my cold skin; you catch the tear I didn’t know it was dropping. A gentle kiss over the watery trail and you madly blush after. I understand your unspoken words; I talk and write and compose; you dance and smile and love.
You’ll always be with me.
And I actually believe in that because in your heart there’s no space for doubts or worries, only for love and happiness…Faith.
Destiny…
Hyukjae do you remember how we first met?
You look from your computer game in my direction, you’re not really paying attention to what I’m saying, you recognize my mood…darkness and sorrow is filling my body. Of course hyung, you lent me your umbrella. Yes, that’s the answer I’m expecting.
The first time I talked to you, sharing an umbrella over a rainy night, guiding you home safely and receiving a sugary coffee as thanks gift, inside your cozy but overpopulated dorm. I smile fondly at the thought of the feelings we shared that night, feelings that were still growing with small baby steps but that rapidly suppressed my ambitions of simply having your friendship.
That was not the first time.
You turn around, forgetting the game. I can’t avoid a laugh when you press fingers against your temples in a desperate move to remember. The palm of my hand softly pats the free spot on the sofa; you quickly run to my side and land right next to me. I feel your head resting over my shoulder and my arms surround your body giving you the cue, I know you want, to cuddle against them.
I was sitting at a park; my girlfriend had just broken up with me…twice. I don’t remember crying but I remember you smiling at me like a crazy person. You gave me your lunch box and told me to be strong, hang in there…you left just like that, quickly joining Junsu who was waiting for you at the other side of the park.
You chuckle and play a joke, I understand you’re being shy and embarrassed; your ears are burning red from the blush spreading from your face to the other parts of your body.
I hug you even tightly, I’m not trying to make you blush, that’s too easy. You hit me with what’s supposed to be strength but it comes out just like yourself, a little kitten playful nudge. My next words stop your rebellion and leave you with dreamy eyes.
I’m trying to show you what we are…Destiny.
Love…
You look peaceful when you’re asleep. If I could I would never, ever wake you up again, that way I could have you all to myself and closed inside a safe bubble, so no one could ever harm you.
I am a jealous, insecure and tainted man. You don’t believe in any of it of course, I’m your role model, the person you aspire to be one day…secretly I hope you fail in that. I hope you above all don’t lose your pureness, don’t lose your innocence…I hope you can remain the way you are forever.
Your eyes come back to life, I watch you struggle with the blurring of your vision as the sun caresses your features. A smile full of gums and white teeth greets me and you can’t imagine how unbelievable happy that simple gesture makes me.
Last night was the best night of my entire life, you shyly confess, hiding your eyes behind the long bangs of your hair. The scent of our love-making seems to be impregnate in the white sheets of the bed, slowly I pull them over us and you snuggle close to me, maybe searching for warmth, maybe searching for protection…I more than gladly give the both of them to you.
Drawing small circles with my fingers on your bare back, I realize this is what happiness is all about. It’s hard to believe there are people who desire money, who desire prestige or even world mass attention…who can wish for such superficial things when happiness is so easy to attain? No it’s not that easy, I think to myself, I'm one of the few lucky persons in this crazy world that has the chance to experience the true meaning of that word.
What are you thinking about? You ask in a sleepy voice, vibrating against my neck. I peck your swollen lips, leaving a never ending trail of butterfly kisses over your collarbone. The sound of your giggles makes me truly smile and I end up pulling you up; my eyes close to your chocolate ones and I'm more than serious when I finally speak.
There’s this little thing called ‘my heart’ and you can unreservedly have it, forever and ever…Love
