it's what happens offstage that matter most.
It takes the promise of bubble tea and the completion of his math homework before Sehun agrees and lets Kai stay the night in his room. When even Baekhyun and Chanyeol get tired of bickering with each other and head off to bed, Kai remains in the front room with Suho, watching as the leader studies something with an intensity that has a shiver running down Kai’s spine. It only takes a few silent minutes before the leader notices they’re the only ones left awake and chuckles weakly.
“Jongin, shouldn’t you be resting already?” he questions and Kai feels a surge of respect because Suho really isn’t that much older than him, but cares about him so well.
“I was waiting for hyung,” he answers and prompts Suho to get to his feet, shutting his notebook and reaching a hand down to him.
“Well, let’s go. We have a full schedule tomorrow and you need sleep.” The gentle smile on his face has Kai smiling back and he allows himself to be pulled to his feet and steered in the direction of their rooms, but instead of going into his and D.O’s shared room, he follows Suho.
Suho doesn’t notice him right away, too busy preparing for bed, but he soon sees Kai standing awkwardly near the bunk beds and pauses.
“Jongin-ah, what are you doing?”
Kai doesn’t answer, just looks between the two beds before crawling in the bottom bunk, pressing himself against the wall.
“That’s my bed,” Suho says, but makes his way over, eyebrows knitted together in confusion on Kai’s antics.
“Can I… I just want to sleep with hyung tonight. If that’s okay?” Kai fidgets with the comforter on Suho’s bed, resolutely keeping his gaze away from the leaders.
Suho doesn’t say anything, just stands there watching Kai before joining him on the bed, slipping under the blankets and holding the edge up. “Come on. Get in properly,” he urges and Kai does just that, fighting to keep a grin from his face as he burrows under the warm blankets and wriggles as close as possible without actually lying on top of Suho.
The older boy laughs, a soft tingling in Kai’s ears, before slinging his arm around Kai and pulling him in closer until he’s flush against his chest.
Kai looks at their arms, pressed together and wonders at the difference between the two; Suho’s is thin, pale skin stretched over the prominent bones of wrist and elbow, a stark contrast to the dark muscles of Kai’s arm. It confuses him and comforts him all the same and he lets the steady rhythm of Suho’s breathing lure him to a gentle doze.
He’s almost out when a soft voice cuts through the quiet, “Next time, you don’t have to bribe Sehun, just come in. Okay?”
Kai nods and finally falls asleep with a soft smile on his face.
