[M] XXXIII (1/1)

XXXIIIEunhyuk's hand stayed with the younger's during their drive back. Their fingers brushed against each other all the time and he made sure to let his palm rest on Donghae's thigh whenever he could. The brunet played with their intertwined fingers now and then and whenever he looked at him, Donghae was a softly smiling angel. Their hands were as magnetic as their gazes and there was no room for anything or anyone else than the other on their way to the dorm. Right before opening the door, Eunhyuk felt how Donghae wrapped his fingers around his pinky to keep him close and it was this tiny moment of affection that almost made his heart burst through his ribcage."Oh, there you are. We already reported the both of you missing."It wasn’t like Eunhyuk or Donghae really paid attention to what Kyuhyun said, they only had eyes for each other. There was a strand of hair in the brunet's face and Eunhyuk pushed it a bit to the side, brushed over Donghae's cheek that still felt nicely warm. The younger smiled – and for a second he wondered if Donghae was even human. He was everything he had ever searched for; his love, his soulmate and the definition of perfection. Donghae was too perfect to be real."I think we should tell Heechul-hyung to abort the helicopter mission", Yesung mumbled with a sigh and made Kyuhyun nod his head in approval."Did you two hear that? We were worried!"Eunhyuk grinned, a bit wider than before, and helped Donghae out of his jacket. Their hands found back to each other right afterwards and once again Donghae chose to hold on to his pinky, just like this was any less obvious. "I'll bring Donghae to bed", the raven head said without tearing his gaze away from the younger. "He needs some rest.""Yes, and affection for sure", Kyuhyun muttered and judged them hard. "Did the canine squad help you or did you find him by yourself?"Eunhyuk fixed the other's brown locks after pulling the beanie off his head and smiled fondly as he stroked over his warm cheeks once again. "He sleeps in my room tonight... That way I can take better care of him.""Of course. We will go shopping in the meantime. I always wanted to go and buy some new clothes at night.""We could go to the other dorm too", Yesung offered. "It's not the first time, they will understand.""But why are we always the ones that have to leave? Can't they be a bit more considerate?""Just let them do what they want, be glad that they are happy."Kyuhyun rolled his eyes. "I would be happy too if they wouldn’t make me feel awkward as hell. I mean, look at them! They don’t even notice that we're here."Yesung's gaze flitted over to the other two; their faces were so close now that they literally blindly stumbled to Eunhyuk's room. He shrugged his shoulders. "You know, I recently bought new earphones. They're pretty good in drowning all other noises around you."Kyuhyun didn’t manage to speak out his answer before the door already fell shut behind Eunhyuk. He closed it without looking and wrapped his arms around Donghae's waist as he slowly made him walk backwards. Feather-light kisses landed on the younger's forehead and made him giggle like a child before Eunhyuk pushed him down to sit on the bed."Are you still feeling cold?" he asked and leaned down, pressed another kiss against his temple. Donghae's eyes fluttered shut for a moment."A bit."The raven head hummed and slowly walked over to the wardrobe to search for some warm clothes; he came back with a pair of sweatpants and an old oversized sweater. Eunhyuk couldn’t help but to kiss him once again as he sat down beside him, wanted to cover him over and over with sweet little kisses that made Donghae smile so lovely that he thought he was dreaming. Before he could kiss him on the lips however, Donghae turned his head to the side and coughed. It wasn’t as violent as it had been some days ago but it still made him worry."You have to take your medicine again", Eunhyuk said and made the fond expression fall from Donghae's face."No, not again! It's so much better already, I can deal without that stuff!"Eunhyuk shook his head strictly. "No, you can't. I'll go upstairs and get it."Donghae groaned, but couldn’t stop him from getting up. The raven head walked over to the door, pulled it open – and almost bumped into Heechul who stood right in front of him. Eunhyuk jumped and quickly backed away a bit; the murderous glares the other had sent him were still very present in his mind."Hyung, what the-""I heard he's here?" Heechul pressed himself past him and entered the room, pushed a bunch of colorful packages in Eunhyuk's arms before he walked over to Donghae. Eunhyuk was so flustered that he couldn’t even stop him. "God, Donghae! I was so worried! You can't run away like that!"Donghae smiled softly as Heechul flung himself beside him. "I'm alright, hyung. Hyukkie found me quickly.""Why did you run away to begin with? Nobody wants you to get even sicker!" Heechul sighed dramatically and placed both hands on Donghae's face to feel his temperature. "Are things okay now again?"The younger nodded and couldn’t suppress another smile as his gaze darted over to Eunhyuk. "Now everything's fine again."Heechul was visibly revealed and his lips even curled a bit before he turned his head to look at Eunhyuk. His tiny smile immediately fell from his lips. "It better stays like this."Was Eunhyuk intimidated by this? Yes, he was. He even felt the need to quickly leave the room, but chose to duck his head instead so Heechul couldn’t torture him with more of his glares."Why are you here, hyung?"Donghae's silent voice brought Heechul's attention back to him and the smile quickly returned to his lips. "I brought your medicine", he said and nodded towards Eunhyuk who struggled to keep all the packages in his arms. "And I wanted to make sure that you're feeling better before that monkey takes care of you again.""And why didn’t you knock?" Eunhyuk asked and only shortly looked up. Heechul hesitated for a second."Well, I just came here and-""He eavesdropped!" Kyuhyun yelled from somewhere."Yah, you brat! One more word and I'll make sure that Siwon is the one taking care of you the next time you're sick! And I'll tell him to hug you tight at night too because you're freezing, no matter what kind of sickness you'll have!"Yesung laughed out loud and that there wasn’t a response told Heechul that he had won. He flipped his hair and seemed really contented for a moment – at least until he heard Eunhyuk's voice."Did you eavesdrop for real?" the raven head asked bluntly."Of course not." Heechul scoffed and got up from the bed. "And instead of asking such rude questions you should rather take good care of my favorite dongsaeng. You know that I'll rip you to shreds if you don’t."With this he was out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him. Eunhyuk heaved a heavy sigh and dropped everything he held in his arms onto his desk. He walked over to the door and locked it, made sure that nobody else would be able to disturb them anymore before he took a look at the things Heechul had brought. "What a hyung, seriously…" he muttered as he looked through all the packages to find the right one."He's a good hyung", Donghae mumbled and made Eunhyuk sigh again."Yeah, mostly to you…" He grabbed one of the small cardboard boxes after the other and turned them slightly in his hand. "Tea… and another box of tea… linctus… oh, pills! More tea, bon-bons and a cute bottle of- What the hell?""A cute bottle of what?""I'm not even sure… It says aloe vera."It was while speaking those two last words out that Eunhyuk understood what he held in his hand. His eyes widened and Heechul always being a good hyung to Donghae suddenly had a whole new meaning to him. And Donghae seemed to understand as well, even if he was not as shocked as him."Oh", the brunet only said and Eunhyuk quickly dropped the bottle to grab one of the other packages again."Time for your medicine", he dwelled and laughed awkwardly. Donghae still wasn’t convinced and on top of that a bit disappointed that they didn’t continue talking about the bottle any further."I don’t want", he whined as Eunhyuk sat down next to him and nervously opened the small box. "They taste awful!""Come on... They'll make you feel better."Donghae pouted – and knew all too well that this was the right strategy to win. "What do I get when I take them?"Eunhyuk looked up and as he saw the younger sulking, he had to laugh. "You want something in return?" Donghae hummed and made him grin wider. "Okay… How about some kisses?"A shy smile appeared on the brunet's lips. "Three?""Three kisses for one pill? Deal!"He reached out for a bottle of water standing on his bedside table and handed it over to the younger together with a pill. Donghae gulped it down without even making a face and immediately turned slightly towards him afterwards. They both leaned in and Eunhyuk was just about to close his eyes; the delightful expression on the brunet's face disappeared rather quickly however as a thought crossed his mind. "We can't kiss", he deadpanned and even backed away a bit."Why not?""I could infect you."Eunhyuk kept staring at him for a moment and then laughed. "Donghae, I spent days beside you when you almost coughed your lungs out. I don’t think you're contagious.""Oh…" Donghae's gaze flitted to the side shortly. "Maybe you're right.""See? And now…" He smiled fondly and scooted closer. "It's time for your reward."With the slightest bit of pressure Eunhyuk attached his lips to Donghae's, their eyes shut and hearts jumping in their chests. For a couple of seconds they stayed like this, enjoyed to finally be able to do this again, before Eunhyuk broke the kiss just to lean in again. He repeated this another time, tried to let every kiss last as long as he could, and after the third kiss had ended, the raven head wondered why Donghae hadn't requested a fourth and fifth one. His eyes fluttered open and there really was nothing else he could do than to smile as he saw Donghae's gorgeous face."Are there some other meds I have to take?" the younger asked like he could hear him think. Their faces were still so close to each other that it was hard for Eunhyuk to collect his thoughts."One spoonful of linctus?" he asked in a whisper and heard him hum even though this stuff tasted just as bad as the pills."But this time I want six kisses."Eunhyuk grinned and reached out for the bottle. "I'd give you one hundred if you would ask me to."Donghae chuckled. "Then give me one hundred. I surely won't complain."And so Donghae took all of his medicine without whining once, was too anticipating for the other's lips to say a word. Donghae's hand travelled to Eunhyuk's nape, carefully fisted his black hair as their mouths found back to each other. Eunhyuk held onto him as well as he deepened their innocent pecks and leaned in so much after some time that he slowly made Donghae lie down. He had his hand at the back of the younger's head and carefully rested it on the pillow; Donghae's face was still slightly flushed as they looked at each other and Eunhyuk couldn’t help but to press another kiss against his forehead."Let's change into your sleeping clothes, alright?"He was whispering because he felt the need to do it and his heart was beating with admiration and love only as he saw him nod. Tender hands travelled underneath the brunet's shirt and pulled it over his head. Donghae's skin felt warm under his fingertips as they traced along his flat stomach and sides, that's why he was a bit surprised of the goose bumps that appeared only a few seconds later."Hyukkie." Donghae sounded like he wanted to avoid saying it. "I feel cold…"Eunhyuk saw him shiver a bit and quickly grabbed his sweater. "Come here."He made him sit up and helped him to wear the warm piece of clothing, fixed his hair after letting him sink back down to the mattress. The sweater was too big for him and made him look tiny; with his reddened cheeks and the still somewhat messy hair Donghae looked so adorable that a pleasant warmth filled Eunhyuk's body from head to toe."I wish there were words to explain how happy I am to have you", he mumbled and knew that those words didn’t exist, no matter how hard he would be trying to find them. He could've talked for days without saying anything that made enough sense to let Donghae know how precious he was to him. Maybe saying that he was the world to him was a start, but Donghae already knew that. And maybe it wasn't even needed to say anything because Donghae was aware of his feelings just like Eunhyuk was aware of the younger's feelings for him.Donghae smiled fondly and reached his hand out to place it on Eunhyuk's cheek. "I was so scared of losing this, you", he whispered and his fingertips traced along Eunhyuk's cheek bone, shaking a bit and yet steady. "I never want to lose you again.""You won't. As long as you don’t tell me to leave you, I will stay by your side."The brunet smiled. "Promise?""Solemn promise, Donghae."He heard him giggle and it still was the most beautiful sound on Earth to him. Maybe it was that moment that made Eunhyuk understand that his main goal in life now was to keep Donghae laughing like this. What kind of boyfriend would he be when he cared about anything else more than this?Eunhyuk leaned down and pressed his lips softly against the younger's to kiss him with all the love he felt in his heart. Those sweet pecks made his chest almost burst with joy and he swore that he wanted to spend a lifetime with nothing but kissing him. Donghae's arms found around his neck and Eunhyuk started deepening their kisses once again, nibbled on the brunet's bottom lip and made him open his mouth slightly. Their tongues met after Eunhyuk had caressed the soft flesh of Donghae's lips with his own for countless minutes and they nearly melted into each other, enjoyed that kiss that had to be one of their most tender ones so far. There was no hurry in anything they did and they both didn’t really notice what Eunhyuk's hand did while doing the only thing that felt right in that moment.As the lack of oxygen forced them to part, Eunhyuk was a bit surprised to find one of his hands underneath the younger's sweater, yet he had no might to stop it from brushing over Dongha
