So, I dreamt of Kyle again. Hehe.

Even in my dream, he was a hugger and a very adorable lover.

It was nice, since I know there is no chance in real life and I would rather have it stay that way, I was able to get the chance to somewhat experience how it is in my dreams.

He smelled good and was as warm as a hug in a cold winter's night.

Oh, and his laugh? Gods, don't get me started. 🫠

chapter forty two : the war is...

*written*

word count : 1k

warnings : erm.. Maybe cheesy dialogue idk i was listening to ‘iyo’ by darren espanto so if anything i was immersed.

You’re a complete mess, hair all a rat's nest pacing down the street, scratching at your arm as a distraction that the lady you pass protects her purse labelling you as nothing but a ‘crackhead’. 

You punch in your code, pulling at the door before it can even get a beep in. 

Your eyes flit around his clean kitchen, save for a couple of opened cans of beer on the bench before zeroing in on his suitcase sitting in the middle of the living room floor. With a momentary decision, you race towards his suitcase, getting a grip on the body and the handle awkwardly. 

“Y/N?” 

With only a quick glimpse at the boy in front of you fresh from a quick shower, before you rush out of his apartment with his suitcase in your hold. 

“Y/N!” 

You run and run, despite his cursing and his pleas for you to slow down and stop going ignored. Two things you are very against currently, but it feels like a hate crime when you find yourself at a dead end. Your turn hazardously, trapped as you look for a way out. 

“Y/N, what the fuck?” He’s exasperated, exhausted and pure sweat. Not an ounce of amusement. 

You breathe heavily. 

“You took my suitcase,” He states, a slight whistle in his breath. 

“Yes.” 

You stare at him, tears welling in your eyes. His hair is still somewhat wet, darker than usual. It sends your heart into overdrive. 

“Let me guess…” He raises his eyebrows, exhaling, “You thought ‘Oh Haechan must not need any peace today, let’s make him fucking run after he just showered!’ Yeah I like your idea, really.” 

And you stare some more, unwilling to let him leave your sight, your grip on the suitcase tightening until the strain turns your wrist bloodless, “You can’t leave.” 

What?

You must be delirious. 

Absolutely mental. 

“You can’t just tell me what to do,” He chastises to which you shake your head like a scolded kid getting the biggest verbal lashing of your life. And yet, despite that you hold firm. 

He observes your expression with an inquisitive look that rivals Sherlock Holmes. Pausing at what he finds. 

“You told me you hated me,” He murmurs bewildered, “And I acce-” 

“- I didn’t mean it,” You interrupt him, “I don’t want you to leave.” 

He huffs out a laugh without humour, “You sounded pretty convincing, Y/N.” 

“You know I didn’t mean it,” You repeat. 

“Maybe. But nothing you told me afterwards proved otherwise, so why not take that as truth?” 

“I’m scared of you, but I don’t hate you,” You confess, “I could never hate you.” 

He swallows before he looks away, finding it difficult to look you in the eye at the confession. 

“Call me typical, call me frustrating,” You enunciate, “But I feel differently for you. We promised it was just sex and I know there was no contract or whatever. And then you…did what you did.” 

“Admitted my feelings,” He’s straight-faced, blatant with his truth. 

“And I hated it,” You scoff, “But I also hated that I loved it more. The first thing I saw was our memories and how I felt something I’ve never felt before. And then….made you feel less than worth it.” 

Projected. 

“And I’ve got no sob story at all.. It just got out of hand with my pride and everything. And I realise I didn’t do anything to calm the fact that your jealousy wasn’t just jealousy but insecurity and I took it as a joke.” 

“Hm,” He mutters, kicking the ground with his feet, tongue rolling in his mouth. 

“But you’re not one,” The need to victimise yourself is pressed down by your gritted teeth, “You’re not anything like that to me. You’re….a whole meaning entirely.” 

You swallow the clog in your throat to no avail. 

“You’re the only Haechan I have,” You croak but you refuse to coddle him with your tears, sway him with your emotions. 

For him to forgive you, you want him to make the decision himself. 

“And you’re the only Haechan I want…” You take a brief look at him, finding nothing to reassure you, “God…you’re the only one I want to see some mornings and that is something to me.” 

It’s silent, but you think it’s because you physically can’t hear anymore. Unable to focus on anything but him. He makes an action to check his phone. 

“Who told you I was leaving?” Haechan asked. 

“Chenle,” You admit quietly. 

“Huh….” Haechan smirks, turning his phone to you, revealing the words you want to give tribute to when you get caught for your crime of passion. Sent long before you got to Haechan’s apartment. 

I’ll get you your apology. 

You feel your stomach flip inside your body, the realisation catching up to you. 

“That fucking-” You make an attempt to snatch his phone before making the effort to storm back to Haechan’s apartment. 

You hear a snort of laughter before Haechan’s arms wrap around your waist to stop you, his warmth immediately calming you. He sees the way your muscles relax and the way you inhale him. 

“I for one am glad,” Haechan laughs, “…that was one good speech.” 

You exhale, turning away from his focus in embarrassment. 

“Thanks.” 

He rewards you with a smile that could cure all that’s wrong in the world. But doesn’t say anything else and although it slightly disappoints you and doesn’t do anything to reassure you, it’s enough for now. 

He gives you his phone, equipping you with the power to lay into Chenle through text, who is confused as to why Haechan is so fucking angry with him, before feeling smug when its made obvious that it’s not Haechan. 

But you. 

He sits you down, gives you a cup of steaming hot chocolate. You bring up the hot chocolate scene from Polar Express. He laughs. But doesn’t say much else. 

You talk and talk. 

He draws pictures on your exposed arm with his fingers, watching the way you squirm under his feather-like touch. Loves the way you giggle and continue talking. 

You’ve missed this. 

Him, most of all. 

And you don’t even need to remotely kiss to certify what you feel for him. 

And him? He hasn’t needed to for the longest time.

AND NOW, US

your best friend's best friend offers his services as you keep complaining about your lack of… sexual gratification.

Nakakaproud yung jowa q today kasi ang productive nya, even tho nagkatampuhan kami. I love her so much. Yeah, she did that because... and that's fine. I need to be gentle with her, she's new to my industry.

I love you, Arrean Jaie. I'll find you even if it costs me my life to find you in circles of the desert.

I am aware that this is A LOT of music and trust me I have way more than these few on my computer! I even have different versions of the same song. "Be Prepared" for example I have over twenty versions of this song from different languages, like Zulu, as well as a cover by Peyton Parrish. I do indeed also have the original English version. I even have Nightcore versions of songs on my computer. I have a bit of an obsession with music. It is my escape from the world when watching anime and reading fanfics/books/manga are not viable.

Sorry for taking up your time on this!
