Chapter Text
Chanyeol walked into Kyungsoo's room in the middle of the night feeling a little sad and honestly just needed a hug. It had been a long day and he didn’t even want to think about everything that had happened but he also didn’t want to be alone that night. He knows better than to wake him up, but desperate times call for desperate measures, so he sits at the edge of the bed, and holds Kyungsoo's hand in his, stroking the back of it with his thumb until the other becomes aware of his presence. He knew how much Kyungsoo hated to be woken up rudely so he was trying his best to make this as pleasant as possible. He really didn’t want to be kicked out tonight.
Kyungsoo didn’t speak, but he looked at Chanyeol with a questioning gaze, still drowsy and more than half asleep. “I just need a hug,” Chanyeol explains, and Kyungsoo pulls back the covers to let him in. Chanyeol’s arms tighten around him, and the warmth of Kyungsoo's bed brings tears into his eyes again. He cries quietly into Kyungsoo's chest, while the other ran his fingers through his hair. It felt nice to be held like that.
“Can I sleep here?” Chanyeol whispers, eyes wet and nose a little red. Kyungsoo hums, wiping his thumb across Chanyeol’s cheeks, where the tears were starting to dry. They don’t talk about it, but Kyungsoo knows all Chanyeol needs right now is a good cuddle session and some head petting. Maybe even some kisses later when he’s a bit more awake.
When Chanyeol’s breathing starts to even out, Kyungsoo thinks he had fallen asleep, but Chanyeol tucks his face into the side of his neck and kisses him there. He kisses along his neck and down to his shoulders. Their faces were only inches apart, and Chanyeol places another kiss on his cheek. As he was about to move away, Kyungsoo slides his nose up against Chanyeol’s, eyes closed as he inhales. When he opens his eyes, they are both smiling at each other. Chanyeol kisses him on the lips.
Chanyeol falls asleep a few minutes after, emotions swirling around in his heart. Being upset is both mentally and physically exhausting after all. He wakes up again later, thinking everything that happened was all part of a dream, but he feels the breath on the side of his neck and the arm wrapped around his waist, and he settles back down against him. Chanyeol looks at the boy next to him with so much love he’s almost glad the other isn’t awake to see it. Kyungsoo always takes care of him. He knows exactly what he needs and when he needs it, and today was no exception.
