Work Text:
Chanyeol bit his thumb, looking down at his phone held in his free hand as he walked back and forth in front of his friend. You could say he was mildly freaking out.
“Just sit down,” Kyungsoo spoke, eyes still trained on his own phone as he typed away a text to probably his boyfriend of five years. “Besides, I didn't get a good look at them.”
“Yeah, but what if it was them?” Chanyeol snapped back, nibbling on his nails and looking down at Kyungsoo with wide eyes, “what if they’re dating again?”
“Chanyeol.” Kyungsoo finally looked up at Chanyeol, his face shown of disbelief of what his friend was saying, “One, stop freaking out, okay? Two, I couldn't see them clearly so it’s probably not even him.”
“But what if it is,” Chanyeol whined, sinking down beside Kyungsoo and circling his hands around his friend's waist while Kyungsoo went back to texting his lover.
“Then ask him.”
“But - ”
“But nothing, Yeol,” Kyungsoo interjected, along with a sigh, “plus, I doubt Baekhyun would go back to dating his ex.”
Chanyeol stayed quiet, looking down at his carpet in thought. Baekhyun didn’t seem as if he was hungover his past lover. He was his usual self as always, goofing around with Chanyeol with hints of flirting mixed in between. Chanyeol believed that they had mutual feelings, but was always too afraid to confirm if his guesses were true.
“Jongin is waiting for me,” Kyungsoo spoke up, standing up from the couch and forcing Chanyeol to release him, “I’ve got to head out now.”
Chanyeol groaned, laying down on his side and pulling on Kyungsoo’s free hand. “Can’t you stay and help me figure out how to get Baek to like me back?”
“Chanyeol.” Kyungsoo signed, quickly checking his phone and looking back at the man who looked like a kicked puppy. “Just text him, okay? I really need to get going now.”
Chanyeol hummed, giving up and waving goodbye to his friend before turning his attention back to his phone. All the members would tease the two of acting like a couple, as well as their fandom. They would catch the stares from Baekhyun that Chanyeol couldn't, all the shy smiles he had somehow missed. Maybe Kyungsoo was right. Maybe texting Baekhyun wouldn’t hurt.

Chanyeol blinked down at his phone. Baekhyun was coming over and he was going to kiss him. Scrambling to his feet, Chanyeol looked around his lounge for something to do while he freaked out just a little bit. He was finally going to kiss his longtime crush and Chanyeol couldn’t believe it was that easy. Baekhyun liked him all this time while Chanyeol was freaking over the fact that he might’ve still had feelings for his past partner.
Once Chanyeol felt his place wasn’t too messy (though Baekhyun has seen his dirty apartment before), the doorbell had rung. Chanyeol ran towards it, stopping in front of it to take a deep breath before twisting the knob open.
Before Chanyeol could even say a shy hello, Baekhyun had launched himself onto Chanyeol with a tight hug and a kiss on the lips which made Chanyeol’s legs turn into jelly. They locked lips and moved in unison like they have been doing this since forever.
“H-Hi,” he says after Baekhyun had pulled away with a giggle. He was dressed in his casual attire of sweats and a white t-shirt which Chanyeol has seen many times, but Baekhyun still managed to look cute.
“Hi.”
“You look good,” Chanyeol decided to blurt out before blushing. He tried to hide it by looking away but knows it was too late.
“You do too,” Baekhyun says, stepping into Chanyeol’s once space again and wrapping him up in a hug.
Chanyeol felt warm in his embrace, so he hugged him back. Baekhyun was just the right height for him like they were two pieces of a puzzle, perfectly put together. He was perfect, they were perfect. “I like you a lot,” Chanyeol confesses.
“I know. I like you a lot too.”
Chanyeol never wanted to let go.
