Work Text:
Today I thought of you for the first time in years. Did you see how much our old emails contaminate? I'm sure you did, you always cared. I figured photos are the same so I decided I would delete some things from the cloud too.
I saw our pics, your smile next to mine, I'd forgotten how you looked, only remembered you as a bunny caricature, the memory of who we used to be.
Taeyong invited all of his friends on a trip to the beach, it was his birthday and he wanted to celebrate it with the people he loved.
"Move! Im his bestfriend I own his right side" Doyoung tells one of their friends, Taeyong watches him and smiles to himself "since when, May I know?" They all laugh.
"Since we met!" Doyoung reached him, wraped his arms around his waist and nuzzled his neck.
I found some screenshots too, either of stories where we jokingly called the other 'my hubby' or random conversations that we had that seemed important at the moment.
Doyoung is too into the movie to notice whats going on beside him. A sob startles him and he sees Taeyong's face completely wet, he runs to find a kleenex in his bag and hugs him "hey, baby listen to me, are you okay? Look at me, it's just a movie okay?" Taeyong looks at him and more tears fall from his eyes "They were about to die! And now Andy is leaving!" Doyoung scofs a little "I cant believe youre crying over Toy Story" The older looks at him with a little smile on his face "I cant believe youre so mean to me, your hyung"

Taeyong, still in his outside clothes and on top of his bed, looks at the new text he got from Doyoung, his best friend.
"The moment we finish our majors we move to the us where we'll live in fear of speaking our language in public but at least we'll be free gays" Taeyong read the message again and again, he giggled a little bit and wrote a reply while swinging his feet.
"I would bear racist and xenophobic people if that means I can be with you with no pressures"
I never got to tell you this but I used to daydream of the future, where I would come back home from work and would see your gummy smile, we would hug and I'd caress your raven straight hair, then we'd cook and talk about our day.
Other times i would dream about us having children, raising them so they would be kind, open minded and overall good people, sometimes they looked just like you, sometimes like a mixture of the two of us.
"Why cant we be together, if the both of us love each other why cant we be together?" Taeyong looks desperately into Doyoung's eyes.
"You won't ever understand, I already told you, my dad is a military man! Hes homophobic to the core, my mother too! I cannot risk it!" Doyoung was shaking and his hair that was always tidy looked like a bird nest.
"But they like me, I've been to your house so many times, c'mon I-"
"No, stop right there, you have been to my house as a friend only, you act so straight when you go to my house too, you don't know my parents the way I do, stop trying to make things so difficult"
Taeyong looks at his phone and all the memories in there, he closes his eyes and lets a lonely tear run his cheek.
