Yunho stepped out of his room and attempted to twist his hips when he saw a familiar faded green mop of hair from the corner of his eye making its way to the kitchenette of their shared apartment, probably to wash something from his room. He padded stealthily behind the shorter man, his housemate Yeosang to the kitchenette. Yunho crouched when Yeosang stood in front of the sink, making himself smaller so as not to cast a shadow that Yeosang could notice due to the ceiling light behind them. When he was close enough to the younger, he reached out both arms and encircle them around Yeosang’s waist, resting his cheek on the younger’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but let out a giggle when he feel a small jump from the man in his arms.
“You’re home already?” Yunho asked, still holding the smaller man in a hug. Yunho also asked if their other roommate was home as well. Yeosang hummed to both questions and said that the manager was called back to the company and had left a while ago. Yeosang continued to rinse the soapy mugs and utensils and asked if Yunho had eaten.
Yunho snorted as he feels the younger moved his head in various directions in a cartoonish way, like he always does, probably to see if there are any cameras. “We’re at the dorms off-work, silly Yeosang.”
“You can never be too safe,” Yeosang said, pulling the gloves off his hands to inspect the inside. “I don’t want to be caught saying unnecessary things again.” Yunho laughed.
“So, I’m guessing, me keep holding you like this is unnecessary?” Yunho asked, but not loosening his hold in the slightest, in fact, he held Yeosang even closer and tighter.
“Your hugs are very nice, Yunho-yah. You should hug us more often,” Yeosang answered, after a long pause.
Yunho chortled at a memory from the same time. “Tell that to Jongho and Hongjoong-hyung. They hated it. Jongho didn’t even let me an inch near him.”
“Eng? But they’re always all over me, not as often as San, Wooyoung and Mingi though. I guess I’m just that fluffy.” Yeosang joked. “Wait no, I’m all muscles and fierceness.”
“You are very fluffy, Yeosang-ah,” Yunho said, nuzzling further into the shorter's back, he can feel Yeosang pouting as the man’s shoulder lowered slightly under his cheek. “Fluffy and sunshine on the outside, fierceness on the inside. Only when they get past all this woolly goodness, they’ll see how fierce and tough you are, especially on yourself.”
“Yunho?” Yeosang spoke after a while, and waited for Yunho to answer. “If I- If I can be honest? I needed that hug at that time. It’s the reason I was out there.”
“So, thank you.”
Yunho hummed. “As I said before, you can always lean on me. Or, like this, me leaning on you. That works too.”
Now it’s Yeosang’s turn to chuckle.
