Tossing, turning. Luhan’s mind was racing. He had previously tried to occupy his mind with Weibo to quickly be bored. Nothing caught his eye, basically the same news over and over again. He had been tossing and turning because SM had told him about their upcoming comeback there would be a drama involved and he, next to Kai, would be one of the leads. He felt as though he was not that well-equipped for it.
All he wanted to do was sleep, cursing at himself softly, begging for his mind to shut up. He was on the verge of crying.
Eventually, defeated, he got up quietly not to wake his sleeping roommate, Yixing. The dorm was dead silent besides Luhan’s feet shuffling against the carpet and extremely dark besides the overhead stove light. But soon the silence was interrupted by Luhan tripping on something he wasn’t sure what, but he hit the ground with a loud thud. He panicked for a moment, afraid to awaken the four other sleeping boys he just stayed still as he could.
After a minute with no noise, he got up, brushed himself off and headed to his original destination, the kitchen. He put some water in the electric kettle and got his cup and soon enough the water was boiling. He dropped the tea bag in before pouring the boiling water into the cup and letting the tea bag soak.
While waiting, he got a feeling, a feeling of someone watching him. When he turned around, he saw a very sleepy Yixing standing there looking dazed and confused at what Luhan was doing At 3:00 am, he jumped and screamed a bit before covering his mouth. “Yixing don't sneak up like that…” He sighed, Yixing just awkwardly glanced around “I woke up and didn't see you…and I heard you in here.” Luhan nodded “can't sleep… Too nervous…” Yixing cocked his head “about what?” Luhan sighed“ The drama..” Luhan looked back at the tea for a second. Yixing smiled,“ Lu… you’ll be perfect, don't worry.” Lu looked back at him smiling, shaking his head a bit. “Thank you, Xing.” Yixing walked over and rested his head on Lu’s shoulder, wrapping his arms around him, closing his eyes. Luhan just enjoyed the warmth and silence.
Luhan eventually lifted the teabag and looked back the best he could at Yixing, smiling. “ I have to throw this away, is that okay?” Yixing opened his eyes for a second before clinging on a bit tighter, closing his eyes again. This action made Luhan sigh softly but couldn’t help crack a smile before he dragged the two people to the trash can, throwing away the tea bag before heading back over, enjoying the warmth and silence once more.
Luhan eventually broke the silence.“ Do you think it would be more comfy to go into the living room?” His voice was gentle. Yixing cracked open his eyes again, nodding. “Yeah, don't forget your tea.” Yixing replied before removing his arms from Luhan’s waist. Luhan giggled and grabbed his tea before they headed into the living room Luhan set his tea on the coffee table. The second Lu sat down, Yixing clung onto him once again. Luhan wrapped the blanket around them, resting his hand on Xing’s.
Lu faded in and out of sleep, occasionally waking up to Yixing kissing his head, but eventually fully falling asleep.
Maybe the remedy he needed was Xing all along.
