Work Text:
I just moved into my new apartment. Right now I’m holding a luxurious bouquet of lilies and on the other hand fresh-baked cookies from the oven. Maybe it’s too cliche? - I ask myself while almost reaching out to click the doorbell. Finally I mastered my courage and did it.
Ring, ring!
How can I help you? - after a second in the door stands one head smaller (than me) guy. Pink hair. Small barrettes on it. He smiles gently at me. I smile back. Showing him presents in my hands.
You are…? - he hesitates if he should take it.
I’m your new neighbor. Nice to meet you. - I carefully place flowers into his palms and show him cookies.
They smell so good! What’s the flavor? - his eyes are sparkling.
It's vanilla extract. Should I go inside?
Sure. Make yourself at home. - he giggles and closes the door behind me.
How long are you living there? - I’m asking offering him a plate for a cookie.
It’s been almost 3 years. I love that location, it has everything. Behind this there is a park, an ideal place to chill, read a book. Then on the next street is a good coffee spot. Of course you also have a good connection to the center by subway.
It seems you enjoy this place so much. As you mentioned, surroundings play a big role here.
Totally. Plus I just met you and you seem too nice. Giving me self-made cookies? Is this heaven?! - he covered his mouth by hand as he started laughing cutely.
I’m also pleased to meet you. Can I know your name? - I wipe my hands on the wet tissue and blink twice.
Yushi. I was born in 2004.
Sion and I were born in 2002. Wait, I am your hyung then. - I assume and he nods his head.
Hyung, do you have free time today? - he observes me waiting for my answer.
Actually, yes. No plans, I'm just unemployed for now.
Do you want to stay here with me? - he lowers his voice.
I like it.
We both laugh and finish the last pieces of cookies. It’s 2 pm and suddenly I’m sleepy. I look at Yushi and he checks his phone but when he sees me he smiles roundly and turns his head to me.
I wish I had a dog so we could both play with him right now. - he says while scratching his pink hair.
But Yushi, what do you usually do here? - I focus my sight on him.
Let me think… I only have a few hobbies. One of them is reading. Do you have a favorite genre? - he stands and starts fumbling between books shelves. I quickly join him, interested in what type of books he collects. I see a lot of romance novels, even a collection of poems, besides there are some theaters too.
You know a ball. - I whisper to him while he squats down to look for some more books.
I think you might like this book. It’s not that I know your taste but it is one of my favs. - his smile creates cat whiskers on his face. I can’t stand his cuteness.
Do you know how cute you are? - I take a book and sit on the sofa. Unaware of his possible reaction from my question. He just stands in the same place. He does not move. He flinches and then joins me and sits very close to me. I have a feeling his feets are touching mine but it’s only an illusion.
Sion hyung - he moves his hand over my hair. - I’m attracted to you. - he says while removing a book from my hands. I sit still, not blinking. It’s hard for me to breathe. I’m amazed by what he is doing.
Yushi I just called you cute, but–
Say no more… - he leans and goes for a kiss. I place a hand onto his mouth.
Are you sure about it? - I ask him, holding his hand. He moves closer and caresses my face gently. I can feel the delicateness of his fingers spreading to my hair, eyes, ears. It’s heaven. I’m in heaven. I can be loved by him. I want to be loved by him.
Kiss me now if you dare. - I whisper again, locking my eyes on his plump, cherry lips.
You don’t need to ask me twice. - he devours me in one second after I say that. It’s a feeling of wanting him or the hole I was holding in my soul for too long. No one ever kissed me before. No one was interested in being my lover. Suddenly someone this cute, gentle and adorable chose me. Is it illegal? Is it illegal to kiss your new neighbor you just met? What if I never moved here? What if I never rang a bell next to his door? What would happen? Probably nothing. It's probable I would still be single. My days would be the same grey color.
Sion, can we move onto the couch? Or is it too fast for you? - he stops and our tongues slip away.
I need a second to breathe properly.
Sure. - he sits and massages my temple.
I think I’m dreaming and you are my angel.
Being an angel is a demanding job for sure. - he frowns and kisses me on the forehead.
Can I come over anytime?
You are more than welcome there. You are now my lover.
What a cutie! - I gasp out loud as I’m starting to kiss him.
