Of Christmas and Cake~

“Hae, go to sleep already…” EunHyuk told the younger man tiredly.

The said man was sitting in front of the television. His eyes glued to the scene before him. His expression was full of curiosity and his mouth opened as he watched the drama playing on the TV, a proof that his mind was lost on whatever he was watching right now.

“Hae…” EunHyuk tried again but the other man was still ignoring him, or he didn’t even hear him. He couldn’t see what so interesting about the drama. Right now, all he could see was the female main character was busy preparing her wedding or such, EunHyuk didn’t really pay attention to it.

“Fine, don’t come crying at me when you’re dead tired at work tomorrow.” EunHyuk crossed his arms, watching the back of his lover’s head that wasn’t moving even an inch from the screen.

A small mumble about a day off tomorrow was the short answer from his still wide awake boyfriend.

EunHyuk want to bang his head to the wall when he heard the answer. He pouted. The dancer just wanted to take good care of his lover so he didn’t get sick but DongHae was not cooperating with him. He looked again at the other dancer’s back. DongHae was still ignoring him for that stupid device called television! See if he cared about the other again! EunHyuk went to his room and threw the blanket over his thin body.

**

When he woke up, EunHyuk felt something unusual. There was no arms wrapped around him like a koala, there’s also no soft snore from the must-be-sleepy DongHae. He was completely alone in his bed. He frowned. That didn’t sound right.

With a swift move, he threw the blanket away and got up. He shivered when his feet touch the cold tiles. “Damn, it’s cold.” He rubbed his arms, attempting to create some warmth.

Quietly, he opened the door. There was no sound coming from outside. It was eerily quiet. He walked to the living room and found it empty. The blanket that DongHae used the night before while watching was still there on the couch. It looked like the other had gone back to his dorm.

Sighing, EunHyuk sat on the couch and covered himself with the blanket. He yawned and closed his eyes again. It was still early in the morning and it was their day off after all. He deserved some good rest.

**

One or two hours later, when EunHyuk woke up again, there was a familiar weight on his shoulder. He glanced at his side and sure enough, his missing lover rested his head on EunHyuk’s shoulder happily, swinging his leg back and forth like a little kid while mumbling ‘Hyukkie’ over and over.

“What?” EunHyuk asked sleepily. DongHae was unusually smelled like flour and strawberries.

“Hyukkie! You’re awake?!” The younger man jumped up from his seat with a big grin on his face. “Merry Christmas!!!“ he hugged EunHyuk tightly. “All the people in your dorm are so lazy~ It’s already noon but no one had awake. It’s Christmas for Godsake!!! Everyone is getting old already!” He complained while pulling EunHyuk up.

“And people on your dorm are already awake?” The older man asked sleepily.

DongHae bit his lips. “Well, HeeChul hyung got out from his room, yelled at me, and practically threw me here before he went back and locked the door to our dorm.” He pouted. “Can you believe that? I couldn’t even go back to my room until Teukie hyung awake!”

EunHyuk snorted. “What did you do to wake him up? and why are you pulling me up?” By now, the dancer was fully awake and wondered why his lover pulled him up when usually he liked being lazy with him on the couch.

“There are presents under the Christmas tree! Let’s check it out!” The younger man pointed at the colorful box lying untouched under the tree.

“Err…Hae, that’s fake. SungMin hyung and RyeoWook made it last night, remember? They said that it didn’t feel right if there’s no present there.” EunHyuk shook his head. Sometimes, DongHae could be really forgetful.

The other boy frowned. “So there’s no present for me?” he looked down at the fake presents with sad puppy eyes.

Seeing the look on DongHae’s face, EunHyuk hit the younger boy’s head lightly. “Don’t be silly, I’m sure the other members will give you presents when they awake later. Beside I have a present for you.” He lowered his voice at the last sentence, feeling embarrassed.

DongHae brightened up in an instant and leaned to his thoughtful lover, nuzzling his head to his shoulder. EunHyuk’s hand reaching out to ruffle DongHae’s hair but DongHae already moved away from him, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Wait here, Hyukkie!” He commanded before ran to the direction of the kitchen.

EunHyuk sighed and lie back against the floor. He looked up when his lover ran back and glared at him. “Stay here!” DongHae said with a stern voice and before EunHyuk could say anything, DongHae already ran again.

Sighing, the rapper closed his eyes in bliss. The small sound of Christmas music from the Christmas tree’s lamp made him felt at peace. He could hear the faint sound of his fishy’s footsteps, signaling that the other had come back to the living room but he didn’t open his eyes.

“Hyukkie?”

He could feel DongHae poked him, making him squirm a little. “Hmm?”

“Open your mouth.”

“Wha-“ EunHyuk opened his eyes and raised his body but before he could even sat up, DongHae had put something soft inside his mouth and covered it with his equally soft lips. Surprised, he almost choked on the sweet thing DongHae forced into his mouth. He pushed DongHae away and coughed.

He turned his face to find a happy grin plastered on his lover’s face. On the corner of his lips there was trace of whipped cream but DongHae didn’t seem to realize this as he watched EunHyuk with sparkling eyes.

Licking his own lips, EunHyuk tasted something sweet. “What were you doing?” He asked.

“Sharing a piece of cake with you, what else?” He showed his older lover a plate of strawberry cake he just brought out from the refrigerator. “Let’s do it again!” he said excitedly, ready to jump EunHyuk again but the other dancer quickly held him down.

“Calm down~ Why the sudden urge anyway?”

DongHae laughed. “I saw the Kim couple shared cake at their wedding on yesterday’s drama! It looked fun so I tried to make cakes all night along!” he explained in one breath.

“So…this cake is actually yours?” EunHyuk eyed the delicious looking cake.

At that question, DongHae put the plate on the floor and folded his arms to chest, jutting his lower lip. “No, it’s HanKyung hyung’s. Mine was ended up on the trash. Why? You don’t like it?” he glared at his lover, daring him to say anything.

DongHae would look more threatening if not for the whipped cream still lingering on the corner of his lips. Instead of terrified by DongHae, EunHyuk giggled. He poked at Donghae’s panda eyes.

“I’m glad it’s Hankyung hyung’s cake so I can do this...” He whispered and before DongHae could yell and hit him, the older one leaned forward to lick the tempting cream on the corner of his lover’s mouth. Slowly, he moved his lips to DongHae’s lips and licked it also.

“Merry Christmas.”
