❝ are you ready to talk love? ❞
𔓘   warning   𔘓   hints of stress

     CONDENSATION CLUNG tightly onto the slightly ajar window, the stainless glass collected the delicate droplets of water, the rain was softly drowned out by the movie displayed upon the blinding screen, the sheets next to the lonesome male were empty, bitter and a reminder that his boyfriend had deserted him for work once again ── Although the adorably cute photos from his (not so secret) secret spy Liu Yangyang had filled the growing hole within his heart, Kun looked so happy helping Winwin with the parts he struggled with, the melody stuck within m/n head, he knew the words by heart.

     He had since Kun snuck the demo home for him to listen to.

     Kun was gone before m/n awoke, it had been like that for the last handful of weeks, the boys were working towards an arguably huge comeback, it had been almost a year and a half since their last, so everyone was working triple the amount of what they normally did, they wanted to comeback with a bang, they wanted it to be better than the last, so they practically threw themselves into the deep end and worked like they had never worked before, it was quite admirable to see ── Most nights m/n would normally stay up late trying to wait for him to come home, just so they could spend a sliver of time together, however Kun soon put a stop to it, when he found out that m/n had started to develop an unhealthy sleep schedule.

     Though the kind act was enough to make him fall even more in love with m/n all over again.

     Heaving a heavy sigh m/n glanced at the ticking clock hanging upon the off white wall to the right of the king sized bed, he finally noticed that it was well past eleven, a part of him stupidly hoped that Kun might have came home early since their manger had granted them a weekend break, giving them chance to recharge before discussing their upcoming schedule on Monday morning before jumping into the countdown to their big day, the only times he really had the chance to spend with any of the members was when Hendery and Yangyang were working on their dive projects ── m/n had lost hope in his wishes of seeing Kun and decided he would cave under the pressure of his heavy feeling eyes.

     TENDER TOUCHES STIRRED the male awake, still half asleep the male whined slightly pushing away the hand from his side, however realising that the mattresses was starting to feel lighter, m/n quickly reached for the body part that was attempting to bring his attention back around, he felt a set of fingers, he took no second thought in grabbing them pulling the person back to the position they were originally in, the more his brain switched on the quicker his senses came back to life, none of the members came into the dorm rooms at night, so he figured the male in question was Kun ── m/n finally allowed his eyelids to flutter open, his balled up fist firmly rubbed his eyes, his focus had lead him to make strong eye contact with his lover, panic coursed through his veins, he had never sat up so quickly in his life.

     Kun was crying.

     "Love, what happened? are you okay?" m/n questioned, though he didn't dare to touch to other until he knew he was comfortable with the contact, he watched as Kun harshly dragged the palms of his veiny hands roughly down his face trying to kill the free flowing tears, m/n took a small risk and held onto his lover's wrists making sure Kun couldn't do it again, not wanting him to risk hurting his face in the process.

     "Can you hold me please?" Kun weakly questioned, m/n needed no more reasoning to delicately pull Kun onto his lap, holding onto him as if his entire life depended on it, Kun rested his head against m/n shoulder nuzzling his face deeper into the crook of his neck, the Chinese male clung to him feeling the stress drain from his body, the moment he felt the familiar warmth of his boyfriend ── The comforting silence felt like it lasted a lifetime even though it must have been no longer than an hour, Kun finally had the courage to peek at his lover's eyes, m/n happily looked down at him with love resting in his, there was no judgement or pressure, all they held was tenderness, it helped Kun to feel safe.

     "Are you ready to talk, love?" m/n softly questioned, squeezing the male slightly, the brunette shook his head, within this peaceful, loving moment all Kun wanted was to be held whilst he listened to his lover's day, about the picture he took of the two dogs he almost brought to the dorm ── And he would have adopted in a second but the cat dads were ready to migrate their babies into the door one by one and m/n didn't want to stress the cats out.

     "I just want to listen about your day, just let me hear your voice" Kun almost pleaded, that was enough for him to feel halve way better.

     "Hmm, where to start? I am a very busy man, Qian Kun" M/n teased, faking a thinking expression, Kun lightly chuckled, the unserious nature of m/n had given him a sense of comfort, it was something positive in the black hole of negativity that suffocated him.

     M/n had taken distracting his beautiful boyfriend a little too seriously, he explained in depth and full detail about every aspect of his day keeping it as light-hearted as he possibly could, by the time he reached the end of the tiring day, Kun had fallen asleep, a tender smile resting against his plumb lips, head on m/n' chest, breath smooth and gentle, he looked at peace with the world.

     "I love you, Kun" M/n kissing the top of his head.
