Summary: Minho has trouble waking up; having the same recurrent dream of his faceless lover. For shawol_haven challenge 006.
He wrapped his arms around the other person; his heart surging and practically bursting from the powerful feelings of love. He'd never felt such sensations before.
Suddenly, he felt someone shake his shoulder harshly and impatiently.
No, not again.
"Minho-ah, wake up!" the fairly shrill voice cut through his dream and try as hard as he may, he couldn't fall back into sleep state.
He seemed to hear a faint 'see you again' before he cracked an eye open to see a dark haired figure leaning over him.
"Kibum, I hate you." he murmured, covering his eyes with a hand.
"I hate you more; you're scaring me. I've been trying to wake you for the last 20 minutes. I swear you're practically comatose." Kibum hissed.
Minho sat up tiredly and leaned against the headboard.
"Can I suggest you leave me alone then next time?" It wasn't meant to be rude; but his roommate had interrupted his dream for almost a whole week and he had been that close to...
"Is it the same dream again?" Kibum asked worriedly.
Drat, he should never have told the older boy about the dream. He nodded slightly, running a hand through his messy hair.
"I was so close to seeing his face."
And telling him that i loved him.
It was a little weird telling a stranger in a dream you loved him; but he'd had the same recurrent dream for close to two weeks and it featured the same person- a young male- whose face he never got to see. Yet, Minho clearly knew how his heart felt towards him. There was that indescribable feeling of affection that he'd never felt anywhere before. It was so strong he found himself sleeping earlier and more just in hopes of meeting him.
"There's going to be no more of that, I made an appointment with a sleep therapist for you. We're going today. Your sleep patterns are ridiculous and unhealthy." Kibum announced firmly.
Minho wanted to object but he knew Kibum was being rational. He was right; the amount he was sleeping was detrimental to his health.
"Besides, Jjong's bringing his boyfriend's brother there too. I heard he's been having sleep issues too." Key mused and Minho thought he heard him mumbling about 'kids and their sleeping habits nowadays' as he left the room.
"Where the heck are they? We're going to be late for the appointment!" grumbled Kibum as they sat inside the cafe, waiting for the pair.
Minho kept silent; wordlessly sipping on his black coffee- stupid thing was barely keeping him awake. He wondered he was suffering from narcolepsy or something.
"Sorry we're late!” He heard Jonghyun's voice suddenly. He looked up and immediately felt himself completely awaken at the sight of the person standing next to Jonghyun.
It was him! The one in his dream.
They locked eyes, both pairs wide in surprise. The boy stared at him, faint dark circles under his eyes.
"Sorry. Jinki and I were desperately trying to wake him this morning, but he just refused to get up." Jonghyun apologized and Kibum just shook his head.
"This is Taemin, by the way." he introduced, still oblivious to how the youngest two were looking at each other.
Minho stood up, feeling more awake than ever, yet his heart having the same deep, surging adoration and longing exactly like in his dream.
Did this Taemin feel the same way?
The younger boy had a small, shy smile on his face but kept his eyes on Minho. Instead of a handshake, Minho walked forward and wrapped his arms around him; enveloping him in a tight hug, earning twin gasps from Jonghyun and Kibum.
"It's nice to finally meet you."
