Tao was homesick. Maybe it was because of the upcoming holidays or maybe it was because he was exhausted and just wanted to be able to relax. Nowadays, it seemed like he was constantly moving. From performances, to flights, to photoshoots, to recording, it never seemed to end. His only reprieve was playing with Candy and being able to go to his gege’s café. Of course, Tao loved being active. He had a lot of energy to burn, but he liked it when he could burn it how he wanted to. Whether it’s shopping, horse riding, or running around at night. Anything that made him feel somewhat normal and not like a made up, mechanical doll.
Sehun could probably sense Tao’s frustration. Tao would walk off stage and Sehun was automatically by his side, rubbing his hand up and down Tao’s back. Sehun’s presence was really the only thing that made the homesickness bearable. After their exhausting schedules, no matter where they were, Sehun would crawl into Tao’s bed and they would fall asleep in each other’s arms. To Tao, Sehun was like a second home. Whenever they were together, Tao felt loved and safe. He was able to be himself one hundred percent and relax. Really, being able to be with Sehun always made the exhausting schedules better.
It was after a performance, Tao was just getting out of the shower and drying his hair when he spotted Sehun sitting in the middle of Tao’s hotel bed, busy looking at Tao’s phone.
“Where’s Lay hyung?”
Sehun looked up briefly before going back to whatever he was doing on Tao’s phone, “He said he didn’t want to share a room with us, so he went to Xiumin hyung’s room.”
Tao rolled his eyes and made his way to the bed, sitting himself right behind Sehun so he could rest his chin on Sehun’s shoulder. “What are you doing?”
Sehun leaned back, forcing Tao to do the same, until he was resting against Tao’s chest before he replied, “Practicing my Chinese. I’m trying to figure out what all these settings are.”
Tao grinned and placed a kiss on top of Sehun’s head, watching Sehun scroll through his phone’s settings. Ever since their trip to his hometown for Chinese New Year, Sehun has been more actively trying to learn Tao’s native tongue. It was endearing, because he knew Sehun wanted to do this so he could have a proper conversation with Tao’s parents without Tao always translating. Sehun really had no real need to learn the language, because they didn’t work for a Chinese company. Yet here he was, trying his hardest to learn and it made Tao’s chest tighten with affection.
They sat in silence for a while, Tao resting his head on top of Sehun’s as Sehun moved from the phone’s settings to Instagram and Weibo. When Tao saw the Weibo app pop up however, he quickly made Sehun exit it. He didn’t want Sehun to practice Chinese by reading hate comments. In that instance, Tao was glad Sehun wasn’t fluent. He didn’t want Sehun to have to worry.
Eventually, Sehun got tired of studying and put Tao’s phone down in exchange for his own. He held it out far enough to take a selfie that included Tao, who was still in his bathrobe.
“I should put this on Instagram,” Sehun snickered.
Tao shook his head, hiding his smile in Sehun’s hair, “You know that wouldn’t be appropriate. Manager would yell at us.”
Tao could literally feel Sehun roll his eyes, “We uploaded that one selfie where we just got out of the shower together. What’s different about this one?”
Tao chuckled and leaned down to lay a kiss on the junction between Sehun’s neck and shoulder. “You know exactly what’s different about this, Hunnie. Now come on, let’s try to sleep.”
With a sigh, Sehun let Tao get up to get out of his bathrobe and slip on some boxers. Normally, he would sleep naked, but because this is a hotel and who knows when someone might burst in, Tao opted for the minimum amount of clothing. Sehun had already crawled under the covers when Tao got back to the bed. He was lying on his side, phone still in his hand, and Tao stood on the other side of the bed admiring his boyfriend’s body outlined by the thin sheet.
Sehun must have felt Tao staring, because he turned over just enough to raise a brow at Tao, “Are you going to lie down with me or are you going to just stand there and stare at me all night?”
Tao laughed, throwing his head back and staying in that position as if he was deep in thought, “Hmm, I don’t know. Staring at you all night sounds tempting.”
Before Tao could react, Sehun was pulling him down into bed making him squeal in surprise.
