Title: I’m Scared You Still Like Him
Author: Redeim
Rating: PG-13 for suggestions of smex ;)
Pairing: Past SeungRicrush!TaeYang, DaeRi, GDTOP, mentions of TaeYang/Lexy
Summary: DaeSung and SeungRi are a happy, if not… active… couple. TaeYang worries SeungRi is just replacing an unrequited crush.
Notes: I'm not too sure how much I like the ending... But if I leave it up to people to decide whether this will be chaptered or not... I'd never get it done. ^^; Therefore, I'm leaving this as a one-shot.
“OH MY GOD GUYS, THIS A DRESSING ROOM!” GDragon yelled, slamming the door to the bathroom shut, breaking up the young couple.
SeungRi and DaeSung came out of the bathroom, both a bit flushed at getting caught.
“Can’t you two keep your hands off each other for five seconds?” Their leader whined, throwing his hands into the air.
DaeSung smiled sheepishly as TaeYang and TOP grinned at the caught couple.
Back at home, the three sighed as SeungRi led DaeSung into the bathroom, the only room they could get privacy.
“You know… I’m thinking…” TaeYang started as he sat on the couch next to GDragon.
The younger man looked at him interestedly after watching the eldest move into the bedroom. “What is it?” He finally asked.
“How long after DaeSung admitted to SeungRi that he liked him did they start making out, among… other things?” The older members asked awkwardly.
“Like… Five minutes.” The leader replied with a shrug.
“Do you think SeungRi is just using DaeSung?” TaeYang slid down the couch, staring at the turned-off television.
“Like… for sex?” GDragon asked, glancing to the hallway.
“Think about it. Both of them are sexually repressed teens… DaeSung’s been lusting after SeungRi for who knows how long, and SeungRi has liked me since we pretty much started the band.”
“Well… It’s possible… But I would think they’d notice? At least DaeSung…”
“Possible denial? As I said, DaeSung’s been wanting SeungRi for who knows how long. He could be letting it go.” TaeYang thought aloud.
TOP came out of the room in sweat pants and a shirt with a sweater over it (his pajamas) and joined the two on the couch, sitting next to the leader, his lover.
“TOP and I have been going out since around the same time they have.”
“I don’t care what you’ve done, I get it.”
TOP looked at the two confused, deciding to remain quiet.
“But how long… No, I can’t even finish that.” TaeYang covered his mouth as if he’d be sick.
“A week.” GDragon replied nonchalantly.
“They only took not even a day.” TaeYang bit back, finally regaining composure.
The leader thought a moment. “It’s possible… I mean, you think TOP and I aren’t sex-” The leader was cut off by a hand over the mouth from the oldest.
“If he doesn’t want to know, don’t tell him.” TOP said shyly, blushing slightly.
“All I’m saying is this: I’m worried SeungRi doesn’t actually love DaeSung. I don’t want either of them to get hurt.”
“Bring it up, see what happens.”
“DaeSung?” TaeYang took a breath as he approached the younger man the next morning, who simple glanced up questioningly from his breakfast. The older of the two glanced around, looking for the youngest. His eyes rested on the magnae on the couch, having fallen asleep to some movie.
“Hyung?” DaeSung asked curiously after the older man didn’t say anything.
TaeYang shook his head slightly as if it would focus him. “There’s something I want you to consider carefully…” He started awkwardly.
DaeSung quirked his head, “Okay…”
“SeungRi is… He used to like me. You confessed to him, which is great, I’m glad you two are…” He made a face, trying to think of a word for the couple, “Happy…”
The younger of the two nodded, still curious where this conversation was going.
“But… you two became… sexual so fast…” TaeYang took a breath. “Did you ever consider SeungRi was using you as a sexual release?” He felt his stomach drop slightly as DaeSung’s features darkened, and the younger man looked more serious.
“Honestly? I did.” DaeSung replied, leaning back in his chair and eying his untouched cereal bowl. “But… if I let myself doubt him, how can I ever truly love him? I can’t keep in mind, ‘he’s liked you for two years, why would he like me?’ It doesn’t seem fair to him. Feelings can change.”
“What has he done for you?” TaeYang challenged. “That wasn’t sexual.”
DaeSung’s mouth turned into a soft smile. “What has he done? Hmm… Well, a couple days ago, he prepared dinner for me. I was late because of Cats, remember?”
TaeYang nodded, moving a chair so he could sit down.
“SeungRi had stayed up waiting for me, and then made me a really simple dinner. Even though it was ramen, I thought it was really nice that he knew I didn’t get the chance to eat and I would be tired, so he made food for me.”
TaeYang smiled, it was a nice gesture, and he had to admit, it was the little things that made him happy as well.
“Besides, who are you to talk, aren’t you and Lexy the same way?” DaeSung countered.
TaeYang let out a satirical laugh. “Sort of. You know, Lexy used to date Se7en… For a long time, I was worried she still liked him. I was worried about so many things, I let it overcome me. Did she think I was only a kid? How many boyfriends has she had before me? Did she still love any of them? Etc… It drove me crazy. But we talked it over, and I know she only loves me. But you’ve turned this conversation to me. What I’m trying to say is that I think if you have any doubts about SeungRi, you should talk to him about it, not ignore it. You’ll let yourself be overcome by questions and you’ll start to seriously affect the relationship.”
DaeSung nodded, “I’ll ask him about it then.” He told TaeYang confidently.
“SeungRi yah?” DaeSung spoke up later that day when the two were alone on the couch, cuddled up together and both feeling lethargic. Everyone else had gone to get groceries.
“Hmm?” The youngest replied.
“You love me, right?” The older one felt much less confident than he had that morning at the table.
“Of course I do.” SeungRi responded sleepily.
“You don’t love TaeYang anymore right?”
“… Nope.”
DaeSung couldn’t help but hate the simple, couple-seconds pause.
“Why do you ask all of the sudden?” The magnae looked up at his lover, big eyes watching him curiously.
“Just… Was wondering.” DaeSung replied, closing his eyes and feigning sleep.
He felt SeungRi shrug and cuddle into him more. He peeked down and saw the youngest asleep already.
Why would DaeSung ask that? SeungRi thought later on, glancing over to the older man on the other side of the dressing room, getting his make up done. His hair-stylist jerked his head back, frustrated, and he grinned at her sheepishly. He closed his eyes. What does he think I want from him? His eyes shot open and he turned his head suddenly, getting a hairbrush to the face. God DaeSung… I’m not using you! Is that you think? His head was jerked back again by the hair stylist, letting out an annoyed growl as she squished his face until he muttered a “Fine… sorry…” and slouched down a bit.
Before going on stage, SeungRi debating talking to DaeSung about it. “I don’t need to distract him…” He muttered under his breath, “Not before we go onstage.”
In the car, SeungRi looked to the three in the back before whispering to his lover next to him. “I love only you. I swear.” He smiled as DaeSung took a couple seconds to figure out where the phrase came from before smiling softly.
