Summary: Yesung meets Ryeowook and Heechul introduces himself to Kyuhyun
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction
A/N Carriers are males capable of having (carrying) children. 1 in 3 men are carriers and are accepted fully in society. Due to this, homophobia is virtually non-existent.
Introductions
Yesung yawned as he shut the cabin door behind himself. He couldn't believe that they were actually here. They were on the Titanic. All because Kyuhyun got lucky in a game of cards. Still, that was their life. Kyuhyun was the dreamer and the game player, while Yesung was the more practical one, who saved their money and made the plans. This trip was an example of that. Kyuhyun thought they'd get to America and everything would work out. He didn't know that Yesung was in contact with Zhou Mi and his husband Henry, friends of theirs who had traveled to America the year before. Together, they were organizing jobs and places to live for Kyuhyun and Yesung. The man had to laugh to himself. Yesung hated to think what would happen to Kyuhyun without him. He was taken out of his musings when he bumped into someone in the hallway.
"Oh God, I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
"No, it was my fault too. Were you rushing somewhere?"
Yesung's words stopped in his throat as he saw the other man. Smaller than himself, with cupid bow lips and friendly eyes, the man was gorgeous.
"Um, do you work on the ship?"
"Oh no. I work for a family in First Class. Lee Jinki and Kibum. Do you know them?"
Yesung knew of them. They owned a chain of department stores in Europe and wanted to open one in New York. They were considered to be one of the richest families in the continent.
"Can't say I know them personally. I'm Yesung."
"Ryeowook. So, are you a passenger down here?"
"Yes, me and my friend are going to America to start afresh. He's an artist and I'm a music teacher."
"Wow, you play instruments?"
"Piano and guitar. What about you?"
"Oh no. But I sing."
"That's great. Hey, we should get together sometime, put on a show."
"That sounds great."
Yesung noticed the shirt in Ryeowook's hands.
"You going to change?"
Ryeowook groaned as he looked at the shirt.
"Crap, this belong's to Jinki. I have to get it to him. Pity, I was enjoying myself."
"Well, I have an idea. You get breaks, yeah? On the next break, meet me on deck at Lifeboat 16."
"Great. I have a break at 3."
"See you then."
As Ryeowook walked off, Yesung couldn't help himself from staring at the servant's ass. This was going to be a very nice trip.

Kyuhyun continued to draw after Sungmin left for his room. Now, he was drawing a young boy playing with a ball on the deck. He was interrupted when a shadow fell over his sketchbook.
"Cho Kyuhyun?"
"Yes. Can I help you?"
He looked up at the other man. Sharp, bright eyes, long, dark hair, pale skin and gemstones glittering on his fingers and at his throat gave the man a regal air. This, combined with his expensive clothes that accentuated his lean frame, told Kyuhyun this was a First Class passenger. To top it off, he gave the impression he was too good to speak with you, but he'd let you have the pleasure of his company anyway.
"See, I told you this was the right man Siwon. Honestly, you and Geng need to listen to me more often."
"Yes Heechul."
Kyuhyun sent a questioning gaze to the servant, Siwon, receiving a sympathetic glance in return.
"Anyway, I'm Han Heechul."
Now, Kyuhyun was scared. Heechul was known for being beautiful, as well as whip smart and able to bring you to your knees with one sentence. He and his husband co-owned the most successful jewellery store in Europe and one of the most successful precious metal importers in the continent.
"How can I help you?"
"I saw you with Sungmin yesterday Kyuhyun."
"And?"
"And in the three days we've been on this ship, that was the first time I saw him happy. And it was with you, not his fiancee."
Kyuhyun was confused. Why was Heechul telling him this?"
"So what?"
"Honey, if I saw it, chances are so will someone else."
"I never thought of that."
"Clearly. What do you think Siwon? Navy and green? Close cut, three piece?"
As Siwon nodded along with whatever Heechul was saying, Kyuhyun found himself even more confused. What the hell was this man doing? He was interrupted from his musings by Heechul snapping his fingers in front of his face.
"Hey, pay attention to me! I'm trying to help you here."
"Help me?"
"Yes. Listen, I think with a bit of help, you might be able to pass off as a First Class passenger. Then, you can spend more time with Sungmin with no sneaking around."
"Ok, and Sungmin's fiancee?"
"I'll ask Geng and Jinki to distract him and the other husbands, while Kibum and I distract the wives and carriers. Then you two can sneak off and do whatever."
Kyuhyun and Siwon both blushed as the wording and hand gestures used by Heechul.
"Why are you helping me?"
"I don't like Dong-Wook. I don't like how he treats Sungmin or how he looks at me like I'm a piece of meat. Guys a dick."
Sungmin laughed to himself. If Heechul's mother heard this language.
"Kyuhyun, come to our rooms tonight in First Class. Siwon will tell you the directions. My husband's clothes will fit you. We can let them out a bit. Together Kyuhyun, we'll make a respectable man out of you. 6 pm, be there."
Siwon wrote down the room number in Kyuhyun's sketchpad and followed Heechul back into the First Class deck. Kyuhyun still wasn't sure what just happened. Heechul was.....overwhelming to say the least. But if he could give Kyuhyun a chance of being with Sungmin, Kyuhyun would do whatever the other man wanted. Anything for a chance.
A/N Done. R&R please. Just so everyone knows, I see Heechul as a Molly Brown character. Next chapter, Kangin and Leeteuk have a moment and Yesung and Kyuhyun talk about their men.
