Title: Apocalypse
Author: thevignette/inlightof
Word count: 255
Concrit?: Sure
Pairing: Junsu/Changmin



There's a wall in Changmin's apartment that has a fissure crawling down from where it meets the ceiling, extending like capillaries, rivers on a map. Changmin stares at it every morning, and wonders about two things: one, if the narrow cracks are some kind of code and the lines that spider across the wall are something he should understand; and two, how long it'll take before the wall disintegrates, crumbles, falls apart entirely.

"You should do something about that," Junsu tells Changmin, looking decidedly uneasy as his gaze rakes over the cracks on the wall. "It looks like it's going to come down any moment."

Changmin has a lover. His name is Junsu, and he has the most beautiful smile Changmin has ever seen. They met seven months ago, when Changmin helped him to string Christmas lights on a Christmas tree for a party he wasn't invited to. Changmin meets Junsu every morning, sinks into his touch and kisses, and wonders about two things: one, what is it that Junsu sees in him; and two, how long it'll take before Junsu leaves him for someone else.

Changmin thinks that what Junsu sees in the cracks on his wall is completely different from what he sees. He wonders if what Junsu sees is the methodical, systematic breaking of a heart.
