Summary: It's been a long day, and Eric needs his safety blanket.
He didn't realize he'd knocked until his hand paused mid air just before he can repeat the motion. Hyesung doesn't look surprised to see him, and Eric notices somewhere in the back of his mind that the brunette is dressed to go out.
Hyesung doesn't say anything. He just steps back and opens to the door wider to let Eric in. "There's food in the fridge, leftover chicken alfredo." He follows Eric into the guest room, going around him as the leader undresses, to get out clean clothes from the dresser. "Go to sleep. I'll be back in a few hours."
Eric stands in front of the bed in his boxers, staring at his bare toes and wiggling them in the softness of the carpet.
Hyesung touches his shoulder, and Eric sits obediently on the edge of the bed. The brunette lifts one of Eric's legs and slips it into the lose grandpa style pants and then the other. Eric stands, and Hyesung pulls them up long legs to rest comfortably on his hips. His fingers splayed, he caresses the skin just above his waistband. "There's ice cream and waffles in the freezer."
Eric stares down at him. His face reveals nothing of the usual expressiveness he holds in public. He leans down enough to brush his lips against Hyesung's and pulls away only long enough to see the familiar flush of the singers cheeks before he's kissing him again.
Hyesung pulls away reluctantly, his lips wet and tongue tingling from Eric'a bite. "I have to go."
Eric nuzzles the side of his face. The image of an overgrown puppy sneaks into Hyesung's mind and he smiles.
"I have to go, or you won't sleep." Hyesung runs a finger over Eric's cheek. His finger is spelling out the characters for love. He knows Eric is too tired to think, and his leans up to plant a kiss on Eric's lips.
Eric turns and crawls across the bed, slipping under the blankets when he reaches the headboard.
Hyesung takes the pillows from the couch in the corner of the room and helps Eric arrange them to his liking until the leader is surrounded and aafe from the danger of moving and rolling of the bed.
He leaves the room as quietly as he can, and shuts the door behind him. As much as he'd like to stay with Eric, he knows the other needs his space. He needs sleep most of all, and he won't achieve the peace of mind he needs unless he's in a place he feels safe.
For Eric, Hyesung is his safe haven, in both body and mind.
For Hyesung, having Eric depend on him, and him alone, is the most precious treasure of his life.
He slips on his shoes, patting his pocket to ensure he has his keys and leaves. He'll go to Jun Jin's and visit with the younger man for a while before heading to the store to pick up something for tomorrow's lunch. Eric will be hungry when he wakes from his hibernation like sleep. Hyesung knows it will take a few hours, long enough for Eric to have tossed the pillows to the ground while dreaming and be in need of the warmth and security only a physical body could provide.
Hyesung looks forward to it even more than Christmas because only he is allowed to see Eric's weakness while being his strength.
