"Do you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"The first time we met?"
"You mean when you pummeled me into the ground trying to take off with JunSu hyung's gameboy?"
The wind that swept across the grass carried HyukJae's small laughter along with it
and I grinned faintly, shaking my head. It was one of those rare times when we had a vacation and the two of us had decided that a week on Jeju island, just the two of us, was ideal. It was sometime late that night, maybe around two or three in the morning and not a soul was around. It was a clear night and the deep velvet of the sky glittering brilliantly with the stars and the moon casting a cool glow over the grounds gave just enough light to see a couple feet in front of us. Not that it was a particularly important matter as we'd been laying on the ground for the past hour.
"You laugh...but that really hurt." I cast a side-ways glance at my lover but grinned.
"Ah but you didn't complain while I was on top of you." HyukJae grinned back, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I should've known then that the deal was sealed."
"What deal?"
"That you'd find someway to hook your claws into me."
I scoffed at him faintly, nudging him in the side. "Please...you weren't exactly a hard catch."
He didn't have any response to that, at least not a verbal one. My view of the sky was blocked as he shifted in the grass to lean over me, a small smirk playing lightly across his features. He didn't seem to care that we were in clear view to anyone who might walk by as he kissed me gently. If he wasn't nervous, then I really had no reason to be either. My fingers slid up into soft locks of hair and I returned the sweet affection, nipping playfully at his bottom lip. We did this often, come to think of it, often playing little games of kissy face or touchy feely and always with careless abandon. We stopped trying to hide our relationship in front of our band mates a long time ago. It hadn't been worth the struggle or the frustration that it caused because they were entirely too smart for that. They knew it long before we allowed it to become really obvious. None of them cared and most of them gave reactions of "Thank God" or "It's about damn time." I had to laugh when I saw the shades of red that HyukJae would turn, each one progressively getting darker. It was one of the things I loved most about him.
So many times, from SungMin especially, I'd heard what an fairytale relationship we had. I failed to see what he meant. After all, I only saw us as having a healthy and normal relationship. We barely fought but when we did, it wasn't without reason and it was normally worked out a day later at the most. We did things together as often as possible, kissed each other goodnight and good morning with a healthy dose of sex thrown into our regular schedules. We were still boys at the time after all. Hell, nothing had changed much in our time together and we had been so blissfully...normal.
"I love you." He whispered gently, his lips still just barely touching mine. "You really are my world, yanno."
"I know..." I smiled lightly, nodding a bit. "I know...and I love you too...so much."
That had been five years ago...
