Summary: Heechul can't sleep.
A/N: I was bored and tired and this was the product.
Heechul lay in his bed on the eleventh floor fully awake, counting the printed paint splatters on his ceiling. He couldn't sleep.
He'd gone to bed at nine, not wanting to keep Hankyung up by playing Starcraft. It was now one-thirty and he had tried every method he could think of-- counting sheep, warm milk, even night-time cold medicine (don't tell Leeteuk)-- and still he was wide awake. He was getting frustrated.
He flipped open his phone and decided to see who was still awake.
Sungmin and Leeteuk were on, but both their statuses read 'BUSY >;D...Interrupt and DIE.' He shuddered and decided to keep going down the list. Donghae turned out to be the only other member on, so he selected the name and opened an instant message.
Hi. How are you? he keyed and hit SEND.
I'm just checking my Twitter before I go to sleep. How are you? was the younger's reply.
I can't sleep, I went to bed at 9. I'm going crazy. He attached an D'X emoticon to express his situation.
Heechul was hoping for advice from his dongsaeng but instead received this: Come here then.
Heechul pushed his blankets back and stood up, his ankle popping loudly. He padded across the hardwood underfoot, the cold floor making his feet ache. He left his room and made his way to Donghae's.
He knocked softly and opened the door, tentatively entering the bedroom. Upon doing this, Heechul felt the room's temperature to be quite a bit lower than his own.
"Hey," the younger man greeted softly, closing his laptop and placing it on the nearby nightstand. "I was kind of lonely too, I hope this isn't...like...awkward," he trailed off.
Heechul shook his head. "Even if it was, I'll do anything to get to sleep."
Donghae smiled, patting the bed as a gesture for him to lay down with him. Heechul did, and Donghae pulled the heavy comforter up to their shoulders.
It was warm-- especially in contrast with the rest of the room-- and even more so when there were suddenly arms around his waist and he was pressed up against a muscular torso.
"Just relax yourself," Donghae instructed softly, and shortly after Heechul was resting his head on Donghae's chest, completely calm. He could barely keep his eyes open and his breathing slowed and steadied. This was almost intoxicating.
Donghae smiled, happy to repay his hyung for all the times he'd needed help, and pressed his lips to Heechul's forehead.
"Good night, Cinderella~."
EPILOGUE
Later the next day, Heechul was looking through recent CyWorld pictures when he came across one that infuriated him.
"What the-- KYUHYUN, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!! CINHAE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"
