Painkillers
Title: Painkillers
Pairing: Ricsung
Summary: When Hyesung got hurt, Eric just need to step in and shows that he stills care, after all.
Painkillers
Months and months of contemplating how they comeback will be, not even once Eric hoped for something like this to happen.
He wince as he watch how Hyesung being carried around by his manager, who helped him to get out of the van, it’s always other people because he Hyesung will not let him do that. Coincidentally, they have reached the apartment building with only 7 minutes interval. Not that he arrange it. And not that he’s counting.
He watched how the sweat start to decorate Hyesung’s beautiful features (tsk, Hyesung will hit him if he knew he even think about it) and his breathing starts to be irregular as he walk beside Hyesung’s manager.
“I told you not to force yourself in today’s filming,” he finally cannot keep his cool and scold that man. His inside is squirming every time Hyesung force to walk around with that ridiculous crutch. Or even ridiculously force himself to walk without them while filming with a bunch of hyperactive kids.
All day long, he desperately want to help that man who constantly rejects his help and went to the others for help instead. The scene in the subway station just fed his annoyance even more. How can he distribute that many flyers? Are the staff crazy, he has proposed to replace Hyesung’s place, a proposal that rejected almost immediately by the involved person (by the way he rejected it, Eric is certain the staff will edit it later on).
Despite his condition, Eric is made amazed with the cold stare Hyesung manage to throw at him, “I’m not forcing myself,”
“Yeah, you’re definitely not. You just think of the show the most and put away all the pain and your leg at the back of your mind,” Eric said as he punched the elevator button, “Come to think of it, are you out of your mind??” Eric explodes suddenly.
“Why are you yelling at me?” Hyesung bit back immediately. “I’m just being responsible with the show, my role and the team. I don’t think I deserve a yelling, especially not from you,”
“Being resp-? YAH! Is that your definition of responsibility? THISS?” Eric grab Hyesung’s left thigh.
Hyesung winced, more to the surprise element, but “It’s hurts, let go!” he whine instead.
“I know which part of your body that is hurting, don’t lie -“
“Hmm, guys?” Tae Hak timid question, made both of them turned to the source of voice, as if (which is true) forgetting the existence of the other man.
“The elevator,”
And just like that they ride the elevator silently.
***
When Tae Hak drop Hyesung in front of his apartment unit, right beside them is Eric who forcefully and angrily unlock the door to his unit.
“Don’t forget to take the medicine and painkillers after dinner,” Tae Hak reminds Hyesung.
As Tae Hak walks away from the door and Eric finally manage to open his silly rusty door,
“Eric-shi, if you don’t mind please help Hyesung when he needs,” Tae Hak smile as he bows slightly. Tae Hak is one of the few who knew the oil and water real condition.
Oil water, the on and off bepeu on screen.
The on and off boyfriend, off screen.
How can he describe his relationship with Hyesung?
Ah, it’s complicated. That’s the best explanation that came from Hyesung, back when they’re still somewhat “in a relationship”. Just how many years ago? Well, Eric remembers it is when the facebook is booming.
“I won’t need it!” Eric hears Hyesung dignified reply which calls him back to the reality.
“I don’t think he will need it, Tae Hak-shi. Anyway, he won’t open his door for me even if he needs it,” Eric bitterly said.
Especially not after he scold him like that.
***
Despite his wonderful tough reply, Eric find himself contradicting with his words as he walks around the doorstep. As if ready to run outside any moment he hears Hyesung’s request.
Which is not coming.
Really.
Tsk.
He finally called Hyesung’s phone. And cellphone.
None of it is answered.
Cursing his stupid self, Eric walks back to his apartment and really really decided to sleep. Until his attention falls on something.
***
He definitely didn’t know what came across his mind and what makes him do something like this, but now here he is.
Crossing his balcony and into HYESUNG’s balcony.
If someone spotted him, people will definitely think he is a burglar.
A spy.
A paparazzi.
Or even a rapist.
Shit, why did that thought came across now of all the moments of creativity.
He decided to call Hyesung and knocked on the sliding glass door. But nothing came.
“Hey, if you did not answer in one minute I will break in!” Eric knocks harder, and that’s when the door slides open.
Because the smarty little prince didn’t lock it in the first place.
“Pabo,” Eric cursed.
***
As Eric wonders around the neat apartment (unlike his), he can’t find Hyesung anywhere.
Not in his bedroom, dining room or living room.
Or even his kitchen.
Is he going somewhere?
However something made him turn his heels and decided to look at the bathroom. When he open the door,
“OHMYGOD!” is the instant reaction he received, which just reaffirm Hyesung’s whereabouts.
“Although this would be such a wonderful picture perfect moment of blackmailing, but I have to ask you Sungie,” Eric said in his amused tone, “Why are you lying naked in the bathroom’s floor?”
***
After much of struggle, yelling and slapping. Eric finally manage to help the now towel covered Hyesung to sit at the toilet.
“I have to admit you have lost many of your fat and muscle,”
A hard pinch in his arm is all he received.
“Not the perfect time to fool around,”
“Yes, it’s not my lady,”
“AISH!”
“Do you mind explaining what happen?” Eric asked as he looks around, smirking, although from the situation he can quite grasped what is actually happen to the Princess of Seoul.
“I take a bath, but suddenly my knee is hurting so much, that’s when I reach for the painkillers which I put in the sink but at the same time the stupid cell phone is ringing and surprised me. I fell. It really hurts and I cannot even stand,” Hyesung finished with a mumbled “Wait until I saw who the caller is,”
Oops.
“Okay,” clearing his throat, Eric asked, “Do you still need the painkillers?”
“Oh my, although I still need it, I don’t want to take it,”
“Why?”
“Why? Because it fell all over the sink, it’s dirty Eric!”
“To the best of my eyesight, your sink is definitely spotless,”
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s bacteria free,”
“Oh, come on princess!”
“No!”
“Don’t make me force you,” Eric threaten.
“You can’t,”
“I can,” and with that Eric took one of the painkillers, slipped it in his mouth and kissed the still shocked Hyesung fully on the mouth.
His surprised state makes it a lot better for Eric, erm, for the painkillers, so it easily passed through Eric’s mouth into Hyesung’s mouth.
The hard task is to force Hyesung to swallow it. Oh, he definitely asks for this himself, Eric thought.
Eric slipped his tongue inside Hyesung’s mouth and as he did so, a very sexy moan came instantly.
“Ermm,” Eric replied and snake his right hand behind Hyesung’s head. Holding Hyesung’s head with the right angle and position his palm along that perfect jawline. He tilted Hyesung’s chin upright, and shove his tongue deeper into the honey sweet cavern.
Until finally, he can feel Hyesung’s swallowed.
He finished the kiss with a loud smooch. Reluctantly giving space for Hyesung to breath, but he is still so near. As he can feel the hot breath coming from Hyesung.
Gosh, he even think that line of saliva dribbling in the corner of Hyesung’s mouth is sexy.
Don’t even make him think about just what Hyesung’s swallow earlier.
The painkiller and their saliva.
Oh my, he thinks of it.
“Just for how long you want to hold me like this?” Hyesung asked in a composed manner.
Eric’s inside dropped several floor, how can he remain so calm after that? After, just how long ago is their last lip lock?
Eric slowly let go of Hyesung’s hips, he didn’t even know just when he hold him close like that.
“Told you I can,”
“Yeah, yeah you have prove your point,” Hyesung attempt to stand up, “Now help me dressed,”
***
After helping the Princess cleaning the bathroom, (which is more like receiving order from the still sitting Princess Sung, while he clean the mess). Eric finally help Hyesung to sit in the sofa and was just about to return home when he realize he make a turn to the balcony instead of the door.
“I keep wondering,” Hyesung ask in a loud voice, “Just how did you can get in here?”
Eric scratched the back of his head, “Uhm, the door,”
“Which I can recall is perfectly locked,”
Eric look at Hyesung, Hyesung raise one of his eyebrows as if demanding for answer.
“And Eric??”
“Through the balcony,” Eric finally admitted. “It’s your own fault for not locking it,” he added as an afterthought.
“Yeah, because it is normal to be scared of someone coming through the balcony when you live in the 11th floor apartment unit. Simply saying, only a criminal minded person like you will think of that,” Hyesung accused.
“Yeah, I always think about the many ways to come in here and to be close with you, Princess,” Eric mocked him.
“Eew, disgusting thought,” Hyesung faking a shudder, mocking him back.
“Not really disgusting, judging from the earlier reaction in the bathroom,” Eric shot back.
“Fair enough coming from the 5-months-sex-free man like me,”
“Five mo-,” Eric choked. That’s exactly the last time they had sex. “Don’t tell me you didn’t,”
“Okay, chatting time is up,” Hyesung faking a yawn, “Now go,”
Eric perfectly knew that tone. The tone that’s ending any serious or uncomfortable conversation they have. The tone that’s command any of this action, despite he like it or not.
The Hyesung’s tone he always obeys. Shit, like Junjin dubbed, he really is a toy in Hyesung’s palm didn’t he?
“All right, Princess,” Eric do a little mock bow, “Hope your beauty sleep is satisfying tonight,” then he walks to the door when,
“I think you missed the exit door,”
“What?”
Hyesung smiled wickedly while pointing at his balcony, “Entry point is always an exit point, right?”
Geez, he really likes to annoy me, right?
Just when Eric is about to jump the balcony railing, he hears a soft,
“Jaljjayo, Jung Hyuk-ah,”
Well, somehow in the back of his mind, that soft voice is enough reason for Eric to always come and searching Hyesung.

END.
AN: And now, all I think about is the on-off screen couple universe of Ricsung. How did they got into this situation? What started it all? How the other members view it?
Just when I finally finished my first Ricsung story!!! AHHHH Ricsung, you drive me crazy!
And... I know there will be tons of typo in here, but I don’t care! Currently it’s 3 am in the morning, and I need my beauty sleep.
