Paradise
This place is a paradise only if you’re here. A paradise that has locked you in against your will. A sad paradise that you won’t go if you’re awake. A paradise that we can be together forever

Birds chirped and sang from a distance, a ghost of warm summer wind gushed with the smell of dewdrops and grasses assaulting his senses. Kyuhyun opened his eyes to the beauty of the unchanging darkness. “Ryeowook-ah, how do the clouds look today?” Kyuhyun spoke, a hand reaching an arm’s length to the right.
“They’re chubby and fluffy. Looks so heavy they’re falling off of the sky.” The gentle voice of Ryeowook sounded like music to Kyuhyun’s ears. Ryeowook took Kyuhyun’s hands in his and brought it upwards, fingers spreading as if to grab the air. “The sky looks so blue.” Ryeowook commented in passing, soft words accompanying the air.
“What does blue look like, Ryeowook?” Kyuhyun slowly pulled their hands down and onto his lap, tilting his head up as if to stare at the said sky.
Ryeowook held Kyuhyun’s hand tighter, stared at his wide unseeing eyes and smiled. “It looks like freedom.”

“I hear a dog barking from a distance, Ryeowook.” Kyuhyun smiled and tugged at the hand in his own, bare feet brushing over the misty grass, pulling the other to where the sound was. “Ah, where is it?” Brows furrowed, Kyuhyun pulled Ryeowook further into the distance.
“Maybe it ran back to its owner.” Ryeowook touched a small hand on Kyuhyun’s shoulder, leading him back to the house. Kyuhyun’s head turned back to stare at the empty field where lays the vision of a garden of flowers and bushes, trees around the fences and friendly old ladies from the neighborhood that never did exist.

“Can I touch?” A hand reached up, cupping sharp jaws and soft cheeks. Kyuhyun bought up his other hand to frame Ryeowook’s face. Light touches left tingles down the skin it smoothed, long fingers mapping every skin, every strand of soft hair. “Beautiful.” Kyuhyun whispered, seemingly amazed.
“I want to see, Ryeowook.” Breath ghosted Ryeowook’s lips as Kyuhyun brought them closer. “I want to see you.”
Ryeowook severed the distance between them and breathed the same air as they shared one innocent kiss. “Just close your eyes, Kyuhyun.”
“But all I see is black.” A whine was evident in the pouting voice Kyuhyun let out.
Pressing one more kiss on the pout in front of him, Ryeowook drew Kyuhyun closer, hugging him as Kyuhyun’s head nuzzled Ryeowook’s neck. “It’s beautiful. The most beautiful color I’ve ever seen. You’re lucky, Kyuhyun, because all I see is white.”
“Hmm.” An appreciative hum escaped Kyuhyun’s lips. “All I see is beautiful. Just like you, beautiful.”

Kyuhyun woke up to loud clapping of thunder and pressed himself closer to the wall. “Ryeowook, I’m scared.” He whimpered, hands flying to cover both ears.
“Come over here then.” Ryeowook’s gentle voice was audible even through the loud roars.
Kyuhyun took unsure steps to where he knew Ryeowook is, outstretched hands bumping to cold hard walls. “So scared.” Voice coming as a whisper, Kyuhyun sat down to where Ryeowook is, humming a tune Kyuhyun loved to hear. “Sing, Ryeowook.” Arms wrapped around Ryeowook’s slim waist and Kyuhyun drifted off to the sound of ringing bells. Everything will be okay. As long as Kyuhyun's in Ryeowook's arms, everything will be fine.
“So beautiful.” Kyuhyun whispered before he fell into slumber, hands resting on the cold marble stone just above where Ryeowook lays.
