Summary: A clinking of keys, the clashing of beliefs, one very same heart.
Warning: Written in about 20 minutes, very short, and UN-BETA'D. Nothing new.
“I may have 20/80 vision, feel sore all over, complain often and am partially deaf in one ear; but I am not old.”
At the clinking of a familiar set of keys, Sungmin lifted his barely working eyes to a huge blur of a mass of bodies. He sighed, rubbing his eyes again, when his friend shook his head in pity - or ridicule, one or the other. But it’s not like he can see it.
Eunhyuk pats him on the back. “You know, it’s not like being old is a crime or anything,” he smirks, “just means you’re a bit more... mature, is all.”
“Oh, shut it,” Sungmin growled, slapping Eunhyuk’s hand away. “You’re only a couple months younger.”
They hear the familiar clashing of keys for the hundredth time that day and Sungmin can feel his own breath stop. Eunhyuk frowns. “I don’t get it,” he muses, “why are you so hung up on this person, anyways?” He grimaces when he realizes Sungmin is just about this close to poking one of his eyes out if he continues stabbing it with his fingers.
“Can’t say,” Sungmin shrugs.
Eunhyuk pouts, crossing his arms over his chest. “You can’t say or you don’t have anything to say?”
“What’s wrong with you today?” Sungmin furrows his brows. His eyes are still blurry and his neck is still sore. “I’m aching all over and all you can do is diss me and make me feel terrible about myself.”
“You complain too much, that’s why,” Eunhyuk rolls his eyes. “Plus, you always feel terrible about yourself - so, nothing new there.”
Sungmin wishes he can see, so he can slap the other boy on the arm or something - something painful.
“Here he comes again,” Eunhyuk gasps.
Sungmin immediately straightens. “What?”
“Just kidding,” Eunhyuk grins.
Although Sungmin can’t see the grin, he can hear it in Eunhyuk’s voice. “Not funny.”
“Really? I think it’s pretty funny,” he shrugs.
Eunhyuk can’t stand the sight anymore when Sungmin is blindly rummaging through his bag for his eye drops, hissing and groaning at everything his fingers ram into in the process. He snatches the satchel from the older boy and digs through it, pulling out the eye drops, and walking up behind him. He roughly takes Sungmin’s face by the chin and tilts it back so the crown of his head is leaning against his abdomen.
“Hey!” Sungmin protests.
“Don’t move, or I won’t be held responsible for blinding you,” Eunhyuk grumbles.
Sungmin pouts, but stays still none the less.
“If only I knew which guy it was,” Eunhyuk mumbles, “then I wouldn’t have to go through the pain of sitting here and waiting with you.”
There is only silence as a reply. Sungmin can feel his cheeks warming against Eunhyuk’s slender fingers.
“Alright,” Eunhyuk sighs, closing the cap to the eye drop. “Well, I have to get to class. Maybe I’ll catch him around next time.” His words are hesitant, almost unwilling to leave his lips. He doesn’t want there to be a next time - not for something like this, anyways.
Sungmin nods, hanging his head low. “Yeah.”
“See ya,” Eunhyuk waves.
The older boy waves back bashfully. He blinks the clarity to his eyes as he watches Eunhyuk turn around, slipping his backpack on and disappearing into a crowd of people. The familiar clashing of keys play again, harmonic to every step Eunhyuk takes.
Sungmin continues listening to the music the chains on Eunhyuk’s backpack make and smiles softly to himself.
“See ya.”
