Two mid-length short-stories.
Good title, I know :'D
Well, here's the first one (they're both part of the SuJu 100fics challenge)
009. Coffee, Eunhyuk/Donghae
Rated: G - PG
Genre: Fluff
The first thing he noticed entering the room was the silhouette leaning over the table.
The second thing he noticed was the coffee, it was black. No one he knew drank black coffee, not that he could remember right there and then. He tried coughing, loud and clear, but the person gave no response. He looked over at the coffee-cup the person was holding, it was full of black liquid, it was definitely coffee, but who drank black coffee? He started to get a bit frustrated and dropped his keys to the floor, no response. He tried pulling his zipper on the jacket down really slow, no response. He tried coughing again, he tried stamping his feet, he tried sighing, there was absolutely no response from the person. Then he tried the most obvious thing to do; talk.
“Hello?” He tried, a bit cautious, still no response. “Somebody in there?” He walked slowly towards the person, but he rose his hand. “Stop,” he said. That voice, he knew it, he loved that voice! “Hae?” He tried touching the fragile-looking figure, but he just got a snarl in response. “Please, leave me alone.”
Leave him alone? Leave Fishy-Hae alone? He was always the one who hated being alone, he loved company, anytime! If he was sad he always needed someone too, but this was different. He had never seen him in such a mood, he seemed… Angry, sad, frustrated, fragile? He couldn’t put his finger on it, but he knew he had never seen his happy friend this way before. And why did he reject him? He always came to him if there was something wrong. He gulped, what if he didn’t need him anymore? What if he didn’t like him anymore? His heart sank lower at the thought and his head also lowered.
Hae sighed. “Hyuk,” he started, his eyes not leaving the coffee cup. “I, I don’t think you want to see me in this state.” He could swear his head exploded and that it could be heard all over the dorm, but luckily everyone was asleep already, his schedule was late today. This state? What state? And as if reading his mind, Hae cleared his throat and opened his mouth to talk. “I never knew,” he said so low he thought no one could possibly hear it so he said it again, a bit louder; “I really never knew.” And with that his whole body sunk and he laid down on the table, sobs being echoed in the almost empty room.
“Is something wrong?” A stupid question really, something was obviously wrong. “I’m fine,” he stuttered and rose his head, revealing his shaking hands. “I’m just so scared,” he continued, still not turning around. “Scared about what?” He took a chance and sat down on the chair next to him, making him look the other way. He sighed. “Everything,” he said with a trembling voice. “All of this, it’s so… Fantastic and horrible at once.” Hae smiled, he could hear that he smiled, there was something different with his figure when he smiled too, he could both see and hear it. He was fantastic when he smiled, he loved his smile. Why didn’t he turn around and smile to him?
“I’m sorry I didn’t want to tell you this, but the only one I really want to talk to is you,” Hae said, obviously more relaxed with the situation now. “You didn’t want to tell me what?” “That I’m scared, I’m a grown man, I shouldn’t be scared about something like this!” Hae’s voice started to tremble again and Hyuk threw his arms around the younger man, but despite his worries, he didn’t fight against it. “Tell me everything, Hae, I’m here for you, you know that.” He could feel a nod and calmed down, he was happy he could trust him.
“The fame, it came so sudden, and the press, the fans, the insecurity and that I always think I’ll mess things up! It all came so sudden, I mean, in the blink of an eye we became superstars. It’s frightening, hyung, it really is.” It wasn’t only his voice who was trembling now, his whole body was shaking with fear and insecurity. “Hae, there’s nothing to be afraid of, you’re doing great! I don’t think that anybody could’ve done better in this situation than you, you don’t need to worry about messing up either, you’ve done everything perfect. And do you want to know a secret?” They smiled together and finally Hae turned around, staring in the older man’s eyes and he nodded slightly, waiting for the secret. “I also get scared, and I could swear I heard HeeChul-hyun crying two days ago and mumbling he was scared in his sleep. It’s not only you, Hae, this is frightening for us all.
“There’s one more thing,” Hae said and took his eyes away from the man sitting right next to him, arms tangled around shoulders. “Tell me,” Hyuk said, hugging him harder, it felt so good knowing he could actually help his friend with just holding him tight. “I’ve had weird feelings lately, like romantic ones,” he said slowly and dug his head deeper into the other’s shoulder. He smelled like strawberries, probably his shampoo, it smelled really good. “They’re about you.”
Hyuk stiffened, and Hae could feel it too, did he actually say that? He pulled away from the hug and looked deep into his hyungs eyes, he really did say it, and there was no joke about it either; Hae’s eyes could never lie. Hyuk leaned forward, meeting the others lips halfway, crushing into each other, and his hands started tangling with his hair. It felt good, in a weird way, to make his friend happy with a kiss. It would’ve been mean if he didn’t feel something for him too, as guilt washed over him he started hesitating with the kiss. But then he decided it was okay, because to be honest; he did actually like it.

Rated: PG
Genre: Angst
We were so young.
Too young.
Do you think so?
Do you think we started it too quick?
Maybe.
I don’t know.
Tell me.
I need proof.
I need proof that you still feel the same as you did.
Tell me.
Do you love me?
I need something.
Just something to make me feel better.
Your warm hugs and sweet kisses.
Drinking hot chocolate in your soft embrace.
Don’t you miss it?
I miss it.
I miss it everyday.
How did we end up like this?
Why did we end up like this?
Tell me.
I’m so confused.
Please come back.
Why did you leave?
The memory of you shutting the door.
Too much.
I can’t take it.
Whisper me calm words.
Always soothing.
Tell me it’s gonna be okay, you’re coming back.
You’re not here. It’s empty.
I miss you.
Too much.
I can’t take it anymore.
I need answers. I need you.
The end is too easy.
It wouldn’t be fair. Would it?
Painful?
Would it be painful?
I weigh the tool in my hands. It doesn’t seem painful.
I remember you, your smiles, your soothing voice.
The fingers tangled in my hair every night, relaxing.
I love you.
I love you.
I need you.
I want you.
“I’ll always be here for you.”
The pain. Too much.
I close my eyes.
The feeling in my fingertips slowly fading away.
The pain burns, the heart burns more.
I smile and remember how you’d use to comfort me on rainy days.
“I love you, you’re safe. Relax, Hae. I’m here for you.”
Right.
My smile fades, I can’t feel anything.
Panic knocks on the door and I open.
Too late.
It’s too late now.
Nothing can be done.
I love you.
My mind slowly goes black as I see your face fading.
I thought you loved me too.
