“Hi!”
Kyuhyun looks the side and sees his colleague, Kim Ryeowook standing next to him, the shorter man all bright smiles and huge sparkling eyes that make you want to go “AWWWWWWWWWWWWW~”, but makes Kyuhyun want to puke because it was his week off dammit, and seeing something that reminds him of his dreadful occupation is not what he imagined to be relaxing.
“Sup.” Kyuhyun replies and turns back to looking down the street, waiting for his bus, but stops and turns back to the other man, “why are you holding a balloon? A bit old don’t you think?”
Ryeowook merely shrugs, pulling the balloon down to hold in both hands and looks through it, giggling sweetly, the silky brown lock beginning to stick the surface from static.
“Balloons are so free. They can fly wherever they want to. We can never see where they go or choose where to let them fly away in the sky. Or we can look through them and see the world in a different perspective. A gray newspaper could become a pink paradise. Want to see?”
Ryeowook holds the balloon out to Kyuhyun, big eyes pleading slightly.
Kyuhyun quirks an eyebrow, “No thanks. I’m quite fine.”
Ryeowook merely shrugs again, but this time, let’s the string slip through his fingers and lets the balloon float up and away into the clear blue sky, the summer sun’s rays bouncing off the shiny pink surface of the balloon.
Kyuhyun quirks his eyebrow again at his colleague because a person like that…is…is….there really isn’t a description that comes to Kyuhyun’s mind so he shrugs it off, and when the bus comes, he lets his colleague board first and follows afterward, sitting as far away from those big eyes and that cute face that is still staring at the floating balloon as possible.

“Hi!”
Kyuhyun jumps at the too chirpy voice and nearly spills his coffee, clenching his fist around his mug before setting it down as gently as possible, exhaling because his head is ringing now and it’s too early in the morning for bubbly voices to be bursting in his ear.
“Hello Ryeowook...” Kyuhyun grits out.
Ryeowook smiles in his t-shirt and shorts, puffing some bangs out of his face before making himself comfortable in the seat across from Kyuhyun.
“So! How has your week off been?”
Suck-ish. Leave me alone and let me sulk in my dull, boring life in peace… Kyuhyun nearly growled but held it back.
“It’s been fine, you?” Kyuhyun manages, taking a sip of his coffee and finally lifting his gaze to be met with those same huge eyes that sparkle with energy and a small shy smile.
“Oh I’ve been great! I went to the store and bought some chocolate chips to make some cookies with and then I went to go buy a CD! Gosh it’s hot! They need to turn up the air in here - “
“Why hello there cutie, did someone say they needed something to cool them down?”
Kyuhyun groans into his coffee and shoots a glare towards his ever so flirtatious friend, Jongwoon, always looking for a boy to molest in his free time (which is all the time and when he sees cute customers or friends of Kyuhyun’s come in and innocently buy a cup of coffee).
Jongwoon sets a glass of ice coffee in front of Ryeowook along with a chocolate straw and a pretty napkin, standing up straight and putting his hands on his hips, looking very proud of himself (or maybe he’s just eyeing Ryeowook, waiting for just the right time to make another one of his moves).
Ryeowook’s brown eyes widen and he squeals, “Oh gosh! Thank you, umm - blushes - Jongwoon-sshi…”
Kyuhyun glares and his heart clenches slightly in jealously at the way Ryeowook’s eyes sparkle at Jongwoon like he’s the greatest thing in the world, but he quickly shakes it off and continues his glaring.
“Oh baby, it’s really my pleasure,” Jongwoon smiles and bends down to rest his forearms on the table, leaning closer until his lips are by a trembling Ryeowook’s ear, “and it’s no charge if you give me a kiss…”
*SLAP*
Kyuhyun nearly spits out his coffee as he just witnessed a shocked Ryeowook bitch slap his friend so hard that he fell to the ground on his ass, clutching his cheek in both hands and whining like a little baby.
Ryeowook’s sputters in annoyance, his bangs floating up a little as he did so, and turns back huffily towards his ice coffee, hastily stabbing the whipped cream with the chocolate straw and sucking the large glass up in 10 seconds flat. Kyuhyun watches in awe and Ryeowook slams the glass down, breathing heavily.
Kyuhyun chuckles and rests his elbows on the table, sipping at his coffee, “You okay?”
Ryeowook groans and slowly lifts his head, his face tinted a bit of a sickly shade of green, lips covered in whipped cream and chocolate syrup as his eyes are slits, glaring at nothing in particular.
“I just got hit on by a random creeper and I just chugged a huge glass of ice coffee, does it look like I’m okay?!” Ryeowook shrieks and Kyuhyun smirks.
You may not look okay, but you definitely look cute…
Kyuhyun slaps himself mentally for the thought and shakes it away, but when he’s finally back down to earth, he finds himself staring at an “about-to-throw-up-for-more-reasons-than-one” Ryeowook, slumping in his chair and closing his eyes, breathing through his nose deeply.
Kyuhyun rolls his eyes as Ryeowook’s breathing beings to slow down and his arms fall limp against his glass of coffee, the other is probably taking a little nap. Kyuhyun sees it is the perfect chance for an escape without it being awkward and silently gets up and leaves.
A few minutes later, Ryeowook pops open his tired eyes to see a few Tums tablets lying on the table.
Hmm…did Kyuhyun-sshi leave these - ooh! They’re orange flavored!
(Tums = chewy tablets to help your tummy when it is upset^^)

Kyuhyun doesn’t know what he’s doing, but when he’s at the store, shopping for some more film for his camera, he finds himself drawn to the party section and the coffee section, in which balloons and iced-coffee powders could be found. And it really doesn’t surprise him, well…actually it does, when he sees a little patch of brown hair bobbing along in an area of the store you wouldn’t find a man shuffling around in…
“Ryeowook-sshi? Why are you in the lingerie section?” Kyuhyun blinks in confusion.
The little patch of hair spins and Ryeowook pops his head up, a white bra draped over his head and a cute smile gracing those lips and again, those eyes sparkle they way they always do. Ryeowook giggles and pushes his way through the racks until he’s standing in front of Kyuhyun, grinning up at him (with the bra still on top of his head).
Kyuhyun rolls his eyes, “What? I’m not the one with a bra on their head, so why are you grinning at me like that?”
Ryeowook grins wider and Kyuhyun feels something snatched out of his hand, “I’m not the one holding a 45 pack of colorful balloons and coffee powder, so why are you gaping at me like that?”
Kyuhyun glares and Ryeowook glares, puffing his cheeks out. Kyuhyun just looses it, bursting out into laughter and clutching his stomach, earning a few looks from the passer-by customers. Ryeowook panics and begins to run around in circles, the bra flying in the wind like a cape on his head as he flaps his arms in the air, wailing “help! Help! My friend has gone insane!” (and he’s the one that should be saying that? XD).
When Kyuhyun finally stops laughing, he sees Ryeowook running around in circles, flailing his arms around and babbling something about how people should not buy pumpkins. Kyuhyun rolls his eyes and holds his arms out, and a panicking Ryeowook runs straight into them. Kyuhyun wraps his arms around Ryeowook’s waist and pulls him back against his chest, holding the wiggling body tight.
“You know, you can stop making a scene.” Kyuhyun smirks in Ryeowook’s ear, managing to keep Ryeowook’s head still and pulls the bra off that was covering the other’s eyes.
Ryeowook immediately stops wriggling and stands still in shock because Kyuhyun is holding him and his heart is beating a million miles an hour and they’re in public and he just ran around shouting random thoughts that came to his mind.
Ryeowook grunts awkwardly, squirming slightly again, “K- Kyuhyun, I- I- I….I have to go. Bye!”
Ryeowook easily slips from Kyuhyun’s embrace, grabbing the bra he was supposed to pick up for his mother and scurried off down the aisle and disappeared, leaving Kyuhyun dazed and confused.
Kyuhyun scratches his head, still replaying the whole incident in his mind to remind himself that he wasn’t dreaming, and when everything is replayed crystal clear, he calmly picks up his balloons and coffee powder and walks off like nothing’s happened, deliberately ignoring the way his heart is thumping….and the way a lot of people are staring at him like he’s a lunatic.

The next day, Kyuhyun really doesn’t know what he’s doing when he’s at Ryeowook’s doorstep, rubbing his sweating hands together and murmuring pointless crap about how he can do it and giving himself motivation when he knows….he can’t do it. But obviously he can, or rather…his hand can do it just fine because it’s knocking away (more like pounding) on that door like he’s trying to punch a hole in it.
And when the sound of lock clicking open reaches Kyuhyun’s ears and when the door is swung open and a sleepy Ryeowook in his cute Spongebob pajamas is staring at him with those huge eyes again. Kyuhyun takes a step forward, takes the heart-shaped face in both hands and crushes their lips together in a deep, passionate kiss.
Ryeowook’s eyes are still open and he doesn’t know exactly how to respond, but the butterflies in his stomach and the loud pounding of his heart is enough to get his arms to wind shyly around Kyuhyun’s neck, it’s enough for his hands to be pressing at the back of Kyuhyun’s head, and it’s enough for his eyes to flutter shut and let himself go on instinct. Kyuhyun wraps an arm tight around Ryeowook’s waist and pull the other flush, his other hand still cupping the sharp jaw as they kiss passionately, the way two lovers would when they have just reunited from 5 years of separation.
Ryeowook whimpers, hands curling in the jet-black locks, “K- Kyuhyun…”
They finally pull away and they’re breathless, Kyuhyun panting into Ryeowook’s hair while Ryeowook pants into the crook of Kyuhyun’s neck. Kyuhyun pulls back to shift his gaze down to meet the chocolaty eyes and it’s no surprise when he’s met with the large eyes staring up at him, but this time, they sparkle with a cute shyness, no bursting energy and confident bubbliness.
“So how has your week been?” Kyuhyun smiles warmly and rests his forehead on his colleague’s, and Ryeowook blinks and raises an eyebrow, “Err…it’s- it’s been good?”
Kyuhyun smirks, “Hey, I’m not the one in cute Spongebob pajamas, so why are you gaping at me like that?”
Ryeowook sputters, both the palms of his hands on Kyuhyun’s chest as he tries to push him away, but it only serves for the Kyuhyun to grin wider and pull Ryeowook flush once again.
“What are you doing, Kyuhyun-sshi? Why do you have balloons and coffee stuffed in your back pocket?” Ryeowook unwraps his arms from Kyuhyun’s neck and crosses them over his small chest, glaring huffily.
Kyuhyun grins and runs a thumb gently over the soft lower lip of the other, “Well, I have coffee, because I thought that maybe we can make some iced coffee with whipped cream and chocolate syrup and I want to see the whipped cream smothered all over that cute little face of yours…”
“Wh- Wh- Hmph….then why do you have those balloons?” Ryeowook blushes and Kyuhyun grins again, cupping the sharp jaw and bringing their faces even closer, staring deep into the other’s eyes.
“I have these balloons so I can see the world in a different perspective….and now I have seen- or…I’ve tasted the world in a different perspective,” Kyuhyun brushes his lips against the other’s briefly and pulls back, “And I’ve decided I’m actually going to enjoy working now that I have something to look forward to getting my butt up in the morning to see…”
Ryeowook’s eyes water and the pretty lips tremble, “K- Kyuhyun I- I- I don’t know what to say…”
“Well I do…” Kyuhyun grins and crushes their lips together again in a deep kiss, his palm running up and down Ryeowook’s spine.
Before Ryeowook has time to respond to the kiss, Kyuhyun pulls back, but it’s not the usual everyday mocking smirk or grin, but it’s a warm smile that makes Ryeowook’s stomach do flips.
“I love you…” Kyuhyun smiles.
Ryeowook’s eyes widen and it’s silent. Kyuhyun’s heart falters a little when he doesn’t get an answer, but then everything happens in a flash, a little body slips from his arms and something slips from his back pocket and suddenly, he’s looking into a colorful fully blown-up balloon, his forehead pressing against it as his vision is all pink-ified. Kyuhyun blinks in confusion but when he squints, he can see huge sparkling eyes staring at him through the other side of the balloon.
Ryeowook giggles sweetly, pressing his forehead against the balloon as well.
“I love you too.”
