Sonata Of Temptation
Title: Sonata Of Temptation
Length: One-shot
Rating: M
Pairings: Heechul / Ryeowook
Summary: Heechul wants to know why Ryeowook backed away.
He stepped into the dorm, only to be enveloped by darkness. But of course, who would leave a light on for the empty dorm that would stay empty for hours?
Walking into his room, he dropped his bag on the floor and dived onto the duvet. Taking in a deep breath, he felt a flash of a sear on the walls of his heart. No matter how many times the sheets had been washed and changed, Hankyung's smell lingered amongst the new ones on the fabric. Just like how the pain never went away no matter how much it lessened.
Unwilling to dwell in the misery, he pushed himself off the bedding and headed downstairs, hoping to find some relief in the company of one of the younger ones.

He cursed at the identical silence of the apartment and was about to turn back when the voice halted his departure.
"Heechul Hyung?" Ryeowook stepped out of his room, wiping at his damp hair with a towel.
"Orh, Ryeowook-ah, you're the only one home? Where's everybody else?"
"Yes Hyung, I just got back not long ago. Jongwoon Hyung and Sungmin Hyung are busy with Hong Gildong rehearsals, Hyukjae Hyung's on air at Sukira now and Kyuhyun's still recording the video for our concert in Japan. I finished my part early so I came back first." Tossing the towel into the laundry basket, he walked to the kitchen.
Heechul dropped the idea of returning to the vacant place above and promptly deposited himself on the couch. "Ah, there's no one upstairs too. I thought I'd at least find Donghae home, but I forgot that it's a Wednesday." Switching on the TV, he started flipping through the channels, trying to find something interesting to watch.
"Hyung, are you hungry? I'm going to eat dinner now, you want some?"
"What is it?"
"Your favourite, Bibimbap. I made extra in case the rest come home hungry."
"Mmm, get me a bowl of it, and a drink too."
"Okay."
They sat down with the food in front of the TV, finally opting to watch a DVD of the recent fanmeeting, after Heechul's fruitless surf through the channels.
By the time they were done with dinner, it was getting to the part of Kangin's appearance and Heechul complained of getting bored with the show, taking the chance to switch to a variety programme. The younger had no complaints with the sudden cut-off, knowing that he would start crying too if they continued watching that.
Bits of humour from the broadcast lightened the mood and soon they joined the recorded laughter.
Turning to his left, he looked at the other's joyous expression. "Ryeowook-ah, why were you afraid of me?"
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, an expression of total confusion rose. "Huh? What do you mean, Hyung?"
"During my solo at the fanmeeting, you stepped back when I approached you. Is it only me, or you wouldn't let anybody kiss you on stage?"
Ryeowook felt himself flush, his true thoughts causing him to fidget in his seat. "Erhm.. I.. I just didn't want t-to disappoint you..."
"Why would you disappoint me?"
Knowing that there was no escape for him now, he tried to organize his thoughts and string them into comprehensible sentences. "It's just that everyone you've kissed so far is so awesome, Jungmo Hyung and Siwon Hyung are so manly and sexy, so they must taste great too, although I can't figure out how manly and sexy tastes like, and Sungmin Hyung and Henry, I'd imagine that kissing them would be like sticking your tongue into a ball of cotton candy and having the sweetness melt around it, and you've even said that Sungmin Hyung is the best among your kisses, and I know how good he is from that time the card dropped, and he's good even when it's underwater, I think I'm nowhere near that and you wouldn't like kissing me..."
The little monologue left Ryeowook panting, his face almost exploding with red which could either be a result of breathlessness or embarrassment.
Heechul watched the younger with amusement, lips stretching into a smirk before he made his move. Catching the small face in his hands, he swooped down and pressed his lips onto the other pair, the tip of his tongue just sneaking in enough for a taste.
As expected, eyes wide opened stared back at him, the owner too shocked to react.
Letting go of the frozen face, he sat back, taking a swig from his cup. "Sweet too, but a different kind of sweet. Like maple syrup on a cinnamon bagel. Naughty and nice at the same time? I think I'm hardly disappointed, Ryeowook-ah. More like pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I think I'm going back to get some sleep now. Thanks for dinner. And.. dessert too."
Ryeowook sat dumbfounded for a couple more seconds before he recovered. And the click from the door signified that he was once again alone in the dorm. However, only when Heechul's last few words rang in his ears again then did he realise that he had been ambushed. "Aaarghhhhhh!!!"
====================================
A/N: This author has not collected enough information(if the information has indeed been released & I've amazingly missed it) and is making her own assumptions. Apologies from lazy author.
1) I've not seen any info on them moving into a new dorm so I'm writing i.a.w the last known 11th floor and 12th floor lodging arrangements.
2) Heechul spoke of moving out to his own place when his relationship with the members was strained due to negative rumors. He has stated in interviews that the relationship has improved and he's much closer to the members now but I don't think he's mentioned anything about moving back. Anybody has any idea? Therefore, he's moved back to the dorm in this fic and placed in Hankyung's room for obvious reasons. (It's vacant, now.)
3) I don't know if there would actually be any DVDs for the fanmeeting but I'm guessing that it wouldn't be very difficult for them to get one. I mean, artists do usually want to review their own performances, don't they?
4) Cotton candy is irresistible for me. I hate sweet stuff but I'm powerless against cotton candy. Actually, I only linked Sungmin with the cotton candy, but since it's easier to group the cute with the cute, putting Henry into the description as well kinda makes sense to me.
5) Why cinnamon? Because there's a bottle of cinnamon powder in front of me. Sweet with a touch of spice. I never thought of Ryeowook as just cute. Even from the early SJ days, he struck me as cute with underlying "something". And the "something" seems to be surfacing nowadays. Hot/Wild/Quirky.. (So why was he so shy when he answered Heechul? Because it's Heechul.)
P.S: Fails, right? I'm usually a YooSu AU chaptered fic writer. One-shots are not my forte. But my muse went for a really long break and now DBSK really doesn't have much action for me to come up with a one-shot, so I'm grateful that at least there's still 1013.
P.P.S: Please forgive the author for all these blabbering. I do realise that if I go on anymore, the "A/N" might end up longer than the fic itself. *bows deeply*
