Sewers and Things
Tablo/Eunhyuk, PG, 380 words, Archive

A/N: Did an Hour Fic Challenge type deal with rodiy. Was given the prompt [762. Soaking Wet] from a 1000-prompt list somewhere :| Of course it's blohyuk pointless :)


“Why are we down here again?” Eunhyuk crinkled his nose.

His hand almost flew up to act as a kind of air filter mask, but realized its futility. He never understood why people did that to block out odors. It just didn’t work.

“We’re looking for Narnia,” Tablo answered.

Eunhyuk frowned. “Hyungnim.”

“Just trust me.”

The sun was still out and its rays streaming through sewage drains and manhole covers. However, Tablo still directed a flashlight at the path before them, its beam reflected off the darkly stained concrete.

Eunhyuk stepped closer to the comfort of another human, pressing his body firmly against Tablo. He swallowed to stop the surging in his esophagus, whispering, “Isn’t that…?”

“Yes,” Tablo replied, quick and succinct. “Hurry up, let’s keep going,” he ordered, gently steering the younger towards the front.

However gentle he was, Eunhyuk flinched at the touch on his bare forearm, taking a misstep.

Like a slow motion fumble, Tablo reached out for Eunhyuk’s thrashing hand as he fell back, but failed, leaning too far over and losing his own balance.

Both of them sputtered loudly as they came up for air, echoing through the entire underground.

“Are you okay?” Tablo asked, wading through to grab hold of Eunhyuk.

“Ugh! The smell, I can’t escape it!” Eunhyuk spat, climbing out of the wastewater, Tablo right behind helping him up.

“It’s just surface runoff. You’re fine,” Tablo grinned, clambering up with Eunhyuk’s assistance.

They stood, dripping and shivering just the slightest bit, soaked to what felt like their core.

He went on, “You know, no one’s around and we’re already wet.”

“Hyungnim!” Eunhyuk blushed. “Why are you so gross?”

“Fine, fine… Let’s just go back and shower. Together. Yes?”

“… Is this why you brought me here?”

“Of course not. What do you take me for?”

“Then why-”

In an abrupt turn, Tablo pulled Eunhyuk into an awkward scuffle of a hug, squeezing their drenched bodies and warm tender lips together in one swift go.

“Why do I ever want to spend time with you when all you do is pull me into crap?”

Grasping at Tablo’s shoulders, Eunhyuk stared at his lips, breathing harder and faster than before and then it hit him. “I-I thought you said it was just runoff!”
