Everything went out of balance when Donghae stopped asking questions.

Yunho had become so used to Donghae having questions on everything that Yunho had mastered the Art of Knowing All Answers (or, learned to concoct explanations, crafted 'satisfactory' replies). Donghae had this need to understand (eyes wonder-lit), and often depended on Yunho for answers. So when Donghae stopped being (randomly) curious, Yunho felt off, possibly bereft, at the sight of Donghae's new smile, like the boy suddenly knew all the secrets of the universe.

Donghae danced better, laughed louder, shone brighter — and though Yunho was glad of that, he didn't understand where it came from. Donghae told Yunho everything, and Yunho didn't like being in the dark about something so important.

Yunho had wondered what Donghae was about. It unsettled him, not having answers to his own questions. (That, and the fear of Donghae flying away.)

Then one night, Donghae was at the door, with secrets in his smile. One look and the meeting of mouths, hands, skin.

(Donghae's pulse beating against his own, Donghae's eyes reflecting Yunho's light. This was what it was.)

There was no need to ask questions when one thing (you) held all the answers.
