When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

When Changmin first met Yunho he hated him, with his stupid undercut parted-down-the-middle hair style and his baggy clothes and his incessant bad boy posing. “Hey you, come with me,” Yunho had said, striding straight into the bedroom without knocking. Changmin put down his earphones and rolled off his floor mattress and followed Yunho out with a muttered, “Yes hyung,” and privately thought, I’m dead.

Yunho shoved a video tape into the player and pressed play on the remote control, before turning around and grabbing Changmin’s shoulders, manoeuvring him awkwardly to sit on their threadbare couch. It was a live recording of a performance by Dana. “Wait for it,” Yunho said, standing to the side and jiggling his leg restlessly, “my bit’s coming up – there!” The Yunho on screen started rapping into the mic and at the camera, one hand gesticulating b-boy style. He threw Changmin a glance.

Changmin realised Yunho was looking for a response. “Looks good,” looks awful, “very professional, hyung,” why am I even here?

Yunho nodded, satisfied with this response. He pointed to the screen. “This is what you get when you work hard at something, if you’re truly dedicated.” His stare was level, his gaze hard and eyes boring into his. “If you’re not dedicated, Changmin, you may as well leave.”

Nine Years Later

Coming out of the hotel bathroom and Changmin couldn’t be bothered with sleep pants- just underwear and a t-shirt would do. The weather was warming up and – walking down past the single beds and the dressers – were his legs always this weak... no, of course not. “God I’m tired,” he muttered at the wall. The wall did not respond.

He followed the sound of the television to the sitting room and flopped down on the sofa next to Yunho, limbs splayed. He whimpered, head lolling on the couch back. Yunho groaned in reply.

“What’re’you watching?” Changmin asked.

It took a while for Yunho to respond. “I don’t know,” he said. He picked up the remote and switched it off.

A pause and then, “It’s over,” Changmin said with a sigh, eyes closing. Their Tone tour – all those long months on stage – completed. “A shower felt so good,” he added in a lower note, “almost felt like I was drowning in my own sweat there for a moment.”

No response from Yunho. Then, quietly, “Changminnie.”

“Mmm?” Changmin’s eyes fluttered open and he looked to the side. Yunho’s eyes were closed, but he was frowning, a small line down the middle of his eyebrows just visible.

“That kiss,” Yunho said.

“It wasn’t a real one,” Changmin told him hastily, snapping his teeth together and closing his eyes once again. “You needn’t... worry.”

Yunho sounded a little sad when he said, “I am worried – “

“You don’t – “

“What if we did it again?” Yunho asked, audibly swallowing. Changmin opened his eyes and looked at him.

Changmin shook his head, the back of his neck rubbing against the couch. “Tour’s over. No point.”

Yunho finally opened his own eyes and looked at him side-along, eyes heavy-lidded with fatigue and something else. Changmin lifted a hand and fiddled with his own wet fringe; it was a dark hairstyle this time, the part usually to the side but it sometimes gravitated to the middle after a shower. A shuffle, and Yunho was moving around on the couch until he was on his side facing Changmin. “We may have to do it again, later... And that kiss tonight, Changminnie, it took me by surprise.”

Changmin blinked at him. “It wasn’t even a proper kiss.”

Yunho raised his eyebrows. “And later?”

“I don’t –“ understand, he’d meant to say, but he bit the word off, because feigning ignorance would be pointless, and he did understand. The beginning of their tour had them nervous and unknowing of what the future would bring; the Bibari & Rui skit itself was so new and so frightening at first, and then after that it had sort of... run away with them, until it was nothing but energy and fun and much, much easier.

Changmin frowned. Yunho said, “Let’s practice for next time, get it over and done with. If we can get it right here and now with just the two of us, then if we do it on stage it won’t be so weird.”

Sleep was pushing in insistently, making his limbs heavy and his mind hazy. Yunho’s logic seemed without flaw, though there was a nagging feeling that he was missing something...

Oh well, he supposed that if he couldn’t figure it out, it must not be important. “Fine,” he sighed, adjusting himself so he was facing Yunho better, “go ahead. But you’re doing all the work.”

Yunho grunted in amusement as Changmin’s eyes fluttered closed and he puckered his lips slightly. He heard Yunho shuffle closer on the couch, felt it dip, then there was hesitation and... breath, warm and mint-sweet, and then –

Nothing.

Changmin’s eyes opened. He caught Yunho’s a couple of inches from his own and lifted his eyebrows in question.

Yunho’s mouth twisted. “You’re lips are all...” He gestured, fingers flicking into Changmin’s line of sight before disappearing. “Just relax.”

“Fine,” said Changmin lowly, sighing once again in exasperation as he closed his eyes and tried to relax his lips. They parted naturally and he hoped that was ok with Yunho – and it seemed to be, because he was moving again – and then Yunho’s soft, warm lips were on Changmin’s, and they were kissing chastely, hesitantly. Changmin did kiss back, just a little. Yunho pressed a little closer, fingers coming up to lightly graze Changmin’s jaw. Then Yunho moved away, and Changmin kept his eyes closed.

A minute passed and then, “Are you ok?” Yunho whispered.

“Tired,” said Changmin, voice raspy. He willed his heart to slow.

Two hours later Changmin awoke on the couch with his feet freezing and chest warm and his arms full of Yunho. Red-blonde hair in his face made him snuffle, and Yunho stirred, waking with a moaned, “What...” and Changmin shushed him.

He held him a little tighter and Yunho shuffled back a little to press himself closer. They commanded sleep, and sleep came once again and took them away.

End.

love this so much<3
short but really sweet<3
somehow hoping this could be longer :P

make me wonder what really happen with them right after they finish the last day..
did Yunho ask about that almost kiss lol xD

[identity profile] shunluv.livejournal.com 2012-04-29 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
i really don't think they plan that part, definitely ad-lib especially judging from Yunho reaction he totally did not expect Changmin to take that gag that far lol xD
seriously Changmin is really unpredicatable, he is the one against this gag in the beginning and Yunho only making this gag really cute but once Changmin decide to turn the table and making it Minho version, the Bibarui gag keep on getting more and more intense and sexy while Homin version is more cute childish like...
but Minho version is totally dangerous since Changmin is in full seducing and attacking mode making Yunho kinda restless and caught off guard everytime because he himself like all the fan don't know what move Changmin would do next lol :P
and the last day is the best one because Changmin taking the gag into whole new level maybe because that is the last one so hi decide to do full force fan service :P

seriously i am really curious with what in that boy head, he of all people always against doing fan service like this and he really didn't have to take it this far as well since he doesn't seem to mind to not listening to fan request and can make them shut up anytime but why he instead is the one initiating this and seem too excited for this lol :P
like during 1st day Tokyo Dome seem like Yunho don't want to do the gag anymore maybe because the ir parent is there but Changmin is the one suggesting they do it..

ahhhhh seriously even if i don't want to ship them more than brother but kind of thing really make me hard to resist this pair especially Changmin seem more open nowadays showing his love to his hyung while Yunho adoration for him is the ost obvious thing in planet earth :P

lol now this become like essay :P
yeah really want to know what type of convo they have after that lol :P

[identity profile] shunluv.livejournal.com 2012-04-29 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
ahhhhhhh those gifs *_*
someone seriously need to make me gifs icon for that scene so i could use it please<3

haha Yunho totally still in shock mode lol and don't know how to react and keep on looking in front..
he can't even looking at Minnie face while that brat act like nothing happen, such a tease and big troll lol :P
yeah he is totally overwhelmed at that moment and kinda flustered..

yeah the Homin one is very cute and kinda innocent with Changmin being shy and running away so it never go too far and just for laugh..
but once Changmin did it the atmosphere totally change 360degree..
it just so intense, hot, sexy, full of sexual tension of those 2, though Yunho being super shy but he don't want to run away because im sure he totally secretly enjoying the rare moment Changmin initiating skinship for him lol :P

yeah Changmin have made himself a very strong image of hating fanservice and showing skinship in front of fans this past years so im really surprised with how much he change since he seem to be enjoying this gag more than he supposed to lol...
i know he can easily ignore the fans request and skip doing the gag because the fans know he is lord-voldermin that can control the situation to his favor no matter how many thousand fans booing him but why oh why he still want to do the gag if he not secretly enjoying every single moment of that :P
yeah he still complaining about doing this kind of gag to make money during the MC but still that doesn't stop him from doing that gag over and over again especially showing that horny face, with eye full of lust etc for his HYUNG and that just to damn hot and im sure he is fully aware what kind of effect that is to kill every fangirl and even poor Yunho lol xD

haha i think Yunho love for Changmin is too damn obvious it is not even subtle that anyone can see and feel lol...
i don't know it just love for friend, or brother or partner or more than that but it definitely full of love that he always seem so happy and glowing everytime he is around Changmin :P

Hope it's okay if I cut into the talk there, but yeah, the cameras were not very good at capturing HoMin interactions in the past. They even complained about it once in their couple talk (http://youtu.be/Xgg5te6PP8A) (around 9:36). Changmin had a habit of rejecting affection (http://youtu.be/DEi9_BPnYq0) but a lot of it, I think was getting back at the others for bullying him (http://youtu.be/bB-FbcBnxmU).

No problem! It was actually a towel though, since they get sweaty on tours dancing. The funny thing is, after Changmin throws the towel to the floor, he picks back it up and uses it. Gift received. XD

HOW. FCKING. CUTE.
Lol sorry to intrude on you two's conversation like this but I haven't really been keeping up with the Tone Tour.
Did the "kiss" mentioned in the story happen in real life? Is there a video of it?

This is seriously cute, even though Changmin would kill me for saying so. XD

Mmmm, this is warm and adorable! I love Changmin-melting-little-by-little stories the best. ^__^ Lovely!

Oh Rae, I just now found this fic! I LOVE it! the first part was so hilarious to me...especially Yunho glancing Min waiting for him to compliment his rapping. LOL!!

And the moments at the Tone tour...ohhhh I can just imagine that exact thing happening! I wanna see them kiiiiiisssss...fanservice or not, I just want to SEE it! Changminnie is such a tease with that air-kiss. But damn it was hot. The discussions above were great, I agree with everything. Had Changmin not took initiative with that gag, it would have stayed fun and innocent. But MinHo burns through the computer screens I tell you. It BUUUUURNS.

hehehe! :DDD
