Sequel to previous prompt~*
uknowlov2 was wondering Changminâs reaction to my previous fic. It made me curious too~
So, I wrote this as a follow-up (of some sort):
He didnât say anything.
But perhaps, there was something in his voice (or maybe his lover just really knows him well) that from his first âHello..â when he picked up the phone, there was a pause at the other end and then..just.. : âIâll be there in a few.â
And an hour later found them cuddling on Yunhoâs big comfortable couch- Yunho sitting sideways on Changminâs laps with his legs comfortably stretched on the couch and Changmin arms wrapped around his waist to hold him steady.
Ignoring the tense body, he pulled the other man closer and nuzzles the soft fair skin of Yunhoâs neck.
Aside from Yunhoâs soft âChangmin-ah..â when the latter arrived, they both been quiet - Changmin knows not to push and that if he patiently waits long enough, Yunho would opened up to him.Â
As he keeps on petting Yunhoâs side and kisses that smooth cheek, he could feel his lover getting more relaxed and calm.
âI..met with Donghae today..â
Changmin didnât say anything -Â just strokes Yunhoâs soft hair gently where the older man resting his head on Changminâs shoulder.Â
âHeechul-hyung asked me to get him coz he said both of us need to talk, or something..
He.. was quite drunk by the time I arrived..â
Yunho absently plays with one of the buttons on Changmin's shirt.
âHe said it was my fault.. He kissed me and he asked why I havenât noticed that he likes me all this while.
Then he realized that I already do...â
Changmin is aware of the other manâs feeling towards Yunho, of course. Theyâve talked about it but even though he is Yunhoâs lover now, he doesnât feel any jealousy or even thought to keep Yunho away from one of his longtime best friends. He trusts in their own bond and he respects that this is something that needs to be resolved in between Yunho and Donghae sooner or later.Â
And being someone who is completely head over heels over Yunho himself, he understands and perhaps even feels sympathy for Donghae.Â
But he was hurt.. Deeply hurt.
And I wonder if I shouldâve let him know that I know all this while but..â
â... But you didnât want to ruin your friendshipâ
Yunho nodded and turned to buried his face in Changminâs neck,
âI donât want to make things awkward and I end up hurting my best friend even more because of my selfishness..
Donghae was right: It was my fault..â
That had Changmin paused in his rubbing Yunhoâs warm belly underneath the hoodie. Not for long though, he resumed the gentle rubbing/patting again after few seconds,
âWould it make anything different if youâve told him earlier? Would you change your mind and accept him?â
He keeps his voice low and soft as of not to spook his upset lover.
Yunho shakes his head slowly,
â...When I first noticed it, I thought about it.
I tried.. but... I canât.Â
Iâm sorry Iâm a horrible person..â
âBaby, youâre just a human.. A pretty awesome amazing man, sure. But still, just a normal human being.Â
Thereâs absolutely nothing wrong in having your own choice.
Honestly, it doesnât matter when you tell him.. He would get hurt either way..â
âGive him time.. Heâll come back to you. You guys are best friends, right?
Then trust him, Yunho-ya..â
Changmin turned his head a bit to pressed a kiss at the side of Yunhoâs temple,
âItâll be okay, I promise you that.â
- Hmm, honestly I think this is how Changmin would be in this particular situation (??) He would be supportive, understanding, loving, patience.. but he wouldnât get directly involved.. Maybe he feels jealous, maybe he doesnât.. But he would respect that bond between Yunho and his friends. He wouldnât try to control nor change Yunho. He would realized that Donghae was in Yunhoâs life even before him.. that Donghae loves Yunho even before him..Â
He feels sorry for Donghae because it could easily been him in that position: the one that could only love from outside. Infact, maybe he already felt that when Yunho was with Jaejoong before..Â
Plus, I would like to think Changmin is confident enough in the strength of their own bond.
- Of course, if itâs anyone else.. someone that maybe poses serious threat to their relationship or a creepy stranger, then.. well, Changmin gonna smite them so hard, theyâll fly to another galaxy! :p
