♡ first love — myungbaek
(/freezes, hiding his head with his bangs, a blush creeping up his cheeks) Yeah boyfriend. W-why? Can’t I call you mine? (/asks defiantly, huffing with each syllable. he rests his head against the male’s shoulder, sighing contently) It’s fine. I got myself in this mess anyway so it’s okay if it hurts. (/he tries his best to reassure the other male, though he’s never been too good with words. he pecks the boy’s cheek once more, a smile playing on his lips) Oh. (/his mouth goes agape, lips forming an ‘o’ shape. the thought of staying with the male has him blushing, he’d never been one to settle down with someone else, much less someone who he’d met not too long ago. yet, somehow he’s more than happy to comply, feeling as though he’d found a place just for himself by myungsoo’s side) Alright. (/bites his bottom lip, his nerves taking over him. he’s worried of course but at the same time excited) It won’t happen again. (/leans up to place a soft kiss on the boy’s lips) It won’t. I promise.
(`catches himself smiling at the tone and words of the other, hasty in his reassurance) Of course you can. I'm all yours. (`frowns at the claim that the boy deserves this pain, although it's an unseen expression) It's not your fault. (`soothes softly, using the brief kisses as an opportunity to speed up the process of stitching) It's quite a walk, so we can rest here for a bit beforehand, okay? (`suggests with only intentions of keeping the male safe) I don't want you hurting yourself even more... (`returns the kiss, finishing up a few seconds afterwards, wrapping it up similar to how he'd down the other hand) There. Do you feel okay? (`brushes the back of his hand over the flushed cheek of the other, half affectionately and half to see if the younger was beginning to run a fever) I'm so relieved that nothing worse happened. (`murmurs absently, his palm now cupping the boy's cheek, a smile on his face) I'll make sure you won't leave my sight ever again.
♡ first love — myungbaek
(/feigns hurt, snarling childishly at the other, though the grin on his face quite evident) You’ve got yourself a vulgar boyfriend. (/tenses up when he realizes what he’s just referred himself as. he coughs loudly, hoping that the male hadn’t heard him) Well, I mean, I couldn’t help it! (/turns to look at him, trying his best to defend himself. he plays with his bottom lip in embarrassment, unable to continue as he watches the male wrapping his hand with a bandage) Mmm… (/nods, unsure if he could honestly stay out of harm’s way) Huh? (/tenses up, blinking furiously before he glances at the boy, face unreadable. he decides to stay silent for a moment, trying to read the atmosphere and wondering if there was any underlying meaning in the male’s words) Oh… (/he opts to keep his gaze on the male in front of him, eyes unwavering) Yeah. Yeah, I guess I will. (/smiles, chuckling lightly after a beat, more than happy to get it off his chest)
(`catches the slip of tongue instantly, quirking a brow in amusement) Boyfriend? (`repeats the word, secretly liking how it sounds while addressing the male in his lap. after all, with what's been confessed, he's not really sure what to refer to the boy as. boyfriend seems to suit him just fine) Sorry, I'll try to be more careful. (`mumbles quietly, practically hating himself for inflicting pain on the other, keeping his hand steady as he focuses on the last injury, a smile reaching his expression at the confirmation that they would be spending a lot more time together) I have a place where you could stay... with me... if you want. (`proposes hesitantly, forcing his stare to remain locked on his task, afraid he would recognize uncertainty if he examined the boy's features) You don't have to, of course. (`clarifies rapidly, his nerves getting the better of him, playing it off as no big deal with a shrug) I just don't want this to happen again. That's all.
♡ first love — myungbaek
(/the moment he feels the first incision, he lets out the loudest gasp, the pain just slightly unbearable) God fucking ass fuck shit fucking fuck fu— (/takes in a deep breath, stopping himself before he can curse even further. he’s never been too good with pain, so he opts to bit the inside of his cheek to distract himself. he’s tempted to reply with a firm ‘no’ at the male’s question but decides instead to kiss him gently on the lips) Yeah, I am now. (/winces once more. but this time, he has enough self control not to curse. he stares at his palms intently, hoping that the pain would magically go away if he stared hard enough. he breaks the hard glare he has on his palms to look at the boy, eyes wide for a moment before he breaks out into soft laughter) Promise you won’t think I’m cheesy? (/he asks, voice teasing) I wouldn’t call it love at first sight … I mean, I did think you were good looking and stuff and … (/embarrassed, he hides his face with his bangs) I started thinking about you when I did the randomest things… Like, when I was feeding my dog I’d just go ‘hmm, I wonder what Myungsoo is doing now?’ and uhm… (/he flinches at the incision, though it’s no longer as painful as before, the pills finally settling in) And yeah…
(`at the string of curses, a mixture of extreme concern and hints of playfulness occur to him, though the latter half is what fuels his comment) Such a dirty mouth. (`chastises teasingly, hoping his behavior draws away from the unavoidable pain that the other is experiencing. he smiles a bit at the kiss, feeling instantaneously relieved once the wellbeing of the male is confirmed. glancing up from his task at the request, he nods his promise, secretly knowing he would enjoy anything overly cringe-worthy, wishing to secure what the boy is feeling) And stuff? (`murmurs quietly, finding each reaction of the boy to be absolutely and unbearably adorable) It's all thanks to you for kissing me out of nowhere. (`adds on, knowing mentioning that would induce more embarrassment into the other) Done with the first hand. (`informs with a touch of pride in his tone, wrapping a bandage around the other boy's hand to ensure nothing awful would happen) Just don't go around being dumb, or I'll have to restitch you. (`moves on to the other palm, beginning the same process) Though, I assume you'll be spending most of your time with me now... right? (`fails to hide his anticipating expression, seeing as how he had been hesitant to suggest spending more time together, afraid of what baekhyun would infer from such uncalled for desires)
♡ first love — myungbaek
Oh. (/nods his head in slow realization. he cheekily grins, pursing his lips in understanding) Well I mean, I was just… informing you… that’s all. (/tries to hide his embarrassment with a smile, though it’s easily see through, just like his thoughts) Okay then. Sorry, I got uhm, confused there for a sec. (/looks away before gulping down the pills easily. he turns to look at the male, happily letting him treat his wounds, a surge of affection taking over him. at the other’s words he quickly leans over to peck the male’s cheek, smiling so wide that his eyes turn into crescents) ‘Mmkay. (/nods, a little too enthusiastically for someone who’s getting his wounds treated. he looks over at the taller male than back to his wide gash, slightly worried. but he takes the boy’s words into consideration before taking in a deep breath, hoping that he’s able to bear with the pain)
(`feels another blush take place once he receives a kiss before he's even begun. he considers waiting until the medication sets in, but the wound appears to be severe enough that it won't make a huge difference, and numbness should've overwhelmed the intolerable pain by now. he begins threading through the incision with utmost care, perhaps a bit unevenly but he's not a surgeon or anything) Are you doing okay? (`pauses briefly, making sure he's not increasing the level of discomfort. continuing, he fumbles through his thoughts for a subject to talk about, knowing a conversation would distract the boy enough. teasingly, he suggests) So, why don't you tell me when this whole liking me thing started? (`feels the question is reasonable since he's still shocked from the confession) Was it love at first sight? (`chuckles, remembering how the other had acted when they had met)
♡ first love — myungbaek
(/he feels his heart thrumming hard against his chest, face flushed. he smiles into the kiss, every little bit of anxiety from before slowly drowning away. when they break away, he can’t find it in himself to look away, instead falling deeper into the male’s gaze, still in a daze. he draws back to reality upon hearing the other’s voice, suddenly aware of what had just happened. he tries not to show the shock and the amount of sheer happiness running through his veins, opting to try and keep a poker face instead, though all resolve crashes when he hears what the boy says) … Oh. (/his mouth goes dry, unable to comprehend it all) Oh okay. (/turns a bright shade of red, biting the inside of his cheek to keep his smile from spreading too wide. he watches the taller male in silence, smile unfaltering) Huh? Are these drugs? (/stares at the pills, slightly confused) You know you don’t have to drug me or anything… if you wanna… you know… (/looks away, his face getting more and more flushed by the moment) Since I uhm, like you and all…
(`smiles at the visible blush of the other, proud that his actions could have such an effect. at the assumption that the pills are drugs, he has to suppress a bit of laughter, knowing only the individual before him would be dumb enough to come to this conclusion. with the following words, he shakes his head dismissively, a smugness reaching his smile) I wouldn't try to have sex with you while you're in this condition, stupid. (`assures this boldly, although his confidence falters a few moments afterwards, and his cheeks become tinted with pink at the thought of them doing that with these newly admitted emotions in the mixture) It'll help the pain. (`clears up any misunderstandings, gathering what he needs now) I've only done this once... (`mumbles absently, gingerly taking the boy's wrist to get the shorter's arm extended towards him, palm facing upwards) You can just kiss me if it hurts too much, okay? (`grins in encouragement, turning off any joking behavior and replacing it with a more serious mindset, focusing on stitching up the wide gash, aiming to make it as painless as possible)
♡ first love — myungbaek
(/shakes his head vigorously, jutting out his lower lip. he doesn’t want the male to think he’s at fault. in fact, he doesn’t want to burden him at all) It’s not your fault at all. I was just… being stupid. Ya’ know? (/offers a reassuring smile, though the pain from the previous wounds causes him to flinch) It wasn’t your fault, trust me. (/when the other doesn’t reply immediately, he feels his palms starting to sweat in anxiety. he sucks in a deep breath, ready for the rejection to come when he feels the arms around his waist tighten. he looks at the boy curiously, face faltering from a smile to a nervous frown. as the taller male speaks his mouth goes agape. he feels his face heat up and almost instinctively tries to push himself away, afraid that he’d misinterpreted the other’s words) Myungsoo you do — (/shuts up immediately when he feels the male’s lips against his own, eyes fluttering close as he wraps a hand around the back of the other’s neck)
You're stupid a lot. (`his words are coated in endearment, a smile reaching his expression as he feels his mood improve from this reassurance, although nothing could get him to calm down from the sheer extent of the other's injuries. he prolongs the kiss for as long as possible, packing as much affection into it as he can manage, the exact opposite of the previous, lustful kisses they had shared. eventually breaking away, his cheeks flush as he meets the male's gaze) I really like you. (`admits breathlessly, a hand lifting to tenderly cup the boy's cheek, covering the spread of bruises, eyeing them once again in discontent) And I'll make sure this never happens to you again. (`promises resolutely, leaning in to brush his lips over the purpled skin, handling the other carefully as if anything but the lightest of touches would cause the shorter to shatter. his attention returns to the first aid kit, realizing he still has a lot of work to do despite this moment. they can still talk while he fixes everything. digging through everything with his free hand, he finds a bottle of pills and hands the boy a small one) Take this first.
♡ first love — myungbaek
I’d like that. (/smiles, stealing a glance at the taller male. he feels something in his chest swell up at the sight of the other tending to his wounds but quickly dismisses it. he tries to find it in himself to get upset over the male’s sudden change in tone but a smile slips onto his face instead) Sorry. (/willingly lets himself be pulled in, melting into the other’s embrace. he stares fondly at the boy, somehow tempted to place a soft kiss atop the crown of his head) I… just met with an old friend. And he saw the uh — hickeys — and… (/pauses, unsure if it’s okay for him to go into detail. he decides against it, instead playing with myungsoo’s fingers) Sorry. I think… Uhm… (/he’s never been one to get nervous but as he recalls the images of his previous encounter with tao he feels himself choking up) I think you’ve become someone really important to me. I-I might get attached and that’s probably not okay s-so… sorry.
(`stiffens at the explanation, lifting his head to distinguish the mentioned hickeys from the more violent bruises on the boy's throat and jawline) So, it's my fault? (`recalls what the other said previously, a certain remorse settling in his stomach, up until the point where he's too distracted to question further. at the sudden shift in atmosphere, he listens intently, silence sinking around them as he registers the meaning behind these words. he recognizes his heartbeat prominently in his chest, knowing each second he remains unresponsive is inducing anxiety into the male) I... (`fails to continue past that syllable, the note ringing in the tension between them. still, a smile finds its way onto his expression. his arms tighten around the waist of the other, managing to speak in a whisper) I think I feel the same way. (`hesitates for a moment, cautiously leaning in to seal his lips over the boy's)
♡ first love — myungbaek
Oh… (/bites his lower lip before suddenly understanding what the boy had meant) O-oh… Uhm, yeah. Me neither. (/blushes, remembering what had happened the day they met. he pulls his gaze away, suddenly a little too aware of his surroundings) R-really? (/winces at the pain, biting the inside of his cheek to refrain himself from wailing like a child) You don’t have to protect me… (/blinks in bewilderment. he pulls himself closer, no longer that taken aback by the wings though it did intimidate him just slightly) Like I said, you’re not inclined too… even if it would be a little nice. (/mumbles the last part, face turning a shade redder than it was before)
(`nods slowly in confirmation, focusing on the wounds he's tending to) Yeah... I can show you later... if you'd like. (`suggests timidly, not sure if the other is interested in his abilities since they aren't anything impressive) You think you can tell me that when you're in this condition? (`challenges, voice growing more stern, busying himself with bandaging the less severe cuts, particularly the stab in the boy's forearm, saving the sliced palms for later. he sighs distractedly, dropping his work with his gaze shifting towards the male's face. with a single movement, he tugs the shorter into his lap, stare sweeping over the bruises he only notices now before resting his forehead against the other's shoulder) Tell me what happened.
♡ first love — myungbaek
(/nods dumbly, mouth still agape and eyes still wide. he wants to say something but his mouth goes dry at the sight of the wings, somehow still unable to comprehend it all. he’s surprisingly silent as he sits down, somehow eyes still glued onto the wings. whilst the male dabs the damp cloth onto his injuries, he begins racking his brain for any kind of explanation) You never… (/he begins, finally pulling his gaze away) You never told me you could do that. (/somehow he’s more upset than surprised now that he’s finally taken in the situation. but, he tries hard not to show just how disappointed he really feels) Never mind it’s not as though you were inclined to anyway…
(`practically feels the other's stare on his wings, just grateful that the boy isn't too terrified or anything) I was going to... (`admits softly as he finishes removing a majority of the blood, fishing for a disinfectant next) I didn't really know how, though. I mean, you know... it's not like I expected... when we met... that... (`trails off, just shrugging in the end, giving a brief warning) This might sting a little. (`begins with the less severe cuts, moving towards the unavoidable) I can do a lot more. (`speaks just to distract the boy, finally reaching the palms bearing gashes) But none of it is really useful.... at least.... it wouldn't help me in protecting you.
♡ first love — myungbaek
I won’t die that easily. (/grumbles childishly. he flexes his arm slightly, trying to move it away when the stinging from the various cuts cause him to grimace in pain. just as he’s about to speak up once more, he hears the sound of something ripping and immediately his head shoots up. what he sees causes his mouth to fall open and his eyes to widen in shock. he stares at the now distinct black wings, breath hitching in surprise. he stays silent, unable to make a coherent sentence) Fuck is right. (/he breathes, slowly backing away)
(`bites his lip anxiously at the boy's shying off, surrendering to the fact that he's not mentally balanced enough to retract his wings right now) I don't— (`cuts himself off, shaking his head dumbly before exhaling a defeated sigh) Just let me help you first, okay? (`reasons in a hardly coherent mumble, crouching down to gather everything that had dropped, though he leaves it on the ground as he fetches a container of water, previously used to collect the rainwater that dripped from the crumbling roof. more gently now, he motions for the male to sit since that positioning would simplify the process, gingerly taking the other's arm, dipping a stray cloth into the water before wiping the injuries of drying blood)
♡ first love — myungbaek
baekhyundbd replied to your post:
(/clicks his tongue, jutting out his lower lip. he has half a mind to tell the male what had happened but decides against it) It’s nothing. Just forget it. (/sighs loudly, eyes following the male) N… nobody sorry. I just… wanted to see you.
(`retrieves the small box, rifling through the contents as he returns to the other) I swear, it's like I have to babysit you. You're going to get yourself killed someday. (`attempts to stifle his anger, though it boils inside of him, threatening to spill over the edge. he clenches his hand into a fist for a split second, just to reduce his frustration, but one spared glance to the puddle of blood that has dripped onto the ground breaks his barrier. the distinct sound of fabric ripping echoes from the walls, his shirt in shreds as his wings stretch out behind him. in realization, he drops the box, desperately trying to regain control of his form) Fuck.
(/stumbles into the building, gripping onto his bleeding arm, whilst scanning the place in hopes of finding the older male. as soon as he spots him, he coughs out loud, grunting as he takes angry steps towards the other) Look what happened you fucker -- all because of you and your fucking face. (/hisses when he feels his palm stinging from the previous cut)
(`blinks drowsily at the approaching male, awakened from his nap by the interruptive coughing. of course, he's instantaneously alert once he assesses the condition of the other, mouth falling open in shock. he scrambles to close distance between them, thoughts still bleary from his slumber) How is this my fault? (`mutters, tone risen in panic, hands fluttering over the various wounds though he doesn't dare to touch) Who did this to you? (`his gaze darkens before he runs a hand through his hair in distress, hurrying towards the opposite side of the room where he knows he stored a first aid kit)

Into the Ocean | Yukwon and Myungsoo
Yukwon gulped deeply and cursed under his breath as he stared deeper down into the dark chasm beneath him. It seemed never ending and it was that thought that struck a deep rooted fear into Yukwon. His heart began to pick up until he could hear it thundering in his chest and he began to sweat nervously as he turned his gaze up onto the hold he still had precariously ontothe edge. His grip was starting to slacken slowly as his right hand began to slide ever slowly to the edge of the ledge, he was clinging to. Yukwon sucked in a deep breath and swung his body forward until he was able to catch a sturdier grip onto the broken up pieces of concrete and tar.
“I am an idiot.” Yukwon muttered to himself as he licked his lips. Honestly he had no one to blame ut himself for not paying attention to his surroundings. But that didn’t mean he was happy in the slightest. He was just weighing his options when he heard the sound of crunching leaves not too far off in the distance. He perked up slightly and turned his gaze upwards. Although some part of him hoped that the cavalry was riding in, another part of him knew that this could be a threat in just the same turn. He wasn’t expecting the handsome face to peak over the edge. Yukwon had to hold in his instincts to role his eyes. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes for a brief second before looking back up at the stranger. But even then he couldn’t control his sarcastic tongue. “Well, I’m not too sure. I was just kind of hanging out before you ruined it.” It wasn’t the best comeback, it wasn’t witty or funny. But Yukwon was honestly really fucking scared and nervous and he wasn’t about to play games with this guy just standing there staring at him. Either he would help him get up or Yukwon would help himself, or die trying. He would probably die trying.
At the peculiar response, Myungsoo merely quirked a brow and stared down at the dangling male. Well, this is what he got for offering his generous assistance. If this stranger was going to be a smartass, then he wasn't going to keep up this anti-beneficial act. Thankfully, he was in a relatively positive mood. Otherwise, he probably would've left the male to handle the ordeal alone. Would that put him at hand to an indirect death, though? No, that wasn't acceptable. He would merely be teasing the dimwitted individual that screwed himself over. Everyone made mistakes, so he would be forgiving. "Oh, you're not sure?" Myungsoo pursed his lips, pretending as if he were taking the sarcastic tone seriously. After all, if he were literally hanging before his untimely death, he wouldn't be messing around. It was true everyone was less sensitive to the concept of death now, though. At the same time, it was more valuable. "Hm, perhaps I should just leave," he continued thoughtfully. "Yeah, that would be a good idea. Hopefully you can recover the fun I tarnished with my presence." With that, he gave a sweet smile and turned on his heel, walking in the opposite direction and minding for gaping craters in the road.
But only until he was out of the boy's line of sight, which only happened to be a few feet or so. Then, he waited for a few moments, just listening. He'd probably scared this person enough. He wasn't that cruel. Exhaling a light sigh, he returned to where he'd been peeking over the edge. "I'm dropping you if you're heavy," Myungsoo warned in a mutter, grounding himself before reaching down. His grip secured on the male's forearms, hoisting the other up just enough so he could maneuver himself over the side. As soon as it reached that point, he let go. That resulted in the stranger making rough contact with earth, but he really couldn't care less. "Jesus, how dumb could you be to walk right into that thing?" Myungsoo wondered as he observed the size of the hole, noticing it was rather visible from where he stood now. With another glance to the person he had basically saved, he noted that he didn't exactly appear to be that intelligent.
