Be that the strike of lightning, then the answering rumble of thunder. Or the spark, before a morsel lights aflame. The strained groaning of metal under too much weight, flashing white-got before carbon steel gives away.
Regardless.
It all starts with light.
The fastest traveling wavelengths known to man, radiation within and outside of humanity's sphere of visibility. The reason for life on our planet.
Barring water, of course. Light is often the first jump point.
The first cue, of something gone wrong.
Explosions were complicated and yet abruptly simple things, gas and pressure. Heat, climbing pressure, waves of gas with nowhere to expand but outwards.
Out, and out, an eventual dissipation. But first, light. Then sound. Then shockwave. And the longest, often most grueling thing. The aftermath.
Fire was much the same, in many ways.
A very simple process. Fuel. Oxygen. Heat. Often tied to explosions, but powerful in its own right. Consuming anything within its path, if allowed, within a world made primarily of perfect fuel.
For a sturdy, ancient, and constantly re-evolving aspect of the Plantae Kingdom, trees, more particularly wood, was a perfect fuel. Often more so than visually anticipated, bubbles of sap forming their own, miniature explosions in pops and snaps to the human ear.
If only sometimes.
Living wood was, of course, a less than optimal fuel source, but there are many ways for a tree to die. Even the food in which it consumes, if the mycelium system within the soil becomes contaminated, or if the environment experiences an excess of sunlight and very little water. Spread that across years, and years, and the unfortunate decisions of the government handling the land, and you get…
Perfect, lovely dead pines, simply waiting for two of three. Excess oxygen, and heat.
…
The sound a propane tank makes when it explodes is not a pleasant one. Be that up close or a mile away, the sound, heat, and release of excessively heated gas spells disaster upon disaster. The maximum psi a propane tank can handle ranges, but often, most tanks are stable at external pressures of up to 200 psi.
To reach and exceed that?
And much more, to release superheated propane gas into a situation already terse as is? Well. Humans don’t do well under pressure. Take a guess.
...
The smoke twisted across the sky from Pulga as if a morning greeting, that softened grey as you’d expect from a smaller wildfire.
”NOOOO! Oh my gosh, why would they want to go in there?!”
“Now they’re going to end up trapped in there as well!”
Kris was met by desperate wails as he entered Jae’s apartment and he almost re-considered his decision to join the celebration of her birthday. While taking of his shoes he could hear a shrill scream from the TV, followed by Tao yelling profanities at the flat-screen while Jae made some sort of weird gurgling sounds. Kris rolled his eyes. Apparently, throwing a smaller birthday dinner didn’t stop Hitler’s Minion from having a yet another horror movie marathon with her partner in crime, Huang Zitao.
The front door behind Kris suddenly swung open and a sweaty Sehun came crashing in, carrying the largest box Kris had ever seen. Sehun huffed as he put the box down on the ground, letting out grumbles of “she better thank me” and “I think I cracked something in my spine.”
When Sehun had let go of the box, he realized that Kris was standing in front of him, looking at him with that typical forever-judging-you face of his. “Oh, you’re here?” Sehun said in surprise, not really having expected Kris to attend something that even included Jae noona, and especially not her birthday.
“Yeah…” Kris looked at Sehun with a grim face, “Jessie tricked me into it.”
Sehun laughed. “You mean she did some bbuing bbuing, and being the lame and mushy candy cotton man you actually are, you fell for it?”
“Not really…” Kris trailed off as he recalled your very efficient ways of persuasion.
***
Last Sunday morning you and Kris had been cuddling in bed and he had been certain that he’d get some action, but instead you’d chosen to bring up the most mood-killing and cockblocking subject in the entire history of human existence; your friend Jae.
“Oppa…” you murmured in Kris’ ear, you velvety voice turning your boyfriend into goo in your hands. “Mmm?” Kris tightened his hold of you as you nuzzled his neck. “You know, later tonight… “ you began stroking Kris’ bare chest, your fingers moving with feathery touches. “My friend is having a birthday dinner… and I was wondering if you’d go with me?”
Kris smiled tenderly. “Of course, you know I’d go where ever you go.”
“Great! Jae will-“
“EXCEPT to that place. I’m not going anywhere near Hitler’s Minion.” Kris interrupted you and shivered.
“Oh, but Kris,” you pouted “please? It won’t be the same without you…” You put on your most sad face while planting your chin on Kris chest, looking up at him with big, pleading eyes.
“No, I don’t want to. End of discussion.” Kris stubbornly turned his head, refusing to let your puppy eyes get to him. Your pout disappeared immediately. You knew you could plead all day and still he wouldn’t budge. That was just how stubborn your boyfriend could be.
However, you weren’t going to give up that easily. Kris wasn’t the only one who possessed persistent traits; you did as well. And if aegyo didn’t work, there was only one option left.
With a devious grin decorating your lips, you moved your body closer to Kris’ until your boobs were squished against his side and you placed as hand on his jaw, turning the tenacious man to face you.
“Bao bei” you began, voice hoarse and seductive. “Please…” you whispered, letting your breath tickle Kris’ neck while your fingers rubbed small circles on his chest. Kris lost himself in your needy, hooded eyes. The way your soft fingers and beckoning voice lingered in his senses made a familiar feeling rise from inside his chest; lust.
You proceeded with tracing your fingers lower and lower on his upper body, finger pads barely touching the skin and filling the air with sexual tension. This all together with the way your body was pressed flush against his own body left Kris breathless and dazed.
“Please…” you voice on the brink to a moan. Images of the countless times you and Kris had made love flashed through his eyes, blanketing his mind with desire and need.
Though, his images were suddenly interrupted as you decided to straddle him between your legs before leaning down to press a hot kiss against his mouth, lips molding forcefully against his soft and plush ones. You tugged lightly on his lower lip before pulling away a couple of centimeters. Kris swallowed loudly.
“Can’t we go?” your words hung in the air between your lips as one of your hands once again began to make its way down his body. Kris’s eyes followed the movements of your hands, desperately hoping for them to reach where he needed them the most. “Mhmmm…” Kris’ let out a distracted mumble.
Which you decided to take as a sign of consent.
With a victorious grin, you pressed you lips hard against his in hope of keeping him in this “confused” state for a little while longer. You let out a husky “Thank you” before pulling away completely and crawling off his body. “I have to care of some things now, but I’ll see you later at Jae’s place.”
You waved excitedly before slamming the door, making Kris wake up from his perplexed state. Kris let out an audible sigh as he stared down at the raging boner you’d left him with.
“She’s going to have to take care of this later tonight.”
***
“Hello? Are you there?” Sehun snapped his fingers a few inches away from Kris face, interrupting his thoughts. “Yes, unfortunately I am here” Kris muttered and swatted Sehun’s hand away from his face.
“Okay, sheesh, you don’t have to be so violent” Sehun put on an offended look and cradled his hand close to his chest. “Now, where do I put my present? JESSIE NOONA?” the maknae’s voice bellowed in the apartment and Kris winced at the volume. Sometimes Sehun could be almost as annoying as Jae. Almost.
“Sehun!” you entered the hallway with a wide grin and pulled the lanky boy in for a hug. “You came!” “Yup, here I am!” Sehun laughed good naturally as he squeezed your waist.
“HEY! HANDS OFF MY GIRL!” Kris pulled you away from Sehun and caged you in his own arms. “Go cuddle with Hitler’s Minion or something.”
“Eww” Sehun made a disgusted face. “That would be like getting cozy with a female version of Tao, and besides, I don’t think Yixing would approve of that.”
“Well, we can always find Yixing something better to hook up wi- yah, why are you pinching me?!” Kris whined and tried to pry his ear from your twisting grip. “You’re not breaking up XingMin, okay?” “B-but..” Kris yelped as you twisted even harder. “You’re not getting any midnight nachos if you do so” you threatened. “OKAY OKAY I WON’T!” Kris rubbed his sore ear and put on a look which reminded you of a five year old caught with his hands in the cookie jar. You softened and hugged him by the waist. “Good boy. Now come get your reward.” Kris eagerly bent down and you pecked his lips.
Your little bickering slash reward-session was interrupted by a loud cough behind you. “First of all; EWW.” Sehun said with a blank face. “Second; Do I even want to know what ‘midnight nachos’ means? And third; super eww.”
“He’s just jealous because he’s single and his only company at night is Tao.” Kris postulated, completely ignoring the choking sounds emitted from the maknae himself.
“Okay, I’m just going to figure out myself where to put my present.” And with that said, Sehun picked up his large box and stalked away.
You and Kris laughed at Sehun and his ‘why-am-I-the-only-sane-one-around-here’-attitude.
“Finally we’re alone!” Kris pretty much chirped and hugged you closer. For being over six feet tall and looking like being related to the Angry Bird, Kris could be surprisingly cute, especially when he’s around you. “Bao bei, this morning” Kris began flippantly while slowly rocking you in his arms “you kind of left before finishing what you started.”
“Oh?” You let out a mix of a snigger and a giggle when remembering the tent you pitched in his pants before going over to Jae’s place.
“Do you know how hard it is to go through dance practice while having to deal with that sort of complications?” Kris announced bluntly.
“Nope!” you blinked innocently and pretended to not have a slightest clue what he’s talking about. (Actually, you kind of didn’t, because you don’t have certain male parts and you don’t do ‘dance practice’.) “Well, however you’re taking responsibility for that tonight.” One of Kris’ hands made its way down to the back of your jeans, sneaking into your back pocket and giving your ass a light squeeze.
“Oppa” you wounded your hands around his neck, “you know I don’t mind ‘taking responsibility’.”
If Jae, Tao or Sehun would’ve been present, your pretty sure all three of them would’ve been gagging together as you and Kris exchanged suggestive looks.
“MEI MEI!” Yixing’s high pitched voice travelled though the hallway. Kris sighed. “Don’t tell me we have another cockblocker.” The rhetorical statement was filled with sarcasm and you laughed.
“Come on” you pulled on Kris ‘sleeve. “I still have some dishes to finish, and as much as Yixing is a good cook, I do not seriously trust him alone in a kitchen.”
Kris trailed after you as you headed for the kitchen. When he passed by the living room he wasn’t surprised to find Jae and Tao sitting on the floor in front of the TV, bickering over the movie whether the creepy man should be slayed or not. Sitting on the couch behind them was Yang and she did not look amused at all. He gave her a small wave and mouthed ‘babysitting?’.
Yang rolled her eyes and nodded longsuffering. Kris pumped his fist in her direction, silently telling her ‘hwaiting’ (he didn’t want to disturb neither Tao or Jae, remembering last time when they had been watching The Haunting in Connecticut and he almost ended up strangled by the kung fu panda.) Yang smiled meekly before waving him off to the kitchen.
As you and Kris entered the kitchen, a flailing Yixing came in your direction, hogging you away from a stunned Kris and a forcing bag was placed in your hands. “I can’t get the icing right” Yixing almost cried as he pushed you towards the cake the two of you had been working on this whole afternoon. Since it was Jae’s 25th birthday, you had decided to go big and with the help of Yixing you had worked out something that was supposed to be a three layer cake.
Unfortunately, Yixing had the one been keeping time on the third layer as it cooked in the oven… long story short, Yixing had simply forgotten about it. Thus, the cake ended up with only two layers. But it was okay you concluded, Jae didn’t even like sweets. (But what’s a birthday without cake?)
Kris watched as you re-filled the forcing bag with icing and continued with the cake decorations. Watching you work in the kitchen always managed to fill his chest with that certain kind of affection towards you, enveloping his heart with warmth and he wouldn’t mind watching you like this all the time. (Except when in bed. During those circumstances he’d prefer you with a flushed face and heavy breathing. When he thought about it, he could imagine you like that in the kitchen as well.)
You felt Kris eyes quietly watching you, admiring you in a loving way and you smiled subconsciously to yourself.
“Hey” you looked up from the cake and med eyes with Kris inquisitive ones.
“Why are you and Yixing making the food? Shouldn’t Hitler’s Minion be doing that?” Kris questioned. You responded with an amused smile. “I don’t think Jae would like to end up food poisoning herself on her own birthday.” You laughed. “It doesn’t really sound like a good birthday gift to me.”
“But it does to me!” Kris informed you with a straight face, nodding his head as if agreeing with himself.
You chortled at his statement. Of course he’d think so.
Yixing handed you some washed strawberries and you began to slice them up. Kris continued to watch you work with a goofy grin plastered on his face. He considered himself very lucky to have such a talented girlfriend who knew how to cook. Kris turned his head to look at Yixing in pity. *Especially compared to someone else, poor guy.*
Yixing felt Kris eyes on him and he turned to face his friend, his eyes blinking with confusion. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
“I feel bad for you.”
Yixing laughed. “Why?”
Kris pondered whether he should blatantly insult Yixing’s girlfriend in his face or not. He quickly glanced over to you who were occupied with putting the strawberries on the cake. Maybe not. You’d probably end up denying him his ‘midnight snack’ again. “Nothing” Kris shook his head and turned to continue watching you, scooting over with his chair until he was sitting as close to you as possible.
Yixing laughed again. “Ge, are you just going to sit here and stare at mei mei like a hawk preying on a small mammal?”
“Yup.” Kris didn’t even spare Yixing a glance.
You looked up from your cake and found Kris looking at you like love sick puppy.
A lovesick puppy that was an inch away from squishing the strawberries with his elbows.
“Oppa, I don’t mind having you around, but you’re kind of in the way, why don’t you go and help Yang watch over the kids?” With ‘the kids’ you obviously meant Jae and Tao.
Kris stared at you as if you had just told him to go and chop off his own dick. “No thank you. As much as I feel bad for Yang” Kris put his hand over his heart, feigning compassion “I’m not setting a foot in the same room as Hitler’s minion, at least not willingly. No offence Xing.” Yixing just smiled with a roll of his eyes, completely used to his best friend and girlfriend silently battling out the cold war between themselves.
“Kris.” You sighed and put your hand on your hips. Compared to Yixing, you actually wanted both of your partners to get along with each other. “Be nice. It’s her birthday after all. You should stop calling her Hitler’s Minion at least.”
“Why should I? She worships that man like some kind of Greek God” Kris crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows questioningly.
“For starters, it makes her sound like some kind of mini nazi” you ignored Kris’ ‘but isn’t she?’, “and you know, sometimes even she shortens her nickname for you?”
“Do I even want to know what she calls me?” Kris muttered behind gritted teeth.
“She calls you Spawny” you chuckled. “It’s kind of cute actually.”
Kris pouted. “I’m not cute. I’m a prime specimen of masculinity.”
You and Yixing looked a Kris, his big brown eyes and protruding lower lip, and then at each other. *Yeah, totally.* The both of your burst into laughter and Yixing had to hold onto you so he wouldn’t fall over laughing.
“STOP LAUGHING” Kris barked and kicked one of the kitchen chairs like an upset ten year old. Unfortunately, it only resulted in you and Yixing laughing even harder. “Oh Kris” you mused while gripping your abdomen.
“Really?!” you looked up with anticipating eyes. Was your boyfriend finally coming around?!
“Yeah” Kris said with a smirk. “I’ll just call her ‘Hitler’ instead.”
Yixing began laughing again and you slapped the back of his head. “You’re not supposed to laugh when someone insult your girlfriend!” you scolded. Yixing just kept laughing and patted you head. “Don’t worry mei mei, I know Kris’ doesn’t mean anything bad.”
“How do you know that?” Kris muttered, obviously offended.
“Because behind that permanent bitch face of yours, I know there’s a genuinely good guy.”
You smiled at Yixing’s assertion and laughed when Kris made a face as though Yixing had just told him that deep down inside he was actually a female.
Yixing joined your laughter and began pushing Kris out of the kitchen. “At least help me set up the table” Yixing tried to persuade Kris. “Mei mei, you can finish the cake on your own, right?”
“Of course” you smiled. *Let’s see if I can finish this work of art before it’s time for dinner*
-
The dinner went on smoothly. To your surprise Kris didn’t try insult Jae once, and in return she didn’t try to stab her chopsticks in Kris’ eyes. Though, she had ‘accidentally’ chucked the saltcellar in his face, but Kris had been mature enough to not let it get to him. (Actually, you had sneaked a hand under the table and squeezed his thigh to prevent him, and you could definitely say that you were very proud that your distraction techniques worked so well lately.)
After dinner was finished you and Yixing went to get the cake while Sehun and Yang went to get all the presents (and of course Tao decided to trail after Yang, like the lovesick puppy he was.)
Jae and Kris sat in silence, definitely not enjoying each other’s company. Both of them looked like someone had shoved one of Tao’s Wushu sticks up in their rear ends and no one said a word.
Feeling bored, Jae pulled a pen out of her hair and began doodling on a napkin. Curiously, Kris leaned closer to get a look at her drawing. It kind of looked like some sort of an animal.
“What are you drawing?”
“It’s a Pikachu” Jae answered absentmindedly, completely absorbed in her artwork.
Kris scoffed. “Then why does it look like a rat?”
Jae looked up and gave him a ‘wth’-face. “Oh gee, I wonder.” She rolled her eyes “Maybe because Pikachu is a rat?” She copied his judging facial expression.
Kris narrowed his eyes before snatching the napkin and the pen. “You obviously don’t know how to perform real art. Let me show you how it’s done.”
After finishing his master piece, Kris held it up for Jae to see. “Look, THIS is a Pikachu.”
Jae gave the drawing one glance before choking on a laug; if her Pikachu looked like a common rat, then Kris’ Pikachu looked like a rat run over by a truck and then boiled in different chemical substances.
“Oh, like yours is any better!” Kris exclaimed and hurled the pen across the room in protest.
“Actually, it is” Jae laughed out loud.
“Stop laughing!” Kris began strangling Jae (not too hard though. He figured he’d be girlfriend-less if he actually killed her).
“YAH!” Jae choked and kicked his shin. “GET OFF YOU POOP FACE!”
“YOU CAN BE A POOP FACE!” Kris pulled on her neck until he had her in a headlock and gave her a noogie.
After getting her scalp pretty much rubbed of, she punched Kris’ arm. “You ruined my hair!”
Kris chortled. “It’s not like it was any better before.”
“Ugh, you’re such a jerk” Jae snapped while pulling on her face. Kris smirked. “Takes one to know one.”
“Ha. Ha. You think you’re so funny huh?” Jae glared at him.
“Well, I like to consider myself as quite the entertainer” Kris grinned proudly and pretended to brush some non-existing dust of his shoulder.
“Spawn of Satan, fuck you.”
The grin on Kris’ lips widened. “Naah, I don’t have to, Jessie already does that.”
Jae made a gagging sound and actually looked like she was about to hurl. Kris smirked to himself, feeling as though he had accomplished his mission for the day.
Suddenly your head popped out from the kitchen and you motioned for your boyfriend that he should turn off the lights. Kris nodded and reached for the light switch.
Once the room was dark (and Jae had stopped pretending to throw up), the five of you entered the dining room, illumination it with the candles on the cake.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Jasmin, happy birthday to you!”
The song ended with loud cheers and Sehun began throwing confetti at Jae while Tao hugged the dear life out of her. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOONA!” “Happy birthday Jae!”
A variety of different congratulations were said and Jae smiled from ear to ear, happy to be able to celebrate her birthday with her dearest friends, and such great friends nonetheless!
“Thank you guys!”
“Noona, I can’t believe you’re already turning twenty five That’s really old you know.” Sehun smiled while handing her a knife so she could cut the cake. Jae laughed. “Sehun, you’re only a year younger than me.”
“Yeah, but you’re the one who’s half way to fifty!” Kris mocked.
“Yah” Jae waved alarmingly with her knife. “Don’t insult me when I’m armored.”
Kris immediately back away while holding his hands up in defense.
Yixing laughed and slung an arm around his girlfriend. “Jae, calm down. He’s just messing with you.” Jae narrowed his eyes at her boyfriend, not believing a word. “Besides,” Yixing continued “Kris is older than you, which means he’s even closer to fifty than you are.”
While Jae’s face brightened up, Kris’ face fell like rock. Everyone laughed (especially Tao) at Yixing’s tricky little statement and Jae stuck her tongue out at Kris.
“Okay, okay, let’s move on, shall we?” your boyfriend sulked. You gave him a comforting pat on his back and swallowed your laughter.
“Jae, you need to blow out the candles!” Yang said excitedly “And don’t forget to make a wish.”
Jae looked around herself, studying the faces of the people she cared about the most, who always were there for her and cared for her in return. *What more is there to wish for than always hoping that me and my friends will always stay healthy, happy and together?*
With that thought in mind, Jae closed her eyes and blew out the candles.
-
“Noona, you should open your presents now.” Tao adviced as soon as the table had been cleaned of strawberries and whipped cream (no one had been surprised when the maknaes decided to use your cake as face paint for the birthday girl).
“Okay” Jae grinned and sat down by the table. “BRING ME THEM GIFTS, MOAHAHAHAH!” she laughed loudly while rubbing her hands together. Kris shot her a worried look and scooted closer to you. “Your friend is scary” he theater-whispered to you. “Yeah, I think all those horror movie rubbed off on her” you whisper back just as loud.
“Hey guys, I can actually hear you” Jae put on sad face and pretended to look hurt.
“You were supposed to.” Kris wagged his eyebrows and you laughed.
“Hmph, how rude!” Jae managed to hold her straight face for about five seconds before she burst out laughing herself. “Okay, seriously; where’s my gifts?”
“Here!” Tao carelessly dumped a minor pile of packages in different wrappings in front of her, completely ignoring your “Tao be careful with that!”. Yang helped Sehun lifting his huge box onto the table and Jae’s eyes grew wide as saucers at the sight. “Wow, Sehun… What’s that?” You could almost see Jae’s fingers twitch in giddiness and curiosity and anticipation shining in her eyes.
“Well, open it and you’ll see” Sehun pulled her up from her chair and placed her in front of his gigantic gift.
You watched in amusement as Jae made some lame attempts to jump and reach for the present string, her short height not really being to her advantage. “I can’t reach” she frowned. Being her personal knight in shining armor, Yixing walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up.
“Yah, Xingie be careful, she’s an elephant in human disguise” Kris warned.
Yixing almost toppled over as Jae tried to aim a kick in Kris direction.
You and Yang looked at each other and facepalmed simultaneously.
“Jesus Christ, I’ll just open it for you” Sehun sighed and easily ripped present strings as well as the wrapping off from the box. The picture on the box gave away what was in it immediately; a Home Theater System.
“Oh my god!” Jae screamed in excitement. “You’re really giving me this? Really? Really really?!”
“Yes, I am” Sehun laughed. “THANK YOU SO MUCH!” Jae broke free from a laughing Yixing and gave Sehun a hug. “Tao, do you know what this means?!” Jae and Tao exchanged meaningful looks before breaking out in squeals (to be honest, they made you think about teenage girls who had gotten their hands on VIP tickets to a One Direction concert).
“Damn,” Kris commented. “Those are really expensive, are you sure you’re going to give it to her?”
Sehun shrugged. “Yes, I’m giving her this in hope of… no wait, scratch that, I’m giving her this in a desperate attempt to make her and Tao watch their stupid movies at her place instead of mine.”
Yang laughed at Sehun’s answer. “Figures.”
“Noona, you’ve got to open the rest of your presents! Here, you can start with mine!” Tao pretty much shoved his medium sized box in her eyes.
Tao’s present turned out to be a horror movie-set; filled with a broad variety of different creepy movies you were sure you’d never want to watch. Yang had given her the biggest encyclopedia of World War Two you had ever witnessed and Yixing had surprised her with two tickets two Germany (apparently they were heading to Berlin already the next weekend). Now there was only two gifts left and you handed her the flatter box decorated with a huge wine red ribbon.
“This is from Maddie and Kai.”
“Oh, right, I heard they weren’t able to make it” Jae blinked as she received the gift. “They never told me why though…”
You chuckled darkly. “Oh, that…” a smug grin took its place on your lips “Maddie told me she and Kai tried out some, hmm, how should I say this? Well, they tried out some rather funky moves last night, and Kai ended up hurting his waist again. So Kai had to stay home in bed and Maddie felt bad for him and decided to stay home with him.” The glee embedded in your voice was unavoidable.
Jae on the other hand, didn’t look quite as entertained. She actually looked like she was about to hurl again. “I did not want to know that.”
You snickered and high fived with Kris, who was just as content with your little “success”.
“Ignore them” Yang squeezed Jae’s shoulder comfortingly. “Aren’t you curious about your present?”
“Oh, yeah!” Jae eagerly opened the box… and once again, her face fell and she slammed the box shut.
“Noona, what is it?” Tao asked.
“N-nothing” Jae dropped the box as if it had burned her. Tao saw his chance and snatched the box, curious fingers opening the lid and revealing a rather raunchy set of lingerie. Tao began to guffaw as he pulled out a deep red bra with black lace and ribbons, accompanied by a pair of matching panties. “T-Tao, p-put that away, oh my god!” Jae turned beat red and threw one of her new horror movies in his direction. “Oh shit, noona, I didn’t know you wore this kind of things. It’s kind of promiscuous” Tao howled with laughter and waved the bra like a lasso. “I DON’T!” Jae cried and buried her face in Yixing’s chest. “Xingie, can you please kill him for me?”
“Why should I?” Yixing de-attached her face from his sweater. “You know, I wouldn’t mind seeing you in those.” Yixing wiggled his eyebrows and Jae stared at him in disbelief. What happened to her innocent and pure boyfriend? She turned around to narrow her eyes at you and Kris. *Something’s telling to blame those two for corrupting my precious Xing Xing.*
After convincing Jae that she could strangle Tao some other day, she moved on to her last present, the present from you and Kris.
Actually it was just a simple envelope, but Jae looked just as curious as ever when she carefully opened it.
“Okay, Kris, I know you think you’re some sort of Picasso, but seriously? I’m getting this for a present?” Jae pulled up the card inside of the envelope, revealing a bed drawn with bright crayons, looking as ram shackled as ever.
You grinned at your friend. “Actually” you looked at Kris before continuing, “Since you had to burn down your bed because of me and Kris, we felt like compensating you, hence we’re getting you a new bed!”
“Really?!” Jae exclaimed happily. Saying she was tired of sleeping on her couch was an understatement.
“Yup! You can go to the store whenever you’re free and pick one, we’ve already made arrangements so that it will be paid and shipped for free!”
“Oh my God, thank you so much!” Jae flung her arms around you and hugged you tightly. “Now maybe I’ll be able to go through my twenties without a permanently hurting back!” she joked. You laughed and patted her back. “You’re welcome. Oh, but you should thank Kris too, it was kind of a last minute arrangement, and it’s mainly thanks to him we managed to finish everything in time.”
Jae released you and looked over to Kris. “I’m not hugging that giant troll, but I’ll admit that he’s not completely useless.” Kris let out a dry laugh “Like I’d want a hug from you anyways.”
“Aww, look, the eternal enemies are sharing mutual feelings” Sehun teased and Tao laughed at his lame joke.
“SHUT UP!” Kris and Jae yelled at the same time, making you and the others erupt in laughter.
-
After helping Jae and Yixing doing the dishes, it was time to head home.
The hosting couple stood at the front door and had just waved off Sehun, Tao and Yang. You and Kris were the last to leave.
“Jessie-ah, thank you for everything. Your cake was amazing and I have no idea how you managed to whip up all those delicious dishes for dinner” Jae praised your cooking skills.
“Naah, Yixing helped out a lot” you smiled.
Jae chortled. “From what I heard, and smelled for that matter, he burnt the cake and forgot to buy kimchi,” “Hey, I helped, okay?” Yixing argued. “I know you did, I’m just messing with you” Jae blew air in his neck and laughed as he squirmed. *So fun to tease.*
“Well, we should get going now” you looked at the clock. “I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?”
“Don’t call to early though.” Yixing said with an impish grin. “She might not be able to make it to her phone…”
You and Kris stared at Yixing in astonishment as you understood perfectly what he was implying. Jae on the other hand, wasn’t as quick minded. “What? Why wouldn’t I be able to answer my phone?”
Yixing smiled innocently. “I have another surprise for you.” “What surpri—YAH, ZHANG YIXING, YOU LET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!” The air filled with Yixing’s smug laughs and Jae’s screams as he lifted her up and darted into the apartment, leaving you and Kris at your destiny.
You and Kris looked at each other and began laughing at the same time. You guessed that your friend wouldn’t be as… “innocent” after tonight. Kris grabbed the door and began to close it, but before he shut it you could hear Yixing’s excited voice. “Hey, Jae, where did you put Maddie’s present?” You choked on another laugh as you used your extra key to lock the apartment (because obviously your friend was a little too occupied to do that herself.)
You and Kris got into his car and he swiftly changed the gear stick, and made his way out on the street.
You looked at the dark night sky, filled with stars and a crescent moon among those. It was a really beautiful night and you felt at ease since.
Kris looked at you as you studied the view from the car window. After all, he was glad that he had joined you to this birthday dinner. Whenever you were around Jae or any other of your friends you laughed a lot, and Kris liked that. A genuinely happy and smiling Jessie was the best kind of Jessie.
You turned and met eyes with your smiling boyfriend. “Shouldn’t you be watching the road instead of me?” you smiled back.
“Oh, right” Kris shook his head before turning it towards the road in front of him again. You chuckled and took one of his hands in both of your smaller ones. ”Hey, Kris, thank you for coming with me. I really appreciate it, you know.” “I know” Kris squeezed your hand back.
“It was really kind of you to help me with Jae’s birthday gift as well.”
“Of course I would. What kind of boyfriend would I be otherwise?
You couldn’t help but grin as Kris’ thumb rubbed soothingly over your knuckles.
“I wonder what kind of bed Jae is going to choose though, I really liked her last bed, it was not too soft, but it was still really comfy.”
“Yeah, I agree on that” Kris chuckled as he remembered the private party you and him had held in Jae’s bedroom last Halloween.
“Knowing Jae and her habits, she’ll probably pick something alike to her previous one. It’s a shame we won’t get to try it” you joked.
“You know” Kris began, “Jae and Yixing is going to Berlin next weekend.”
“So?” you asked, copying his questioning face by raising an eyebrow.
“She does have some green plants that may have to be watered…” Kris trailed off. You knew exactly what he was implying, but you tried to keep a straight face though. “Are you suggesting that you’ll tag along if she asks me to water them for her?”
“Of course I would. What kind of boyfriend would I be otherwise?” Kris repeated his earlier sentence, but this time with a sly smirk on his lips.
You laughed at his silly answer. Actually, you didn’t care whether he’d tag along or not, in your eyes Kris would always be the perfect boyfriend, and you were sure he’d remain like that no matter what.
“Hey, Jessie?” Kris suddenly interrupted your thoughts.
You looked up and met eyes with him, slowly drowning in his warm and deep orbs, just as always.
“I love you.” Kris simply stated, giving you a loving smile.
A warm feeling bloomed in your heart while feeling as though your ribcage would burst due to the amount of sudden feelings. This was definitely one of the reasons why he was the perfect boyfriend, he loved you unconditionally and he never forgot to remind you of that.
A/N: Hello! ^^ erhm I guess you noticed the F-marking in the title? Usually you'd mark these kind of things with "M" or "R" but since it's within my own AU I decided on "F" - F for Funky! 8D lmao, to be honest I have no idea what I wrote... I don't really read a lot of smut (I don't really read a lot at all, lol) so I just... well.. yeah... this should say a lot about my own imagination XD *hides*
---
You could feel his smoldering eyes almost caress your skin, and you knew it was futile to escape the seductive man. He trapped you between his own body frame and the wall behind you, caging you with his muscular arms. He was so close and you could almost smell the sexual tension that was building around the two of you. His eyes were filled with raw desire and lust, but you didn't dare looking up at him. You knew looking into those demanding eyes of his would leave you completely powerless and at his mercy.
The warmth of his palms connected against your neck made sparks of lust erupt within your body & you shivered involuntarily. Suddenly you could feel his hot breath on your ear and you swallowed hard.
Husky whispers of affection as well as inappropriate suggestions about the night were being spilled as his other hand traveled down to hold a firm grip on your waist. You flushed with embarrassment because he had merely touched you, yet you were sure that you had already created a damp spot on your underwear.
"I hate you" you managed to breath as you felt his lips connect with the skin of your jawline. Kris let out a dark chuckle and continued marking your neck, completely ignoring your weak protests. You breathing hitched up as you could feel Kris pull on your shoulder straps with his teeth. The sight was incredibly hot and you had to stop yourself from letting out a moan. The skin of your now fully exposed shoulder was smooth and soft against his lips and Kris couldn't help but simultaneously pull on you other strap, making you clutch onto your dress so it wouldn't fall off. "Don't..." Kris murmured. With one hand, he gripped your wrists above your head and with his other hand he pulled your dress off. Kris' eyes locked onto your chest as though he had found a sacred treasure. You ribcage was heaving up and down as you were having a rather difficult time breathing. This only added to Kris' visual pleasure and a smirk came upon his lips.
His smirk managed to stretch even wider when he caught sight of the revealing damp spot on your cheeky underwear, and he leaned in. Once again you could feel his hot breath against your neck, but also the pads of his index- and middle finger slightly adding pressure against your clit. He rubbed in small circular motions and you bit your lip, not allowing yourself to let out the sinful moan that so desperately wanted to escape your throat.
Alas, a groan of pleasure made its way out of your mouth as Kris attached his lips to your collarbone, licking and nipping like a starved predator. "Are you still in denial?" Kris panted against your ear.
"Yes..." you quietly retorted, trying to break out from the grip he still held around your wrists.
”Are you sure?" Kris mouth found its way down to your chest, immediately latching on to one of your breasts and letting his teeth teasingly graze against your pert buds. "Mhmm..." your eyes closed as you could feel that oh so familiar warmth start to build within you.
Kris' fingers travelled inside your panties and met with your soaking wetness. Kris grinned in success. "Baby, I KNOW you want me." He stated with a smug look while withdrawing fingers drenched in your juices, holding them up for you to see.
Suddenly your arms were around his neck and he was met with a playful smirk of your own. "If you already know that" you purred, "why aren't we already in bed with you inside of me?"
”Really, it’s not that funny...” Kris rolled his eyes as you doubled over with laughter. He was glad he was holding you, or else he feared you might fall out on the street and get hit by a car. But then on the other hand, at least you would stop laughing.
Kris watched as you wiped the tears, caused by your intense laugh attack, out from the corners of your eyes. *Or maybe she won’t stop even then* Kris thought and pulled you closer as he could see a car approaching.
“Oh come on Kris; that would have been hilarious” you mused, trying to catch your breath. “You should totally have dressed up like Satan instead of a cop, I mean it’s Halloween after all.”
“You mean just because your mental friend dressed up as Hitler?” Kris raised an eyebrow questioningly.
“Yes!” You exclaimed. “Imagine the both of you living up to your nicknames like that!” you felt your whole body rumble with laughter just by the mere thought.
Kris made a blank face and sped up. “Oh come on hun, don’t be like that!” You chirped and ran after your boyfriend. You caught his arm and hugged it. “Kri Kri Kris?” You sing-songed and smiled adorably at you boyfriend. *Just continue walking Wufan, just keep walking, don’t let her get to you* Kris muttered to himself mentally. He shot a quick glance down at you and caught sight of your big, cute eyes twinkling at him and lips formed into a little pout. You had obviously activated you most high quality aegyo. *Damn* Kris thought and felt his defense tear down piece by piece.
The two of you finally reached Kris’ apartment, but just as he was about to stick in the key, he felt you yank on his sleeve. As he turned around he felt your arms encircle his waist and when he looked down at you the last piece of his so called defense seized to exist. How could someone possibly be as immensely cute as you? *She should have to pay taxes* Kris sighed in his mind.
“Oppa…” as if your sweet voice wasn’t enough, Kris could feel you trace small circles at the back of his spine, sending sparks of electricity from the depths of his every cell being. “Mmm?” Kris mumbled, not really able to comprehend what was going on, or anything else for that matter. All he could think about was you. You holding him close to you, so close your chest were being pressed against the bottom of his sternum. All he could think about was how nice you smelled, the cold night air enhancing the soft fragrance of your perfume but also something that was just you. “Oppa…” you repeated softly. Kris would never admit it out loud, but whenever you called him ‘oppa’ you caused a drastic hormonal change in his body. Kris gulped.
“Are you still mad at me?” you searched Kris eyes with a small, timid smile on your lips. You had just been teasing him, but you guessed after hours of being harassed by Tao and Chen, Kris was at his limit.
Kris could see the hidden worry deep down in your eyes though, so he gave you a soft smile. Frankly, no matter the situation or circumstances given, he found it very hard to be mad at you. It was like going against his own laws of nature, he concluded.
“No, bao bei” Kris lifted you chin with his index finger “I’m not.”
Suddenly you pouted again, a little hint of disappointment riddled in the action. *What now?* Kris thought with confusion running through his mind.
“That’s too bad then…” you mumbled.
Kris almost laughed out loud. Of course.
“And why is that?” Kris tried to keep a straight face, even though knowing exactly what you were aiming for.
“Well…” You began while twirling the tie of Kris’ outfit between your fingers. “I thought you might have to punish me otherwise.” You released his tie and gave him an innocent smile. Kris grinned, not so innocent though. “Oh, I’m sure we can come up with some kind of crime that you’ve committed.”
You bit your lower lip to prevent yourself from smiling way too broad. You were sure the handcuffs Jongdae had given you last Christmas would come in handy tonight. “How… are you going to proceed with your punishment then?” you asked, excitement evident in the pitch of your voice.
“Have you ever handled a gun before?” Kris suddenly asked.
You quirked an eyebrow and laughed lightly while pointing at his empty hip. “Kris, your costume doesn’t even come with a holster, nonetheless a gun.”
You sighed as you finished applying the eyeliner to your right eye. “Because I need to finish my make up before the guys gets here!” you hollered back at your stubborn friend. “You don’t need make up, you’re pretty anyways!” you heard Jae whine, and you could imagine her cross her arms in a patronizing way. “And if Kris doesn’t like you the way you are, I will make sure he suffers a slow and painful death.”
You chuckled to yourself. Jae didn’t consider herself as affectionate or caring, but she could be if she wanted to, you thought. Well, you just had to be indulgent with her countless death threats towards your boyfriend.
Ding dong, ding dong. The door rang again. “Jae, please, just open the door” you begged as you started to fill in the eyeliner on your other eye. “Fine”, you heard a mutter in response.
Jae reluctantly went over to your front door and pulled it open.
“Hey bab—“ Kris stopped midair when he didn’t spot his lovely girlfriend but his arch nemesis instead. The happy expression on his face changed immediately to resemble a dead fish. “Oh, you.”
“Well good evening to you too” Jae dryly greeted. Kris narrowed his eyes. “Where’s Jess? Did you try cooking again and food poisoned her?”
“You fuc---!”
Just as Kris and Jae was about to claw the eyes out of each other, you entered the hallway and the face of your boyfriend underwent a dramatic change from murderous to a love sick puppy. “BAO BEI!” he cried loudly and hurled himself at you, pulling you into his arms for a hug. “I missed you” Kris smiled sweetly while affectionately rubbing his nose against yours. “I missed you too” a happy grin spread on your face and you went on your tippy toes to kiss him.
“If you guys are going to show your tongues down each other’s throats, please don’t do it in front of my innocent eyes.” A monotone voice interrupted.
Both you and Kris turned around and saw that Tao, who had tagged along with Kris, had entered your apartment as well. “Yeah, I agree with panda boy here” Jae commented looking at the both of you in the most disapproving way she could manage.
“Sheesh, it’s not like we’ve never witnessed you and Yixing swap spit before.” Kris glared at Jae. “NOONA, HOW COULD YOU?!” Tao wailed fretfully in disappointment and immediately stepped away from Jae. “Oh god” Jae sighed and rolled her eyes. “Well, at least we don’t go at it like rabbits with insatiable sex appetites, like those two over there.” Jae nodded knowingly at the still hugging couple.
“At least we have a sex appetite” Kris smirked, implying that Jae and her boyfriend still hadn’t done it. Suddenly Jae’s face reminded you very much of a Christmas ornament, or maybe a tomato, but you didn’t have the time to figure out which one before Jae had pulled you and Tao into your living room.
“We’re having a movie night.” Jae firmly stated, throwing daggers with her eyes at Kris when he walked up to you and pulled you away from her. “Tao, did you bring the DVD?”
“Yes! I did!” Tao exclaimed happily. “I got it as fast as it was released, and oh boy, I can’t wait to watch it!” The excited panda boy was almost clapping his hands in pure joy. “Duizhang, here catch!” Tao threw the Evil Dead-case across the living room and Kris had to let go of you so the movie wouldn’t go out the window instead.
While your boyfriend set up the TV and DVD-player, you plopped down on the couch beside Tao. “Mei mei, have you watched this movie?” Tao asked you with big and expectant eyes. “No, I haven’t” you laughed. Tao was too adorable, even though he was a year older. “Waah, that’s good. I heard Jae noona watched it, and according to her it was really, really gross. Lots of gore and blood.” Tao squealed happily as he hugged you in excitement. Yeah, Tao was even adorable despite his huge interest in horror movies.
“Yah! That cable goes into the red hole, not the white one!” you heard Jae nag at your boyfriend.
“No, it doesn’t. How would you know what goes into what hole anyways?” Kris snickered.
“Really, Kris, really?” Jae threw the remote at Kris direction and it smacked him in the back of his head.
Tao and you looked at each other in amusement. Both of you would joke about other people's misery being the only true joy, and watching the arch nemesis of the century battle it out whenever they were breathing the same air was rather entertaining . “Mei mei, how did you even get Jae noona to agree to be stuck in the same room as Kris gege for more than two hours?” You smirked slyly. “I just mentioned Evil Dead.” “Oh yeah right, noona is an even bigger sucker for these movies than I am” Tao laughed.
“Oh my god, you just switch the input channel and then it’s all done.” Jae said flatly after witnessing Kris pondering about why the screen wouldn’t change to DVD mode.
“I knew that.” Kris sneered.
“Hmpf, if you say so” Jae snorted and smiled not so sincerely.
“Guys, are you done yet?” You interrupted. Jae and Kris looked at you and Tao, or more precisely; the empty spot in the couch beside you. Slowly they looked back at each other and in a flash they had both launched at you.
Being a lot smaller and lithe, Jae managed to get the seat beside you first. “HAH!” she exclaimed happily and victorious as she hooked one arm with you and high fived Tao with her other hand.
“Move.” Kris demanded threatfully.
“Nope.”
Kris looked at you with desperate puppy eyes and rubbed his hands together in a pleading manner, hoping you’d side with him on this one. Of course, you could not resist.
“Baby, maybe Jae just wants a hug” you smiled innocently, sending a wink full with innuendo at your boyfriend. Kris caught up with you right away and turned to Jae, who stared frozen at you in disbelief (and with a twitching eye).
“DON’T. YOU. DARE.”
“Is that a challenge?” Kris let a malicious grin tug on his lips. You exchanged a mischievous look with Tao before you decided to add oil to the fire. “I think it is.”
With a shrill scream, Jae bolted out of the couch, running as if she had the Devil himself chasing her (which she actually kind of thought she had.) You and Tao laughed in entertainment as you watched the chase unfold. Kris cackled evilly as though he was starring as the demon in an exorcism movie gone wrong and Jae shrieked about being “betrayed” and how she’d “rather boil herself in acid than have to suffer from physical contact with the spawn of Satan”.
The chase went into your kitchen and after a lot of screaming and cursing, a loud crash was heard and both you and Tao winced. “Ouch, that must’ve hurt.”
“YOU BET IT DID!” A high pitched voice cried as Kris came staggering out of your kitchen, hands clutching to his crotch.
You tried to suppress your giggle while Tao just laughed right out. “Gege, you sound like a girl!”
“Bao bei, your friend is crazy, she threw a frying pan at Wufan Junior” Kris yowled as he slumped down in the couch beside you.
You stared at him for a second before you shook your head. “I’ve already established that my friend is insane, but… Wufan Junior? You’ve named your penis?”
Tao choked on his spit.
“Yeah?” Kris looked at you. “It’s weird calling it just ‘penis’ when you talk to it.”
“Gege, this is not an appropriate subject to talk about in front of minors.” Tao said in a matter of fact-voice. “Shut up panda, you’re not a minor and you’ve named you penis ‘The invincible Kung Fu Stick’ which is really dumb by the way.” Kris stated while making quotation marks in the air with his fingers. “RUUUUUUUDE.” Tao snorted and crossed his arms in protest.
Kris ignored the maknae and pulled you into his lap. “Baby, are you upset?”
“No…” you said quietly as you took a hold of Kris- hands and started to play with his long fingers. “I just thought…” you trailed off and felt your face heat up. A smug smile was elicited on Kris face. “Don’t tell me you wanted to name it?” your boyfriend looked at you for confirmation. The tip of your ears burned in a maroon shade and gave the answer away. *Bingo* Kris grinned.
Tao stared between you and Kris, realizing the situation. “Uhm, guys, I think I’m going to help Jae noona with whatever she’s doing in the kitchen, so… yeah, bye!” Tao said hurriedly as he got up from the couch stalking to the kitchen, leaving you and Kris to your own business.
As soon as Tao had left the room Kris pushed you down on the couch, knocking his forehead tenderly against yours.
“Well then” he whispered in a low and husky voice while letting his nose trail your jaw line. “What do you say about re-naming Wufan Junior together?”
You encircled your arms around Kris neck while looking up at him with a knowing grin. “That sounds like a perfect idea.”
“Come on Kris” you whined as you pulled your recalcitrant boyfriend into the wholesaler shop. It always amazed Kris how surprisingly strong you were, despite your disadvantage in both height and muscles. Kris sighed as you put a shopping cart in his hands and then skipped down the aisles, not bothering to pull him along anymore since you knew he’d be worried about you getting lost and end up following you anyways. “Bao bei, wait up!” Kris hollered in alarm as he saw you disappear somewhere between the toilet paper and espresso machines.
As soon as he caught up with you, a multi pack of plastic pots were dumped into the cart. Kris picked them up again and looked questioningly at you. “Hello, newly promoted landscaper?” you said in a ‘duh’-tone while snatching your pots back, hugging them close to your chest. “Doesn’t your company provide you with those?” Kris said, annoyed that his money would be spent on stupid pots instead of important stuff such as BB cream or Armani suits. “Yeah, but not this kind…” You looked up at your boyfriend expectantly. “Please Kris, please?”
Kris narrowed his eyes at you. *Wufan. Don’t give in. You’re a man; A manly man.* he chanted mentally to himself. “Pleeeease? Oppa?” you said with puppy eyes and a protruding lower lip, putting on your best high quality aegyo. Kris sighed in defeat, feeling the last of his resistance crumble down. “Okay, fine.” Kris yanked the pots out of your embrace and put them back into the cart. *You’re a marshmallow Wufan, a powerless honey coated marshmallow* Kris mentally muttered to himself while shaking his head.
“Oppa!”
“What?”
Suddenly you were on your tippy toes and tugging him down and an innocent peck was placed on his cheek. “Thank you.” You smiled brightly at your boyfriend before skipping away down the aisles once again. Kris felt his heart put on a dubstep track and a wide grin placed itself on his face. *Silly girl*
After catching up with you again, Kris was able to walk leisurely beside you as you put down necessities such as coffee, towels, soap and so on. He was totally okay with buying stuff like this, things that you’d really need. He didn’t consider himself as close-fisted, but money was something that came along with responsibility.
Letting you into a store wasn’t always that good for his economy, not that you were very profligate, but you tendered to let your excitement get the best of you. Like that one time you wanted to go hiking and Kris ended up buying a tent and other camping necessities. He also ended up attacked by a family of raccoons (stupid animals should find food somewhere else and not in Wufan’s cooler bag, he stated) and the tent ended up… well, he didn’t exactly know where it ended up, since you had accidentally dropped the packed tent-bag in the river.
This was why he couldn’t help himself from palming his own face when he saw your eyes getting that familiar twinkle as you caught sight of the new camping equipment of the season, conveniently displayed in the middle of the shop. “Baby-“ he began, but suddenly there was a new tent bag and two sleeping bags placed in the cart.
“Seriously Jess?” Kris asked you flatly.
“What?” you smiled amicably. “I thought it would be fun to go camping again? It was really funny last autumn when we camped by that river and it was hilarious watching you go a wrestling game against those badgers.”
“I wouldn’t call that fun exactly” Kris rolled his eyes. “And it was raccoons.”
“Yeah yeah, whatever, you still lost against a small mammal” you teased.
“Hey! It wasn’t just ‘a small mammal’; it was a pack of small mammals!” Kris whined in defense and turned away from you.
*Oh you giant baby* you thought as you caught your boyfriend and turned him back to you. “Okay Kris, what if we go to another forest this time? And we lock the food in our car?” You asked as you wrapped your arms around his waist. “Well… maybe… but, can’t we just stay at home and rent a movie or something?” Kris pouted down at you. (Yes, he pouted – which you by the way found very adorable.)
“Oh come on oppa, it wasn’t that bad.” You contradicted. “It’s only healthy with fresh air and getting out of the city once in a while. I think spending time out in the nature is only good for us.”
”Yeah I like nature and all that, but I just... I just don’t like, you know, sleeping on the ground.” Kris fidgeted; stumbling as you suddenly tightened your grip of him, pulling him snug against yourself. You raised an eyebrow at his argument and smirked. “Who said anything about sleeping?”
A/N: Idek what I just wrote, but yeah, here we go:
-----
"Kris oppa, hurry up!" you roughly pounded the locked door.
"Yeah yeah hang on a sec, I'll be out in 5 minutes!" came the response.
You blew your bangs with an irritated expression on your face. Didn't he say that ten minutes ago?! You glared at the door as if it had done you personally wrong. Did it really take that long to wash up and change? You knew Kris cared a lot about his appearance, but not this much. It almost felt like he was being the girlfriend in this relationship instead of you. *For godness sake, we're just gonna go to the super market down the street and buy som night snacks* you thought in annoyance as you sunk down by the door to wait.
Fifteen minutes passed by, and still no Kris.
Frustrated, you stood up. Your tummy was growling due to the hunger and as much as you loved your boyfriend, nothing should come between you and your precious food. If Kris didn't get his hot ass out any time soon, your were pretty sure you'd break the damn door down.
"Oppaaaaa~!" you whined loudly.
"Yeah, what is it?"
*asfkh, 'WHAT. IS. IT'?!?!* you furiously thought as you felt you patience come to an end.
"YAAAAH! WU YI FAN YOU BB-CREAM OBSESSED DIPLODOCUS, YOU BETTER GET OUT IN THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL TIE YOU UP ON A FREAKIN' CHAIR AND MAKE YOU WATCH WHILE I TEAR THE STUFFING OUT OF THAT STUPID ALPACA OF YOURS!"
At your sudden outburst and attempt to threaten him, Kris laughed, cleary entertained. "Do you really think you'd be able to tie me up? You? Who's barely half my height?" You could hear him guffaw. "And yeah you could try to go berserk on my Ace, but he's in China right now so... nope. That won't happen either, but maybe ne-"
"DON'T YOU DARE TO 'MAYBE NEXT TIME' ME, YOU FUC*#¤%"¤%" you started throwing insults like that would actually make the bitch faced diva dress faster.
On the other side of the door, Kris was laughing so violently that he could barely stand up. Your yelling and whining was the epitome of amusement to him, since one of his favorite hobbies was to tease you. He shook his head with a smile. *Silly bao bei*
Since he could hear your offensive yelling die down, he decided that maybe it was time go actually start getting ready. With only his underwear on, he made his way to the wardrobe to pick some decent clothes out. After putting on a pair of black jeans he had to decide which of his dress shirts he was gonna wear. "Hmm...."
Just as Kris was about to pick out a blue denim shirt, he heard a click and the door burst open.
"KRIS, YOU SON OF A-" The key dropped from your hand and all your accusations drained as you took in the sight of a topless Kris. *HOLY MOTHER---!*
With a burning face you quickly turned around to let your back face Kris and his... less appropriate condition in terms of clothing. "Uhm, Kris... hurry up and dress, yeh?"
Kris let a smirk play on his lips.
"What?" You don't like what you see?" Kris' deep voice practically dripped with sex appeal and you had a very hard time to breathe normally. "I bet tons of other fangirls would just love to see me shirtless!" Kris stated and wiggled his eyebrows.
You gulped. *Yeah, maybe that, but I'm not just an 'other fangirl', I'm your girlfriend and I'd want to see you naked.*
"Oppa... maybe you should put on some clothes..."
"Hmm? But I'm wearing pants."
"Yeah, but a shirt too... uhm, or else you're gonna get cold" you fibbed as you played with the hem of your shirt, still not facing him.
Suddenly, there was a warm presence behind you. "Then maybe you could keep me warm like this" Kris suggested as he wrapped his arms around you from behind. You inhaled slowly, trying to calm your racing heart. It felt like it would pop out of your chest at any moment, and Kris' alluring scent didn't make it any better.
"Seriously Kris, stop" you whimpered helplessly as you tried to squirm out of his firm grip on you.
"Why? I don't feel like it" Kris squeezed you closer and you could feel the varmth radiating from his bare chest on your back.
"But if you keep hugging me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and attack you" you said in a low voice, mostly to yourself.
But Kris heard.
With a grin etched on his flawless face, he bent forwards and you could feel his breath hot against your ear.
"But baby" he whispered, "what if I don't want you to control yourself?"
