apologies owed | kibum & naoise

Kibum fidgeted outside of the familiar apartment, hesitating for what felt like the 80th time when he prepared himself to knock. He’d had a few days to think about it, replaying the events of the ball in his head as he went about his daily life, and it didn’t take long for him to realize exactly what he’d done to have the boy react the way that he did. It took him quite a bit of time longer, however, to gather up the courage to come apologize to him. He never dealt with apologies correctly so he tended to avoid having to make them at all but he couldn’t allow this one circumstance to continue.

For Kibum, he’d grown up believing that nobody would care about him as much as he could care about himself and that attitude towards his own self-preservation seemed to have finally caught up with him, harming one of the only friendships that he cared to have in the city. It was depressing and it seemed to turn his whole world on it’s head. How many other people did he hurt by being so careless about their feelings, he wondered to himself. The revelation to his own self-centered behavior unnerved him.

Adjusting the small box of tiny cupcakes in one hand and the bouquet of flowers in the other, he raised that hand, knocking at the door with the side of it lightly. He hoped that the boy wouldn’t be so angry with him where he wouldn’t answer the door because as much as he hurt him, unintentionally so, he still cared about him a great deal and he didn’t want to stop being friends with him without first apologizing for his behavior.

It wasn’t Naoise’s fault, after all, that his breakup had left him so screwed up in the head.

“ kiss me ”

"Naoise, I told you already. I have a boyfriend," he said, though his tone wasn't angry, he was more amused. He was a faithful person, he couldn't see himself cheating but he would be a liar if he said that he wasn't attracted to the other male. It was unfair, to him at least, that they'd met after he was taken. But he supposed that was life, there were bound to be things that you wanted but could not have. Taking a few steps towards the other, he raised an eyebrow, watching him for a short moment before leaning in, his lips brushing over his cheek. "That'll have to do for now."

cemetery drive | naoise & kibum

Kibum bit at his bottom lip, worrying it slightly as his feet carried him through the streets of Mount Phoenix. Sleep was evading him yet again, a common problem for the feline, though lately it felt as if the problems were only getting worse. Sighing, he glanced up at the sky, the calmness of the night relaxing the tension in his body. There was an eery silence, one only associated with the dead of night. He knew that it was best for him to be in bed at this point but he was far too restless for sleep and the space of his apartment only served to constrain him while he was in this state.

Stepping into a threshold carefully, he glanced around the area with a slight frown. It was more somber than the rest of the town, he didn’t think that he’d ever ventured into this part of the city before. Though, it had an unnatural silence, he couldn’t help but be soothed by the nature of the place. If he wasn’t so aware of his environment, he could see himself getting a full nights rest in a place like this.

Rubbing at his eye, he slid onto a bench, pulling his knees up onto them to hug them, letting out a slight sigh as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, able to point out slight characteristics of the place. A part of him was happy that nobody was around to see him. He held his appearance as his first priority but in his haste to get out of the stifling atmosphere of his apartment, he’d forgotten to provide himself with some of the essentials. He was in his pajamas, his hair pulled out of his face with clips and his face devoid of his usual light makeup, he would have been embarrassed if he wasn’t so relieved for the fresh air and walk.
