Kissing You

Chapter 8

Hesitantly, Tony pulled away from the kiss, keeping WooHyuk's body tightly to himself. "Last night," he whispered into the small space between them, "you said something to me. You told me you loved me. I need to know if you meant that. I need to know if you will regret this tomorrow."

WooHyuk pulled slightly away, his hands still running slowly up and down Tony's sides in an absentminded sort of way moreso than anything sexual. He looked away from Tony, trying to gather his thoughts when all he wanted to do was pour his heart out to Tony and tell him every loving thought he'd ever had toward him. Tony's serious tone was bringing his high to a crashing low.

WooHyuk leaned his forehead agianst the wall next to Tony's head. He took a deep breath, then began quietly, "I meant what I said. But I'd figured you'd forgotten. Or figured I'd said it like you had, you know, heat of the moment. But I know I'll regret this in the morning." WooHyuk pulled further away, his hands slipping from Tony. "Just like last night. I'll just be showing myself what I can never have." He was looking at Tony now, his breathing shallow as he nervously waited for Tony to react to his confession.

"What if you can have it?" Tony pushed away from the wall, stepping close to WooHyuk. "What if I meant it, too?"

WooHyuk shook his head. "Don't play around."

Tony kissed WooHyuk briefly, then brought his lips to the front of Woohyuk's neck, whispering, "I love you too, WooHyuk."

WooHyuk gently pulled Tony away from himself. "Tony, you're only saying that because of the Ecstasy."

"No, I'm not," Tony shook his head, the faraway look WooHyuk had seen in In's eyes earlier that night now present in Tony's. "I love you and I always will."

WooHyuk sighed softly. "I have an idea. How about we sleep on it, okay? Then in the morning you can tell me if you still mean that."

"Okay," Tony agreed, glancing away. "Besides, I'd rather we had this conversation in our right minds anyway."

WooHyuk followed Tony down the hall, spouting out a quick, "Goodnight," as he passed Tony's room.

"Wait," Tony touched WooHyuk's arm.

WooHyuk turned back.

Tony slipped his fingers around WooHyuk's arm, pulling WooHyuk toward himself and taking a step backward into his bedroom. "Stay with me tonight?"

WooHyuk hesitated for only a moment before following Tony into his room. Tony pulled his blanket aside and crawled into his bed, leaving room for WooHyuk. WooHyuk followed suit, crawling up beside Tony. Tony curled against WooHyuk, sighing gently against his neck.

The world was far too bright, and the air felt too damned happy. WooHyuk pulled the blanket over his head and curled against Tony. A moment later, he opened his eyes suddenly and stared down at Tony. Whom he had confessed to the night before while on Ecstasy. Who had, in turn, confessed to him.

WooHyuk closed his eyes and rolled his head away from Tony, heaving a heavy breath before slowly rising from the bed. Careful not to wake Tony up, he stood and placed the blanket over his part of the bed, walking down the too-bright, too-happy hallway until he was behind the closed door of his bedroom. Glancing around the room, he spotted some clean clothes strewn amongst the dirty clothes on his floor. Realising he would have to clean his room sometime during the day, a chore he'd been putting off all weekend, WooHyuk let his chin drop to his chest. Shaking his head, Woohyuk changed quickly and left his room.

Twenty minutes later, Tony slowly opened his eyes, realising two things at once: the world sucked, and he wanted to die. The third and fourth things he realised were that WooHyuk had fallen asleep with him last night, and was gone now. Then the memories of the night before returned to him, and he shut his eyes with a scoff. He'd actually confessed. And Woohyuk didn't even believe him.

Tony rose from his bed and padded across his bedroom, opening his door to the pleasant scent of breakfast cooking. Quickly washing up in the bathroom, Tony made his way to the kitchen, where WooHyuk stood cooking, and looking quite comical, in his pink apron with frills, the one Tony had gotten him as a prank gift one Christmas.

"Hi," Tony said miserably, hating the world.

"Hi," WooHyuk returned with a similar tone.

Tony stepped softly over to WooHyuk, looking over WooHyuk's shoulder at the eggs in the frying pan. "Smells good," he told WooHyuk.

WooHyuk nodded, not wanting to be the first of them to bring up the nght before. As horrible as he felt, he knew he would feel ten times more crappy when Tony told him he hadn't meant what he'd said the night before.

Tony stepped closer to the stove, turning WooHyuk slightly to face him more and pulling him into a kiss. Surprised, WooHyuk stood unmoving until Tony released him. After recovering for a moment, WooHyuk kissed Tony, pulling Tony's body to his own. Tony's arms wrapped around WooHyuk's neck as he returned the kiss forcefully.

The frying pan hissed as the food began to burn. Pulling quickly from Tony, WooHyuk grabbed his spatula and saved the eggs before they were too damaged. Turning off the stove and moving the frying pan off of the stove, WooHyuk turned back to Tony, releasing a quick laugh about the situation.

"I love you," he told Tony.

"I love you, too," Tony replied.

Smiling, he kissed Tony briefly. "Let's eat."

Tony tried to do the dishes. He really tried. But things as mundane as chores, he found, were very hard to do with WooHyuk attached to his neck.

"WooHyukkah~" he whined half-heartedly, leaning back against WooHyuk.

WooHyuk had his arms wrapped around Tony from behind, his lips more or less attacking the right side of Tony's neck, ignoring Tony's plea for him to stop.

"We're never going to get anything done around here ever again," Tony muttered, turning off the tap. He pulled off his gloves, turning around in WooHyuk's arms to face the man. "Could you have waited until I was done?"

WooHyuk brought his lips to Tony's quickly, pulling back and answering, "Nope."

Tony leaned back against the sink, pulling WooHyuk against himself heavily. He kissed him deeply, his tongue finding WooHyuk's. WooHyuk played with Tony's tongue gently. A few moments later, he pulled away from the kiss, tugging on Tony's bottom lips lightly with his teeth.

Tony slipped out from between the sink and WooHyuk, stepping across the kitchen and pulling WooHyuk with him. WooHyuk followed Tony out of the kitchen, down the hall, and into Tony's bedroom, their journey seeming to take forever as WooHyuk insisted they walk without stopping their kissing.

Tony sat onto his bed, shifting backward and pulling WooHyuk down with him. WooHyuk laid Tony back against the pillows, kissing him passionately.

Tony reversed their positions, laying half on top of WooHyuk, kissing him repeatedly.

"I'm sorry I never told you."

"So am I," Tony laughed.

Tony cuddled against WooHyuk, trailing his lips down to WooHyuk's neck. WooHyuk ran his hand through Tony's hair, pressing his neck up to meet Tony's lips. Tony's lips returned to his moments later.

"I love you," he whispered against Tony's lips.

"Saranghae tohan," Tony returned.
