I JUST WANT YOU TO STAY..

Beomgu placed both the covers in front of Yeonjun. "We somehow have the same phones now, and here's your chance to choose a phone cover for yourself"

Yeonjun looked at beomgyu with starry eyes. "Really?"
"Go on"

Yeonjun contemplated and then chose the bear one. Beomgyu smiled and nodded, putting on the cat cover on his phone.

Beomgyu and Yeonjun walked outside, Yeonjun said, "save your number in this", Beomgyu nodded and saved it as master.

Yeonjun chuckled. Beomgyu saved Yeonjun's in his phone.

Both boys walked into a convenience store and yeonjun followed Beomgyu around. Yeonjun said, "this is my first time-"
"You're doing a lots of firsts with me"
Yeonjun nodded. Beomgyu suddenly widened his eyes and pulled Yeonjun with him, looking around in panic, "we need to hide!"
"Why-"
Beomgyu dragged Yeonjun into the restroom. He sighed. Yeonjun held Beomgyu's waist, "What happened?", Yeonjun whispered.

"My crush is here"
"Oh. Why are we hiding though?"
Beomgyu thought about it.

"I don't know, maybe I just don't want to face him"
Yeonjun nodded and held Beomgyu, who was peeking around, tightly.

Beomgyu said, "I'm sorry I am making you do all-"
"It's fine, you're my master"

Beomgyu smiled. After a few minutes both boys walked out, bought the stuff and went back home.

Yeonjun said, "It's been a while I spent such long time as a human"
"I guess me being around actually helps"
Yeonjun nodded.

"Do you want to watch a movie? I bought instant popcorn!", Beomgyu asked.

Yeonjun nodded, "sure"

Yeonjun plopped on the couch beside Beomgyu after both boys had freshened up and changed. Beomgyu was picking what to watch.

"Is it your first time watching a movie with someone, too?"
"No, I've done this before"
"It's my first though", Beomgyu said shyly. Yeonjun chuckled.

"So..what genre do you like?", Beomgyu asked. Yeonjun thought about it, "I'm fine with everything but horror"
"You don't like horror movies?"
"Well..."
"Is my Jun a scaredy cat?", Beomgyu petted Yeonjun's hair. Yeonjun scoffed and pulled away, holding Beomgyu's hand, "Nah, try me"
"Should I put on a horror movie?"
"Go ahead"

Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun and smirked. "To be honest, never mind, I don't want to see you scared", Beomgyu held Yeonjun's chin. Yeonjun rolled his eyes as he turned his face away.

Beomgyu smiled and put on The Notebook.

He closed the lights and sat beside Yeonjun. "Hyung, can I rest on your lap?", Beomgyu asked. Yeonjun replied with a nod, too immersed in the movie.

Beomgyu smiled and made space for himself, resting his head on Yeonjun's lap. Yeonjun chuckled at a scene and said, "Beomgyu! Look, it's so adorable"

"Beomgyu..are you even- nah, he has fallen asleep", Yeonjun looked at Beomgyu. "We're not even half way in", Yeonjun completed watching the rest of the movie, petting Beomgyu's hair constantly.

Beomgyu had insomnia and now, he had a solution. Both boys were somehow in a symbiotic relationship.

Yeonjun closed the TV and looked below at Beomgyu. "You. You're so adorable, how the fuck do you not have friends? People are blind and unaware", Yeonjun talked softly.

"You know beomgyu, I will have to leave soon, and I felt it when I told you, you weren't glad to hear that, I mean obviously if you'd be glad, I would feel offended. But I know you understand my situation. These days, living with you has been so so so fun. I have never felt so comfortable with anyone before. But somehow, I have never hesitated to be physically intimate to you, to remind you, I'm not a big fan of that. I hope we can be friends later, are we friends though? I hope we are. You might feel burdened thinking about me. It's actually like raising a pet, and I don't want to tire you anymore, I've read the tints of sadness in your optimistic words. I know what you've been through, and I want everything good to happen to you, I also hope that your silly crush starts liking you back", Yeonjun chuckled. Beomgyu moved a little.

"You might be uncomfortable, I'll take you to your room?", Yeonjun picked beomgyu up, afraid that he'd turn into a cat anytime soon.

Yeonjun placed Beomgyu on the bed and covered him with a blanket. Yeonjun walked out of the room and turned into a cat.

Beomgyu opened his eyes and pouted, covering his face with the blanket, not wanting to think about anything.

Beomgyu woke up and walked to Yeonjun's room, he saw no one there. He pouted, "Yes I know you want to leave me, but not anytime soon"

Beomgyu looked around the whole house, he was unable to find Yeonjun. Beomgyu sat on the chair, "Junnie, are you in your cat form? You're not in trouble are you?", Beomgyu plopped his head down on the table, resisting his tears.

The bell rang, Beomgyu got up and opened the door to see Yeonjun standing with a cloth bag in his hand. He walked inside and removed his shoes, "Goodmorning, your eyes look puffy, did you not get good sleep?"

Beomgyu didn't reply.

Yeonjun walked to the kitchen and yelled, "I was able to buy myself stuff for the first time, I owe you that"

"Why aren't you answering?", Yeonjun walked towards the door to see Beomgyu standing with his head hung low.

"Beomgyu, what is it? Did you have a nightmare?", Yeonjun looked carefully. Beomgyu held the hem of Yeonjun's sleeve and looked up, "You scared me for a moment"
"I?"
"I thought you went away, I thought you got into some trouble again-", Yeonjun sighed with a small smile on his face, he held the younger's face, "I won't. I mean, I won't leave without informing you beoms"
Yeonjun hugged Beomgyu. Beomgyu started crying.

"You don't need to cry, come on, don't be a baby"
"Let me be a baby with you, I have never been cared for before. No one ever treated me with maturity like you do! Please keep caring for me and let me act like a baby, in front of you"

Yeonjun chuckled, "Alright, baby"

... BECAUSE YOU MAKE ME FEEL SAFE
