Whispers Of Regret | Hyunlix

Fleurir - To Bloom

Aimer, ce n'est pas se regarder l'un l'autre, c'est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.

Translation: "Love is not looking at each other, it's looking together in the same direction."

"Why are you standing there? I promise I won't bite," the ravenette quirked his eyebrows at the younger, who stood before him in adorable animal-print pajamas, his hair tied up in a small bun. With a frown, the blonde stomped toward the bed and lay down, mindful of the limited space that threatened to send him tumbling off with one wrong move. The ravenette sighed, wrapping his arm around the blonde and drawing him closer. "Hwang, what are you doing?"

"Shhh, you'll fall down if you sleep like that," the ravenette mumbled softly, his concern evident in the gentle tone of his voice. The blonde emitted a disgruntled sound. "Fine, now take your hands off me," he grumbled, his irritation evident.

The older shook his head, inhaling deeply as he found solace in the comforting scent of vanilla emanating from the younger's hair. "No, I like it this way," a hint of affection in his words.

Drawing another deep breath, the blonde closed his eyes momentarily before reopening them, his gaze now firm. "Hwang Hyunjin, you better take your hands off me or I'll kick you out of bed," he warned.

Deciding it was wiser not to provoke the younger further, the ravenette hesitantly unwrapped his arms.

As they lay there, their bodies pressed together, the ravenette couldn't help but steal glances at the younger, whose back was facing him. The room was shrouded in serene silence, broken only by the gentle rhythm of their breathing.

The ravenette's gaze lingered on the younger's profile, illuminated faintly by the moonlight filtering through the window. He marveled at the calmness of the moment, feeling a sense of peace wash over him in the stillness of the night.

Beside him, the blonde lay motionless, lost in the depths of his own thoughts. Despite the silence that enveloped them, there was a connection, a silent understanding that went beyond words.

As they lay there, bathed in the soft glow of the moon, the ravenette couldn't help but feel grateful for the presence of the younger by his side.

"Lix... are you sleeping?" The ravenette mumbled softly. The blonde sighed, his voice tinged with weariness as he responded, "What do you want, Hyunjin?" Turning to face the older, he searched his gaze, finding it filled with an emotion he couldn't quite decipher.

Before he could question further, he heard a barely audible whisper escape the ravenette's lips, carrying with it a vulnerability he hadn't expected. "I missed you..."

The room felt suffocating, heavy with unspoken tension as the younger's eyes widened, his heart pounding erratically against his chest. They locked gazes, and Hyunjin's eyes held a depth of fragility, pain, and guilt that pierced through the stillness.
