Between Pastries & Binary Codes | CaptainxTae

♡ 1. ♡

There was none of that tonight and Captain was confused.

As he walked further into the corridor and past the kitchen, he caught a glimpse of the boy curled up in almost a fetal position, hugging himself and snoozing away on the sofa.

A soft smile appeared on his lips and he walked up, discarding his suitcase and coat on a nearby chair, before he made himself comfortable down on the floor in front of Tae.

He sat there cross legged for a few minutes, just looking at him.

His pretty nose, his fluttering eyelashes, the fierce eyebrows, the poutiest lips to ever exist and the tiny freckles adorning his milky white skin.

He looked like a dream to him, a dream he suddenly needed to hold onto.

The boy was still wearing his glasses, must have fallen asleep without realizing.

Captain reached out to remove them for him but halted his movements mid air when Tae stirred in his sleep and mumbled something almost incoherent.

Anyone else would have missed it but not Captain, not the man that paid attention to every tiny little thing Tae did or had to say.

He had mumbled his name, ever so gently like a prayer.

Before he could stop himself, Captain reached out his hand and cupped Tae's cheek, rubbing tiny circles with his thumb. He doesn't know what possessed him to do what he did next, but it was like he had no control over his body.

Something tugged at his entire being and pushed him towards his Nong with incredible force.

He pulled out a blanket from his suitcase and draped it over him, before he scooted onto the sofa and laid down right next to him, looking right at his pretty face.

The sofa didn't have enough space for 2 people but Captain squeezed in closer until he was inches away from Tae's face- their bodies touching at every point of contact as he felt his heart trying to escape his chest.

He thought he might die right at that moment from his heart doing somersaults. He closed his eyes trying to calm himself down- it did nothing.

And Tae was entirely oblivious to the battle happening right in front of his face.

How can he sleep so peacefully when I feel like I'm running a marathon just from staring at him?

He brought his index finger up, no idea what he wanted to do with it. He just slowly traced it down his nose and lips- his touch was feather light as if he would hurt this precious being otherwise.

Yeah that was definitely not helping his poor heart that screamed at him to kiss him at that moment.

He pushed the weird thoughts away, he'd never kiss anyone while unconscious.

And especially not his Tae.

Right as he was about to lose his damn mind fighting with his impulses, Tae stirred and started mumbling more things in his sleep. Things that made Captain confused but also washed him over with immense guilt.

"Captain.." Tae said in his dream world- with a pained voice.

"Don't leave me..." his tiny fragile voice cracked. Was he dreaming about him? Did leaving made Tae sad enough to whimper in his sleep?

"Please don't leave." came out in a breathless panic and Captain instantly wrapped his arms around him and pulled him into his chest- stroking his hair and patting his back gently.

"Shh It's okay Tae, I'm here, I'm not leaving you." he whispered in his ear and that seemed to calm him down as his breathing became more even and the soft sounds of his snores were filling the room in no time.

He thought leaving would be best for Tae. Giving him the space he needed instead of annoying him, but maybe he was wrong.

The boy seemed distressed. Even if it was only in his sleep, he knew this meant he's hurt outside of it as well.

He willed himself to stop thinking for the time being and buried himself in the intoxicating presence of his Tae.

Yeah he was screwed, he definitely couldn't control his feelings anymore.

Now that he got a taste of him in his arms, it's gonna be impossible to not crave for it every waking hour.

Soon, Captain was pulled under a sleep spell and had the best sleep of his life, cradling the person that's made a tiny cocoon for himself in his heart.

He didn't know what would happen once morning came, but he knew he didn't want any of this to end- and he couldn't help but hope that maybe Tae felt the same way.
