Open Up (Jaeyong) [Complete]

ten

Jaehyun could feel Taeyong's pain radiating around them like a cloud.

Taeyong's body began to shake as sobs tried to fight their way to the surface.

"God, Taeyong."

"Its okay, Jaehyun, I'm used to it, I really am. It doesn't hurt so much when I forget about it. Let me forget, okay?"

Taeyong wiped his wet sleeve over his face, trying to wipe away the tears that had started falling again.

"Shit, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say all that. Sorry."

"No, don't be sorry."

Taeyong looked up at Jaehyun with a sad smile.

"I wish you hadn't seen me like this. You are the one person I never wanted to think of me as weak."

"Fuck, Taeyong!"

Jaehyun grabbed Taeyong's hair and pulled him into a kiss full of wanting and promise.

Taeyong tried to pull away, then moaned low in his throat, a sound of surrender, his hands gripping the tree behind him for support.

Jaehyun pulled back, his eyes angry.

"You really are fucked-up, aren't you?"

Taeyong's eyes fell way with shame.

"No, no, don't clam up on me, now. You've had your say, now I'll have mine. Your father may have fucked you up pretty good, but your strength has brought you this far and made you who you were. Under all the crap he has given you over the years, you never broke. You didn't push that blade in, you didn't give in, remember that. You're stronger than you think you are. Hell, without his prodding, I might never have met the Taeyong that is you today. Remind me to thank him."

Taeyong laughed. It was a beautiful sound.

"You can fall apart on me anytime you want, okay? I will never think you are weak because of it, never. Don't insult me by thinking that I might. As for being a coward, it was no coward that kneed me a week ago."

Taeyong blushed and tried to hide his smile.

"You were being an ass! You kissed me, what was I supposed to do? Just let you do it?"

"You didn't seem to mind it a moment ago."
Taeyong blushed even redder, realizing Jaehyun was right.

"Face it, beautiful. I plan on seducing you every chance I get and until I get you to admit that you want me just as badly as I want you, I'm going to take liberties that will make you blush down to your toes. And there is nothing you can do about it to stop me."

Taeyong worked his mouth a couple of times before sound came out.

"Jaehyun, I, um, you're my best friend. I couldn't imagine my life without you, I mean you get me through, you always have. Last night was," Taeyong looked away for a moment before bringing his eyes back to Jaehyun. "Last night was great, but we're both guys, and... And..."

"And it feels great. Just enjoy it and let it go wherever it's going to go, Taeyong. Don't try to fight it, don't try and make excuses."

Jaehyun kissed the end of Taeyong's nose.

"I know you better than anyone. You can run, but you can't hide. Not from me."

Flustered barely described what Taeyong was feeling at that moment. But it felt better than what he had been feeling a moment ago. Only Jaehyun seemed to be able to make him forget his troubles so quickly.

Taeyong smiled and tapped at Jaehyun's hand that still clutched his shirt.

"Um, do you plan on letting me go sometime soon, or are we going to stay out here and drown?"

Jaehyun's smile was slow and predatory.

"I kind of like you just where I've got you, to tell you the truth."

"But, but-" Taeyong started to stutter.

Jaehyun's other hand grabbed the back of Taeyong's neck and pulled him into another kiss, this one slower and softer.

Jaehyun leaned in against Taeyong, pressing him farther into the tree. Satisfied with the state of arousal Taeyong was in, Jaehyun pushed away and let him go.

It left Taeyong breathless, wanting more and harder than Hell. Even his head wasn't sure he should argue this attraction anymore.

"You know, maybe we should get inside. Wouldn't want to catch a cold out here, you know?"

Without waiting for Taeyong to respond, he turned on his heel and went into the house, leaving Taeyong speechless in the rain.

Taeyong watched Jaehyun disappear into the house with a feeling of disappointment that he didn't really understand.

Shaking his head, he pushed away from the tree, turning his face up into the rain.

"That was just mean."

With a smile, he walked into the house.
