Youngjo stirred awake, his eyes slowly adjusting to being open. He tried to sit up, wanting to see what woke him, but he was stopped by the around wrapped tightly around his torso. He smiled softly, still in a sleepy daze. He blinked a few times to get his eyes adjusted to the dark room, before gently trying to pry Gunhak off himself. He was unable to succeed.

Instead, however, he heard another noise in their apartment and flinched slightly. Gunhak ended up moving from behind him, resulting in the younger waking up.

"Youngjo?" Gunhak questioned, his deep- raspy morning voice causing a small sense of relief to flow through Youngjo. "Why are you awake?" He continued.

"I heard a weird noise out in the living room or kitchen. I can't really tell. I'm going to go see what it is." He said, holding Gunhak's hand, the one on his own chest, and gently lifting it off himself.

"Oh, okay. I'm going to go with you. You know, just in case someone broke in or is planning to do some harm. I don't want anything to happen." Gunhak said, sitting up. Youngjo smiled and ruffled his hair, tugging his (read:Gunhak's) shirt back up his shoulder. Both boys made their way out from under the covers and across their shared bedroom to the door.

A sudden frightened feeling washed over Youngjo as he thought more about Gunhak's words. What if there really was someone out there, waiting to murder them? He hesitated opening the bedroom door, his hand still- placed on the door knob. Gunhak seemed to sense his hesitation, 'cause he placed a hand on the small of Youngjo's back.

"It's alright. Nothing will happen, okay?" He whispered right near Youngjo's ear, placing a small kiss on his again exposed shoulder. Youngjo took a deep breath and nodded, leaning slightly into the familiar, warm touch on his back.

While he opened the door, the cold air of the rest of their apartment hit him, resulting in goosebumps rising in his skin. Gunhak smiled, seeing some of the hairs on the back of Youngjo's neck stick up. He decided to take charge a little more, and grabbed Youngjo's hand. The older had cold hands, freezing cold to the touch. It was a relief against his own warm skin. Although it did leave Gunhak a little surprised.

"Jesus Youngjo, your hands are freezing." He whispered, keeping his voice down for multiple reasons. Youngjo only shrugged as cold air enveloped his bare legs, his lack of pants allowing him to full fledged feel the cold air. He suddenly had a sudden admiration for Gunhak, who was only in his boxers, but seemed perfectly fine.

The two walked side by side out into their living room. No noises were heard again, and neither boy saw anything out of the ordinary. They moved slowly to the kitchen and nothing there seemed different.

"See baby, nothing to worry about." Gunhak said, squeezing Youngjo's hand. The older relaxed a little and nodded. Both boys walked back to their room, laying down. Youngjo laid down first, Gunhak following and instantly wrapping his entire body around the older. Youngjo sunk into the younger's chest, the terrified feeling slowly fading away and out of his body. The goosebumps remained, but only because Gunhak had started to place feathery light kissing on his neck.

"Sleep Youngjo. We both have a day off tomorrow." Gunhak whispered, slowly slipping into the dream world. Youngjo closed his eyes, the feeling of Gunhak's chest rising and falling against his back lulling him to sleep. Despite the small feeling of uncertainty in his chest.

When the two woke up, it was around a span of about three minutes to one another, it was 10:30 in the morning. They both laid in bed for a little while longer, enjoying the peace and just relishing in the presence of each other. Youngjo finally did move though, stating he had to pee. Gunhak reluctantly let go of him.
