Chapter Text
Storm.
Yeah, just another stormy day.
The leaks were making noises for every water drop that fell from those holes into buckets. It was like 5 in total. The first rainy day they almost drowned.
The apartment’s heating was so weak that you could feel the cold getting into your bones like a person giving you a hard beating.
Seungkwan didn't like the creepy ass sounds the floor made when he walked from the small kitchen to the even smaller apartment with a cup of hot tea in his hands and he will never get used to the harsh sounds of thunder and lightning that sounded even more petrifying with the kind of walls that his home had.
Vernon closed his laptop, the Wi-Fi got even worse when it rained, so he couldn't work on his music right now and well, we weren't even that inspired with the cold making him shiver.
But, oh, when Seungkwan entered the room, both of them smiled like they were in a mansion.
“I made you some tea”. The blonde said, getting into the bed and giving his boyfriend the cup of tea. “It might help you out to get some inspiration for your song”.
“It's okay, the Wi-Fi didn't help me anyway”. Vernon said, taking the cup of tea to warm his hands and taking a sip of it. “Thanks, though, it's delicious”.
Seungkwan smiled proudly and got into his sheets, Vernon took another sip and put the cup in his nightstand, just to get into the sheets with his boyfriend.
“The tea it's gonna get cold”. Seungkwan said, but his body still received the arms of his boyfriend, covering his body like an extra blanket.
“I'll warm it up later”. Vernon responded. “I want to warm you up now”.
Seungkwan smiled and closed his eyes, resting his head in his boyfriend's chest, breathing deep and feeling way better being on Vernon's arms, even more protected when another lighting made a whole harsh sound and Vernon hugged him tightly.
It was like when they were just teenagers.
Every time Seungkwan got scared for a movie, for a person, for a situation, Vernon was there to hug him by his waist, from behind, from his back… It didn't matter the kind of hug, Vernon's arms were always there.
They have been friends since their mothers were friends, we're pregnant and they were in both of their bellies. They have been a couple since high school, when casually they came out of the closet at the same time, Vernon as bisexual and Seungkwan as gay.
And they were together even now, when their families gave them their backs because they decided they wanted to be a school teacher and a singer and music producer and they are living alone in a questionable apartment, with part-time jobs, chasing their dreams since they were out of high school.
Seungkwan finished school, Hansol didn't.
Hansol’s family didn't accept the fact that he was throwing his future to be a songwriter.
Seungkwan’s family didn't accept the fact that he was throwing his future away to be with someone that for them got no future at all.
So they ran away.
And even when they had a small home, food, they earned some money at least to live, Seungkwan was finishing a course related to teaching, Vernon was doing his best to get into the music industry… It wasn't the life they wanted.
But they had each other .
On cold days the overthinking was even more. Even more for Vernon.
“Someday… Someday I will be so famous that people will cry about every single letter I put on my lyrics”. Vernon said, taking his boyfriend’s hand to kiss the back of it. “But every single letter in my lyrics will be dedicated to you”.
Seungkwan giggled, he looked at his boyfriend with a soft smile and Vernon felt like he wanted to give the world to him.
“And I will be a millionaire”. Vernon continues. “I will give you the life you deserve, the life I always dream to give to you”.
Seungkwan rolls his eyes, but he’s smiling. “You already sound like a melancholic singer,” he says, poking Vernon’s cheek lightly.
Vernon grins. “A very handsome one.”
“Debatable,” Seungkwan teases, but his eyes are soft, full of quiet affection and a lot of pure love. “But if you become a millionaire, I expect weekly spa dates. And matching rings. Maybe even a house with a view, close to the gorgeous school I will be working on.”
Vernon laughs. “Deal. But the rings come first.” He said, taking the hand that was in his to lay it down in his chest, making Seungkwan feel the heartbeat inside him.
“It's a deal then”.
