his grip tightened, a groan escaping his lips as a silent protest. he doesn’t want him to go he resorted to pulling a terrible act of being wounded puppy. “nothing. it’ll feel worse if you go.” he answered, fingers clung to the hem of shigeo’s shirt. he’s a tough leech to shake.

⠀shigeo immediately pressed a hand against his own forehead, then used the other to measure seunghyun's temperature. at least he didn't seem to have a fever. “ what is it that you're feeling? should i go get some meds for you? ”
⠀
he needed a shuteye— that was the excuse he had prepared in case shigeo retracts from his touch which to his surprise, didn’t happen. he hummed softly, nestling closer to his smaller frame. “ a bit. i think i fell under the weather. ”
@blmished i’m not. the puppy does look like you. mostly it’s your eyes. should we give him a name? it’ll be nice if he can look after you while you’re at work. ( he crouched down to pick the puppy up, cautiously so yet the puppy dodged his touch, its teeth sinking on his finger. )
as terrifying as he is be deemed powerless against someone? “ you look .. ” he swallowed hard, finally mustering courage to drown on those pools that pulled him in. “ 𝓫eautiful. ” it was a gentle whisper, the tips of his ears flushing of deep red color at his confession.
his gaze stayed on shigeo’s cheek, attempting his best to avoid the eyes that searched for answers. their position put him at a slight advantage. with his smaller frame being pressed against him, although still bearable, his heart beat still remained unstable. how can someone ..

⠀𝘩𝘶𝘩? seunghyun was one to often do that; he'd start a sentence, and immediately go quiet after, most of the time leaving him to wonder what he was trying to say. this time, however, he couldn't help but lean, as if meeting their eyes could give him an answer. “ yes? ”
⠀
@blmished he glad with his choice. after all, he bought that design because it reminded him of shigeo. calloused fingers were quick to work, carefully peeling each strip and gently placing them on his shigeo’s cheek. “ you look .. ” adorable is what he wanted to say but was shy too say so.
