A thunderous screech breaches the peace and quiet of Baekhyun’s tiny room, and he flails awake in a desperate tangle of sheets, eventually falling to the floor. “Wah?”
The digital clock on his bedside table shows it’s around one am. He’d been asleep since six pm and would’ve kept going if it wasn’t for—
Jongdae’s high pitched scream comes again.
Baekhyun groans, untangles himself, and goes in search of his bandmate. The loudmouth is inside the bathroom, dangling from the sink cabinet where he’s climbed onto. He’s wearing a towel around his waist and nothing else. “Jongdae, what the hell?”
“Baek! Don’t come in!” Jongdae shoots an arm out to stop him. “It’ll eat you!”
Baekhyun rubs sleep from his eyes and steps inside. “What are you talking about?”
“Nooooooo!” Jongdae jumps onto his back, circling his arms around Baekhyun’s neck and almost choking him. They struggle for a few seconds and inevitably fall to the floor in a tangle of limbs.
Baekhyun scrambles to hold himself above Jongdae so as to not crush him. “Idiot. Are you okay?” The first thing he notices is Jongdae’s flushed face and wide eyes. The second thing he notices is the towel lying beside them and no longer around Jongdae’s waist. The third and last thing he notices is how close their crotches are. “Um…”
Footsteps from outside, and then Kyungsoo peaks into the bathroom. “What sort of kinky-fuckery are you guys up to with the door open?”
Baekhyun chokes on his own spit and rushes to get away from Jongdae, smacking against the wall. He grabs the towel and throws it over Jongdae’s thighs.
“Soo! Save us!” Jongdae exclaims, apparently uncaring of his naked state or the fact that his bare dick had been against Baekhyun’s groin. “There’s a huge spider in the tub!”
Kyungsoo blinks slowly like he does every time he’s trying to process the stupid dribbling out of people’s mouths. He sighs, walks into the bathroom past them, and reaches into the bathtub. “You mean the very obvious plastic spider Junmyeon left there to scare people?”
Baekhyun glares at Jongdae. “Fill the tub, Soo. I’m going to drown this moron.”
“Fill it yourself.” Kyungsoo throws the spider in their faces and leaves. “And close the door for fucks sake!”
Picking up himself off the floor, Baekhyun refuses to look anywhere near Jongdae. “Uh, so…I’ll just leave you to…yeah, bye.”
Jongdae grips the back of Baekhyun’s shirt as he passes by. “Baek?”
“Yeah?”
“Don’t you need to shower too?” Jongdae lets go of the shirt, but steps closer, his body heat brushing along Baekhyun’s arm. “You can come in if you want. I don’t mind sharing.”
Baekhyun holds back a full-body shiver. “Y-Yeah, okay. Let me just…get my towel.”
After exciting the bathroom and closing the door behind, Baekhyun leans against it and closes his eyes. His heart is beating oddly fast and he has the strangest urge to grin.
From inside comes Jongdae’s short squeal and a “Fuck yes!”
