hakyeon/hongbin

• the curvature of our lives (pg-15)
  • hongbin’s no stranger to the practice of parkour, even if it did begin as a way for his punk ass to get to class on time when he was twelve. he’s damn good at it too, he’ll daresay, but then he meets hakyeon, who whirls through the air and tiptoes his way across impossible surfaces, and finds that there’s perhaps something else he’s come to fall in love with in his life. ✧✧✧
• entreaty and effort (pg)
  • the world rushes back to hakyeon, jostling him back into himself. he turns halfway around and aims a grateful smile at hongbin. "finish chopping those onions, would you? and the carrots. see how much time is on the rice cooker."

  • in their dance studio, hakyeon logs hour after hour of practice, finessing every line of himself until he's as close to perfect as hakyeon can be, and closer than anyone else. hongbin's being called art, but hakyeon makes himself art in the face of you're here to dance.

  • introverts, a little in love.
• take more of me (pg-15)
  • hongbin tries to mask his underlying misery with dull familiarity, drinking at the same damn bar of his regular nightclub every week in order to sense the faintest feigned feeling of happiness, with little success.
