[August 8] [Super Junior] sunflower
Title: sunflower
Day/Theme: August 8 / escape all that waiting and staying
Series: Super Junior
Character/Pairing: Sungmin/Ryeowook, Kyuhyun
Rating: T
Dinner was an awkward affair. Sungmin had cooked, much to Ryeowook's surprise, and that left Ryeowook and Kyuhyun to their own devices while Sungmin busied himself in the kitchen. The smell of bulgogi wafted into the living room, but Ryeowook had no appetite for it. At least an hour's worth of tense silence resulted from Sungmin's absence, Kyuhyun being the type to keep strangers at bay, regardless of their connections to family members, and Ryeowook not feeling particularly fond of new people with personal grudges against his presence. The only sound that came from their lips were their yawns, and the rest of the hour was spent with their gazes fixed at the television, in Ryeowook's case, or at a PSP, in Kyuhyun's. Ryeowook managed to sneak a few looks at his companion, but they never lingered for too long, out of his own discomfort and his lack of enthusiasm in sparking confrontations. It was, all in all, an uneventful way to spend the evening.
Especially if you only had a few more days to live, Ryeowook thought with some bitterness, staring at his wrists as if willing his body to suppress any sudden signs of his condition. He wasn't sure he would be able to take Kyuhyun's pity, or his disgust. The worst case scenario would be that Kyuhyun would be indifferent to it all, and Ryeowook hated having to play the game of politeness. Ryeowook was itching to get out of here.
When they took their seats at the table, Ryeowook sat beside Sungmin and stared at the vase of sunflowers on the table while Sungmin and Kyuhyun exchanged stories. Sungmin, mostly. Ryeowook wasn't listening, not attentively, anyway, but he knew when to nod his head or when to laugh on cue, and if the laughter was weak and hollow, he could always blame it on fatigue. Sungmin started to talk about the last family trip they ever had at the lake a good fifteen minutes' walk away from the house when Kyuhyun finally participated and contested the actuality of the event.
"We were at the lake and you fell in it," Sungmin said.
"I did?" Kyuhyun said, eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah, you did," Sungmin said, "and I felt bad for joking about you deserving it because you never wanted to play with me. You were always holed up in your room with your gameboy," Sungmin's eyes turned to the PSP beside Kyuhyun's plate, and he laughed, "even now, that still hasn't changed."
"I don't remember that," Kyuhyun said, thoughtfully tapping the tip of his chopsticks to his lower lip, the blunt edge pressing into the soft skin. Ryeowook's eyes involuntarily followed the motion, only to look away moments later.
"It was a long time ago," Sungmin said. Kyuhyun frowned, still unconvinced.
"If you're sure..." Kyuhyun trailed off, turning back to his plate. The quick glance he'd given Ryeowook was enough to tell Ryeowook that Kyuhyun knew he was being watched, but he didn't bring it up, at least.
