[August 13] [Super Junior] tulip
Title: tulip
Day/Theme: August 13 / life is short and the world is wide
Series: Super Junior
Character/Pairing: Kyuhyun/Ryeowook, Sungmin/Ryeowook
Rating: T
When they came back that evening, Sungmin had gone straight to bed, leaving their things in the hallway. Most of the bags weren't Ryeowook's, but he bore the bags without much complaint. He turned down Kyuhyun's offer of helping him carry them, and when he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Kyuhyun had already heated up noodles he'd cooked while they were out.
"Sorry to trouble you," Ryeowook said, awkwardly hanging back in the doorway of the kitchen.
"It's no bother," Kyuhyun said, not looking at him.
"Thank you," Ryeowook said, quietly, and Kyuhyun nodded.
They ate together in silence, the only sound coming from either of them was the clacking of chopsticks against their bowls. The noodles weren't very good, but it was decent of Kyuhyun to attempt it anyway. They didn't ask about each other's day because they knew the words would have been nothing but empty concern.
"He's not coming down to eat?" Kyuhyun finally asked, breaking the silence, and Ryeowook shook his head.
"He'll sleep through anything, I guess," Ryeowook said, shrugging as he swirled the noodles in his bowl with his chopsticks, "did you get the flowers from the garden?" It was improper, but he could hardly look at Kyuhyun. The flowers in the vase had been replaced. Tulips, this time, of a pink color. Sungmin would like it.
"Something like that," Kyuhyun said, looking away, and after a few moments, he picked up his glass and went over to the refrigerator. He looked like he was debating whether or not he was going to get more water, but decided not to, after a few seconds of hovering around. Ryeowook watched his actions with some confusion, but figured it as a quirk of Kyuhyun's, and nothing more.
"I'll help you with the dishes," Ryeowook said, standing up, and Kyuhyun nodded, setting himself in front of the sink. They worked while making small talk, things like work or tourist attractions or work or oh my god, what-- (Ryeowook) or shit (Kyuhyun). Kyuhyun instinctively pulled away from the water, and Ryeowook had the sense to turn off the tap, all the while not being able to take his eyes off of Kyuhyun pulling at the tulip on his palm with a kind of viciousness Ryeowook was all too familiar with. He'd felt it, in the first stages, and he wasn't too sure that he could have come to terms with it if he didn't have Sungmin.
(It meant less when he realized, afterwards, that he hadn't come to terms with it, not for all the world.)
"Oh, Kyuhyun," Ryeowook gasped out, feeling his heart ache at the sight of the small wound where he'd plucked the flower out, tiny, tell-tale punctures that Ryeowook himself knew too well, "you're--" Like me.
"Don't," Kyuhyun said, looking ashamed, "you might catch it if you come too near."
He looked small and vulnerable then, more like his age. Ryeowook clenched his teeth and enveloped him in a tight embrace.
