let's can't sleep together
baeksoo
506 words
it's louder than what he's used to.
that's one of the thoughts at the forefront of kyungsoo's mind, because he's always been the kind of person that prefers quiet over anything else. it should be a relief. it should be a comfort, combining like this. gaining new bodies to help survive, more access to supplies and skills that could be valuable. a larger group of people to get to know, more possibilities for friendships and new personalities and that's what starts to make his skin prickle a little if he thinks about it too much.
baekhyun is an outgoing person. kyungsoo has known that from the moment that they met, the way he can talk for hours without getting tired of it and the never ending curiosity he seems to possess about kyungsoo's life and everything about it before everything happened. more people is exciting for him. he's in his element, flitting around talking and laughing and completely comfortable.
kyungsoo is sitting off to the side, far enough away to keep his privacy but close enough not to miss anything or get separated. his back is up against a piece of concrete, something that probably used to be a part of the tunnel. it's uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter.
the conversation has faded by now, along with the embers that were a small fire. the quiet is back and it's nice, even if it's impossible to shake the feeling that comes with being surrounded by so many people after so long. baekhyun is asleep beside him until kyungsoo hears a faint rustling and then he isn't, sitting up and blinking until his eyes adjust to the dark again.
"'soo?" his voice is quiet, sleepy, and despite his discomfort the corner of kyungsoo's mouth is catching on a smile.
"mm?"
"why are you still awake?" his voice is groggy but there's an undeniable concern lingering below the surface. sometimes it's cute and sometimes it's frustrating, the way that baekhyun worries over him when he's the one who should be taking it easy.
"dunno," kyungsoo answers with a shrug of his shoulder, fingers playing at each other like they do when something is making him anxious. it's a tick that baekhyun is familiar with, one that makes him straighten his back a little and scoot closer.
"just ... can't sleep."
it isn't much of an answer but it's honest even if there's more to it than what he's letting on. baekhyun can read him better than that, but he'll give kyungsoo at least a day before he grills him about it.
it's not the first time this has happened, and baekhyun pushes back until he can feel the cool concrete pushing against his skin. he slides his arm through kyungsoo's and slots their fingers together without any hesitation, like it's the most natural thing in the world.
it helps, because kyungsoo feels a subtle warmth that's sliding through his veins when baekhyun squeezes once, and he squeezes back. his own way of letting him know that he's okay.
