“Hey,” the breathy whisper sounded loud in the quiet dorm room. Keys jingled against keychains as the person clumsily dropped them to the floor. “Oh, shit, sorry.” Kyungsoo lazily opened his eyes and squinted over Baekhyun’s shoulder. Tall, check; firetruck red hair, check; cute even when blurry as hell, check. Yup, definitely Park Chanyeol. “Do you like Soo’s hair? I did it myself, ya know. I figured he’d look good with black hair again.” said Baekhyun proudly as he trailed his fingers through Kyungsoo’s hair at the cost of a light jab to his ribs. “Y-yeah, i-it looks good. It looks really good.” Kyungsoo heard Chanyeol shuffling his feet before settling onto his Rilakkuma covered bed. Baekhyun giggled at the stuttered response and decided to torture Kyungsoo with a, “Maybe you have a chance at getting yourself a boyfriend who can reach the top shelf for you.” “I will end you, Byun.” “You love meeee.” Baekhyun’s thin arms tightened around Kyungsoo as if he were going to push him away except Kyungsoo couldn’t (wouldn’t ever) bring himself to do it, not when he was happy to be there in the first place. Baekhyun’s warmth surrounding him felt safe. Safe enough to let the roommates quiet conversation to be the soundtrack to Kyungsoo’s dreams.
