[team one] you held me so tight all my pieces came together

Hi, it's my first time posting in Shiritori! This one came out pretty easily so I'm looking forward more writing in the future. And of course all nice fics from others, as well. I've had bromance!feels about Baekhyun and Chen recently so here you go.



When he saw him appearing from the foyer Baekhyun could immediately tell something wasn't right.

Baekhyun had already gone to bed, the small corner in their living room where he had moved to, and had curled up under the blanket but once again he had got distracted by the new game he had downloaded for his tablet and therefore wasn't asleep yet. As he heard the front door opening Baekhyun moved the privacy curtain he had installed next to his bed and peeked to check who the comer was. There had been individual schedules for the whole day and Baekhyun wasn't sure who had already returned and who not.

It was Jongdae who was slowly tiptoeing along the hall into the living room. Even though it was threatingly getting late and from faint snoring sounds in the dorm it was easy to tell other members were sound asleep, there was no reason for Jongdae to move that quietly and keep his head down like some string attached on the floor would be pulling him. Baekhyun coughed once in order to implicate he was awake and that seemed to work since Jongdae rose his head gradually.

Normally Baekhyun would have teased Jongdae, make a nasty comment about his tired appearance or carry out some kind of prank since that was how their usual relationship worked as a rule. This time it was different. Despite the faint light on the bedside table Baekhyun immediately saw the sadness clouding in Jongdae's eyes, intensifying the feeling that something truly wasn't right or something bad had happened.

Without saying a word Baekhyun made a reassuring nod, stood up and opened his arms. And without saying anything back Jongdae walked to him, allowing himself being hugged tightly by his groupmate. By his brother.

Baekhyun patted Jongdae's back, smoothing and holding his neck with another hand, and Baekhyun could tell Jongdae's shoulders were trembling a bit but he didn't dare to check whether the other one was crying or not. It didn't matter anyway.

Just like it didn't matter what was the reason for Jongdae being like this suddenly. The unvoiced care and understanding was how they had worked together since their trainee days, practicing together and encouraging each other although there had never been surety they both would make it until debut. It was Jongdae who Baekhyun would ask vocal advice from, not feeling ashamed at all, and he would always get a helpful answer. And it had been Jongdae who had put his arm around Baekhyun's shoulder when the dating scandal had broken out and nasty comments came out, people wishing Baekhyun to go to hell and leave their group. Everytime Baekhyun's phone had peeped, Jongdae would squeeze him a bit tighter.

Jongdae would surely tell Baekhyun later what was going on but for now the only thing that mattered was that moment of care which was like a warm quilt covering them, making it a little bit easier to carry on. Saying nothing sometimes said the most.
