— Mentions of smoking and drinking.

• • •

"This is me being nice, now get the fuck out Lucas and leave me to my thoughts before I say something I'll regret."

Lucas scoffed. "Call me when you're out of your stupid fucking mood."

Chaehyun didn't even look at him, keeping his eyes locked on Eleven's bed as his boyfriend stormed out of the room, making a point to slam the door behind him. Once he was alone, Chaehyun sat down on the edge of his bed and ran his hands over his face.

"Man, what a shit day." 

The air felt thick and his brain was clouded with negative thoughts. Every couple argues, he understood that but that didn't make him feel any better about the situation. His day had been terrible and then on top of that, Lucas was pestering him about forgetting a date and he blew up.

Regrettable things were said from both parties, they knew nothing was meant by them but in the moment, they wanted to hurt each other. Lucas had brought up Chaehyun's past with girls whilst Chaehyun brought up something Lucas said that upset him months ago.

Stress caused his body to ache and he felt like he needed an escape. Slowly, he stood up from his bed and yanked open his bottom drawer to his bedside table and grabbed the packet of cigarettes, a lighter before opening up the mini fridge he had bought for him and Mark and grabbed a beer.

He didn't drink often, but they were in there for the rare occasion.

He hadn't touched a cigarette in months, he had been doing so well but right now, he needed one.

Placing the stick between his lips, he lit it up and took a long toke. Taeyong was going to kill him but in the moment, that was the least of his worries. Laying back against his bed, he stared up at the ceiling as he breathed out the smoke, flicking the ash onto the floor reminding himself to clean it up later.

It was then when the door opened, causally he glanced towards it to see Yuta and Johnny looking at him with disappointed faces. Chaehyun only smiled and took another toke of the cigarette.

Blowing out the smoke, he laughed euphorically. "Yuta, Johnny. What brings you boys to my humble abode?"

Johnny huffed whilst Yuta headed out to grab one of the boys. The older male grabbed the beer can that was in Chaehyun's hand which was hanging off the bed and placed it on the beside table.

"I was drinking that," Chaehyun scoffed.

"This isn't the solution and you know it. Put that cigarette out."

Chaehyun rolled his eyes and finished up the rest of the stick before grabbing his old ashtray from the drawers and putting out whatever was left of it. He then turned to Johnny with raised eyebrows.

"Happy now?" He asked sassily. 

"Very much so."

Taeyong entered the room and visibly deflated when he saw the beer can as well as ashtray. Johnny shot him a look that told him things weren't great, but Chaehyun smiled widely.

"Hey Yongie, come join the party! We're having a great time."

"I don't know what happened between you and Lucas but the last thing he'll want is for you to start drinking and smoking again. This isn't the way to go about things. You can't just smoke and drink whenever something goes wrong."

"I mean I can-"

"Chaehyun!"

"Alright fine, whatever." Chaehyun rolled his eyes.

Johnny sighed and glanced at their leader who looked more sad than anything. He didn't know as much as Taeyong did about Chaehyun's mental health, but he did know bits.

"Do we need to call your therapist? Are things getting bad again?" Johnny questioned.

Chaehyun snorted. "When were things ever good? You don't get better, you just learn to live with the pain."

"You do get better. You were getting better, don't let this bad day push you back into that mindset. Now, I'm going to go get Lucas and you're going to sort through your problems whilst Johnny gets rid of that stupid beer and the rest of your cigarettes."

Chaehyun didn't respond, he just mimicked Taeyong before rolling his eyes and letting his head fall back against the pillow whilst Johnny moved around the room looking for Chaehyun's extra cigarettes.

"They're in the bottom drawer, dumbass. You could've just asked me."

"Yeah well, I didn't think you'd tell me," Johnny responded as he leaned down to open the drawer.

"I don't like smoking, you know? I just do it for some relief, I wouldn't stop you from getting rid of them, I'm better off knowing they aren't there," Chaehyun shrugged as Lucas entered the room looking pissed. "Oh, here we go."

"Smoking? Again? Drinking too? Are you out of your mind? I left the room for ten goddamn minutes!"

"I was stressed. You stressed me out."

"Oh, so now this is my fault?"

Chaehyun sighed. "Not completely. You stressed me out, but I'm in charge of my own actions so i can't blame you for me smoking again."

Lucas sat down at the end of Chaehyun's bed with a sharp exhale. He glanced over at his boyfriend and began pouting, not enjoying the fact that he was annoyed with him. Lucas had blown things out of proportion but it wasn't completely his fault, Chaehyun had carried on the argument.

"Don't look at me like that," Chaehyun groaned.

"Like what?"

"Like a puppy that just got kicked—like that! The big puppy dog eyes and the pout."

Lucas cracked a smile and so did Chaehyun. After a few seconds, Lucas made the first move and crawled closer to Chaehyun on the bed laying down so that his head was resting on the same pillow as Chaehyun's, faces inches apart. 

Urging himself to be stubborn, Chaehyun gently pushed Lucas away and rolled over with a firm 'humph' followed by a pout. Lucas wasn't giving up and instead, wrapped his arms around his torso, pulling Chaehyun against his chest. Much to his surprise, the older boy didn't put up a fight. 

"You reek of cigarettes."

"You reek of remorse," Chaehyun fired back.

"I'll admit, I regret the argument and I am sorry for adding to your stress but don't act like you're all innocent," Lucas told him softly.

Chaehyun nodded and looked down at the sheets beneath him before making the rash decision to roll over. Lucas grinned cutely when Chaehyun finally gave in and pecked his lips.

"I'm sorry too...for everything. The things I said, the smoking and drinking...I'm sorry."

Lucas nodded his head. "Great. Now go shower because you stink."

Chaehyun smirked. "Only if you follow me."

And just like that, the argument was long forgotten but some making up was to be done.
