[ Definite asshole.

Because it doesn't even matter anymore that he can tell that Nam Soon is just as embarrassed because of how red his ears are - although seriously, is he really willing to shoot himself in the foot that much with all of this just for the sake of teasing him? - because Heung Soo is really beyond embarrassed right now. Being teased over other stuff is one thing, but this? This is something else entirely, especially when the thoughts of both of them rolling across the floor and desperately touching and kissing each other haven't left his mind yet at all. Or more importantly - everything beyond that. Or everything that almost went beyond that, that he can't file away as neatly (although calling it "neatly" would be a wild exaggeration) as the kissing.

So instead he just punches the other - or.. well, not entirely. He's punching the pillow that Nam Soon is holding, which should cushion most of the blow for his body, making it not all that bad in the end. And Heung Soo just drops himself to sit on the floor next to the other, a completely embarrassed frown on his face. ]

Anyone'd be embarrassed to do that sort of stuff with you, you punk. [ AS IF THAT'S REALLY THE PROBLEM HERE.. but if he can say this stuff out loud instead considering it's easier, then he will. ]

Yah...

[while heung soo punches at the pillow, he readjusts to hold it more like a shield. of course, he's really not trying all that hard to shield. even if heung soo punch at his hardest, nam soon wouldn't hold it against him—his teasing was a low blow.

he's still pretty embarrassed even as heung soo sits next to him... maybe even more so. but nam soon shakes his shoulders a few times like a little kid before bumping one of them into heung soo's. it's silly and childish, but a perfect showing of the fact that he's completely embarrassed by this topic of conversation. even if he's also kind of okay with it at the same time. it's going to take a while to settle into these feelings, to sort out what it does and doesn't change. nam soon's glad that he's not losing anything. there's only things to gain from it, even if he's not quite sure what that is yet.]

They would for you, too. [honestly, nobody would even be interested in these sorts of things with either of them. if only they knew that their own classmates had been passing notes saying they should date. they know. everyone knows. apparently, they were the last to know.] I guess I have to be stuck with an embarrassing bastard like you.

[you, who was the first to say that what they did wasn't bad. you, who calls it "that kind of stuff," which is more than nam soon can verbally admit right now. it's so much easier if they don't have to put this crap into words, really.

his ears are going ti be red forever, at this rate.]

[ He frowns a little at that, but it's more embarrassment than real anger or annoyance - Nam Soon probably knows, considering he's seen real anger from Heung Soo plenty before. ]

How am I the embarrassing bastard here? [ Excuse you, mister bumping into him like a five year old, mister who initiated the whole thing, mister who was--

No, he's not even going to think of that right now or he's only going to get more and more embarrassed. It's probably better to steer the topic away entirely before he just gets an embarrassing answer he never wanted to that question. ]

I think I liked you better when you were sleeping.

You were the one who told me to stop sleeping. Make up your mind, Heung Soo-yah.

[he pointedly doesn't point out how heung soo is embarrassing, mostly because then he'd have to bring up the specifically embarrassing points. it would only serve to keep this hideous cycle going, which... doesn't seem very wise.

instead, he smirks a little at heung soo, knowing his snappy response will probably piss the other guy off a bit. especially since he's going to use this time to stretch his arms out over his head before leaning back until he's laying flat.

this is the bastard you've chosen to spend your life with, heung soo.]

[ Sometimes he really questions the life choices he makes.

Although it's never for long, honestly.. as much as the other is an embarrassing bastard who teases on purpose on top of it a lot of the time, it's not like he could ever really actively dislike or hate Nam Soon. The guy just has to whine a little bit in his direction or flash one of those smiles at him that at first were just really, really weird (when you're used to Tsunami, anyway) at first but then turned out strangely cute - and then Heung Soo already can't find it within his power anymore to actually be mad at the other.

Which is why he's - still slightly annoyed because he's so flustered - shoving Nam Soon to the side a little bit before he moves to lie flat on his back next to him.

Staring at the ceiling is a hell of a lot less embarrassing than staring at that smirk. ]

If you're not going to sleep, then I will. [ He's practically the personification of the "B(" emote at this point.. ]

[his natural aegyo is real. ~~and can't be controlled because a certain jongsukkie can't control that shit~~]

We could both sleep. [really, that seems like the best solution to him. even if nam soon feels less tired now than he has in days, he thinks napping now may actually be restful. forcing himself to sleep as a means of avoiding everything didn't mean he slept well at all.

he doesn't really know how heung soo's been sleeping either, since he's largely avoided even being in the same room. maybe he's not admitting it out loud, but that worries him too, just like any potentially harmful thing for heung soo does with him.]

Let's get ramen after that. [like, go out and eat ramen at a restaurant instead of making it themselves. it would be a good way to commemorate overcoming a hurdle that's affecting them both—and maybe his appetite is coming back to him now as the weight of their unsure circumstance melts away. nam soon already expects an exasperated response, but it doesn't stop him from turning on his side and looking at his friend with a cheesy grin.

like he does every time. nam soon's nothing if not predictable in situations like these; it's just one of the many ways that he never really grew up. it's playful and fun and childlike—and a side of him that only heung soo is ever allowed to see. if only others knew what an aegyo bastard he could be, right?]

[ It sure is a side that only Heung Soo gets to see, and it sure is a side that Heung Soo has no idea how to handle as well, let's be real here. Even when the other was being Tsunami, it was exactly in the moments that the two of them were alone at Heung Soo's place or Nam Soon's place that the other always seemed a little more genuinely happy instead of just smug.. it was at those moments that a slightly more child-like side to Nam Soon came out, something that suited a little bit more for a guy in his early teenage years than the whole Tsunami behaviour did. A side that Heung Soo also very well realises most other people never got to see, if anyone at all.. there's something happy about it, knowing that he can at least act that true to himself and that casually around him, but on the other hand..

.. well, does he have to say it? It's embarrassing as hell, being faced with this aegyo bastard, and it flusters him for more reasons than one, although there's no way in hell he's going to admit that. Even if you'd break his other leg too.

So instead of properly answering, Heung Soo just stares for a long moment out of the corner of his eye to Nam Soon's puppy-like happy smile, lets out a long breath, and..

Then he rolls over onto his side, his back towards the other guy, his tone curt. ]

Sleep well.

[ Not like he means it badly, at least, he's just terrible at dealing with stuff like this, so his default reaction is to just shut it down right away. ~~Don't pull that aegyo out on him when they were so close to dick touching only a few days ago, god.~~ ]

Mm...

[it doesn't really need to be any more than that, really. nam soon knows that this is just how heung soo is, and how he deals with situations like this. everything is still so touch and go—even if they've largely solved the larger conflict at hand, there are still plenty of things to clear up.

those things can wait though, and nam soon doesn't take even the slightest offense to the way heung soo turns his back. if anything, it makes his smile shift to something softer and more endeared, more genuine than put on, more grownup than childlike. it's a lot easier to do that when nobody is looking. instead of turning on his side in either direction, he remains on his back, gaze fixed on the ceiling for a moment before he lets his eyes fall shut. yeah, he can definitely sleep a little easier this way.]

Sleep well, Heung Soo-yah.

[ There's a few moments of nothing, as if Heung Soo wants to make sure the other really did fall asleep before he does anything else. But then after that when he doesn't hear anymore sounds, Heung Soo slowly turns his head back to look at Nam Soon - and that's when he sees him lying there with his eyes closed and that soft smile on his face.

(Not that he was worried he really was too rude in his tsun for a moment - not at all, geez, why would anyone think that.)

But Nam Soon looks just fine, he looks happy.. so then it's all fine. Even if there's still some parts of this left to figure out that are too embarrassing to even talk about, it's fine like this. Even with what happened.. they're still them through it all.

And that's what is important.

He scoots just a little bit closer to the other, still lying on his side, before he closes his eyes to sleep as well. ]
