We Are (Open to Yeonseok and Daehyun) COMPLETED

The past month had been somewhat of a whirlwind for Yeon, he felt as though no matter how much he held onto his roots in Evermore, the place he had called home for the past 8 years of his life, the further they seemed to get away from him. He knew it was inevitable, he was barely here anymore, most of the apartment now packed up in boxes and his essentials in suitcases that rarely left his side. He was back and forth to the airport a lot and spent most of his nights in hotel rooms. He'd put in an offer on a nice place on the outskirts of New York, big enough for him to live there and entertain guests but nowhere near as big or as nice to this penthouse he supposed he'd come to associate with the word home. Just like Dae said, Yeon hadn't been able to give this place up fully and something kept him coming back here.

Or perhaps more accurately, someone kept him coming back here, multiple someones. When the valkyr had first started to make plans to leave Evermore and start a life elsewhere, he hadn't exactly been expecting for people to get in the way. But since then he had been reunited with Celia, someone who had been a very big part of his life for a very long time now. Han, whose presence he had really grown to like, Yeon had been there for him in the past few weeks since his breakup with Jae, mostly reminding the star that he was a bit of an idiot and encouraging him to try and make things right but he felt like he had learned a great deal about his friend and the life he led. Then there was Dae, he wasn't his volakiri but he had definitely sparked an interesting friendship with him, which mostly consisted of them complaining about the world and commentating on their friend's relationship. Especially now it looked like the two of them had finally reconciled.

Yeon had to admit, he had been pretty shocked when Dae finally revealed that he did indeed live in the same building as the valkyr, at first he had thought he was joking but then he had proved it by inviting him over to see, which had bled into a dinner. It was pretty casual, considering the circumstances that their friendship came to be but he was happy with it, it was nice to have another person he could talk to, vent about something stupid that happened at work to and generally just be around. It wasn't exactly a secret that Yeon didn't have many friends, being who he was and having the assets he did, it was hard to find people you could trust but he definitely felt like he was really lucky in that area lately. An idiom about how things never happened and then happened all at once came to mind when he considered the recent changes to his life.

He had just finished packing up the last of the things in the dining room of the apartment, mostly display plates and silverware that he only used if he had any of his clients over for dinner in a more private setting, he hadn't needed them much lately since none of his clients were currently in Evermore city, he tended to just take them out to a nice restaurant instead, which also reminded him that he'd been seriously slacking on cooking lately. After closing the last box he headed into his room and collapsed backward onto the bed, enjoying taking a break from all the moving fiasco and just relaxing into the sheets. He knew he was probably pushing himself too far, trying desperately to keep on top of everything but he definitely felt the tension starting to build up. Perhaps that was why he was quitting for tonight and just trying to wind down, he closed his eyes for a few seconds feeling the exhaustion slowly taking over.

That was when he heard the first crash and he immediately sat up surprised in his bed, he yawned before sleepily drifting his gaze towards the window, he was about to collapse back into the sheets when the music started, booming and loud, echoing against the window even this high up the building, he grunted getting to his feet and going over to the window, peering outside to try and figure out what was going on. He couldn't see much from up here but he could definitely feel the rhythmic beat of the music from his toes. He sighed and flopped back onto his bed, grabbed his phone from the bedside table and scanning through all the missed notifications, he was pretty terrible at answering his messages on his days off. He pulled open his conversation with Daehyun and typed a message "Any idea why there's an elephant out on the street?" not literal of course but the beat felt like one

When you were busy looking for what you have been seeking out, you often miss out the worth that was in front of your eyes, that's what Dae could get from those words that seemed so similar yet differ in plenty of ways. It's interesting how something so simple could evolve into becoming something different. And it seems that Yeon too, understood that. It was always good to find someone who thinks similarly with him and while the blond Valkyr was a big optimist, the Niveis found himself relating to him better than anyone else. He could share his stories and worries without having a room of doubt. He couldn't picture Yeon changing his career either, he was so used to seeing the Valkyr dressed neatly in his suit, he didn't think he's ever seen the latter dress in anything that's very 'casual' except today, where even then he managed to look good in decent wear. "Well, I may bite hard but you're hardly any gentler yourself" he shot playfully, oh he's gotten all of that purely from experience wise of spending his two nights with the Valkyr. His eyes lit up in bemusement upon hearing about the white cat that Yeon had a personal vendetta against, once upon a time ago, "So I was right. That it did happen once."

Now, the idea of getting the exact same cat who may or may not end up giving Yeon the same treatment he received from a similar cat, was getting to him. Though it was most likely to have him being the one ambushing the Valkyr rather than his future cat, but Yeon didn't have to know that. "You keep on to that healthy competition in the world filled with deceit and lies, Yeon, you seem to have thrived against the pavement" Really, Dae could see how different the Valkyr was when it comes down to his CEO mode. He swore he bit his bottom lip harder than usual when Yeon pointed out the way those words could be left to be interpreted, "What can I say, I like to give guys a lot of ideas in general" God, how much he actually means that, the blunt and slight teasing undertone to his voice was probably more than enough to show how much the Niveis was eyeing the Valkyr up and down already. It was getting increasingly hard to hold himself back when the Valkyr quite literally presented himself in front of him like this. But he had to remind himself the lines he shouldn't be crossing. If he crosses that one, he'll never be able to return from it. Self control, Dae, he reminded himself over and over again.

Following Yeon's words, Dae wondered if he'll find those significant things in his life too if he looked hard enough. "Gosh look at that cheesy line, Yeon. I swear you have a way with words" Perhaps it was just him being biased but Dae find it very hard not to take his words seriously, every word felt so meaningful even when they're joking with one another. He was visibly floored when Yeon suggested they take the ice rink tonight themselves rather than going to an indoor ice rink, "Innovative, Yeon. I like the way you think." Besides, walking on the ice is fun, because you never know which line is more sensitive than the other and technically even if Dae fell into it, he couldn't exactly did from pneumonia. He intends to make full use of his advantages; especially with someone he could spend it with. "Don't expose me" he huffed teasingly when the blond prodded him about not being a rule breaker when they both know they've broken plenty of rules together the first time. Exceptions, right?

The fact that Yeon told him something of his past, dated back when he was a child, made the Niveis feel touched because he didn't need to share that but he did, "I can almost picture that now." He knew tonight was slowly coming to an end already, seeing as everyone else was already keeping their stereos away and they should really get back to the vicinity of their beds because they both needed sleep just as much. He pressed his lips into a gentle smile as he watched the Valkyr disappear as soon as the elevators closed, separating them, but not before the Niveis spared the Valkyr a bright grin on his own, thanking him for tonight before waiting for the next elevator by the side to come down.
