On Melancholy Hill- Gorillaz

The night sky is filled with various colors of blooming red and green, shining like explosion of stars in the night sky. It a beautiful sight really for the beginning of the New Year.

If only Ten felt that same enthusiasm inside.

Now he's walking alongside the beach, gazing at the waves with the multiple colors in a distance giving life to the sky. For some reason this does relax Ten's state of mind, feeling at ease and one with nature.

This is not something so easy to do. He just admitted to his best friend that he loves him and that he wishes he was something more with Woosung.

And now they're here and Ten can't just run away.

He has to face this, unfortunately.

If Taemin and Lucas are being bold than he can do it too!

Oh this is so bad...

In a distance he could see two silhouettes sitting down on the sand, pointing out to the different shapes of the fireworks. Ten could hear this giggles from here and that only ease a bit his panicking heart.

Ok...... Here goes nothing.

So with a heavy breath, Ten grows closer to the point he could see and hear them much more clearly.

And Woosung was the first one to notice him.

His smile never looked so wide before.

"Hey! Finally! You're missing it, come on!"

Suddenly Ten was yanked by the wrist by Jeongguk's hand to sit between the two, an arm over his shoulders and another from Woosung over his waist.

Watching the fireworks together.

To say Ten was not expecting this would be an understatement, but not like he was complaining about it either way. Just by being in their warm embraces he felt at ease, melting to their tender touches of their other hands on either hands of his.

Gently interlacing it together.

No, Ten didn't want to get his hopes up. He also doesn't want to think that they feel pity for him and have this need to show this source of affection, but it's not something Ten will explode about.

He's going to enjoy it.

He's going to close his eyes and feel the warm breeze, relax to the weight of life slowly lifting off from his shoulders just like the waves of the beach, feel his vulnerable explode like the fireworks in the sky but in his heart.

Yeah, maybe he can't get everything in life.

Maybe he can't be the people he would like to be with, but this here right now feels so completely perfect.

And he doesn't want to change.

Whatever may happen, he's not worried anymore.

As long as he doesn't lose the people he cares about the most in the world.

Too lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the way Woosung was staring at the side of his face, or how Jeongguk laid his head on his shoulder to breathe in his sweet scent to melt his heart into a puddle.

No, those things he saw as normal because it has became a normal habit.

If only he knew the true reality behind it.

The truth being how Jeongguk began to completely melt his heart for both of them, and Woosung was growing to become more reliant to the idea of not being with anyone else, just them.

Perhaps they're reconsidering Ten's confession, and right now as they stare at him with his glowing eyes capturing the beauty of the world, it felt right.

And they didn't want it to change.

"This feels nice," Ten giggles under his breath, snapping both boys out of their trance, "I never really had company during New Years like this when I would come here."

Unable to help himself any longer, Woosung leans forward and presses a delicate kiss on his cheekbone, fluttering Ten's smile down with a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Yeah, I'm glad I'm here too," Woosung says quietly, glancing at Jeongguk who's smiling softly at the two, "And you?"

Theres this glittering brightness behind Jeongguk's eyes, something that sparked in joy as he glances between the two. He's never felt this type of overhyping happiness before, and it almost felt as though all of his problems faded in the background.

All of it.

"I'm happy too."

Everyone's heart dropped.

Woosung is staring at Jeongguk with gawked lips and wide eyes while Ten was staring at the sand, his breathe wavering in hitching noises as the tears began to beam behind his eyes.

T-They heard it........

They...... They heard his voice.....

Jeongguk just spoke.

Even Jeongguk was surprised himself with his heart picking up speed, his hand shakily covering over his lips in shock to the sound he hasn't heard in years.

His own voice.

Not counting that day when he was intoxicated because he was intoxicated, it came out. Now he's sober and he..... He did it.

And it didn't hurt. He didn't get flashbacks and his chest isn't squeezing.

H-He spoke.

He spoke a sentence.

Slowly Ten's eyes moves towards Jeongguk's gaze, crystalline tears gliding down his cheeks in singular drops of rain. If there's anyone that know what Jeongguk has gone through besides his family on his mutism, it's Johnny, Ten and Hoseok.

They were always there.

From freshman year up until now, going through the times Jeongguk would have a mental break down after his therapy sessions since he couldn't speak, pushing people away for making him feel so damn useless since he couldn't speak, watch him pray and pray over many times for God to give him his voice again.

And it was here, in this moment, where he began to feel his affections for these two boys and slowly embraced his true identity.

He spoke from his voice.

Ten started crying.

He was crying so hard that hiccuping sobs stumbled out of his lips. On impulse he launched himself to Jeongguk and hugs him tightly, feeling so happy to hear that sweet and breathed voice.

Woosung was sitting there with tears gleaming his own eyes, rubbing a hand to Jeongguk's back with a weak smile of his own happiness. He may not have known Jeongguk for so long, but he knows that relief of happiness.

He felt it with his hearing aids when he first began to hear noises perfectly.

It was a bittersweet feeling, making it seem as though all of his fight was finally giving a reward.

And Jeongguk is getting his.

"My baby," Ten wheezes through his lips, pulling away to cup Jeongguk's cheeks while wiping away his tears with his thumbs, "You spoke! Y-You spoke!"

Jeongguk is sobbing too, holding Ten with one arm and hand interlaced tightly with Woosung's hand.

He didn't know how much longer this could last before his anxiety takes place, so he wants to take advantage of it as much as he could.

So he looks at the two and gulps thickly, make shifting a weak smile, "I-I want to learn..... How to love...... With you two," Jeongguk gulps thickly, feeling the knot slowly form back in his throat, "I-I'm so scared..... B-But I don't want to be a-anymore. I w-want to try i-it."

To say Ten feels like he's actually dreaming would be something too extreme, but this also didn't feel real.

His best friend just spoke, and not only spoke but used the limited time he had to say how he's willing to take the next step and see how it goes.

That he was to learn how to love, with them.

This is all Ten ever wanted.

Fuck, he's probably crying even more now than before.

He felt the weight on his shoulder of Woosung's chin laying on it, still holding onto Jeongguk's hand.

"You got it Bambi," He whispers, nuzzling his head against ten's, "From my side I'm willing to try too, for both of you."

Ten could feel his heart slowly melting in his chest, closing his eyes as his tears slid down his cheeks but manages to exhale a heavy breath with a smile.

"Let's learn how to love together."

And just like that, Jeongguk's voice was gone but his smile expressed everything words wasn't able to say. So he grabs both boys and yanks them towards him, the three feeling utterly complete together the second they embraced each other in their arms.

What a feeling it was to finally feel...... Peaceful.
