Yunho jumped up on his bed place and looked around. The tent was shaking because the wind outside was insanely strong. White flashes around the tent and the thunder made Yunho scared. He was already gripping the blanket because thunder and lightning were one of his biggest fears.

Another ramble and lightning, louder this time. Yunho jumped, almost letting out a scream. He turned to the side to wake Mingi up.

But his hands met an empty place.

A jolt went trough his stomach.

Where was Mingi? Why isn't he here? Did something happen to him? These and many more questions spinned around Yunho's head when another lightning showed up and scared him again. He wanted to shout for Mingi but he couldn't speak, not even open his mouth; he was too afraid. His body had frozen and senses gone.

Yunho was hyperventilating. Calm down, calm down. He squeezed the blanket more and tried to get his head straight to think what to do next.

Another thunder sound scared the hell out of him. It was getting worse, like his condition. His eyes became wet and heartbeat fastened crazily. Everything was a blur and he couldn't think or function normally.

Why did he leave and left me alone? What if something happened to him? Why isn't he back already??!

A very loud thunder sounded somewhere and Yunho covered his ears with his hands, squeezing his eyes close. The thunder was quickly followed by a white flash near him and he let out a startled scream and pulled his blanket over his head. He started crying hysterically under it, scared to death and losing hope that Mingi will come back.

All of a sudden, he felt a light touch on his shaking body, screamed and jumped up. He looked at the shape in the darkness who seemed to be surprised on the reaction. Yunho would've recognized that figure everywhere.

It was Mingi.

,,Mingi!" He yelled and threw himself towards him, right into his lap, wrapping his hands around his neck, too weak to pull himself up and started crying inconsolably. He was happy that Mingi was back but the thunderstorm outside was still scaring him.

Mingi felt his shirt becoming wet and that was when he realized that Yunho had woken up while he was away. He had hoped that it won't happen since he knew that Yunho was scared of thunderstorms but the present moment was the total opposite of that wish. It was heartbreaking to see the boy he loved so much, crying in front of him.

,,Shhh, shhh, it's okay, it's okay, Yunho. I'm here now." He whispered, wrapping his hands gently around the older one.

They sat there for a while, Mingi feeling Yunho's heartbeat calming down slowly and he stopping crying because Mingi was here now. He was holding him and saying that everything was fine. That was all the scared boy needed.

That's when Yunho realized that his best friend crush was hugging and comforting him and that he had cried in front of him; shown him how fragile and weak he is. Yunho didn't have nothing against hugging but the crying part was embarrassing for him.

,,You okay?" Mingi suddenly asked, making Yunho flinch slightly. He pulled away and looked at the older one in concern. Even though it was dark, Yunho still saw and felt everything.

He nodded.

Mingi smiled and laid down on his bed under the blanket, trying to fall asleep.

,,Listen? The storm is already over, you can sleep peacefully." He said to Yunho who slowly went to bed too. He did listen, and yes, Mingi was right, the storm had gotten much quieter. Yunho breathed deeply. It was almost over. He didn't have to be scared anymore. Mingi turned to the right side, his back facing Yunho and said,

,,Goodnight, Yunho." I love you.

Yunho stared at the ceiling, feeling a little bit sad because he remembered how it felt to have Mingi's hands around him. He hadn't payed much attention to it before but now he felt how every inch what Mingi had touched, started to get warm and it wasn't because he was under the warm yellow blanket. He loved Mingi so much, he wanted to feel his heartbeat, listen to his breathing and be close to him.

Ahhh, stop. It's never gonna happen anyway. He'll never feel the same...It's just your stupid feelings messing around again...

He looked at Mingi's sleeping figure and sighed. He was so caring and beautiful inside and out and Yunho wished that there would've been a way for him to tell that to Mingi. He sighed again in sadness.

Suddenly, Mingi turned around and looked at Yunho. He blinked his beautiful eyes a few times and Yunho was ready to turn away because of the awkwardness when he felt Mingi's hand pulling him closer. His cheecks immediately heat up and he became nervous, feeling tingles where Mingi touched him. Mingi stopped when Yunho's face was just inches away from his and smiled. He took a moment to glance at those pretty pink plump lips...it was no secret that he wanted to kiss them so badly.

Are they soft? Will he even accept that move?

And just then, like a reaction or a normal thing to do, Yunho put his head on his chest and moved even more closer. Mingi tried his best to control himself. He was in euphoria and his stomach did somersaults. He gently took Yunho's hand into his and drew circles with his thumb on it. Yunho breathed heavily; Mingi's touch made him go crazy and when the latter put his hand on him, he let out a heavy breath against Mingi's chest. Mingi chuckled very lightly; he felt Yunho's racing heart against him.

Even though I like it, why is he reacting like this? Is he okay with it? Probably is because otherwise, he would've pulled away by now...

Mingi stopped thinking about that. He wanted to enjoy the moment where he got to cuddle with the person he loved the most in this world.

Yunho looked up at Mingi and his heart skipped a beat when he saw how close their faces were. He could feel Mingi's breath touching his nose and cheecks what were turning bright red. He quickly looked back down again, afraid of doing something wrong.

This being close thing...it's probably a wander thought and Mingi doesn't really mean anything with it...

They closed their eyes in unison.

Soon, they both fell asleep, still in each others' hold. Mingi held Yunho's hand like it was the most fragile but the most valuable thing ever and his other hand was still on Yunho, holding him as close as possible. Yunho's body was against Mingi's and their legs interwoven. It had started with being frightened but ended with cuddling with each other in deep sleep...Mingi soon moved his hand under Yunho's head, replacing his pillow and smiled quietly when felt Yunho's steady breathing contrary to his hand.

Oh, this chapter isn't that bad at all haha ^^.
Also, found this cute video where this UwU clip is in:

San literally has some trouble hugging Yunho because he can barely put his hands around him since he's so tiny and I'm like UwU it's too cute for those two roommates ^^ Yunho seems so big and San so small and I find it so freaking adorable !!
(it's from a YouTube video titled 'ATEEZ being clingy for 14 minutes' and it's so freaking adorable !!)
