Chapter 5
There was no corner of Sehun's mind that denied the joy he received from Baekhyun's affection, and it was even more enjoyable when Baekhyun tried to deny these obvious feelings. It was so much more fun this way, Sehun thought. He only hoped it could last.
He never failed to miss Baekhyun's secret glances, his shy expression as he turned his face away in embarrassment. Sehun had put in a good effort of staring back at Baekhyun, but no matter how hard he tried, he had not accomplished making those tiny lights appear again.
On the contrary, Sehun was the one having a difficult time controlling his powers. One day as he was staring at Baekhyun, (in one of his attempts to make Baekhyun blush) a strong gust of wind started to whirl around him. Sehun became aware of it, and after a moment of surprise, tried to stop it. But the wind would not obey him, it continued dancing around him as if it were mocking him.
Despite his inner panic, Sehun kept a calm composure. Thankfully, since the wind was such a natural element, no one had noticed. It was only after Sehun was in the quiet of his own room that he was able to control his powers again.
Sehun smiled to himself, it made sense that he would fall for the boy who helped him regain his powers, the boy he had been watching for so long. But he wasn't done with this game yet. He wasn't just going to admit his feelings and miss out on Baekhyun's adorable attempt to hide his affection.
However, it was getting more difficult to catch Baekhyun in the act. Baekhyun eventually caught onto Sehun's little game, and had trained himself to keep his eyes off Sehun. Sehun's staring was no longer noticed, and he was getting irritated.
But he would have to think of ways to toy with Baekhyun at another time, the knights had been summoned to another battle. Sehun usually left without a word to Baekhyun, but after Sehun's recent attachment to him, Sehun was going to miss him.
As he and the other knights were leading their horses towards the entry of the castle, he made his way over to Baekhyun. Baekhyun noticed Sehun had come close to him, but he tried to ignore his presence.
"I expect some flowers when we get back."
Baekhyun finally looked up at him and noticed the smirk on his face. Again he was taken with how handsome Sehun looked in his armor.
"Don't get your hopes up."
Sehun turned in front of Baekhyun to block his path and then gripped the reins of his horse to stop it from moving.
"You used to throw flowers for us."
Baekhyun paused in surprise, "...You noticed me?"
"I saw you occasionally."
Baekhyun paused again and his cheeks colored pink, but not out of embarrassment. He was touched that Sehun spotted him amongst the large crowd of people.
Sehun suddenly moved out of Baekhyun's path and started making his way towards the exit again. He looked back at Baekhyun one last time before he left the castle. He wanted to remember that bashful expression. A gust of wind swept past Baekhyun and circled around him.
Sehun spent the journey contemplating different ways to make Baekhyun blush, or even better, make those lights appear again. The only problem was, he was concerned about being too obvious with his own feelings. That took all the fun out of it.
When Sehun returned, he had a few plans floating around in his mind. He was anxious to see Baekhyun again. As he rode into the town, he spotted a familiar head of hair that bounced adorably with each step. He watched as it weaved through the crowd and made his way to the head of their procession. Sehun spotted a bouquet of lilies in Baekhyun's hand. If only Baekhyun was looking, he would have seen the gentle smile on Sehun's face.
Baekhyun handed each of the knights a flower, and they laughed as they took it from him. Sehun stopped once he reached Baekhyun, he anticipated smirking at him, but all his previous intentions were lost when he noticed the small clover flower in Baekhyun's hand, the last flower in the bouquet. Sehun's heart pounded as a gust of wind played with Baekhyun's soft hair. Baekhyun lowered his eyes as he held it out to him.
"It's just for memories, don't try to make something special out of it." Baekhyun spoke in a sulking voice.
Sehun leaned down and took the flower from him. Baekhyun still wasn't brave enough to look up at him and missed another chance at seeing Sehun's warm smile. Sehun tucked the flower into his horse's mane to keep it safe, and then proceeded to pick Baekhyun off the ground to lift him onto the horse. Baekhyun bit his lip, he was secretly hoping Sehun might do this again.
"Did you miss me?"
"Of course not!"
Sehun snickered to himself, Baekhyun heard him and let out a dissatisfied snort. They rode together in silence again, but Baekhyun's hands began to itch, and he eventually gave into his desire to hold onto Sehun. He was hoping Sehun might not notice, considering he was holding onto Sehun's armor, but Sehun glanced down and spotted his delicate hands gently placed around him. Sehun smirked to himself, he couldn't help but find Baekhyun to be incredibly cute. Sehun was looking forward to executing the plans he had for them.
