Company for Christmas
Description
After breaking up from a long-time boyfriend, Chanyeol's life pretty much stops. He merely exists until he takes some familial advice and leaves his apartment. He meets someone he didn't expect and certainly didn't expect to need so much.
Foreword
"Hi, Chanyeol!" Baekhyun chirps.
"What happened to your phone?"
Sehunnie left his at my place, so I'm changing his contacts and sending lurid text messages. He's gotta learn to take care of his stuff, right?" Makes sense. "What are you up to?"
"I'm picking up some stuff for my apartment. I got a tree yesterday, but I didn't have anything—"
"You got a tree??" Chanyeol flinches at the shout and apologies to some of the people around him. "No fair. You should invite me and Jongdae over—" He whines, probably pinched, and Chanyeol hears Jongdae scolding him. "I'm just worried, Jongdae; calm down. So can we, Chanyeol? Jongdae and I both have off today. It's been a while, and you're decorating by yourself." At Chanyeol's silence, he wheedles, "It'll be fun?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll even cook you guys something."
"Meat!"
"If you buy it, sure." Baekhyun whines but agrees. "I'm going to one more store and will head home. Come over whenever."
Anxiety twists his guts, but there's anticipation in the pockets around it. It has been a long time, and he misses his friends. He misses being social and having fun. Simply having a life outside his apartment.
