[fic] Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi – SJM – Next to You – Oneshot

Title: Next to You
Author: [livejournal.com profile] fonulyn
Rating: PG
Pairing: Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi
Disclaimer: I own no one, only my dirty imagination.
Summary: Then, then he is right there next to you, all long legs and bright stunning smile, his voice matching yours exactly how it’s supposed to. This is what you’ve been waiting for.
Comments: Yesterday I spent the whole day watching different lives and sjm videoclips with friends, and I kept on complaining I want to see a qmi duet. I guess my subconscious remembered it during the night since I woke up with this XD This is kind of an experiment since I’ve never written in second person before, but that is how it came out so …I hope the pov serves the purpose it should. I kind of liked writing it but I don’t think I’ll end up using second person that much in the future x)



The familiar beat of the carefully chosen song is already pounding through your veins even if the song hasn’t even yet begun. You stand on the side, ready to step on stage when the first notes resonate through the air and you have a definite feeling that you’ve never been this nervous before. You are wrong, of course, since you get this nervous each single time before this song but still it always seems new, every time.

Your heart is beating like a drum in your ribcage, ready to burst free and you try to breathe in deep, force yourself calm down. Your palms are sweaty and you wipe them on your pants for what feels like the millionth time during the past five minutes, just because you are so nervous. You keep on fidgeting, just barely noticeably, unable to stay completely still no matter what you do.

And you keep smiling all along.

When it’s time to step on stage you send a quick prayer upstairs – or no, it’s not really a prayer as much as it is a thank you, thank you so much – and the next second you are surrounded by blinding lights and the cheers of the audience. You smile, but your eyes dart to the side, searching. Searching for what isn’t there yet and you know it.

The nervousness has faded to the background, like it always does, and your voice doesn’t waver when you let the song begin, enjoy the easiness with which the melody slips off your tongue. You’ve rehearsed this a million times and you know it will all go down exactly how you want. You’re just building up, waiting for the right moment. Waiting for him.

You know when to expect it and you close your eyes, nearly hold your breath.

Another voice joins yours and it’s your turn to fall silent, to listen to the familiar syllables. It’s a voice so different from your own, and yet so similar, so fitting in so many ways. You grin, the corner of your mouth quirking upward and you turn your head, finally opening your eyes.

Then, then he is right there next to you, all long legs and bright stunning smile, his voice matching yours exactly how it’s supposed to.

He smiles and you smile, since there is nothing else you can do when he is there with you.

You look him straight in the eye when you reach the chorus and when he reaches out for you, you don’t even try to pull back. You are in this together and you want to show it. You know it’s only thinly veiled in politeness, supporting a friend in the only way possible, while in reality there is so much more.

The audience, the scorching lights and the cheers, you love them. But you have a definite feeling you could live without them. As long as you’d have his voice twine with yours, his fingers brushing against your own, his gaze directed at you, his waist under your arm when you pull him closer.

It’s over way too soon and he gives you one last smile, his eyes sparkling when he spins around and leaves you standing there. Like always. Like it has to be. Just before he vanishes from your sight he turns to look at you and you can almost hear the impish Oh Kui Xian~ in your mind when he mouths it through his grin.

You can’t help but want more. One song is never enough.

There are other people next to you now, people you care about, but it’s not the same. You match their smiles and follow the routine, tease them and let yourself to be teased in turn. But somewhere, in the back of your mind, you see that stunning smile and it makes your own turn just a little bit wider.

You don’t want this to ever end. At the same time you can’t wait till it’s over and you can run backstage, only to sink into a warm, congratulatory embrace. Hear his laughter and feel his smile on your skin.

Somewhere in the midst of this all, you wonder when exactly it happened. When did your world start revolving around him? You can’t remember, distinguish a single moment from the blur of everything you’ve been through. But it doesn’t matter.

As long as you keep gravitating towards each other.

To make up for the angsty one from before? I kind of woke up with this on my mind and I guess I dreamed it up XD

Yeah, I have time for that anyways, I still have high school to finish before deciding anything :D Umm, first grade. Juu, lukiossa olen, ihan jopa ilmaisulukiossa XD Sopii toki, täällä entisessä pääkaupungissa oon majaillu koko ikäni. Asutaanko me mahollisesti lähikaupungeissa? :'D I guess so XD I can believe that, I've always known that teachers are secretly masochists XD I can just imagine how I would be. I'd be the weird, loony teacher who rambles on about really creepy stuff during lessons and shows non-related K-pop videos to my classes because they are so educational XD And I would be always late, forgetting my stuff all over the place, browsing internet/writing fanfiction during class while the students did something and just blatantly fail at everything XD

Damn, I guess I gotta keep waiting x) My brother's going to be a doctor, so maybe he'll come up with something. He's so smart anyways XD

Oh yes, I've seen some photos from his baidu and umm... XD He does! Like this one time I saw a picture of him where he had this denim jacket with a... fake wool collar? XD And he had a leopard print scarf with it. Normally, it would look awful, but he made it work. He so would 8D He'd probably love it, too XD

And even when you decide on something, it's not like you can't change your mind and do something else then x) Joo, ei kovin lähikaupungeissa, minä majailen nimittäin ihan itärajan tuntumassa x) Joensuussa opiskelen tällä hetkellä. Teachers are both masochists and sadists XD And not even so secretly! Oo writing fanfiction during class is something I've done too x) Which reminds me, I really, really want to write something just about right now but I am blocked :( Heeeeeeeelp~!

A doctor? Wow, that's cool! I would make such a bad doctor XD But my bachelor's thesis is medicine related so yeah. Explains why I don't understand anything of it.

haha yeah, he seems to love leopard prints and as much as I disapprove of them... he does look good in them anyway x) He's just special XD haha and he would, he'd be a perfect model even if he's slightly awkward with his long limbs x)

And I'm so sorry for the extra-late reply ;____;

Yeah, and I'm sort of too... Fidgety to do one job for the rest of my life, so I'm probably gonna quit a lot of jobs and get new ones during my life x) Okei, eli vähän kauempana sitte XD I can believe that, a student as I am XD Damn, I swear some of my teachers just love to watch us suffer. It's the best thing ever to do in class. Except when I write p0rn I get all embarrassed because it's a public place and I'm always scared that my teacher will come to me and ask what I'm doing and like read it and I would probably die XD I'll rescue you~! Hmm. I should be writing some stuff too but inspiration escapes me :/ So I'm just gonna roll with whatever comes to my mind. I don't know, but I'm craving some HenWook fluff even though I ship Henry and Ryewook in other pairings and I don't even really like HenWook than much :| And I like to read AU!fics. OTL I don't think I'm being too helpful

It is, yeah. So would I, but I'm glad my brother has ambitions XD Unlike lazy, laze me. I don't mind not understanding medical related stuff. I know some things, and I'm good in psychology and psychological things but other than that, not so much.

I used to hate leopard prints to no end until I got to know Mimi XD I actually hate all kinds of animal prints, but I'll forgive him because he looks so good in them. I agree with you x) He's really photogenic too (as we can see from all of his countless selcas XD), so that wouldn't be a problem.

It's okay :) I haven't had that much time to be online anyways (okay, thanks to having internet on my cell phone, I'm pretty much online 24/7), since school has been kicking my ass :/ Even now, I should be making my Finnish progress essay, doing my maths homework that I haven't done in a few days, studying chemistry since I don't want to fall hopelessly behind like in maths and um... Way too much geography homework because our teacher is horrible XD But I can't be bothered right now. I'll rather post my Qmi fic and lag XD

Well as long as you get by and enjoy what you do (at least mostly XD) it's good ;) Joo, vähän kauempaa XD Oh I know, some teachers are sadists. haha I would laugh so much if I'd find a student writing porn. Then again, they're kids and I should tell them no x) Yes rescue me! I wrote a short qmi featuring Heechul fic but it's still missing something and I don't know what to do now :/ I have a million unfinished fics. HenWook is sweet. I'm not a huge fan but they're sweet! I like AUs but I'm bad at writing them since my patience is like... zero XD

My brother is no more ambitious than me so I guess it runs in the family XD But who cares anyway. As long as we somehow get through life.

I still don't like leopard prints unless they are on Mimi *laughs* Or some other very selected persons. In general they look damn horrendous. Aw I miss Mimi's selcas ;___; I need more of those.

Good luck with all that work! I have loads of things to do too but somehow can't get anything finished :/
