Baekhyun was speechless as he stared up at Chanyeol. Chanyeol stared right back down at him, his eyes daring and annoyed.

"Cat got your tongue?" He asked, his deep voice making Baekhyun quiver in his place. The latter shook his head yet continued to say nothing. Chanyeol raised an eyebrow and laughed sarcastically, lifting a hand up to caress Baekhyun's soft jawline.

"You know, now that I've taken a closer look, you're not as scary as I thought." He spoke again, still tracing along Baekhyun's skin.

"Scary?" Baekhyun finally bucked up the courage to say something, frowning slightly as he silently demanded an answer.

"Yeah. Haven't you realized that during your little mission to seduce me, that you may have come off a bit scary? Especially considering that we hardly spoke before. It was a bit intimidating." Chanyeol confessed, his gaze still stern as he continued to look at Baekhyun, who was now looking anywhere else but at the latter on top of him.

"Baekhyun talk to me instead of making it even more awkward by staying silent." The taller demanded, his voice deep and full of warning.

"Sorry," Baekhyun murmured, his cheeks tinted with a light pink, "I just dont know what to say." Why the fuck am I so nervous? He thought, biting his bottom lip.

"And why's that? Because I've finally caught you red handed?" Baekhyun nodded with an embarrassed expression. He never expected Chanyeol to find out, he'd always thought that the latter was clueless. He looked away, his gaze landing on the notepad, which was open on the page of the list. His eyes widened. So thats how he knows.

"Well, if it means anything, I was kinda falling for your trick. That is-- until I stumbled across your little checklist."

"Wh-what?" Baekhyun stuttered, looking up at Chanyeol, wide eyed. His heart rate was practically through the roof as he

"I mean, if you weren't a-- cunning little shit-- then I may have fallen for it. You've got everything. The looks, the voice, the body shape. Youre perfect Baekhyun. Or you would be, if it wasn't for your intentions." Chanyeol growled and raked his eyes up and down Baekhyuns body, licking his lips.

A sudden rush of confidence took over Baekhyun and he brought his hands up to wrap around the latter's neck, his expression lustful, all traces of nerves gone.

"Oh really?" He said, raising an eyebrow. He smiled cheekily at Chanyeol.

"So what you're saying is," He pulled the taller down so that his lips were right next to Chanyeol's ear, "I still have a chance?" He breathed, his hot breath fanning against Chanyeol's already warm neck.

"W-Well--- I--"

"Baek! We're home!" A shrill shout came from downstairs, presumably from Baekhyun's mother, who had just arrived back at home, along with his father.

Baekhyun groaned as Chanyeol let out a sigh of relief. The two got up off of the floor and dusted themselves off.

"We should go downstairs to greet them. They'll want to know who you are." Baekhyun said and walked out of the door before Chanyeol could even nod his head. The latter followed him dumbly as Baekhyun led him down the stairs.

"Baekhyun!" His mother said as they walked into the living room. The elder woman stood up and engulfed her son into a hug, her gaze settling on the person behind him.

"And who are you?" She asked, smiling warmly. Chanyeol cleared his throat and stepped forwards slightly.

"I'm Chanyeol, Miss. Ive come here to work with Baekhyun hyung for an assignment." He introduced, watching as Baekhyun nodded his head in agreement, a frown adorning his face at the word hyung.

"Ah, I see. Well, you boys head back up and continue. Chanyeol, if it gets too late, you're welcome to stay for the night. Just make sure that your parents are informed."

The two males smiled and nodded, walking hastily out of the door, making their way back up to Baekhyun's room.

"Stay the night, eh?" Chanyeol joked when they got into the room. He walked over to Baekhyun's bed and flopped down onto it, laughing at his own statement.

"Did you know how fucking embarrassing that was?" He heard Baekhyun hiss at him from across the room, "not only did you feel the need to over exaggerate the hyung part but you also decided to put your fucking boner on full view!"

Chanyeol's eyes widened as he looked down, completely forgetting about his initial plan. He looked back up at Baekhyun with the same wide eyes.

"Shit I completely forgot about that." He said, staring as Baekhyun tried his hardest to calm down.

"You know what. Its okay. It was a mistake. Calm down. It was just a mistake. You're such an idiot, yeol!"

They both froze in their places as Baekhyun spoke.

"Yeol?" Chanyeol questioned, overwhelmed by Baekhyun's name choice. The latter looked down at the floor, refusing to respond to Chanyeol.

"Hmm. I think I quite like the name Yeol. But only if i can call you Baek."
