[ exo : daytime rendezvous ]

daytime rendezvous
fandom exo
pairing kailu (luhan/kai)
style drabble
length 264
i tried to keep it pg. exo prompt generator for this pair: prostitution/don't make a sound/pg

They meet during the day but in the dark. In those alleyways that no one traverse into, even if they might smell like something awful and contain perhaps, actual things that rot.

They can't meet in the night, when Jongin was lantern lit and curled under someone else, a customer with a fake name, a customer with no name.

A customer that couldn't be Luhan, not with his meager income singing cover songs at bars when Jongin made a fortune for every kiss and another for every whimper and moan. Luhan hated it, for he wanted to own Jongin.

But he couldn't, not outside of the dark alleyway of the daytime.

When they meet they spoke in whispers, where Jongin would call him hyung, barely audible, barely a sound but to Luhan, it was everything. He would just be able to make Jongin's face there, filling up the parts made of shadows with his memory and feeling them with kisses that fluttered rather than stayed.

He wanted to hear Jongin say his name, say his name with an I love you and an I want you. Say and say and shout and scream and moan, but not whisper but he had to make do with just that. With whisper, quiet, scared and trembling in his arm.

And when they parted, Luhan got to see Jongin clearly just once, the sunlight hitting his face as he walked back into a world where he was Kai, a high-paid escort with debts to pay and Luhan was a poor man who couldn't buy Jongin out of Kai.

Okay. So, um, hello ^^; This is a bit awkward, I know, but let me explain. I found your collection of Kai-centric fics in AO3, but when I went back to leave a comment, it disappeared. [I'm guessing you deleted it?] Somehow, I remembered your username and found your writing journal through your AO3 profile, so here I am. I hope you don't freak out or anything because you received a random comment T___T

Anyway, down to business. Words cannot express how much I love this drabble. Despite its length, I was able to picture everything clearly in my mind. For some reason, reading it was like watching a short film play out filled with autumn colors, fleeting touches, a longing so deep it intensifies after every parting. Theirs is a beautiful love story, but painful at the same time, because they're not together, and probably never will [although a part of me is hopeful it ends happily in some perfect world LOL].

This was a very nice read, so thank you for writing this. It would be interesting to see this transformed into a full-blown story because I see potential in it, but that is just my personal opinion so please don't feel pressured ^^; And I see that you've written a bunch of other Lukai drabbles, so expect some comments from me when I get around to reading them ^o^

A typo? I never noticed O.o It's unfortunate you deleted it, is there a chance you will repost it?

I'm so happy you didn't freak out! I was really nervous of what your reaction would be, so you have no idea how relieved I was when I saw that it was well-received ;u; And yay for a longer version! I have a feeling it might make me cry, though, because this drabble was already sad, so I will just have to pray you don't make it too sad ^^;

I thank your friend for getting you into Lukai; more shippers are always welcome! ^o^ Especially now that... you know u__u Again, thank you for not freaking out, and don't worry about the shameless porn! Porn is always welcome so keep it coming LOL.

Yay! ^o^ Take your time with the collection, regardless if it's for Lukai or just EXO overall, we can always use more drabbles! I'm not against longfic, but there are days I prefer something shorter [only because I don't have enough time to read sometimes sobs].

If you mean unpolished by questionable, there's nothing a good edit doesn't solve, so don't fret over it too much ^^ I will hold you to that happy ending, then! I just want a Lukai longfic where nobody dies and they end up together, why is this so hard to look for ;_____; I have a lot I want to write for this ship too, so let's work hard on our WIPs! \(^o^)/

Wow, your friend must be a really dedicated shipper to put together a pimp post *____* I went through both pages and I'm so ╥﹏╥ Clutches at my heart my poor feelings! ╥﹏╥ I'm... not actually surprised you didn't pay attention to them until your friend told you about them, to be honest, because Lukai is one of those ships you either don't notice to or never ship at all ^^; Just a small tip, though: that predebut picture isn't Lukai; they're two members of Seventeen ^^;

I eventually read what I've been recced, especially if they're longfic, but usually one look at the word count and mind shuts down LOL. Hopefully that is not the case next week when I finally have time! ^^;

Is this your first time dabbling in RPF? ^^ I agree, I think part of what makes EXO enjoyable to write about is the number of members and ships. Sobs I don't think what I write is readable or even passable, but one day I will share with you u__u

I thought LuKai just made no sense

LOL!! Don't worry, that's a really normal reaction by someone who doesn't ship them ^^; I think for some shippers, everything began in the MAMA MV because of that moment you mentioned, but for others it began as far back as the second teaser.

I actually didn't know they were from Seventeen until someone pointed it out, but I've always known those boys weren't Lukai because it never clicked to me ^^;

Historical RPF? How does that work? Do you ship two historical figures together or? I'm so intrigued O_O Cries okay, one day when I stop being embarrassed I will link you!!

So you never watched the teasers? And cries number two!! That's already so high for someone's ranking, usually the ship is either within somebody's top 10 or nonexistent ;o;
