[team sonic] odd
I'm posting this as a new start, but the beginning word is from here.
Title from SHINee's Odd.
"Freak."
"Weirdo."
"Crazy."
Taemin still remembers the words. They still sting, landing on his skin, drop by drop like acid rain, slowly wearing monuments, cities, universes to the ground.
He dances the frustration away, smiles at the mirror, cocks his hip and licks his lips and goes back to his room and surrounds himself with soft things, teddy bears with black button eyes, faces that stay quiet and never judge.
"Hi," the boy says, and Taemin just nods and keeps walking.
"Hi," the boy says the next day, and Taemin barely spares a glance, his feet leading him inexorably towards silence.
"Hi," the boy says the day after that, and Taemin wishes he would just go away.
What does he want? he asks Alfred the bear, face balding from age, white fur yellow-tinged. The bear doesn't reply.
"Hi," the boy says, and Taemin remembers all the time the boy's messed up in the group dance class. They shouldn't have been in the same level at all; he doesn't know what the teacher was thinking.
"Hi," the boy says, and his voice is rough; he's been practicing long into the night, when everyone else has gone home. He's getting better though.
He only made a few mistakes today, he tells Alfred, perched on his bed. Alfred seems pleased.
"You're such a freak," they whisper, after he turns down another girl, another boy, it's all the same.
Taemin sees the boy, and braces himself. This is where it ends. He looks down at his hands, they're trembling but the vibration is so slight no one would notice.
"Freak." The words is still echoing off the walls.
"Hi," the boys says, and smiles. Taemin blinks. The echoes have stopped.
He opens his mouth without even thinking.
