Chapter Text
“Thank you for loaning me your ears.”
A delicious shiver ran down Chanyeol’s vertebrae, slipping in and out of each disc with the fluidity of mercury.
“Til next time…”
The screen faded to black, but Chanyeol’s vision was already dark, his eyes resting closed in hypnotized bliss. He held his breath in his lungs, unwilling to spoil his current meditative state with the puncturing rumble of exhalation. He waited, the sudden lack of sound diverting his attention to the steady pressure on his ears. But before he could lift his hands to adjust his heavy headphones, a surf-like static welled up through them again, cresting with another wave of fuzzy calm.
“We meet again.”
Chanyeol smiled, letting his breath out in a satisfied huff as the homey voice, all warmth and intimacy, enveloped him in tingly pleasure. Following his signature introduction, the voice was replaced by a sensory symphony of tapping and crinkling sounds, carrying Chanyeol through the dregs of Friday into Saturday morning. He might’ve felt some bite of shame over starting another weekend off alone in his bed, his phone predictably silent and forgotten on his desk, but his neuroses were too busy curling up in the sunny spot of his mind, consumed by the sleep only rich whispers could induce. Not ten minutes later, Chanyeol was snoring, his angular body stilled in the diffused glow of his laptop screen, his heartbeat matching the methodical, fibrous sounds still floating through his ears.
