[EN] For you are mine at last - JeffBarcode

Chapter 15

Hello, readers!!!
A few thoughts on the top/bottom situation:

- Both author and translator think of them as a switching couple. For us, who's top or bottom has absolutely nothing to do with age, body type, a particular role in a gay relationship or any other social gender construction. For us it's about intimacy and feeling good and trusting your partner (and JBC give us so much of that vibe 💜).

- The author has written a few other JBC fics by now (lucky me lol) and in the other ones Barcode is bottom and they switch. This particular fic was written what feels like a long time ago and when we think back and discuss the dynamics of their sex scenes, it's clear for us why it was naturally developed as Barcode being top.

- We also defo don't follow the ideia that the order of the ship name indicates a role of being top/bottom, older/younger or more masculine or more dominant or whatever it is it makes us imagine how gay sex life should be. For us a ship name should just follow the order of what sounds better and good thing it's JeffBarcode because it sounds so much better than BarcodeJeff lol. But we definitely don't get this ideia of "oh now is BarcodeJeff because Code is taller" or something. What being taller has to do with being top or bottom anyways?!

 
Anyways, hopefully we answered some questions. Bear in mind this is fiction and we are here to enjoy and have fun. We love these two so, so much!!!
May is coming and our beloved boys are going to Korea, we're so excited!!!

"You should stay there a little longer." Jeff says quietly as he leaves a kiss on Barcode's back, still in the shower.

He only gets a nod in response when Barcode gets under the water again and Jeff gets out without bothering to dry himself, just wrapping a towel around his waist while reaching for another one for when the younger one needs it. Jeff leaves it next to the shower and finally leaves for the bedroom.

For a moment Jeff stares at the unmade bed and takes a deep breath for what feels like the first time. Everything seems so surreal that the scenes of the last few days keep going over in his head and he ends up with a silly smile on his lips as he stares back at the bathroom door, listening to the shower still running.

Finally Jeff dries himself off and gets dressed, deciding to let his hair dry naturally. When he arrives in the kitchen, he checks what is available for a decent breakfast and starts preparing it on a tray. Two mugs, two glasses, two plates... When he's busy with the eggs, he jumps when he's startled by the figure crossing the door.

"Oh my, are you trying to kill me—" Jeff's tone quickly drops to a whisper when he comes face to face with Jesse. "What are you doing here?"

"Wow, if Hia wants me to leave, just say so." Jesse answers simply, going to the fridge.

"You said you were going to Mom's!" Still whispering, Jeff now sounds a little frantic.

"I did, but I changed my mind, what is going on—" As Jesse turns around with the juice jug, he stares at the tray on the table and widens his eyes. "No?! Are you serious right now?"

"Shhh." Jeff shushes, completely flustered now, and then looks back in his room's direction.

Jesse does a little dance in celebration and tries a soundless laugh. Moving closer, He hugs and kisses Jeff on the cheek quickly.

"I'll behave, I promise." He says when he's pushed away by his brother, but soon Jesse takes the lead on the stove. "Let me help you with this."

Jeff is still tense for a while, but he soon accepts the help and, when he has the breakfast tray ready, he goes back to his room.
