When I'm with you

2

I run back and forth a few times like this, everything piled onto my bed and other furniture while Seokjin respectfully remains in the entrance even though he can see me very well from where he is, a sight that makes him resist an amused chuckle because I currently remind him of Jungkook, the young messy one who always runs around when he forgets to clean behind him during the day.

Slightly out of breath, I drop the last of my findings on my dresser and then take one quick look around the house before nodding to myself. That should do it, I think I got everything.

And if not... I can always kick him out if he makes any undesirable comments, it's fine. I have the power here, it's my house.

"Okay, sorry about that, you can come in now" I utter bashfully after making a few steps in his direction and the man clears his throat before walking over with a pinched smile that makes me purse my lips a bit. Way to make a first impression huh...

He teasingly looks around us, as if looking for anything that I could've forgotten and I hold my breath in suspense as I follow his gaze nervously, should I have made one last inspection? Did I overlook something obvious?

A quiet chuckle tells me that no, I didn't forget anything and the blush that coats my cheeks in response is entirely out of my control.

In a mean to get his attention on something else to hide my embarrassment, I motion a hand to the open rooms surrounding us, eyebrows narrowing the smallest bit when I can see his smile grow larger, as if he can read through me with just a look.

"How about I give you a tour of the house? The upper floor is all yours and I don't intend to go there without your permission while you stay here, but the main floor here will have to be shared, so maybe we should have some rules to make sure no one gets annoyed unnecessarily" I explain to him while pointing at the stairs, where his gaze falls on with curiosity.

"I'm good with rules, I'll respect everything you say so just tell me what I can and cannot do, it's the least I can do since you're allowing me to stay here. And... did I hear that well? I get a whole floor to myself?" he asks in light disbelief and I respond with a small shrug.

"Yeah, it sounds like it's big but it's smaller than you think, the second floor only takes about half of the house's size, you'll understand once you go in later. I'll start working on dinner while you make yourself at home there, but for now I just want you to know what is where" I answer, and when he agrees with me, a curious look printed over his face, I start leading the way around the house to show him the bathroom, my bedroom, the kitchen, then the living room and the backyard, which I rarely use.

It's not too big so the layout is pretty easy to remember, and when we end the tour at the bottom of the stairs, I hum as I start thinking about possible rules that we could apply during our time living together.

I grab a handful of my hair to get it out of the way by tying it up with a spare hair tie I always keep around and then run a hand across my heated nape with a deep exhale, completely unaware of the effect this has on Seokjin who has to hold his breath to resist an obvious inhale, his eyes locked on the suddenly exposed skin, every little soft hair there tempting his soul.

What would they feel against his fingertips? He wants to find out so much.

"Well, the rules would be pretty simple, quite honestly. If you can help it, only use your bathroom upstairs so we can have our personal space as much as possible. My bedroom is off-territory, obviously, but you can use the kitchen and living room anytime you want, just maybe avoid watching the tv with the volume too high if I'm sleeping and clean after yourself to avoid making a mess. What else...
