Degrees of Intimacy. - Seongjoong.

"Hongjoong.."
I sighed and put a hand on his cheek, caressing it.
"I have to pay for it since it was you protecting me."

"No, it's fine, I have the money."
He chuckled and kissed my palm.

"But Joongie..."
I weakly sat up and started playing with his hair.

"No buts, dear. It's all okay."
He smiled and pulled me closer gently, by my waist.

"You're so sweet."
I hugged his head and laid my head on it.

"Oh you're precious, my love."
He snuggled up closer to me and hugged my waist gently yet securely.

"Let me go outside with you, the fresh air might help."
I slightly pulled away and looked at him, still holding me close and secure.

"I don't want to let go of you, Seonghwa."
His arms slightly spread and pulled me closer.

"You can carry me if you wish."

"I do."
He picked me up in a bridal style with the blankets still on me and then walked out of the van.

I giggled and hugged his neck. He was holding me very securely as we walked to the policemen.

"So... you guys a couple or?"
A policeman with red hair lifted an eyebrow.

"We aren't."
Hongjoong shook his head and sighed.

"Well, you look like you want a relationship with this guy."
The same cop chuckled and pointed at me.

"I... I think that this is a trick question."
He looked at the cop and chuckled too.

"I actually if you saw you two walking around wouldn't think that you can carry him that easily."
Another cop started laughing.

"Oh cmon man, he broke that guys two bones with his bare hands and gave him a concussion."
The same red haired cop laughed and hit the shoulder of that other cops.

"H... huh? You broke his two bones? A concussion?"
I widened my eyes at Hongjoong.

Hongjoong chuckled and kissed my forehead.
"Don't worry about that, love."
After saying that, he kissed my forehead again and then my cheek.

"No you guys are fucking with our brains, you are definitely dating."
A cop pointed at us and started laughing.

"Not at all."
I chuckled quietly and pulled myself closer to Hongjoong, snuggling my head underneath his chin and closing my eyes. I trusted him fully with my whole body and self.

He chuckled nervously but I felt his grip on me getting slightly tighter.
"We are close, yeah."

"Are you related?"
The third cop asked.

"No, we're not."
He shook his head slightly.

"Then you'll get there soon, me and my wife were almost the same."
The red head smiled widely and leaned against the wall behind him.
"But Seonghwa kinda looks like a girl. How old are both of you?"

"I am nineteen and Seonghwa is twenty. I'm actually gonna be twenty soon enough."
Hongjoong kept a sweet smile on and lovingly rubbed his cheeks into my hair.
