it was around the third full week of jeno looking after jaemin. and everyday, the two fought. everyday, they yelled at each other. everyday, they wanted to tear each other apart.
jeno sighed for the nth time.
it was summer for fuck's sake.
he could be doing literally anything else right now, but no. he's back at jaemin's for the millionth time, now staying in his room after ms. na had left to the night.
however, today jaemin seemed off.
as much as jeno still disliked him for his cold attitude and ruthless tongue, he noticed the latter real silent today. jaemin hasn't made a single comment about jeno being in his room at all, like he always does.
currently, jeno was off sitting in the corner of his room with his phone while jaemin was laying in his bed with his earphones plugged in his ears, staring up at the ceiling with an unreadable expression on his face.
he's been doing that for two straight hours.
and jeno's starting to worry, yet he doesn't know why.
'he's so rude. only thing he does is talk shit. he thinks he's all cool because of his 'bad boy' phase. why do i care? why am i doing this?' jeno thought, as his body slowly stood up and walked towards jaemin.
it was around eight p.m, and it was dark outside. the only thing audible for jeno to hear was the younger's soft breathing.
jaemin felt his bed dip in beside him, and turned himself to see jeno looking at him with sympathy.
it was quite obvious to tell jaemin was sad.
neither of them said anything however, and just stared at each other. that went on for a while, until the brown haired boy took his earphones out of his ears and paused his music.
"what do you want?" jaemin mumbled, gloominess very present in his tone as he looked at jeno with the eyes of a lost puppy.
jeno couldn't help but feel a soft spot forming in his heart for jaemin in that moment.
don't get him wrong, jeno thought jaemin was absolutely beautiful. it was just the personality and the talking back and the attitude he didn't like.
but right now, the bad things weren't showing.
and jeno liked that fact.
"for you to tell me what's wrong." jeno finally responded, his voice soft in jaemin's ears. said boy did not expect that to come out of his mouth.
hell, jaemin's never been asked that in his life. nobody's ever asked him what was wrong.
and for a second, it seemed tempting to just spill every little worry to jeno. but jaemin barely knew him, plus he doesn't even like him (he's lying to himself in that last part though).
the brown haired boy grabbed one of his pillows and cuddled into it, looking up at jeno once more before just slightly shaking his head.
"you cuddle your pillows?" jeno asked, a small smile playing on his lips as he found it to be absolutely adorable.
jaemin realized he just did his super private thing of cuddling pillows in front of jeno, and blushed a deep red of embarrassment. to him, cuddling something soft just helped him. it always managed to relax his mind and temper.
"s-shut up. cuddling just works for me, alright?" jaemin snapped, though his voice was muffled because he was hiding himself in his pillow with every word he spoke.
"hey, i'm not saying it's a bad thing. it's kinda cute." jeno said, watching how jaemin really liked cuddling. it was literally the cutest thing jeno had seen, in his humble opinion.
"come here." jeno told quietly, patting the spot dangerously close to him. again, jaemin flushed red. "why?" he questioned, barely above a whisper.
"you seem to like cuddling. so come here."
jaemin's heart skipped a beat at his words. or two. or maybe even three. but come on, -- he wasn't about to comply right away.
"i-i don't know how to cuddle a p-person." jaemin whispered, mentally slapping himself for stammering so much.
jeno laughed. jaemin was just too cute right now.
"who said you were the one doing the cuddling?" the black haired boy asked, jaemin's face turning into pure confusion.
"i thought two people cuddle each other. is that not what happens?" he questioned.
"just come here and you'll find out." jeno said, a smile still on his face as watch jaemin slowly leave the pillow's grasp and reach for jeno's instead.
jaemin felt the warmest arms wrap around him and pull him in closer. immediately, he hid his face in jeno's neck to hide the blush growing on his face. and while at it, he inhaled the latter's easing cherry scent. jeno could feel jaemin's soft breathing against his skin, and how he clung onto him like a koala.
it was an adorable sight to see, really.
the younger slowly draped one leg over jeno's, which the other boy happily took as a sign that jaemin was enjoying it.
and in jaemin's opinion- cuddling jeno was way better than cuddling his pillow.
way, way better.
and so in silence and for the rest of the time they had together that day, jeno ran his hands through jaemin's soft hair and listened to his soft breathing until it slowed, which meant jaemin had fallen asleep.
although he didn't get to know what was wrong with him when he was awake, jeno was still satisfied with the outcome of everything. he ended up learning something new about jaemin.
which, of course, was his eternal love for cuddling.
