➳
Jaemin arrives with two minutes to spare and sends a proud smile to the brunet as he enters his apartment. Haechan makes sure he shows his eyeroll before hugging the male, hiding his face in the back of Jaemins neck.
It feels so nice having the male right here with him. Haechan usually makes use of his plushies and teddy bears, especially Choko, but having Jaemin to cuddle with is so much better.
"I love you", Haechan mumbles, wanting Jaemin to know and remembering the fact that it's been a while since he's said it.
"I love you too", Jaemin says, ignoring his heartbeat.
He doesn't mean it like that
And his thoughts.
Haechan waddles them to his room and gently pushes Jaemin onto his bed and then over to the middle of it. When he has room, he joins the male and smiles when Jaemins arms move around him and he feels Jaemins body right against his.
"We'll switch at some point, but I'm going to enjoy this."
"I'll let you know if I want to switch."
"Okay."
Just the sound of their even breaths and the occasional outside noise is heard. Haechan doesn't know what's happening when he feels Jaemins nose graze his neck until he feels a light kiss pressed against his skin. Jaemin gives him a few more kisses, most of them to the back of his neck but some on the side and even one to his jaw.
When the male stops, Haechan turns over to face him. "I thought I was supposed to give you kisses."
"Do you really think I can be around you and not wanna kiss you?"
Without meaning to, Jaemin makes Haechans heart flutter.
The brunet smiles shyly and moves closer to the boy. "I wanna return the favor."
But instead of immediately following through, Haechan stares at Jaemin, eyes full of adoration, making Jaemin both giddy and nervous with anticipation.
Haechan brings a hand to Jaemins face and connects their lips. He gently caresses his cheek with his thumb. It doesn't take long for Jaemin to melt into the feeling of the warm, inviting mouth against his and the comforting sensation of Haechan soft palm on his face.
The kiss remains slow and chaste, neither wanting to ruin the tranquility.
Jaemins hands go to Haechans waist and slowly move up and down, relaxing the brunet even more. Thinking about this moment, how much he likes kissing Jaemin, how much he loves spending time with him, and how much he likes the male causes Haechan to giggle softly. It ruins the kiss, but when Jaemin sees the soft smile on the males face with his adorable cheeks slightly puffed and eyes still looking at him with the same affection from before, nothing feels ruined at all.
He always reminds me of being in love, Jaemin thinks, once again trying not to completely succumb to his feelings.
"I really like you", Haechan says, trying to ignore the fact that he's not sure "like" is still the right word to describe his feelings.
It's not what Jaemin wants to hear, it never is, yet the earnestness in which Haechans spoken to him, along with the way he's looking at him, is enough to satisfy him.
"I really like you too", Jaemin says, the words coming out quieter than he intended.
Haechan kisses his cheek and wraps his arms around the male. "My turn to cuddle you."
Jaemin chuckles. "I know you mentioned more but if this was your only plan, it would be a good one."
"That reminds me. At what point are we allowed to stop cuddling and do something else? If you say anything less than ten minutes, I'll be upset."
"Twenty?"
"Okay." Haechan runs through everything he has planned in his head. "Just so you know, I did spoil you a little bit."
"Haechan", Jaemin warns.
"Baby, you need to learn how to let other people spoil you and take care of you. I may not wanna piss you off but I am okay going against your wishes when it comes to this."
"But people are always taking care of me!" Jaemin whines.
"Because you haven't been before. And we want to."
Jaemin sighs. He thinks over what Haechan said and snuggles closer, appreciating his effort towards him. Feeling that the hug isn't enough, he kisses him, accidentally making it longer than he meant to. Though it's worth it when he sees the stunned look on the brunets face. Haechan smiles when he sees Jaemins beautiful bright smile and hears his cute giggle.
"I love it when you look at me like that", Jaemin admits.
"How am I looking at you?" Haechan asks, wondering what Jaemin is seeing.
"You're showing your feelings. I can tell you like me. And I'm just guessing here, but it looks like I make you happy."
"You do make me happy. Extremely."
Haechan kisses Jaemins cheek again, not feeling satisfied with the affection. There's no way for him to express the feelings he's still trying to figure out, but affection is a good start.
"Did you never see me look at you like that in high school? Did I hide it that well?"
"Honestly, I'm kinda dumb." The sentence makes the two laugh. After they sober up, Haechan continues. "I really didn't know that you like me. Like, there were times when it seemed like you did feel something but I never let myself think that's what was actually happening. I didn't wanna get my hopes up."
"I didn't know either, to be honest."
"I think that was my fault."
"Doesn't matter now", Jaemin tells him, hoping to convince himself of his words. "All that matters is that we know we like each other and we're doing something about it."
Haechan places a hand on the back of Jaemins neck and pulls him into a kiss, not being able to keep his lips off the male. He's not sure why his words are so endearing or why it reminds him of how perfect he thinks Jaemin is, but something about the boys words just draws the brunet in more and more.
His lips move aggressively against Jaemins, keeping all control of the kiss. Jaemin goes along, happily shocked at the action from Haechan. The only problem is that his energy isn't the same as Haechans so after a few seconds, he laughs. Jaemin does his best to kiss back, not wanting to stop the wonderful attack, but he knows he's making it harder by laughing.
"Having fun?" Haechan asks when he pulls away.
Jaemin nods. "That was very fun. I want to be kissed like that again. Just not now."
"Yeah, cause you'll laugh."
"'Cause your excitement is so amusing and you're so cute."
"Good save with the 'you're so cute'."
Jaemin wraps his arms around Haechans waist, pulling him down and against him, trapping the male in place. Haechan looks down at his lap and plays with his index finger so Jaemin won't see how affected he is.
"You are cute. I think you're so cute and there's so many things about you that are adorable."
"I expect a paragraph later."
Jaemin shrugs. "Okay." Sensing the words, he adds on, "I'm doing it because I want to. I know I'll end up doing it anyway."
Haechan groans. "You're gonna make me fall in love with you."
Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it, Jaemin chants in his mind, not wanting to feel anything from the statement.
"I don't think Jisung would be too upset about that."
"He and Lele will literally scream about what geniuses they are for putting us together."
"We should thank them for that, at least."
"Yeah, but not now though." Haechan rises to his feet, instantly wishing to be back in Jaemins arms but knowing he has something to do. "I'm gonna set up our activity. Wait in here."
"Okay."
Haechan tries not to feel nervous as he decorates his coffee table, laying out all the supplies he bought. The only thing that eases him is the fact that he gets to show Jaemin what he made for him and he's pretty sure Jaemin will like it.
Is this weird? He wonders, staring at down at the chaotically organized arts and crafts stuff on the table.
No, no, it's cute. He'll like it
Not wanting to overthink the activity anymore, Haechan goes into his kitchen and gets out all the snacks he has.
"Hey Jaemin!" He calls. "Do you wanna eat now or later?"
"I don't care!"
"Pick one, please!"
"Is now alright?"
"That's perfect!"
After moving all the snacks to a small blanket on the floor, Haechan takes out all the food he made earlier and sets it out on the dining room table.
He looks around, feeling like he's missing something. His gaze lands on his couch. He stares for a moment, unsure of what he was supposed to do. Haechan looks around and realizes that it's the only thing he didn't change. He quickly finds his fluffiest blankets and softest throw pillows and redoes the couch, liking it much better than how it was before.
Deeming it done, he goes back into his room and finds Jaemin comfortably laying on his bed, smiling at his phone. When Jaemin seems him, he places his phone to the side and holds his arms out. Haechan throws himself onto the bed, aiming for the male. He moves on top of Jaemin and snuggles him.
"Is everything done?" Jaemin asks.
"Yeah. I hope you like it."
"I'm sure I will."
"And if you don't?"
"Cookie, what do you think I'm gonna do? As I said before, I'm perfectly happy just cuddling. I really don't think you could do anything I won't like."
"That makes me feel better." Haechan moves off of him and sits up. "Come on. Let's eat."
Jaemin gets up and notices the hand still near him. He looks up at the brunet, wondering if he's just resting his hand, but he grabs it anyways and smiles. "Your hand looked lonely."
"Oh, this is much better. But really, I love all affection anytime. And I really love it from you."
Jaemin uses Haechans to hand to pull the male right against him and hug him. Haechan blushes at the action and waits a few seconds for his face to calm down before pulling away. He moves behind Jaemin, confusing the boy until his eyes get covered by his hands.
"I thought we were just eating."
"Yeah, but you're gonna see something so I'm showing you now."
"Okay."
Haechan slowly guides Jaemin into the living room and angles him to stand at the front of it, giving him a clear view of everything.
"Okay", he says as he removes his hands and steps back.
Jaemins face breaks out into a smile at the sight of the couch, covered with a fuzzy blanket and similar faux fur throw pillows that match the white fluff on the blanket. His gaze drops down onto the cover table that's been covered with a white table cover, understandable for the large confetti thrown all over it, underneath stacks of colored paper, notebooks, paint, stickers, markers, colored pencils, and what looks like more paper.
He notices the ground where various snacks are laid on a red and black plaid throw blanket.
"I love it", Jaemin says, turning to the male. He bounces on his heels, expressing how much he likes it. "It's so cute!"
"So are you."
Jaemin pulls Haechan into a hug, completely ready to forget about everything he's done just so he can hug him forever.
"We still have to eat", Haechan says with a laugh when he sees the pout on the boys face from him pulling away.
Jaemin grunts unhappily but lets himself be pulled to the table. He sits down across from Haechan and finally looks at what he has to eat.
"Why are you trying to make me cry?" He whines, getting up to hug the brunet.
"I don't want to cry at all but at least tell me these are tears of joy."
"Yep." Jaemin goes silent for a few seconds before asking, "Can I sit next to you?"
Haechan nods and moves his food down and then gets up to help Jaemin move his stuff. When they sit down, Jaemin makes sure their chairs are as close as possible, causing Haechan to laugh.
"You're so cute. And I love being this close to you."
"We're going back to cuddling after we're done out here."
"Okay. And don't worry, I can hold you out here too."
Jaemin quickly presses a kiss to the males cheek before actually beginning to eat.
Within their silence, the two find comfort in their close proximity. Just the slight brushing of their arms causes them to send small smiles to each other.
It feels so nice and comfortable, Haechan hardly understands it. He's sure he can do the same thing with Jisung but everything that's happened since Jaemin arrived makes him feel a way that's unfamiliar to him. But he likes it.
I love you
Haechan wants to say it again, but it's weird to him, why he wants to repeat the phrase, along with do everything he can to prove it to Jaemin.
Noticing the way he's stopped eating and is just staring at his plate, Jaemin grows worried. "Are you okay?"
Haechan quickly looks up at him and nods. "I am. I just...remember when I told you that the joy I felt when you complimented me made me feel odd and I might do something stupid?" Jaemin nods slowly. "I feel that extreme amount of joy again but it's not from a compliment, it's just you. It's...hard to express, which is why I always want to give you affection, because I just like you so much and I don't know what to do."
It should be enough, Jaemin tells himself.
There's no doubt about it, he loves hearing those words and finding out how much the male likes him and that he can see it but the use of "like" is never able to slip his mind.
"I feel the same way", Jaemin admits, eyes softening as he looks at Haechan. "I like you more than I can express."
Clearly
The brunet was going to wait until later but now feels like the perfect time. "This is a date."
Jaemin takes a few seconds to think of a response and then he smiles. "This is the perfect first date. Thank you for doing this."
"Keep it up and we're back to cuddling."
"So should I keep talking?"
Eventually, they finish eating and clean up the dining table before moving to the living room. Both avoid the couch, knowing that nothing will get done otherwise and though they might get off track, they do want to go along with Haechans plan.
"Is there a certain activity we're doing?" Jaemin asks.
"Nope. I do have one requirement though. We have to make something for each other."
"I can't believe you thought you had to tell me that."
Haechan laughs."My bad."
Haechan grabs his speaker and connects if to his phone so he can play music. He considers his playlist options and decides on Christmas music.
Jaemin chuckles when he hears "Last Christmas" start. "Feel free to sing along."
"You can't take it back."
Haechan sings along to the song, making Jaemin smile. Jaemin focuses on drawing straight lines across the paper, enjoying the males voice.
"Don't look, by the way."
"I'll stay over here."
Jaemin nods and begins cutting the paper along the lines he created. Haechan tries not to pay attention to him, though he's curious about what Jaemin is making.
Since Jaemin has to search something, the activity which could be done in thirty minutes or less ends up taking close to an hour to complete, but he is excited when he's done and places the strips of paper to the side while he makes an origami box to put them in.
Because Haechan already made what he wants to give to Jaemin earlier, he doesn't focus as much, mostly vibing to the music and trying not to peek at what the male is doing.
"Okay, done!" Jaemin announces excitedly after carefully tying ribbon around the small paper box.
"Me too", Haechan says, glancing down at his drawing.
Jaemin moves over to him and sits in front of the male so he can watch his reaction. Haechan takes the box and smiles at how cute it is, making sure to be careful with it as he unties the ribbon and then removes the lid. He's glad that he finally gets to see what Jaemin was doing. He picks up a strip and reads what's on it, instantly recognizing the words. He looks up at two more to confirm his guess. Each little strip has song lyrics on it, all seeming to apply to them in some way.
"Do you like it?"
"I think I'm gonna be the one to cry. Come here."
Haechan holds out his arms for Jaemin. When they let go, Haechan locks his arms around Jaemins waist, pulling the boy down to sit between his legs. Not minding it all, Jaemin makes a show of getting comfortable and leans back against the brunet and smiles up at him.
Finding him too cute to resist, Haechan leans down and kisses him before reaching back to his hiding place and getting out everything he made for the male.
He decides to give him the stuff one at a time, starting with his drawing of two dinosaur heads with a heart between them and the phrase 'I love you'.
"I love you too." Next is a jar of Hershey's kisses with a handwritten note on the front that says 'Kisses for when I'm not around'. "But you're here right now", Jaemin tells him and puckers his lips, wanting to get in as many kisses as he can.
"We get distracted very easily", Haechan says after their third kiss.
Jaemin shrugs, not caring one bit. The brunet playfully rolls his eyes and hands him the next thing, which is a card made out of colored cardstock with cute doodles on it.
"Didn't I scold you for drawing these in class?"
"Yeah, and you still worried even though I told you the teachers didn't care."
"My teachers always cared", Jaemin grumbles, thinking about the high expectations his teachers had for him.
"You also told me not to cuss at the teachers."
"Not in front of them!"
"They didn't notice!"
"They looked at us!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Was I annoying in high school?" Jaemin asks, not being able to help the question.
Haechan tightens his grip on him, bringing a slight ease to Jaemin, but not helping much because he doesn't have the answer.
"No. You were, and still are, perfect. No one understood why you worried so much and I was one of those people, but it wasn't annoying. It's nice knowing that you cared about my well-being, even if I didn't. And being careful with other people's feelings isn't a bad thing, you're just not supposed to hurt yourself in the process. I'm very lucky to have met you, Jaemin. I just didn't know that yet."
Your reassurance doesn't help me love you any less
Jaemin groans in his mind, wondering how the male is so perfect. Haechan manages to check off every box on his ideal boyfriend list and it does nothing to make being around him easier.
Only because he means it is he able to smile at the brunet and say, "You're perfect too."
Haechan chuckles, pretending like a bunch of opposing thoughts didn't appear in his mind from those words. To distract himself, he hands Jaemin the next thing.
Upon seeing the decorated matchbox, Jaemin sends a curious look to the boy behind him and opens it to see a tiny bouquet.
"That's so fucking cute", he says in awe, holding up the tiny bouquet. "Where did you get these?"
"Etsy."
"I know I should save my money for more practical items but now, I have a very strong urge to buy mini items."
"Just go crazy giving me Christmas gift ideas. Oh, I gotta tell Mark and Jeno that too. Jisung's been sending me ideas all year."
"He only told me five things in January."
"'Cause you plan ahead. I tried doing that once but then I kept wanting to add on and changing my mind, so I just decided to give myself a deadline."
"That's a good plan if it works."
"Hey, do not attack my procrastinator ways. They haven't failed me as adult."
"Just in school?"
"Who wants to immediately do homework after just coming home? Plus, I had other shit to worry about."
"I'm glad you're not dealing with that stress anymore. This is better for you."
Haechan nods."It is." He looks down at the mini bouquet. "I have one more thing for you."
"Haechan!" Jaemin whines.
"I told you I spoiled you."
"Thank you", Jaemin says softly.
"Anything for you. Here."
Jaemin carefully eyes the item covered in white tissue paper. He removes it and finds a square frame facedown. When he flips it over, he sees that it's a drawing of Milk and Mocha, where Milk is attacking Mocha's face with kisses and there's hearts above them.
"I'm glad you framed it."
"You would've done that, wouldn't you?"
"Mhm. You drew them so we'll", Jaemin compliments, looking back down at the perfectly drawn cartoon bears.
"I did stare at the picture and redo it a couple times before ending up with this."
"It's perfect. Everything you've done today is perfect. I love you."
Nerves flood through Jaemin at the phrase that slipped out of his mouth, especially in this context but Haechan doesn't seem to notice, just hugging him closer and giving him a warm smile. "I love you too."
That's not what I mean
I'm in love with you
To keep himself from blurting out those words, Jaemin reaches over and grabs the bag of gummy worms. Haechan chuckles lightly and leans forward, opening his mouth to be fed one.
"Let's move to the couch. That blanket looks warm."
"It is."
Jaemin places his gifts on the table and clears up his mess before joining Haechan on his couch. While he did that, Haechan moved the snacks onto the table by placing the blanket on top of everything, being careful with Jaemins gifts. He turns on his TV and hands the remote to Jaemin, only to get it right back.
"You pick."
"I gave it too you because I'm indecisive."
"Me too."
"Baby, one of us has to pick something."
"It's not gonna be me."
Haechan gives him a look before scrolling through the movies, trying to figure out which genre is best for them to watch.
"I need some of your input at least."
"Romance."
"Thank you." Description after description is read until Haechan finally finds one he likes, making his "boyfriend" giggle. "What?"
"I just think it's funny how you wanted me to decide but were the most picky. I would've been find with the others."
"Why didn't you say so?"
"Cookie, you didn't even give me a chance to read the first description before wanting to move on."
"But are you actually fine with this? I can change it."
"I'm fine with anything", Jaemin says through a laugh. "You're the one with the problems."
"Whatever."
I cannot tell you how much I love this chapter. Along with whatever the two are, this chapter is my favorite. IT'S SO CUTE AND FLUFFY
So I decided to change something (no, it didn't happen yet)
Just know that :)
*Gears start turning*
WAIT A MINUTE
The way this unintentionally lines up perfectly with what I have planned
... ←that's all I'mma say about that
I love you *MWAH* ༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ
Attempted editing❤️
Oh! Here's what Haechan made
