Chapter Text
Yeosang is lying down on the couch while watching a puppy video on the TV, starting to feel bored as he's alone. He doesn't know where the two went because the only thing they said earlier was, "We're going out, so don't go anywhere!"
He hugs a cushion close to his chest tightly and giggles at how cute the puppy in the video is. Then, Mingi appears in his mind. Is he doing okay? I really miss him. I shouldn't have left him just like that yesterday… What if he got sick?
The questions that are bombarding his mind are starting to make him feel nervous, worrying about the younger. San did say he'll talk to Mingi, but then he didn't say anything this morning. Did Mingi not respond at all?
He sits up on the couch, biting his lower lip nervously while fidgeting with the cushion's tag. He looks in the direction of the front door when he hears passcode sounds, stands up instantly and runs there instantly.
"Guys, about Mingi—" his words were cut off when he noticed who's standing in front of him. Not San, not Wooyoung, but Mingi. His best friend, his precious person, the only one that Yeosang romantically loves and adores so much. Mingi is standing in front of him, looking good as usual, but he can see how unwell the male is.
"Hi," Mingi mutters softly, cheeks and ears heating up as he's feeling slightly embarrassed. "I… uh… I got you a whole strawberry chocolate cake. Heard from Woo that you're craving for it. I don't know if you wanna eat it since I—oof!"
The male's words were interrupted by a sudden tight hug. He blinks his eyes in shock as he realises how tightly Yeosang is hugging him, so he freezes, hands unsure of what to do.
"This is the part where you hug me back, silly." Yeosang whispers against the younger's neck, and Mingi blushes in embarrassment for the late reaction before he wraps his left arm around the elder's waist tightly.
Mingi presses a soft kiss against the elder's temple, which makes the older pull away slightly from the hug to look up at him. Yeosang tiptoes a bit to press kisses against the younger's jawline, which made him giggle in response.
"Let's sit and talk while you eat your cake."
"You bought this whole cake just for me to eat alone?"
The younger bites his lower lip shyly and nods his head. Yeosang smiles widely, then holds Mingi's left hand with his right one to lead him to the dining table. Mingi pulls a chair for the older and sits across from him after Yeosang takes a seat.
Yeosang helps Mingi to pull the cake out of the box, cutting it and then taking a bite with the given plastic spoon. Mingi looks at him anticipatingly, quite nervous as he doesn't know what it tastes like. The older widens his eyes and hums, nodding his head as a wide smile appears again on his face.
"This is so good, Minmin. You sure you don't want a bite?" Yeosang asks before laughing out when the younger opens his mouth, signalling for the older to feed him. "You're such a big baby. My big baby."
At the last sentence, Mingi's heart flutters and is beating so fast right now as he's nervous even though it's not visible. He eats a spoonful of cake that Yeosang feeds him and nods, agreeing that the cake is indeed delicious. Yeosang puts the spoon down, wipes his lips with a tissue, pushes the cake to the side for a while and holds Mingi's hands with his.
"I'm ready to hear and talk. Take your time, Minmin."
Yeosang says softly as he flashes a smile at Mingi, trying to calm his jitters as he can feel how nervous the younger is. Mingi smiles back, feeling so thankful for the reassurance.
"I'm sorry, Sangie. I hope my words don't sound like excuses, but I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for not being honest with you about what I've been doing, for letting that guy hurt your feelings, for not noticing how you feel about me, for being so stupid and oblivious, and for hurting you. You mean so much to me; you're the only person that I wanna be good to, actually. I…"
Mingi trails his words, breathing shakily as he feels the emotions building up inside of him. He inhales and exhales slowly, trying to not pressure himself, as he doesn't want to cry in front of the older before he continues.
"I'm sorry I'm late, but I like you too. I've been thinking so much about you lately, and I realised many things while talking to Sannie and Youngie earlier today. I like you so much that I hate the thought of you having someone else as your boyfriend, and I get jealous whenever people approach you to get your number."
By now, the older's eyes are so wide that it seems like they could pop out any second upon hearing Mingi's confession. To be honest, Yeosang thought that he'd be rejected, but he's not going to lie; a teeny tiny part of him believed in Wooyoung's words about how Mingi likes him, so he's been waiting to talk to the younger ever since.
"I like you so damn much that I even imagined a lot of romantic and cliché things to do with you, that I wanna learn more recipes so I can cook for you, and that I wanna hold your hand and hug and kiss you always. So Sangie, will you be my lover? Will you forgive me? Be with me forever? Let me take care of you, protect you and make you happy always?"
Yeosang smiles widely as his eyes get teary and nods his head happily in response while saying "yes" a few times. Mingi got up from his seat and went to Yeosang and hugged him tightly as the older did the same thing.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, then pulled away from the hug. Mingi leans down to press soft kisses against the elder's forehead, down to his nose and lips. Yeosang giggles as it's ticklish before wrapping his wrists around Mingi's neck.
"I'm sorry for lashing out at you and leaving you just like that. I feel so bad, and I was worried, wondering how you were. And I'm sorry for not texting or calling you. I was shocked at myself for confessing like that. Minmin, what that guy said to me isn't your fault. You don't have to be sorry about it, about what you did before, or about not noticing my feelings for you. You may be oblivious, yes, but you're not stupid. I understand, so please don't beat yourself up. Also, you looked unwell when you got here. Are you sick?"
Yeosang places his right palm against Mingi's left cheek, trying to feel if he has a fever or not. The younger giggles, then shakes his head before taking the elder's right hand in his, holding it gently, and presses a deep kiss on the back of his hand.
"I didn't really sleep well last night 'cause I was thinking of so many things, but I'm okay. I'll feel better after a long rest later."
"Wait here," Yeosang told Mingi as he headed to the guest room and walked out with some pillows as well as a blanket in his hands. Mingi takes those from his lover and looks at him confusingly.
The older arranges the pillows nicely on the couch, motions for Mingi to come sit, and then Yeosang sits next to him before covering their legs with the blanket. "Now we can rest together. Do you wanna watch something?" Yeosang asks as he looks at the younger, smiling from ear to ear.
Mingi looks back at him, taking in the elder's ethereal facial features as he leans in slowly before nuzzling his nose against Yeosang's gently. He can literally feel the elder's breath against his face, which increases his heart rate.
The way Yeosang is looking at him isn't calming his heart down. The beautiful, sparkling brown orbs looking at him with love in them, which is driving him insane. Mingi cups Yeosang's left cheek with his right hand ever so gently as if the older is the most fragile thing ever.
"I love you so much. I've never felt emotions this strong for someone. You make me wanna do every single thing for you, and I'm not complaining at all. Can I kiss you?"
Yeosang is trying his best to not lose his sanity, as it's the first time he's being held like this by Mingi and the first time he's been absolutely close with him. Countless thoughts are running in his mind, and all of them are good; it's just he doesn't know how to really digest this.
"I love you so much more, my Minmin. I know, it's the same for me too. Yes, please. I've been waiting for so long. Kiss me, please…"
Mingi wastes no time after hearing the elder's soft plea. He brushes his nose against Yeosang's, pulling out a shy smile from the older before he captures the elder's lips in between his. The feeling of Yeosang's lips slotting with his is the best feeling ever, and he feels intoxicated by how good the older tastes.
Soft hums slipped past Yeosang's lips as he wrapped his wrists around Mingi's neck, his right fingers finding their home in the younger's hair, and he tugged on it lightly, signalling that he wanted more. Mingi presses his left hand on the seat of the couch to stabilise himself, then tilts his head to the side to deepen the kiss without breaking it.
Yeosang couldn't get enough of how soft and plump Mingi's lips are that he parted his lips a bit to bite the younger's lower lip gently before pulling it and releasing it teasingly. Mingi could feel how hot his neck, face and ear were because of that.
That action causes Mingi to break the kiss with a smooch sound, pushing Yeosang to make him lie back on the couch before he hovers on top of the older and looks down at him.
"You're so fucking beautiful," Mingi says breathlessly as he bites his lower lip while staring at his lover shamelessly. Yeosang smiles shyly, bringing his hands to rest against the younger's chest.
"So are you, my Minmin. You're always so pretty, so cool, so hot effortlessly. And now you're mine."
Mingi chuckles lowly upon the words and then nods his head twice in response, agreeing to them. "I'm all yours, precious. Will always wanna be just yours."
They look at each other, sharing eye contact that makes Mingi feel his heart flutter, which makes him lean down to press soft kisses against the elder's forehead before he moves down to bury his face at the crook of Yeosang's neck. He inhales the elder's good scent, pressing wet kisses against the right side of the elder's neck, and that pulls a gasp out of the elder's lips.
Yeosang closes his eyes and squints them at the moment. Mingi bit on his skin before sucking on it to leave a really visible mark. He flutters his eyes open and is met with Mingi's gaze before he blushes in embarrassment.
"Just one for now, and you need to get used to all these affections, my baby Maltese. I might do them in public too," Mingi said as he pecked the mark on the elder's neck before moving to lie behind Yeosang, cuddling him from behind, being the big spoon.
While Yeosang is processing Mingi's words, he yelps when the younger bites his ear gently out of the blue. He smacks the younger's hands that were hugging him from behind, which makes Mingi laugh out, loving the cute reaction.
They stay that way, all cuddled and bundled up on the couch. Yeosang could feel his eyelids getting heavy, and he yawns, to which Mingi closes the elder's mouth with his hand.
"I love you so much, my Minmin. Always," Yeosang says sleepily as he closes his eyes, and Mingi smiles widely and then pecks the elder's left cheek. "I love you so much more, my Sangie. Always."
Yeosang hums in response before he drifts off to dreamland while Mingi is stroking his arm. Before he knew it, Mingi fell asleep too with his arms wrapped around Yeosang's body securely.
About a couple of hours later, the front door was opened, and Wooyoung's voice about him worrying since both Yeosang and Mingi aren't responding to him filled the place. San pulls him into a quick back hug when he notices his best friend sleeping on the couch, which makes Wooyoung look at the living room as well.
A soft gasp left Wooyoung's lips, and he covered his mouth with his hands. "They finally did it. Sannie, look at them. They're so cute," Wooyoung gushes softly, walking to the living room and snapping a few pictures of them sleeping in that position.
San stood there with a wide smile on his face, feeling proud and contented that they finally got together. He pulls Wooyoung into their room as the younger seems to not be able to stop taking pictures, and he doesn't want them to wake up because of it.
"Our work here is done. Let's get our well-deserved rest, Youngie."
"You mean our sexy, well-deserved rest."
"Not today 'cause the kids are outside."
"Aww," Wooyoung says in a pouting manner before he becomes happy again when San showers his face with kisses and promises him a good massage after showering.
