Chapter Text
Jooheon stirred from his sleep naturally, feeling a little sore but incredibly refreshed after a needed long nights sleep. He and his boyfriend, Changkyun (who was still fast asleep on his chest), spent all day the previous day unpacking the last of their belongings and putting the final basic touches on their new apartment in Boston, Massachusetts. Even if Jooheon could never pronounce the state’s name right, he was excited to experience new things in America, Changkyun at his side.
Just like now. Jooheon resisted his urge to stretch his body out for the sake of Changkyun, who was clung to his body in such a way that could rival a koala bear. His coconut brown hair was strewn about against his forehead and Jooheon’s chest, tickling his bare skin. His face was relaxed completely, his plump lips parted just slightly, and his eyelashes resting against his pink-dusted cheeks so beautifully, Jooheon could cry. The sun was leaking through the slits in their blinds, glowing against Changkyun’s sun kissed skin.
Maybe it was because it was their first time waking up in their new apartment, or because Jooheon was still a bit groggy with sleep, but he was hit suddenly with an overwhelming sense of affection for Changkyun. His heart pounded in his chest as he stared fondly at Changkyun’s sleeping face, a smile on his face. He never felt so content and in love.
Jooheon ran his fingers through Changkyun’s hair, leaning down to press a little kiss to his forehead. The younger boy shifted just slightly and nuzzled his face against Jooheon’s chest, but stayed sound asleep. Jooheon couldn’t help but giggle.
“Hey,” he whispered, rubbing Changkyun’s ear between his fingertips. “Kyunnie. Wake up, Kyunnie.”
Changkyun’s eyes popped open and he blinked with an unfocused gaze, slowly lifting his head and looking around. He groaned a little, squeezing his eyes shut again and rubbing them with his fist. Jooheon watched him wake up wordlessly, his fond smile never once leaving his face. His heart beat faltered when Changkyun’s sleepy gaze finally met his own. He was so whipped.
“Good morning, sunshine,” Jooheon spoke in English, his grin widening when Changkyun breathed out a little chuckle through his nose.
“Good morning, hyung,” he mumbled, his voice gruff from sleep. “How long have you been awake?”
“Not long.” Jooheon ran his hand up and down Changkyun’s shirtless back. Changkyun hummed at the touch, once more resting his head against Jooheon’s chest. He rolled over so he was basically laying on top of Jooheon, pulling their comforter up higher over their bodies and snuggling impossibly closer to his hyung. Jooheon wrapped his arms around Changkyun and gave him a gentle squeeze.
“I don’t wanna move,” he murmured, letting his head fall back against the pillows and his eyes close. “This is so cozy.”
“Mmh, I know,” Changkyun sighed, planting the smallest of kisses along Jooheon’s collarbone. “But, I’m hungry and I wanna go out for breakfast.”
Jooheon whined, “Go out? Already? I don’t know English well enough to go out to eat.”
“Aw, hyung, are you nervous?” Changkyun teased. He bit down on Jooheon’s collarbone, drawing a chuckle from the boy under him. “We don’t have any food here right now. I can order for you, it’s okay.”
“Ugh, fine,” Jooheon grumbled. “But later. I’m too comfortable and warm.”
Changkyun giggled, nuzzling his head into the crook of Jooheon’s neck. “No more than an hour of lazing around in bed. Deal?”
“Two hours.”
“One and a half.”
“Deal.”
