He squeezes so hard it's a bit painful but Namjoon loves that too. His favorite part is how Jimin presses his little button nose against Namjoon's jugular and hums random tunes deep in his throat. 

Tonight he's humming his favorite Alec Benjamin song, and Namjoon can tell he's close to falling asleep because he trails off, and picks up at a different part in the song, pauses on a yawn and hums the same line again. Namjoon is amazed that his grip is still so strong, even on the brink of unconsciousness. But there's one thing that is especially uncomfortable and Namjoon decides he should address it before Jimin really does fall asleep.

He's got his arms around the small vocalist too, and slides one up to cup the back of his neck, squeezing gently as he drops a kiss to his soft brown hair.

"Jimin-ah," he calls quietly, rubbing circles behind his ear with a thumb.

Jimin stops his melody to hum in acknowledgement, before he goes back to his song, but this time it's much quieter, so he can hear what Namjoon is about to say.

"Your knee is crushing my dick baby." Namjoon says this nonchalantly, like it's not a big deal, and not as uncomfortable as it really is.

Maybe it's his tone, maybe it's the just the words, or both, Namjoon's not sure, but Jimin snorts out a laugh and holds Namjoon even tighter, fingers twisting into his shirt, thigh sliding up and pressing into his groin even more. 

Namjoon groans but he doesn't move to stop Jimin, always giving in to the younger.

"Is that a bad thing hyung?" 

"Yes," he sighs, trying to pull away but Jimin hangs on and snuggles deeper into his neck. Just when Namjoon thought they couldn't get any closer, Jimin finds an empty space to fill. "Because I want to sleep and you're making it difficult."

Jimin moves one of his hands and Namjoon thinks he's going to let go but that hand just slides down his side, over his hip and along his thigh, fingers curling under Namjoon's knee to pull it up over Jimin's hip, pull him closer, and allowing Jimin to slide his thigh further between Namjoon's legs.

"Want to be close to you Joonie."

"I want to be close too but you're actually hurting my balls," he says, moving his own hand, trying to slide it between their bodies and make some space, perhaps put it between his legs and create a barrier between his precious member and Jimin's muscular thigh.

"If it's uncomfortable then you can use my thigh. I don't mind. Even if I fall asleep. "

Oh. Oh. That's....

"No, Jimin," he groans, face flushing. "That's not what..." Even though he likes the idea. Using Jimin's thigh to get off. He could. It's so easy with Jimin, he's not even embarrassed by how fast it is sometimes. Jimin just does things to his mind and body.

As alluring as that idea is, it's not what he wants. Not tonight.

"I'm not in the mood. It's been a long day and I want to sleep. Just move your thigh ok?"

Jimin makes a sound of protest, squeezing him impossibly tighter - for being so small, Namjoon is amazed by the amount of strength the dancer possesses.

"Turn around. Let me be the big spoon. We can stay close that way."

"No, hyung. I wanna hold you."

Jimin's whining and Namjoon considers calling him a brat but he honestly finds him so cute.

And for a moment, he gives in. Wraps his arms around Jimin and squeezes as hard as he can - without actually hurting Jimin, of course. Gives the vocalist back everything he's delivering.

"Better?" 

"Mm."

Namjoon smiles, even though he's in pain. Jimin sounds like he's almost asleep.

"How about you let me turn around? I'll be the little spoon and we can still be close and you can hold me as much as you want?"

Jimin quickly shakes his head. "Need you to hold me too hyung."

Namjoon realizes he's getting nowhere with this. And his body is aching, he wonders how he's stayed so calm this whole time.

Then he lets go. Just as he'd pulled Jimin to him, he releases him as best as he can with the other still clinging to him. Jimin whines and finally comes out of his hiding place in Namjoon's neck.

"Namjoon-"

"Move your thigh and I'll hold you all you want."

Jimin huffs and pouts and honestly looks so cute Namjoon struggles to keep the grin off his face. But finally Jimin shoves Namjoons leg off of him and switches position so his thigh is over Namjoons, then he wraps both legs around Namjoon's waste and continues to hold him.

Namjoon sighs in relief. He would reach down to massage his poor balls but Jimin's not letting go anytime soon so he just goes back to holding him tightly, tighter than before.

"There. Wasn't so hard was it?"

Jimin buries his face in Namjoon's chest and digs he's fingers into his back through his shirt.

"Just don't let go. Hold me tighter."

And so Namjoon does. Tightens his arms one more time, squeezes until there's absolutely no more space and then holds Jimin's body in place.

"Now go to sleep."

Jimin sighs contentedly, and this time it's Namjoon humming softly until Jimin's arms go slack and he finally drifts off into a world of pleasant dreams.
