Hayden walked into the unusually quiet house, he frowned and took in the dim room. He let out a deep sigh, dropping his bags loudly onto the floor, scaring his cat in the process as they skittered away at the sound.
“Sorry, baby” He murmured softly, watching as the small cat with dark fur hid in a box that he left in the corner of the room. After his eyes left the cat, he started walking towards his bedroom, lifting his hands to take off the heavy hoodie.
His steps clacked loudly on the hardwood floor, taking his shoes off in the hallway too, sighing in relief as his feet could breathe, but were still sore. He winced slightly with every step, the heavy feeling in his chest growing. He dropped the hoodie in the hamper that was in the hallway for some reason and ran his fingers along with the bumps of the wall. Feeling them slide under his fingers for a second before stopping upon his bedroom door.
He quickly noticed the door was open, and as he peeked in to make sure it was safe; His entire being relaxed slightly at seeing the dark clump of hair asleep on his pillow. Namjoon was cuddled up under the covers, clenching one of Hayden’s shirts to his chest and a plushie that he always keeps when regressed.
Hayden fondly looked at his boyfriend for a bit more before shuffling around the room, changing out of the uncomfortable clothes into a big sweater and soft shorts. As he was doing this, he heard the soft groan behind him, and as he looked back; Namjoon was sitting up, eyes still closed and hair a fluffy mess, rubbing at his eyes for a second before they landed on Hayden.
“When did you get home..?” He asked softly, words kinda slurred from sleepiness.
As Namjoon said home, a small warmth embraced Hayden’s soul.
Home…. Their Home…
“Mmm not long ago, maybe 20 minutes?” Hayden said softly back, walking over to the edge of the bed to where Namjoon has scooted himself over as well.
As Hayden got close enough within touch, Namjoon reached out and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy--- hugging him close. Hayden closed his eyes, leaning into the touch slightly and his own arms coming up to run his hand through Namjoons hair.
“Missed you…” Namjoon whispered gently, his fingers tracing small shapes on the others back.
“You too,” Hayden responded, his voice full of emotion as he gently motioned for Joon to scoot back on the bed to which he did.
Hayden climbed onto the bed, fighting with the covers for a second before he moved himself to sit in Joons lap, facing him. As he did so, he pulled the other into another hug, quickly being swaddled in the other’s arms.
Joon hummed and gently swayed the both of them from side to side before speaking again, “Bad day?”
Hayden grumbled slightly, hugging the other tightly for a second, “More like bad month…”
Namjoon made a noise in understanding, “Wanna talk about it?”
“Not really…” “That’s valid love, but if you do, I’m always here”
The smaller one nodded softly, hiding his face in Namjoon’s neck, “I know… n thank you...”
“Don't need to thank me, I’ll always be here when you need me, love”
After a little bit, Hayden lifted his head and looked at Joon, the other looking right back at him with love in his eyes. Hayden gently took Namjoons face in his hands and pressed a soft kiss to the other’s lips, to which he responded just as softly.
As a few minutes pass, they both gradually pull away, Hayden blushing slightly and once again hiding his face in Namjoon’s neck. “Love you…” He mumbles out to which Joon laughs slightly, his chest rumbling with it before responding with just as much love.
“I love you too, honey”
“...Can we just stay here for a bit…?”
“Of course, love…”
“Thank you…”
“I’d give you the world and more, but for now we can just sleep, rest well, Honey...?”
