Chapter Text
Johnny P.O.V.
It was around midnight. The rain pattered against the windows with slight force. Large rain droplets landed on the leaves of Johnny’s window cell plants. The city lights reflected against the wet splotches on the window of the dining room.
Barely any lights were on in the house. Only the stove top lights, giving Johnny enough light to see what he was writing. He was comfortable, with a half-empty coffee cup sitting beside his notepad.
The entire house was silent, except the sound of the rain drops on the window. The occasional car drive by, rushing through the land-made puddles on the road. It was peaceful.
A knock on his front door distracted him from his writing. He peered at the front door and waited for a second. He waited until there was another knock on the door. He stood up, turning on the light closest to the front door.
He unlocked the burgundy door and opened it. A guy stood in front of him. His head down, drenched from the rain. His pastel pink hair slick to his forehead. He shivered in front of Johnny, cold from the rain. His clothes stuck to his skin. He didn’t lift his head when Johnny opened the door.
“Excuse me?” Johnny stated, curious on this person standing in front of him.
Slowly, their eyes met. The shorter boy was Jaemin. Johnny’s ex-boyfriend.
“I told myself… I wouldn’t come here… But I can’t be alone.” He mumbled, his eyes slightly red as if he were crying. Johnny stared at the younger boy in front of him and took a long deep breath.
He glanced around the area before giving into a heavy sigh. He stepped out of the way.
“You can’t stand there and get a cold. Get inside…” Jaemin was hesitant at first before he went inside the house. He didn’t dare glance to the older.
“Sit down, I’ll be right back.” Johnny stated, before he headed to the bathroom. He went in and looked at himself in the mirror before he took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly before he grabbed a few towels from the bathroom cupboard.
When he went back into the living room, Jaemin sat on the edge of the couch, his knees stuck together, and his hands placed gently against his lap. Johnny looked at him before he approached.
“What are you doing here?” He said, handing him the towels. Jaemin took the towels from the older but gave a simple shrug. He put a towel over his head and started to dry his hair.
Johnny nodded before he went to the kitchen to make Jaemin a small hot chocolate.
He was just about the fill the cup with water when he paused. Why was Jaemin here? What drew him here? Was he okay?
The reasons why Johnny loved Jaemin started to flood his mind. He clenched his eyes shut as they started to wash over.
“Rawr~” Jaemin pretended to claw at Johnny’s arm, as they sat on the couch with a quiet movie playing in the background. The younger got distracted away from the movie, and now was bored out of his mind.
Johnny gave a small chuckle before he looked at Jaemin.
“Rawr.” He imitated back. Jaemin’s smile was beautiful. He threw his arms around Johnny’s neck and kissed his cheek.
“Rawr~” He muttered. Johnny smiled and pulled Jaemin into his lap. He wrapped his arms around his waist and placed his forehead against his. Jaemin closed his eyes and tangled his fingers in Johnny’s hair at the back of his neck. Jaemin hummed softly and nuzzled Johnny’s forehead.
“I love you.” He mumbled. Johnny opened his eyes and looked at him. A loving smile formed over his lips. He looked at the peaceful face and felt his heart throb lovingly. He placed a hand on his cheek, rubbing his thumb against Jaemin’s cheekbone.
“I love you too.”
“what are you writing?” Jaemin asked, wrapping his arms around Johnny’s neck. He rested his head against the top of Johnny’s head. Johnny gave out an over exaggerated sigh.
“OH, nothing absolutely important that I need to finish by the end of next month.” He said, looking to Jaemin. Jaemin gave a sneaky smile before he pecked his lips.
He let go of the older and sat beside him, taking his coffee in his hand and taking a small sip. Johnny watched him.
Jaemin’s eyes were kind, caring and held the world of wonders in them. Johnny smiled and closed his notebook.
“Lets go for a walk.” Jaemin’s smile faded from his face and tilted his head.
“But… aren’t you writing?”
“Writing can wait, but I want to spend my time with you.” Jaemin smiled, before hiding his blush behind the coffee cup.
The sun was just perfect. The sky a pinky orange as the sun was just sinking below the horizon. Johnny sat on the beach, next to Jaemin. Their fingers linked together as Jaemin’s head rested against Johnny’s. the soft sound of the waves against the sand beach relaxed the space around them. The occasional seagull squawked, which always made Jaemin smile more.
Johnny glanced to the younger, kissing the top of his head. Jaemin closed his eyes and smiled.
“I wish we could stay like this forever..” He mumbled, gripping Johnny’s hand just a little tighter. Johnny hummed and rubbed his thumb against his.
“I wish… we could be like this and be free together.” Jaemin looked up at the older and gave him a soft smile.
“I like being this free with you.” He mumbled. Johnny smiled lovingly before kissing the younger.
Johnny opened his eyes before he cleared his throat and poured the hot water into the cup. He headed back to the younger, with a cup of hot chocolate and set it down in front of Jaemin.
The younger was still shaking, only barely visible, but enough for Johnny to see and worry a little more about him.
Jaemin had wrapped the other towel around his shoulders. The silence that sat between them was stiff. The air was thick, while the only sound between them was their soft breathing and the rain outside.
“Can I stay the night? I’ll stay on the couch.” Jaemin muttered, glancing to the older member. Johnny frowned even more than he was before.
“Why? What happened?” Jaemin looked at him before he pulled his gaze back to his lap.
“I’ll talk about it later.” Was all Johnny got in answer.
Johnny looked at him before he closed his eyes. He stood and looked to Jaemin.
“I’ll get to a blanket and pillow, and a change of warm clothes.” He stated, before he started upstairs.
