Work Text:
“Uh..” Yeonjun stretches his body right after he wakes up from his sleep. It was just a peaceful morning, as always the sunlight already showered his room every time he woke up. He’s still half awake though, his body feels a bit weird? more likely, his body feels heavier than the other normal day.
' There's no way that I'm sick’
Yet he ignores the feeling and he just takes a look at the person beside him, his boyfriend, beomgyu.
He has such a small and pretty face. Covered with his pretty long eyelashes, he looks really round and .. cute. They've been together for like around 1 year? or maybe more than that. Thus, even if it's been a long time or not since they started dating; yeonjun still loves beomgyu so much. Couldn't imagine how long they've been mutually pining not knowing that they actually fall in love with each other.
He looked at his boyfriend who’s still in deep sleep. Instead of waking him up, yeonjun decides to make them breakfast first, like he always did. Even beomgyu didn't ask to, he always did. Well he can cook so what's stopping him to not cook for him and his beloved boyfriend?
Although he's not feeling really well today, that's not gonna be the reason to stop him from making them breakfast.
Once he was about to get off from his bed, beomgyu's murmuring something and makes he immediately get closer to beomgyu. “you're awake?” he asked. Beomgyu didn't answer besides just shaking his head. Didn't took yeonjun a long time only to realize beomgyu actually sweating. He put his left palm on beomgyu’s forehead while his right palm was on his forehead. Took him a surprise when both beomgyu and him were actually having high temp. They are both sick at the same time. Which is actually.. a little funny.
Beomgyu is really easy to get sick, his immunity is not really tough as yeonjun though. Yeonjun barely gets sick, so he's a bit surprised that he gets sick and even the same day with his boyfriend?
Maybe if they just took shelter last night instead of running together to their apartment when it's raining. Maybe if they just call a taxi driver or something instead of giggling together and letting themselves all drenched because of heavy rain last night.
Or maybe if he didn't agree when beomgyu begged him to run home together under a rainy night because he missed the feeling of getting all drench and running freely like insane people.
They were on a ( not really ) date last night. It's just them eating together at their favorite restaurant. The way they both really often eat there until the owner of the shop remembers their name and their favorite orders. After eating they just spent their night with jokes and fun stories at the park that is not really far from their apartment. ( Which is why they chose to just run to their apartment when it started raining ).
Still, he didn't want to tell his boyfriend that he's sick too. Need to stay with his cool boyfriend that is immune to everything.
“baby you're sick”
“umhm” again, he just mumbling
“ i’ll make u breakfast and then eat meds okay?” he got off from the bed right after he saw beomgyu nodded in response. He cleaned himself before walking to the kitchen. His head felt really heavy and his body hard to move as usual, yet, he still pushed himself to cook.
The menu for today’s breakfast is not really special, as you thought; it's just food for someone who's not feeling really well. A porridge. ( of course ) He just made a porridge but the recipe is a little different. It's like the porridge that his mom used to make him one every time he got sick when he was a kid. Sure he knows beomgyu would like it too.
You can see how concentrated this guy is; eyes are busy looking for the recipe on his notes. Even though he did remember the recipe he just wants to make sure that what he's doing is right, while other hand are busy stirring the soup in the pot. He usually makes it a bit spicy because he likes it, however, Beomgyu on the other hand; he doesn't really like spicy food.
It didn't take Yeonjun too much time to finish making the breakfast. Once it finally finished, the porridge and warm water were placed on the tray. He grabbed meds in the kitchen drawer before putting it on the tray as well.

“Beomgyu wake u-”
“I am hyung”
Yeonjun looked up and saw Beomgyu already in a sitting position on the bed with his leg still covered with the blanket. A pure smile showed on his pale lips.
“I already brushed my teeth and washed my face”
“ahuh..you told me this like a five years old kid telling his mom every single thing he did” he replied, putting the tray on beomgyu’s lap. “im telling you just in case you thought i didn't cleaned myself first”
yeonjun just chuckled before he ruffled his boyfriend’s hair. Beomgyu look really round that morning; with his black hair, he really looks like a whole tiny boba ball.
“finish it first and then don't forget to take the meds”
Beomgyu just nodded.
Beomgyu starts eating even though he rarely tastes the actual taste of the porridge but it still delicious for him.
After minutes passed, beomgyu stopped eating and put his spoon down. His eyes locked to the older who just sat in front of him, watching him eating.
“What's wrong? Does my porridge taste weird?”
“hyung have you eaten yet?” he asked. Yeonjun just shook his head and smiled. “ No I haven't, I will eat later, don't worry” Yeonjun thought if he makes two breakfasts at the same time, it will probably take a longer time to do it. So he just made beomgyu's one first and he will make another one for him later; or maybe he’s just gonna eat the leftovers.
Actually it didn't take too much time to make a porridge for two servings but well, he's dumb.
Not really dumb / to be honest / he just doesn't have the appetite to eat.
“hyung are you okay? you're breathing heavily”
“Am I? Maybe I'm just a bit tired,” Yeonjun replied. Deep inside he can feel that he almost wants to pass out. “and you're sweating too” Yeonjun can see beomgyu’s face starts looking really worried. “Of course I am sweating gyu, I cooked just now right?”
“but you sweating a lot than usual”
“Hm, Then what are you going to do?”
Beomgyu placed the tray at the small lamp table beside him before he moved closer to yeonjun. Their nose touched, beomgyu really closed to him until he thought he might get a kiss from beomgyu.
“ what are you doin-”
Yeonjun stopped talking as he startled a bit when beomgyu started pressing his forehead against his. He can feel the younger forehead warm.
“I honestly don't know what are you trying to do”
“my guts said you are not feeling well today!!” He said right after he sat in his position before. Yeonjun just laughed, he found it cute. The younger just pressed his forehead against his just to check if he got a fever or not? Oh my god, he totally has no idea where beomgyu learned to do that.
He cupped beomgyu’s cheeks and gave him a little peck kiss on his lips. “you're so cute,”
“Hyung you're sick you shouldn't make me breakfast and just rest” He continued. “Darling, if I didn't make you breakfast then what are you gonna eat? There's no way I would let you starve here and let myself rest” The younger one just pouted, he doesn't really like yeonjun’s answer.
“we can order food,”
“Yes we can but we need to spend money on it”
“and we have money”
“beomgyu…”
“what about we eat together?” he said while he took back the tray that he placed beside him before.
“say AHH”
“But that's your food, you need to finish it so you can eat your med later,” yeonjun refused. He always became stubborn, always. Especially when it comes to himself.
“Okay then this is my food, which means I can do anything I want with it. So, I want to share it with you. Now. say AHH” yeonjun can't fight back and finally let the younger one feed him.
“you're acting like I’m five” he said; beomgyu just giggled, “Why not? I want to take care of you too. It's unfair if only you take care of me” beomgyu replied before feeding yeonjun another spoon of the porridge again.
Both of them end up eating together, feeding each other and sometimes teasing a bit. It was fun, really.
“I’m sorry, I should've heard you when you asked to wait until it stopped raining yesterday” beomgyu spoke. Yeonjun shook his head, “No it's okay, I had fun too, at least." Beomgyu just hummed. As they finished their breakfast, beomgyu stopped yeonjun’s hands as he was about to lift the tray.
Yeonjun’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Why?” He asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Clean up this of course. What do you think I would do?”
His boyfriend didn't answer his question, besides he took the tray from yeonjun’s hands before he placed it on the table lamp. “Beom-”
“Can you stop doing anything and just cuddle with me?” It's actually frustrating seeing Yeonjun keep moving here and there when he's literally sick. If yeonjun asked him to rest because he's not feeling well, then beomgyu would do the same to him too.
“Okay, I will,”
“yay”
“After I finished clean up all this”
“Nay”
Beomgyu immediately pouted, his eyes looked like puppy-eyes emoji. Hoping that yeonjun will consider his answer again.
“Why are you like this?” Yeonjun finally gave up and plopped himself beside beomgyu. He looked at the younger man and he spoke up again, “Satisfied?” Beomgyu nodded happily as he opened his arms, pulling yeonjun closer and hugged him. Not enough with that, he squished his cheeks against yeonjun’s. Yeonjun just chuckled, letting his boyfriend be clingy over him.
Once beomgyu stopped doing it, now it's yeonjun’s turn. He caresses beomgyu’s cheeks before leaving a forehead kiss to him.He can hear little ‘hehe’ from beomgyu, covering his cheeks that became rosy pink. Both of them do feel warm, not only because of their body temperature but also the warmth of being in someone's arms that you fall in love with.
“I want us to be sick forever so I can spend my morning with you, like this”
Yeonjun softly pinched Beomgyu's nose. “ Even if we’re not sick, you still can ask me for a cuddle. dummy”
“Also there's no way I want to be sick. Who's gonna do all the chores in this house. Who's gonna cook for you, hm?” He added.
“I know I know! I'm just joking” Beomgyu replied. His fingers are busy tracing yeonjun’s palm and as always Yeonjun just let him be. Their position now like yeonjun is the big spoon while beomgyu, ( the small spoon ) looking really tiny next to him. Even though their height is not really different; Beomgyu still looks small. Yeonjun placed his chin on beomgyu's head and closed his eyes. He does feel tired honestly. Although it's still in the morning, He feel his whole body weak. Can't believe himself that he actually almost passed out while making porridge just now. On the other hands, beomgyu still tracing yeonjun's palm, then his sleeves and then back to playing yeonjun's fingers again. Those little things that beomgyu did gave him calmness to rest himself.
It is just one of Beomgyu's habits that Yeonjun likes a lot.
It's not a normal day if beomgyu didn't fidgeting or playing with his tie, sleeves, his fingers, his shoelaces everytime they sit together and the spot that beomgyu loves the most, his earrings.
You’ll see Yeonjun reading his book peacefully and then his boyfriend out of nowhere sitting beside him and jiggling his earrings. Yeonjun just ignores him even though sometimes feeling ticklish by it.
Feeling ill are sucks, you can't even do anything normally and need to rest on the stupid bed for days until you fully recovered.
However, it's different for them. Maybe It does horrible not feeling well but when you get to spend your day, it makes things better than before. They feel safe, and comfortable having each other side by side.
“Hyung..” beomgyu called out as he holding yeonjun’s hand. Yeonjun just hummed in response. Beomgyu turned himself in and facing Yeonjun, He looked up to his boyfriend and saw Yeonjun barely opened his eyes. “What's wrong baby?”
Without haste, Beomgyu put his palm on yeonjun’s forehead while the other hand was on his, this time he did it in the right way instead of pressing his forehead against yeonjun's. He realized that yeonjun's forehead felt hotter than him. “Should we go to the clinic?” He asked. Yeonjun shook his head, pulling beomgyu closer into his arms. “I just want to spend my morning with you. I’ll be okay after a short nap” He replied, patting beomgyu's head and closing his eyes again. Beomgyu just smiled,
“If you say so, then I will spend my morning with you too”
he’s half whispering yet yeonjun still can catched what beomgyu says. At the end they both end up cuddling and falling asleep again together.
