“What does love mean to you?”
“Hmm? What do you mean baby?”
Jimin sits up, the soft sheets gliding down his beautiful curves as he smiles softly at his lover. The man beneath him looks up in awe as the warm light of dawn casting into their bedroom gives Jimin an orange and glistening glow. Even with bed hair and eye crusts, Park Jimin will always be the most beautiful existence in this world.
And Jimin feels the exact same way about Kim Namjoon.
“You love me, don’t you?” Jimin asks huskily.
“With every fiber of my being,” Namjoon responds confidently.
“A simple ‘yes’ would suffice,” Jimin chuckles. “Well what does that mean to you? To love me?” He leans down, giving delicate kisses to his beloved’s chin, peppering more light touches across his collarbone, to his shoulder, before trailing to his beautiful and sculpted pectorals. Jimin leans his body fully on the man he adores, head cradled against his chest, before looking deeply into Namjoon’s dragon eyes.
“I want to know, how do you define your love for me?”
Namjoon tilts his head intriguingly, dimples defined as he pecks Jimin’s plump lips. “What made you so introspective this early in the morning?”
“One of my favorite things is contemplative conversations with you at 6am on a Saturday morning. Humor me, baby. I’m dying to know.”
Jimin feels the vibrations coming from Namjoon’s bare chest, a soft laugh breathing into his ear as Namjoon curls his arms around Jimin’s tiny frame. “Alright,” and with a quick peck to the forehead, Namjoon continues.
“My love for you?” Namjoon says aloud in that quizzical way which Jimin knows means he is gathering his thoughts to say something intellectual and wise. “When I say ‘I love you’ it means… ‘thank you for being the living definition of endearment.’”
The two sit silently, curled around one another as they respectfully let the words sink in.
“Tell me more.”
Namjoon’s smile stretches adoringly. “Well…everything about you is endearing. Honestly I’m not sure I’ve ever met a more endearing person in my life. But it’s more than your actions towards others, because I could talk for days about how kind, thoughtful, and considerate you are, it’s everything you do that makes you so gloriously endearing.”
Jimin snorts, and although Namjoon can’t see his face, he knows his eyes have already formed cute crescents. “You make it sound like even my breathing is endearing,” the smaller man giggles.
“Oh but it is, my love,” and just so quickly, Jimin’s melodic giggles stop abruptly in shock. Namjoon smiles tenderly as he tilts his partner’s chin towards him, wide and wondrous eyes looking back at him.
“When you breathe, it’s like you breathe for the purpose of being adored. And you do it effortlessly. It’s not attention seeking or forced, but everything about it is so endearing it comes naturally.”
Namjoon watches as tears pocket in the corner of Jimin’s eyes, and feels his heart race as the man before him exhibits his words with action. “Even now, when you cry those beautiful tears I find it to be one of the most endearing things in the world.”
“Joonie,” Jimin pleads, “you can’t say such wonderful things.”
“But baby,” he lightly pressed his lips to Jimin’s eyelids, kissing away his tears, “you asked me to tell you more. And I can talk endlessly about what loving you means.” He kissed the other eyelid, endearing tears trailing down to a breathtaking and overwhelmed smile on soft full lips. “Loving you means showing my thankfulness, for you being so gorgeously endearing and blessing me with your love and your heart.”
He moves away to look back into Jimin’s eyes, eyes so tenderly sweet and shocked by Namjoon’s words. Though he really shouldn’t be, both of them sharing their love for each other so rawly and openingly is not a rarity. But Namjoon never wants to overwhelm the man he cherishes above all things. “Should I stop sweetheart?”
Jimin looks up with glistening eyes and an adorable pout, absolutely overwhelmed but so desperately wanting to hear more. “No. Never. I love you so much Joonie,”
“And I love you. Passionately. Everlastingly. And everyday I’m grateful I saw the cute boy at the coffee shop with the heavenly voice. You’ve never stopped being endearing ever since. And so gorgeous. I think because you’re so endearing is what makes you stunning. And captivating. Being able to feel your endearing energy is an honor and privilege baby. Just ask any of our friends. Ask anyone who has spent a second in your mere presence.”
He turns so Jimin is underneath him, gorgeous blonde locks spread against the pillow as he pecks his dewy tear-stained cheeks. “When I say ‘I love you’ please know now and forever that it means ‘Thank you.’ Of all people in this world you decided to give me your love, your heart, which means I am constantly surrounded by such an endearing soul. There’s so much more I feel like I can say, and I feel like I’ve already given you way too long-winded of a response, but I hope I answered your question.”
The larger man leans forward, barely inches away from the love of his life’s plush lips before he whispers. “I love you, Park Jimin.”
Jimin sighs softly, wrapping his arms around Namjoon’s neck, lightly tugging at blonde strands of hair near his nape.
“I love you too, Kim Namjoon,” he breathes and pulls his beloved down for a peck on the lips.
“So,” another peck.
“Much,” another.
“And just for the record baby, I’m endearing…because I have such a wonderful man like you loving me.” And what that final thought, Jimin’s peck to Namjoon’s lips molds into a deep kiss, articulating every amount of gratitude and love capable within him to express. Never before has Jimin been so loved, so cherished, and he never wants this beautiful feeling to end. He’ll do everything he can to make sure it never does.
After several minutes of heat kisses, filled with a plentiful amount of sensual touches and moans, the two break away to catch their breath and just soak in their love and affection for one another.
“So…,” Namjoon murmurs.
“So?”
“What does love mean to you Park Jimin? What does it mean to love me?”
Jimin’s eyes form into tiny crescents again. What a long and beautiful morning this shall be.
