“Minnie, you’re doing it again.”
“Hm?”
Seungmin didn’t register what MInho was talking about until he spoke again.
“You’re biting the inside of your cheeks again.” The older commented, sitting next to Seungmin.
Cheek biting was a habit that he usually did while he was doing something, or simply due to boredom. He didn’t pay much attention to it, so he didn't think that Minho would either. He would always know how hard to bite his cheek, and typically favored his right cheek over his left (it used to be vice versa before) since he kinda liked the twinge of pain that came from it. The younger also enjoyed running his tongue over the torn flesh, and even looked at it in the mirror sometimes.
“Come on now, let me see.” Minho states, resting his hand on the brunet’s face.
Seungmin reluctantly opens his mouth to allow his boyfriend to briefly look at the torn flesh inside of his cheeks. Seungmin’s eyes are glued to the floor, feeling a bit guilty since Minho had called him out on this habit a few times prior. He just couldn’t help it.
Minho sighs when he’s done, and Seungmin instantly thinks he’s disappointed in him. Minho must’ve noticed since he kisses the doubts before they have a chance to rattle with the boy’s head before holding his hand.
“I know you can’t control it hun, but have you ever thought of an alternative?” Minho inquires.
The brunet thinks for a bit, before shaking his head no.
“Well you could try chewelry. They’re like necklaces with a piece of silicone attached to it, so you could chew that instead of biting your cheek.”
“I like the sound of that, can we order some online?” Seungmin asks shyly.
“Of course.”
They order around fifteen different necklaces of Seungmin’s choosing, and they arrive a few days later. The younger is flapping his hands and jumping up and down as his boyfriend brings the package into the room, almost ripping the package from Minho’s grasp in excitement as he sits on the bed.
Minho kneels on the bed next to the brunet, and can’t help but stim, doing happy fists from seeing his boyfriend so happy. Seungmin opens the package and looks at the chewelry in awe, picking up the necklace with the puppy shape on it. He picks it up and bends it and chews it (after Minho washed them). This specific necklace was medium in fitness, and the brunet smiles and stims once he finds out he likes it.
“Thank you, I love them.”
Minho smiles and pressed a kiss onto Seungmin’s forehead. “No need to thank me hun, I just wanted to help.”
