Work Text:
The morning after their first night at the TTT house left everyone all over the place, both physically and mentally. Half the members were randomly laying around the house, extremely hungover. The ones that actually made it to their beds were slightly better off, but not by much.
Now that it was nearing noon, most of the members were up. Multiple karaoke machines were in full swing, someone was making food for everyone, some were playing badminton (or attempting to), some were swimming, others were just simply observing the chaos. The only ones not involved were Joshua and Vernon.
After Vernon had slept for most of the day after they arrived, Joshua had staked claim on being roommates with him. Not that there was any argument from the rest of the group. Since they started dating, the rest of the members quickly learned it is easier to just let them room together rather than have one of them “sneak” into the room in the middle of the night.
Now, the next morning, Vernon was standing at the window, looking at the members playing around. His boyfriend stirred in the bed behind him. Vernon was too lost in thought to realize Joshua was up until his arms snaked around his waist. Vernon melted into the embrace, smiling softly once he realized Joshua was still as naked as he was.
Joshua buried his nose into the crook of Vernon’s neck, breathing in his scent and leaving a small kiss there. Vernon gently leaned his head back against Joshua’s.
“You’re thinking too loud.” Vernon breathed out a small laugh at that.
“Sorry.”
“What’s on your mind?”
Vernon hesitated, trying to find the right way to word his thoughts.
“Do you think we’ll ever tell them?”
“Them?”
“Carats.”
“Do you want to?”
“I do.”
“Then we will.”
“When?”
“Someday. When the time is right.” Vernon pulled himself even closer to Joshua.
They were so wrapped up in each other they barely registered the knock on the door.
“If you want something to eat, it’s ready downstairs. But pants are required!”
Thank god the members knew not to just barge in. They made that mistake one too many times.
“You hungry?” Vernon whispered, not wanting to break the soft atmosphere.
“Not for whatever they made downstairs.”
Vernon quirked an eyebrow up, teasing. He knew exactly where this was going. “hm?”
“I’m hungry for… what I have up here?”
At that moment Vernon turned around and pushed Joshua back down onto the mattress in one swift moment. He put his legs on either side of his thighs, straddling him. His hands were framing Joshua’s head as he hovered over his boyfriend, his lips centimeters from the others.
“I’m suddenly starving,” Vernon said, leaning down and capturing Joshua’s lips against his own.
The members would no doubt eat all of whatever was prepared downstairs and then tease them relentlessly about missing out. But it was worth it.
