Jeno thinks Jaemin is interesting.
Why? because he never gave up when Jeno didn’t talk to him that first time or the other times. He also didn’t push him to get closer to him. It just happened, and he’s glad it happened like that.
He remembers the first time he saw Jaemin. He entered the room and sat right in the middle of the room. Jeno stared at him unconsciously because of his blue hair, he was pretty, and he looked a bit lost until Jisung entered the room, and his face lit up completely.
He has a pretty smile. He thought to himself that time.
The first time he talked to him was really an accident. He just felt comfortable with the boy and couldn’t help but want to speak in front of him.
His reaction was funny. His eyes were bigger than usual, and his mouth was open like a fish out of water for a second, but he tried to conceal his expression after a moment.
He realized his voice made something to Jaemin because every time he spoke, the other would freeze and tries to act like nothing happened the next second.
He had fun teasing him before they were together, but it’s even funnier now because he knows when Jaemin will blush and freak out.
Like now,
Jaemin is talking to Jisung in the hallway. He seems not to have noticed his presence yet, so he slowly and carefully gets behind him and whispers,
“Jaeminie,”
He feels the younger shiver from how close he is, and when he looks down, Jeno sees that the other’s neck is totally red.
“Ah, shit.” If he weren’t that close, he’s sure he couldn’t have heard the younger’s voice, but he did.
He chuckles and prepares for what’s to come.
Jaemin turns around in a second and starts hitting his chest before hiding his face on his neck and hugging him,
“I told you not to do that outside. I told you.” Jeno knows Jaemin is pouting, so he puts his arms around his waist to calm him down.
“But you looked so cute.” Jaemin whines and Jeno laughs.
“You’re both very disgusting.” Jisung is watching them weirdly, but his smile is sincere enough, so Jeno shrugs his shoulders.
…
Jaemin is not here today. He had to go to Yuta’s house because his brother asked for a favor. He only knows it’s something about his family.
Jeno is with Jisung and Mark for half a day then he’s alone in a class where he should be with his boyfriend.
He pays attention to class, takes notes, and before he knows it, he’s out of the room. He doesn’t notice the rain until he’s outside, and he doesn’t have an umbrella.
Jeno doesn’t think about it too much and runs to take the bus. He’s soaked when he gets home. He’s too tired to change, so he sits on his couch and falls asleep in a second.
He wakes up because his phone is ringing.
“Hi?” He’s still disoriented when he takes the call, but he’s surprised to hear a soft voice,
“Hello, handsome,” Jeno laughs and goes to his room to change clothes.
“How’s everything going?” He asks because he can hear how tired the younger is.
“Chaotic, but it’s done now. I’ll be back tomorrow.” He can’t help but smile, he misses that pretty smile and beautiful eyes, and he tells him just that,
“Oh, I miss you too, Jen.” the older can imagine the other blushing, and he can’t help but chuckle,
He doesn’t talk for a bit because he’s changing clothes, and it seems the younger realized what happened without him telling him.
“Are you changing…wet clothes?” Jeno hums while changing his wet hoodie for a warm one. He will shower after talking to the younger.
“Jeno, did you forget your umbrella? Why are you – don’t tell me you fell asleep with wet clothes?”
“Yes?” He can hear Jaemin groaning, and he smiles. He knows what’s coming now, and he honestly deserves it.
“Lee Jeno,” He starts to scold him and doesn’t stop until Jeno apologizes and tells him he needs a shower because his body is cold. The younger gasps and scolds him a little more before telling him to take his time and that he will see him soon.
“Hey, Jaem,” The other hums, “I love you.”
Jaemin giggles and sighs, “I love you, too.”
…
Jeno wakes up and feels hot all over. He’s sweating and feels a little dizzy too.
“Oh fuck.”
He can’t not go to class because he has an important presentation that day. Jaemin has it next week, the lucky bastard.
He gets up, takes a pill to lower his fever, and goes to class without eating.
While he’s on his way, he gets a message from the younger,
My love:
‘Good luck with your presentation. I know you will do great. See you later. I love you.
( ˘ ³˘)♥︎ ”
Jeno smiles and enters the room where Jisung is waiting for him.
“Hey, are you okay? You look a bit pale.” Jeno only nods. He can’t lie to his friend. He knows him too well to know he’s lying.
The taller squints his eyes, and he’s about to say something when the teacher enters.
Jeno doesn’t know how he did in his presentation, but he’s done and wants to go home now.
His head hurts. He’s shivering and feels hot. He’s still dizzy, and sometimes his eyes close without him noticing.
Jisung finishes and goes to sit beside him again,
“Hyung, you should go home. You look like you will pass out at any moment.” Jeno nods, and Jisung helps him to get up.
He’s almost arriving home when he blacks out.
The last thing he heard was someone shouting his name.
…
Jeno wakes up in his room, completely disoriented.
“Uh?” he tries to sit up, but he’s still too dizzy, so he gives up and lies down again.
He groans and takes a deep breath, but that only causes him to have a coughing fit.
He feels someone touching his back softly, and he’s about to thank him when he makes eye contact with them.
He thought it was Jisung. The taller friend was the one who accompanied him home after all, but no, it was Jaemin.
“Are you okay?” Jeno nods dumbly at the younger and tries to ask what he’s doing there, but Jaemin just shakes his head.
“Don’t scare me like that ever again, jeno,” The older doesn’t understand what Jaemin is talking about until he remembers he was walking home, and suddenly, he was on his bed. He must have passed out.
“I’m sorry.” Jaemin doesn’t move for a second before he gets closer to him and touches his forehead.
“You still have a fever. I will get you some pills and something to eat, yeah? I will scold you for not taking care of your health when you’re better.” Jeno can’t help but smile at that. Jaemin is so good to him.
When he lies down after eating, he realizes he’s not dizzy anymore. He feels much better already.
Jaemin gets on the bed and starts brushing his finger through his hair, making him relax and feel sleepy again.
“I missed you,” Jaemin smiles at him and gets closer, until their noses touch, to give him an Eskimo kiss. Jeno practically melts right there on the bed.
“I missed you too, silly. Now sleep, so you get better.” Jeno grabs his hand and kisses his knuckles before asking for a hug,
“You’re going to get me sick, too.” Jeno laughs and says,
“You’re already here beside me. You’re going to get sick anyways, or maybe not. Who knows.” Jaemin laughs and hugs him tight until he falls asleep against his chest.
When he wakes up again, Jaemin is not there.
He thinks he dreamed all that, so he gets up to get something to drink. He goes to the kitchen to see the younger cooking something.
“Oh. I thought you being here was a dream.” Jaemin turns around and gets closer to him. He checks if he still has a fever, and when the younger checks that his temperature is normal, he can’t help but smile teasingly.
“You dream about me?” Jeno kisses his cheek and nods,
“All the time, actually.” Jaemin giggles and puts a blanket around his shoulders,
“If you’re going to be here, you have to keep yourself warm.”
After they eat and Jaemin sends an email saying that Jeno won’t be attending classes the next day, he lies down beside the older again,
“You’re really going to get sick,” Jaemin only laughs a little,
“I don’t care. Jeno, I saw you faint right in front of me. I got so scared. Now I want to be with you, and I want to be close to you. If I get sick, I get sick. No big deal.” Jeno hums and nods slowly before hugging the younger and kissing his forehead,
“I’m sorry. I didn’t notice how bad I felt until it was too late. I guess.” Jaemin shakes his head and flicks his forehead,
“That’s why I can’t leave you alone,” Jeno smiles softly and nods quickly,
“Yes, don’t leave me alone ever again.” He squeezes Jaemin's waist, and the younger giggles for a moment,
“Silly jeno,” The older only nods before falling asleep again.
They cuddle all night, and Jeno sleeps better than ever.
…
After a few days, Jeno feels normal again.
The only detail is that his voice is rough and husky because he coughed his soul out, but he can live with that for a few days.
It’s also fun because Jaemin seems to react more when he talks to him now.
Sometimes he speaks, and Jaemin will literally stop doing what he’s doing and waits for five seconds, yes, he counted, before answering him.
And other times, like now, he flushes and stumbles over his words,
“Na Jaemin, why are you so cute,” Jaemin is red, the blush reaches his neck, and he wonders if his chest is like that too.
“Jeno…ah…Jen, sto…stop it.” They’re in an elevator because they’re visiting Jisung for a boys’ night.
The older waited until the doors closed to speak slowly against the other’s ear. The younger’s reaction was better than what Jeno imagined. Jaemin flushed, and he could see the goosebump on his skin.
“I’m not doing anything. I’m not even touching you.” Jaemin whines and grabs his shirt nervously,
“You…shit…you’re…doing this on pur.. purpose, st…stop.” Jeno chuckles and gets closer to the younger to touch his blushed neck,
“I should get sick more often if it’s going to get you like this every time,” Jaemin whines before realizing what he just said,
“Don’t you dare, Lee Jeno,” His voice changed for a second, and Jeno knew he couldn’t joke with that again,
“I won’t do it. Don’t worry, yeah?” Jaemin nods, and Jeno closes the distance between them to kiss him.
Jaemin melts in his arms, and Jeno grabs his waist to bring him closer. They’re so into it that they don’t notice when the doors of the elevator open,
“Ew,” They separate quickly to see Chenle watching them with a grin,
“You know that is public indecency, right?”
“We were just kissing,” Chenle points to Jeno’s hand, then Jaemin’s
“Sure you were.”
Jaemin had his hands on Jeno’s hair. Jeno had his hands on Jaemin's waist and one on his lower back.
They enter Jisung’s house, and Chenle tells Mark and Yuta what he just saw.
Jaemin wasn’t expecting his brother to be there, and it was mortifying when he saw his reaction. He’s not ready for when they’re alone because his older brother will tease him nonstop.
Everything is fun and relaxing until they’re sitting to watch a movie.
It starts with a small kiss on his nape.
They’re sitting on a small couch with Jeno’s chest against his back. Mark is leaning his head against Yuta’s shoulder on the other couch. Chenle and Jisung are on the floor eating what’s on the table.
Jeno doesn’t even think about it when he kisses Jaemin a few times on his neck. Jaemin bares his neck so he can kiss him better.
“Jeno, you already watched this movie, right?” Jisung asks him, and he nods.
“Is it good?”
Jeno clears his voice and tells him he thinks it’s nice, the pace is good, and the characters' developments are good too.
When they start the movie, he notices Jaemin is tense. He wonders why. Until he remembers he talked right beside his ear the whole time he was talking to Jisung.
He smiles to himself and kisses his ear,
“Why are u so tense?” He knows this is playing with fire, but he doesn’t care.
“Ah...Jeno...” Jaemin whispers while grabbing Jeno’s hand to squeeze them.
Jeno laughs when something funny happens in the movie, then lets go of the other’s hand to touch his thighs. Jaemin throws his head back, and Jeno has to avoid it to not get hit.
He starts going up with his hands, and at the same time, he starts peppering kisses on Jaemin’s neck again.
The younger is biting his lips, but he stopped fighting at some point. He’s also totally red from where Jeno can see.
Jeno grabs his chin and turns it to one side to kiss him properly. Jaemin moans a bit against his mouth, but jeno swallows the noise. When he puts some space between them after a few seconds, Jaemin gets close and bites his lower lip. Jeno’s eyes widen, and Jaemin only smiles devilishly at him.
Two can play this game. That’s what those eyes said.
Jaemin grabs his hand and starts guiding it up his chest until it reaches his mouth. Jeno gulps.
Jaemin covers his mouth with the blanket they're using, and licks his finger, then puts it inside his mouth. Jeno groans lowly and stares at Jaemin.
That’s enough.
Jeno stands ups, and Jaemin goes with him. Jaemin grabs his hands to steady himself.
“Guys, we’re leaving.” Everyone looks at them, and Chenle is the one to say,
“Why?” Jaemin thinks he hears Yuta snicker after the question, but he’s not sure.
“Jaeminie is not feeling well,” Jaemin nods and Jisung looks worried when he says,
“Yeah, he looks a bit red. Maybe he has a fever.”
Jaemin turns around and hides his face against Jeno’s neck. Jeno can’t help but smile.
They say their goodbyes and leave the place. The walk is tense with anticipation, and when Jeno takes out the keys to open the door, Jaemin glues himself to his back and bites his neck, just how he likes it.
Jeno drops the keys. Jaemin giggles against him. He lets the older grabs the keys and puts his arms around his waist while he waits.
“Jaeminie,” Jeno says while closing the door just to feel how the younger shivers against him.
He closes the door and pushes Jaemin against it. He kisses him, and Jaemin moans when he grabs him by the waist to bring them together. They walk to his room without breaking the kiss, and when they reach the bed, Jeno grabs Jaemin by the neck to break the kiss.
“You were so bad earlier,” Jaemin whines and kisses his palm, his arm, his neck,
“You started it,” Jeno lies Jaemin on the bed and stares at him,
“Jeno, come here,” The younger grabs his shirt, and Jeno gets on top of him. They’re touching everywhere now, just how he likes it.
Jaemin arms are around his neck when he kisses him, and Jeno smiles. He loves it when the blue-haired kisses him first.
He grabs his leg and puts it around his waist. Jaemin sighs and looks at him,
“I love you,” Jeno gives him a peck,
“I love you too..” He kisses him and takes his shirt off.
Jaemin doesn’t wait to touch his abs. He bites his lips while doing it, and the older smirks. Jeno knows he loves his abs and when he shows just how strong he is.
Jeno likes how Jaemin has different sides, and he loves every single one of them. He likes when he’s all shy and nervous sometimes or when the younger blushes and his eyes get all shiny, but he also likes when he gets playful and teases him like how he did at his friend’s house.
But what he likes the most is how he is when they’re both alone, like right now, when Jaemin looks at him in that special way and lets out those sounds he loves to hear.
