taesan doesn't particularly like the summer sun. sure, summertime is all free and easy and longer days, but he doesn't like being blinded by that ball of fire hanging in the sky. neither does he like being all sweaty and sticky from the insufferable heat, and the general idea of being uncomfortably warm and moist all the time just doesn't sit with him in general.
so the first thought that crosses taesan's mind when he steps out of his house, is how damn hot it is. he can immediately feel the heat seeping out of the bursting sun rays and cracks in the sidewalk, crawling up his spine. despite already wearing the bare minimum to protect his modesty — a grey muscle tank two sizes too large, and black basketball shorts that hung loose around his hips — taesan still feels suffocated by the heat he can feel collecting between fabric and his skin. looking down at the sidewalk, he lets his upper teeth graze his lower lip and nibble, a bad habit he had picked up to pass the time, but is quickly shocked by a cheerful voice from across the street — of course jaehyun is so buoyant despite the sweltering heat — and he nearly bites too hard on his lip. looking up, he tries to form a scowl but the bright smile across the street proves that to be an impossible task.
"dongmin! come here!" jaehyun's voice blares, and taesan jogs across the street only to be swept into a hug by the smaller boy. they share an obnoxious laugh and taesan steps back to admire the way the sunlight bounces off the other male's skin and envelopes him in some sort of yellow sphere of beauty.
"admiring me?" the boy speaks, and taesan snaps out of his daydream, a flush crawling across his cheeks as he's been caught staring but he takes it in his stride and pulls the boy flush against him, whispering a "i’m not?" into the other boy's ear before leaning in to kiss him. it's now jaehyun's turn to flush a bright red as he pushes at taesan's chest in attempt to back away from the kiss, but he fails miserably (not that he was complaining) and lets himself melt into taesan's kiss. his hands move around, one securing itself at the back of taesan's neck and the other wandering around the broad space that is taesan's back. taesan smiles into the kiss, hands on jaehyun's waist, and the two boys are deep into their kiss when a cough and a shout interrupt them.
"damn guys, calm down! you're still across from our house," leehan chides from his window. jaehyun pulls away from the kiss to stick his tongue out at leehan, before taking the hand of taesan and stalking off down the street. leehan chuckles, turning away from the window to look at his boyfriend who was laying on his bed shirtless and with his hands behind his back, waiting for leehan to lay with him. "we’re nothing like that, right?" sungho lets out an airy chuckle and says nothing, simply reaching out to pull leehan back onto the bed and into his arms.
of course the blistering heat calls for a popsicle, so taesan and jaehyun exit the convenience store each with a popsicle in hand. they taste each others' popsicles through the walk to their house, and taste their own popsicles in chaste kisses snuck here and there. by the time they've reached the house, their hands are sticky so they rush to get their hands washed, but not without splashing water at each other to "help cool off".
the little water fight ends with the two boys tangled on their shared bed, soaked shirts and rustled covers strewn across the floor. the undrawn curtains allow the rays of sun to filter in gently, casting a yellow glow over the two boys. jaehyun sits straddled over taesan's waist, lips latched onto the younger male's neck and taesan's hands find home on jaehyun's hips and neck. jaehyun takes the thin skin on his neck between his lips, sucking just hard enough to know there'll be a taesan, and the stifled moan that leaves taesan's lips bring a smirk onto jaehyun's lips. he takes his time littering marks across the other boy's neck, relishing in the way taesan arches his back or groans when he bites gently. he places soft kisses on the now red spots, smiling with pride as he pulls back to quickly admire his work, then angling himself so he can place his lips on taesan's. no doubt the kiss turns heated in a matter of seconds, with tongues battling and teeth knocking, but their hands remain gentle, jaehyun's cupping the younger's face and taesan's holding the older up by the waist.
when they finally part to gasp for breath, jaehyun sitting back up in taesan's lap and grinning like a cheshire cat, taesan simply lets his eyes roam jaehyun's face and body. he takes in the view of glistening beads of sweat rolling down jaehyun's chest, the view of his now tousled hair because taesan's own fingers had been tugging and carding through them, and how the sunlight that had passed through the exposed half of the window left a gorgeous shadow across half of jaehyun. taesan feels his heart swell with love as jaehyun leans down to kiss his lips again, then rolls off to lay beside taesan.
"you're staring a lot today," jaehyun quips as they shift into their default position (taesan's head on jaehyun's chest, jaehyun's arm behind taesan's neck and usually twirling taesan's hair with his fingers) and taesan lets out a breathy laugh. "why can't i stare at my boyfriend, hm?" he retorts playfully, leaning in closer to jaehyun's touch. the older snickers, letting his hand rest on taesan's forearm. the two lay quietly, main source of noise being the memes jaehyun is scrolling through on instagram and the occasional snort from either of them. taesan glances up at his boyfriend from time to time, appreciating the way the jaehyun seems to glow from their spot opposite the window and light up the space around them like he's the sun itself.
"hey, sunshine," taesan suddenly blurts, taking jaehyun's phone out of his hand and setting it on the nightstand. the older male reaches up to cup taesan's face, letting out a questioning hum in the positive. "this," taesan starts, gesturing to his neck and the red marks scattered across them, "needs to be reciprocated, don't you think?" a sly grin plays on both their lips, and before jaehyun can even offer a coy rebuttal, taesan has already sunk down onto the juncture between jaehyun's neck and shoulder. their bare chests press flush against each other, and as uncomfortable as sweaty skin against sweaty skin is, the two boys know there's no one they'd rather be with on a lazy summer afternoon like this.
taesan doesn't particularly like the summer sun. he doesn't like being all sweaty and sticky from the insufferable heat, and the general idea of being uncomfortably warm and moist all the time just doesn't sit with him in general. but taesan think that as annoying as the sweltering heat and sweaty, sticky skin gets, he doesn't seem to mind if it's with myung jaehyun.
so taesan decides that he doesn't like the summer sun, but he might very well be in love with the human version of it, his summer sun that makes days free and easy and oh so bright.
