Work Text:
Jisung sighs as he finally walks through the doors of his home. He was supposed to get home two hours ago, but he got caught up at work and had to stay over. To say the other is exhausted is an understatement. He felt more than that. His body aches, his eyes heavy, and he wants nothing more than to just climb into bed. But his bed seems so far away, all the way on the top floor. He's too tired to even kick off his shoes at this moment, and climbing the stairs seemed like a nightmare. Instead Jisung walks the short distance to his couch and plops down. He sighs as the soft cushions support him. He wants to rest here, even for a moment before making his way to bed.
Feeling the cushion beside him dip down, Jisung slowly opens his eye and looks over to see his lover beside him.
"Minho hyung, why're you still awake? You should be sleeping."
Minho reaches for Jisung, slowly moving Jisung to sit sideways on the couch in front of Minho who is already sitting sideways. Jisung was confused at first until he felt hands gently rubbing his shoulders. His body relaxes under the touch.
"I couldn't sleep until you got home." Minho says, leaning over slightly and kissing the others cheek. "How was work?"
"Tiring." Jisung sighs gently. He hums in approval as Minho moved his hands down slightly and started working on smoothing the knots in his back. "You didn't have to stay awake for me."
"I wanted to." Minho shrugs. He knew his boyfriend would be tired when he got home, especially after reading the message from Jisung that he'd have to stay over. He wanted to make sure he was awake when the other did return home.
"Are you hungry?" Minho asks, to which the latter shakes his head.
"No. My boss bought ramyeon for everyone since we had to stay longer." He tells him. Minho hums in answer. The older massages Jisung for a little while more before stopping and again kissing his cheek.
"Wait here. I'll be right back." With that Minho gets off the couch and walks upstairs. Jisung was too tired to go anywhere anyway. He turns back to sit right, eyes still closed. It took several minutes for the other to come back, and Jisung had started to fall asleep. That is until he was jolted awake by feeling the sudden lift of his body. He quickly blinks awake. Minho's face is in his line of vision, and he glanced down to see the other is carrying him bridal style while going toward the stairs.
"Minho, what're you doing?" He asks once they're at the top. The older keeps walking until they get to the bathroom, where Jisung sees a bath drawn up, a candle lit to make it smell good, and Jisung swears his heart melts. Minho's so sweet to him. Though the other can be quiet at times and more of a black cat type person, he always shows he cares through actions.
"I ran you a bath. You can relax before coming to bed." The older stated. He sets the other down and Jisung immediately hugs him, kissing his cheek.
"Thanks hyung." Minho smiles, cupping the others face and pecking his lips.
"Take your time. I'll be in bed when you're done." Minho said, letting go of the him before walking out.
Jisung strips off his clothes and climbs into the water, sighing in contentment as the warm water ingulfs his skin. He rests back and enjoys the water, taking in the peaceful atmosphere surrounding him. While he sits there with his eyes closed, he thinks of Minho and smiles.
The older treats him so well. He can always tell when Jisung is exceptionally tired, and goes out of his way to make sure the younger feels better and knows Minho cares. Whether it be drawing up a warm bath, or making Jisung's favorite dinner, or going to get cheesecake for him to eat until his heart content. Minho is always extra cuddly with him too, knowing Jisung loves being close, especially when he's drained.
And his favorite thing of all, the way Minho stays awake until the younger falls asleep and whispers the soft words of "I love you" and would tell him just how proud he is of the younger. Jisung would purposely pretend to be asleep sometimes just to hear the others hushed words, making his heart swell. It wasn't like Minho didn't tell him these things already; Minho always made sure to tell Jisung just how much he loves him and is proud of him. But it was the context of it. The fact that even when Jisung is asleep, Minho will still whisper sweet nothings to him; still loving him indefinitely. And Jisung would always fall asleep with a smile on his face, knowing the words that would come to him.
After a good 10 or so minutes passed, Jisung decided it was enough sitting here. He wants to be back with Minho. He washes his body, leaving his hair unwashed; he just washed it this morning, and didn't feel like washing it again, too tired to do so. He unplugs the drain, grabbing his towel to dry as he spots clothes sitting on the counter waiting for him. Clothes belonging to Minho.
"Pff... not him thinking I want to wear his clothes." Jisung mumbled softly, but a little smile plays on his lips, because he knew he did want to wear Minho's clothes. His boyfriend's clothes were always more comfortable. Especially after a long day.
Slipping on his boxers and then Minhos hoodie and sweat pants, Jisung comes out of the bathroom and goes to their room, where he sees Minho sitting against the head board, scrolling on his phone. Jisung crawls onto their bed, over onto Minho's lap. He sits there with his legs on either side of the other, his arms loosely wrapping around him as he rests his head down in his chest. Minho puts his phone down immediately to focus on his lover, wrapping his own arms around him and kissing his head.
"Feel better?" He asks, to which Jisung lazily hums to. The warmness of the water, and now the warmness of Minho; along with the comforting clothes smelling of his boyfriend, Jisung is really feeling the sleep now. Minho gently rubs his back, his lips still resting in the other's hair.
"You don't work tomorrow. Neither do I. We should sleep in. Then when we wake up, we can lounge around home and relax. Or go on a date if you'd like. Whatever you feel up to tomorrow." Jisung lazily smiles, moving his head to rest on the others shoulder.
"That sounds perfect, Min. Lets do it." Minhos hums, patting his back.
"Let's sleep now, then."
Turning the bedside lamp off, Minho and Jisung situate themselves to lay down, wrapped up into each other. Jisung again plants his face into the other's chest, arms around him and their legs tangled together. Minho gently rubs his fingers through the other's hair, massaging his scalp, knowing the younger enjoys it.
"Night Sungie." Minho whispers, kissing his cheek. "I love you."
"I love you too, Min." Jisung responds quietly, eyes closed.
Jisung forces himself to stay awake. Tonight was a night he wants to hear Minho's sweet nothings. Many minutes pass, Jisung not knowing how many, but enough he almost does fall asleep. Until he hears his name called out.
"Jisung-ah? Are you awake?" He hears Minho faintly whisper. He doesn't answer. Feeling soft lips on his forehead, he forces back a smile.
"I'm proud of you, Ji. You did so well today and worked so hard. You never fail to amaze me. I'm sure things at work will settle down soon. And until then I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you." Minho whispers, his fingers gently tracing the side of the other's face. Jisung's heart flutters in his chest. "I love you."
And with those last three words, Jisung smiles and succumbs to the sleep dragging him in.
