"karu hyung! since when?!" sungmin kicked off his shoes, quickly setting down his bags before rushing over to take a closer look at hikaru. he'd only been gone shopping for a few hours, taking advantage of his day off, and he came back to hikaru sitting in the living room with a fresh buzzcut.
"i did it earlier," hikaru said, "for the comeback."
sungmin didn't even respond, too busy running his hand over hikaru's head. "it's so... different."
hikaru frowned the slightest bit. "do you think it looks okay?"
sungmin hummed, taking a closer look at hikaru before answering, "yes." hikaru nodded, avoiding eye contact as his lips turned up.
much unlike himself – with how talkative he tended to be – sungmin took the time to focus on hikaru, wordlessly. he was in his black tank top, the one that fit closely to his figure which sungmin had always liked. and somehow, his face looked cuter than usual; was it the angle? the haircut? or was sungmin just falling for him all over again?
at one point, he took hikaru's face into his hands, tilting his own head as if to examine him further. "what?" hikaru asked, "you're creeping me out, you know."
sungmin only smiled in response as he commented, "you look cute."
"hm?" hikaru quirked a brow, disagreeing almost instantly, "it's not meant to be cute."
sungmin rolled his eyes playfully, before something in his gaze changed upon looking at hikaru again. "it's really sexy, too," he said, pouting as he continued, "that better?"
"oh, really now?" hikaru scoffed, looking up to where sungmin stood. he was clearly trying hard to look unaffected, but the red tinge creeping up his cheeks didn't help his case. sungmin just giggled, planting a quick kiss to hikaru's forehead. sungmin loved having this effect on him; something about how he's all 'mr. tough guy' until it's the two of them alone.
"really," sungmin affirmed, his tone sweet as honey. hikaru brought his hand down to pat the seat beside him on the sofa, and sungmin obliged, instantly leaning over to cling onto hikaru's arm. "so handsome," sungmin sighed dramatically, "when'd you get so handsome?"
"so you're saying i wasn't before?" hikaru asked, fixing sungmin with a mock-stern glare, "you were lying?"
"definitely," sungmin replied in monotone. "have never wanted you 'til now."
hikaru had no response, making sungmin laugh. he gently ran his hands over hikaru's arm, his touch feather light over the exposed skin. hikaru's breath hitched for a moment, but just that sound alone made sungmin smile to himself.
"karu hyung…" sungmin said softly, his tone unintentionally sultry. he waited for hikaru's response as he rested his hand on the elder's leg.
hikaru finally looks towards him after a moment, giving a quiet hum of acknowledgement.
"where are the others, do you know?"
"why, planning on something?" hikaru asks in response, his eyes narrowing.
"no," sungmin denied, a feigned innocence in his voice. sungmin was most definitely lying.
hikaru sighed – lovingly, it seemed – brushing sungmin's hair back as he answered. "lingqi and kari hyung are on a date. wooseok took the kids out to a pc room or something."
sungmin had to fight himself hard in order to really pay attention to hikaru's words; it wasn't his fault. he was right in front of him, and he was hot. "and minseo and hanbin hyung…?"
"the usual, probably," hikaru shrugged, another smiling tugging at his lips as sungmin laughed.
sungmin rested his head on hikaru's shoulder, looking up at him with that familiar glint in his eye. "hm?" hikaru prompted.
"you look really sexy, you know," sungmin drawled, "really want you." he lazily ran a hand over hikaru's jawline, just to feel the effect it had on him.
"oh, minnie..." hikaru sighed, a tinge of disappointment in his tone, "not tonight. you never know when the others will get home."
sungmin pouted as he lifted his head, looking at hikaru through his lashes, "you sure? i promise it won't be too long–"
"sungmin-ah," hikaru said sternly. sungmin gave hikaru a softer gaze, making an effort to pay more attention. "not tonight."
before sungmin could playfully complain any more, hikaru added, "you can kiss me all you want, though." at this, sungmin's eyes lit up, and he instantly grabbed hikaru's face to leave a soft kiss to his lips.
"thank you, hyung," sungmin whispered sweetly, smiling hikaru's way. he leaned closer, scattering kisses across hikaru's face, over his lips, his cheeks, his jaw. they were delicate, fleeting, not enough; to the point that hikaru had enough of it.
in one swift motion, he hooked an arm beneath sungmin's leg, bringing him to be practically in his lap. sungmin just giggled, not making any other moves, which only added to hikaru's growing impatience. hikaru took the chance to capture sungmin's lips, satisfied when he hears a soft gasp come from the younger.
sungmin couldn't control the movement of his hips as he straddled hikaru's thighs, and the groan that came from hikaru when they parted didn't help, either. "god, sungmin..."
"what, i thought you didn't wanna do anything else?" sungmin teased.
"i don't." hikaru affirmed, "i just..."
"you just what?" sungmin asked, "use your words."
hikaru rolled his eyes, hitting sungmin lightly on the arm. "just love you, that's all."
"all of a sudden?" sungmin giggled, "i love you too."
hikaru – in an oddly out-of-character fashion for him – seemed to actually be shy. he's so cute, sungmin thought to himself. he wrapped his arms tighter around hikaru's neck, kissing his lips for longer this time. sungmin felt hikaru's own arms snake around his waist, holding him closer and returning the kiss.
eventually, their bodies and their kisses heated up once again, bringing them to both become more bold with their actions. after a minute, hikaru took proper hold of sungmin's body, gently maneuvering them so that sungmin lay below him. sungmin felt so vulnerable, yet so safe, in that moment; with hikaru's strong arms on both of his sides, closing him in while also keeping him warm. hikaru moved his head to leave feather-light kisses to sungmin's neck, making him gasp and whine with each small ministration.
this didn't end up lasting long, though, as hikaru resorted to simply laying atop sungmin after a while. sungmin tilted his head to look at him, and hikaru could only respond, "my arms got tired, okay?"
the two of them laughed together, continuing their soft, love-filled kisses as they adjusted to their new positions. hikaru brought sungmin into his arms again, hugging him from the side as sungmin curled up to rest his head on his chest.
"karu hyung, have i told you you're handsome today?"
"no, not at all."
sungmin huffed, "i don't care, i'll say it as many times as i need."
"you look good today, too. have i told you that?"
"no, actually."
"well, you do, babe," hikaru mumbles, pressing a kiss to sungmin's forehead as a light blush paints sungmin's cheeks. "as always."
"thank you."
the two of them were about to kiss once again, when sungmin could distinctly hear the sound of keys jangling outside the door. shit. he prayed it wasn't wooseok, since he did not have it in him to apologize for pda in front of the children (an offense that he'd already been targeted for before, multiple times).
but, no, it ended up being hikari and ling qi, to their relief. sungmin pulled away from hikaru for a moment, sitting himself up just enough to greet them.
hikari and lingqi's reactions are seemingly similar to how sungmin's was when he'd walked in. but sungmin realized, right as they both spoke, that they were shocked for different reasons.
"karu, what happened to your hair? it's cool!"
"why are you guys doing it on the couch again?!"
