Work Text:
After an exhausting long day of work, Jade and Kamin arrived back home. A few minutes later, Jade plopped onto his couch, releasing a long, tired sigh.The case was really getting to them. They worked endlessly, day and night, trying to catch what they call the “revenge killer”, who is after Jade’s brother and his reckless friend group. Jade lazily spread himself on the couch, searching for a movie to watch on Netflix. In the corner of his eye, he saw Kamin’s slim figure, flipping through papers and other documents.
“Inspector, why are you still working? You should get some rest.”
Jade, initially worried, grinned menacingly, as he thought of the perfect way to distract Kamin from work.
“..or watch movies with me!...”
There was a five second silence before Kamin started speaking. “Captain, not now, I’m reading-” Before Kamin could finish his sentence, Jade appeared behind him, resting his hands on the counter, almost hugging him from the back. Jade’s frown curved into a mischievous grin. “Inspector, just one movie, It’s not too late yet…or are you avoiding the movie because you think I’m too handsome?” Kamin stiffened, at a loss of words. Unfortunately, Jade was handsome..and silly. He hated the fact that he thought of Jade that way. He gulped and parted his lips, attempting to spit a word out.
“Well- I”m..I told you I’m working. I’m..” Out of the blue, Jade spun him around to face him, locking his eyes onto his plump lips. He let out a quiet chuckle, and stared at Kamin’s stunned face. “You..didn’t answer my question, Inspector.” Jade got even closer, leaving almost no space between them. Jade, still grinning, enjoyed the idea of teasing the serious and cold Kamin. Suddenly, a quick smooch hit Jade’s cheek. Jade’s eyes slightly widened, and he almost choked on his saliva. Jade’s cheeks and ears flushed pink, his neck heating up.
“Does that answer your question, Captain? Now, let me…uhm..work-” Kamin turned back around, but Jade spun him back. (Jade, get a grip, please..)
“Wait. You think I’m handsome?” Jade was grinning ear to ear, unable to contain himself. Then, gently, Jade raised his right hand and cupped Kamin’s cheek. He caressed his cheek for a few seconds, glancing at his lips. This wasn’t ordinary anymore. This had been going on for weeks. From making flirty remarks towards Kamin, teasing him, getting sort of teased back. This wasn’t normal anymore. Jade realized he wanted to be more than just work partners. “You can’t just do that to me and expect me not to go crazy, Inspector.” Jade nudged closer to his lips and leaned towards him. He pressed a gentle and soft kiss on Kamin’s cheek.
Kamin froze, pink rushing up his neck. With Jade’s thumb still caressing his cheek, Kamin’s lips crashed onto Jade’s, producing a smack sound. Jade melted into the kiss, letting out a soft groan. As they passionately kissed. Jade’s hands dropped to Kamin’s waist, carefully gripping his sides. Jade slid his tongue in, wanting to tease Kamin even more. Slowly, they separated from each other, panting in unsteady rhythms, filling up the room’s empty silence.
“Kamin, I..I think I'm falling for you.” That was the first time Jade hadn’t called him Inspector. The first time Jade didn’t playfully tease him.
“I..”
“Everything about you drives me crazy. I started teasing you because I found you..cute. I started realizing that..the more I teased you, the more I actually liked it. The more I got..really attracted to you. To be honest, I couldn’t stop thinking about you these past days. I tried to brush it off, convince myself I was just being silly. But no matter what I’m doing, all I can think about is you. When I'm running, I think about you. When I'm working, I think about you. When I'm hurt, I think about you. I even stay up at night thinking about you sometimes. I.. love you, Kamin.”
For a second, Jade hesitated. What if Kamin doesn’t like him that way? Was it a mistake telling him how he felt? Should he have just watched a movie by himself instead of teasing Kamin? Should he have gotten a grip?
“Inspector, I…I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable-”
“Jade.”
“I like you too, I..guess..”
Jade’s pouty face became a wide, beaming smile, like a kid given free candy. Jade gave him a quick peck, and pulled him into an embrace. They stayed hugging until Kamin spoke out. “Cap..I mean Jade, do you still want to watch a movie?...or would you rather do.. something else?.” Two can play that game. Jade wasn’t the only one capable of teasing like a maniac. Jade turned slightly pink again. He was the one who began teasing, but ended up being teased himself.
“Oh- Well, ha.., If you wanna do "something else"..do you have.. protection?..” Another silence. As Jade’s stomach fluttered with excitement, Kamin started laughing loudly, unable to stop. Jade’s smirk dropped, wondering what was so hilarious, as he had never seen Kamin laugh this hard.
“Jade..I was trying to ask If you wanted to play a game.. or just sit on the couch with me. You have such a dirty mind.” Jade became even more pink. How is he getting teased? How come he’s more flustered than the Inspector? Kamin then glanced down at Jade’s right arm, admiring his wolf tattoo.
“Also, Captain, your tattoo..I like it. Sometimes I can’t help but stare at it. You look really..good with it.” Kamin brought his hand up, and slid his fingers across the tattoo. He squeezed his bicep a little, mischievously grinning. Jade’s breath hitched a little, watching Kamin tease him, knowing It would drive him insane. “hah..You..let’s just watch a movie together.” Jade grabbed his hand, brought it close to his lips, and placed a tender kiss on his delicate fingers. He intertwined his fingers with Kamin’s and led him to the couch. He threw himself on the couch first, then gently dropped kamin on top of him. Jade paused to look at Kamin, taking the view in. Kamin’s serious eyebrows, his beautiful eyes, his sharp jaw, and his plump lips. “Love, you’re so beautiful..” Jade sniffed his hair, taking in a fresh, cozy scent of lavender. Kamin relaxed his entire body into Jade’s arms, his muscles no longer being tense. They were now boyfriends. All those nights where Jade would tease Kamin until he became speechless. Those nights where they had personal talks. That one night where they cuddled together. Kamin nuzzled into Jade’s chest, smiling to himself. He looked up, and found Jade half asleep. Jade had one eye cracked slightly open, the other closed. He thought it was pretty funny..and cute.
“Jade, If you’re tired, let’s just go to bed. We don’t have to-” “No. Screw the movie. I’d rather cuddle you to sleep, Inspector.” “If you insist..” For the rest of the night, they held each other in a deep sleep. The tension between them had now faded, and they were peaceful as can be. The couch was probably going to cause them back pain in the morning, but their hearts would dare them to love for eternity.
