Work Text:
Dobin really wanted to try it.
There are times where both of them are working together in Eden’s personal studio, doing composing stuff, that Dobin’s eyes can’t help but keep eyeing Eden’s lips while the older man is talking to him.
Or when Eden is focused while working, his lips unconsciously form into a thin line, sometimes tapping his lips with his fingers, before he frowns and slightly pouts if something is not working for him.
(Somehow, the lips are looking more inviting the more he stares at it.)
“Hey–”
“Huh? Yes?”
“Hey, Kim Dobin! Are you listening?!”
“Uh! Yes! Yes, Hyung, I am!” Dobin immediately responds, pulling himself back from a trance before noticing Eden’s confused expression on him. “This song! Yes! I will try to make some adjustments on the choreography later and I will let you know when I’m done!”
Eden raised an eyebrow, but soon shrugged, “Yeah, let me know later.”
“Yes!”
“And stop staring at me like that.”
“Why, Hyung? Are you shy since we are dating now?”
“Hmm, Dobin-ah, so you’re saying you want to get smacked so badly?”
“Like what, Hyung? With a smack of love?”
Dobin got slapped hard on the back by Eden's spicy hand instead.
Somehow, after they are officially dating, let’s just say Dobin finally has some taste in discrimination against non-Kim Dobin.
Not full-on discrimination though, but some of it, and Dobin is actually fine with it since Eden does prioritize him more recently, especially privately.
Also, Eden has been not throwing a fuss when Dobin showers him with physical affection lately; hugging, holding hands, playing with his hair, and other things except kissing especially on the lips.
(It is not like Dobin does not want to? It just seems the timing is just not right yet for them.)
Dobin does not really think much about it; they just started dating anyway, and Eden being soft on him itself is already a win for him.
There are times where Eden watches TV in the living room with Dobin, he would reflexively wrap his arms around Dobin’s shoulder and pull him closer, leaning his head on top of Dobin’s head, seeming unaware by his own action. Dobin pretends to not notice, internally giggling by the sudden affection, and when Eden finally notices, he just chuckles while ruffling Dobin’s soft hair instead.
(Dobin never thought he would think Eden and Cute can be formed together in a full sentence, even if it is from his own mouth.)
“Hyung,” Dobin calls Eden, who is technically monopolizing his bed by sprawling on top of it, leaving Dobin to sit on the chair instead. “Can I ask you something?”
“What is it.”
“Can I kiss you?”
Eden turns to his sides on the bed, facing Dobin, before he frowns, “On where?”
Dobin blinks, scoots his chair closer to the bed, sounds curious, “On your lips? I wanted to try it. If it is okay with you, though, Hyung.”
Eden sits up, sighing as he shakes his head rather looking amused, before he scoots closer to Dobin, sitting on the side of the bed. “Sure, try it then.”
Dobin reflexively cups Eden’s face with his palms, his eyes studying Eden’s facial features from up close. Despite his scary impression, when Eden is being quiet like he is now, he surprisingly looks handsome to him.
(And somehow he looks so pretty today.)
“You’re more handsome than I thought, Hyung.”
“Was that an insult, you punk?”
“No, no! I’m complimenting you!” Dobin immediately shakes his head, “Listen, listen! Your eyes are so pretty, you have such a fluttery eyelashes, your facial features are sharp and prominent, and your lips–”
Eden looks flustered by the sudden compliment bombs, and tries to let go of Dobin’s hands by pulling it away from his face. “Okay, okay, I get it already! You can stop now!”
Dobin’s hands stay persistent on Eden’s face, however, before he adds, “And your lips!” he exclaims, “It looks! It looks so… kissable...”
Blinking, Eden’s hands stop on Dobin’s wrists, soon letting go as he scratches the back of his head, tries to look away. “Is… is that so.”
“Yes, Hyung, it is.”
“I see,” Eden sighs, yet Dobin notices how his cheeks slowly turn red on his pale skin. “I see…”
“Can I kiss it, Hyung?” Dobin asks, his thumb gently grazing on Eden’s lips.
Eden blinks, soon throws him a small nod, quietly grabbing Dobin’s hoodie collar, before he closes his eyes.
Dobin quietly chuckles, tilting his head before he closes the distances between their lips, soon closing his eyes as their lips finally meet.
It was a short, chaste kiss, with Dobin pulled back after that, watching over Eden’s reaction, whose gaze soon met his.
They went silent as they looked at each other; Dobin’s heartbeat sounds so loud it rings into his ears, feeling his face hot all of sudden.
Eden’s lips are softer than he thought, which actually feels pretty nice, that Dobin actually wants to kiss him again if he could.
Can he? He wanted to ask, but his body moves faster than his mind by Dobin pulling Eden close to kiss him again, again and again like he cannot get enough of it.
Eden was the first one to pull back, breath ragged as he stopped Dobin with his forearm on the younger man’s chest, while he closed his mouth with the other hand–seeming surprised by the sudden kisses attack–his eyes slightly widened as he looked at Dobin.
“Huh? Why, Hyung? What’s wrong? Was it too much?” Dobin asks, sounds confused yet flustered despite the rough breathing. “Are you okay, Hyung??”
“Hey, you–” Eden gasps, seeming flustered, but when he sees Dobin’s expression, he pauses, soon putting down his forearm. “...did you learn that from the anime you watched recently?”
Dobin blinks in confusion. “I… I think so? Or not? I don’t know, Hyung, I have not watched romance anime recently–ah, Hyung, why are you laughing! Is my kiss that bad?!”
“Ah, no, no, sorry, sorry, pfft–” Eden tried to stifle his laugh, soon stifling a cough to stop his laugh. “It’s just…” Eden sighs, somehow calmed down before he faces Dobin, throwing him a soft, relieved smile. “I thought I was gonna get eaten by how rough it was.”
The younger man frowns, slightly pouting before he sits beside Eden, grunting. “You can just say I’m bad at it, Hyung. You don’t have to sugarcoat it…”
“It’s not, Dobin-ah,” Dobin still pouts as Eden tries to reassure him with a pat on his shoulder, “It’s not bad. I was just really surprised.”
Dobin looks up to him, still pouting. “Really…?”
Eden throws him a small nod, soon ruffling Dobin’s soft hair. “Really. I was just pretty surprised since it’s a bit rough.”
“Oh, I see,” Dobin rubs his own chest, seems relieved. “Sorry, Hyung. I won’t do that again.”
“The kiss?” Eden sounds surprised by his answer. “You don’t want to kiss Hyung anymore?”
Dobin shakes his head in response, “No, Hyung! Of course I still want to kiss you again! But I will try to be gentler next time!”
The older man frowns, soon cupping Dobin’s jaw with one hand, forcing the latter to face him. “I didn’t say I hate it, though?”
“Huh…?”
“I said I don’t mind.” Eden smirks, pulling Dobin’s face closer to his. “So do it again.”
“Hyung–”
Before Dobin has the chance to answer, Eden steals a peck on Dobin’s lips, smirking when he notices Dobin’s flustered face. “Dobin-ah, your answer?”
“Y-yes! I will kiss you both rough and gentle interchangeably instead, Hyung!”
Eden’s laugh echoes in Dobin’s room, shaking his head in both amusement and disbelief. He let go of his hand on Dobin’s face before he threw his back on the bed, smirking while tapping his own lips, inviting the younger man to do what he promised.
Dobin reflexively leans closer to Eden, looming on top of Eden as his heartbeat slowly pumps faster once again, feeling the blood rushing all over his body, before he tilts his head and meets their lips once again, soon their tongues tangled in silence.
Dobin was so glad that he locked his room earlier, or else they would see Eden being flushed so dearly under him, and he would hate to share the sight to the world but him.
