Work Text:
A all-consuming warmth is the first thing he notices. Jeongin is about to panic until it hits him. Chan. As soon as the initial haze wears off, all he can feel is peace and the joy of getting to spend every morning with the love of his life. Staying as still as he can just to make the moment last longer.
“Yen ah, I know your awake”
~well there goes that
“Morning hyung”
“Morning jagi’
“Are you 100% sure we have to get up?” To his luck though this earns him a tiny laugh from Chan. “Baby we have to record today, you know Binnie will kill me if I’m late.”
Despite all protest Jeongin made he was eventually dragged out of bed (very much against his will). And so, after Chan's done getting ready I.N heads off to pick out his outfit while the older goes to make them breakfast.
… - -.-
Surprisingly they are not running late but rather around 30 minutes early.
“Hyung~” “That can’t be good” Said with the deadest tone one can muster at 8am. Yet the maknae will not stand for this, he’s the one in charge here after all. So, he uses the greatest power gifted to him. Sad. Eyes. And Chan, well he’s only a man after all.
“What is it baby?” “I want slushies.” To which the youngest is met with pure wonder. “Jeongin. Have you even seen the time, you want liquid sugar, this early in the day?” A nod. One thing about Jeongin is he’s a man of simple words. “You know what, why not. But when you have a brain freeze in the middle of a take I claim no responsibility.”
… - -.-
“Your psychotic”
Disgust, rage, and fear are all Chan feels at the moment, of course he’ll never say under that is an adoration for the gorgeous man he calls his. “Who in their right mind gets a red icee.” “It’s good” Says a man who’s had to defend his life on this very topic hundreds of times over.
“ It’s glorified cough syrup.”
“Say you have no taste that’s fine”
-I can’t believe it; I find the love of my life. Someone who is just perfect and great at everything they do, someone who loves me, my friends, and my family unconditionally. And they end up liking red slushies. What a world-
“ You cannot talk blue raspberry isn’t even a real fruit, sitting here talking about sugar at this time while drinking pure artificial coloring”
“Yeni it’s a slushie, arguing on which is healthier is like arguing which Stray Kids member is straighter.”
At that, whatever stupid argument was going on is quickly replaced by a fit of giggles coming from the both of them.
… - -.-
Even with the detour they arrive with about 15~20 before start time. So logical Chan gets brought into one of the spare private studios. At this point both their mouths are essentially neon. “Channie~, you have the tastebuds of a five year old”.
“Truly how can you drink that if mine is cough syrup yours is-
Poor Jeongin never gets to finish insulting his hyung.
His body reacts before his mind even understands what's happening, lips moving against Chan’s in a memorized game. Both men fusing together as if one being. After so many years with each other it's as if no words are needed, they simply know what the other needs.
Again acting on pure instinct, what was once a soft loving kiss quickly spirals into a heated battle of teeth and tongue. In a desperate attempt to gain control of the situation Jeongin shoves Chris into the wall, pinning the elder in place.
“God I love you baby” Chan whispers in the middle of a short gasp for air. Clearly none of them are quite fond of the idea of being apart from each other, the second there's enough air to barely breathe right their mouths fine one another again straight back into a mess of spit and want.
Without thinking twice Jeongin presses closer moving his leg between Chan only to be met with the most pitiful sound he’s ever heard for the older man. “Mmmmm~”. With this newfound power he can’t help but keep going, pushing just a bit harder hoping to hear such a beautiful noise again.
*Bzzzt Bzzzt Bzzzt*
-Curse having a job- I.N is so sure he’s one inconvenience away from quitting entirely.
“Ughhh”
“I know baby, but work can’t wait”
And then, because Chan is a demon sent to corrupt his soul-
“We can pick it back up once we get home”
My god if you couldn’t just hear the smirk on that man’s face. Lucky the world grants Jeongin at least one win. Remembering their current position, and being just as much of a demon, he not so subtly moves his leg back up to push even harder right where his hyung is most worked up. A petty revenge he’s sure and yet a win in his book.
To bring it home he waltzes right out of the room leaving Chan a stuttering mess.
… - -.-
I.N’s happy to work with his best friends, that does not mean however that he doesn’t want to get out of this booth as soon as possible.
He’s busy recording his lines for a new group track, to his absolute joy it’s a bit more of a sensual song. As innocent as he may seem he truly does love these kinds of songs.
Delivering his first line flawlessly (he’s yang jeongin, of course it was perfect) really nailing that deep tone the song needs of him. 3racha has worked with all the boys for forever yet the voice of their youngest is always jaw dropping.
“Yenah, give me one chance i promise i’ll be good to you”
-How many men is Changbin after, Hyunjin, Felix, now him- “Don’t listen to him, trust me, say the word i’ll leave Lee know for you. Please one shot” -Hannie too, his ego is not coming down from this-To said maknaes credit he can’t really judge, the freak in him is just too strong. And who is he to turn down the advance of such a beautiful man.
So, he reacts the way any clear minded person would at such an offer.
Hitting that one gif of the cat Felix won’t stop sending him
And with that one move the three boys opposite lose it.
-goddam he is hot-
“Do that again baby, just once more” He’s starting to think maybe Han was telling the truth about leaving Lee know hyung. Again how could one refuse the request of such a gorgeous man.
Han now with his phone out gets everything, all Jeongin can think about is how that's 100% going straight to the group chat. Well, he’s had his dignity for long enough.
What he didn’t see was the quick look between Han and Binnie. “It appears I was right”
And Chan can’t help it “Make today a holiday, Jisung’s first time ever being right!”
Jeongins suddenly very happy to not be Chan because the look Jisung gave would probably paralyze him.
“Yenah~ do tell why your tongues purple?” He’s not quite sure about that look on his hyungs face, for whatever reason Han looks like he’s won something.
Yet to Jeongin that has to be the stupidest question he’s been asked, which says something.
He then raises his slushie while looking at Han like he truly is the biggest dummy ever.
“So there's this really fun thing where when you drink a slushie your mouth tends to take the color of the 200mg of pure sugar you just drank.”
Jisung looks slightly annoyed while Binnie just looks fucking jolly.
“Aegi I think we're all aware of that, what i can’t help but notice is that your drink is red”
-Wow Changbin has eyes- “Thank you hyung i couldn’t tell” He says while examining his cup.
” Dear, if your drink is red and your mouths purple…”
Oh
Well shit. Years have gone and they’ve never told the kids about their relationship. It’s not even like they have a reason not to, both of them know the boys would be more than supportive, it’s just never come up. Aside from that it’s just been kind of nice, in an industry where you have so little privacy having that one thing to themselves had just felt freeing.
Suppose he can find a way out of this; some excuse as to why his mouth just had to be purple-
*slurp*
Of course, Chan just had to take the loudest sip known to man right then.
A sip of his very blue slush
And Han, poor Han Jisung looks like he’s just learned what sex was. Eyes about to pop out of his head, frantically looking between the two members, his brothers. “What the fuck”
It should be a serious moment but with Jisung’s face and Changbin Looking a second from passing out, all the remaining two could do was absolutely lose it.
… - -.-
Finally, after another hour or so I.N’s done for the day.
Heading out of the booth while his hyungs tell him how good he did. And rather than making a b-line for the exit he slowly walks up to Chan.
Standing behind his boyfriend's chair as he raps his arms around the lovely man below him. Nuzzling his face into Chris’ hair as Jeongin moves his hand up toward Chan’s neck, angeling his face up. One quick peck. Then another. Until it becomes a slow light kiss full of none of the past heat but rather pure love and awe.
“Oh my god I hate this team”-poor binnie the only single one in the room (which wouldn’t be the case if he decided to make a move)-
“Are you two gonna be insufferable now?”
“Well let's see Hannie…...” The fake thought from Chan really is quite evil. “The voices seem to be saying yes”
An airy bubble of laughter from all four of them. Jeongin really isn’t on for pda but…... If he gets to kiss his lovely boyfriend and annoy his brothers, well that seems like a winwin.
“Love birds hate to remind you Seungmin is arriving in like 3 minutes for his session so...”
How rude of Bin, trying to exile him from his own company building. -Wait, why the hell am i still here, this place sucks-
“Yes hyung. I’ll leave you all to your work while i go eat and sleep and rest on my couch”
Poor producers look like they might cry from realizing Jeongin gets to go home and they don’t.
*hump* -poor hannie.. Not really though-
Then in the quietest whisper he can manage, making sure only Chan hears him “See you at home baby, I believe we had work to take care of~”
