Re: [FILL] REM pt 2
âDoes that mean the takeout has arrived?â Soobin asks, softly, when the âTunaâ loop is abruptly replaced by BTS J-Hope âChicken Noodle Soupâ.
âYouâre getting it,â Seungkwan says approvingly, and strokes his hair again. Soobin is lying with his head pillowed on Seungkwanâs chest, adjusting to all the ways his body feels now, some sore, some humming, some sticky, all amazing. With a groan, Seungkwan stretches again â âYou may laugh now, but after age twenty-five your neck will fight you too, I promiseâ â and starts moving, dropping one more, quick kiss to Soobinâs mouth before looking for his clothes.
Out in the living area, Jeonghan has arranged containers of food on the dining room table. When he sees them emerge, he pushes something on his phonescreen and the ambient music abruptly stops.
âI had a wonderful emailing session, thanks for asking,â Jeonghan greets them calmly. âIâm going to tell you both all about the boss of mine who doesnât understand how file paths work or recall that our entire SharePoint has migrated to a new domain. Listen well, and praise me frequently for my forbearance.â
Itâs a good meal, and Soobin finds himself with more appetite than heâs had in a while. He feels fizzy, out of sync with the world in the best possible way, as though heâs a traveller from another, better time. Seungkwan is there, Seungkwan is looking at him, under hooded eyes, Seungkwan wanted him, kissed him, touched him. Seungkwan was inside him, not even an hour ago! Soobin doesnât know how heâs going to leave, now. He casts his mind over what he knows of Seungkwanâs schedule â when can they do this again?
As they clear up, Seungkwan takes a bag of trash down the hallway to the garbage chute. Soobin volunteers at the sink, and Jeonghan dries. He wonders how much Jeonghan heard, really. Seungkwan clearly adores his hyung, but Soobinâs always been a little scared of him.
âIâm sorry about the table,â Soobin finds himself saying.
âYou should be careful,â Jeonghan answers. Heâs doing circular drying motions on the plate in his hands, but heâs looking directly at Soobin. âKnocking over tables and so on. People can get hurt too.â He puts the plate in a stack, picks up another. âAre you bleeding, at all? Itâs OK to talk about it. I have some cream stuff if you are, itâs better to deal with it right away, trust me.â
Soobin can feel the blush on his face. He doesnât want to think about how Jeonghan knows. âThatâs OK, itâs⊠itâs fine. Seungkwan-hyung looked after me. I know he always would.â
Jeonghan offers another very level gaze. âYou be sure and look after him too,â he says. Then he takes the latest plate directly from Soobinâs gloved hands. âIf you want to come over here sometimes when Iâm working from home, youâre welcome. I get lonely, when theyâre all away, and I know the nonsense the labels do with people who are supposed to be resting, âaccidentallyâ leaving lyrics and timetables and internet sentiment analysis around.â
Soobin blinks at him, surprised. âThatâs on purpose?â
âThat is an entire strategy,â Jeonghan nods. âCome over here and tidy your boyfriendâs room for him instead.â
âHyung!â Seungkwan complains, and Soobin looks round to see heâs back from his garbage chute trip, standing in the doorway.
âDo you not want a tidy room?â Jeonghan asks.
âI mean, we donât have to beâŠâ Soobin stops, twisting his hands together. He had, he realises now, kind of thought that maybe they were. Or would be. He hadnât, anyway, stopped to think that they wouldnât. That actually people hook up all the time, and donât date, especially in their industry.
He looks up when he senses Seungkwan walking towards him. Heâs seen Seungkwan flirt and tease with the best of them, heâs seen Seungkwan obfuscate and bullshit and charm. Right now, Seungkwanâs eyes are very wide.
âIâd like to be, if youâd like that,â Seungkwan says softly. âI wasnât going to ask yet,â and he turns a glare in Jeonghanâs direction, âbut, I mean, youâve got me. You know that, right?â
Soobin is still staring, as Jeonghan wanders away, cackling. âGlad thatâs cleared that up,â he says opening his bedroom door and then closing it behind him. Seconds later from the house speakers, there comes in a blast the opening bars of BTS Jungkook âSevenâ ft. Latto.
âHe thinks heâs so funny,â Seungkwan repeats, rolling his eyes.
Soobin shrugs. âHe kind of is,â he says, and smiles, and bends down to kiss Seungkwan again.

and if i cry???????
Then he looks down at Soobin again. Soobin, who has ricocheted from aroused to startled to afraid to dismayed and back again in what feels like ten seconds, looks up. Heâs been taught a thousand things about how to look alluring, heâs had lip fillers and tooth veneers and cartilage shaves and laser hair removal and in this moment he canât think of the art of any of it. Jeonghan and Seungkwanâs fancy designer cushions are digging into his back, he has Seungkwanâs knee solid and unbelievable between his legs and Seungkwanâs mouth hovering over his. And in the background, BTS Jin voicing a tuna who sings hyung, hyung, please take me.
the absolute emotional journey this paragraph took me on, holy cow
i love this. i love your soobin and his vulnerability. i love your seungkwan and how strong his narrative voice is despite not being the pov character (âJesus,â Seungkwan swears. He drops for a moment, pressing his lips to Soobinâs neck. âIâm not impervious,â he murmurs, âheaven help me.â) i love your jeonghan and his gremlinisms. just absolutely lovely all around. thank you so much for writing and sharing!!
