Taehyung couldn’t stop the hum of contentment from slipping past his lips as he snuggled deeper into the warm body beneath him. Feeling the warm puffs of breath ghosting his cheek, he fluttered his eyelids open only to be met with the soft sleeping face of his youngest boyfriend, lips parted ever so slightly, his long raven locks tousled against his pillow. Shuffling slightly as to avoid waking younger, he untwined his arm from around his waist and sat up and stared down as he watched him move slightly, seeking out the lost warmth before cuddling into his other sleeping boyfriend. Looking down in awe at the two loves of his life, Taehyung broke out into a large smile before slipping from under the sheets and tip-toeing out of the room as to not disturb the sleeping boys.
He shivered as he entered their living room, only clothed in one of Jeongguk’s oversized t-shirts. Running a hand through his blonde hair, he opened the cabinets in search of a few ingredients. Today was Jeongguk’s birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with birthday pancakes. Now, Taehyung wasn’t a chef by any means, but how hard could following an online recipe be? He grabbed a bit of flour, some baking powder, and sugar before reaching into the fridge to grab milk and eggs. Simple enough. He quickly rummaged for a measuring cup, bowl, and pan- swearing softly when he accidentally banged the cabinets close a bit too hard.
He lifted his head and peaked over at the door of the bedroom to see if he’d accidentally woken the two boys, breathing a sigh of relief when the door remained closed.
“What are you doing Tae?” a voice says from behind him causing him to jump and drop the items he was holding in the process.
“Fuck, Joonie! You scared me!” Taehyung whisper yelled at his now awake boyfriend, swatting him with the kitchen towel he had placed on his shoulder.
“Sorry baby,” he chuckles in response, pressing a light kiss to Taehyung’s forehead before bending down slightly to press a second to his pout.
“Don’t baby me,” Taehyung moaned gesturing toward the floor. “Look at the mess we made!”
“It’s just flour Tae, we have more.” Namjoon replied, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s waist.
“Uh huh, you better sweep it up.” Taehyung says, rolling his eyes but unable to keep the smile off of his face as he took in his dimpled boyfriend’s bed head and lack of clothing other than a pair of hermit crab boxers.
“Wow, I get rudely woken up and now I have to clean too?” Namjoon whined tiredly.
“Shit, Jeongguk didn’t wake up did he?” Taehyung lowered his voice to a whisper hoping the latter to be untrue.
“Nah, you know he sleeps like a rock. What are you doing anyway?” Namjoon answered, reluctantly letting go of Taehyung’s waist to sweep up the flour from the floor.
“Well, I was trying to make pancakes.” he replies, whisking together the dry ingredients before cracking a few eggs into a separate glass bowl.
“I’m pretty sure there aren’t supposed to be shells in there.” Namjoon teases, wiggling a finger at the small white pieces that definitely do not belong in the bowl.
“How about instead of standing there and looking pretty, you get off your butt and help me?” Taehyung says throwing a glare at his boyfriend that was meant to be intimidating, but only made his smile grow in size, dimples deepening as his eyes crinkled at how adorable Taehyung is.
“Fine… I guess I’ll help.” Namjoon groaned in sarcastic protest unable to deny his cute boyfriend anything, and grabbed the bowl and picking up the broken shells that had fallen in.
“Thank you baby” Taehyung says in a sing song-y voice, equally as weak for the beautiful man in front of him.
Finishing off the batter, and throwing some butter into the pan to melt, Taehyung poured a decent amount inside before turning the heat on low, smiling to himself as the pancake began to lightly bubble.
“While that’s cooking…” Namjoon interrupted, slipping his hands underneath the only article of clothing Taehyung was wearing, rubbing small circles on the bare skin of his torso.
“Hyung…” Tae whispered back with a knowing smirk as he ghosted his lips over his boyfriend’s, gasping when he felt Namjoon’s finger brush his nipple lightly, causing the former to take full advantage and slip his tongue past Taehyung’s lip resulting in a throaty groan from the younger. Taehyung shuffled closer to Namjoon, pulling his hips flush against his own, moaning lowly at the delicious friction due to the very thin layers between the two.
Too caught up in the moment, they both failed to notice the burning pancake behind them before the room filled with smoke, causing the fire alarm to blare loudly making them jump apart quickly.
“Shit!” Taehyung yelled, running to the stove to turn off the flame as Namjoon went to move the hot pan onto the counter.
“What’s going on? Is everyone okay?” A frantic voice yelled behind them.
Taehyung turned around and was met with the wide eyes of Jeongguk as he waved a towel in the air in hopes to clear some of the smoke.
“Oh baby…” Taehyung walked over to the younger, placing a hand against his cheek. “I’m sorry for waking you. I was trying to surprise you with pancakes… but I got distracted and now it’s all burnt.” he pouted, motioning toward the blackened pancake currently in the pan.
“It’s my fault Gukkie, I kind of... distracted Tae instead of letting him pay attention.” Namjoon added, feeling a bit bad for having forgotten about the food while kissing Taehyung.
“Why were you making me pancakes hyung?” Jeongguk questioned, concerned over how upset Taehyung seemed to be over the burnt food.
“Because it’s your birthday and I wanted you to have a nice homemade breakfast!” Tae whined, pout deepening causing Jeongguk to giggle cutely before kissing him.
“It’s okay baby. I appreciate it.” Jeongguk says, pulling Taehyung into his arms and squeezing him tightly in reassurance before turning toward the charcoal pancake. “I mean, I see you have more batter, and I’m sure this can be salvaged right?” he continued, reaching into the pan and ripping off a piece of the pancake.
The outside was burnt, but the inside was still in a sort-of manageable state. He took a quick sniff before deeming it not too awful to try, and popping it into his mouth. However the choke he let out upon chewing had Namjoon running over to check on his boyfriend.
“Are you okay?” He asks, patting Jeongguk’s back softly as he tried to swallow the rest of the pancake.
“Hyung… What did you put in those pancakes…” Jeongguk questioned, quickly downing the glass of water Taehyung had run to get.
“Uh, the normal stuff? Flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, sugar, a pinch of salt-”
“A pinch? Are you sure you didn’t dump the whole jar in the batter?” Jeongguk cut him off, cringing at the awful taste still in his mouth.
“Namjoon…” Taehyung says, glaring at their boyfriend who was in charge of adding the sugar to the batter.
“Oops?” the elder replied cutely, raising his shoulders slightly as an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, causing Jeongguk to giggle once more, before tip toeing to place a kiss on his cheek.
“Okay, how about we just make eggs and toast?” Jeongguk suggests, walking over to the fridge to grab the items.
“We can’t, I used them all for the pancake batter.” Taehyung mumbles- pouting again, making Jeongguk shuffle over and boop his nose with a small “Stop that.” until he smiled again.
“How about… we get starbucks… and then head over to Hoseok’s?” Namjoon suggests, walking over to his boyfriends and wrapping them both up in his arms.
“I like that idea.” Jeongguk hums, leaning up to press a kiss against Namjoon’s lips, the elder unable to stop the grin from spreading across his face.
“Happy Birthday baby” Namjoon says lovingly, snuggling his face into the youngest’s neck, placing soft kisses to the plush skin.
“We’re sorry for ruining the pancakes,” Taehyung adds, nuzzling the other side of Jeongguk’s cheek, his ears turning pink with the overdose of affection from his two boyfriends.
“It’s okay” he replies, pausing to give them each a kiss of reassurance. “Hyung, is that my shirt?” he asks, pointing to the white shirt swallowing Taehyung’s thin build.
“And if it is?” Taehyung answers with a quirked brow.
“Why are you wearing it?” Jeongguk continues, a confused expression on his face.
“Looks like someone doesn’t remember being exceptionally needy last night and refusing to allow us a moment away from him.” Taehyung smirks throwing a knowing glance at Namjoon.
“Oh.” Jeongguk responds, a blush dusting his cheeks as his mind recalls the intense events of the night before.
“We have some time before having to go to Hobi’s you know…” Namjoon says, a suggestive glint in his tone.
“Joonie’s right baby… Why don’t we show you how sorry we are about the pancakes and give you a reminder.” Taehyung continues, trailing a hand down Jeongguk’s bare chest. Leaning down to ghost his lips over his collarbones, keening as he hears the sharp in-take of breath from the youngest, before taking both his and Namjoon’s hands and guiding them to their king size bed to give Jeongguk the little reminder.
