Work Text:
seungmin watches as the unknown boy dances flawlessly, his body covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his movements fluid and fucking perfect.
this is his first time seeing said boy, he's wearing a long sleeved black shirt that's awfully loose on seemingly small frame. the outfit is paired with black sweatpants. he doesn't have any shoes on, feet covered by a pair of white socks.
he's really pretty. he immediately caught seungmin's eye as he walked passed the door of the preforming arts building while he was trying to pick up hyunjin.
the boys hair is long and dark. he's clearly focused on the dance he's beautifully executing.
his features are soft, gentle, kind.
a hand placed on his shoulder snaps him out of his daze, "seem pretty focused here seungmin." hyunjin quips while peering into the door.
his mouth forms a little 'o' shape, "who's that?" he asks, amused.
seungmin flushes, "i don't know. how should i even know? you're the dance major, you tell me me who he is." he replies, shrugging hyunjin's hand off his shoulder.
hyunjin squints, "he doesn't look familiar, but then again we did just get like 5 new dance majors. he's likely new." he replies after examining the dancing boy for a few more moments. "he's good." he adds.
seungmin nods, "really good..." he mumbles, finding himself getting lost in the man again.
hyunjin smirks at him, "you think he's cute huh?"
seungmin immediately shakes his head no, easily giving himself away, "no, no, just- he's intriguing is all." he says, stumbling over his words.
"how so?" hyunjin asks, leaning his long frame against the wall.
seungmin sighs, "dunno.." he mumbles.
"i don't think i ever seen you so distracted by a person before. i was starting to think you were aromantic." hyunjin says with a little giggle.
"shut up." seungmin mutters, cheeks red.
hyunjin laughs, "hey! that's not a bad thing." he says, ruffling seungmin's hair.
seungmin's about to make a snarky comment when the boy turns around and jumps at the sight of the two men watching him through the door.
seungmin's cheeks burn brighter at the sight.
the boy blinks rapidly, running a hand through his dark hair.
"um- sorry..we didn't mean to disturb you." seungmin says with a small bow.
the boy visibly furrows his brow, eyes transfixed on seungmin's lips.
seungmin raises a brow, turning his attention to hyunjin who just shrugs.
he faces the room again just for a door to be shut in his face.
he sighs when hyunjin giggles again.
"it's not funny you asshole.." he mumbles, running a hand over his face.
hyunjin smiles softly at him and walks down the hallway, gesturing for seungmin to follow. "there's no need to be embarrassed. maybe he didn't hear you." hyunjin says with a shrug.
seungmin scoffs, "i doubt that, he was probably weirded out."
"yeah, maybe." hyunjin replies.
seungmin sighs again, feeling as embarrassed as ever.
hyunjin throws an arm over his shoulder, "it's alright seungmin-ah. there's plenty of fish in the sea." he says.
seungmin smiles slightly but says nothing. what even is there to say? the first guy that he actually finds attractive at this school just shut the door in his face after he got caught watching him dance like a fucking creep.
he feels like an idiot, he doesn't ever allow himself to act like such a fool.
yet here he is.
-
seungmin must have done something terribly awful in his past life for the gods to be on his ass like this.
he keeps seeing the boy everywhere he goes, like literally everywhere.
wether it's in the library because seungmin had to study or literally just in the halls while walking to his classes. he honestly wouldn't be surprised if the man thought he was a stalker with how much they keep crossing paths with each other.
every time he sees those big, round eyes and lithe body he's reminded of that god awful experience he had just a few weeks ago.
it seems as if the boy only owns black long sleeves because whenever seungmin sees him that what he's wearing.
even when it feels like it's 1,000 degrees outside. the boy is still in a all black.
seungmin is currently making his way into the library to get some studying in. he has a history test in less than an hour and hasn't studied for it once in fear of running into the boy from the preforming arts building.
but apparently everyone hates him because; not only did he see the boy, he quite literally ran into him.
"fuck..." he mumbles as he looks down at the slightly shorter boy, "i'm so sorry." he immediately apologizes.
he sees the boys face scrunch up, eyes focused on his lips.
seungmin flushes, "um- is there something on my face?" he asks dumbly while wiping at his cheeks.
the shorter boy blinks a few times before shaking his head, as in no.
seungmin nods, "a-are you okay?" he asks tentatively.
big eyes stay trained at his lips, not meeting his eyes once. the boy nods before scrambling out of the library's doors.
seungmin stands there dumbfounded, cheeks dark red.
if the boy didn't already hate him, he definitely did now. seungmin had practically slammed into him.
seungmin's getting ready to finally walk away when he notices a book on the floor.
he picks it up and reads the cover, 'chemistry' is written in big letters on the front.
the boy must've dropped the book when seungmin trampled him. seungmin sighs and tucks the book into his bag.
he'll have to figure out a non-creepy way to somehow give the book back to its owner.
-
"it's alright minnie, really, you have another chance to not blow it." hyunjin says, hand running through seungmin's hair gently.
seungmin has his head down, groaning into his arms.
"what's up with him?" felix asks while walking over to their table, jisung not far behind him.
"he saw this cute guy a few weeks ago and embarrassed himself in front of him, he saw him again today and embarrassed himself even more." hyunjin explains, and he can't help but giggle at how ridiculous this situation is.
seungmin lifts his head, "stop hyunjin-ah.." he whines quietly.
jisung gasps dramatically, hand over his chest. "it's possible for seungmin to find people cute?" he asks while pulling out his notebook to write down some notes, likely for his next class.
seungmin glares at him.
"that's literally what i thought when i saw him staring at him while he was dancing!" hyunjin says, or rather yells.
felix giggles, "who is it?" he asks while stealing a fry from hyunjin's tray.
seungmin runs a hand down his face, "i don't know, okay? i don't even know his name." he replies while thunking his head onto the table.
"what's he look like?" jisung asks, attention fully on his notebook.
seungmin shrugs, "he's got long dark hair and he's quiet. every time i've talked to him he says nothing, just looks at my lips and walks away." he grumbles out.
jisung looks up from his notebook and cocks a brow, "looks at your lips?"
seungmin nods, "yeah, the two times i've been face to face with him he's never looked me in the eye."
"interesting.." jisung comments.
seungmin blinks a few times, "how so?"
jisung puts his pencil down and gives his full attention to seungmin, "does he always wear black, like even if its scorching outside?"
seungmin's face lights up, "yeah! he does. do you know him?"
jisung smiles and shakes his head, "not well no, but we have next class together." he replies.
seungmin nods, "will you give this to him? he dropped it when i accidentally ran into him earlier." he says while pulling out the chemistry book from his bag.
jisung smirks, "how about you give it to him? maybe you can redeem yourself cupid." he says with a shrug.
seungmin groans, slamming the book down. "i can't do that! he probably hates me!" he protests.
felix chuckles, "maybe he's just shy?" he says, hoping to reassure seungmin and his panicking mind.
"you should totally do it seungminnie!" hyunjin says, grabbing his hands and shaking him. "don't be a dumbass, this is your chance to fully talk to him."
seungmin grumbles and pushes hyunjin away, "fine, fine, i'll do it! stop nagging me!" he replies picking up the book and putting it back in his bag.
the small group chats and eats their shitty lunch food until the bell rings.
seungmin feels his heart drop.
"good luck minnie!" felix says while linking his arm with hyunjin's so they can skip off to their shared class.
seungmin sighs and turns to jisung, "you ready?" he says while grabbing his bag.
jisung puts away his notebook before zipping up his bag and slinging it over his shoulder, "ready!" he says while showing seungmin to his class where the boy is at.
it's not hard to find him in the crowd of people, jisung shots him a thumbs up before turning away.
seungmin takes a deep breath as he approaches the boy.
the shorter man blinks and cocks a brow.
seungmin immediately flushes, "sorry- um..you dropped this earlier, thought i'd give it back to you.." he says, voice a shaky mess. he clears his throat.
the boys eyes fall onto his lips again before he's reaching for the book, and that's when seungmin notices how small his hands are. it's adorable.
"oh- thank you.. i was looking for it all day.." he says, seungmin finds himself flushing deeper at the sound of the shorter's light voice.
seungmin smiles, "yeah, yeah, of course." he says while scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
the boy blinks slowly, "wait- can you repeat that..?" he asks, voice soft and airy, and that's also when seungmin notices the lisp in his voice.
seungmin cocks a brow, "um- i-i said of course?" he repeats.
"o-oh.." then there's just a moment of silence, seungmin looks around awkwardly. "well uh- thank you again.." he says, and seungmin can see just how red his ears are.
seungmin smiles, "no problem." he mumbles.
the boy smiles back slightly before walking into the classroom.
seungmin releases a breath he didn't know he was holding.
jisung comes into view and smiles, "so?" he asks, dragging out the 'o'.
seungmin sighs, "i never realized how fucking awkward i am, it doesn't help that he is too." he mumbles.
jisung pats his shoulder, "hey, at least you talked to him." he points out. "plus everyone is awkward with their first crush."
seungmin scoffs, "he is not my first crush."
jisung shrugs, "first one that you've obsessed this much over." he says teasingly, seungmin hates that he right about that. seungmin has never been this obsessed with anyone.
he flushes, pushing jisung towards his class. "get to class." he mutters, hearing an amused giggle from jisung as he walks away.
-
at the end of the day seungmin, felix, jisung, and hyunjin all meet up so they can go to a little cafe on the far end of the campus.
seungmin had suggested there specifically since it was quite far and no one would really be in there.
"you guys ready?" hyunjin asks.
"yup!" jisung says, tossing his gum wrapper in the trash can behind him.
"i've been ready!" felix complains, shaking hyunjin's arm.
seungmin just nods, "i'm ready." he replies shortly. he's been feeling slightly off ever since his conversation with the prettiest boy he's ever seen. he's knows he shouldn't still be thinking about it but he can help himself, he was just so awkward and the boy was just so pretty.
"alright then, if everyone's ready-" hyunjin starts but cuts himself off once he sees someone walking over to them.
seungmin gives him a questioning brow and hyunjin face palms himself. jisung makes a gesture for him to turn around.
so he does, and he's met with those big round eyes again.
he immediately flushes.
"hi- um sorry..just- d-did you see a paper inside of the textbook when you picked it up?" the boy asks, ears flushed. his voice still has a lisp to it but he is speaking louder than before.
seungmin furrows his brow, "i don't think i seen one.." he says, trailing off as he tries to recall the memory from earlier.
the shorter boy nods, eyes focused on his lips again. "that's fine. it was just some notes." he mumbles.
seungmin smiles, "i can check my bag?" he offers.
the boy smiles softly, "if it's not an inconvenience."
seungmin shakes his head, "no, s'not." he mumbles, grabbing his backpack and searching through it.
luckily he finds a lose paper in there. he holds it up, "is this it?"
the boy smiles wider, his cute little bunny teeth showing. seungmin feels like he could die, "yeah! that's it." he says, voice slightly raised but still soft.
seungmin smiles and hands the paper to him, "well there you go!" he says cheerfully to compensate for his running nerves.
the boy eyes his lips again, "thank you uh-..." he says, trailing off once he realizes he doesn't even know the others name.
seungmin seems to notice, "oh! uh- i'm seungmin." he replies.
the man looks at his lips and blinks, "um- could you write that down so i could pronounce it better?" he mumbles, cheeks flaming red.
seungmin cocks his brow but does it anyway, taking out a pen and writing it on a sticky note.
the boy analyzes the note before speaking up, "seung-min..?" he mumbles questioningly.
seungmin smiles, "yeah, yeah, that's right." he replies, shifting awkwardly.
the boy smiles as well, "thank you seungmin." he says, fidgeting with his small hands.
seungmin nods, "of course, um- what's your name?" he asks, scratching the back of his neck.
the boy blinks a few times, eyes trained at seungmin's mouth, "it's minho." he replies.
"minho.." seungmin echoes, so his face is pretty and his name is pretty.
the boy- minho hums, "i'll see you around seungmin." he says with a little smile.
seungmin grins, "yeah, see you around minho." he replies while waving the other boy off as he walks away.
seungmin turns around and sighs, "he's so fucking pretty, oh my god..." he mumbles to his friends with flushed cheeks.
hyunjin coos.
jisung chuckles, "ah, nothing like young love." he says, teasingly ruffling seungmin's hair.
"he really is the first person you've felt like this for isn't he?" felix says while giggling.
seungmin sighs, "i think so? i don't know! he's just like really pretty, and i've never thought that about anyone before." he mutters, running a hand through his hair.
hyunjin tosses his arm over his shoulder, "don't stress about it seungminnie! it can be a good thing." he points out.
seungmin hums but doesn't say anything, his mind is still racing with the thought of minho, minho, minho. minho and his pretty eyes, his long eyelashes, his perfect nose, his pretty long hair. god, seungmin is going to lose his mind.
-
seungmin had went from just seeing minho in the halls, to smiling at him in the halls, and now he talks to him as they pass through the halls.
wether it's as simple as a 'hi, minho.' or 'good morning minho.' it still causes him to feel all giddy inside.
he truly likes minho, unlike all his other "crushes."
something about minho is just different. for starters, he's actually attracted to minho, he is definitely entranced by minho's face.
he finds himself taking different routes to class just so he can cross paths with minho.
he feels down bad. perhaps he is exactly that.
right now he is making his way toward the preforming arts building so he can get hyunjin and felix. (and hopefully minho.)
he says hopefully because jisung had dared him to invite minho to one of their hangouts with them so they can all get to know him.
and usually seungmin wouldn't do something as stupid as a dare from jisung of all people, but he really does want to hangout with minho. so he said yes.
he doesn't know exactly where to find minho, but he decides to try his luck with where he saw the boy the first time.
he makes his way to the dance room where he had saw minho first, it's the one all the way in the back of the building.
and today must be his lucky day because minho is in there. he's dancing again, black hoodie covering his upper half, black sweatpants on his lower half, and he's not wearing shoes again, just a pair of gray socks.
seungmin stands there for a while, debating whether or not he should interrupt minho or just wait it out.
he decides to interrupt, although he feels a little bit bad after seeing just how concentrated minho is.
minho looks perfect like this. he's in his own world, doing what he does best.
after a while of nervously going over ideas in his head, seungmin thinks that it's best if he makes his presence known rather then just stalking around. he sluggishly walks through the door and calls out to minho. when the boy doesn't respond he gently taps him to get him out of his dancing trance.
minho jumps, turning around quickly. his eyes fly over seungmin's face briefly before they subtle on seungmin's lips, like usual.
"i'm sorry for disturbing you, but um- do you want to hangout with me and my friends?" seungmin asks, fighting down the lump in his throat.
minho blinks a few times, walking over to the music to stop it. "could you repeat that?" he asks shyly.
seungmin clears his throat, "do you want to go out with me and my friends?" he repeats, voice going up an octave.
minho's ears immediately flush a dark red, "l-like today?" he mumbles, running a hand through his sweaty hair.
seungmin thinks he is so pretty, even though he's a sweaty, flushed mess.
seungmin nods, "yeah, yeah, if you want to?"
minho blinks a few times, "like right now?"
seungmin feels slightly awkward, but then again he can't really blame minho.
"yeah, i mean you can change and shower if you want but yeah um- it's supposed to be soon." seungmin replies, shifting from foot to foot.
minho licks his lips, "oh okay, um- yeah i-i'll go.." he stutters out, voice soft and airy.
seungmin grins, "okay, cool." he says. he turns to make his leave so he can wait outside but he feels a small hand lace around his wrist.
he turns around and sees those big eyes staring at him. seungmin feels his heart race. "can you stay? l-like in here, not outside?" minho asks wearily.
seungmin feels confused..? he wasn't planning on leaving, he was just going to wait outside. why did this seem to cause minho so much stress? obviously it's not that seungmin minds waiting in here, but the question of why still lingers in his head.
as seungmin gets ready to reply he sees minho's eyes fall to his lips again, "oh- yeah, i can stay in here if you need."
minho smiles slightly, "thank you. i-i'll be right back." he replies before letting go of seungmin's wrist. minho walks to his bag before going in the direction of the wash room.
it really doesn't take long before minho comes out with slightly damp hair. his face is flushed still, likely from the hot water from his shower. he's dressed simply, in a long sleeve black shirt, as usual, and some regular ripped jeans. he also has a pair of black converse on.
seungmin thinks he looks absolutely gorgeous.
sadly, his stupid mouth says exactly what he's thinking. "you look absolutely gorgeous." he mumbles before realizing that he just said that out loud.
minho blinks at him a few times, "um- do you mind repeating that? sorry i didn't catch it." he mutters, hand fiddling with his fingers.
seungmin's face heats up, his heartbeat rabbiting embarrassingly quick. "i-i- um- i just said that you l-look nice.." he rephrases. he'd actually rather have the floor eat him up then for him to have to repeat what he originally had said.
either way minho's ears turn bright red. seungmin wonders how dark they would've become if he actually repeated what he originally said.
"really, just in this?" minho mutters while looking down briefly at his outfit.
seungmin nods with a small smile. "yeah. i like your style." he says simply.
minho's face flushes this time, "t-thank you seungmin." he replies kindly, voice laced with his usual lisp.
seungmin nods, "yeah of course, you ready to get going?" he asks, checking the time on his wrist watch.
minho nods wordlessly. seungmin's noticed that minho doesn't talk much, only speaking up when he needs to.
seungmin decides that he likes that, he's not much of a talker himself.
so they fall into a comfortable silence, seungmin walking them to the small cafe where they'd met felix, hyunjin and jisung.
...
"...and that's felix." seungmin finishes introducing minho to his friends. "jisung will be here soon."
minho has his eyes locked on seungmin's lips again, he nods, "nice to meet you guys.." he says in a mink voice.
"you're in dance right?" felix asks, shoving a chip into his mouth.
minho nods his head again, "um- yeah i am, joined a few weeks ago." he replies, and that's when seungmin notices that minho's ears are flushed a pretty pink.
seungmin wonders if he's nervous.
felix flashes a bright smile, "cool! i'm happy you're on the team, you're very good!" he compliments.
minho blinks a few times, "oh- thank you, i-i really appreciate that." he says while bowing his head a bit.
hyunjin cuts in, "seriously though, you're very good. me and seungmin saw you not to long ago." he adds.
minho's face turns bright red, "thank you, you guys are too kind." he replies gratefully, fiddling with his fingers.
"you're not giving yourself enough credit!" felix shouts enthusiastically.
minho giggles happily. seungmin dies a just a little.
"hey, you should totally join our dance crew for the upcoming show!" hyunjin muses.
minho blinks, "oh- y-you would allow that?" he asks nervously.
"of course!" hyunjin and felix say in unison. "minho you'd be a huge asset to our team." felix adds.
minho grins, a smile seungmin hadn't seen before. "hm- i-i'll definitely think about it.." he replies.
felix frowns, "we need three people to be able to join the show.." he whines.
minho looks weary about it, "i have bad stage fright.." he mumbles quietly.
seungmin feels bad for him.
"guys don't push." seungmin says to his friends, voice kind but stern.
hyunjin's smile softens around the edges, "we didn't mean to push, i'm sorry." he says to minho.
minho waves his hand around, "it's alright, not a big deal." he reassures, kindly.
they go like that for a while, talking back and forth, all of them getting to know each other more. around 15 minutes in jisung shows up and him and minho instantly hit it off, talking about their shared chemistry class. it's nice. seungmin likes that everyone likes minho as much as he does.
-
seungmin thinks that he's starting to fall for minho more and more as the days pass. it was expected, but it still caught him by surprise.
minho was attractive, everyone knew that, minho likely knew that himself. but what seungmin liked most about minho was that he was never cocky about anything.
and seungmin also liked that minho was a little bit strange.
he notices all of minho's little quirks, like how he drags his feet when he walks. all of his friends hate it but seungmin secretly thinks it's adorable.
a few weeks after the hangout seungmin met all of minho's friends.
there's chan, who was the oldest when you put both little groups together. chan likes to workout and is a music major. he and jisung formed a special bond that day.
next is changbin, who also likes to workout and is also a music major, apparently that's how him and chan met in the first place. changbin also hits it off with jisung.
lastly is jeongin. jeongin is the youngest person there and is a fashion major. out of all minho's friends, seungmin likes him the most.
seungmin pays special attention to the way changbin stared at hyunjin that day. later seungmin learns from minho that it's because he as fallen head over heels for the younger man.
right now all eight of them are hanging out in seungmin and jisung's shared dorm.
changbin and hyunjin are silently giggling and conversing amongst themselves, chan is talking to felix about australia, and jisung and jeongin are in a heated match of super smash bros.
that leaves minho and seungmin, who are just talking about random things.
"cats are just better than dogs." minho says like it's the obvious answer for the question.
seungmin is happy to report that he and minho have gotten very close, minho warming up to him after about a month or so.
"dogs are like 100 times nicer, that ultimately makes them better." seungmin replies, sipping from his drink.
minho shakes his head, "you're wrong. sure cats can be meaner but that's just because they need time to warm up first." he says, voice laced with his usual lisp.
seungmin blinks a few times. that sounds oddly familiar. "kinda like you." he mutters.
minho's ears turn pink, "well, if i'm like a cat, then you are like a dog." he says, pulling at his own ears as if they'll lose their pink color from the touch.
seungmin laughs, "i guess so." he says thoughtfully, and he notices how minho's eyes are trained on his lips again. they always are whenever they are in a conversation with each other. seungmin has honestly gotten used to it but the question of why still lingers.
"puppy." minho says, almost like he's calling out to seungmin.
seungmin feels the heat rise in his cheeks.
minho giggles, "getting shy puppy.." he whispers, moving closer into seungmin's space.
seungmin clears his throat, "no, just caught me off guard." he defends weakly.
minho smiles, "is it okay if i call you that?" he asks, suddenly looking bashful. whatever confidence he had is long gone now.
seungmin smirks, "as long as i get to call you kitty." he replies teasingly.
minho flushes a dark red, his big eyes blinking rapidly. "k-kitty?" he asks, seemingly trying to clarify if that's actually what seungmin had said.
seungmin nods, "yeah, you look like a kitty." he says, laughing loudly when minho slaps his arm.
"shut up." minho mumbles, his small fingers fidgeting.
"it's a good thing, it's cute." seungmin responds.
minho blinks again, "you think i'm cute?" he asks tentatively.
and seungmin dies just a little.
"um- y-yeah i do.." he mumbles, his own face flushing as he admits it.
minho smiles a sweet, soft smile. "thank you seungmin. you're kinda cute too." he replies.
minho's hand comes up to ruffle seungmin's brown hair, "cute like a puppy." he adds.
seungmin chuckles, rolling his eyes fondly. "thanks kitty-hyung." he says, hand moving to rest on minho's knee.
minho tenses briefly, looking down slowly.
seungmin sputters, removing his hand quickly. "i'm sorry, i did that subconsciously." he immediately apologizes.
minho grabs his hand and places it back onto his knee. "s'okay, just wasn't expecting it. you can keep it there if you want...physical touch isn't really a big deal to me." he replies, smiling gently.
seungmin finds himself smiling too, "really? not gonna lie, you seem like the type to hate it."
minho shrugs, "don't hate it, just need to be comfortable first. it's more of me not being the best with touching others, but even that's not too bad for me. if we are comfortable with each other than touch isn't that bad." he explains.
seungmin nods along, cheeks flushing at the thought that minho is comfortable with him. "yeah, i get that." he replies.
minho hums, "what about you?" he asks, attention already focused on seungmin's lips.
seungmin doesn't need a lot of time to think about the question. "i don't really care at all, even if it is someone i don't really know well, touch doesn't bother me at all." he replies honestly.
minho listens till the end, "hmm, yeah that seems expected for you."
seungmin is about to respond when jisung cuts him off, "minho! want a drink?!" as asks loudly.
minho blinks a few times, attention not on jisung at all. "what're you looking at?" he asks, head cocked to the side.
seungmin turns his attention back to him, blinking a few times himself. "um- jisung is asking if you want a drink.." he mumbles, pointing behind minho.
minho blinks again, ears flushing, almost as if he was embarrassed. "oh- s-sorry.." he mumbles, turning around to look at jisung. "i'm okay, i-i have to go." he stands quickly, hurriedly moving to the door.
seungmin frowns to himself, feeling very confused. he stands as well and moves to minho.
"minho?" he asks, calling out to the boy in front of him.
minho is in the middle of putting on his shoes and doesn't reply at all.
"minho." he calls out louder.
he doesn't get a response.
when minho's done putting on his shoes he looks up and jumps at seungmin's presence, almost like he didn't know he was there at all.
"minho, are you okay?" he asks.
minho shakes his head, "i wanna go home now, i'll see you later puppy.." he mumbles before opening the door and stepping out.
seungmin is left there highly confused by the whole situation. when the others ask what happened, he tells them that he doesn't even know himself.
-
minho and seungmin don't ever talk about what happened that day and that's okay.
seungmin reframes from bringing it up because he can tell that it's a sensitive subject. so he stays quiet.
changbin had recently brought up going on a trip to his family's beach house because he thought it would be fun for the whole group to do together.
seungmin was immediately down with the idea because it sounded like fun and everyone else was already going.
well everyone but minho. "i can't swim.." he confessed when they asked why he didn't want to go.
seungmin had placed his hand on minho's thigh under the table to reassure him quietly. this was a new development to their friendship, soft touches where no one could see. he started doing this when he noticed it worked well for calming minho down when his anxiety was high.
"that's alright minho-yah. you don't need to get in the water at all if you're not comfortable with it." chan had said to minho.
seungmin realized then that minho and chan have a very good friendship. he likes that minho has such a good friend.
minho eventually agreed to going and seungmin is absolutely stoked with the news.
-
the whole planning thing was all three weeks ago now and currently everyone was filling out into 2 different cars so they can head to the place.
the first car had chan driving while seungmin was in the passengers seat, jisung and hyunjin in the back seats.
changbin was driving the second car, minho in the passenger seat while felix and jeongin were in the back together.
"so, what's up with you and minho?" chan immediately asks when the car starts moving.
seungmin chuckles, "you're far from subtle hyung." he replies.
chan laughs himself, flushing red. "sorry, didn't mean to come off so strong but i am genuinely curious." he says, attention on the road.
seungmin shrugs, "i like him, a lot." he confesses honestly. he doesn't feel the need to hide it from chan.
chan smiles knowingly, "figured." he comments.
seungmin hums, "yeah, i do. but i like where him and i are right now. don't really wanna ruin what we already have." he mumbles, subconsciously fiddling with his seat belt.
chan nods, "that's a natural fear, but instead of worrying about that you should start thinking about how much more you guys could have." his hands are steady on the wheel, turning the corner when he's supposed to.
seungmin has thought about that before, he's thought about the fact that he and minho could have more if he just confessed. "just wanna know him a little more." seungmin chooses to say.
"that makes sense too. i'll just let you know that i can tell he likes you too." chan says with a little smirk.
seungmin smiles, face turning red.
"minho does have some struggles but he's a good kid."
seungmin laughs, "kid? he's only a year younger than you." he says.
chan chuckles, "yeah, but i see him as my kid, i see all of you my kids."
seungmin hums. chan's sweet.
"don't get all sappy on me old man." seungmin replies teasingly.
chan gives him his usual dimpled smile, "as i was saying," he starts, dragging out the last syllable. "minho has his own issues. when he gets close with someone he tends to get attached to them, which isn't a bad thing but it can get pretty bad at times." he says.
seungmin hums thoughtfully, paying attention to every single word that leaves chan's mouth. "so minho has separation anxiety?" he asks.
chan nods, "essentially yeah, mainly just issues with separation from the people he loves and cares about. that's a big part of why he doesn't let many people into his life."
seungmin smiles softly, he likes the fact that minho let him into his life and allowed himself to get close to him.
"if you ever have questions about him being deaf than you should just ask him about it. it takes him a while to communicate his feelings but i promise with time he'll tell you." chan says nonchalantly.
and seungmin was nodding along until he heard something unfamiliar. deaf? minho was deaf?
"minho is deaf?" he asks, completely baffled.
"minho-hyung is deaf?!" jisung and hyunjin shout in unison from the back seat.
chan nods slowly, "h-he's hasn't told you guys?" he mumbles, sounding equally as shocked.
seungmin shakes his head, "no, he's never ever mentioned that." he replies, eyebrows furrowed.
chan clears his throat, "fuck minho...well, yes he is deaf, or rather hard of hearing." he mutters.
seungmin nods, thinking about it for a while. "now that i think about it...that actually makes so much sense. i was always wondering why he stared at my lips when we talk.." he recalls.
chan hums, "yeah, he's quite good at lip reading. like i said, if you have any questions about it you should ask him." he says, "it's not my place to say more about it."
seungmin nods but doesn't reply. he spends the rest of the trip silent, just thinking about minho, minho, minho.
...
when they arrive to the beach house seungmin immediately goes up to minho.
minho flashes him a bunny-toothed smile, "hi seungmin, how was the car ride?" he greets, lisp prominent in his voice.
the lisp. god- that combined with everything else should've explained it from the beginning. seungmin feels dumb.
seungmin smiles back, "hi hyung, it was good. um- can we talk later?" he asks, scratching the back of his neck.
minho blinks a few times, "yeah, is everything alright?" he asks, shifting awkwardly.
seungmin hums, "everything's alright hyung, just wanna talk about something." he says.
minho nods, moving to get his bag from the car. "alright then, sure."
...
about an hour later they all start to unpack their bags, moving things around to get more comfortable in the unfamiliar house.
they had planned to be there for about 3 weeks, so everyone was trying to make the place feel more like home.
minho was in the kitchen because everyone, (mainly jisung), was complaining about how hungry they were. so minho took on the task of cooking for everyone.
did seungmin ever mention that minho was a phenomenal cook?
"puppy!" minho calls from the kitchen.
seungmin smiles to himself, walking out of the little room he is sharing with minho. "yes kitty-hyung?" he says while walking up to minho.
minho flushes pink but ignores the nickname. "what do you want me to make? jisung was whining about being hungry but didn't give me any ideas for meals." he mumbles, washing his hands at the sink.
seungmin laughs, coming up behind minho so he can wrap an arm around his waist. he only responds when minho turns around from shock, "can you make something with eggs?" he asks innocently.
minho eyes him up and down a few times before squinting his eyes, "what're you doing puppy?" he mumbles, ears dusting red.
seungmin giggles, "no one's here, don't worry." he reassures. seungmin only gets touchy like this whenever it's just him and minho alone. it feels better that way.
minho nods, "sure, i'll make something with eggs." he replies, pushing seungmin lightly so he can get to the fridge.
seungmin thanks him and moves to sit at the bar in front of the kitchen, "can we talk now?" he asks when minho looks up at him.
minho blinks a few times before nodding, "go ahead." he mumbles, motioning for seungmin to continue.
seungmin licks his lips, suddenly nervous. "um- hyung...you don't need to answer if you don't want to but uh- are you really deaf..?" he asks carefully.
minho's eyes go wide briefly before he sighs, "h-how did you-"
seungmin cuts him off, "chan-hyung told me on the way here. he thought you already had told me." he replies, biting the inside of his cheek.
minho nods slowly, "oh- w-well yeah i am. more so hard of hearing because i can hear just not super well.." he mutters.
seungmin smiles softly at hearing the news. "thank you for telling me hyung." he replies, hoping that minho isn't uncomfortable.
minho flushes pink, "y-yeah of course." he mumbles, "um- if you have any questions you can ask them."
seungmin nods his head, "is that why you left the party a few weeks ago, after jisung called you and you didn't hear him?" he asks. it had been a huge question in his mind for a while.
minho presses his lips into a thin line, "yeah, i-i just got embarrassed and wanted to be at home. sometimes i feel like i can hear better than other days but maybe that's just in my head, either way i didn't pick up jisung's voice well in that moment." he answers, shifting a little.
seungmin gives him a small grin, "it's okay hyung." he reassures, not wanting minho to feel awkward. "that's why you dance without shoes right?" he asks, recalling the memories of him dancing with his shoes off.
minho nods, "yup." he replies, popping the 'p'.
"were you born hard of hearing?" seungmin asks, hoping that the question doesn't sound rude.
if it was rude, minho doesn't say anything about it. "not necessarily, my hearing was always kind of bad but it got to where it is now when i was 18. i practiced lip reading my whole life so that's why i am good at it." he explains, fingers playing with the end of the cutting board.
seungmin nods along, "d'you have hearing aids?"
"i did have some, but i lost them." minho replies, a little frown on his face.
seungmin frowns as well, "oh, i'm sorry."
minho shrugs, "it's alright, just sucks because they're like really expensive." he says with a small chuckle.
"when did you lose them?"
"few weeks ago."
seungmin furrows his brow, "oh, i never saw you use them before." he mumbles, trying to recall if he had ever seen them.
minho giggles, "yeah, i didn't use them often. only when i needed too."
seungmin hums, "makes sense."
minho nods, looking around for a brief moment. "was that all..?" he asks tentatively when seungmin doesn't say anything.
seungmin senses the awkwardness in the air. he quickly smiles, "yeah, that's all. thank you for telling me again, hyung."
minho flushes, clearing his throat. "yeah, t-thank you for listening." he mumbles, quickly down casting his attention to cutting up vegetables.
seungmin knows that that means minho just wants to have some time alone now, so he decides that it's best to take his leave.
-
after having a late dinner, seungmin and minho decide to go lay down early, feeling sleepy from the long ride here.
seungmin lets minho have the small twin sized bed while he sleeps on the floor.
he thinks minho deserves it.
minho had tried to argue about how he could sleep on the floor instead but seungmin denied him. "you made a delicious dinner, you take the bed." seungmin had said.
the night was peaceful. seungmin was doing his usual nighttime journaling while minho was silently sleeping in bed.
but seungmin senses something's wrong when he hears soft cries coming from the direction minho was in.
he slowly places his journal down and sits up, looking over at minho.
he stands up and makes a move to walk towards him.
"a-are you leaving?" minho asks wetly, harshly wiping at his face, his breath coming out in short pants.
seungmin wants to kiss his pretty face.
"no, no, i'm not leaving." he mumbles, sitting back down on the little pallet he made for himself.
"good, please don't go.."
and those four words make seungmin recall his conversation with chan from earlier. minho has separation issues.
seungmin frowns, heart breaking at the sight of tears silently falling down minho's flushed cheeks. "i won't leave, i swear." he promises.
minho is looking directly at him. of course he is, he has to so he knows what seungmin's saying.
"sorry.." minho mutters, sniffling softly.
seungmin shakes his head, "no, don't ever apologize for crying. just- are you okay?"
minho nods, "y-yeah...i just-.." he trails off, not finishing his sentence.
"you just what?" seungmin pushes, desperate to find out what was wrong with his minho.
wait- no, not his minho. minho was not his.
"s'embarrassing.." minho slurs, lisp sounding more prominent, likely because of his crying.
"it's not embarrassing, not if it's making you cry." he reassures.
"uhm- j-just had a bad dream.." minho says, sitting up and running a hand through his unruly hair.
oh.
a bad dream that makes you cry this hard seems kinda serious in seungmin's humble opinion.
"please say something.." minho mumbles. "i-i need to know that i am not alone.."
seungmin clears his throat, "sorry, just- a dream that makes you cry sounds terrible."
minho hums, "yeah, uhm- i kinda have them often so sometimes i'm used to it but other times it's just too much." he explains, hands fidgeting.
seungmin doesn't really know how to reply without sounding like a fucking therapist, he doesn't think minho needs that right now.
"i'm sorry, that sounds awful." he decides to say instead.
minho bites his lip, "yeah, 's not the best." he mumbles.
seungmin stays quiet.
minho blinks, "uhm- y-you can come up here if you want.." he says, looking desperate.
seungmin decides then and there that he'd never deny minho of anything.
is that embarrassing?
if it is, he doesn't care. he climbs onto the bed and watches as minho lays down in front of him. seungmin follows, laying down in front of minho as well, the two of them facing each other.
minho is the one to break the awkward silence, "i wish i had my hearing aids.." he mumbles, lisp lacing his voice.
seungmin blinks, slightly confused by the words coming from minho's pretty mouth. "yeah? but you said you didn't like to wear them?" he questions.
he finds himself starstruck when minho lets out a breathy giggle.
"yeah, i did- but i really wanna hear your voice." minho replies honestly, cheeks flaring red in the soft light of the moon coming through the curtains.
seungmin feels himself blush too. the prettiest guy he's ever seen in his life wants to hear his voice? it's shocking.
"s' nothing special.." seungmin mumbles.
minho laughs again, "still. i bet its perfect anyway. i can tell it would be by the vibrations your tone gives off when you raise your voice." he explains softly.
"well, hopefully you'll find them then." seungmin tucks some of minho's long hair behind his ear.
minho bites his lip shyly, the newly exposed ear flushing a soft pink. "hopefully..." he whispers.
now they're just left staring at each other, eyes focused on one another.
the air in the room feels heavy when seungmin's eyes dart down to minho lips then back up to his eyes. minho sucks in a breath, seungmin doing the same.
seungmin finds himself moving closer to minho. their faces are now only inches apart, one wrong move and they'd be kissing.
seungmin doesn't think he'd mind it much.
he's never really liked kissing. all the people he's been with before were never really that attractive to him. but this is very different because he is so attracted to minho that it burns.
he thinks that kissing minho would be a euphoric experience.
seungmin decides to give into the burning urge. "can i kiss you?" he asks, holding minho closer.
minho gasps, face flushing dark red. "i-i never..." he trails off.
"that's okay, we don't have to do anything." seungmin squeezes his hip lightly, hoping he didn't make minho uncomfortable.
minho blinks, "no, no, i was just- i was just letting you know..that i never did anything like that before." he subconsciously scoots even closer to seungmin.
"oh- well, i don't mind. if you want to we can."
minho hums, bitting his lip. "have you ever done stuff like this?"
seungmin nods, "yeah, a few times, but it never meant anything to me."
"does this..?"
the question rocks seungmin's whole world.
yes, it does.
"yes, it does." seungmin voices simply.
minho gasps softly, cheeks growing a deeper red.
minho licks his lips, "...can we?" he mumbles, voice so small that it physically hurts seungmin.
seungmin sits up, propped up on his elbow, "do you want to? you don't have to just because i asked." he reassures carefully.
minho sits up too, sitting 'criss-cross apple sauce' in front of seungmin. "i want to. if my first kiss is going to be with anyone, i want it to be with you."
seungmin feels his heart flutter.
he swallows, "okay.."
seungmin sits up fully, gently placing a hand on the nape of minho's neck, pulling him closer.
"just pull away if you want to stop, or need a breath. okay?"
minho nods, eyes fluttering shut when seungmin gets closer.
seungmin is the one to close the gap, softly kissing minho's plump lips. god, he's thought about this for so long.
he feels like he could die.
he is finally kissing the most beautiful person he's ever seen.
minho gasps into the kiss, hands fidgeting in his lap.
minho kisses back slowly, trying to pick up on the subtle rhythm seungmin had started.
seungmin's lips are heavenly.
he's so skilled at this.
it's minho who pulls away first, cheeks so red he can practically feel the heat radiating from them.
"was that okay?" seungmin asks because he's just kind like that.
he's always so aware. and when he isn't sure about something, he asks.
minho admires that.
minho nods, "yes, uhm- i don't know what to do with me hands though.." he mumbles, looking rather bashful.
seungmin finds it adorable.
he smiles, "you can do whatever with them."
minho bites his lip, "like what though?"
seungmin blinks, "um- you can put them in my hair if you want, or you could do what i'm doing. if you want to you can wrap your arms around my neck too."
minho hums, lacing his arms around seungmin's neck slowly, the position sort of awkward since their knees are in the way.
seungmin holds minho's waist tightly, "here, you can get in my lap." he says, pulling minho onto his lap.
minho squeaks, gently wrapping his legs around seungmin's hips, arms still laced around his neck.
"is this okay?" seungmin asks.
minho blinks rapidly, "uh- y-yeah...this is good." he whispers.
"are you sure?" he asks, holding minho's waist firmly.
"yes. please kiss me."
and how could seungmin possibly say no to that?
"gladly."
he locks his lips with minho's again, pace quicker this time, still slow but more intimate.
minho grips onto seungmin's shirt tightly, long eyelashes fluttering against seungmin's cheek.
seungmin keeps minho close with one hand on his waist, the other coming up to lightly rub at the nape of minho's neck.
minho lets a little whine slip into the kiss, immediately pulling away, face flushed and eyes blown wide as if he was startled.
"did i make that noise?" he asks dumbly.
seungmin chuckles, the sound light and airy. "yeah, think so." he muses.
minho blinks, hiding his face into his hands.
seungmin giggles, lifting up minho's face with his hand. "no, no, don't be embarrassed! it was cute!" he reassures. "i'd love to hear it again."
"shut up, shut up!"
"c'mon hyung, it's not that bad...besides i can just make you do it again.." seungmin teases.
minho blinks at him, "h-how so?"
"will you let me..?"
minho nods, "yes. y-you can do whatever you want to me." he whispers.
and seungmin flushes at the words. he really can't think about the weight those words carry or what they imply right now.
"good to know." he mumbles before moving forward, sucking lightly on the skin of minho's pale neck.
minho shudders, a breathy moan leaving his lips.
he immediately slaps a hand over his mouth, apparently still feeling embarrassed about making noise.
seungmin can't possibly have that.
he pulls away, looking into minho's eyes. "don't do that, let me hear you." he says, holding minho's waist tighter.
minho nods, his hand falling away from his mouth. "o-okay.." he mumbles.
seungmin smirks, going back to leaving splotches of red and purple around the column of minho's pretty neck.
and minho must be sensitive there, if the little whimpers he lets out are anything to go by.
he eventually pulls away, minho being a flustered mess when their eyes lock on one another's again.
"how was that?" seungmin asks, though the answer is fairly clear.
"uhm- good. really good." minho says, eyes still slightly dazed.
seungmin smiles, pecking minho's lips softly. "do you feel any better?" he asks.
minho smiles lightly, "y-yeah, i feel better. thank you seungminnie." he mumbles, holding onto seungmin tighter.
seungminnie. hearing the nickname from minho makes his heart flutter.
he decides not to tease minho about it right now. "i'm glad. are you tired?"
minho hums, "yes. very." he states, voice suddenly laced with sleep.
seungmin can't help but coo at him, "you are so beautiful, you know that right?"
minho blinks a few times, ears burning red. "stop.." he whines.
"you are! i mean it!" seungmin protests, cupping minho's face in his hands.
and minho is an absolute sight up close, long eyelashes and big boba eyes. he is absolutely magnificent.
"okay, okay, thank you. i-i appreciate that. i think you're beautiful too." minho mumbles, avoiding eye contact.
seungmin brings minho's face towards his own with a delicate hand on minho's chin, "thank you, minho." he says, kissing minho slowly.
minho kisses back, eyelids fluttering shut.
seungmin pulls away first, "let's sleep yeah? we can talk about everything tomorrow." he says, fingers lightly brushing over the hickeys on minho's neck.
minho hisses at the feeling, nodding wordlessly.
seungmin ends up spooning minho from behind, one arm wrapped tightly around minho's waist, chin resting on top of minho's head.
minho really must've been tired because he falls asleep almost immediately, soft snores leaving his pouty lips.
the sight is adorable.
seungmin falls asleep not long after, completely drowning in minho's familiar scent.
-
seungmin wakes up to bright sun shining in through the open curtains, he scrunches his face.
seungmin groans, rubbing at his eyes.
he has his arms full of minho, who now has his face buried deep into seungmin's chest.
seungmin smiles softly, mind running around the memories of last night.
he had finally kissed minho, and now he finally has him in his hold.
it's fucking mind blowing.
as much as he would love to stay here and cuddle minho, he really has a to use the bathroom and freshen up for the day.
so he reluctantly pulls himself away from minho, slowly getting up so he doesn't disturb the older from his sleep.
he brushes his teeth and combs through his hair, quickly splashing his face with cold water to get rid of the puffiness on his face.
when he walks out of the bathroom he's met with han jisung.
"morning hannie." he says, smiling softly.
jisung squints at him, "you look awfully happy." he mumbles, “it’s weird, i don’t like it.”
seungmin scoffs, "no, i don't. shut your mouth." he dismisses, walking into the living room.
he blinks at the sight of everyone crowding around the room he and minho shared last night.
"uhm- what are you guys doing?" he asks, walking into the room.
hyunjin pouts at him, "everyone is scared shitless to wake up minho-hyung because apparently he is a grump when he wakes up." he whines.
"he is!" jeongin yells, “trust me, it’s not pretty!”
chan smiles, "minnie, you should give it a go." he says with a nudge of his elbow.
seungmin cocks a brow, "me? why me?"
"minho-hyung likes you!" jisung shouts.
seungmin flushes, rolling his eyes to distract from his pink cheeks.
"fine." he mutters, walking over to the side of the bed.
he crouches down so he’s on level with minho. he finds himself smiling at his pretty face.
seungmin softly shakes minho's shoulder, gently brushing his hand on minho's cheek.
"what the-" minho grumbles.
the others in the room immediately hold their breath, ready to feel the ralf of a grumpy lee minho. but it never comes? minho blinks rapidly, immediately cutting of his sentence when he sees seungmin.
"oh- g'morning puppy.." he slurs, sitting up and leaning against seungmin side.
"WHAT?!" jisung and hyunjin yell in unison.
god, those two have been spending way to much time together.
"jeonginnie, you said he's a grump in the mornings!" hyunjin shouts toward jeongin.
jeongin shrugs, "he usually is, he must really like seungminnie." he teases.
seungmin pointedly ignores all of them, keeping his attention on minho.
"it's time to get up kitty-hyung.." he whispers softly.
minho nods, rubbing his face with two tiny fists.
seungmin stands and lets minho go into the bathroom to properly freshen himself up.
"good work minnie." chan muses, ruffling up seungmin's hair.
seungmin bats his hand away, "i hardly did anything.." he mumbles, running a hand through his hair.
"seungie! can you please go to the convenience store around the block!" jisung whines, hooking himself on seungmin's back.
seungmin groans, "anything to get away from you.." he mutters, unhooking jisung from himself.
jisung beams at him, "thank you seungmin!" he coos.
seungmin only rolls his eyes, taking the grocery list from hyunjin's hand as he lazily puts on his shoes.
this is going to be a busy morning, seungmin can tell.
...
when minho walks out of the bathroom he expects to seungmin but instead he's met with an empty room.
he sighs, walking out into the kitchen.
"morning minho-yah." chan greets happily.
minho eyes his lips and smiles, "morning channie. where is seung?" he immediately asks, a little frown forming on his face.
everyone eyes each other knowingly, minho chooses to ignore them.
"he's at the convenience store, he'll be back soon." changbin tells minho sweetly.
minho pouts, "okay." he says shortly, moving to sit on the chair by the door.
as if on queue seungmin walks through the door, a little brown bag in his hand.
minho smiles, wrapping his arms around seungmin’s neck. "missed you.." he whispers.
seungmin feels his heart flutter.
god, this boy will be the death of him.
he wraps an arm around minho's waist, "missed you too, hyung." he mumbles, smiling softly.
"erm...what is happening?!" jisung hollers.
minho turns his attention to jisung when seungmin rolls his eyes in that direction, "mind your business hannie." seungmin says.
seungmin makes his way into the kitchen, minho in toe behind him.
he follows seungmin around the kitchen before he suddenly stops in his tracks.
seungmin eyes him suspiciously, "you okay?" he asks, a small chuckle leaving his lips.
minho bites his lip shyly, "just- sorry if i'm annoying you.." he mumbles.
seungmin blinks, "no, you're definitely not. why would you think that?" he frowns.
minho blinks a few times as well, "i dunno- i'm just like following you around..." he shifts on his heels.
seungmin finds himself smiling, stepping closer to minho. "wherever i'm going, i'm happy you're coming with me." he muses, tucking some of minho’s long bangs behind his flushed ear.
minho gapes at him, "oh-" he mumbles dumbly.
seungmin giggles, "hey, do you think you'd want to be my boyfriend?" he asks nonchalantly. he knows that he’s supposed to do something more extravagant, but that’s really not his style. he hopes that this good.
minho immediately flushes darker, ears burning red. "uh- i-i mean...yes. yes, i would love to be your boyfriend." he mumbles, smiling softly.
seungmin grins, "perfect. i'll take you on a real date when we leave here, yeah?"
minho nods, giggling cutely.
and seungmin really can't help himself, he leans in, slowly connecting his lips with minho's soft ones.
minho gasps quietly, getting on his tiny toes so their heights match more comfortably.
minho gently laces his arms around seungmin's neck.
this kiss is sadly cut short by a high-pitched screech of, “when did this happen?!"
seungmin pulls away with a loud giggle.
-
4 weeks later~
seungmin has a surprise.
a surprise that took 2 weeks to get here, and costed him a pretty penny.
but none of that matters. he did it because he wanted to.
he walks into minho's dorm room quietly, quickly taking off his shoes.
minho is in the kitchen, likely cooking something for an early dinner.
seungmin walks up behind him, wrapping an arm around his waist.
minho jumps, turning around to glare at seungmin. “jesus, you scared me." he mumbles, hand clutching his chest dramatically.
seungmin kisses him gently, "sorry baby." he muses, running a hand through minho’s hair.
and minho really can't stay mad for long.
"what's behind your back?" minho asks, eyeing seungmin suspiciously.
seungmin smiles, "i got you these." he says, holding out a new pair of hearing aids.
minho's eyes widen, "seungmin..." he whispers, blinking rapidly.
"you never found your old pair so i raised some money to get you these." seungmin explains, placing them in minho's small palm.
"y-you really didn't need to..."
"i know, but i wanted to." seungmin says with a puppy-like smile.
minho throws his arms around seungmin’s shoulders, burying his face in his neck. "thank you seung, really. i appreciate this so much.."
seungmin holds him in a warm hug, only speaking when minho pulls away. "of course. i'm happy you appreciate it." he coos, kissing minho's lips gently.
minho pulls away first, carefully putting his new hearing aids on.
"are they okay?" seungmin asks, his hands coming down to hold minho’s waist.
minho gasps sharply, likely at the sound of hearing seungmin's voice so clear. "oh my god..." he whispers, eyes welling up with tears.
seungmin gives him a soft smile, "is it everything you thought it would be?" he teases.
minho laughs wetly, "yes, it's perfect.." he mutters, moving to kiss seungmin again.
...
a few hours later minho is curled up into seungmin's side, a random drama playing on the tv as background noise.
minho is still wearing his hearing aids, face pressed into seungmin's chest.
seungmin looks over at minho, smiling when he notices that he's falling in and out of sleep, his lips pouty.
"baby, can you sleep with those on?" he asks, brushing the hair away from minho's face.
minho sleepily shakes his head, "no, but i’m too lazy.." he slurs, voice thick with sleep.
seungmin giggles, reaching over to gently remove the hearing aids from minho's ears. he places them into their designated place.
"thank you seung.." minho mutters, sitting up to pout his lips for a kiss.
seungmin happily kisses him. "of course baby.." he whispers against his lips.
minho flushes, thunking his head back onto seungmin's chest.
it's quiet for a while, seungmin thinks that minho is asleep until he hears a quiet voice mumble, "i love you..”
seungmin smiles to himself, holding minho even closer.
he doesn't think anything can get more perfect than this.
god, does he love lee minho.
