Manhattan, New York. December 25th, 2026. Soobin and Beomgyu had been a long distance couple up until a month ago, making this their first christmas together, in person.
Soobin and Beomgyu were walking hand in hand, on their way home from Bryant Park’s Christmas Village. They’d recently signed a lease on an apartment on West 24th street, having moved in not too long ago.
Soobin was a Brooklyn native, Beomgyu from downtown Chicago. Even though Beomgyu had lived in a major city all his life, living in the New York seemed a dream so far off. Beomgyu never thought he’d ever be anything more than a tourist, but here he was. And being in New York with the love of his life was the cherry on top.
“How was it?” Soobin fiddles with Beomgyu’s fingertips, doing his best to keep up with Beomgyu’s walking pace.
“It feels like everything I could’ve dreamed of Soobinie! I’ve never seen anything like it- Chicago is never this pretty during winter,” Beomgyu marveled, letting go of Soobin's hand to run and kick the snow. slowly, he turned to face Soobin, waiting for him to catch up. Beomgyu smiled brightly, the smile that he knows is Soobin’s absolute favorite.
Soobin picked up his feet and caught up to Beomgyu, slithering his arms around the smaller male’s waist. They happened to be under a lamp post, shining a light on Beomgyu’s features. From his dark brown eyes, all the way to the mole next to his lip. It felt like thirty minutes had passed with Soobin staring, until Beomgyu started to snicker, quickly waking Soobin up.
“I know I’m pretty, but you can admire it at home as much as you can here,”
Beomgyu leaned in and pecked Soobin on the cheek.
A couple of seconds pass before Soobin uses one of his hands to grab Beomgyu’s scarf, pulling him into a passionate kiss. “That doesn’t mean I don’t want to kiss you outside,” he retorts, kissing Beomgyu’s mole.
Beomgyu shade shifts to a bright red, a combination of the cold temperature and the effect of Soobin’s words. He whines and puts a cover over Soobin’s mouth, but Soobin just licks his palm. Beomgyu yelps and wipes his hand on his jacket.

Soobin and Beomgyu make it home safely, the journey elongated with spontaneous kisses and the occasional snowball fights.
“Help?” Beomgyu spreads his arms out, motioning for Soobin to take off his winter clothes. Soobin pretends to roll his eyes.
Beomgyu pouts, flapping his arms and flashing those infamous puppy eyes. Soobin sighs.
Soobin kisses Beomgyu’s cheek, proceeding to untie his scarf and unbutton his jacket. Eventually, he places both their jackets on the hanger.

The two males are snuggling on the couch under a blanket, drunk off each other’s warmth.
“Do you want to shower baby? We can go together if you’re a bit sleepy," Soobin pushes stray strands of hair out of Beomgyu’s face, behind his ear.
Beomgyu, on the brink of passing out, nuzzles into soobin’s neck and utters a small “Mhm”. Soobin holds Beomgyu’s hair back and plants a kiss on his forehead, carrying him princess style to the bedroom.
Soobin makes his way to the bathroom with Beomgyu in one arm, their matching pajamas in the other. He places the younger male on the counter, making him whine at the loss of contact. Beomgyu quickly stops when Soobin comes to undress him.
“You can’t handle my attention being on something else for one second?” Soobin teases.
Beomgyu shakes his head quickly, “Need to make up for all the attention you couldn’t give me before,”
Soobin pulls Beomgyu’s sweater over his head, and strips him of his undergarments.
Beomgyu tugs at the bottom of Soobin’s shirt, before pulling it off for him.

After the two are undressed and the water is hot enough, Soobin helps Beomgyu off the counter and leads him into the shower.
Soobin hugs Beomgyu from behind, kissing his neck a little.
“Is it warm enough baby?” Soobin questions, soaking Beomgyus hair with water evenly. Beomgyu nods and leans into his Soobin’s touch.
Soobin focuses on lathering Beomgyus hair with shampoo, scratching his scalp in a way that makes Beomgyu sleepier.
Soon enough, they are both cleaned and soobin dries a sleepy Beomgyu off with a towel. He dresses Beomgyu first, then himself before escorting the smaller male to the bed, princess style once more.
Beomgyu opens his eyes slowly, scooting closer to Soobin on their queen sized bed. Soobin’s arms automatically wrap around Beomgyu’s waist, and Beomgyu presses his hands against soobins chest.
“Are you real?,” Beomgyu whispers, playing with the fabric of Soobin’s shirt.
“Am I real Beommie? Or are you dreaming?” Soobin chuckles, planting another kiss on Beomgyu’s forehead.
Beomgyu smiles and buries his face in Soobin’s chest.
Soobin pulls beomgyu’s face out of his chest, “I told you we’d make it baby, all of those years waiting were worth it.”
He kisses the side of Beomgyu’s lips, moving down to his jaw.
Beomgyu giggles and clings to Soobin, “Stopppp- that tickles,”
Soobin pulls away from Beomgyu’s neck and kisses his lips, finally.
“Your lips are so soft,” he whispers against them, prompting Beomgyu to squeak.
When Soobin pulls away from Beomgyu, Beomgyu is staring into his eyes with complete awe.
“How do you do this so casually? Kissing me you’ve studied my lips beforehand...” Beomgyu asks, his face comparable to a tomato.
Soobin laughs, “Maybe I have been since the day we met. You can't tell how nervous I am right now, can you?” He says before burying his face into the side of Beomgyu’s neck.
Eventually, Soobin pulls away, staring at a dozy Beomgyu. “You wanna sleep princess? it's been a long day.”
Soobin rubs Beomgyu’s back, and Beomgyu only nods in response, burying himself into Soobin’s chest again.
Soobin smiles, wrapping the blanket over Beomgyu and closing his eyes.
“I love you.” Beomgyu whispers.
“I love you more, princess.” Soobin whispers back, falling asleep.
