Just let us love you please?! (Namjoon x Jackson x Seokjin)

Untitled Part 2

Telling Namjoon had been an awkward affair, Mark had suggested that they should be caught making out in Jackson and Namjoon's shared room. That would make it so much more believable than them just telling him, it would also make up for them maybe being a little awkward.It led to Mark being their scout to message them when Namjoon was getting close, but leading up to it they sat on Jackson's bed they had at this point gotten over being awkward about talking to each other. Jackson against his will had to admit that Seokjin was a pretty cool dude, and he made good food something he had refused to acknowledge until they had started planning their fake dating.While yes they needed planning Seokjin was also getting closer to his exams and spend a lot of time in the kitchen perfecting his menu. Which had ended up with them planning with Jackson sitting on the counter taste tasting everything with Seokjin feeding him pieces of different food. At first, it had been awkward, they didn't have much in common other than Namjoon, but Seokjin's shitty dad jokes grew on him, and turned out both liked to spend time at the gym (because apparently, those shoulders weren't something he was born with, which did make Jackson feel a little better.)It still didn't mean that Seokjin didn't let out a fairly girly screech as Jackson grabbed the bottom of his shirt to pull it off. "What are you doing?!"Don't get him wrong, Seokjin had no issue showing off his body he put a lot of work into it, but he didn't feel that great about getting undressed by his romantic enemy. Jackson just shrugged. "The point of making out is foreplay, foreplay involves taking off your clothes. We want this to be believable right?""Why does it have to be me, though? Why can't you do it." Seokjin felt like a child going 'show me yours first' he had no idea why he felt so self-conscious around Jackson.Jackson just shrugged again and then pulled off his own shirt. "Now you, if we want to sell this we have to go all in."So yes... Jackson was... yes... yes he was. Seokjin forced himself to look away from Jackson's built upper body as he slowly started unbuttoning his own shirt- another reason pulling it up over his head was a bad idea. He felt awkward which Jackson just laughed at. "Who knew Kim Seokjin had the ability to be shy?"Seokjin did the least masculine thing he could do. He slapped Jackson on the arm, but fuck gender stereotypes, and then he just asked. "How do you want to do this?""I think easiest would be you on your back with me between your legs." Jackson threw it out like it was nothing. How was he so calm about this when Seokjin felt like he was having a mental breakdown over it."Shouldn't I be on top? I'm much taller than you and older."Jackson just laughed at him. "You really think you can top me, babe?" It was a pet name Jackson had taken to calling him in private, mostly because it frustrated Seokjin and always made him yell out 'we are not really dating!' "If you want to be on top I can agree to you straddling me."Seokjin had no comeback for that, which was terrible! He had always topped in every single relationship, but now in this not even real relationship, he was somehow the bottom! That wasn't right! Not that Seokjin saw being bottom as something to look down on, but it was like being told that he was suddenly a lion hybrid, it just wasn't right!He pouted for a second, before noticing what he had done, refusing to be cute! But it was already too late as the text from Mark came. Suddenly Seokjin found himself pushed on his back (carefully and softly somehow?!) and Jackson nipping at the formerly pouting lower lip. Leaving Seokjin having to somehow understand what the fuck was going on while the intense weight of the younger hummingbird was pressing down on his too-tight trousers. While he nipped his lower lip and lightly ran his hand over Seokjin's side, he rested his weight on the other.He didn't have time to react with more than a confused (and slightly turned on) little noise as the door opened and Namjoon came in with his face buried in his phone. "Jackson, you have to see this! It's sloths in a...", and then the panther hybrid's jaw fell open when he saw what was going on the room.Jackson tore himself away from Seokjin's surprisingly biteable lower lip to look at Namjoon. He didn't even need to pretend to be slightly turned on as he was sure that his pupils were completely blown out. "Ey Joonie"Namjoon opened and then closed his mouth, just to open it again and then close it. He stood and just stared at them almost disbelieving in what he saw in front of his eyes until Jaebum half ran into his back, confused why he was still standing there. "Baby? What's wrong."He then as well put his eyes on the two bird hybrids on the bed. "Oh damn I didn't see that coming, I owe Mark some serious money.""I thought you two hated each other?" Namjoon's voice was unsteady and confused like he didn't really believe his eyes and what was in front of him.Jackson licked his lips in a move Seokjin was almost convinced was practised in front of the mirror. Nobody is naturally that sexy. "Sorry I thought you would be out all day." He leaned down to lick a very very blushing Seokjin across the collarbone, how could Jackson do this without seeming the least bit awkward?It happened to be that making hot guys hot and bothered was something that luckily came naturally to Jackson. It wasn't like making out with Seokjin was hard, the man was hot even if Jackson wasn't in love with him like he was Namjoon. It wasn't like it was a big stretch, everybody enjoys a hot body under them, right? "Jackson, stop! They are watching!"Jackson looked up at Namjoon with the best set of bedroom eyes he could muster, and as expected, Namjoon was blushing, panther tail awkwardly draped to cover his eyes. Awww that was adorable, and his voice was unsteady. "We can leave and... uhm... give you time.""Nah it's fine, the mood is gone." Jackson had flopped himself down to lie next to Seokjin. "So how was your day?"Namjoon still looked a little confused like he couldn't really believe what was going on. Jaebum, on the other hand, seemed like he was enjoying this a little too much with a giant grin on his face. How did he not even see this is a threat. Namjoon was clearly not against the view of his two close friends topless, and Jaebum just acted like it was nothing! Jackson almost felt insulted by that.Things were a little weird after that. At first, Namjoon seemed a bit confused about what to do with them dating. And a little insulted that they had both hidden it from him and then came the opposite of what they wanted to happen. Instead of wanting to spend more time with them as they had planned and Mark had promised them would happen, Namjoon seemed to pull away from them. He tried to give them time for themselves, always saying. "You guys are together now, you probably don't want a third wheel hanging along!"They had to almost wrestle Namjoon to their weekly movie night. He was blushing the whole time sandwiched between the two males with their hands intertwined on Namjoon's stomach, it was so weird.The weirdest part for Seokjin was the one part he didn't see coming... he started actually enjoying spending time with Jackson. He started seeing Jackson as an actual person instead of just Jackson Wang, his mortal enemy in love. He learned to enjoy Jackson's weird sense of humour and never-ending energy. To keep up the image of the good boyfriend, he went to Jackson's fencing matches with Namjoon which lead to two things. Getting to spend more time with Namjoon alone, which were great and somehow actually cheering for Jackson without him forcing himself to.For Jackson, it was the same, he never thought he would actually enjoy the time that he spent with Seokjin. He always saw the other male as too stuck up, being a peacock hybrid he just automatically assumed that Seokjin was full of himself, but he learned another side of the older male. He learned of the hours he spent in front of a mirror to make sure that he stayed pretty. The hours in the gym to keep his body healthy, hours that Jackson started changing his own gym schedule around. He no longer had to depend on some random stranger to spot him, he had Seokjin to do it.The best part of being Seokjin's 'boyfriend' was the food without a doubt. Seokjin was amazing in it. He always had healthy homemade snacks with him at the gym, which he would share with Jackson. And after he learned that Jackson struggled with getting enough food down to support his hummingbird needs because he always forgot to eat, he would always give his leftovers to the hyperactive male, which was nice. In the end, Jackson and Seokjin actually become friends, and that was when Jackson noticed he had a problem... Seokjin was simply too hot.The worst part was that it was complicated. He had started having feeling for Seokjin, but his current feelings for Namjoon weren't going away; they were just as strong as always. His feelings for Seokjin was starting to evolve from just thinking he was hot as fuck, and Jackson didn't know how to deal with it.How do you deal with the fact that you are falling for the guy you are fake dating, but you are still in love with the guy you are trying to make jealous in the first place. He half groaned annoyingly into Namjoon's collarbone where he had been half napping. It was now at the end of spring as the warm weather took over Namjoon had taken to reading outside under the trees, which meant that Jackson went with him.At that moment, he had been lying next to Namjoon playing with the long black tail while he half slept. His head was on Namjoon's shoulder enjoying the familiar scent of Namjoon's apricot body wash which had more or less started to smell like home to Jackson. Namjoon looked down at Jackson cocking his head cutely to the side. "Is something wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice because Namjoon was nothing if not a concerned friend.Jackson let out another annoyed sigh. "It's nothing." His eyes were only half-open, and he thought for a second about going back to sleep, but the tail that Namjoon so rarely let him play with was so soft, and it was rare he got moments like that.Namjoon, of course, just drew his own conclusion. "I'm sure that Seokjin-hyung is going to stop being busy soon so you can spend more time together. I know he is trying his be to be quick so he can spend more time with you." He ran a soft hand through Jackson's bleached hair in a calming movement, and the soft tail wrapped itself around Jackson's wrist playfully.So okay that had been annoying Jackson as well. Seokjin had been so busy that he had rarely seen the older male, and Jackson was really starting to miss him as well, which was annoying! He had no right to miss Seokjin, and his stupidly handsome face and bad dad jokes. "Who is supposed to feed me when he isn't here?" Jackson pouted, and at that moment he wasn't sure if he was playing along or just meant it.Instead of teasing him for being a weirdo or telling him to actually learn to cook for himself, Namjoon just did a sigh of his own. "I understand."So that could mean two things, either Namjoon actually missed Seokjin which was progress, or he missed Jaebum who had seemed to be hanging around Namjoon less than usual. But then again it was the exam period which could be why. Jackson and Namjoon both had their exam early in the period. For Namjoon that involved a 7-hour math test that Namjoon looked like he had seen his own death after and for Jackson just his regular classes since his major was physical education. So for him, every day felt like an exam.That was when he saw something across the court was that... Jaebum? And then he sat up with a start. "What the fuck! Namjoon, your asshole of a boyfriend, is cheating on you!"Yup, that was Jaebum making out with somebody across the court. The problem was that Namjoon didn't even look phased he just smiled as he saw. "I didn't think it would work, aw that's adorable.""Excuse me what?" Jackson just asked, staring at Namjoon with big eyes as the younger hybrid went back to his book.Namjoon looked at him and then he facepalmed himself. "Oh, I forgot I never told you guys. I was never dating Jaebum. He just needed a fake boyfriend to make Mark realise that he loved him... Don't question the logic. I know it's really really stupid and makes no sense, but Jaebum really wanted to try it, and I made most sense apparently. Something about being soft and I was the closest to him. Even though he is a bird-like you and Seokjin. He is tiny like you and Bammie, and he is a visual like Seokjin. So personally it makes no sense to me, who would fake date somebody just to trick other people into loving them. Love is pure and real, and it doesn't need to be faked if it's there... It's there."Oh god... Oh god oh god oh god... Jackson fucked up, oh my god they fucked up. So Jackson just sat and stared at Namjoon while everything Namjoon said ran through his head. First of all, Jackson understood why Jaebum had picked Namjoon, it was because Mark and he were the same brand of softie. Somebody who should just be wrapped up in a blanket and cuddled until the end of time.Then there was the point that apparently Namjoon didn't have a boyfriend... like ever. "Why didn't you tell us?" Was the first thing Jackson could think of as a response.Namjoon just looked at him like the answer was obvious. "Because you overshare and you are close friends with Mark. It felt weird only telling Seokjin and not you it like I would be picking a side. Although you are now clearly on the same side."Jackson couldn't stop himself from pouting. "I don't!""Jackson this morning you spent 15 minutes telling me about that little swipe thing Seokjin does with his tongue when he is trying to check if your tonsils were still there." Oh god, Jackson had done that hadn't he, to his defence Seokjin did have a very amazing kissing technique. So yes maybe they had been practising without people there, but they needed to make sure that it looked real... Which was the excuse Namjoon went with.And then something hit Jackson. "He never kissed you on the lips! The cheeks, the forehead never the lips!" Why had he not thought that was weird.Namjoon again just looked at him like Jackson was the weirdo and not Namjoon who had been in a FAKE relationship. "Of course we didn't kiss really, we just used angles and then kissed other places. I was willing to be in a pretend relationship, but real kissing was too far to go. I'm not crazy."Oh, Jackson felt like Namjoon knew everything, and he was not approving of Jackson's method. Then again, he should have seen this coming. Frankly, both he and Seokjin should have seen this coming. Namjoon wasn't the type to just date somebody out of nowhere he would have wanted dates and time together first. He and Seokjin had been so blinded by somebody else trying to take what they loved, that they hadn't thought logically about it and they had easily gone with Mark's stupid idea. He and Jaebum clearly deserved each other because they both had the most ridiculous ideas."Don't you think it's kinda romantic how far Jaebum was ready to go for somebody he loved? Wouldn't you feel special if a guy was willing to go so far just to prove to you that he loved you?" Oh god he and Seokjin had fucked up, hadn't they?Namjoon cocked his head to the side in a thinking position. "No, I don't think so, I would be worried that he felt the need to lie to me. I would think that somebody who claimed to love me would be honest with me, isn't that love more than lying?" Namjoon asked it like he really meant it as a question, and that just made Jackson feel worse."Isn't it just a grand gesture, nothing more than saying that you have nothing planned and then having a surprise party?""Nobody gets hurt there, though. What if your fake partner ends up having feelings for you? What if the person you are chasing just gives up because they aren't a homewrecker. In most cases it wouldn't work out, this isn't some story on the internet Jackson this is real life, and in real life your actions have consequences, and sometimes that means you hurt people." Namjoon had now closed his book and had that facial expression he always had right after he got back from an extra credits philosophy lecture.Jackson knew that he had to be stopped or they would be discussing this for the next 3 hours until Jackson was so confused that he had no idea what they were even talking about anymore. "You are being a hypocrite, you helped Jaebum with the same thing.""I guess you are right on that, but the reason I helped Jaebum made up for the negatives. First of all, he promised to help me make flashcards, and he has already passed the class. Secondly, Mark is the kind of guy who thinks stuff like this is romantic, which yes is weird. And let's be honest, we all knew that they loved each other and Jaebum isn't my type, so there was little chance of anybody getting hurt."Jackson just felt more and more shit with every word Namjoon was saying, so he decided to let the topic go as he laid his head back down on Namjoon's shoulder to pretend to take another nap.He had a choice now. He either called it all off and confessed his feelings, or he kept this going. The thing was, he wasn't ready to give up this thing with Seokjin yet, but he wasn't prepared to give up Namjoon either. Fuck why did life have to be so complicated?
