NCT 127 Stories : One-Shot

Vampire Boyfriend: Jaemin x Jeno

Simple fluff for you to enjoy. Inspired by one of the episodes of Escape Room where Jaemin was the Vampire and Jeno was the werewolf.

Jeno looked around as wind swept through his room, rustling through his clothes, turning them from neat piles to jumbled mess on the floor, brushing past his face. He felt a hand on his shoulder as the wind kept swirling around. In the wind, he could see a blurred figure, causing his heart to thud.

Suddenly, everything stopped as he felt a hand on his face, soft and gentle, he recognised the touch before he even looked up to gaze into the almost black gaze of his boyfriend, "Jaemin?"

His throat dry, the next words stuck, he looked away, unable to form the words he wanted to say.

"I.." Jaemin rasped which made Jeno smile. He looked back at his boyfriend once again. This time, he saw the boy, the frown, the uncertainty and the sheer need, need to be told that this wouldn't come between them.

Jeno's heart raced at the unspoke words written across Jaemin's face. Somersaults, butterflies, elephants, whatever it was called, they were all there, screaming at him from the inside.

"I.." Jaemin started again, took a deep breath and his pupils dilated, Jeno felt his gaze zero in on the sight and suddenly Jaemin closed them, cutting him off. It hurt him, he didn't know why by Jaemin closing his eyes hurt him.

Jeno sat up in his place, pulled one leg out to stand when his boyfriend spoke again, "I didn't mean to scare you. I love you Jeno. You know that." the last part was almost a whisper as Jeno could hear his voice quiver.

"I was just... excited." he exhaled. Jeno hoped that he'd open his eyes but he didn't. Instead, he placed his fingers between his brows and rubbed as he always did to soothe his anger but Jeno knew today, he wasn't angry.

He stood, cautiously, and took a single step forward, barely a hand's distance away from his boyfriend. It is said that vampires don't have body heat, however he could feel every inch of his boyfriend in front of him, even though they weren't touching.

The tension between them was enough to make Jeno hesitate. He didn't reach out like he wanted to, instead, "Open your eyes."

He whispered and Jaemin opened his eyes, they were rimmed red instead of the usual soft brown that made Jeno want to hold his man close to him. This color, this made him look more, not just cuddly and sweet but mature and strong. If they got closer, something could happen and if it did, Jeno didn't know if he was up for it.

Despite the unfamiliar color, the tension in Jaemin's shoulder was comforting, something Jeno knew very well.

"I am not scared, but.." his throat was dry again, he searched for the right words.

"It's.." too much? He thought, "overwhelming."

Jaemin broke into a grin, all his teeth on display. For the first time, Jeno wondered, "Where are those pointed ones?" he bent down to peer up at his gums making Jaemin burst into laughter.

Jeno felt embarrassed slightly and would have gone red easily had a large part of him not been focusing on the happiness that addictively radiated.

Jaemin, snaked his arms around Jeno and Jeno stepped back. His foot caught at the end of the bed and they stumbled sideways.

"Ow." Jaemin squeaked as his elbow hit the wall.

Instinctively Jeno reached out and cupped the area, then he stopped and looked at Jaemin with a frown.

Jaemin smiled as if reading his mind, "Habit?" he shrugged with a pout. When Jeno removed his hand, Jaemin's elbow followed and mock glared at his boyfriend. Smiling, Jeno rubbed the part that had hit the wall. He knew Jaemin loved when he doted on him like this.

Jaemin pulled Jeno to the bed and sat beside him, "Now, about what you said earlier...." he trailed over with a smirk and Jeno simply smiled innocently.

"It was just the food in me talking. Besides, seeing how excited you got, I don't think you should get to hear it that often." He got up and walked away, opening the door to leave but Jaemin, free from the burden of lies, rushed to his boyfriend and jumped on his back.

"I'll cook. What do you want?"

"No. I am not hungry." Jeno shook his head, standing steady as to let Jaemin feel comfortable.

"You are. And I am making you your favourite."

"You just want to hear me say it again." Jeno walked to the kitchen, letting Jaemin hold his own weight.

"Yes," he whispered too close to Jeno's ear. Goosebumps rose all over his body and Jeno let his boyfriend down in the kitchen and turned to face him with an easy smile. He gripped his waist and pulled him close. He saw Jaemin's eyes flicker to his lips but he reached past and whispered in his ear, "I love you."

"I love you too." Jaemin hugged him with a smile.
