seven minutes in heaven | moonbae (18+ish at the beginning)

The bottle on the ground was in the hand of a hesitant Kevin. He didn't really wanna play the game at the time, but the guys had somehow convinced him to participate. He exhaled and spun the bottle. He nervously stared at the spinning object, not knowing what to expect. When it finally began to slow down, the hands that rest on his thighs began to curl. 

When it finally stopped, his eyes panned up to see who it had landed on. When he saw that it was Jacob, his heart stopped a little bit. He knew Jacob wasn't that comfortable doing these kinds of games, so he worried for him. The two members stood up and walked to the closet where the game took place.

Hyunjae chuckled, "We're gonna time you, but take as much time as you'd like."

The doors closed and Kevin could barely make eye contact with the other boy. Jacob seemed to have the same awkward feeling.

Kevin took a deep breath and spoke rushedly, "Hey, I know you don't like these sorts of games, and I don't wanna force you to do anything you would regret or not like, but because the guys expect us to do things, I don't know how they would react if they found out we didn't do any-"

Kevin was cut off by the touch of a hand on his face. He looked up at the older boy, seeing a soft smile on his face.

"You're panicking again," Jacob said sweetly, caressing his face with his thumb. Kevin realized how fast he had been talking, and that his heart rate was higher than normal. Maybe it was because of the anxiety, maybe even the fact that Jacob was there holding his face in his hands.

"I get uncomfortable with the other members when it comes to these games, not you," Jacob said, reminding him of what his true opinion was.

"Are you sure? Because I thought you said just these games, in general, were uncomfortable for you. A-And that you didn't like the idea of forcing two people to-"

Kevin felt his words melt away when Jacob's lips attached to his. He moved his hands up to Jacob's shoulders, relaxing as he felt his body being held gently. Jacob moved one of his hands to the boy's head, playing with his hair. Their lips moved, and Jacob slipped one of his hands up Kevin's grey sweater. Kevin jumped at the cold touch, whimpering at the feeling. 

Jacob detached their lips for a second, "You were panicking and rushing. I had to find some way to stop you."

Kevin breathed deeply while staring into his eyes. The emotions that he felt at the moment were quite complicated, something he hadn't felt before. He felt tears rise to his eyes the second he realized how comfortable he felt. The tears fell down his cheeks, Jacob smiling and putting his forehead against the younger boy's head.

"Why are you crying?" He spoke in a honey-sweet voice, closing his eyes and holding the boy in his arms.

"I just realized," Kevin took a minute to sniff and smile, "How comfortable I am. With you. Right here. Right now."

Jacob let out a small breath of content, snuggling up against the boy's face while they hugged. He placed a small kiss on Kevin's lips, tasting the warm, salty tears that had fallen off of his face. 

They heard the door open, realizing that the seven minutes they had were up. Kevin was quick to hide his tears, hiding on Jacob's shoulder.

"You guys didn't do anything, right?" Hyunjae asked, teasing them a little bit.

"For one, we had a bonding moment, so I don't really mind that we didn't do much. Kevin's crying."

"Hey! No, I'm not!" Kevin smacked his chest through small sniffles, hearing Jacob giggle.

Hyunjae smiled at the two, knowing that moment was something the two of them needed. 

When the two boys returned, they sat on the couch in the living room and watched the guys play their game of seven minutes in heaven. Kevin snuggled up against Jacob, his head being gently stroked. He wondered how they had managed to get to such a peaceful feeling in less than ten minutes. 

But, that didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was that they had the two of them, in that moment.
