paint stains the soul
lofi music played quietly in renjun's bedroom, the curtains closed and the only source of light being the fairy lights hung carefully around the walls
the owner of said room was seated comfortably in his youngest boyfriend's lap, painting on a medium-sized canvas as he subconsciously released a calming, mild scent of fresh vanilla
his other boyfriend was seated comfortably on his bed, watching his lovers with fond eyes and a little grin on his face; he had truly bagged two amazing beings
jaemin was surely the most beautiful thing he had ever known since their younger ages - gaining the confidence to ask his once best friend to be his romantic partner at the ripe age of thirteen, four years before they even met renjun
renjun was just as beautiful, but so pure and gentle and sweet
he told himself he'd never love anybody as much as jaemin, but oh god was he wrong
renjun was the lighter to their adjoined flame, burning their love into one beautiful swirl of colours and emotions
jaemin truly believed the same, the two spent all their nights (when without their baby) talking about how much they've changed over one single year, and how they feel about their third; their last
they loved renjun to the point of fearing how much so, and after the unfortunate run-in with the stupid gang a while back, jaemin knew that there'd still be no hesitation at all to tear apart whoever talks ill about renjun
he returns to that night sometimes, when alone with jen, and can't help but feel overwhelming emotions take over and cause him to bubble up with pure anger at how anybody had the balls to say such things about his darling
jeno feels the exact same, and sometimes, he fears that one day if somebody goes too far about their omega, they won't get out easy with instant death
he pushes it back, though, as the most important thing lays beside them almost every night, cocooned in their arms and their blankets of scents; he droops all over their laps and cuddles into them happily, and that is a reminder that renjun loves them as much as they him
"you tired jen?" jaemin asked, locking eyes with the alpha through renjun's little mirror and smiling to himself after his boyfriend yawned not-so-subtly
jeno only hummed, before laying back on renjun's bed and breathing in
"your scent is lovely, precious- you always smell so sweet" renjun giggled, gasping as he accidentally dropped his paintbrush on jaemin's arm and pouting at his boyfriend as an apology
"'m sorry minnie.." he muttered, doe eyes cast downwards as the paint he used stained the skin; he found out the hard way
"it's alright baby, i'd be honored if you used me as your canvas" jaemin suggested, smiling at his angel and feeling his heart clench as his omega giggled and nodded quickly at the idea before he shuffled around in his lap and gathered some paints from a separate tub
renjun spent the next few hours seated on jaem's lap quietly, letting the brush in his fingers drag across his boyfriend's arms and creating beautiful patterns, showing through art how his soul viewed jaemin and letting him know just how colourful his love was for the other
once he finished, he stood with wobbly legs and clasped his hands together
"jen~ does it look nice?" he asked, puppy eyes making a return as his boyfriend quickly sat up from his half-nap
"it looks beautiful baby, just like you" renjun giggled, diving into jaemin's lap and hugging him
"i think you two are beautiful too!" he smiled, eyes sparkling
"hn? bubba thinks we're pretty? but you're the most beautiful thing in the world!" jaemin nuzzled his nose into renjun's jaw, earning hearty giggles and laughs
"mhm.. minnie 'nd jen are so beautiful, love you alot" renjun whispered, laying his head on jaemin's chest and listening to the comforting heartbeat as his fingers absentmindedly traced the pattern painted carefully on his boyfriend's right arm
