Monsters

(Minki's POV)

It had been about a week since the Jae incident and those boys had long left the house.

I was really thankful cause I wouldn't have to be scared to walk around alone around the house, and because we would be able to stretch out our resources longer.

I was still upset however.

Me and Yuta...I didn't know what we were. We did the things that couples do, such as hugging. He would help me cook and clean and he would sit with me whenever I went out to talk to the boys. We even slept in the same bed! All the time!

It was frustrating me that I didn't know what we were.

I messed with my hands, sitting on my bed as I waited for him to come up, having told him to meet me up here whenever he could because I wanted to confront the issue, but it made me...so so very nervous.

----+----

It had been a few hours when the door opened to show Yuta, his sweet smile on his face.

"Hey Minny, I'm sorry it took me a while. You said you wanted to talk?" He asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed beside me, placing his hand on my stomach, his thumb rubbing circles on it.

I took a deep breath before just blurting why I asked him to meet me. "Yuta hyung, what are we?"

I felt his thumb stop as he stared at me, his voice barely above a whisper when he spoke. "Well Minki, what do you want us to be?"

I sat up slowly, taking his hand in my own and playing with his fingers. "W...well...I really like you, like...really really like you, and...and I dunno if your into guys or not but...but I would really like it if you were my boyfriend.." I whispered, keeping my head down, not seeing the smile lightning up his face. "I-i know it's not the best time to have a significant other, cause y'know, the world's fucked but I mean, who knows when we're gonna die so I thought I should just get it off my chest when I could-"

I was interrupted by a pair of warm, soft lips on mine.

I could feel the blush clawing it's way up my neck as I slowly closed my eyes and kissed back.

Yuta chuckled against my lips, pulling back slightly. "I would love to be your boyfriend Choi Minki." I smiled widely, leaning in and kissing him again.

His kisses were like a drug.

So soft and warm.

They made fireworks explode in my chest and my head to feel all fuzzy, only the thought of him being clear.

He pulled me closer by my waist, pulling me onto his lap as he turned his head to deepen the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, being hyper aware of one of his hands on my hip and the other on my thigh.

He pulled away slowly when we both needed air, both of our cheeks flushed and our chests heaving from the intensity. He pecked me softly and smiled big at me. "You have, absolutely no clue how long I've wanted to kiss you Minki." I let out a small chuckle, looking down shyly. "You dunno how long I've wanted you to do that hyung."

He kissed my forehead softly, hugging me close. "God...I'm so happy you actually like me back." He whispered in my ear, resting his head on my shoulder. I smiled happily, nuzzling into his neck. "Same here Yuyu."

We stayed like that for a while, just reveling in each other's presence.

----+----

After a while Yuta softly patted my hip. "We gotta get up baby, you need to eat and I need to cook." I frowned a little. "Let me cook with you." I pleaded.

He just smiled widely and kissed my nose, standing up with me still attached to him. "Of course bub, let's go." I smiled widely back, slowly dropping my legs from him and taking his hand as we walked downstairs.

The other boys smiled at us when we came down, looking at our hands before happy squeals erupted from them.

I blushed brightly, slightly hiding behind Yuta's shoulder as he let out a laugh.

He pulled me into the kitchen and smiled at me after picking me up and setting me on the counter. "Let's get started, yeah?"

----+----

After a cooking session filled with giggles and soft kisses, we called the boys to the dining room to eat.

I sat beside Yuta, him placing his hand on my thigh. I fought down my blush as he engaged in conversation with everyone.

I looked around at my little family, smiling softly as I thought about that. Family. That's exactly what we were.

I started to eat, joining in conversation every now and again as well, just feeling complete with everyone here. Happy that I had all of my boys with me.

----+----

After dinner me and Yuta and Taeyong cleaned up.

Taeyong bid us goodnight and congratulations before heading to his room.

Yuta turned to me and smiled wide. "You wanna go tell the boys the good news?" I smiled widely. "Oh absolutely! Mark will be so happy to hear I finally found a good relationship." Yuta chuckled softly, kissing my hairline before leading me outside, doing our usual flower picking before heading to the crosses, there being two holes in the ground where Sungjin and Dowoon used to be.

I sat in the middle of the boys as usually, starting to talk animatedly like I usually did, telling them the good news, feeling the happiness in the graveyard tonight.

----+----

We had finally come up to our room.

I smiled at Yuta as we got in bed. I didn't want to take my hearing aids out cause I wanted to hear him.

He chuckled at me. "You can't sleep with your aids in baby, how about, I sing to you and then you take them out and we sleep, yeah?" I nodded, shifting to get comfortable in his arms as he cleared his throat.

(He sings this :))

(Ik Yuta doesn't sing english but T^T)

I smiled sleepily, feeling him gently remove my hearing aids before a soft kiss was placed on my lips. I smiled more, snuggling up close to him as we fell asleep.
