"Hongjoong. Hongjooooooong. Joong, Joong, baby why are you doing this to me?" Seonghwa pouts, his bottom lip jutting out and his eyes widening in exaggerated dejection.
He looks pretty unconvincing with the way he's trying to hide a smile.
Hongjoong ruffles his fingers through Seonghwa's hair for probably the eighth time in the past 30 seconds and scowls playfully, their eyes meeting in a flash of dark suggestion.
The buzz of soju in Hongjoong's veins makes everything bright and warm and wonderful, and he reaches for Seonghwa's hair and flicks at it one more time.
"Stop it, oh my god." Seonghwa swats at Hongjoong's hand.
When that doesn't work, he wraps his fingers around each of Hongjoong's wrists, stopping the offending appendages in midair.
Seonghwa drags Hongjoong in and nips at his earrings, eliciting a squeak.
"You guys are being annoying again," Mingi intones from where he's trying to get Jongho to swallow some cold medicine, Jongho sniffling and protesting that he doesn't need it.
Wooyoung shakes his head fondly.
"You'll be okay, right? Phones are charged? You have your wallets?"
"Yes," Seonghwa and Hongjoong say at the same time.
Wooyoung rolls his eyes.
"They'll be fine," San says, smiling at Hongjoong and Seonghwa as they stand in the doorway of their house, finally ready to go after an hour and a half of pregaming, getting dressed, making out against the bathroom sink, fixing Hongjoong's makeup after it got smudged from the making out against the bathroom sink, and giggling over the beat of some new girl group single.
"I wish I could go," Jongho pouts, and then he promptly coughs hard into his elbow.
"Ugh, San, why did you bring home this stupid cold and give it to me of all people? Fuck, I don't feel good."
"Yah, Jongho, take the fucking medicine and go the fuck to bed," Mingi commands, pressing his hand to Jongho's forehead and hauling him up from the couch.
Jongho smiles and leans into Mingi's side, and Hongjoong nudges Seonghwa.
