A lot of training and the planning of their wedding was causing the two to be drained physically and mentally. The wedding was in a week now, everything being perfect. A small wedding filled with high officials from everywhere near the kingdom. They needed the officials to witness their wedding, so it wasn't such a forced pushover. But they also just wanted it out of the way so they didn't have to worry about meeting the people's expectations anymore. In this upcoming week, the training was now every other day and not every day. They decided that there was a need to bring back some energy so they don't look exhausted in front of everyone.

Luckily for Jimin, it was a break day. No training, no sizing, no paperwork, and no meetings. Jungkook had a quick meeting in the morning, though. But that meant the prince, soon to be queen, was able to sleep in. His body really needing this rest to recover all of his energy from the past few months. He doesn't remember when the planning started, but it has been around three months. When the wedding planning started, so did the tensions between his new kingdom and the Spints kingdom. Their ruler Kim Hwan was furious with this news. War hasn't broken out yet, but Jungkook has needed to up his border control. Groups all gained two new members, and there were four more groups created.

Sadly l there was no honeymoon planned out for these men. They just knew a war was going to break out. And hopefully only between the two kingdoms. Hopefully, Jimin wouldn't need his mother to send troops over to aid them. But Hwan gave them the sense of a weak army, but a lot of troops from the surrounding neighbors. The people of Spints have been on a continuous revolution against the hierarchy, but that doesn't mean there's not an army to control that can go to war.

The prince stretches while he finally decides to get out of bed. He knew it was still early since his boyfriend didn't come and wake him up. Which means the meeting is still happening. Making his way to his closet, he tries to figure out what to do to waste time until Jungkook's meeting is over. He knows to go get breakfast, but what to do afterwards? Nothing he normally does sounds appealing. So he wants to do something new. He changes and makes his way to the kitchen. Jin has been given a moment off normal kitchen duties in order to plan what he wants to do for the wedding catering. So having a meal ready wasn't normal right now.

The older is whipping up a cake batter while Jimin is entering. To grab the other's attention,  he cleras his throat a little. "Hello Hyung. What is it that you're working on now?" A surprise gasp follows as Jin turns around to see his favorite royal. He places down the batter and pulls the younger into a hug. Starting to instantly ramble as he does so.

"I've missed you! Jungkook is keeping you away from me with that busy schedule. You need to tell him to clear your schedule out a bit so we can actually see each other. Also, try this batter. I don't know what cake flavor to do for the wedding," Jin pulls away from the hug and grabs the batter, which Jimin gladly takes. Cake batter for breakfast? No complaints from him. He takes a spoonful and places it in his mouth. The flavor is just exploding when he tastes the batter.

The prince enjoys his cake batter with a huge smile. The flavor is lemon and blackberries. Something new for him, but a wonderful delight. "Jin, this is the cake. I've tried plenty before, but this is it. Please do a cream cheese frosting with it, though. Nothing too sweet, but it'll also pair very well with it." Jin hums and then takes the bowl away. Proceeding with pouring it into a small cake pan. The next test was actually getting it to bake without any issues.

With the pan entering the oven, he turns to face the prince. "Cream cheese? I knew you were good with herbs, but baking is new to me. Secret stress hobby?" Jimin's eyes go wide as he slightly freezes from shock, Jin lets out a small laugh, "I didn't think I was going to call you out like that. Sorry, but if you want to ever come in here to bake, I will gladly let you. I need someone to share recipes with."

"That would be nice. I love stress baking muffins and sharing them."

There's laughing and muffled huffs that fill the big bedroom. The two royals lay in bed with nothing else planned for the day. Just time to enjoy each other. Jungkook is leaning up against the pillows with an embarrassed Jimin's face in his chest. Trying to keep his laughing on the down low so Jimin doesn't get too upset. But it wasn't working since he is still laughing at the other's dismay.

A very muffled and whiny 'stop' gets Jungkook to finally recollect himself. He clears his throat and lifts the smaller's head up a little bit with both his hands. "How can I not laugh at the fact you ate too much cake batter like a five year old would? Jimin, baby, I love you... but this... is too funny," and then he continues to laugh some more. The smaller just buries his face back into the other's chest. Still being embarrassed of his upset stomach and is now trying to hide the blush from being called 'baby.' He also finds himself smiling like an idiot at the idea of being called it one more time.

The laughing stops after a short amount of time. Two fingers this time lift Jimin's head up by his chin. "Baby~" Jungkook says to see the blush he knew was being hidden. He knows that if Jimin is embarrassed, once his face is pulled out of hiding, it'll stay out of hiding. But blushing Jimin? Well, that side will try to stay hidden forever. Never works, but there's always an attempt to hide it at all cost.

Jimin can feel his body melt hearing the pet name. His whole body feeling hot this time, and the blush being more prominent than the previous one he hid. A smirk forms on Jungkook's face as he watches the mental struggle going on in Jimin. Which is to fully give in or fight off the submissive mentality. It's a fun battle to watch because he knows what will win. And that is the side he let's win, not Jimin. But the prince doesn't want to give in so easily, so he pulls away from the king to hopefully recollect his own self.

Yet someone doesn't like the sudden pull away."I like knowing that pet names get your mind going fuzzy. But Jiminie, I will have to let you know that leaving without being excused by the king is punishable. So baby~"

"Kookie, stop calling me that," Jimim huffs out, which is all it took to get Jungkook's mind to flip. He flips them around and pins Jimin down by his wrist. Jimin only letting out a small squeak. He didn't mean for this to happen. He just didn't want to submit so fast to his lover

"Jimin, I promised not to go hard on you before our wedding... but you're making it hard for me to not. We both know my mind likes any challenge and you telling me what to do and what not to do is going to get you fucked hard enough to the point you can't walk down that aisle. So no movement right now," Jungkook smiles and then leans his head into the smaller's neck. They both sit like this for a while, enjoying the silence and cuddling. It brought piece to their minds knowing they can still enjoy these moments. Nothing trying to bring them back into the real world. No wars, no pressure for getting married, and no babies. But the king had a new motive he was going to achieve since his lover made a new issue. He sits back up and uses one hand to hold the other's face. "Baby, I think you should just let that side win for me."

The winter user's eyes instantly show the shift. Soften gaze while keeping them locked on the man in front of him. Jungkook hums in approval. He loves that he has this control over him. Simple words making the other melt. "I love seeing you like this. You submit so easily to me, and only me. And your already dazed look without me touching you yet is the cherry on top. I know I can do an amazing job with physical touching, but knowing my words can cause this. That's an ego boost every time."
