there were a lot of better things that renjun could imagine, other than almost getting suffocated to death, due to the heat of two bodies laying extremely close to his own.

but considering those two bodies were jaemin and jeno's, he couldn't complain.

yesterday, after the confession on the beach had happened, the three had spent a little more time at the shore, collecting some pretty shells they found and teasing each other, while almost pushing each other into the water. that in itself wouldn't be a problem, but it was currently just spring and it wasn't warm enough for any swimming sessions yet. it had been enough for them all to only stand in the water with their feet.

"mhm-," the youngest of them muttered, shoving jeno's hand out of his face, that was plastered on it, to properly sit up and run a hand through his morning messy hair.

"can you please- ugh, im dying here-," renjun groaned, somehow making a mission of fighting himself out of the blankets to sit at the end of the bed, which luckily ended up successfully.

looking at renjun, who was panting quite a lot, jaemin had to laugh. "you're kidding, is it really that warm between us?"

the chinese nodded, but not without a smile finding it's way onto his face.

during all that, jeno was still in a deep slumber and seemingly not noticing anything at all. to say that jeno was a deep sleeper was truly an understatement.

"hey, wanna mess with him a bit, injunnie?," jaemin nodded in jeno's direction with his head.

one would consider jaemin a bad friend. or well, boyfriend even, at the thing he was gonna do next. he slowly slipped his hands under jenos t-shirt (as careful as possible, as to not wake him up, of course.) and started tickling the absolute shit out of him.

it didn't take long until the black-haired started gasping for air, desperately begging the other one to stop, renjun just watching it all happen from the sidelines with a smirk on his face.

well, maybe waking up like this in the morning was not so bad.

                         ------------------

"now, why exactly doesn't your toaster work?," jeno chewed on his raw untoasted-toast, side-eyeing both of his boyfriends (calling them that in his head made him smile like an idiot), although it was obvious that the question was directed at renjun, whose toaster was, unsurprisingly, not functional anymore.

renjun's cheeks suspiciously started to heat up, his eyes moving towards the ground and his body started to tense up. jaemin assumed it was due to embarrassment, though he doesn't know what renjun would be embarrassed about, when it comes to a broken toaster. a broken toaster can't have many secrets behind it, can it?

"there's.. not a good explanation for it, but just know, it involves hyuck."

oh. oh! yeah.

the youngest nodded to himself, leaning a bit back in the chair, which made an awful noise by the way, causing jeno to groan.

now he understood why renjun was embarrassed. everything that involved hyuck was embarrassing. no, scratch that, donghyuck himself was embarrassing. if embarrassment would be a person, it would be lee donghyuck and there was no exaggerating when it came to this.

fact is, that's what jaemin thinks at least. donghyuck was a good friend after all, but the two had ended up bickering too often about useless topics ("what the fuck do you mean, picasso died in the 70s? dude, he died in the 1800s! you don't know shit about history!") that the entire view of donghyuck in jaemins head was just tainted with rather.. embarrassing memories. therefore the chance of his view on him ever changing was unlikely.

he could accept having him around as renjun's best friend, though. it's not like he has a choice anyway, but he'd be willing to even put up with the most annoying and nerve-wrecking people on earth, if that meant that renjun was happy.

"alright, enough talk about broken toasters and embarrassing donghyucks, please let's just cuddle."

both renjun and jaemin turned their hands into jeno's direction, without even thinking. they didn't ever think, to be fair, but seriously, there was no way in hell they were going to just reject that offer.

renjun probably had forgotten about how warm it is together with them too, but that wasn't his personal problem now, since jeno was the one who laid in the middle on the couch. and even if he would remember it, as long as it's jeno and jaemin who would make him endure this heat, he'd always be okay with it and even enjoy it.

just like he was enjoying it now. all of their legs were entangled weirdly and messily and their hearts were all beating fast in their ribcages, but it was all so full of love, that renjun almost broke out in tears.

he couldn't even imagine them not being a thing. them not feeling like this for each other. them not loving each other.

it had barely been a day until they started their relationship, went this huge step together, but to renjun, and also to the other two, it felt like coming home. coming home to a home with lots of fairy lights and a warm, cozy atmosphere. a home, so fully stuffed with love and happiness, that it made you unable to think about anything else.

all the wait, all the streams and the pining had been worth it.

                          ------------------------

"you still keep that lucky bamboo? i thought it would be dead by now."

the oldest was currently opening twirle, to turn on the stream, though he still had to prepare some things, but looked at jeno with a big smile regardless. "it's still alive. i mean, it's for luck. so i guess, it did improve my luck, considering.. us three are in a relationship now."

"you mean the plant is thriving?"

"great way to ruin the romantic mood, jaemin," jeno noted, but there was no harsh intention behind his words.

"okay, both of you, shut up now, the stream is starting."

one last blink and the stream started, all of renstudies followers getting notified. it didn't even take mere seconds until the chat was flooded with comments, asking who those two mysterious people beside the streamer were.

"hey, everybody. welcome back to today's stream! it may come as a suprise to you, but today i've brought my boyfriends with me. you might know them as, well, the pickleboy, i guess."

juuwoo: EVERYBODY FUCKING PARTY! YOUR FAVORITE STREAMER FINALLY GOT BITCHES!
