Started with "I Do"

22

Jisung noticed that Minho had fallen asleep. To confirm; he slightly tilted his head to see and seeing that the latter had indeed fallen asleep he lightly pecked Minho's temple and said "It breaks my heart to see you cry but I feel even worse knowing that you are suffering more inside. But you need to know this Lee Minho, that you aren't alone. So, don't suffer all alone."

He slowly laid down Minho on the couch making sure that the older doesn't wake up and covered him with a blanket. All this while Minho was still holding Jisung's hand firmly. Jisung sat down on the floor and kept his head at the edge of the sofa while still holding Minho's hand. He also slowly fell asleep while observing Minho's sharp features carefully. 

Minho woke up later at night and when he looked at the time it was about to be 2 am. He had a slight headache probably from falling asleep after crying. He slowly sat up and looked at Jisung who was sleeping while sitting on the floor, still holding his hand. He felt guilty and thankful towards Jisung and a surging warmth spread in his chest looking at the younger one.

He poked lightly at Jisung's cheek and said "You will catch cold. Go to your room and sleep." Jisung scrunched his face as if he was annoyed while just making a mmm sound. Minho smiled to himself and said "Jisung wake up." while slowly shaking his shoulder. Jisung woke up slowly but was still in his half sleep state and with his half focused eyes looking at Minho asked "Did you have nightmare again? Want me to comfort you?" 

Minho smiled and said "No, you sleepyhead. I am just worried you might catch a cold. Go to your room to sleep." Jisung groaned and just plopped his head down on the sofa still half asleep and said "I won't. Go back to sleep." and started to drift up in his dream. Minho shook his head helplessly and slowly got out of the couch and stretched his body. Then he approached Jisung and put Jisung's arm around his shoulder and lifted him up in a princess carry way.

Jisung felt his body going lightweight in his dream and to feel secure he unknowingly tightly clutched around Minho's neck. He slowly opened his eyes only to see Minho's face a few inches away from him. He stared at him with his half open eyes and asked in a sluggish voice "What are you doing?" while nuzzling his head like a cat in the crook of Minho's neck.

Minho looked down at him and said "Taking you to your room. Continue sleeping." Jisung mmhmed and when Minho thought that he had gone back to sleep Jisung spoke "This is my first time being carried to bed by someone. So, no matter how much I try to play it cool I can't help but feel nervous." Minho reached in front of Jisung's room door and as he opened the door said "Well if it helps this is also my first time carrying someone asleep to bed except that you're awake now."

Jisung giggled lightly as Minho put him down on his bed and covered him with a blanket. Minho was about to turn to go to his own room, to try and get some sleep if he could when Jisung caught his hand and tugged him lightly. Minho turned towards Jisung and asked "What's wrong?" Jisung shifted sidewards leaving a space enough for another person and patted down at the space indicating Minho to lie beside him.

Minho stilled and looked at Jisung face and said with a sad smile "I... I can't sleep with someone next to me." Jisung tugged his hand with enough strength to make Minho sit down on the bed and said "I don't think you'll be able to sleep, even if you sleep on your own anyway. Just stay here so that I can at least assure myself that you are okay." After some contemplation Minho awkwardly lifted up the blanket and laid down next to Jisung.

The bed was big enough for a single person but was a little bit tight for two grown up person. It wasn't that they didn't fit but they could feel their shoulder touching and knowing that there was another person in such close proximity made both of them feel nervous. Jisung slowly side tilted toward Minho with one of his hand under his head and asked in a soft whisper "May I ask you about your nightmare?"
