Chapter 30| marks

Y/n pov:

"Sooo, how was it?" Chan asked from the living room sofa.

We had just got home, barely made it through the door before chan noticed us.  The car ride home was gentle and quiet, me and changbin just enjoying each others presence. I was nearly dropping off, the car ride as smooth as Changbins words, before he lightly squeezed my thigh and murmured something along the lines of  'we're nearly home baby, Stay awake for me, okay?We won't be long'.  And of course I complied.

"It was so much fun," I answered Chan, showing him mr.chubs, my drowsiness evident. "I'm glad," chan replied.

I felt changbins hand hover over my waist, guiding me almost. "You go upstairs, bubs , I'll be up in a second,"  he hummed, being softer than usual.

"m 'kay" i mumbled, turning to look at changbin. I pushed myself up onto my toes and left a soft peck on changbins lips. if I was more sober, I probably wouldn't have done that in front of chan, but I couldn't have cared less when all I wanted was to be in bed, cuddled up with my boyfriend.

"quick pl'se," i whispered as I began to make my way up stairs to changbins bedroom.  I heard faint talking as I left, chan starting the conversation with "your so down bad for her," followed by a quiet chuckle. I pursed my lips, trying to stop a goofy smile from forming on them.

Changbins room is like a 2nd home to me. In fact, just the whole house in general, but changbins room is the best room. Its cozy; the dimly lit lights scattered around the room create a calm aura, the very same ones I made fun of him for because instead of turning the overhead light on, he walks around the room, turning on each and every little lamp one by one. There are fluffy blankets placed on the chair in the corner that me and changbin have wrapped our selves in multiple times, the ones that he will cover me with when I complain I'm cold.

His huge, double bed is placed in the centre of the wall. When I say it's huge, I don't mean big, I mean tall. What is the problem with big...bed.. companies(?) always making them climbing frames. The bed is centre of attention, always making me recall the time I had tripped over changbins not so stupid, stupid Pokémon plushie. He had sat me down on the edge of the bed and kneeled on the floor in front of me, scanning me for any sign of damage. He lifted his hand to my chin, slowly turning my head to find any sign of a bruise, except his actions got slower and slower until he stopped, his eyes peering into mine, lips slightly parted. I remember the pink hue that spread over his cheeks when he registered how long he'd been staring. Changbins room is where we've made the most memories... together.

Once I closed the door to the bedroom, I found one of his worn T-shirts, that was left, wrinkled, on the bed and changed into it. I go into the attached bathroom and wash my face, ready for bed.

I pump the cleanser into my hand and lather it up. I rub my hands at a fast pace, over my face, spreading the product. 

I open my eyes and My hands come to a halt on my cheeks, when I notice something in the mirror.

No way. It can't be?

I quickly cup my hands under the running tap, collecting water and rinse the bubbles off my face with one quick motion. I look again. It's still there.

Slowly, I bring my index and middle finger up to touch it. Before I can, I hear the familiar sound of the bedroom door open and close. "Um- binnie," I call him into the bathroom.

He hums an acknowledgment as he enters.

"What-... what's this?" I bring my hand up to my neck and point at the purple and red mark, resting there, bold and bright.

I watch him in the mirror as he comes up behind me, "oh- god, did I do that?"

He wraps his arms around my middle and takes a closer look at the shape. He snickers before giving it a tiny kiss. "Honestly—" he starts, "I didn't mean to,". I could hear the smugness in his voice.

" yeah right," I touch it again and he looks up to hold eye contact with me through the mirror.

"No, seriously. I'm sorry, I guess I just kissed you kind of... kind of hard? But- i mean- I thought you'd have to do it way longer to make that happen? I'm so sorry y/n," he rests his forehead on my shoulder blade and I laugh a little.

"Stop apologising you big idiot," I chuckle, "it's fine. I mean, I can use makeup to cover it up but I...I kind of..." he lifts his head, once again and looks at me in the mirror, once again. "You like it?"

"Well- I didn't say that,"

Abruptly, He fixes his posture, his arms coming up to cross over his sternum."Omg you like it,"a smirk blossoms on his face. With his arms not trapping me anymore, I take the opportunity to turn around hit him on the chest, "shut up," 

"Never." He closes his eyes for a brief moment, obviously being a tease on purpose. "don't worry baby, I like it too,"

he leans on the sink, his arms either side of me. His hips push forward and knock me into the surface and he begins kissing my neck in the same area as the hickey.

I laugh to cover up the fluster as I try to writhe out of his not so strong, cage and if I don't use all my strength, wanting to stay in his warmth just a little bit longer, that's my business and not his.

I imagine walking the street with his mark on my neck. It's as clear as day for the world to see.

I freeze, "Oh my god, stop,". and he does. He unlocks his arm cage and steps back.

"What? What did I do?" He asks, a hint of panic in his voice, "what happened?"

"Did chan see it?"

His face turns to stone and he stills as if someone paused the movie we live in. Cautiously, he looks down at me, "do you...-" he reaches up and places his hand on my top arm "-..care if he did?"

"not really, it's just... kind of embarrassing I guess," I let out a quiet laugh and let my head fall on his chest.

"Awe," changbin coos, "it's okay bubs," the gentle caresses on my back make me believe him.

"Is someone shy?" He teases again, drawing out his vowels and poking my sides.

"I said shut up!" I raise my voice a little, trying to stand my ground. Though, there's no bite to the words as they become muffled in his torso.

"Alright, alright" changbin chuckles as he kisses my head ever so slightly.

And as I grow soft to his touch, inaudible words filled with love are whispered into my hair.
