"hey, min."

jisung came up to him after class and minho smiled at him. "done with all your classes?"

"yep. i only have one class. did you need anything?"

"only if you can help me with soccer, but, nope. just wanted to see you."

minho eyed the students that looked at them as they walked by and giggled. "my cute boyfriend."

jisung was not used to being this way with minho. even if it was fake, it felt so nice to be called his boyfriend.

"do you have practice today?"

jisung shook his head, thankful that he could finally rest his aching limbs. "thankfully no. i've been so exhausted. i need a good rest."

minho's smile faltered. he was going to ask jisung to spend time together, but not if he would be a bother.

"what's wrong?"

he didn't even notice they stopped walking. they were at the top of the staircase, leading to the parking lot and jisung held minho's hand.

"nothing, ji. i'm good." he smiled, continuing his walk down the stairs, he noticed that jisung wasn't with him.

he turned around and jisung had his eyebrows furrowed. "something's wrong." minho sighed, biting his lip as jisung walked down the stairs. they continued walking through the hall in silence until minho spoke up. "i was-" he stopped and jisung turned around, tilting his head.

minho huffed. "i was going to ask if- if you wanted to hang out, but- you're tired. it's fine-"

"no! no- i can! i want to. is my dorm good?" minho blinked quickly, a shy smile curling his lips. "yeah, that's good. when?" jisung checked his phone, then realizing he had nothing to do today.

"now? you can sleep over if you want to."

minho nodded, following jisung as they walked through the parking lot and to the dorm building across the street. it was quite cold. minho got cold easily as well. "jisung?" the younger glanced at him and smiled at the pout on minho's lips.

"can i hold your hand? i'm cold."

jisung interlocked their fingers and put them in his hoodie pocket.

jisung unlocked his door and was greeted with the cold air of his dorm. "why do the dorms not have heating."

minho whined as he wrapped his arms around himself and jisung laughed. he tossed his keys onto the counter and brought minho into a hug.

"i'll warm you up with my love."

minho blushed, ears going red as he wrapped his arms around jisung's neck. "you can't just say that."

"sorry, baby." he kissed his forehead before pulling away and going over to the kitchen.

he hates how jisung can make him so shy so fast.

he hates how none of it is real.

minho saw how tired jisung was. he felt bad that he was forcing jisung to hang out with him.

jisung was dozing off on the couch as they worked on homework and minho quietly stood up.

he slipped on his shoes, tying the laces as he heard the couch shift due to weight. "min? did something come up?" minho gulped, not having thought this far ahead if jisung would have woken up and nodded. "yeah, uh, i'm going to get going."

"what happened?"

minho racked his brain for an excuse but jisung's sleepy bare face was distracting him. "uh- felix needs me?" he almost slapped himself for making it sound like a question and jisung stood up. he walked over to where minho was and frowned.

"why are you leaving me?"

he cupped minho's cheeks and minho pursed his lips. "i'm bothering you, ji. i can tell that you want to rest." jisung shook his head, sleepiness present in his voice. "min, i love having you with me. yeah, i'm tired. but that's okay. we can nap."

minho shook his head. "no, ji. get good rest. and recharge." the latter sighed, crouching down and taking off minho's shoes. he stood back up, taking his hand and bringing minho to his room. "we're napping. and recharging. then you're going to sleep over, because i love having you here. okay?"

minho nodded, keeping quiet. he kept quiet whenever he didn't want to answer something, or just didn't have an answer.

"can i shower?"

"of course."

minho nodded. "my stuff is in my dorm. so, i'll go grab it."  as he was about to leave the room, he stopped.

"do you want to go with me? lix is probably there too."

jisung had never been to minho's dorm.

"sure!"

:

minho unlocked his door and was greeted by felix who was on the couch. "oh. should i leave? are you two getting freaky?"

"shut up, felix! i'm just grabbing my shampoo!"

he blushed and went into the bathroom. he packed his shampoo, conditioner and body wash into a bag.

he tucked his cologne in there too after he went into his room. "your room is the same as when they gave it to you? you didn't put any posters or anything up?"

minho shrugged. "i only stay here when felix needs me or i need to focus on studying."

he slung his little bag over his shoulder and smiled. "shall we go? i feel gross and i need to shower."

as they got back to jisung's dorm, which was the floor above him, minho went into the bathroom. jisung flopped on his bed as the shower ran and scrolled through tiktok.

after about 10 minutes, minho opened the door a creak. "ji? sorry, can i borrow clothes? i forgot to grab some."

jisung stood up, opening his closet and grabbing unopened boxers, shorts and a t-shirt. he handed them to minho and heard a 'thank you' before the door closed.

minho exited a minute or two later and he was drying his hair with the towel. once it was dry, he put the towel in the hamper and flopped on the bed.

jisung was hit with the heavenly smell of minho and pulled him into his arms almost immediately.

"you smell so good, what the fuck?"
