CRYSTAL EMPIRE | JINKOOK

TEN

Jin woke up with the caress of the sun's light rays on his naked skin and JungKook's lips also caressing his skin, it seemed to him a very sweet act that he always wanted to have. The Emperor was lying on his side leaning on his elbow so that he could give the maiden the caresses that in the morning he so much deserved.

"It has grown late ," managed to say a sleepy SeokJin.

"I'll allow myself a few more moments with you in bed,"

The young chestnut felt his heart light up from the illusion believing JungKook was too sweet and loving to him, perhaps more than he deserved. The kompos' slender arms drew JungKook closer until he was on top of the short man, their mouths joined again.

Knock, knock

JungKook growled and vowed to reprimand the untimely reckless knocker; he mumbled a forward and soon saw Jin's servant enter with a tray in his hands, surely it was breakfast.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, my Lord, but I thought young SeokJin would like to have his breakfast in the bedchamber," he said it mischievously and with double entendre.

"I think I'm allowing you to be d too much," he remarked fondly before kissing the blushing young man again "Won't you bring for me breakfast as well,"

"Of course I am, Sir,"

The couple sat on the bed and ate breakfast after the boy left the bedroom, it was a comfortable silence though in between bites of fruit and juice there was little teasing or cuddling, something neither of them were used to but could easily couple if it was with each other.

"I'm here to prepare the bath," the boy informed coming in again.

"Prepare it in the royal bath," he instructed and the boy hurriedly complied with the order.

Jin wondered how he didn't know about the existence of a bath in the palace, but then he realized that he didn't know much about the palace. At the end of breakfast, JungKook got out of bed undeterred by his nakedness, took Jin in his arms bridal style to take him to the hot spring.

"And you keep spoiling me," SeokJin murmured.

"Don't you like it," he asked him almost in awe

"I love it, I just wonder how long it will last," and perhaps he wasn't just talking about the pampering, but specifically that relationship that diverted them down a path full of affectionate feelings that could harm one or the other.

"It will last until you get tired of me,"

"What if it's the opposite," he asked cautiously "At some point you'll be the one who gets tired of me,"

JungKook wanted to growl like an animal for ruining such a sweet atmosphere, but in reality he kept berating himself that he was right, he was an Emperor after all. Jin had a sweet pout on his lips that he fancied kissable, so without further ado he did it for a change of mood. Gently dipping them into the warm, flower-scented water, he sat down and placed the ioven on his lap.

"Kook," he called, caressing the emperor's face with his fingertips, "may I confess something to you?"

He nodded with some hesitation fearing that Jin might talk about his feelings, specifically a crush on the Emperor because that would land them in big trouble. An emperor had to keep a cool head and not get carried away in the heat of a moment; however, he was finding it difficult to control his emotions with that little angel.

"I'm afraid,"

"Of me?"

"That you'll use me like a doll and throw me away in the end," he muttered with a lowered gaze.
