show me that you're vulnerable

live for the chase

chan's words lingered in jisungs mind

'a spontaneous trip? is that a good idea?'

repeating over and over as if they were laughing at him.

no. of course it wasn't a good idea.

anger and sadness blossomed in jisungs chest as he sat on the couch contemplating what to do. it was just a little while after he told minho's mom that he would be alright, that she could go to bed.

he sat there, staring, at nothing. all these thoughts bouncing off the walls of his skull. all these unsaid words piling into his brain.

"fuck this." he whispered to himself, huffing as he stood up from the couch.

he was tired of it, tired of this.

he's no longer scared. not one drop of nervousness was in his body when his legs carried him to minho's bedroom.

he twisted the doorknob and let the door swing open. the room was only lit by a small light but he was still able to see minho sleeping peacefully in his bed.

just one glance at the elder and he felt nothing. he would've been nervous any other day, his heart would be pounding out of his chest, he would be expecting the worst, expecting rejection. but he doesn't care.

he walked up to him, looking down at his stupidly peaceful face and somehow his anger only grew.

"wake up." he nudged minho hard enough so he woke up the first time, his firm voice would have probably done the job perfectly fine honestly but he wanted to play it safe.

he sees minho's eyes look up at him. he turned around walking back towards the door this time to flip the light switch turning the big light on in minho's room.

"god!" minho squints as he sits up on the edge of his bed. "what time is it?" he asked, annoyance filling his voice.

jisung knows how much minho hates to be woken up in the middle of the night but he doesn't care.

"you're a liar, and a terrible one." jisung chuckles as he walks over to minho to stand in front of him. confidence is running through his veins right now.

"wha-"

"i know you, minho. and i know you want this, want us." he states.

"fucks sake jisung what what are you talking about." minho furrows his eyebrows, his voice becoming more firm as he gets more annoyed.

"we can keep playing this game if that's really what you want. you can keep pretending you don't want me, but we both will know the truth anyways so why pretend, hm?" jisung says slyly, he's like a cat, a cat that's curling it's tail around minho, luring him in.

"jisung! seriously you're delusional! you don't know what you're taking about and i don't even know what you're taking about, this is stupid just fucking go to sleep." minho sighs

jisung doesn't do or say anything, he just bursts out laughing. genuinely laughing.

minho is taken aback, not expecting this to be jisungs reaction at all. clearly nothing funny was said, or so he thought.

"sure, yep. i'm so delusional! i'm so delusional minho, i'm actually sorry. i'm sorry that you're too scared to admit that you kissing me wasn't just a 'stupid kiss' or that it 'means nothing'. i'm sorry that you literally kicked hyunjin out of your house in the middle of the night because he said something negative about me, oh, but that means nothing too, right?"

minho stayed silent, carefully watching and listening jisung as he rants.

"no seriously i'm sorry for being so delusional, next time you call me names like 'baby' and hold my face and waist so gently and lovingly i'll just assume that it means nothing to you."

"jisung" minhos ears redden and the anger in jisungs chest vanishes, he feels accomplished.

"no, it's fine minho, i understand."

"jisung..." he looks away shyly. his eyes are tired and his lips are pouty, he looks defeated and jisung has to contain himself, swallow down the victorious smile that wants to plaster across his face.

"what." he asks

"just-" he sighs deeply "fuck.. come here."

jisung opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again. he wanted to ask why but he thought better of it, taking a couple steps forward to stand in front of minho.

as soon as he was in minhos reach he felt his hands grasp his hips firmly. minho and jisung quickly switched positions, minho pushed jisung onto his bed while he was the one standing in front of him now.

one hand rested on his waist, the other hand grabbed jisungs face tilting his chin up so he was looking at him.

all of the nervousness he should've felt when he first walked in the room hit him now. he locked eyes with minhos.

"i'm sorry baby." he chose his words wisely, he knew exactly what he was doing. he made sure to make it obvious, holding his waist, holding his face, callling him baby. he made sure to do all of these things.

"it was rude of me to kiss you without asking. but i think im a man who can learn from my mistakes, so please forgive me." he smiled softly

jisung froze. he didn't move, didn't say anything, didn't even blink. he just stared into minhos incredibly soft eyes.

"can i kiss you?" he asks while dragging his index and middle finger along jisungs chin before dropping his hand.

jisung nodded, still feeling frozen.

"use your words baby."

"yes- please." his chest felt heavy, his heart rate spiking. his head felt fuzzy, every piece of his body tingled.

he felt warm, as if he was standing in front of a fire on a cold winter night, as soon as minhos lips touched his the flames did as well. slowly lighting jisungs entire body on fire as the kiss deepened.

jisung didn't know if minho felt the same, or if he even felt anything. something about that thought made this more fun.

this constant state of push and pull, words that meant one thing and actions that meant another, something about kissing minho like this after fighting made it more fun.

soft moans slipping from his lips as the kisses trailed down his neck.

jisung and minho both live for the chase.
