A Guardian's Promise- Minbin

TWELVE: Coming clean

Early morning sunlight peered through the curtains, the soft sounds of birdsong calmly lulling the streets.
Minho slowly began to open his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows as he began to gain sense of his surroundings.

He slowly began to remember the events of yesterday and last night, and a blush spread across his face as he realized the strong arms holding him securely, their legs tangled together.
Minho smiled to himself as heard and felt Changbin's soft breaths against his neck, fanning heat onto him and causing his hairs to stand on edge.

Minho wanted to get up, but Changbin's grip was too tight, possessive, almost. Minho could easily get out, but he didn't want to wake his lover.
He decided to wait for the younger one to wake up, because he couldn't get himself to sleep again.
After a few minutes he heard a faint grunt, smiling as Changbin pulled him in a bit closer, if that was even possible at this point.

"Good morning," Minho whispered, Changbin humming as he nuzzled his head into the older's neck. Minho giggled at the slight tickle.
"Did you sleep well?" Changbin asked.
Minho hummed, shifting so that they were now facing each other.

"We've gotta get to HQ. We have a lot of information to tell the others, you know." Minho said, carding his hand through Changbin's messy morning hair.
Surprisingly, the officer was wide awake, even though it had been a few moments since he woke up.
Minho supposed it was from two straight years of waking up early that it simply didn't faze him anymore.
"Okay. I'll get ready." Changbin slowly got up, Minho sitting up.

"I've gotta brush," Minho said.
"We can brush together then. Come on," Changbin helped Minho gather his coat and sword, the older putting them on before following Changbin out of the room and into the bathroom.
The bathroom was simple, filled with black tiled walls and a hanging tube light, a shower at the back next to the toilet. They went to the sink, Changbin handing Minho a clean brush and toothpaste.
They both applied toothpaste before brushing, Changbin and Minho separately taking showers.
"Do you want other clothes? You always wear that same outfit. Come to think of it, all Guardians wear the same stuff at work." Changbin said as he put on a jacket.

"It's like a uniform. I have many pairs of the same outfit." Minho explained.
Changbin hummed in understanding before they went downstairs.
"Here, eat this," Minho swiftly caught the apple that Changbin threw at him, his quick reflexes were no joke.
They both ate an apple before leaving the house, making sure they had all their stuff with them.
"Door and windows are locked," Miroh said as Changbin closed the door.
"Shall we go then?" Changbin asked.
"Ah, I forgot one thing," Minho said. Changbin raised an eyebrow.

"What?"
Minho smiled before quickly leaning forward, pressing a firm kiss onto Changbin's lips before pulling away quickly, Changbin flustered as Minho began to walk off.
"Come on officer, don't wanna be late~"

The two arrived at HQ, Changbin parking his craft safely at the top of a building with the help of soldiers.

They quickly showed their IDs before walking over to the invisible bridge.
Once again, Minho offered his hand to Changbin, who smiled and took it gently.
They walked over the streets, hand in hand, before arriving inside the security department.
They let go of each other's hands, Minho whispering to him.

"How are we meant to have them all gather without the Clan being suspicious?" Lee Know asked.
"We can text them that we should reconvene for case purposes. It's not entirely false," Changbin whispered back as they walked into a more secluded space.
"Good idea," Minho nodded.
"Chaewon and Chan already know about most of the findings, so they shouldn't be a problem," Minho said.

Lee Know
Everyone, let's meet up in the usual spot. We should go over the evidence again.
