mon amour || heejake

chapter four.

Drip..drip...drip.

There was a pause in their moment, Jakes face was red, all he could hear was the rain pouring, and his slow, shaky breaths.

It took him a minute, but he fully got what the boy said. He blinked, looking up at the older with an unreadable expression.

After what felt like forever, Jake nervously giggled and looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. "H-hyung, you're funny.."

"Just take the bed, it's quite alright-"

"I wasn't kidding, Jaeyun.."

Heeseung watched the youngers expression freeze up again, and he could sense his swirling emotions. He chuckled before breaking his intense gaze, looking out the window.

"I'll sleep out here, that's final, you may sleep in your own room. I wouldn't want to burden you, ma cheri" He spoke quietly as he slowly brought his gaze back to the others.

Jake was still so stunned, he couldn't register if the man was just teasing, but his expression seemed too serious to be a joke.

Thump.

His heart skipped a beat as he slowly nodded his head. "Alright. Goodnight, Heeseung hyung..." he trailed off as he turned to walk to his bedroom.

'What the hell just happened?'

The latter shook his head, trying to brush off all the confliction he was feeling. For some reason, he couldn't stop thinking maybe he was..crushing on a man he knew almost nothing of.

Or, he'd met three times based from luck. This wasn't the only issue clouding his mind, just how in the hell does he know Jakes real name?

Heeseung took a seat on the couch, watching the latters disappearing figure with a small smile. 'How cute...he was nervous.'

After awhile, the older grew curious if the other was asleep already or not. He quietly crept to the latters door, slightly creaking it open.

Jake was asleep, curled up with his dog and the little kitten. Cute. He looked peaceful, so still and angelic.

Somehow, his feet led him to stand beside Jakes bed, looking down at his sleeping figure. 

Heeseung smiled a little, gently stroking the boys hair. He looked adorable, his small pouted lips, his lashes against his pale skin. 

"Ma douce...you are still as beautiful as ever. Sweet dreams, je t'aime" He softly whispered, before placing a small peck to the youngers forehead.

The sun was barely shining in the morning, it seemed like maybe there would be a thunderstorm.

Jake woke up to the feeling of slobber on his cheek, his eyes slowly opening to see Layla licking his face.

"Good morning to you too..." He mumbled as he pet her head, which made her stop almost immediately. 

She quietly yipped before the boy got out of bed and went to the bathroom. It seemed like another normal day.

That was, till he opened the bathroom door, still half asleep, to see a man with only a towel around his waist.

Jake blinked, before gasping, slapping his hand over his mouth. Heeseung raised his brow, a droplet of water falling from his hair onto his chest.

'Oh...my......god..'

He gulped, covering his eyes then backing away, "I'm so sorry! I totally forgot- this is so embarrassing" 

"It's alright...don't worry about it, la cheri" He gave him a gentle smile, despite the boy not being able to see. 

Jake felt his face heat up before hurrying back to his room, his heart was racing faster then ever before. 'Holy shit...' 

The older chuckled as the other ran off, he sighed, muttering under his breath, "So cute.."

Heeseung shut the door again before going back to drying himself off.

Meanwhile the younger was trying to calm himself down. "Oh my god...he looked so..Layla what the hell am I feeling?" he whined as he cupped his dogs face.

She barked, making Jake giggle a bit as he played with her floppy ears. "You're a good listener, aren't you, girl?" he cooed.

He was still giggling and playing with her before the older knocked on the door. He got up from the bed, taking a deep breathe before opening the door.

His hair was still a bit damp, it was messy. Jake could feel his breath catch in his throat before he averted his gaze elsewhere. "S-so uh...you're done? Sorry for walking in...I forgot because I was tired-"

Heeseung chuckled before placing his finger over the others lips. "Relax Jake, it's alright. I know you didn't mean to...sorry, I should've locked the door"

Jake blinked, the older still had his finger over his mouth. He pulled back, giving him a shy smile as he nodded his head, "It's okay...looks like we both made a mistake."

"I'm sure you'd like to go wash up too, so I'll get out of your hair...for now" He winked playfully before walking off, the youngers blush made him smile.

'He's so cute when he's flustered..'

The blushing latter walked to the bathroom after standing there, frozen and stunned. 

After Jake had finished his shower, when he walked out, he was confused as to why it was oddly quiet. He looked around the penthouse, but it seemed it was now empty?

He was about to yell the olders name, before the other appeared behind him. He squealed, a little scared from the sudden appearance.

"Oh my god! You scared me, hyung!" The younger whined as he playfully pushed the others shoulder.

Despite not being so close, it was always easy for Jake to act like close friends with anyone he hardly knew.

Heeseung chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, "Sorry, Jakey...I made breakfast for you." He gave him a small smile as he saw the others face turn a shade of pink.

'Jakey..' The younger blushed from embarrassment, the only people who had ever called him that were Sunoo, or Jungwon.

"Y-you did?... That's so sweet of you, hyung.." He shyly said as he looked away.

The older nodded before leading the other to the table, even sitting him down. It all felt, natural?

Jake was a little confused as to why all of it felt familiar, especially it being with Heeseung. 

The two chatted for awhile as they ate breakfast, by the time they had finished, and even cleaned up, the rain was getting harder. 

"Hyung..are you sure you can get home in this weather? I wouldn't want you to get sick because you couldn't find a way back-"

"It's alright, I've walked in the rain many times. I'll be fine, you don't need to worry so much, mon cher" Heeseung smiled as he gently patted Jakes hand that rested on the couch.

"Are you really sure?...I wouldn't mind letting you stay for longer till it calms down" The younger pouted slightly as he looked at the other latter.

A small chuckle breezed out of the olders mouth as he shook his head, "Jake please, I'm sure it's not gonna stop for awhile..."

"And I'm sure you wouldn't want me to spend the night once more."

Jake didn't know exactly what came over him in that moment.

But he wasn't exactly expecting himself to be so bold.

"What if I want you to stay again?"
