WC: 990
Releasing the breath he was holding, stopping himself from opening the door. "Maybe I've been overbearing, and you need some time without me. I'll ask your mom if I can use the spare room tonight." Finally opening the door, he stepped out of the room before Minho could speak. Minho sat in the bed feeling dumbfounded before he got up in a flurry, charging downstairs. Rushing to the conversation.
"Sungie?" He spoke loud enough for the others to hear, entering the room
"Min?" Jisung turned, having a surprised look on his face
"Please, don't sleep in another room." He begged, not realizing that he was crying. "I don't want to be alone at night, please. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be an ass. I just- I don't even know. I hate thinking about why I have the sling and I don't want to do that because it reminds me I was shot, what happened that night, how scared we were." Breaking down his words tumbling out only making some sense
Jisung moved to him not able to remain mad at him, pulling him into a hug. "Okay. I'm right here, Minho. I'm not letting you go."
Holding him tight with the arm he could, looping his chin over his shoulder. "It keeps replaying in my head, like a reel that just won't break. Your scream is the worst part of it. I wanted to be okay, I thought I was."
Minho's mother came over to them wrapping her arms around them, knowing how Minho tried to downplay everything. But this one time, he couldn't. This was far too traumatic. "I won't leave you, Min. I'm right here, okay? I love you." Jisung spoke, shocking his parents. They knew they were boyfriends but not that they were to this point.
"I love you too, Sungie. I'm sorry." speaking barely above a whisper
"Don't be sorry. These are your feelings, it's okay that you are feeling them. We understand you don't always know how to let them out constructively, I'm sorry that I left you. I should have realized that you were going through this." Squeezing him tighter. Standing in the kitchen holding each other, with Minho's mother rocking them. Jisung felt Minho's weight more, "You ready to go lay down, jagi?"
Nodding his head, "You're coming right?"
"Yeah, you can hold my hand the whole way there." Jisung smiled, pulling back
Minho's mom pulled her son into a tight hug, kissing his head and reminding him how much she loved him. Surprising Jisung when she repeated the action with him, moving so she was next to his ear. "Thank you for taking care of him, I know this is unusual for him to show so much but he does have a lot of emotions. He's letting you in, just as you've let him in."
Pulling apart smiling, feeling a kiss on his head. With another goodnight from the parents, Minho held tight to Jisung's hand. Ascending the stairs to reach their room, ready to be alone once again. Climbing into bed together, Jisung held Minho tight that night singing him to sleep. Thankful that he slept through the night without any issues.
Eating breakfast with Minho's parents, they were resistant about leaving after last night. Jisung reassured them that he could handle it, if not he'd call them. After the somber breakfast, they left. Snuggling on the couch, Jisung carded his fingers through the elder's hair.
"I had these next couple of days planned out, but now it feels like I planned them to avoid what I have going on in my head," Minho spoke softly
Turned to face the boy, confused about what he was talking about. "What are you talking about baby?"
Sighing sitting up, looking to the youngest. "I wanted- or planned on asking if you wanted to explore further. But in hindsight, it's probably rushed anyway and-."
Taking Minho's hands in his, "Don't overthink it okay, Min? We can still fool around but I think right now, I don't think we need to go to sex yet. I can't wait until the right time, whether you penetrate me or vice versa."
"Who says you're topping?" Minho smirked
Jisung grinned back, glad to change the mood of the room. "Me! I am so topping you at some time!"
"You think you're up for it?"
Smirking back, "Alright kitten, the next time you're crying out for my touch you remember that."
"You are just as bad jagi, if not worse."
Blushing at his words, "Shut up."
"No. I rather like it when you blush, it's cute." Giggling stroking his cheek gently. "I'm so glad, you're mine."
"Me too."
"I love you, Jisung. Thank you for last night, I am so sorry for how I acted."
"I love you too, Minho. I know you are that's why I accepted your apology. We are all traumatized from that night, you have every right to be more so because you were shot by one of those monsters."
"After talking about it, it's been better so far today. It doesn't seem like it's on the continual reel. I don't feel so terrified, but that emotion is still lingering waiting for a moment of meekness."
"Min, I think that's only natural. It's okay to be scared if it becomes overbearing or overwhelming let me know. I'll try and help you or get you to someone that can."
"I know you will."
Smiling to each other, "You are always there for me, watch over me. It's felt nice to be able to watch over my favorite hyung."
"I like taking care of you." Minho countered
"You can once you're better, but know I'll try and do a better job of doing it for you."
Pulling the boy to sit in his lap, Jisung complied straddling him. Knowing what he wanted, it might be a distraction of sorts. At least for now, he was talking about his feelings. That's all Jisung could ask, he could push only so much. Everyone should know that if you push someone too much, especially after a traumatic experience, it could make it worse.
Hope you're still enjoying, leave a comment if you are 😀 . Can you believe that it's almost halfway through January already?! Stay safe and healthy. Until next time ~DQ ❤️
