Ship: Jeongin / Seungmin
Words: 838
Summary: It is in the moments like these that make Jeongin's heart warm the most. Raw domestic affection is everything to him, especially when both are tired and sleepy. He wants to stay like this forever, wants to assure Seungmin that he is always his top priority – his love of his life.

The light that gets switched on, flickers slightly before remaining steady. Jeongin locks the door with both hands, so that the click can be as silent as possible.
Even quieter, is the way he places his bag on the floor and hangs his wet coat. He looks around and listens to be sure everything is still silent.
The clock in the kitchen says 01:43 am and Jeongin feels guilt eating him up. He was at a dinner party with his coworkers, and was supposed to be home early; he promised Seungmin to be home early.
In the kitchen, he doesn't turn on the lights because it's next to the bedroom. He is surprisingly greeted by their cat, which lazily purrs against Jeongin's legs. With a thin smile, Jeongin scratches the feline behind her ears and under her chin.
He leaves the kitchen after having drunk a glass of water and heads to the bathroom to take off his clothes, which he places them inside their laundry basket.
With just his boxers on, he moves to their bedroom. He is too tired to shower at this hour, his head is too full of conversations he had to bear throughout the evening.
The room is silent, Jeongin immediately senses that Seungmin is sleeping. He is lying still on his side of their double king-sized bed.
Jeongin walks slowly in big steps towards his nightstand, and wears the shirt he had folded the evening prior. The mattress creases where he places his thigh. Carefully, he manages to lift the covers and slip underneath them. Just when he finds the right position, Seungmin stirs in his sleep and turns around to face him.
He makes a weak sound, and Jeongin thanks the heavens for Seungmin to be too tired to talk right now. He hopes he is not really in the mood to scold him.
"Innie?"
Or maybe not.
Seungmin opens his left eye first, and his right one after. He blinks a bit, his gaze wandering on Jeongin's face.
"Hi hyung", Jeongin whispers, "go back to sleep, okay?"
Seungmin huffs – and Jeongin has to suppress a smile at that. Seungmin looks adorable with his hair everywhere but neat, with small eyes and dried lips from the snoring.
"You promised.." the elder stirs around some more and moves towards the middle of the bed, his back on the mattress.
Jeongin swallows thickly and nods knowing. He sits up and crawls next to the other. "I'm sorry Hyung."
Jeongin lets his fingertips hover over Seungmin's hair hesitantly, before patting its head softly. Seungmin's eyes drift to closure again, comfortable at the touch of the younger.
He shuffles back under the covers as he hears Seungmin's steady exhale.
Seungmin is so pretty like this, Jeongin thinks. His cheeks look so soft and a bit of drool spills over his lips. His long lashes are resting prettily, while his eyelids twitch slightly. Seungmin is curled up above the covers; hands under his head while knees raised against his abdomen.
Jeongin mocked him sometimes for sleeping with nothing but underwear and socks – illegal in his opinion. Seungmin is a big baby with a broader body, while Jeongin is more dominant in a younger figure. They are opposites, that match each other.
Jeongin smiles unconsciously at all the memories together he thinks about, while gazing at his boyfriend.
"Innie?" The elder murmurs again suddenly, this time making Jeongin jump a little in his own skin.
"Yes hyung?"
Seungmin lays there with closed eyes, but sways an arm over Jeongin's shoulders. He shuffles a bit closer, just so he can feel the touch of Jeongin's body. "Love you"
It is in the moments like these that make Jeongin's heart warm the most. Raw domestic affection is everything to him, especially when both are tired and sleepy. He wants to stay like this forever, wants to assure Seungmin that he is always his top priority – his love of his life.
So Jeongin presses a breathy kiss against his lips; he stays a second or two. Seungmin doesn't reciprocate, but Jeongin can sense a twitch at the corner of his mouth. Then, he raises his head to plant another kiss against his temple. "Love you too, hyung", he whispers.
"Missed you" the elder replies, moving even closer and burying his nose in Jeongin's chest. Jeongin can feel Seungmin's heartbeat pulsing against his own, can feel the long exhales against the skin. For a moment, he wishes to have not worn his shirt, only so that he could feel even closer to him.
The sheets rustle as Jeongin moves his hand along Seungmin's back to his thigh and places it over his own hip. The elder happily hums a sound and continues to rest.
"I missed you too", he whispers with a clenched heart, while hugging Seungmin tighter to him. In circling motions, he drags his fingertips gently over the elder's bare back. It's only this way that the both of them can drift to dreamland; in each other's hold.
A/N: this was inspired by Jeongin's song Hug Me
