chasing lights

13 | all of me

They walk side by side, hands holding onto one another as they swing slightly between their bodies. It feels surreal almost, especially considering they started this journey together and were pretty much alone as well until Chan came along and decided to be very present in their daily lives. Though Jisung minds his existence a lot less by now, he is also still very much not used to feeling like some young girl who is pining after whatever kind of guy she deems perfect at the time. The entirety of spending time all alone with Minho now after everything that happened between them is just... he has no words to describe it, really. Not yet, at least. Maybe one day.

They can hear the faint sound of music in the distance when they are closer to their destination, both of them already excited to check the place out, see what Jeongin meant when he told them about how artistic and charming the small town is. The walk there is not too long either. But Minho and Jisung still managed to talk a little, mainly with Jisung talking about how he does not remember ever meeting his parents or knowing where exactly he came from either. All he knew as a kid was the orphanage and his two brothers who very quickly became his only family. He tells Minho all sorts of stories of them growing up together or of how they left the place as soon as Jisung, then Seungmin and finally Jeongin were old enough to do so.

They very quickly realized that life is an absolute bitch, ended up poor as shit on the streets and joined some gang that taught them all they needed to know about getting by on stealing. Jisung was the most promising from the start, pickpocketing and secretly putting some money aside until the boys had saved up enough to run away and move on to the next kingdom, leaving the gang behind completely. It is where Jisung very quickly learned from women on the streets how willing people were to exchange information for certain services or activities and despite Seungmin and Jeongin warning him repeatedly, telling him to be careful, he still ended up asking the next best stranger at the tavern to take his virginity so he would be prepared for any possible future purpose of his body.

He never took money for it though. Not that he judged any of the women on the street, but he also knew he would not really want to sell himself if he was not interested in the guys he was doing it with at all. Two birds with one stone, a few stupid mistakes later and Jisung and his brothers knew they could not keep themselves hidden forever. Not like they had been doing for a while at that point at least. They saved up, had Jisung bend some nobleman over a table in an inn while his brothers raided the guy's belongings for the last bit of money they needed and that is when they moved on to the next kingdom once again. They decided to stay in this one, ended up building a total of fours hideouts in different parts of the kingdom and are mainly getting by like that now.

"So you switch? Are not just bottoming?", Minho had asked when he told him about the low rank noble he fucked that one time and Jisung laughed, grinned smugly afterwards and of course, teased him right afterwards when he stepped closer, stopping them for a moment to reach around with his free hand and grab Minho's ass, getting a surprised little sound in return.

"Have done both and could do both if you really wanted me to, but I don't necessarily like topping much.", he said, teasingly glided his fingers along the fabric of Minho's best pair of pants, letting them dance on the older's hip. "Feels better to be on the receiving end and there's some kind of extra satisfying thing about making a top fall apart inside of me. I like to be full. Especially when it's you I'm full of, honey."

Then he teasingly booped Minho's nose with his own, pulled back and dragged the still very stunned young man back on the road, immediately distracting him by asking about his own upbringing.

So Minho told him. Spent pretty much the entire rest of the way just telling Jisung about how the only place he had ever been in was the tower. Told him about how his father taught him to read, write, do anything to be a proper human as the man had called it. Minho thinks it was probably to prepare him for a future his dad kept promising him to one day be feasible, as well as the fact that his father wanted to have normal human interactions with his son anyway.
