prompt(s) - gentle praise of the body

Vernon's pov.
It's been a few minutes since practice ended and we were all exhausted. It's an understatement to say that today was tiring and rough, to say the least it was a hard day.

We had a couple interviews this morning, a photo shoot for our next comeback, we had to film a dance practice video for God Of Music and we had regular practice for 5 gruelling hours. Again, to say today was tiring would be an understatement.

Me and Mingyu were sitting together on the small leather couch in the corner of the room, him laying on my shoulder as I look through Twitter.

I smile down at him as I see the other members leave the room, Joshua signalling to me to get him up so we can get home. "Honey, let's get up now.." I whisper in his ear. He hums softly and starts to sit up as I gather out stuff from beside the firm couch, leaving the room a few seconds later, hand-in-hand.

.

On the drive home, me and Mingyu sat in the back of the van, him practically dragging me there so we could be alone. It's also a bit quieter in the back considering the more energetic members usually sit in the middle playing video games and music. My sleepy boyfriend rested his head on my shoulder as I began massaging his thigh lightly, knowing his muscles always get tense after practice.

We got home after a half hour car ride filled with SNSD and Orange Caramel, each of us climbing out of the car with the songs playing on repeat in our heads, not mad at it, though.

I took my shoes off as everyone scattered around the dorm. It was about 9pm now, Joshua and Minghao going to the kitchen to heat up some leftovers for everyone. Though I wasn't very hungry, I decided to just get a couple protein bars for me and Mingyu. I knew the boy was exhausted and I don't blame him. And though it is very important to eat after practice, I simply don't have the energy, considering I still have to shower and get ready to actually sleep.

.

Once I open the door to our shared room, I spot Mingyu changing, taking his baggy shirt off with a grunt as his shoulders protested.

I couldn't help but stare for a few seconds before he caught me standing in the doorway, questioning me with a look or confusion. "Sorry, I zoned out for a second" was the short answer I gave him. I walked into the room and closed the door, bringing the few protein bars and couple Celsius drinks to our night stand. We never actually end up eating the snacks we bring to our room, but we weren't really up for eating, as I mentioned before anyways.

I turned off the large light and grabbed the LED remote, turning the colour to a soft gold-orange colour. Our room was decorated with vines, posters, many blankets on our shared queen sized bed, leafy flowers planted in deep green pots, random pictures from Pinterest hung up with crappy tape and staples, candles, collectables, and tapestry's. It was cozy and comforting, just like Mingyu.

I walk up behind him as he stood scrolling on his phone as I fixed the lights. I wrap my arms around his slim waist, resting the palms of my hands on his sculpted abs which made him tense up a bit.

I kiss his tense shoulders and leave little love bites, making sure to kiss every little freckle and every scar that only I knew was there. I loved showing love to him physically. Not in a sexual way, but in a slow, comforting, gentle way. A way that will make him feel comforted and calm for the night upon us.

"You wanna take a shower baby?" I say softly to him, kissing the back of his neck as he nods softly.

.

After our shower, we both got changed and did our skincare. I was wearing basketball shorts and a thin white graphic t-shirt, and Mingyu was wearing a black tank top and some red baggy sweats.

I walk out of the bathroom last, making sure I've done all of my skincare as I have an extensive routine that everyone shits on me for (me projecting rn).

I grab my favourite moisturizer from under the sink and quietly close the bathroom door, walking over to our bed where Mingyu has been scrolling mindlessly on social media. I sit next to him and begin applying the thick, yet soft body lotion to my elbows and knees. "You want some bubba?" I question him, earning a sleepy nod.

I motion for him to come over to me, tapping my lap so he could get the queue.

He lays down with his head on my lower stomach as I'm laying on an angle against our mountain of pillows. I let him get comfortable before lifting up the bottom of his thin tank top and let the bunched up fabric rest on his upper back.

I begin to apply small amounts of the lotion on his freshly cleaned skin, massaging it lightly as I know his lower back gets sore easily.

I continue for a few minutes before I slowly come to a stop, earning a small groan from him. I giggle quietly, "why don't you take off your top honey, I can trace your back, how about that hm?" He hums and slowly sat up taking his top off. I slowly run my hand over his abs making them contract a little bit, "you're sore huh.." he nods and lays back down on my lap.

I take one of my hands and gently place it on his back, I could feel him instantly get goosebumps. "I guess my hands are a bit cold from the lotion.." I whisper earning another small, sleepy nod from my baby.

I start tracing small shapes and patters on his back, gently running over his shoulders a bit with my fingertips. I go up and down his sides making him sometimes tense up, but I keep doing it because even though he's sensitive, he loves when I do this.

I bring my other hand to his neck and play with the small hairs at the back, making him snuggle into my tummy more.

"Goodnight baby, I love you. You worked hard today, yea?" He nods, "g'night" he mumbles.
