"Good morning, sunshine!"

Jisung groaned groggily and nestled further into his warm duvet as Chenle tugged open his curtains to let in the sunlight.

"Chenle, please" he rasped out, shielding his eyes with one hand.

"Jisung" Chenle stood firmly in front of him, arms crossed across his chest "It's gone lunchtime, you have to get up before Renjun eats you alive"

"I'm not even hungry" Jisung whined "Please, Chenle my head is throbbing"

"Who told you to go crazy at the bar" the elder snorted, tugging back the covers "I think you spent a mini fortune on alcohol last night. Jeno had to carry you over his shoulder out of the club it was hilarious"

Jisung grumbled as he was reminded of the previous night, Yangyang's hands wrapped round Chenle's tiny waist as they danced and laughed together.

"Jisunggg" Chenle tugged weakly at his wrist in an effort to uproot him from the bed but was unsuccessful needless to say "Wake up!"

"No" Jisung frowned. He really hated Yangyang.

"Right, what's up?" Chenle sighed, giving in and getting under the covers beside the younger "You've been in a mood since last night. Don't you dare say nothing"

Jisung attempted to look away but Chenle grabbed his chin, forcing him to make eye contact.

"Jisung" he warned and the youngers knees went weak.

"I was dancing with you last night" he mumbled, blushing furiously "And then Yangyang just....stole you"

There was a short pause before Chenle burst out laughing, making Jisung's face fall.

"Chenle!" he whined, gently shoving the elder "Stop laughing at me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I swear" he gasped, wiping his tears "You're just so silly sometimes"

"I hate you" Jisung grumbled, beginning to turn over.

"No, no, no wait!" Chenle giggled weakly, grabbing the youngers wrists so he couldn't turn away "It's just- Is that really what had you in your feelings?"

"Yes, Chenle" Jisung huffed "Why's that funny?"

"Because I'd choose to dance with you over Yangyang every time if I knew that was what you wanted"

Jisung felt his heart squeeze in his chest and he was suddenly very aware of the fact that Chenle's face was only a breath away from his, every single individual lash around his alluring eyes visible.

"Really?" he whispered.

"Yes, idiot" Chenle giggled, sliding his hand up from his wrist to entangle their fingers together "You're my best friend"

Jisung's heart clenched in his chest and he felt his new-found good mood dissipate like steam.

But he'd take best friend if it meant he could be in Chenle's orbit.
