Healing Hearts with Hia (JimmySea fanfic)

Whispers and Understanding

As Sea headed to the bathroom, Book watched him go, a thoughtful expression on his face. Once Sea was out of earshot, he turned to Force. "Honey, how big could their misunderstanding be, to need such a long conversation overnight?" he murmured.

While stirring noodles in the pot, Force looked up and smirked at Book's puzzled expression. "Do you really believe it's as straightforward as he claims?" Force asked, sliding his other hand around Book's waist.

Book furrowed his brows in confusion. "What are you getting at?"

Force summarized Sea's story: "Sea met a friend at the club. They wanted to talk, so they took a taxi to a hotel and spent the whole night chatting."

Book nodded, still not quite catching on to Force's point. "Yeah, and? What's wrong with that?"

Force chuckled softly. "Talk all night in a hotel... while tipsy?" he repeated slowly, emphasizing each word for effect. Book paused, his eyes widening as the implications sank in.

Force leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a sultry whisper, "Picture this, Mochi," he began, his eyes glinting with mischief. "If we were alone in a hotel room, just a little tipsy, I'd choose action over conversation..."

Book quickly placed a hand over Force's mouth, silencing him. Force paused, his smirk growing as he gently removed Book's hand. Leaning in even closer, his breath warm against Book's skin, he asked, "Have you figured it out yet, my love?"

Book lightly pushed Force on the chest. "Behave yourself, Sea is around."

Force smiled as he stole a kiss from Book's lips. Blushing, Book lightly hit Force on the chest. "Ai, Force!"

Force smirked and shifted his focus back to the pot he was cooking, stealing a quick glance towards the direction of the toilet before resuming their conversation. "Our nong is really wild."

Book giggled and playfully nudged Force with his elbow. "Guess we underestimated him," he said, his voice tinged with both pride and amusement

Force tightened his grip around Book's waist, drawing him closer. "Well, at least he's safe now. And it seems like things worked out between him and his friend," he said, his tone softening.

Book nodded, nestling into Force's embrace. "Yeah. I hope this really is the beginning of something good for him."

Force kissed the top of Book's head, a tender gesture that conveyed both his love for Book and his concern for Sea. "It will be," he assured, his voice filled with quiet confidence.
