Aurora - You are my light (Ateez x reader)

TWENTYSEVEN 🌶

Content warning: A little smut never hurt nobody ;)

The next morning, Elaria left early to tend to her patients, promising to finish her shift sooner than usual so we could celebrate our last evening together.

I spent the morning packing my things. As I folded my clothes and stuffed my books into my bags, tears streamed incessantly down my cheeks. As much as I loved the guys, this farewell was going to be hard.

Suddenly, my room door swung open, startling me as I sat on the floor with my clothes scattered around. I whipped my head around to see Yeosang standing hesitantly in the doorway. Seeing him, I felt caught and quickly wiped my tears away with the sleeve of my blouse. "Can't you knock?" I snapped at him more harshly than I intended.

He looked at me, stricken. "I'm sorry, I did knock several times, but you didn't respond." He stood awkwardly in the doorway, his eyes filled with pity and concern, making fresh tears well up in mine.

"Yeosang," I whispered from my spot on the floor, looking at him with a mix of sadness and expectation. I didn't need to say more; he swiftly crossed the room and knelt in front of me. He cupped my face in his beautiful hands and looked at me intensely. There was no need to ask what was wrong-it was obvious. He simply pulled me into a tight embrace, stroking my back soothingly as I wept against his chest. I had no idea how long we sat there, but eventually, my tears dried up, and I felt drained from all the crying. Gently, Yeosang wiped away the last of my tears with his fingers, his dark eyes gazing into mine. "Is there anything I can do for you?" God, I had missed him so much, and this moment made it painfully clear.

Without thinking, I kissed him hard, our lips crashing together. He was taken by surprise, losing his balance and falling backward, landing on his back. I took advantage of the situation, straddling him and leaning down to kiss him again, this time with a desperate passion. I felt he was the perfect distraction for my tumultuous emotions and deepened the kiss.

Carefully, my lips traced along his neck, sucking on his sensitive skin. He cursed softly under his breath. "Love," he murmured, his eyes half-closed. I continued kissing him, increasing the pressure on his neck, sucking and nibbling as my hips ground more fervently against his. It felt empowering to take the lead for once.

"Hmm, love," he groaned, his hands gripping my hips tightly, holding me still over his lap. So much for taking the lead. I continued kissing him, my lips moving back to his, capturing them passionately. He gasped into the kiss.

"Aurora!" The sternness in his voice made me pause and break the kiss. I looked down at him, confused.

"Damn, as much as I like where this is going, you're not yourself right now." He lifted me off him effortlessly and sat up across from me, never breaking eye contact. He adjusted himself subtly to better conceal his obvious arousal, but there was no denying it-I had felt it throbbing beneath me.

"We have plenty of time for all that," he said, gesturing vaguely to the spot where we had just been lying. "Well, maybe with the small exception that next time, you'll be the one under me." He grinned suggestively.

He cupped my face in his hands and gave me a warm kiss on the lips. "Let me just be here for you today." He looked at me questioningly, and I nodded. He was right; I was an emotional wreck, and Yeosang was too much of a gentleman to take advantage of the situation. He was truly one of a kind.

"I thought we could go to the stables? You wanted me to read Dreamcatcher's thoughts for you." He stroked my cheek lovingly.

That was something I had completely forgotten in all the chaos. "You have time for that?"

He nodded in response.

I threw my arms around his neck again, this time more cautiously, without knocking him over. "Thank you, Yeosang, that means so much to me," I mumbled into the crook of his neck, and he smiled softly, pulling me close.
