BloodBound Trinity

The evening had grown late, and the unease Seonghwa felt earlier had finally started to settle. Despite the lingering shadows of his past, there was one thing he could always count on to make everything feel right again: his boyfriends.

As the three of them remained curled up on the couch, Seonghwa found himself craving more than just their usual closeness. He needed to be held, to be surrounded by the warmth and comfort only San and Hongjoong could give him. He shifted slightly, resting his head on San’s shoulder, his voice barely above a whisper.

Seonghwa: "I want cuddles..."

San smiled immediately, pulling Seonghwa closer and wrapping an arm around his shoulders.

San: "Of course, baby. Come here."

Hongjoong, hearing Seonghwa’s soft plea, smirked and moved over to join them. He had always loved these moments when Seonghwa let down his walls completely and showed his more vulnerable side.

Hongjoong: (teasing) "You want to be spoiled, don’t you?"

Seonghwa blushed slightly but didn’t deny it. He tucked himself further into San’s embrace, feeling the tension melt away. San kissed the top of his head, his hold tightening.

Seonghwa: (murmuring) "I just… want to be close to you both."

Hongjoong’s teasing softened into something more affectionate. He reached over, gently running his fingers through Seonghwa’s hair.

Hongjoong: "You know we love spoiling you, right? You don’t even have to ask."

Seonghwa smiled, feeling that familiar warmth of safety wrap around him. San shifted slightly, pulling Seonghwa fully into his lap, while Hongjoong nestled against Seonghwa’s side, completing the circle of affection.

San: (softly) "You’re always safe with us, Hwa. We’ll take care of you."

Seonghwa closed his eyes, letting himself be completely surrounded by their love. It was in moments like these that he didn’t have to be the strong one, the leader. He could just be Seonghwa—the one who loved to be held by his boyfriends, the one who loved their quiet moments more than anything else.

Hongjoong brushed his thumb across Seonghwa’s cheek, leaning in to kiss his forehead.

Hongjoong: "You’re our baby. Always will be."

Seonghwa couldn’t help but laugh softly, the sound muffled as he burrowed closer into San’s chest. San chuckled along with him, resting his chin on Seonghwa’s head.

Seonghwa: (playfully) "I’m not always a baby..."

Hongjoong grinned, resting his hand on Seonghwa’s waist.

Hongjoong: (teasing) "Oh, really? Because right now, you’re the biggest baby I’ve ever seen."

Seonghwa’s blush deepened, but he didn’t protest. The truth was, he loved these moments—being the center of their attention, knowing that his boyfriends loved him enough to make him feel like the most important person in the world.

San: (smiling) "And we love you just like that, Hwa. Baby or not."

Seonghwa didn’t say anything, just melted further into their embrace, letting out a content sigh. This was his safe space, his home. No matter how dark the world became, no matter what shadows from the past tried to creep in, nothing could take this away from him.

He had San and Hongjoong, and they had him. Together, they were stronger than anything that could come their way. And right now, all that mattered was that Seonghwa was being spoiled by the two people who loved him most.

As the night continued, the three of them stayed wrapped in each other’s arms, Seonghwa happily drifting off to sleep, his boyfriends holding him close.
