Things in me Pt.2 (MarkNoMin)

So there was a lot to unpack in this and I still feel like there is more to the story so I will do a part 3

Jaemin sits frozen in his spot, even after Mark leaves. Jeno is trying to comfort him but he's not really getting through.
"Babe, come on let's go shower and go to bed. It's late." Jeno manages to get him off the bed to guide him to the shower. When they step under the warm spray Jaemin lets himself go as he clutches to Jeno's chest and sobs violently. Jeno just holds him while placing soft kisses on his shoulder, neck and face until he calms.
"Come on, let's wash ourselves clean of this whole night." Jeno says as he grabs the shampoo and gently washes Jaemin's hair.
"I love you so much baby. What he thinks doesn't matter." Jaemin tries to give a smile but it looks more like a grimace.
Jeno washes him all over, then washes himself. Normally this would be a sweet thing they would do for each other but Jaemin just can't function.

After drying him and helping him into some boxers and a t-shirt, Jeno grabs his face and kisses his lips.
"Let's go to sleep honey." Jeno says softly. He watches as Jaemin turns to look at their bed with a frown.
"In the guest room tonight baby." Jaemin nods and grabs his hand with barely any grip to lead him to the bed.
Jeno holds him tightly, telling him how lovely and sweet he is. Doing everything in his power to make him feel better. Eventually Jaemin falls asleep and he lays there listening to his slow breathing as he can't sleep himself.

Over the next week Jaemin is trying to put on that he is better but Jeno notices how he doesn't eat properly, how he has no motivation for anything and his previously insatiable appetite for sex is at literal zero. Not that Jeno cares about that, but he knows it's not Jaemin.
"Sweetheart, you should eat some more. You barely touched that." Jeno says as he watches Jaemin get up to scrape his plate.
"I'm just not that hungry babe, it's not serious." Jeno frowns and gets up to scrape his own half eaten plate.
"It is to me. Above anything else, comes your health and safety and you've hardly eaten all week. He's not worth your sadness Jaemin. He's an asshole." Jaemin shakes his head as he starts to cry.
"It's not just about him, it's about our friends too. You know they probably really think we are freaks right? They pretend it's no big deal but who knows what they say behind our backs? But Mark he was special. I wanted more than just one night with him and I know you did too. I know you felt that too." Jeno sighs.
"I did, but we can't change who he is. And he's a dick." Jaemin nods.
"I suppose he is but I just feel so exposed. So raw, like everyone in the world is judging me for this." Jeno sighs again.
"Baby, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It's you and me, we're the only ones that matter in this. Let them judge, let them be pricks. In the end, for me, it's your heart baby. You have the biggest heart and so much to share. You bring light to so many around you, my life, would be dark without you, and that persons opinion really doesn't matter at all." Jaemin wipes his eyes, this time happy tears.
"I love you so goddamn much Jeno Lee." Jeno smiles and pulls Jaemin close by his waist, resting their foreheads together.
"I love you so much more sweetheart." Jaemin smiles into their kiss.

It's two weeks later when Chenle calls and invites them out to watch Mark sing again.
"No, we don't want to. Jaemin isn't up to it." Jeno says firmly.
"Oh come on, was the sex that bad?" Chenle jokes. Jeno frowns but looks over at a giggly Jaemin sitting next to him on the couch and raises his brow, muting the call.
"What's so funny babe?" Jaemin shakes his head.
"I think we should go. Let him see that, in the end, he didn't break me, or us." Jeno nods.
"Are you sure?" Jaemin pecks his cheek.
"Yes, let's dress extra sexy and show him that we aren't bothered." Jeno shrugs and unmutes the call.
"I guess we will go. Jaemin says he's feeling up to it." Chenle chuckles.
"Good, can't wait to hear all the juicy details." Jeno rolls his eyes as he hangs up.

"I think maybe I'll need a warm up this time puppy." Jaemin says with a pout. Jeno smirks.
"Oh yeah? What kind of warm up are we talking?" Jaemin bites his shoulder, just enough to sting a little, before licking over it gently.
"I've been distant, sexually with you because of that night and I want, no I need to feel how much you love me." Jeno frowns and kisses his cheek.
"If this is about guilt, it isn't necessary. I understand and I'm not upset, although I have missed you like crazy." Jaemin leans in, his kiss soft, even as he takes Jeno's bottom lips between his teeth and pulls back slightly. He lets it go and licks into his mouth with a purpose.
"This isn't about that at all. I've been aching to touch you, and for you to touch me. I just want my husband to make love to me." He says ever so gently. Jeno searches his eyes, and all he sees is pure love and adoration.
"As you wish my fair princess." He whispers onto his lips before connecting them once again.
