"This is not how I pictured it," Hoseok announces.
Kihyun arches an eyebrow at him from his place in Hoseok's lap.
"You lost," he says. "It was your idea to make punishments sexual."
Hoseok looks to his left, then right. Yup, his wrists are still tied to the bedpost, he didn't imagine it. He squirms a bit. Kihyun still hasn't gotten around to undressing his pants, but probably for the first time in his life, he feels strangely exposed without his shirt on.
Okay, he admits he did lose. He's not sure when they started this betting war between them, but remembers very clearly the moment he suggested the punishments should stop being embarrassing and start being explicit.
The last bet was really all Minhyuk's fault. He had to go and brag about his study date and make Kihyun competitive. Hoseok isn't capable of refusing Kihyun and that's how it went. He was maybe five minutes in, on a good way to convincing one of the girls from his econ class to help him out over coffee when Kihyun texted him he's got it. Hoseok was so surprised by the record time, he completely ignored the girl and ran to make sure Kihyun isn't bluffing. And unless the guy Kihyun scored in three minutes is a really good actor, Kihyun didn't cheat.
"It was a bet," Kihyun told him without any preamble. "You still wanna go over that English notes on Friday?"
The guy agreed, seemingly too stunned to think of a more intelligent reply than 'yeah, sure'. Hoseok didn't want to acknowledge the spike of jealousy that attacked him, so he decided to focus on planning his punishment.
It's Saturday now and Hoseok asked Kihyun half an hour ago how that study date actually went.
"Boring," Kihyun said uninterestingly. "I told him that's it, but we decided it's fine to borrow notes from each other from time to time."
And that was how Hoseok settled down finally. Until Kihyun tied him to the bed, that is.
They're not even in a relationship or anything. Hoseok has known Kihyun's gay since the first time they saw each other two years before, when Kihyun came into his dorm room and declared they'll be living together, if his sexual orientation doesn't bother Hoseok. Until Kihyun, Hoseok was a hundred percent sure he's straight. Kihyun didn't question it, because why would he, but then Hoseok had to go and blurt out that it would be interesting to spice up their usual bets a little bit. All he was met with were raised eyebrows and a careful question of what it actually means. Hoseok shrugged and said it's just punishments, trying for casual, even though his heart was beating three times faster. Kihyun agreed.
Hoseok has no idea when simple curiosity turned into a serious crush, but it happened, and Kihyun doesn't know. They're just roommates who have become close friends and at some point started betting on almost everything.
"You've seriously never done anything with a guy?" Kihyun asks, eyeing him cautiously.
Recently, he's started to wear lenses that make his eyes look like honey. Hoseok admits to himself that gaze makes him a bit weak.
"I was kissed by a classmate in high school," he says and smirks cheekily. "No one can resist me, apparently."
Kihyun rolls his eyes.
"I meant sex, idiot," he says, shifting in Hoseok's lap to open the nightstand and take out lube. "Let me rephrase that. Have you ever had anything shoved up your ass?"
"So romantic," Hoseok laughs, even though he's nervous as hell.
He already agreed to it, though, he can't back out now. Kihyun raises an eyebrow again.
