"jaebumie! look at this!" youngjae pulled the older's hoodie with a pout as the other rolled around to sleep more. shaking him, youngjae continued to pester him, but this time mumbling kisses against his jawline and neck; grinning and aware that it was working.

suddenly awake, jaebum pulled the younger boy underneath him and hovered his lips over the younger's, muttering an incoherent series of complains that youngjae was an extreme tease and that he loved him even more for that.

and as their lips sealed in another wave of kisses that sent shivers down both their spines — they broke away to catch a breath, panting as they tangled themselves into a heart clenching embrace with smiles on both their faces.

"what were you saying earlier?" jaebum murmured into the other's skin.

so distracted by the contact, youngjae stuttered only moments later, bringing up his phone as it opened on the fancafe page, "look at all these ahgases shipping us."

jaebum furrowed his eyebrows, "what's shipping?"

youngjae laughed and slapped the boy's shoulder playfully, "what century do you live in?" he shook his head, "shipping is basically when you pair people. like seeing them acting cute together and so you couple them in hopes that there's actually romance between them?"

"but mark and jinyoung act cute, they're not together."

the younger boy rolled his eyes, "for your information, markjin are beating us for the cutest ship title."

jaebum stared, "now what's markjin?"

youngjae couldn't help but burst into a another chorus of laughter that ached his stomach as he looked at the older boy's lost expression. "mark and jinyoung, markjin is their ship name," he explained.

with a continued confused face, jaebum was about to ask why a combination of two people's names' suddenly became a boat, but he shrugged off the thought away and asked instead, "what's our ship name?"

chuckling; the younger boy blushed, "it's 2jae."

drawling his lips into a small smile, jaebum snuggled into the other's warmth, "i like it," he murmured. "and so what do they do? what's the benefit of this so called term?"

rolling his eyes, youngjae mumbled, "have you never been a fanboy?" but then proceeded to list out the reality, "well mostly it's just pictures, or compilation videos. some fans actually make edits, and others write fantictions—"

"hold on— we were talking about boats and now people are writing books about us?"

another outburst of uncontrolled laughter broke from youngjae's side as jaebum pouted, "stop laughing and cuddle with me instead."

"if only ahgases knew you were such a softie."

"what do you mean?" jaebum wrapped his arms around the other's waist and brough him closer, running fingers through his hair.

"well, in fanfictions, you're always the bad-boy-cool-jb-awesome-hot-guy but—"

"are you saying that i'm not?" jaebum interrupted him.

youngjae smiled sheepishly at him, his hand caressing the older's cheek. "—you're like a human teddy bear, always trying to hold my hand and always begging for cuddles."

"—well let's see about that," jaebum suddenly pushed the younger boy's back onto their shared mattress and littered his neck with lovebites as youngjae grew weak beneath his touch.

their arms ran in a humble mess as they deepened the kiss with lips moving against each other like it was meant to be this way from the very beginning.

"now you're just being needy," youngjae laughed as they broke away for a mere moment.

"well what can i do when you drive me crazy?" the older boy whispered.

smiling a flustered smile as their lips were brushing against one another, youngjae whispered, "i love you."

"i love you too," jaebum's heart was beating just as fast as always, "and i don't care how many more years we'll have to hide it from everyone — but i will never, never ever, stop loving you."

"and no matter what happens, i won't stop loving you either. never, never ever."

they sealed their promises with another kiss.
