Sunshine | 2Jae

Chapter 31

The two were cuddling on the sofa. Youngjae had his head on the other's chest and one arm wrapped around his waist. Jaebum gladly was the younger's pillow and played with his hair which was still wet from the water fight they had.

Jeabum could have only dreamed of being in this position nine years ago and now that finally was, it wasn't like he had imagined it.

It was better.

Holding the younger in his arms did fill him with such a happiness that he was afraid his heart would burst any moment but there was something else too. The sudden urge to protect the man in his arms from any possible harm made Jeabum never want to let go of him.

"What are you thinking about?", Youngjae mumbled, playing with the hem of JB's shirt.

"About you", Jaebum said and softly kissed his head. Youngjae giggled and lightly smacked his chest.

"Who knew you could be such a sap"

Jaebum rolled his eyes but couldn't fight the small smile from forming on his face.

"I'm not a sap"

"Sure you are", Youngjae mumbled and snuggled even closer to Jaebum.

There was still an open question none of them really knew the answer to though.

What were they?

But they could talk about that later, now they just wanted to enjoy the moment while it lasted.

"This feels nice", Jaebum said after another ten minutes, Youngjae hummed in agreement.

They didn't say much more and after a while Youngjae stopped playing with the shirt. Jaebum looked down at him and saw the the other's eyes were closed. He had fallen asleep.

Gentle as to not wake the younger, Jaebum stood up and held the younger around his upper body before he picked him up. He wrapped the other's arms around his neck who unconsciously tightened their grip and JB put his hands on his legs, carrying the other to his bedroom.

Once he quickly opened the door he laid the younger down on his bed and went to put the blanket over whim. As Youngjae was neatly tucked into bed he brushed his hair that had gotten quite long out of his face and admired the what he supposed was the sleeping male. He wanted to kiss him desperately as his eyes wandered down to the younger's beautiful lips but didn't. He could wait till Youngjae was awake and able to tell him if he could kiss him or not.

With a fond smile he wanted to make his way out but something, or more like someone, held him in place.

"Stay", Youngjae whispered and pulled JB on his wrist lightly. He let go and shuffled around in his bed, patting the empty space he had now created next to him.

"Are you sure? I can sleep on the sofa too"

Youngjae shook his head and JB didn't want to miss the opportunity to sleep next to the younger. He didn't bother with his clothes since Youngjae still had his on too and slipped into the covers, making sure to have a bit of space between them.

"You didn't have a problem cuddling not twenty minutes ago", Youngjae grumbled and rolled to his side so that his back was now facing JB. He was confused why JB acted to shy around him now, did he regret kissing him? Was Jaebum uncomfortable?
