"So why did you guys call us over here?" Himchan raised a brow as him, Yongguk, Jongup, and Zelo were now sitting in Youngjae's teeny living room. "Don't tell me it's to brag about how you two finally got together?" Himchan rolled his eyes.
"Jealous?" Daehyun smirked as he snuggled closer to Youngjae, a small sniffle escaping him. He was still getting better from his fever.
"Pfft! Hardly." Himchan scoffed leaning against Yongguk with a victorious smirk on his face. Yongguk let out a small sigh, eyeing Youngjae apologetically. The younger returning the notion.
"Yah, let's conclude that the both of you are disgusting." Zelo sighed, not wanting front row seats to this love off.
"Please. I'd like to retain my eyesight as much as I can." Jongup shook his head in dismay.
"I don't know, Guppie, the way you've been eyeing Zelo is probably putting more strain on your eyes than we could ever do." Daehyun snickered, only to receive a whack on the head from Youngjae.
"Don't tease him. And don't act like you don't do the same, I swear to the Lord Almighty that you've been eyeing my ass everytime I turn around." Youngjae scolded.
"Not denying that," Daehyun smirked, leaning in with a sly grin on his face. "Honestly it just looks so f**-"
"Ack! Enough! There are children here!" Himchan shrieked, covering Zelo's ears to save his innocence. Zelo rolled his eyes. He could never understood why his hyungs treated him like such a baby. The kid was at least a head taller than everyone else. Zelo glanced over at Jongup to only see a bright smile on the man, a small chuckle escaping his lips at Zelo's hopeless situation.
"Though all of us are extremely happy that you actually have a potentially healthy relationship, Daehyun, why did you call us here?" Yongguk raised a brow, knowing that Daehyun was not the type to invite people over just to show off. Daehyun didn't care what people thought about his love life, it only mattered what he and his partner thought. And in all honestly, if Daehyun wanted to show off he would have probably made a steamy sex tape, not call for a brady bunch reunion.
Youngjae and Daehyun glanced at each other a bit before a wide grin spread on their face. "We found the culprit."
"Ah! Where do you think you're going!?" Youngjae crossed his arms, eyeing Daehyun from the doorway.
"Uh...nowhere?" Daehyun awkwardly chuckled, twiddling his thumbs to distract himself.
"You are not going back to work. You got that? You just freaking passed out yesterday!" Youngjae let out an exasperated sigh at Daehyun's foolishness. Youngjae basically had a small heart attack seeing Daehyun go limp in his arms, and he refused to let the other let him break himself down again. Or cause him dangerous heart palpitations.
"But my cute little nurse made me feel all better." Daehyun teased, gesturing Youngjae to come closer. The younger sighed, rolling his eyes as he approached. Daehyun gently tugged on Youngjae's arm, pulling him onto his lap. The elder snuggling into Youngjae's shoulder, inhaling his scent, ravishing in his warmth. He was addicted to it.
Youngjae let out a small chuckle at the action, gently running his fingers through Daehyun's hair. It was so funny that just a few hours ago they had transitioned from the state of friends to lovers, yet everything seemed so natural. As if Daehyun and him had been together for years. The simple touches, the warm gestures, everything seemed to fit lock and key. It was surprising given their personalities. But Youngjae enjoyed it, longed for this. He and Daehyun happy, laughing, being in each other's presence. What was the term everyone coined? Dating your best friend? Youngjae couldn't have said it any better.
