iki

they'd returned from the cafe hours ago. when they did, renjun had wanted to watch a movie. emphasis on the "a movie." jaemin had complied but didn't realize that they'd watch four movies - two horror, one comedy, one thriller.

so that's how they ended up where they are right now: cuddling, jaemin squished into the back of the couch and renjun in front on him hogging all the room. their legs were somewhat tangled together, jaemin had his arm around renjun's torso and renjuns arm underneath the pillow they were sharing. jaemin would sometimes try to remove his arm but as soon as he did a clingy and affectionate renjun would pull it right back and forcefully put it back around him. jaemin didn't mind too much, only when his arm started to fall asleep.

with the fifth movie was right at it's climax, renjun had been biting his nails in anticipation. jaemin hadn't focused on the last two movies, he focused on the real thing in front of him. renjun. jaemin didn't need to watch the movie to figure out what was happening, all he needed was to watch renjun. renjun would either talk about what would be happening or show it on his face. whatever it was, jaemin knew.

when the horror movies would come on jaemin would see renjun talking out loud to the actors, or when they got killed he would fidget. jaemin loved those parts because renjun would push closer to him. when they watched the comedy jaemin's gaze never left renjun. jaemin looked at the smile on renjun's face whenever he would laugh, or the way his nose would crinkle when he didn't like a joke. jaemin especially loved watching renjun when he would laugh so hard to the point where he would start crying. the way he wiped his eyes, or how he would shake if he laughed too much. jaemin loved watching everything and anything renjun would do.

coming to the close of the last movie renjun had turned so he faced jaemin, just almost making their foreheads touch.

"jesus jaemin, next time tell me you have this much room. i can move over."

"no, i didn't want to move. i'm actually pretty comfy and you looked like you were enjoying yourself so i wasn't going to interrupt."

"well isn't that sweet of you but seriously you look very uncomfortable." renjun had scooted closer to the edge of the couch, making jaemin scoot closer to him. which meant making jaemin hold him tighter so they wouldn't fall off.

"can we watch one more movie minnie? i'm tired but not sleep tired if you get that?"

"i don't understand what the hell you just said, but sure junnie. just one more."

renjun smiled as he turned away like before and pushed even closer to jaemin.

renjun had gone through a dozen or more so movies and couldn't choose one, jaemin could tell he was getting angry because he was watching the expression changes on renjun's faces.

"just put on a classic or something, like train to busan. we haven't watched that one yet."

"i can't stand another horror."

"please junnie."

renjun glared back at jun before searching for the movie, he really didn't want to watch another horror movie but if it was for jaemin it was worth it.

halfway through the movie renjun had turned to face jaemin and put his head on jaemin's chest. renjun snuggled close into the boy. jaemin still had his arm draped around renjun so he initially pulled him closer.

hearing the light snores come from renjun made jaemin crane his neck to look a him. jaemin had seen every feature: the very faint smile on renjun's face, the way he'd move his eyebrows and the way his body would sometimes jolt. jaemin smiled before he turned off the tv and rested his head on renjun's. putting a hand in renjun's hair he started playing with it, just cautiously running his fingers through.

not even ten minutes later, the pair were both snoring. heads rested against each other, arms tangles around the other.
