good morning ▸ todae

♡

After months of grueling practices, endless dance rehearsals, and countless hours in the studio, Yang Hyun-suk has given BIGBANG a rare day off to relax and recuperate before their upcoming tour. Jiyong, Youngbae, and Seungri have already left the dorm by the time Seunghyun awakes and makes his way to the kitchen to find something easy to cook for himself and Dae. He doesn’t plan on going all out on breakfast today. Days off are a rarity that he treasures – especially when he knows that he can spend them alone with Daesung.

It is an unspoken fact that Seunghyun and Daesung have grown extremely close to one another recently. The other members of the band haven’t failed to notice this. The three of them have discussed it in hushed voices among themselves when the other two weren’t close by – though it’s not like Tabi and Dae would’ve noticed. They wouldn’t have noticed if they were being gossiped about even if they were in the same room with said gossipers. Lately, they’ve become far too wrapped up in their own little world to be aware of their surroundings. They could physically be surrounded by all of their friends and family, but in their minds, they’d be too focused on one another to notice that anyone else was even in the same room.

Despite their lack of understanding, the rest of the group has decided to not give it much thought until it begins to affect their work ethic – but it doesn’t seem like that will happen anytime soon. Wherever Seunghyun is, Daesung is right by his side, events and all.

After heating up a container of takeout food that Tabi deems big enough for the two of them, he pitter-patters his way back into the room that he now shares with Dae. He opens the door as quietly as possible, thankful that it doesn’t creak and awake his love. He can’t help but pause for a few moments in the doorway, an adoring smile upon his face and a nearly inaudible “aww” escaping his lips as he looks at Daesung sprawled lazily on his back across his bed, fast asleep. Loud – but to T.O.P., adorable – snores fill the room as he shuts the door behind him and makes his way over to settle next to the other boy on the bed. He sets the container on the dresser and moves to crawl on top of Daesung, delicately straddling the boy’s waist and leaning down to give his nose a light peck.

“Daesungie,” he sings in a deep and quiet tone. The boy beneath him merely sniffles and continues his snoring pattern, still deep in his slumber.  

“Always making things so difficult,” Tabi whispers, his tone hinting that he was anything but annoyed with his sleeping boy. He knows that he’s been working harder than the rest of them and decides to take this rare time to rediscover the beautiful features he originally fell in love with.

Love has blinded him to the physical imperfections that many find in Daesung – not that Tabi ever looked down upon him before. But now that he’s in love, he’s able to fully appreciate the abnormal beauty that Dae possesses.

Seunghyun finds himself reaching down to dance his fingertips delicately along the bump of Daesung’s nose, a smirk playing along his lips when the younger boy doesn’t react to the barely-there touch. He’s been completely worn out lately, which Tabi definitely appreciates right now.

He ghosts his fingers along Dae’s nose for a few more moments before gliding them down to his lower lip. His gaze falls to the full curve of the pouted skin there, slightly parted and breathing lightly onto Tabi’s roaming fingers. Instinctively, he sucks gently on his own lower lip and finds himself leaning forward, his eyes flicking up to Dae’s closed ones and deciding that he can steal a kiss from the boy before he wakes up.

After being gentle enough so that he doesn’t wake him and locking the memory of his beautiful, vulnerable boyfriend into his memories, T.O.P. decides that it’s really time for Daesung to wake up.

He lightly shakes the other boy’s shoulder, earning a few grumbled protests and mumbled “just 5 more minutes” before Daesung finally gives in with a groan and slowly moves underneath the boy to sit up. With Seunghyun refusing to move from his straddling position, their faces are only inches apart as Daesung stretches his stiff muscles with a loud and airy yawn. “Ugh, you’re lucky I love you,” Seunghyun complains jokingly, leaning back to make a fanning motion with his hand as if Daesung’s morning breath is too much for him to handle.

Daesung rolls his eyes in response and throws the boy straddling his lap a goofy, sleepy smile, crooked front teeth showing and all. He ignores the older boy’s complaint as he wraps his arms tightly around him and pulls close to give him a proper good morning kiss.

“Mmm, you know you love it, Tabi,” Daesung hums against his lips. He feels the older boy smirk against him and can practically feel the blush radiating from his skin. Daesung leans back to find Tabi smiling his stupid, dimply grin, looking impossibly handsome with his messy locks pointing in every direction and his frame being swallowed by a too-large white tee.

Daesung knows he would find himself envious of T.O.P.’s natural beauty if he wasn’t able to fully experience it for himself. He still gets chills when he thinks about the first night that Seunghyun had snuck into his bed to cuddle, or the first time they kissed, or the first time they went all the way with each other. The latter night may have been full of nervous laughter, clumsy limbs, and too-sloppy kisses, but it was still enough to bring a heated flush to Daesung’s face that now matched his partner’s.

“What are you thinking so hard about?” Seunghyun asks lowly as he presses his forehead to Daesung’s, his eyes closed in content and his breath fanning over his boyfriend’s full lips.

The younger boy stalls for a moment as he closes his eyes and tries to even his breath again. “The first time you made love to me,” he confesses quietly, his voice wavering towards the end as T.O.P. gives him a gentle squeeze and pulls him impossibly closer to him.

Seunghyun makes a purring sound of approval in the back of his throat before connecting his lips to Daesung’s. They melt into each other’s touch effortlessly. The next few minutes are spent lazily exploring each other, confident hands grazing beneath suffocating clothing and lips whispering silent dedications to one another.

They soon find themselves curled up in each other’s embrace, Seunghyun lying on his back while Daesung curls up into his side and places kitten-like kisses all long his protruding collarbone.

“You’re so pretty, Tabi.”

T.O.P. slightly opens his eyes and peeks down through his lashes to find Daesung smiling brightly up at him as if Tabi is the entire world in his hands and he’s been declared the king.

The light that exudes from Daesung’s heart and into his declarations of love never fails to take Seunghyun’s breath away. Daesung is the kind of person who possesses a childlike intensity of love – one that is naïve and full-fledged, giving his heart away to anyone that bats their eyelashes the right way at him. T.O.P. admires this quality immensely, but it scares him to death that Daesung is too trusting for this horrible world. He gazes down at his love and knows that he’s never going to be able to let him go. Daesung had initially expressed insecurities of being too dependent on the elder, but Seunghyun was quick to reassure him that they could lock each other together with handcuffs and throw away the key and it still wouldn’t be enough for him.

With the food now cold and oh-so-innocent Daesung moving to suckle at his neck, T.O.P. begins to realize many things.

He will never get enough of the way Daesung always has to be touching him, whether it be a finger hooked around his belt loop or a hand clutched to his shirt as they sleep side by side.

He will never get enough of Daesung texting him silly emoticons and endless emoji’s and every variation of “I love you” that he can think of throughout the day.

He will never get enough of the way Daesung always finds a reason to kiss him at the most inconvenient times – like behind onstage props and sneakily around corners with the others trailing quickly behind – just because likes to see the charismatic rapper flustered and shy when people ask what they were doing alone.

And as he gently brings Dae up to his face, murmuring an earnest “I love you”, and kissing him with every ounce of adoration he has, he realizes another thing.

He will, simply, never get enough of Daesung.
