"Jaemin what have you done to the apartment?" Renjun asks as soon as he steps through the door. His brown orbs inspect the walls covered in multicoloured flash cards, the hood of the cooker, the oven and even Renjun's bedroom door was covered in them.
Jeno shuffles in behind him, his own eyes also examining the apartment. There were far more notes now than there was earlier when he came.

"Studying for my test so deal with it-" Jaemin cuts himself off when his eyes land on Jeno, a smirk forming on his lips before his eyes move back to his roommate. "Oh hello again"

Renjun was silently pleading with Jaemin from where he stood next to Jeno. The last thing he needed was Jaemin dropping 'not so subtle hints' that Renjun was rather smitten for Jeno.

Jeno only waves and shoots the boy a smile causing Jaemin to jump from his spot where he sat on the kitchen counter "Ohhh Jeno your smile is so nice" he compliments, Renjun already regretting his decision for inviting Jeno over.

"Come on, let's go in my room" Renjun mutters, taking Jeno by the hand and leading him through the centre of the apartment.

"Omigod, I swear if you guys have sex in there I'm moving out" Jaemin groans, his sly smile only growing when he earns a glare from his roommate.

"Good" Renjun says before pushing his door open causing a few flash cars to flutter to the ground.

"Renjun! I just organised all of those" Jaemin whines, rushing over to pick up the notes.

Jeno stood awkwardly, watching the two boys bicker before Renjun finally steps into his room and slams the door in Jaemin's face. He turns to Jeno with an apologetic smile "I'm sorry about him" he mumbles before moving over to his large white desk by the window and placing his camera down on there.

Renjun's room was pretty big, the walls covered in photographs that sat in pretty frames. They were the same sort of photographs he had seen in the dark room, ones of him and his friends, others of landscapes. There was one photo of Jaemin kissing Renjun's cheek and Jeno quickly looks away, trying not to think on it too much. They didn't seem like a couple.

"So, you wanna watch a movie? I have Jaemin's Netflix password" Renjun giggles slightly as he turns on his laptop before jumping onto the bed, patting the space next to him.

Slowly Jeno moves closer, lowering himself onto the bed. The comment Jaemin had made playing on his mind slightly 'if you guys have sex in there I'll move out' he knew it wasn't going to happen but it still made him a little hesitant.

"What's up with you, I don't bite" Renjun laughs as he watches Jeno, his focus quickly moving back to the laptop "unless you want me too" he smirks, his eyes focused on typing away on the keyboard.

Jeno goes silent for a moment until he grabs a pillow and throws it at the older boy "shut up you idiot you sound so gay". They both laugh for a moment until Renjun pulls the laptop further up the bed, scooting a little closer to Jeno, his back leant against the younger boy's chest. He may be testing his boundaries but he didn't really care, Jeno wasn't telling his to move so he assumed it was fine.

"So what you wanna watch?" He asks, his finger moving across the mouse pad as he scrolls through the long list of movies.

Jeno is quite for a moment, thinking before pointing to the screen. Renjun grimaces at his choice and turns his head slightly to look up at him, their faces way closer than Renjun thought they would be. "Ew Jeno seriously? The notebook?" He laughs slightly before looking back at the screen.

"Have you ever seen it?"
Renjun could feel Jeno's breath on the back of his neck and he tried his best not to lean closer.

"No" he says, shaking his head causing his soft brown locks of hair to tickle Jeno's face.

"You shouldn't judge it if you've never seen it" there was a hint of amusement in the younger's tone causing Renjun to roll his eyes and reluctantly press play on the movie.

A pair of warm arms snake there way around Renjun's waist causing him to gasp a little, his stomach doing cartwheels. He tells himself that it's probably just a more comfortable position for Jeno and focuses his attention on the movie.

"Renjun are you crying?" Jeno chuckles, trying his best to turn Renjun around to face him but the brunette wouldn't budge. He sniffles a little, his hands moving to wipe the tears from his cheeks.

"No" his voice was quiet and Jeno couldn't help but hug Renjun close to him. He was past the point of caring if Renjun was even interested in him or had developed some kind of feelings, he couldn't help but show affection.
"Jeno stop I said I wasn't crying" Renjun hits the arm that was securely fixed around his waist, a small smile playing on his lips.

Before Jeno's could say anything the bedroom door swings open "Renjun have you seen my-" Jaemin stops talking when his eyes land on the two boys, his gaze moving from their faces to Jeno's arms that were wrapped around Renjun.
A smirk appears on Jaemin's face and he rests his hand on the handle again "oops sorry, you kids have fun. Use protection" he winks once before closing the door.

Jeno immediately loosens his grip and Renjun scoots away and gets up from the bed, Jeno doing the same. An awkward silence seemed to settle over the room, Renjun continuously cursing Jaemin in his head.

After a few moments had passes, neither boy muttering a word, Jeno finally clears his throat causing Renjun to look up "I-I should get going" Jeno mutters, his thumb pointing to the door, his other hand scratching the back of his neck.

"Of course, it's getting pretty late" Renjun rushes, shuffling over to the door and resting his fingers against the handle ready to open it.

"Wait Renjun" Jeno's voice stops the older, causing him to turn.

Renjun wasn't really sure what happened or how it happened, but before he could even look up at Jeno, a pair of hands had gently caressed his flushed cheeks and a pair of soft lips had been placed on his own.

He was shocked at first, not quite believing that this was actually happening, but he soon melted into it. His hands snaking around Jeno's neck, his back pressed against the closed door. Kissing Jeno was exactly how he had imagined it but better. His lips tasted of vanilla latte and it was addictive.

Jeno pulls away, Renjun was left a little stunned.
He smirks slightly at Renjun's flustered state "bye Renjun" he smiles before carefully moving the older boy away from the door and exiting the room.

Jeno bids his goodbyes to Jaemin before leaving the apartment. Within a matter of seconds Jaemin was in Renjun's room, his hands shaking his roommate. "Well! What happened!?"

Renjun's eyes move and met Jaemin's, a smile breaking out on his face.
"He friggin kissed me!" He squeals.

Jaemin takes his hands, both boys jumping up and down with excitement.
"Are you not going to go after him?" Jaemin asks once they had calmed down a little.

"Should I?" Renjun looked a little confused and Jaemin gives him a look as if to say 'are you fucking kidding me?'.
Renjun nods once before pushing past his roommate and out of the door, running to catch up to Jeno.
