Summary:
even after all this time i'm still into you
--
they've been together for years. more than jimin can count on one hand.
he stares at the love of his life, diligently working on something on his laptop. he wonders how he got so lucky, being with a man so compassionate and kind as namjoon.
the man suddenly shifts, turning to jimin. he smiles, as jimin adverts his eyes with a blush on his face at being caught.
"can i help you?" he asks. jimin shakes his head. "no, was just thinking about how much i love you," he sighs. he gets up from his spot on the floor and moves namjoon's laptop from his lap, replacing himself with it. he lays down in the older man's lap, feeling so at home. namjoon's smell, in jimin's very biased opinion, is the best smell in the world. it's homey, smelling like the soap he buys from that special store and toothpaste.
namjoon leans down and plants a soft kiss on jimin's forehead. "i love you too. can i have my laptop back?" jimin shakes his head. "no, let's nap. you've been working on that since this morning," he says with a tone of finality. namjoon lets out an exaggerated sigh. "always distracting me from work," he says in faux annoyance. but jimin knows namjoon would rather spend time with him than on a stupid essay.
jimin sits up so namjoon can lay down, then lays back down with his head on namjoon's chest.
the older man is out quickly, having stressed over this essay for a while. jimin however, stays awake for a bit.
he thinks about how he and namjoon first met, meeting through yoongi.
"i have a friend, he's kind of clumsy and clueless, but he's just your type."
jimin was sixteen at the time, namjoon seventeen. when they had first met, jimin was intimidated by the elder's height, his sense of talking like everything he said was philosophical.
that was, until he flipped jimin's entire plate of food over.
namjoon was embarrassed, to say the least. jimin found it funny, how cute namjoon was when he was flustered. namjoon had offered to pay him back, or buy him more but jimin refused, saying it was an accident.
from then on, they were inseparable.
they of course didn't become official until a year and a half later, when jimin was about to graduate high school did namjoon ask him to be his boyfriend.
their friends were relieved, as hoseok had said it was "about damn time" when he heard the news, and jungkook got ₩4000 from jin.
jimin recalls the first 'i love you'.
jimin had been to namjoon's for dinner. he met the kims multiple times, of course. but this was the first time since becoming a couple.
namjoon was driving jimin back to his house, the ride silent but not awkward.
jimin glanced at namjoon, the street lights illuminating his face beautifully.
namjoon glanced sideways, and smiled. "yes?"
jimin bit his lip, hoping the next thing he was about to say wouldn't be too fast.
"i-i love you."
he waited for namjoon's reaction. his boyfriend swallowed, keeping his eyes on the road, but he didn't look repulsed.
in fact, he was smiling, and if the sun were out jimin could see that his cheeks were dusted pink.
"i love you too."
they had their first kiss that night.
the memory makes jimin's heart warm.
even when they had their worst moments, nothing changed the way they felt about each other.
"all you do is work! it's like you don't even care about me anymore..." for the last week and a half, all namjoon has been doing is working on assignments and sleeping. jimin doesn't even remember the last time they did something together.
namjoon flares his nostrils. "jimin you know i'm working so much to get a good job when i graduate. and you think i don't care about you?"
jimin chews his cheeks to fight back tears. "all you do is come home, work, then sleep. you're asleep when i go to bed and gone when i wake up. my dance recital is coming up soon and you don't even listen when i tell you about it."
namjoon harshly puts down the book he's looking at down. "i'm sorry jimin, im so sorry if us having a secure future is getting in the way of your dance." at namjoon's words, jimin starts letting the tears flow. "i just missed you." namjoon looks up from his laptop, seeing tears rolling down jimin's cheeks.
"oh baby, i'm so sorry, i didn't mean it i'm sorry. i'm just really stressed, i know how much dance means to you," he comforts. jimin nods, wiping his face with the back of his hand. "i know joonie, i know you're stressed i'm sorry. i know you're doing it for us." namjoon kisses the top of jimin's head.
"i can't wait for your recital baby."
jimin rubs his face against namjoon's chest, letting the thrum of his heartbeat lull him off to sleep, head and heart full of love for the love of his life, his soulmate.
