dazed and confused - norenmin

jaemin

jaemin and renjun were sitting on the sofa,
wrapped in each other.
with every minute that passed jaemin felt his breathing ease,
and he loosened his tight hold on renjun's hoodie.
slowly, hesitantly, he moved his hands to the nape of renjun's neck,
where he began playing with the fluffy baby hairs that grew there.
renjun shuddered,
and jaemin looked at him anxiously,
worried that he had crossed a line.
after all, they had only known each other since that morning.
it already felt like a lifetime.

renjun looked jaemin straight in the eye and smiled.
that smile was the most beautiful thing jaemin had ever seen.

"that feels nice"

"you feel nice - i mean, you're very comfortable to hug"

jaemin regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth,
but the soft giggle he was rewarded with soon changed his mind.
god, jaemin could get used to that sound.

however, renjun's face grew more serious,
and his gaze drifted to the tear-stains on jaemin's cheeks.

"you ready to talk about it - whatever made you upset?"

jaemin took a deep breath and nodded. renjun deserved to know the situation.

"it's nothing really,
i just had a fight with-"

"jeno!"

renjun interrupted jaemin as he greeted the boy who had just entered the room,
and who was now looking at them,
an unreadable expression on his face.

"hey", jaemin said quietly.

"i'm sorry jaemin.
i'm sorry i walked out on you,
even though we promised we would never do that to eachother.
i got worked up over nothing,
and i know that i hurt you,
and for that i'm sorry.
you did nothing wrong. will you forgive me?"

jaemin stood up, aware that the focus of both boys was on him.
he walked towards jeno,
who looked sincere and was waiting nervously for his response.
he stopped before the older boy.

a thought popped into his head, and he smirked.

"you're going to have to make it up to me"

"of course, what do you want me to do?"

"that's for me to know and for you to find out.
let's just say, you owe me..."

jeno's eyes widened, he had never seen this side of jaemin.
not gonna lie, he quite liked it.
jaemin took jeno by the hand and led him to the sofa,
where renjun was sitting, unsure whether he should still be here or not.

still intertwined with jeno, he took renjun's hand as well,
and motioned for them to do the same.
they sat together in silence, enjoying the moment.
it felt exciting, it felt new, it felt...

right.
