jeno

jeno had decided to try and move renjun to the bedroom without waking him,
and gently slid his hands under the older boy,
who responded to his touch by grabbing affectionately at his shirt, eyes still closed.
jeno picked him up with ease, and carefully carried him bridal style into the bedroom.

after laying the still sleeping renjun down on the bed,
jeno breathed a sigh of relief and went into the bathroom,
where he showered quickly and dressed in a soft t-shirt and pyjama trousers.
usually he slept in just his boxers,
but he didn't feel comfortable doing so while sharing a bed with renjun.

coming back into the bedroom,
shaking his damp hair out of his eyes,
jeno started as he saw renjun sitting up and now under the covers.
he had changed into an oversized t-shirt which swamped him,
and unconsciously jeno began to imagine what renjun would look like dressed in his clothes,
which would probably be equally large on the smaller boy.

he smiled at the thought, and walked towards the bed,
his approach monitored by renjun, who gestured for him to get in beside him.
ignoring his quickened heartbeat, and hoping the other boy couldn't hear it,
jeno slid under the covers.
he quickly began to feel drowsy, feeling safe in renjun's company.

"i didn't know where you went"

"i just took a shower, i thought you were still asleep."

"i think i've slept too much today, the time difference has fucked me up-"

jeno sleepily pressed a finger against renjun's lips,
silencing him.

"no profanity please, you're too pure"

renjun spluttered indignantly,

"i can swear if i want!
freedom of fucking speech"

"besides, you're purer than me"

"..."

"jeno"

"jeno"

"jenoooo"

"don't tell me you've fallen asleep"

"..."

"jeno, i'm scared"

"what if the clowns come back?"

"..."

"jeno, can i...hug you?"

"i need to hug something in order to sleep"

"please...
i don't want to be alone."

at that jeno mustered his remaining energy and pulled renjun into his arms,
cradling him against his chest.

"sshh"

"it's okay, i'm here"

"thank you"

"anytime, junnie"
