Jeongguk's favorite kind of mornings are the ones where he gets to wake up next to Taehyung.
--
These mornings are always Jeongguk's favorite to wake up to.
The light of a new morning gently filtering through sheer curtains, the distant bustle of life outside his window, the scent of a nearby cafe brewing coffee for morning customers... and most importantly, the warmth of his lover, Taehyung, by his side. Sundays that they woke up together were rare, and getting to spend time together in the morning was even more so. Jeongguk sighed and traced his fingertips gently along the lengths of Taehyung's shoulder, lost in the velvety texture as his lover finally stirred awake.
"How long have you been awake, lovely?" Taehyung mumbled, his voice laced with the remains of deep sleep.
"Not long." Jeongguk moved his hand up to Taehyung's face, gently brushing his thumb against his cheekbone. "Have I told you that you are..." Jeongguk looked down, a smile forming as he spoke. "Just so beautiful?" Taehyung let out a laugh, a smile reflecting his lover's appearing on his own lips.
"Keep telling me that and I may just start to think you've fallen in love with me!" Taehyung winked, earning a soft chuckle from Jeongguk. He lifted his head to quickly peck Jeongguk's lips, hiding his head away before his boyfriend could ask for more. Jeongguk let out a whine, pouting at the figure hiding underneath the blankets. Taehyung laughed and uncovered his head, cheeks red from the heat of the comforter. Jeongguk planted kisses across the entirety of his lover's cheeks and forehead, his actions quickly being derailed by his own laughter.
As their laughter settled into gasps for air, Taehyung turned to press his lips to Jeongguk's. There was no hesitation to return the favor as Jeongguk pulled his lover into his lap, wrapping his lover's legs around his waist. Taehyung laced his arms around Jeongguk's shoulders, pressing long kisses to his lips. Jeongguk's hands wandered to his lover's hips, gently pulling them closer to his own.
"Jeongguk." Taehyung breathed, stopping to look into his eyes. Jeongguk immediately let go of his waist, eyes meeting Taehyung's.
"I'm sorry, Tae-" Jeongguk started, worried that he had done something wrong or hurt Taehyung in some way. He was quickly interrupted by his lover's hand pulling his face closer, a thumb pressed into his own lips to stop his words before they began.
"If you're going to touch me, touch me like you mean it." Taehyung grinned, pressing a teasing peck to Jeongguk's flustered cheek. He yelped in surprise as Jeongguk swiftly pulled them both back down onto the bed, pulling his hips toward him in a much less gentle way.
"Is that better?" Jeongguk looked down at his lover, watching as Taehyung gasped gently at the feeling of his fingertips pressed into his skin. Taehyung struggled to find the words as he simply nodded, pulling Jeongguk down closer to his own body.
"You could have saved yourself the trouble if you did that the first time," Taehyung teased.
"We were having a moment!" Jeongguk laughed and rolled over to lay next to his boyfriend. "You're so needy, you know."
"I know. It's apart of my undeniable charm." The remark earned Taehyung a soft chuckle from the younger man as he rested his head on Jeongguk's chest, taking in the warmth radiating off of his skin.
The pair laid there for what seemed like an eternity before Jeongguk spoke up, breaking the calming silence.
"I love you, Taehyung."
"I know. I love you too."
"No, I mean.." Jeongguk sat up, looking past Taehyung's confused expression as he gently held his cheeks within his palms. "I love you so much. I know that people throw that phrase around a lot but there's just..." He shook his head, trying to find the words. "Fuck, Tae. I love you so much." Jeongguk finished, his voice not louder than a nervous whisper.
Taehyung intertwined his fingers with Jeongguk's before squeezing them tightly. "I love you so much," he repeated, trying to meet Jeongguk's eyes. Taehyung wrapped his arms tightly around Jeongguk, pressing gentle kisses to his candied cheeks. Jeongguk chuckled softly, resting his head onto Taehyung's shoulder.
Nothing was better than Sunday morning.
