fingertips upon my skin

Seonghwa stepped into his boyfriend's mother's home, bowing politely to the inhabitants as he entered. Ahyun waved wildly while Mrs Song bowed politely.

"Why didn't you call?" Ahyun pouted, standing up to hug his boyfriend. "I waited so long for you to call me."

"Sorry, baby. When I got there, Wooyoung was in the shower, and calling you slipped from my mind when he came out," Seonghwa replied. "You know how long that idiot takes showers."

"True," Ahyun smiled. "Come to the kitchen, we were just going to make tea."

"Ah, I have exciting news," Seonghwa smiled as he walked to the kitchen counter. "I have a new work partner. Now I don't need to sit all bored when Ahyunnie is at work."

"Oh, that's good," Ahyun smiled widely. "When can I meet him?"

Seonghwa hummed. "I'm not sure. We'll be busy at the university a lot, so I doubt it at all. But he has a boyfriend, and so do I, so we'll just be work partners."

"I wasn't worried in the first place," Ahyun shrugged. Besides saying that, Seonghwa knew he'd have something to say about his little lie.

"I'm glad you've gotten further," Mrs Song smiled. "You're very smart. Maths, was it?"

"Calculus. We work beside university physicists and astronomers," Seonghwa replied. "My new partner is an astronomer. We've got funds to do new research."

"Well, that's fantastic!" Mrs Song exclaimed. "When do you start?"

"Two days from now, on Tuesday, will be our first day of research," Seonghwa replied. "But now that we're busy with a new investigation, I'm worried I won't see my precious Ahyun as often."

"I might also have to work harder to pay for rent. We need to talk about splitting the budget differently," Ahyun sighed. Seonghwa nodded, humming a bit. "I'm proud of you, Seongie. I'm glad they're realizing your potential."

"I'll see you this evening, I promise."

Ahyun smiled. "Look at you. You literally have all the braincells in this relationship."

Seonghwa kissed his forehead. "Literally. I love you."

Ahyun pouted his lips. "Give me a real kiss."

Seonghwa leaned down, connecting their lips in a soft kiss. He pulled away, smiling widely. "Don't wait up on me, okay? Get to work safely."

"I will," Ahyun smiled. He waved as Seonghwa walked down the corridor. "I love you!"

"Love you more!"

Seonghwa soon made it to his car parked in the apartment block parking. He put his backpack on the backseat before climbing into the car. He took out his phone, dialing a number. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he waited for an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Joongie. I'll be over soon."

"It's a bit early," Hongjoong's voice hummed. "I'll be here, though. I'm not going to uni today."

"Me neither," Seonghwa replied. "I'll be there in 15 minutes. Bye."

"I'll be waiting, sexy."

Seonghwa chuckled before hanging up. He turned on his car, driving out the parking area. He didn't feel guilty for lying, but he somehow knew he was going to regret lying.

"You're pretty early." Hongjoong watched as Seonghwa entered the apartment, taking off his coat. He pulled Hongjoong by his waist as he carelessly discarded his jacket. "So pretty today. What's different?"

"Oh, I'm wearing shorts," Hongjoong replied with a grin. He turned around, showing Seonghwa his butt. "Do you like it? I bought them yesterday."

"I like them a lot. Too bad they won't be on for too long," Seonghwa said as his hands trailed lower to the boy's waist.

"Wait." Hongjoong stepped away. "Let's do it in my bedroom this time. It's more hidden than the living room, so I don't have to explain myself when guests come over."

"That's fine," Seonghwa replied. Hongjoong in turn took his hand and guided him to his bedroom. Seonghwa bit his lip as excitement built up inside him. Watching Hongjoong move so swiftly with those shorts on increased the growing heat inside his body.

"I didn't get to clean up," Hongjoong muttered. Nonetheless, Seonghwa was pushed to the bed with one hand, landing gently. Hongjoong crawled onto his lap, straddling his thighs. His lips hovered just above Seonghwa's teasing him ever so slightly.

Seonghwa gripped Hongjoong's waist with one hand, his other hand slipping under the constricting fabric of his T-shirt. His thumb made gentle circles on Hongjoong's skin, sending tiny shivers up his body.

"Wanna skip on the teasing?" Seonghwa asked softly, his head tilted slightly.

"If you want. I'll do whatever you want me to," Hongjoong replied softly. Seonghwa gave him a split-second kiss, pulling away almost immediately.

"You can be on top. Not top me, but you can be on top," Seonghwa told him, his lips planting themselves on random areas on Hongjoong's sensitive neck skin. Hongjoong hummed and closed his eyes as a wave of pleasure flowed through him.

"Just say I can ride you," he breathed out as his head began spinning because of the soft touches Seonghwa gave him all over his body.

"Okay — you can ride me." Seonghwa groaned as Hongjoong gently grinded down on his covered length. His hands impatiently reached for Seonghwa's belt and unbuckled it quickly. Hongjoong pressed his lips to Seonghwa's quickly, the kiss become heated immediately. Seonghwa's hand, still under his shirt, pulled Hongjoong closer by his waist.

"Why don't you just have sex with your partner?" Hongjoong asked after breaking the kiss for a moment. His hand still crept inside the other's boxers.

"I do," Seonghwa groaned out, "but… he's not you."

"I'm better at it than him, right?" Hongjoong asked, his lips eerily close to Seonghwa's. The other nodded, dazed by Hongjoong's actions. "Then leave him."

"I don't want to," Seonghwa muttered. "I… I love him."

Hongjoong put their lips together. "You're hurting him."

Seonghwa sighed. "I know. But you're… so amazing…"

Hongjoong pulled away. "You're lucky I like being used by you." He finally freed Seonghwa's growing heat and stood up to slowly pull his shorts off. Seonghwa tugged the boy forward by his wrist once he was done teasing.

"You're so amazing," Seonghwa whispered. "Your body is just so… amazing."

Hongjoong giggled as he leaned down to kiss the blonde. "I like your body too."

"You like one part," Seonghwa rolled his eyes. He kissed Hongjoong again, that guilt that was beginning to settle in his stomach slowly fading away by the touch of Hongjoong's lips to his own.
