Love Is For Losers // johnten

"What are we watching?" Johnny asks over the loudness in the dorm, watching Jaehyun set up his laptop on the desk chair.

All of them are sitting on the floor, blankets and pillows everywhere. Sicheng is yelling at Yuta because he spilled the popcorn bowl, and Yangyang is eating it off the floor.

"La la land." Jaehyun replies to Johnny's question with a smile, ignoring the chaos that is going on.

"What! I didn't sign up to cry tonight." Hendery complains and snuggles further into Xiaojun's shoulder.

"Don't spoil it! I haven't seen it yet." Yuta avoids another one of Sicheng's shoulder slaps.

"That's a fucking sappy movie. We all know Taeyong picked this." Ten sighs.

"What? It's a good movie." Taeyong pouts.

It finally starts and the room gets quiet.

Johnny shifts his position, he's leaning against a mountain of pillows Xiaojun set up. Ten's laying right next to him, stuffing his face with an ungodly amount of chocolate.

The first song starts and Xiaoyangdery start singing along and swaying their bodies. The whole room turns into some sort of acapella group or something, because all of them start doing it.

Johnny's sure that the people next door are annoyed with them.

"Are you crying?"

Ten peeks his head out from behind a pillow as the credits roll. Johnny squints.

"I'm not crying." his reply is muffled into the pillow.

Johnny scoots closer. "Yeah right, I see those tears in your eyes."

"And you say you're not a sap, Ten." Yuta adds to that.

"Shut up."

Johnny sighs and places his hand on Ten's back to rub soft circles on it. Seeing Ten break down over a fictional movie is something new for him.

Now that he thinks about it, he never really sees Ten cry.

A few minutes and a rant about why it shouldn't have ended like that later, they decide to play a game to brighten the mood.

"You guys cool with dare or dare?" Yangyang has mischievous grin on his face that means no good.

Everyone agrees anyway.

Johnny's not paying attention since he's tired. Until he hears his name.

"Johnny," Yuta calls. "Dare or dare?"

"Uh," Johnny blinks. "Dare?"

"I dare you to give Ten a hickey." Yuta smirks.

Johnny doesn't think he heard that right. He must be very tired, his brain is making up some weird shit. But when three seconds pass by and everyone in the room is staring at him, it's probably not something he's imagining.

"I'm done playing this game." Ten crosses his arms and gets up from the floor.

But for some reason, Johnny grabs his wrist.

"I'll do it." he says, and 'ooos' can be heard across the room, and he's pretty sure Jaehyun's taking a video to use as blackmail.

Ten widens his eyes, but doesn't make any move to wiggle out of the grip.

Johnny pulls him down to sit again.

Ten tilts his head to expose some skin. Johnny doesn't even hesitate to place his lips against the crook of Ten's neck.

He doesn't know what he's doing. He's given a hickey before, but only when he gets drunk, which rarely happens.

Johnny blames his sexual frustration for this. He's starved of sex.

He pulls back with a pop, examining the blooming mark on Ten's neck. Everyone gathers around to see.

Ten makes eye contact with him, and Johnny can't read his expression.

He's too tired to do that.
