DESK LETTERS | JAENO

[eighteen]

[chapter eighteen]

IT was late at night, and Jeno lies in someone's arms being held close. Jeno never expected those arms to be Jaemins, and it got him thinking of some things. Jeno believed it was probably past midnight, and yet here he was, awake as if having insomnia.

He kept thinking of what they said to each other in the car, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. It was true what Jeno meant, but Jaemins words hit so close to home. He hadn't heard the phrase in his whole life, and yet here he is, saying it back to someone he really did love.

"Still awake?" A deep voice came from behind him, and he jumped a little,

"Did I wake you?" Jeno asks softly, and he heard a low breathy laugh.

"No, I've been awake for awhile. Waiting for you to fall asleep as well, but I guess it's not happening is it?" Jaemin asks.

Jeno kept silent for a moment, and bit his lip as he couldn't think of what to say.

"What's on your mind baby?" Jaemin asks, fixing himself on his elbow.

Jeno turns around, facing the other. Looking up to Jaemin, he sees the other already staring back. Staring into those eyes, the moonlight shines in their room.

"Why do you love me Jaemin?..." Jeno whispers.

Jaemin is quiet for a moment, staring at the other as the moonlight touches the milky skin of the others face. Taking in the beauty lying in front him.

"There's a million reasons why I love you Jeno. Your loving, so kind, so grateful and caring. Every time I look at you, I just feel the aura around you. You have a warm heart, and you opened mine. I've never felt so in love with someone." Jaemin continues. "However, your looks, I could go on and on about those."

Jaemin brings a hand up to cup the others cheek in his palm, the soft skin sending electricity through his skin. A light blush was trailing across Jeno's face, and Jeno felt fluffy inside listening to Jaemins words.

"From your eyes, to your nose, to your lips. It's all beautiful in my eyes, everything's perfect about you. It's almost not fair." Jaemin says with a small pout, but then presses his lips in a thin line; furrowing his eyebrows. "That's why I must have you as mine, because anyone would love to get hands on you."

Jeno gives a small giggle at Jaemins words, and shakes his head a little at the foolishness. He's glad he fell in love with this boy.

"So Jeno, why do you love me?" Jaemin asks with a smirk.

"Who said I loved you." Jeno jokes, and Jaemin immediately taken back.

"You said it in the car! Don't take back on your words." Jaemin exclaims in fake anger.

"You know I was just joking." Jeno says with a small smile, and Jaemin gives up and smiles as well.

"I know." Jaemin whispers, running his hands through the others hair.

"And there's a ton of things I love you for Jaemin. Like your smile, it makes me happy. Your jokes and sarcasm make me laugh unlike any other, and your heart is warm like mine. You accept me for who am I, and panic when I cry. Your sad when I'm sad, happy when I'm happy, and you care about me a ton. But, your a big baby." Jeno says, and Jaemin scoffs.

"Whatever, I just bought you a ton of clothes." Jaemin argues.

"What do you want me to call you? My sugar daddy?" Jeno whispers.

"Maybe, or maybe I can be more than a sugar daddy. Maybe a real da—"

"Na Jaemin!" Jeno yells and throws a pillow at him.

Jaemin laughs, and pushes the pillow away. "You know I was just joking." Jaemin says. "Maybe." He adds.

"Unbelievable." Jeno says with a pout.

"You love it, and me." Jaemin whispers, staring at the other.

"Unfortunately." Jeno says with a smile.

"Oh you little—" Jaemin starts, and throws a pillow at the other. Jeno joins along happily.

It seems they never fell asleep that night, but got so tired so they had to. Jaemin holds Jeno close in his arms, almost afraid for fate to let him go. Jeno holds onto him as well, his heart filled with happiness he's never felt.

Both were safe in each other's arms, and both felt complete. Finding one another's happiness, they could've never been happier. They're hearts opened to a new chapter, a new page in a new book.

And chapter one was just beginning.

2 years later

Jeno and Jaemin were out of school since they graduated, and there little hang out spot went to be abandoned. Jaemin got a job, and so did Jeno, so they were both gaining money at the seems. Jaemin came out to his mom and about him and Jeno not long after they started dating, and she begged for him to have a party. Of course Jaemin declined, and his mom did it anyway.

Jeno and Jaemin had enough money after awhile, and bought their own place. An apartment to be exact. Jeno bought a cat while he was there, and Jaemin protested for awhile. However, after Jeno almost 'cried' he gave in and let the cat stay.

Jeno and Jaemin were happy together, and Jeno only wished for happiness there whole lives. Of course there was going to be quarrels, fights and small arguments along the way, but he was ready them if it meant a long life with Jaemin. Jaemin felt the same, wanting Jeno by his side until the end.

Together forever by fate tied around their hearts, they hold hands as they face the world together.

In the end, all love needed, was a letter.

Desk Letters.
