The Gift - Jaemin x Jeno

The Gift * Part Two

The Gift • Part Two

Jaemin rolled over and grabbed his phone. The time was almost 11am and his head ached with the remains of too much vodka and too much crying. He still couldn't believe yesterday had gone so wrong. He suddenly became very aware of someone else in the bed with him and he sat up in shock. The glowing ball of light, the tiny bad tempered little creature, the beautiful faerie.

It wasn't a dream?

He sat up and stared at the faerie sleeping next to him. How could this be true. Then he remembered the falling star shooting across the sky as his heart died a thousand deaths outside the arts building last night.

"I wish Jeno loved me in the way I want him to. The way I love him. I wish his heart was mine."

Had this creature of magic and mystery really been sent to help him?

He stared at his sleeping face. He was beautiful. He was everything Jeno wasn't. Jeno's jaw was strong and his profile masculine and sharp. The sleeping fae had a face that was delicate and refined and he was painted in a much softer kind of beauty. His face had an intrinsic elegance about it. Jeno's head was covered in a thick shock of black hair, lustrous and rich, shining like molten steel in the sun. The sleeping man beside him had fine locks of orange sunshine that seemed caught right between gold and bronze.

And when he sat up and blinked at Jaemin with a small smile Jaemin held his breath. Jeno's smile was addictive and made his eyes disappear into tiny crescent moons. The fae has a smile that was the opposite, like softly breaking dawn and, to Jaemin's curious delight, a few slightly crooked teeth.

When his dark doe eyes blinked at Jaemin he lost himself in them for just a second.

"I'm hungry." Renjun said as he stared back. "Do you have food?" "I don't know," Jaemin replied, "Can you eat human food?" Renjun shrugged and climbed out of the bed. Jaemin saw that he had slept in the clothes he arrived in. The pants were some sort of coarse white linen and his shirt was a soft sky blue. They looked like normal clothes unless you looked really closely and you could see subtle imperfections that gave away their otherworldly origins. Jaemin decided they suited Renjun very well and with his soft gold hair and his sweet face he could probably pass for any other arts student around the campus. Besides the ears. They weren't passable at all.

"I like to go out for breakfast but I guess we'll have to find something to eat here..." Jaemin swung his legs off the bed and walked out the room with Renjun close behind him. "What do you like to eat?"

"Berries." Renjun said and Jaemin opened his refrigerator, rummaging through the vegetable drawer, coming up with half a punnet of strawberries and a little bag of blueberries. "Here." He handed them to Renjun who just stared. "What are these?" "Berries." Jaemin laughed. "Strawberries and blueberries." Renjun opened the punnet and closely inspected a tiny red berry. "Why are human berries so small?" Jaemin laughed loudly and it was the first time Renjun had seen him look happy. "They aren't small Renjun. You're just big now." Renjun blushed with embarrassment.
