cuddles - renjun

(hi hello! i usually write longer ones but i wanted try something new, so i hope this turns out well^^)

renjun and i were always best friends. we knew each other since we were in diapers, having play dates about 4-5 times a week. he knew me better than anyone else did (including myself), and i do the same for him.

when we went to primary school (elementary) together, we were the only ones that talked during recess. everybody else raced to get sports equipment from a box, while we slowly walked around the school, talking about his supernatural beliefs. we'd spend the whole 40 minutes talking about how he thought we could be aliens.

throughout high school, things got tough. students became more judgemental than they were in primary school and cared more than anything else. when the other students found out that we believed in ghosts and aliens, we were then labelled as the 'weird kids'. eventually, everybody got over it and at one point rumours went around that we were dating when we really weren't. in fact, at the time, i had no feelings for renjun, other than being his best friend in the whole planet (obviously).

then one day, we decided to go a party. a party where they played games. games like, seven minutes in heaven, truth or dare and spin the bottle. we never dared to play seven minutes in heaven, both of us afraid of the other students' opinions and thoughts. so instead, we decided to play spin the bottle because renjun thought truth or dare was too simple.

that night was when i had my first kiss. my first kiss (at fourteen) was shared with huang renjun. later that night, when we he told me goodnight in my bedroom, i thought he had gone back to his home, across the street from us, when really he was downstairs, sitting in front of my parents, asking for their permission.

permission for us to eat out? no.

permission for us to come home late? no.

permission to become my first boyfriend? yes.

the night after that, he took me out to the movies. after we'd left the movies, he took me to his favourite place nearby, a grass field. we lied down on the grass and looked up at the night sky, filled with little bright stars. that same night, he asked me to be his. after i had agreed, we shared another kiss. it was a soft, passionate kiss.

it's been two years since then and throughout the years, we became everyone's favourite couple at school.

i never understood why people cared so much for our relationship, but i appreciated all of it, it's obviously nicer than having people publicly hate us together.

"hey beautiful." renjun smiled, pulling me out of my thoughts as he sat down beside me on our table. "gross. can you minimise the couple stuff?" haechan, our friend, gagged in a friendly manner. "shut up. they're cute." jisung's girlfriend, eunha, said while she cuddling into jisung's side as he had his arm around her shoulder.

"thanks eunha." i smiled as i leaned my head on renjun's shoulder. "what were you thinking about, love?" renjun whispered loud enough for me to hear. "what do you mean?" i questioned, looking up at him. "you looked like you were thinking about something, you looked so pretty, i wish i had taken a photo of you." he smiled before lightly pressing his lips onto my forehead.

"i was thinking about us when we were fourteen, when you first asked me out." i explained, interlocking our fingers under the table together. he chuckled softly before kissing my forehead again, causing us to bring our attention to haechan who was loudly coughing, showing his disgust for our actions.

"shut up! they're so cute, haechan!" a voice from another table called out, causing our table and other tables to errupt in laughter as renjun stood up and gave them a high five before settling down beside me the way we were before.

"can you sleep over tonight? i want to cuddle with you." i admitted the last part quietly, but hearing his laughter, i assume he heard it. "i'll tell just parents i'll spend the rest of the day at your place. i'll get my stuff before i head over to yours, is that okay, darling?" renjun explained and kissed my nose after i nodded.

after school - renjun's at your house now (with his stuff)

also y/m/n means your mums name lol, i didn't wanna use karen or smth

"hi y/m/n!" renjun smiled as he entered our house, giving my mother a hug before kissing my cheek and hugging me. "y/n told me you're sleeping over, is that right?" my mother asked from the kitchen, looking up from her sinigang. "yes, i'm planning to. is that alright?" renjun asked before sitting beside me, although he already knew the answer.

that's one special thing i love about renjun. he always asks for permission, even when he knows he's allowed to or not allowed. my parents also love that about him, especially when he asked to date me.

"baby? are you okay?" renjun asked, gently holding onto my hand in concern. i nodded happily before telling him to pick a movie and he did.

soon enough we decided to head into my room where we got ready for bed. as i pulled the cover over both of us, i felt renjun's arm snake around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. "i love you beautiful." he mumbled into my hair as he kissed it. "i love you too, renjun." i smiled as my eyes got heavier and heavier, allowing sleep to take over me.

when i woke up, i started to sit up, only to be pulled back down and closer to the boy's chest. "stop moving, baby." he mumbled into my pillows, causing me to giggle. "baby, we have to get up now. we have to go to school, injunnie." i explained, he groaned in response.

me too, renjun, me too.

slowly i begin to sit up, this time, renjun sitting up with me. he rested his chin on my shoulder, leaving butterfly kisses on my skin. "come on, baby, i have to get ready now." i reasoned, standing up and sitting on my chair in front of my mirrors. i began to brush my hair when i felt renjun's strong arms wrap around me, pressing his lips on my shoulder.

"why do you get up so early?" he wondered, lightly playing with the end of my hair. "i have to do a lot of things as a girl, renjunnie." i explained, giggling at his unconvinced expression in the mirror. "like what?" he question, walking to his bag and pulling out his clothes. "i have to shower, do my skincare routine, do my makeup, get dressed." i listed before standing behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist, back hugging the taller boy.

"how about this. i'll pick your clothes while you shower, but don't do your makeup." renjun said, looking down at me. "what? why not?" i pouted as he cupped my face. "because you look so pretty without it. you can do your foundation shit but no more." he explained, pressing a kiss to my nose. i nodded in agreement before doing my regular routine, following his instructions about the makeup.

"gosh, i'm so lucky, my girlfriend is everything." renjun said, running his hand through his wet hair and glancing at me. i hummed in response. "look at you. you're gorgeous without makeup, heck, you don't even need this... foundation stuff. you're so kind and loving. i'm so lucky." he giggled happily as i walked towards him to give him a hug. "come on, let's go downstairs to eat and then we can go to school." he smiled. i nodded happily before following him downstairs.

gosh.

i really do love you, huang renjun.
