days had passed from their small trip, two days to be exact. it just happened to hit the black haired male that an event over the weekend would be coming up, and he hadn't prepared for it in the slightest. pacing around his bedroom, the boy was so deep in thought he couldn't hear the loud noises from the front door.
after bumping into the wall, he came to his senses and quickly made his way to the door to greet his lovers. sure enough, they were standing right in front of him, worried expressions plastered on their face. had he been making noises? the boy wasn't sure, but he managed to give them a small smile and let them into his home.
"hey cheollie, is everything okay?" the brown haired male spoke up, stopping the photographer from pulling the sleeves of his hoodie, "you seem, fidgety"
the male didn't know how to phrase his response, how could they help him? were they aware of the photo display this weekend? seungcheol felt frustrated, unable to remember if he had told them or not. so not wanting to lose his cool, the boy pulled the two roommates into his arms, burying himself in the comfort of their embrace.
"the art display, i don't have a suit or what to say to people, what if they ask me to talk about my pieces? i'm so unprepared and everything is literally tomorrow" he vented out, his voice a bit muffled but understandable.
seeing the stressed out state the black haired male, jeonghan gave them a reassuring smile and pulled away from their embrace to grab his phone. "don't worry about suits, bunny, i'll make a few calls and have that set up. shua can create a mock interview so you can practice what you'll say" the angelic-like blonde told him, giving a quick peck on the cheek to both of his partners before heading into the hallway.
both males stood still for a second, fazed by the sudden unfamiliar way of affection. the two well aware of the mischievous one's love for making them feel flustered, they were undeniably shocked by his new method. the brown haired male then left out an awkward cough, holding seungcheol's hand and pulling him onto the couch.
"what pieces do you think they'll ask you about, cheollie?" joshua asked the photographer, his tone gentle and sweet, making the other comfortable to answer to rather than the interviewers that would never give him a break and twist his words to make it sound more interesting.
the black haired male thought about it for a minute, trying to remember the photo that had caught most people's interest. "the one you helped me make, with hannie that day" he spoke, reminiscing the time they taught him how to do splatter paint.
"most likely, they'll ask what inspired you to make it and why did you in the first place. just basic questions, especially because interviewers are never that knowledgeable to ask something you know, smart" the sweet male spoke, running a hand through his hair trying to think of more, even though he did minor in journalism, he knew very well they stuck to the similar questions they've asked before.
of course, another thing clicked into his head, "they might also ask you uh personal things, you can always tell them you don't want to answer though, cheollie" he told him gently, noticing the worried look on the boy's face. knowing very well how the photographer was with people and interviewers would really frighten the boy. "what if we were beside you if you get interviewed? that way, if you freak out, we can answer for you"
then seungcheol flashed his signature, adorable smile, showing off his gums and perfectly shaped teeth. his doe eyes looking up at the brown haired male in hope that what he said was something he would live up to, "please, i don't wanna do it alone" he mumbled, gripped on lightly to the white t-shirt the other had on, "i can tell you all my answers right now"
so that's what they spent a good portion of their time doing, and later on, with the help of jeonghan, the photographer had an appointment to get measurements for his suit. once the boy left the house to get fitted, the two roommates laid in their other partner's home, unsure what to do while the boy was away.
"han, you want to tell me what that was earlier when we left?" joshua asked the blonde beside him, staring the boy down with an unreadable expression.
the other could only shrug, pulling the pretty brown haired male in his arms, "why? do want the real thing next time?" he laughed, leaning over the boy's face and pressed their noses together, "i thought you wanted to go slow, shua"
the one below the angelic-like male pushed the other off and let out a whine, "we are going slow rat, we've never actually kissed before!" he yelled out. the boy held the blonde's waist and drawed him closer, when the other's breath began to hitch, joshua could only chuckle at his new found control, "do you want the real thing too, hannie?"
"yes, dummy" jeonghan choked out, breathless and in shock from the sudden confidence the other had, "but knowing you, are you too scared to initiate it?" the blonde began laughing at the pissed off expression the other had on.
after a long awaited second, the brown haired male gently lifted the others chin up, "at least i have the decency to do it properly, love" he spoke quiely, tilting his head slightly as he pressed his lips on the angelic male's. the other's eyes fluttering shut, attempting to his smile through their short kiss.
when joshua pulled away, he couldn't help but giggle at the blonde who stuttered his words and kept a shy smile on his face, "are you sure you can manage that everyday?"
the flushed male lightly pushed the other, leaning on the slightly taller one's shoulder, "if you that everyday, i'd love it, rat, but you calling me cute pet names, i think i forgot to breathe. me calling you cute, mushy names is completely different when you do it" he rambled on.
"i'll make sure to do it more often" the male giggled and tackled the other into a tight hug, "let's cuddle before cheollie gets here, okay love?"
jeonghan then let out a sigh before nuzzling into the other's chest, shutting his eyes to catch up on much needed sleep after the pokemon marathon they had the previous night. maybe it wasn't the smartest decision, but joshua's insane love for scorbunny kept him up, the constant squeals and motivated screams from the other were loud enough to keep him awake.
as over an hour passed, they heard the lock outside click and the door slowly squeak open. the pretty photographer had come in to see his two lovers resting on his couch. kneeling over, he lightly shook their bodies, more so jeonghan's who was a light sleeper. when he finally stirred awake, the blonde was met with the adorable, bunny-like male who stared at him from a close distance, "the uh suit is coming later tonight" the black haired male spoke quiely, his head lowering down, "sorry i woke you up, hannie"
lifting the sleeping male off of him, the angelic male cupped the boy's cheeks with concerened eyes, "cheol, you don't need to apologize. we aren't mad at you at all. if anything, i'm afraid you'll be upset with us"
tilting his head, the photographer felt confused, what'd they do that he could possibly be mad at them? "what did you two do?" he asked quietly, afraid for something bad that could ruin their relationship.
"shua and i uh kissed? we aren't doing it to force you to do anything with us, cheollie, but i'm not going to say i didn't want to kiss him, because i did. we both felt you should know, we would never lie to you, bunny" jeonghan explained, running a hand through his messed up hair in an attempt to straighten it out.
seungcheol then gave a cute smile, stunning the angelic-like male. "you two are in a relationship too, i'm not stopping you from having your moments. besides, i'm fine with your other kisses for now" he gigged before jumping on the other and lightly pecking the blonde's cheek, "like that!"
they really did find the perfect people for each other, complimenting each other perfectly. who knew everything could turn out so perfectly?
