the early morning sun peeked through the lacework fabric of the white curtains, drawing a bright glow onto the two faces of the still peacefully asleep boys. chests rising up and down in unison together with steady breaths and occasional snores.
while wonwoo was quite a calm sleeper, mingyu stirred and twisted a lot in his sleep. which was, miraculous, absolute no bother to wonwoo, who slept through every movement and change of position.
the temperature in the room dropped to quite an average warmth again, making wonwoo only crawl closer in his arms through the night. even when he started waking up, getting back to consciousness, aware of his surroundings or better said; the arms around him.
he didn't flinch, nor question how he ended up in this position. in fact, he buried his face a little deeper in mingyu's bare chest, embracing himself in his body warmth. mingyu's fingertips brushing agains the bare skin of his back felt like a little touch of heaven, sent down to earth by the greek god-like boy who held him in his arms.
warmth. comfort. safety. coziness.
a lot of feelings were included when wonwoo inhaled his warm yet manly scent of aftershave. or the scent of brand new wood that circulated through the entire house of seokmin, but had a stronger smell in the fresh early morning air.
the scenario got even more like a fairytale the moment wonwoo opened his eyes, allowing the light in as he peeked through just his eye lashes, dragging his gaze all over mingyu's toned muscles up to his face. he was so mesmerized by the relaxed look mingyu held, his mouth slightly opened with a small pool of drool flowing down his cheek. his beautiful golden hair hung over his eyes, making it hard for wonwoo to see in what state the upper half of his face was.
carefully he brought a hand up to his face, allowing his slender fingers to wipe away the few stray strands of hair that covered his forehead. despite the fact that wonwoo's actions were just tender and gentle, mingyu scrunched his nose and furrowed his eyebrows when he felt movement, squeezing his eyes together because of the sudden amount of sunlight that shone in his face.
however, his confusion disappeared as soon as it came the moment he realized he was together with wonwoo, who dived back in the pillow as soon as mingyu moved. but mingyu, of course, was well aware that it had been wonwoo who touched his forehead. a lighthearted smile appeared on his face when he came to full realization.
"good morning wonwon." wonwoo's heart skipped a beat, caused by mingyu's raspy and low morning voice, which appeared to be a few octaves lower than his usual sound.
"g-good morning." he couldn't even suppress a stutter when he replied, still embarrassed how mingyu had woken up because of his careless mind. he should have resisted the sudden urge to run his fingers through his fluffy morning hair
"it felt great, please go on.." mingyu groaned, making wonwoo's heart pound louder than usual. the golden haired boy still refused to open his eyes, the amount of sunlight that filled the room being simply too much for his vision this early in the morning.
"i didn't do anything?" wonwoo tried to convince mingyu, getting nervous for no specific reason. didn't he fall asleep in mingyu's arms last night? he wished he would be able to continue his previous actions, but his insecurities had to get in the way again.
"you played with my hair, go on." mingyu moved his head a little closer to wonwoo, unconsciously tickling the elders nose with his silky soft hair.
"i didn't." wonwoo had to fight the urge to wrap his arms around mingyu's shoulder and pull him all the way against his chest this time instead of the other way around. the scent of his hair entered his nose, filling his body with a sense of warmth and safety.
"yes you did." mingyu mumbled again, not moving from his current position, making it harder for wonwoo to resist the tall guy "then how about a good morning kiss?"
wonwoo's heartbeat instantly picked up speed, even when he reminded himself they had continuously kissed the night before. however, he didn't have time to return a proper answer as mingyu impatiently moved up, leaning on both his hands and capturing wonwoo in a quick kiss.
"good morning." mingyu repeated himself, their foreheads brushing against each other as his honey brown eyes opened slowly, taking in every single detail wonwoo's face contained, but mostly staring back into wonwoo's hazel orbs.
wonwoo scrunched his nose, pulling a disgusted face. "your breath smells bad, get off me." he complained in his utterly deep voice, which only resulted in mingyu lifting up both corners of his lips, smiling playfully.
"come on.. don't be like that wonwon." mingyu whined, pouting at the boy underneath him.
"don't be like what? aren't you the one laying on top of me trying to kill me with your bad morning breath?"
mingyu giggled, dropping his body down next to wonwoo as he ignored his complains and acted as if it were compliments. "then, can i at least cuddle you?" and that was when wonwoo knew, he wasn't able to resist mingyu any longer.
"just come here already, dummy." wonwoo offered, opening his arms to allow mingyu closer to him again. the puppy like male grinned cheekily, dropping his clumsy body without a warning in wonwoo's arms as he snuggled his nose in the well defined features of wonwoo's milky-white neck. "god, you're heavy."
"i can't exactly help the fact that i'm muscular, but i'm glad you noticed." mingyu chuckled, sending a shiver down wonwoo's bare spine when he felt his warm breath against his neck.
"mingyu. you do more sports than i've ever done in my entire life. you can help the fact that you're muscular." wonwoo couldn't suppress a small giggle as well, entangling his fingers in mingyu's golden hair, gently massaging his scalp.
"mhm.. if you say so.." mingyu said, taking in the warm scent that lingered on wonwoo's body, noticing it smelled so much better this early in the morning. wonwoo's fingers worked wonders on his head, making him hum in satisfaction every now and then, wishing for it to never end. "you know.. i like this a lot."
wonwoo raised an eyebrow, looking down at mingyu who lay on his chest, eyeing his golden mess of hair that he played with. "what?" he carefully asked, feeling how mingyu nuzzled a little closer against his neck.
"waking up like this, the atmosphere, us." and even when mingyu didn't receive a proper answer, he just knew his words made wonwoo feel warm on the inside.
or at least the way he tightened his grip around mingyu's shoulders proved him enough.
