Chap 4 - "Comfortable"

Yeonjun was nervous, he could tell.

The younger's hands were shaking, he was biting on his bottom lip, and he wouldn't look Soobin in the eye.

The older locked the car and led the way to the front door of the new townhouse they were to live at - a gift from their families. It was located in the Gangnam District, close enough to Soobin's work and Yeonjun's university.

Yeonjun had his own car already parked in the driveway next to Soobin's own. The older supposed it was easier that way so they could both get to their destinations in the mornings with no hassle.

Yeonjun remained nervous while Soobin gave him the tour; he was jumpy when the older suggested he showered first. And now, after Soobin had taken his own shower and walked back into the bedroom, he couldn't help but watch in amusement as Yeonjun fidgeted on the bed.

The younger raised his head to see him all clean and in fresh pajamas and promptly turned red.

"U-Um.. Sorry... I.. This is weird.."

Soobin smirked, his mischievous side coming out. "Are you a virgin Yeonjun-ssi?"

Yeonjun looked scandalized as he glared at his husband. "What? No!"

The older moved closer, causing Yeonjun to scoot back into the bed. Soobin followed him and caged him against the bed with his arms.

"Then this shouldn't be an issue, right? Don't worry. I'll take care of you. I promised your parents that I would."

Soobin made sure to lower his voice as if caressing the words with his tongue. He may not have had many relationships, but he was familiar with seducing. And it worked just as well on his husband. He watched the red on Yeonjun's face darken and spread from his cheeks to the rest of his ace and even his ears.

Cute.

He watched the younger squirm a little more before taking pity on him and pulling back. With a laugh, he ruffled Yeonjun's freshly-washed hair, affectionately.

"Relax, will you?" he teased. "Now scoot over, I'm tired. Today was long."

Without another word, he plopped into the bed. Placing his arms behind his head, he closed his eyes.

At first, all was quiet except for the quiet deep breaths from the younger next to him.

It had really been a long day and Soobin was utterly exhausted. He barely ate at the reception too, since he was taken from one guest to another who wished to extend their congratulations on his marriage and talk about business. All that delicious food and he barely got a taste.

A throat cleared.

"Um.. Soobin?" Yeonjun's voice was hesitant and shy. "We aren't going to..?"

Soobin opened his eyes and lifted his body from the bed, turned his head to the younger with an inquiring look. "Do you want to? Would you be comfortable?"

Yeonjun blushed deep tomato red again and the older wondered if he was about to pass out soon. Surely, with all the blood going to his head, he'd be down by now.

"I..um.."

"You can be honest. I won't be offended and I can understand you. I promise."

Yeonjun took a deep breath and for the first time since they arrived at their new home, he looked Soobin in the eye.

"No, I don't," he said firmly. "This whole arrangement.. I didn't want it."

"I know," Soobin nodded in understanding. "But there is nothing we can do now. We are married, we signed the papers and took our vows in front of a hall full of business associates and our family." He smiled, kindly at his cute little husband.

"But, don't worry, there's no need to consummate our marriage. I'm not going to force you into something you don't want to do. Besides, it's not like anyone will find out. You can't get pregnant anyway. Unless..." He sent the younger a teasing smile. "there's something you haven't told me and my family?"

Immediately Yeonjun scowled and punched his shoulder. 

"You are annoying," he stated, nostrils flaring. With a huff, he turned around and brought the covers up to his head. "Night," his muffled voice mumbled from under the blanket.

For a minute or so, Soobin could only stare at the younger man in astonishment. There it was. The flare of stubbornness and arrogance that he had heard so much about but have yet seen...until that moment.

And it made him smile.

That means Yeonjun was starting to get more comfortable with him. And maybe soon, he will get comfortable with the idea of being married to Soobin.

He was looking forward to it.
