I dont want a chance of that happening again tomorrow night.

Jaemin was zoned out in his thoughts, his unfocused eyes trained on the cash register and his mind on his late night shift the next day.

"Hi can I get two hot chocolates, one with extra marshmallows, oh and one Na Jaemin please," A familiar voice brought Jaemin out of his thoughts.

"That'll be $7.53," Jaemin said with a monotone, opening the register before snapping his head up. "Wait what?"

In front of him was Jeno, who had clearly had just gotten out of practice. His messy black hair and still slightly flushed face being the dead give away.

Jeno chuckled, running a hand through his hair before pulling out his wallet and grabbing the money.

Jaemin left to go make the drinks. Why the hell would Jeno need two drinks? Was he going on a date or something?

Jaemin pouted slightly at the thought but started putting extra marshmallows in one of the hot chocolates that he himself would usually like.

"When do you get out Jaem?" Jeno raised an eyebrow at him and handed him the money.

"Uh," Jaemin peered at the clock behind him.

"You can leave early Jaemin," His temporary boss called to him, probably hearing their conversation.

"Now I guess," Jaemin shrugged.

"Ok let's go then," Jeno smiled tilting his head towards the door.

"What? Go where?" Jaemin furrowed his brows.

Did he forget a plan they made?

"We haven't hung out in a while," Jeno looked away. "I left practice early to catch you at the end of your shift."

"Why would you do that?" Jaemin pouted again as they exited the door.

"I wanted hot cocoa too," Jeno shrugged, adjusting his hands on the cups.

"So that's why you ordered two?"Jaemin eyed the cups again.

"Hmm? No," Jeno shook his head. "This one is for you."

Jeno smiled, handing him the one with extra marshmallows and throwing his arm over Jaemins shoulder.

"Thanks Jeno-ya," Jaemin smiled softly, taking a sip of his cocoa.

"Where are we going?" Jaemin asked after they had been walking for a while.

"Just wait you'll see in a second."

They kept walking until they stopped in front of a playground. It was a bit later in the evening so it was empty.

"A playground?" Jaemin giggled. "What are we five?"

"I thought we could play around for a while," Jeno shyly grinned.

Jaemin giggled before pushing Jeno's arm off his shoulders and running towards the playgrounds swing set.

"Yah! Wait for me," Jeno laughed before running after the younger boy.

"Jeno, let's have a contest!" Jaemin beamed at him. "Let's see who can swing the highest."

Jeno agreed getting on the swing beside Jaemin.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok you win Nana," Jeno stopped swinging, dragging his feet against the ground to stop himself from swinging. He got off the swing and stood in front of Jaemins swing to watch how high the boy was actually going.

Jaemin was swinging higher and higher by the second.

"Haha, I told you I w-" Jaemins hand slipped from the chain and the next thing he knew he was falling.

He yelped loudly as he was propeled forward. He squeezed his eyes shut, prepared to face plant and probably break his nose or hit his head.

But the ground never came.

"Umph," A huff came from below him. He felt a hand on his head and an arm wrapped tightly around his waist.

"Jeez Jaemin," Jeno coughed from the force of having to catch Jaemin. Unfortunately it as less graceful than he anticipated and the force knocked them both on the ground anyway.

"Oh my god, Jen. I am so sorry!" Jaeming squealed, sitting up so he was sitting on Jenos stomach.

Jeno let out a huff before sitting up too. Jaemin slipped down, now straddling his lap.

"You ok? Are you hurt anywhere?" Jeno peered into his eyes softly, searching his face for injuries.

Close.

Too close. Jaemin determined.

"I-" Jaemin couldn't speak.

If he even moved an inch then their lips would touch. He could feel Jeno's warm breath on his lips and he could smell the hot chocolate they just drank. The thought of hot chocolate reminded him of the chocolate eyes staring into his.

"Nana?" Jeno furrowed his brows at the lack of response. He moved Jaemins bangs apart slightly with one finger. 

Jaemin took a shuddered breath at the intimate action.

"Yeah," Jaemin breathed out, trying to slid of Jeno's lap. "I'm good."

"You sure?" Jeno's hands made their way to his waist to stop him from getting up. "Then smile for me."

"What?" Jaemin raised a brow.

Jeno flipped their position and placed his hands beside Jaemin's head.

"You'll smile if you're happy," Jeno leaned closer to his face. "So if you're actually fine then smile."

"Jeno that's ridiculous," Jaemin rolled his eyes before giving him a fake 2 second tight lipped smile. "Now get off me you goon."

"Ah you've given me no other choice Nana," Jeno sighed sitting up.

"What do y-JENO STOP," Jaemin cackled as Jeno began to tickle his sides.

"JENO STOP PLEASE," Jaemin let out through constant giggles.

"I dont know Nana," Jeno continued his relentless tickling. "I kinda like hearing you laugh."

"JENO PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING!" Jaemin screeched, a tear rolling down his face.

"Anything?" Jeno stopped his ministrations.

"Yes, just please stop," Jaemin said out of breath.

"Ok," He got up and held out his hand for Jaemin.

"I haven't had dinner yet," Jeno smiled.

"Ugh, I'll make you food at my place," Jaemin fake huffed, he kinda missed making Jeno food. "I swear you only like me to cook for you."

"That's not true. Like I said before, I like your laugh too," Jeno poked a finger in his side causing him to giggle before swatting Jeno's hand away.

"Oh shut it," Jaemin smiled as they walked back to his house.
