[Thirty-Four]

A/N: I love them.

(Same day)

*9 p.m. for Jaemin, 1 p.m. for Jeno*

"What do you think Chenle's gonna say when he sees what we said in his chat?" Jeno asked after he and Jaemin said their hellos.

"I didn't think about that," Jaemin giggled, taking out his food as Jeno lit candles on his nightstand. "Candles?"

"It's romantic." Jaemin nodded and giggled again, making Jeno playfully scoff. "I'm sorry for trying to make this virtual date actually good." He said it in a pouty mocking tone and Jaemin started laughing.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jeno," he said as he tried to catch his breath while still slightly laughing. "Your reaction is what made me start laughing, silly!" Jeno chuckled and put the lighter down before getting his own food. "This is my first date."

Jeno looked at his eyes through the screen and smiled while nodding. "Okay. Well, I'll make it a good first date for you then," he said as he opened a bottle of something that he wasn't showing Jaemin.

"What do you have?"

"Nothing." He got up from his bed to get a glass and Jaemin sighed.

"I don't care if you drink alcohol. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean you're not allowed to."

Jeno came back and awkwardly smiled while taking a drink from his cup, laughing himself when Jaemin opened a can of coke to drink.

"You're a baby, aren't you?"

"I'm your baby."

Jeno gasped and made a fake shocked face, but it only made them start laughing more, causing Jaemin to spit out the drink he was taking.

"Nana!" Jeno yelled, playfully tsking. "See, now you have a mess to clean up."

"It's your fault!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

They were both in a fit of giggles as Jaemin got a towel to clean himself off, and then they started eating their food. They were in the middle of talking when Jaemin's bedroom door opened and he looked up to see who it was.

"Can you shut up please?"

Jaemin's smile dropped and he nodded. "Sorry. I'll keep it down."

The door slammed shut and Jaemin looked back at the camera with an obvious fake smile on.

"Who was that?"

"My dad." Jeno nodded and awkwardly took a bite of his food. "I don't get why my mom hasn't kicked him out yet. He's such an asshole. I would literally rather have a step dad. That's saying a lot. I just wish I had a dad that cared about me."

"Maybe someday you will," Jeno said, looking at him with a small smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Someday, hopefully, you'll have my dad."

Jaemin's eyes lit up and he sat there for a second, completely shocked at what he just said.

Is Jeno implying what Jaemin thinks he is?

"Are you saying that you want to marry me in the future?"

Jeno's smile never changed as he said, "Maybe."

And then Jaemin lost it, grabbing his pillow and hiding his face in it like a little kid who just saw their crush and got shy.

Well, that's kind of exactly what happened.

"This is surprising coming from the person who's favorite thing to say is "it's too early for that"," Jaemin said, still hiding his face so Jeno wouldn't see his red cheeks.

"Well not right now obviously. We only started dating like eighteen days ago or something."

"Really? It feels like so much longer." Jeno nodded in agreement and went to go put an album in his CD player. "I don't know why. It just feels like we've know each other for longer than two months. Maybe it's because I've been so happy during this time that-" he stopped talking when he heard House of Cards start playing.

Then Jeno laid back on his bed, but was laying on his side with his head resting on his hand. "Continue," he said in a deep voice, biting his lip while admiring Jaemin's body.

"Ah, don't do that!" He yelled, putting his head in his pillow again from embarrassment.

Jeno start laughing again and Jaemin huffed. "Don't worry Baby. I'm just messing with you." The name made Jaemin even more shy and he crawled off his bed to get out of the camera's view, making it harder for Jeno to breathe from laughing too hard.

*12 a.m.*

"Do you wanna go to sleep?" Jeno asked Jaemin who looked like he was ready to pass out after talking for three hours.

"No," the boy said, grabbing his phone and rolling onto his stomach. "We don't usually talk on the phone for that long."

"You have school tomorrow Jaemin. We can talk more on the weekend."

Jaemin sighed and nodded. "Okay. Love you." He didn't say anything else and just stared at Jeno, waiting for his reaction.

"No excuse for why you said it this time?"

"No excuse."

Jeno nodded and closed his eyes while whispering, "I love you too Jaemin."
