Dream (Norenmin)

16

Same night....

After eating and all three cleaning the dishes they decided to make a pillow fort in the living room again. Jaemin was this first one to attack the two with pillows but they quickly teamed up and pinned him down, it only led to one make out session that Renjun was privy to watch. Jeno was quick to apologize but Renjun was just as quick to stop him.
"It was nice." He said quietly, yearning. He's been wanting both of these guys to kiss him but he knew they were holding back and once he figured out it was for each other he definitely wasn't going try to get in their way. He wants desperately to say something but he doesn't want them to think he's jealous, even though he may be slightly. Jaemin notices his internal struggle he's having by the strange look on his face and gently pulls him down to his level as he lies there breathless after what Jeno did to him. In all honesty for Renjun it makes him all the more appealing. After locking eyes for too long Jaemin finally pulled him in for a gentle kiss. Jeno watched on, his breath being held deep in his lungs. It's even prettier than he thought it would be. He feels like his heart is going to explode. When they slowly pull apart he can breath again but he can't take his eyes off the two.
"That was beautiful." He whispers taking the other two off guard and making them blush hard. They both rolled away in embarrassment making Jeno laugh.
They watched a few movies late into the night and Jeno finally feels like he has the courage to tell them.
"Guys?" He plays with his fingers nervously as he sits up against the couch waiting for them to pay attention.
"So um I just want to explain, this to you." He says pointing to the wounds on his face. Jaemin sees the tremble in his hands and holds them in his own before having Renjun take one as well. It helps Jeno to feel comforted by them but he still struggles.
"Take your time, we're here for you no matter what." Jaemin says looking at Renjun who nods in agreement.
"So I guess it would be considered a hate crime." They both gasp hearing this.
"I was showering after a literal all day work out and my muscles were jelly at this point so it felt good to finally stop and enjoy the hot water. W-when I was washing my hair they come after me. I didn't see them, I couldn't I had soap in my eyes and they had pushed me down. Then they started saying disgusting, hateful things b-but when they mentioned you two I was sick to my stomach. How could they say such horrible things about the two people I love the most?"
They were all three crying now. Renjun and Jaemin could feel the pain radiating off of him.
"How do they know about us?" Renjun asks cautiously.
"I'm guessing they've been watching me for a while, and probably seen you with me that night? I don't know it's weird though but anyway they called me a fag then touched me. They planned to rape me b-but that's when the police came in. I don't know who called but if it wasn't for them I don't know what would have happened." There was nothing but sounds of quiet crying in the room at this point, Jaemin moved in and hugged him. He held tight around his waist hoping to make him feel protected.
"I was scared, sick, angry, embarrassed. So many things and that's why it was hard for me to tell you." He strokes Jaemin's head and squeezes Renjun's hand.
"I'm still so sorry that I snapped at you when you asked Jaem. You didn't deserve that at all. I just work so hard to build up my muscles and then when I actually need to use them I'm helpless. I felt, still feel useless and stupid." Jaemin sits up quickly.
"You are none of those things! You were in a vulnerable position and they were cowards for taking advantage of that. I'm so sorry that you went through that Jeno." Jeno smiles softly through his tears. Renjun has cuddled himself into him and sits silently crying, not really sure what to say.
"When I was about to b-be assaulted all I could think about was that it was better me than either of you. Just that thought alone was bringing me peace. I love you. Both of you and wether or not you feel the same for me is fine I just want you to know." Jaemin abruptly got up and left the room only to come back a few minutes later with three glasses of water. He helped Jeno and Renjun to their feet and brought them to his bed. Nobody argued, it was late and they've had an emotional day. Of course Jeno was in the middle while the other two crawled in and held him.
"Good night Jeno. I love you, nothing will ever change that. You will always be my hero." Jaemin says before he kisses him softly on the lips.
"Yes you are my hero too. I think you are brave and I love you too." Renjun says softly. They all shared soft goodnight kisses and finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
It was a soft quiet ending to the roller coaster day they have all had.
