namjoon woke up before yoongi. that wasn’t uncommon, as yoongi liked to sleep in when he could, and today was a saturday. the sun woke him up, shining bright and cheery into their room.
he took a minute to appreciate yoongi’s features in the sunlight that shone through the window, framing yoongi’s face in a soft glow; his cute nose, cat-like eyes, the small acne spots on his forehead and jaw. his small mouth that seemed to perpetually be in a pout, and of course his rounded cheeks.
yoongi had put on some weight since starting college, namjoon saw. he was perfectly healthy before, but he liked to eat, and he didn’t play basketball as much anymore (rather, didn’t have the time) to keep the surprisingly lithe body he’d had. it didn’t help that seokjin cooked a feast when he came over once a week and they felt guilty if they didn’t at least try to eat it all.
most of the weight went straight to his stomach, which neither he nor yoongi was mad about. but the rest went straight to his cheeks, providing him with dumpling-shaped pouches that were soft to the touch.
he resisted the urge to reach over and squish, knowing that yoongi was a light sleeper and the touch would definitely wake him up. instead, he continued to gaze at his face, knowing the expression on his own was one of a lovestruck idiot.
eventually, about a half hour later, yoongi’s nose twitched adorably as he woke and namjoon smiled softly, moving some of the hair away from yoongi’s forehead. “morning hyung,” namjoon whispered, coughing hard to clear his voice. yoongi smiled back at him, one of those sweet and soft gummy smiles that namjoon knew were only used with him. “morning joon-ah. you slept okay?”
namjoon nodded and extended out a hand to put on yoongi’s cheek, running his thumb over his cheekbone.
“slept great hyung, you know i sleep great when you’re with me.” namjoon continued running his thumb across yoongi’s cheek, feeling the soft and squishy skin.
“your skin is so soft hyung, like it kinda feels like how your hands feel after you wash them with downy.”
yoongi laughed at that, placing his own hand over namjoon’s to make him cup his cheek. namjoon complied of course, shifting in the bed to have a better angle to hold his cheek in his hands.
“it’s true! especially your cheeks. they’re like little stress balls. or maybe mochi? just think of anything soft and round. that’s what your cheeks feel like.”
yoongi smiled at him and opened his mouth, ready to make a lewd joke about another body part that was soft and round before he was silenced with a gentle kiss from namjoon.
it wasn’t really a true kiss, just namjoon pressing his lips onto yoongi’s softly. namjoon smelled his morning breath, and he was sure that yoongi could smell his as well. at the moment, however, neither of them cared much.
namjoon pulled back before things could escalate past those pecks and took to gazing at yoongi again, knowing there was an absolutely besotted look on his features.
yoongi blushed under the attention and hid his face into the pillow. he whined at namjoon, and he could see the tips of yoongi’s ears go red. he always did blush so easily.
“stop looking at me like that joon-ah,” yoongi said into the pillow, his words muffled. namjoon laughed and sat up, dragging yoongi up with him to begin their day. “never,” namjoon replied, kissing yoongi on his temple and tugging him into his lap. he ran his hand down yoongi’s bare chest and let it rest on his stomach.
“you like it when i do that hyung,” namjoon teased, “don’t even deny it.”
and yoongi didn’t deny it.
“love you namjoonie,” yoongi whispered instead. he felt namjoon’s grin against the back of his neck, and god, he was so in love with this man.
“love you too hyung,” namjoon whispered back, hugging him tighter to his chest.
