Hakyeon
SmittenJaehwan was not sure anymore when Hakyeon had started seeking him out to provide him comfort by sleeping in the same bed, but sometime during the years they had spent living together, it became an irregular thing that occasionally happened.
It was one of those nights again; Jaehwan found himself lying next to Hakyeon after Hakyeon had pleaded with him to let him sleep in his bed because he hadn’t felt relaxed enough to be able to handle being alone in his bedroom. So Jaehwan let him, because his bed was big enough and having Hakyeon's body there meant it would be even warmer in the room at night, which was a benefit.
Jaehwan closed his eyes and was just about to let sleep take him when the covers rustled loudly, Hakyeon squirming around unnecessarily like he always did. There was something, a sensation that Jaehwan couldn’t ignore, something that made him feel uncomfortable.
He opened his eyes again, and it took him a few seconds to focus in the dim light of his nightlight on Hakyeon's face that was just too close, his dark, bug-like eyes glinting as he stared at Jaehwan.
“What is it?” Jaehwan mumbled.
The corners of Hakyeon's lips curled up slowly, the smile spreading over his face like cheese melting on toast. He lifted his arm and touched the palm of his hand to Jaehwan's left cheek, caressing softly even as Jaehwan frowned at him.
“I love you so much,” Hakyeon said.
“Ugh, okay,” Jaehwan's face twisted. “Do you want something from me?”
“No,” Hakyeon replied, furrowing his brow in hurt. He pulled his hand back. “I just wanted to express my affection, but if that bothers you—”
“Honestly, it does.” Jaehwan scooted away a little. “I hate it when you become sentimental, so let’s just… sleep, okay?”
“Heartless.”
“I am.”
Hakyeon tipped his head back in an upset manner, and a moment later, he was lying on his other side, with his back at Jaehwan.
Not very surprisingly, Jaehwan woke up in the middle of the night to Hakyeon hugging his body to himself like Jaehwan was his personal teddy bear.
