himdae + daehyun getting extremely jealous about himchan being really close with jongup pleeeeeease
Look, Iâm rusty as hell and this feels all sorts of discombobulated.
Daehyun grew up without having to share. His brother held that burden, breaking off a piece of whatever he had just to give to Daehyun at his parents' insistence. His brother is one of the most generous people he knows now.
Daehyun memorized the steps to generosity, reluctantly, in a cramped dorm of five other boys with grabby hands, even worse that he wasnât the youngest anymore. Eating the last of the cereal even though Youngjae hadnât eaten yet wasnât sharing, taking up the rest of the hot water while Junhong was fighting sleep to take his shower wasnât caring, and hogging everyoneâs attention was frowned upon, too. Heâd end up doing it anyway when he wasnât being mindful.
Heâd remember his motherâs snarky words about other neighborhood kids not knowing how to share with others and how sheâd been grateful she raised her children to be kind.
Daehyun still has a lot to learn about sharing these days.
âCan you wait?â Himchan giggles in front of the stove, elbowing Jongup in his side as he keeps stirring his chopsticks in the small pot of noodles.
âJust a taste, hyung,â Jongupâs voice is already delirious with laughter.
Truth is, Daehyun is selfish. Some part of him too spoiled by his familyâs generosity and the fact that everything, everything was given to him in the largest chunks and he didnât have to split his share. Its turned into him wanting to covet Himchanâs time, space, attention, all of it for himself.
âHere, just a taste,â Himchan relents, holding the noodles up to Jongupâs mouth, âand then get out of the kitchen!â
Daehyun takes another swig of his beer and leans on the fridge, trying to keep the jealousy he feels broiling in his chest at bay. His stomach rolls, sick of himself. Itâs just Jongup and he wasnât like this before he and Himchan stumbled onto this thing theyâve got going on.
Those two have always been close. They live together for fucks sake, but Daehyunâs got his wires all crossed.
âMove!â Himchan is yelling, but heâs pulling Jongup in closer, smiling ear to ear like he might just kiss him.
â
When theyâre done eating they all pile into the living room to watch a shitty movie Youngjae found. With the lights off the city lights shimmer, distracting Daehyun as the movie starts up. Himchan sits on the floor next to him while Youngjae and Jongup fit themselves on the couch behind them.
The couple of beers heâs drank leave him buzzed, warm and kind of brave. Enough to twist his pinky around Himchanâs even though Youngjae and Jongup could surely see it over their shoulders without trying.
Himchan stares at him with low eyes and ruddy cheeks, and then does Daehyun one better by lacing their fingers together as he turns back towards the tv.
Daehyun swears Himchanâs hand trembles in his.
â
âWhat was that for?â Himchan whispers once they make it to his room.
He presses in close, pinning Daehyun to the door, kissing him one, two, three times like he canât pull away. Daehyun tightens his arms around his neck, bringing him impossibly closer, wants Himchan to feel how hot he is, let their bodies meld together in Himchanâs dark room.
âWhat was what?â
âYou donât everâlike, let meâ you know!â He hisses.
Himchanâs hands feel cool as they slide under his t-shirt, makes goosebumps raise and his nipples hard without much effort. Daehyun has to resist a hysterical giggle at Himchanâs desperate panting and shaky hands, knowing that if the light was on his face would be red as hell, too. All because of him.
âWhat, donât ever let you hold my hand in front of other people? In front of Youngjae or Jongup,â he says, petulant.
Himchanâs shoulders pull up, body going rigid, before tucking his face into Daehyunâs neck, right where his pulse is kicking up a storm.
Daehyun tilts his face towards the ceiling, head hitting the wood with a defeated thunk. Heâs always held on too tight and wanted too much. Himchanâs going to see him for the spoiled brat he really is.
âThat was mine, hyung!â Youngjae yells from his room, a screeching laugh following.
âI get it,â Himchan says after a minute of silence.
Daehyun keeps his eyes on the shadows dancing across the ceiling and swallows, throat so dry it clicks.
âGet what?â
âJealousy. Like, even though I know itâs hopeless, I still find that little crush you have on Yongguk annoying,â Himchan whispers, smiling as he pulls back to look at Daehyun.
Daehyun almost chokes him.
âI do notââ
âYeah, just like I donât have a crush on Jonguppie but youâre still upset. I get it. Itâs stupid, weâre stupid, but look at us.â
Daehyun can only make out so much of Himchanâs face in the dark but itâs still hard to look him in the eyes. Heâs taking twisted comfort in the fact that Himchanâs felt the same way he has and probably tried to talk himself down from another senseless precipice of possessiveness without much luck.
âItâs not healthy,â Daehyun mumbles.
âTalking about it is, though. Itâs best for us both to know that Iâm not interested in Jonguppie like that and you donât have a chance with Yongguk,â Himchan snickers, cupping Daehyunâs face with warm hands.
âHey!â Daehyun squawks, âIf I wanted to Iâd have a chance!â
The conversation loses traction as they stumble towards Himchanâs bed, Daehyunâs hands twisted in his shirt and his mouth hungry, wanting to make Himchan his only.
