when their lips meet in a soft, affectionate still, the idol wants nothing more than for time to stop completely, basking fully in the way minjae has crescent moon eyes that could light up the sky, a tender smile that never fails to make his heart swell to uncontainable proportions. he supposes it should scare him a little, how much he feels for the other –– but with minjae taemin finds he’s absolutely fearless, willing to take every risk and every plunge just so he can keep this man by his side. he still doesn’t know how he’d managed to become so lucky as to get someone like minjae to know him –– much less love him –– but the player member is the happiest he’s ever been, so grateful to have this second chance with lee minjae as his own.
the compliment brings a pink to his cheeks as well, and for a moment taemin drops the other’s gaze, hints of sheepishness lacing the previous bright expression his features once held. radiant, minjae calls him –– as if he himself isn’t the most dazzling sight taemin’s ever laid eyes on; when his eyes meet minjae’s features again the idol can’t help the way his own gaze folds into crescent moons, smile transcending the expanse of his face as a hand reach to caress the younger’s cheeks, the other pulling him even closer.
“i’m only reflecting your light.” speaks taemin truthfully, leaning in for the brushing of lips against his once more, eyes fluttering shut in the calmness of it all. it’s a peace that permeates, keeping the other’s frame painfully close to his own. when they break apart the bright smile spread across his face is inevitable, thumb swiping over his boyfriend’s cheek with affection, and taemin leans back into the comfort of his pillow, still cradling the other against his chest. the sun filters in through the blinds once more, allowing light to peek through in scattered droves; the idol only hums in response, burying the both of them in unmade blankets, wrapped up in a world of their own. “i don’t want to moooove.”
and it’s true; he’s magnetized to the other’s frame, the player member perfectly content in lying next to minjae for the rest of the day. but schedules call and promotions have to be done, and although he loves his time with minjae more than anything, the last thing he’d want to do is let his fans down. “you’ve put a spell on me, haven’t you, minmin?” taemin teases, laughter lacing his lips with a warm smile. “seems like i just can’t seem to leaaaave this bed!”
chuckles fill the air, now; they’re slow and hoarse, thanks to taemin’s groggy morning voice, but nonetheless the idol laughs anyway, happiness around the other something of an almost second nature. “i love you, you know that?” he speaks, suddenly, but the abruptness of the words doesn’t mask the sincerity they hold, eye smile practically radiant as he glances over at his lover with unparalleled fondness. “’mmm– what time’s your first schedule for today?”
