watching his boyfriend with worried eyes, graham’s gaze traveled from the wreck that he was expressing himself to be towards the paper he was filling out in the kitchen. he let the rambling continue before adding in his own words. as he would go to open his mouth, he would reply with a quiet sigh. his replies would be a mixture of expressions, ranging from knitted brows to his jaw dropping slightly at the misfortune at the others expense. he picked up the papers and walked himself over to sit beside him, “i have a lot of questions,” graham’s eyes focused back on the paper as his pen moved across it once again, “babe, why didn’t you sleep?” his lacking the usual charming tone, “two, who said drinking that much coffee was a good idea?” he paused his writing to look at him now. “god you look like a mess, i mean that in a good way but you look like a mess.” graham reached over to tilt jae’s face to one side to see how tired he really looked. “it happens because you’re out of it and because you don’t sleep, idiot.” he dropped his hand and picked up the pen once more, as he waved it he gave some thought into his stained shirt. “we have those stain removal pods, just go pop it in right now and when you do that, you’re going to give me a solid reason as to why you weren’t asleep.” he lapsed his hand around jae’s thigh and forced a smile to his face despite his look expressing concern.
jaewon’s gaze softened at the sight of graham, a heavy sigh expelling from his lungs as he prepared himself for the plethora of questions that would ensue. with his eyes screwed shut on the couch, he could only peep through one eye at his boyfriend as an invitation to spill before closing them once more initially, jae could only offer a shrug, his own brows knitted thoughtfully as he sifted through the many reasons that sleep couldn’t come to him. “every time i try it just doesn’t happen.” he opted simply, shoulders bobbing in a shrug. “the first cup didn’t do anything, so i tried drinking another, and another, and another ...” his voice droned on, finally opening his eyes to meet graham’s concerned gaze. “you can guess where that took me. i thought the more i drank the faster it would work. guess you can blame getting no sleep on that one.” jaewon teased, his tone airy with his familiar humor. “thank you so much for the reassurance. i don’t think there’s a way for that to be good, but i appreciate the honesty.” he lightheartedly quipped, offering tired eyes as he grinned at the boy who approached. “i’ll do it in a little, i’m comfortable right now.” he insisted, sinking further into the couch as he reached forward to rest his own hand on graham’s, looking down at his shirt with a deep sigh. “how about we ignore the fact that i didn’t sleep, and you tell me about your day instead. please tell me it’s been better than mine.”
