Cuddles ~ Heuning Kai
Your eyes met as soon as he entered the room, the hardships the two of you had endured were yet to be spoken about, and yet somehow you both understood. Kai softly smiled as he stepped closer towards you until he was right by your side.
Instinctively, you rested into his side, allowing your eyelids to flutter shut. His touch was light against the exposed skin of your arm, reassuring you that he was at last back with you.
“I didn’t say anything wrong today, did I?” He asked you. His mind had been dreading coming home to you all day, having your name mentioned in every interview of the press conference, he felt a pressure to make sure he said the right things and not hurt you.
Your head nodded in response to him, having paid close attention to each interview as it came out. You knew the pressure he was under and how uncomfortable he must have been, but with each response he made you proud with how well he described your relationship.
His body softened with relief at your smile, allowing himself to fall back across the bed, pulling you down with him, keeping you closely into your side.
“You’ve worked hard today,” you whispered up to him, resting your hand against his chest. “I can’t imagine how stressful all of that must have been for you, but you handled it so well, and didn’t put a single foot wrong.” His head tilted down, pressing his lips to the top of your head as you continued, “why don’t we do something to help you relax?”
Plenty of ideas ran through his mind, but there was only one place that he wanted to be. After talking about you endlessly and imagining all these scenarios with you, all he wanted to do was just be back with you.
He knew you’d be sat all day listening to him, you always did whenever he had a broadcasted schedule. As the day went on you could see how tired he was becoming and how much everything was taking out of him.
Which was why, when he came home that night you knew that he probably would do nothing, it was always his routine. But if there was one thing you did enjoy about his busy days; it was how affectionate he became when the two of you settled at night.
The grip he held on you was a little bit tighter, his lips would press on you a little more often, and there were easily no complaints from you.
He kept you close as he turned your bodies around, so you laid out properly on the bed, he propped himself up with his pillow, allowing his body to be your own. His hands wrapped firmly around your waist as he began to reflect on his day, it wasn’t easy with all the jobs, but talking about you was the easiest job in the world.
“What’s on your mind?” You asked as he heavily sighed, “what did you make of today?”
“It was really good,” he assured you, kissing into your hairline, “I’m just thinking a lot about all the things we spoke about. I don’t think I really took a moment earlier to realise all the things I said, but now I can’t stop thinking about it.”
He’d spent so long talking about you without giving his words much thought, but as he thought back to them, he realised how true they were. There were many things he’d never said to you before out of embarrassment and fear, but maybe that was something he needed to change.
“What do you think about the things you said?” You queried, “because I’ve got some thoughts to if you want to hear them.”
Just as Kai realised, he hadn’t spoken so openly about his feelings, you were realising too all of these feelings he had for you that he’d never expressed before. It provoked plenty of thoughts in you too as your relationship played on your mind a lot.
“I’m just happy,” he whispered down to you.
Your head nodded in agreement; it was a mutual feeling between you both. Other feelings were never really discussed, but the two of you always made it a bit of a mission to make sure that the other knew that you made them happy.
As the two of you became more comfortable with each other, Kai especially began to talk more, but he always found himself getting too nervous before he could finish. There would always be a small part of a sentence that would be dropped that would leave you on the edge.
He liked to keep his feelings close, but when someone got him talking about you, he often found himself struggling to stop. Around anyone but you, he could talk about you all day.
“Is there anything else you wanted to say?” You asked.
His head nodded, “there’s a lot I could say, most of it I probably said today, but I’ll always feel bad that I’ve never actually said all of that to your face until now.”
“So, tell me.”
He chuckled lightly, it sounded easy when you put things like that, but when he’d always shied away from it, now he didn’t really know how to react.
“I hope that you already know how important you are to me,” he nervously spoke, “and I want to make sure you know that everything I said in the interviews today was true. You’re special, and beautiful, and funny, and if I don’t stop now then I probably won’t stop all night.”
“I wouldn’t complain if you told me about your feelings all night,” you teased, trailing several kisses along his jaw. “It was nice to hear you open up, even if I did already know all of those feelings were how you felt, hearing you say it just made it feel a lot more real.”
He smiled down at you, pressing his hand to the side of your face, not letting you look away from him, even for a second.
“I’ve always felt that actions speak louder than words, but nowadays I’m beginning to realise that words can be pretty impactful too.”
“Why don’t you use actions and words?”
With that, he tilted down to press his lips to yours, peppering several sweet, soft kisses across your face. You couldn’t help but blush at the delicate touch he held over you, taking care of you like he always did so well.
Once he eventually pulled away from you, he continued to hold you tightly into his chest, enjoying the feeling of you wriggling in his hold to try and get yourself some air.
“Now I’ve used my actions, let me use my words,” he hummed, “I’m falling so in love with you Y/N.”
Instantly, your hand pressed to his chest to pull yourself up and look at him. The L word was something you’d never heard come from his lips. He chuckled at the expression on your face, repeating his words once again to make sure you knew exactly what he’d said.
“I’m falling for you too,” you mumbled, “much more than I ever thought I would. Hearing everything you said today has just made me fall so much more for you.”
“I know I’m not the best at speaking out loud, but just trust me when I tell you I plan on keeping you with me forever, if that’s something you want too.”
“Of course, more than anything in the world.”
