OCC&KJF - 10/10
Jinki and Jonghyun stepped out of Jinki's now empty house, adjusting some things on their arms, Jinki was holding a box of cupcakes and Jonghyun was holding some gifts, they were going to attend some early Christmas party, which they were excited about, but the only problem was transportation, it was snowing really hard that day, and it didn't seem to be stopping soon. But having no car or the patience to wait for a bus or taxi, they decided to walk, it wasn't that far anyway, scratch that, it kind of was.
''Are you alright?'' Jonghyun asked, his voice slightly muffled by the blue scarf Jinki personally wrapped around him before, and Jinki nodded, reassuringly.
And they started to walk slowly, their feet sinking in the snow and not regretting the decision to wear boots that day either, the wind was blowing hard and Jinki had to stop and go back to get the red, knitted hat that flew off his head several times, which Jonghyun securely put back on every time.
''Should I like glue this to your head or something?'' Jonghyun jokes, adjusting the hat on Jinki's head for the third time, and Jinki laughed a bit, he was usually oblivious to jokes Jonghyun told, but he couldn't help but laugh at the image of a hat glued to his head.
''Why didn't you wear a hat too?'' Jinki reaches up to finger Jonghyun's dark short locks, that had some flakes of snow scattered over the top, and he giggled a bit at the sight, a wide smile reaching his lips.
''I would, but somebody is wearing my hat,'' Jonghyun answers, smirking a bit and Jinki was confused, not getting the joke and adjusted the box of cupcakes on his right arm, and titled his head a bit, innocently.
''Really? I wonder who.. Oh well, I can always buy you one if they don't give it back,'' Jinki replies already forgetting that Jonghyun lent him his own hat because he said something about Jinki's head being all important and superior to his own, and drifts away from the conversation when a snowflake falls on his nose, he smiles when Jonghyun leans over and presses his lips to his nose, taking the snowflake along with him, also ditching the subject, and Jinki laughs a bit at Jonghyun's silliness, until they realized that they been standing around doing nothing for a while, and it was going to get late if they didn't leave now.
''Come on Angel,'' Jonghyun said, already ahead of Jinki. Jinki smiled at the nickname, and lifted up his legs to go join his boyfriend, but he has reached a problem. His legs were stuck in the snow, and he whimpered a bit, trying to lift up his legs, he now regrets standing in one position in the snow for too long, the snow was a little higher than his ankles, and it seemed to be hard too.
''Jonghyun, I can't get my legs out!'' Jinki cries out, and Jonghyun only chuckles a bit, ''What? I'm not kidding! Get me out before I get buried in snow and die here!''
Jonghyun set the gifts down on the snow, and reached down to push most of the snow away, and grab Jinki under his armpits as if he was lifting a child, and pulled him out with all his strength, it took at least three times until Jinki finally got out, and they fell back on the snow, laughing a bit, and wondering how that even happend, but they didn't question it because everyday was a surprise.
''Cold...'' Jinki mumbles, when they finally left Jinki's yard that wasn't even really that big, yet it seemed like a maze to get out of there. Now carefully walking on the sidewalk, not many people were outside, well more like none. The roads were all iced up that kept getting covered with snow, and the sidewalk had snow all over it, matching the yards, yet it was pretty because of the Christmas lights and decorations around, and snow always topped everything, despite the fact that it's really cold, they enjoyed it anyway.
''I know what can warm you up,'' Jinki turned to look at Jonghyun jumping at the chance to get warm, and was only surprised in to a chaste kiss, he blushed, already feeling himself warm up.
''Once more.. I'm still cold,'' Jinki whispered shyly when they pulled back, and Jonghyun only complied, pressing his lips to Jinki's again.
''Again..''
''One more..''
They were about to lean in again on Jinki's request, but Jinki's cellphone rang, emitting high-paced, catchy music, and they pulled away from eachother quickly, realizing what was going on, Jinki searched through his pocket with and answered with shaky hands, trying to calm down his blush, what was he thinking? He just couldn't stop, it felt as if he wasn't even controlling his brain at the time, he felt really embarrassed, Jonghyun was probably confused or something, he felt himself getting more red as he thought about it more.
Jonghyun on the other hand was surprised Jinki would be so forward about kissing, he would usually have to ask for one, and just hope Jinki would kiss him, but he could tell things were going to change from now on, he smiled and rubbed the back of his neck while Jinki was talking with someone over the phone.
''Yeah.. What? Do you really need that?''
Jinki sighed, ''Okay, fine.. We'll run over before we come, ok.'' he muttered a goodbye before groaning and sliding his phone back in his jacket pocket, and turned to Jonghyun, still blushing and averting his eyes.
''Who called?'' Jonghyun questioned curiously, trying to save Jinki the embarrassment that he was currently struggling with, he didn't mind the kissing at all really, he enjoyed kissing Jinki a lot.
''Oh, it was just Kibum.. He answered, thinking that he didn't look as red anymore, and snuggled his face in his scarf, ''He said that we should run by the store really quick, they ran out of soda! We have to get it for them, quickly!'''
Jonghyun nodded, Jinki of course was too nice and wouldn't say no to Kibum, so he agreed, he was meaning to go to the store anyway.
They were quiet for most of the walk, but then Jinki suddenly tripped over a huge patch of snow with a shriek, and grabbed on to anything, and the closest thing was Jonghyun who was pulled down along with him, the gifts and the box full of cupcakes following suit.
''The cupcakes!'' Jinki recovers first, and got up on his knees, he was already used to falling down all the time, and crawled over to the discarded box, and took a peek inside, perfect, but a little frosting out a place, he can touch that up later, he sighs thankfully, and Jonghyun picked up the gifts again, and helped his boyfriend up, and helped him wipe the snow off his pants and jacket, who thanked him timidly afterwards.
''You know, to prevent this,'' Jonghyun began, tucking his scarf down to his chin so he could talk clearly, ''We should hold hands, we can't fall again that way right? Unless you pull me down again,'' He finished, suggesting and Jinki blushed, but blamed it on the cold and nodded, of course, they wouldn't want to fall again!
''Ok,'' Jinki replied and grinned to reach out for Jonghyun's gloved hand, and they intertwined their fingers and walked a bit closer together, it was nice and warm, Jinki felt as if he was drinking hot chocolate next to a fire, which he would like to do yet they had to get to the store, then Kibum's party, and he groaned, realizing the fact that he lived sort of far from him.
''You should get a car,'' Jinki whined childishly when they finally stopped, waiting to cross the road, ''We could like, die from this snow!''
''Driving has too many rules, and I'm way too lazy to learn them, at least now.'' Jonghyun fought back, ''Plus if we walk together, that means I get to spend more time with you,'' he finished cheesily, turning his head to wink at the older, who got all flustered and blushed, Jonghyun DID have a point.
''Oh wait.. but that means if I'm going to see you, then it'll take longer to get to you,'' Jonghyun continued, frowning a bit when they finally move to cross the road, his hands tightening over Jinki's protectively as they walked quickly with careful steps.
''That won't be a problem, if I just meet you halfway!'' Jinki exclaims, grinning and speeding up a bit to race Jonghyun to the sidewalk,
''You're going to get hurt!'' Jonghyun cries out, trying to run on the ice to catch up with Jinki.
''What? No I'm not!'' he spins around briefly to stick his tongue out at Jonghyun, then turns back around and continues to run on the sidewalk, but completely regrets it when he slips on a patch of ice and lands on his bottom roughly, and Jonghyun catches up to him, laughing loudly and Jinki just sat there pouting, until Jonghyun finally offered out his hand, to help Jinki up.
''Here, your butt has snow all over it..'' Jonghyun says while gesturing for Jinki to turn around, which the older did hesitantly, and Jonghyun used his hand to swipe all the snow off of his jacket and butt, gaining a squirming and blushing Jinki.
''I-I think that's enough, stop touching my butt!'' He spins around before Jonghyun could see his blush, or touch it again, ''Pervert,'' he mumbles and walks on, leaving Jonghyun to pick up the box of the many cupcakes Jinki has discarded carelessly on the sidewalk, and only shrugged, it wasn't like he regretted anything.
--
When they finally entered the store, with much difficulty, Jinki scampered over to the side of the store that carried the drinks, so that left Jonghyun who was calmly browsing over things, but one thing caught his eyes. Couple rings... He heard that was a trend these days, it would be a first for him, for his past lovers he never really got this far because most of them were just using him for his popularity, and he wanted to try it out for Jinki, it's a symbol, for now at least that they're a couple and nothing could break that.
''Which one would fit us the best..'' he mused, looking over the selections, nothing quite caught his eyes, and he was about to just forget it, but a worker interrupted his thoughts.
''Have you found what you were looking for sir?'' The girl asked happily, brushing her long bangs out of her face, not really expecting him to ask for anything.
''Actually, I'm trying to look for a.. A ring for my boyfriend, he's really special to me and I don't know what would fit him, I want something really unique,'' he answered truthfully.
''What is he like?'' she asked, gazing at the rings that were sparkling in their cases.
''Well, he's like an angel...'' Jonghyun began, smiling as he talked about the older.
--
''I would like this wrapped too please, and hurry!'' Jonghyun exclaimed, looking around, Jinki said he was going to use the bathroom, clueless to what Jonghyun has bought, so Jonghyun was paying for the items, and hoped Jinki wouldn't come from the bathroom too soon to see what he's getting.
''Here you go,'' The cashier handed over the bag that had the soda in it, and another with the box of rings wrapped in pretty a pretty blue color, with snowmen scattered across the top.
''Thank you,'' Jonghyun said, and Jinki came out of the bathroom just in time, smiling and they walked out hand in hand, and the cashier and worker there looked at them with envy, couples..
--
sorry, i skipped the party, but it wouldn't have been much anyway!
After a long night full of dancing, and consuming a lot of food and soda, Jinki and Jonghyun finally stepped out of Kibum's house, that was slowly emptying, satisfied teens leaving the party one by one.
Jinki yawns, cheeks a little pink due to the cold, and his eyes half-lidded as he walked slowly, his hands in Jonghyun's. The snow finally stopped, and street lights lit up the street as they made their way to Jonghyun's house (Jonghyun suggested that it would be too long to get to Jinki's house and that he should just sleep at his own), stepping carefully to avoid snow or ice. Jonghyun already gave Jinki's first gift at the party, but he wanted to make the couple rings thing special, so he would wait until they got home, but the anticipation was eating him.
''You alright?'' Jonghyun asked as Jinki slowed a bit, walking sleepily, and he rubbed at his eyes.
Jinki hummed in response, rubbing at his eyes again and yawning cutely, ''Tired..'' he muttered, Jonghyun was surprised Jinki was tired, despite all the soda he drunk tonight, but he shrugged and decided to treat his Jinki like royalty.
He bent down, and Jinki looked down to see what he was doing, but soon caught on and frowned a bit. ''Jonghyun.. You don't have too, we're almost there anyway!'' he tried to protest, but his back really looked like a bed to him, that's how tired he was.
''Just get on, I'll wake you up when we get there,'' Jonghyun replied, and Jinki hesitantly got on his back, and Jonghyun quickly lifted him up, holding on to his legs, and Jinki rested his head against his shoulder, and put his arms around Jonghyun's neck, and when Jinki was ready, Jonghyun began to walk on the sidewalk.
''What if I get too heavy for you to carry?'' Jinki asks, tightening his arms around Jonghyun's neck as the younger continued to walk on.
''I'm strong, I'll carry you if you're even.. 9000 pounds!'' Jonghyun answers, trying to show off his guns but failed because he's carrying the older boy.
''What? You're supposed to say something like 'Then I'll be fat along with you,' or something,'' Jinki responds, smiling.
''Oh, that works too..'' Jonghyun replies, thinking about it a little, and Jinki let out a small chuckle.
''Duh,'' Jinki says cheekily, and Jonghyun pouts, as he stops, waiting to cross the street.
''Hey! I thought you were tired!'' Jonghyun finally responds, ditching the subject, and it was Jinki's turn to realize.
''Oh, right, I'll sleep now..'' Jinki mumbles, resting his head on Jonghyun's shoulder again, and Jonghyun grins when he hears the older boy snoring soon after, he guessed the rings would have to wait, only for a little.
--
They were cuddling on Jonghyun's couch, they had the place to themselves since his family went out for the weekend, and Jinki felt comfortable in Jonghyun's arms, spending Christmas with his lover was a new thing to him, and he liked every bit of it. Some random foreign movie played on the T.V. but they weren't really listening, just too busy thinking about each other.
Jonghyun suddenly glanced over at the tree, then suddenly remembered, the rings!
Jonghyun pulled away from Jinki, gaining a little whine, ''Sit by the tree, I'll be right back, alright?'' Jinki only nodded, and did what he was asked, while Jonghyun ran upstairs at lightning speed, getting the gift, a pretty blue, snowmen, this was it.
''Jinki!'' he called out, and Jinki stopped playing with a red ornament, and looked up at him with a smile, and Jonghyun calmly walked over, he knew this was random, but he loves this man.
''Here,'' Jonghyun handed the gift to Jinki, who was surprised but took it gently from his hands.
''Another gift?'' Jinki asks, before excitedly tearing away the wrapping paper, and gasped when he saw the box, and looked up at Jonghyun with watery eyes, ''Jonghyun? So soon..'' Jinki wiped at his eyes, this wasn't how he expected to get proposed to.. But it had the same feeling!
''It's not like that!'' Jonghyun denied, and Jinki looked at him confused, ''At least not yet.. Just open it!'' Jinki opened the box and gasped again, the rings were beautiful, it was a silver band with a beautiful shining yellow jewel on top of it, with some letters on the side of the ring, it read 'J + J', he felt the feelings coming again, couple rings.
''It's not an engagement ring if you wondering, just a symbol of our love, to show that you're mine,'' Jonghyun explained, ''Plus we're too young to get married, where did you get that from?''
Jinki pouted, and wiped at his eyes again so tears won't come down, ''I.. I don't know, I just been watching dramas lately, okay?'' he defends, and Jonghyun just chuckles before reaching out to one of the rings, and Jinki held out his hand, which Jonghyun took with gentle hands, and slid the ring on his finger, perfect fit, and Jonghyun pressed a kiss to the ring, for good luck.
After Jinki slid the other ring on Jonghyun's finger, they stared at eachother happily, and when they kissed, Jinki couldn't help but pull back quickly and just grin, months ago this was just a thought, the fact that it's a reality is still hard to believe for him, the one he loves, loves him back and now that they have these, he could safely say that whatever would happen, things will be okay in the end.

this was pretty dumb hah
Jinki laid awake on his bed, it was a warm spring night, and he kept tossing and turning, he wondered if Jonghyun was awake, probably not..
He was trying to force himself to sleep, but suddenly his phone vibrated and the screen lit up, a message! He sat up quickly and reached over to the nightstand, and picked up the white device with shaky hands, blinking at the bright screen sleepily.
''Jonghyun..'' he mused, and read the message with a grin.
angel! ur awake right? ^^;
Jinki fumbled with the touch screen, and quickly replied,
how'd you know?
He didn't have to wait long, he got a reply quickly, and he rushed to read it.
magik
Jinki let out a giggle, and rolled his eyes, correcting Jonghyun.
it's magic idiot! plus u should be sleeping!!
what about you?
i cant
thinking about me i bet
that would give me nightmares

Jinki couldn't help but grin, he didn't mean it, he was indeed thinking about Jonghyun, about how he would like to have him by his side right now, but he probably would never admit that.
angel
?
i love you ^^
Jinki blushed a bit before fidgeting nervously, and typed in a reply with shaking fingers, yawning a bit while doing so.
i love you too, sleep well jjong
u 2
Jinki returned his phone back to the nightstand, and couldn't help but have a warm feeling in his heart this time, he slept like a baby.

Jonghyun and Jinki graduated, leaving Minho, Kibum, and Taemin still in highschool, they were two years in their relationship by now, and they already had thoughts about what they were going to do, Jonghyun worked so hard to get in the college Jinki was going to, and they were going to have an apartment together and everything would be all perfect.
''I'm going to miss you hyung!" Taemin whimpered after Jinki and Jonghyun's graduation party, and Jinki adjusted the flowers he was holding in his hands to hug Taemin.
''You're acting like I'm moving to America or something! I'll still be here, and when you get to college, we can see each other a lot, okay? P-Plus you have to visit the apartment a lot, and eat well Taemin okay..'' Jinki's words were cut off, and he felt tears filling his eyes, he was now 18 and now going off to college, leaving most of his friends at highschool, it was alright though, the age gap wasn't that big anyway.
''Don't let that dino force you in to anything, and make sure you're not eating chicken and sweets all the time,'' Kibum said, approaching Jinki and Taemin, smiling genuinely.
''He wouldn't do anything like that! And.. no promises,'' he grinned, and the younger two laughed.
''Hyung, I'll miss you..'' Minho said, butting in their conversation, and Jinki smiled at the younger and patted his head.
''Thanks Minnie, I'll miss you too, actually, I'll miss all of you guys very much, study well, alright?'' They nodded and Minho tried to keep a straight face, just disregarding the nickname, while Taemin and Kibum were letting tears escape, and Jinki did what he knows bet, he smiled widely and pulled them in a group hug, these were his bestest friends and it hurt to leave them, but it wasn't the end, they would always be in a special place in his heart, and he'll see them again soon.

i'm sorry not really
''There.. last box,'' Jinki sets the said box on the floor along with the other brown cardboard boxes, and stretches out his limbs, he should work out or something, he's not very strong..
''Something wrong?'' Jonghyun asked, peeking from the bedroom where he was setting up their bed, and Jinki only just smiled at his boyfriend.
''It's nothing really, my shoulders hurt..'' he replies, rubbing at his shoulders, with a little whimper.
''I can fix that,'' Jonghyun grinned as he ushered Jinki to the couch, little did he know what he was getting himself in to, and sat him on his lap, letting him rest against his chest, then he rubbed at Jinki's shoulders gently.
''O-Oh.. There..'' Jinki moaned in delight, it was like Jonghyun had magical hands or something! At first Jonghyun was OK with giving Jinki a massage, but now he regretted it because of all the noises he was making, was this intentional?
Jonghyun gulped as he continued to rub Jinki's back, gaining whimpers and moans from the older man,
''Lower..'' Jinki mumbled, a little bit too innocent, despite the fact he was making beautiful moans that made Jonghyun sweat and fidget, but he complied anyway. Jinki groaned as Jonghyun's hands moved across his back and shoulders, with gentle touches yet it was rough in the right places.
''I think you're alright now..'' Jonghyun finally said, quickly removing his hands and trying to push Jinki off to move off the couch, but the older man didn't move, Jonghyun's thoughts were filled with nothing innocent, and he had to get away from Jinki before things could get bad.
''What? But.. You barely did anything! And my shoulders still hurt!'' he whined, pouting, well, his shoulders felt way better but he missed the touch, it felt so good! Jonghyun only gulped and stepped back he probably took the words out of context yet, he couldn't help but.. He began to be moving from the couch and backed up slowly.
''I.. Ask the old lady next door to do it!'' Jonghyun exclaimed quickly, before sprinting full-speed out of the living room to clear his perverted thoughts.
Jinki pouted, obvlious to what's up with Jonghyun, and then promptly got all the bedroom boxes to go unpack while Jonghyun was in the bathroom 'clearing his thoughts', so Jinki decided he should get some kind of work done.
--
''Studying is hard..'' Jonghyun mumbles, defeated and leaned back in his office chair, Jinki was playing candypang and looked over at Jonghyun who was getting frusterated over his work.
''You should take a break then, I can smell your brain burning,'' Jinki suggested, and Jonghyun smiled, joining him on the bed to look over his shoulder.
''Purple! Over there!''
''Blue!''
''Green!''
''HEY! You're going to make me mess up! I know what I'm doing!'' Jinki finally cracked, when it comes to candypang, he likes to be independent!
Jonghyun whimpered, feigning sadness, and crawled off their bed, looking like a kicked puppy, and Jinki immediately felt bad, and put his phone down, and quickly got off the bed to join Jonghyun on the floor,
''I-I'm sorry..'' he mumbled, ''I didn't know why I was mad,'' he frowned, not meeting Jonghyun's eyes.
''It's ok, but, there is something you must do for me to forgive you,'' Jonghyun responded, smirking a bit, he wasn't really mad, he just liked to tease Jinki a lot.
''What do you want me to do?'' Jinki asked, biting his lip a little, curious on how Jonghyun will make him repay for his doings.
''Kiss me,'' he cooed, and Jinki's eyes widened, but Jonghyun was smiling, his eyes softened and Jinki just blushed, shrugging, it wasn't like they haven't kissed before..
After pressing their lips together, they stayed that way for a while, until Jinki pulled back out of breath red and slightly panting, and Jonghyun said the dumbest thing ever.
''Once more~" he mocked foolishly, and Jinki remembered that moment, getting up and turning a red, he remembered! He felt totally embarrassed, and ran out of the room, furious with Jonghyu., Jinki was totally red, while Jonghyun was still on the floor cackling, then finally picking himself up to go find the older boy.
--
''What are you doing?'' Jonghyun came home from his classes to see Jinki in the kitchen with ingredients all over the place, flour on his face and wearing an apron, and with a determined look on his face.
''Cooking,'' Jinki responds, looking at the cook book again, and trying to copy what was written in the small text.
''Wow! I totally didn't know that!'' Jonghyun replies sarcastically, putting down his bag to go closer, ''I was wondering why are you cooking, you usually don't..''
''Yeah I don't! But, I realized I been eating too much sweet stuff y'know?'' Jinki answers, putting the book down to turn to Jonghyun, ''Plus I think I'm getting a little pudgy, what do you think?'' he cups his stomach, and tried to make it protude a bit.
''What do I think?'' Jonghyun asked, and Jinki nodded, curious about his answer, ''I think that you're perfect,'' he kissed his cheek and winked at the other, making Jinki feel as if he got shot repeatedly in the heart, ''You're not fat! And if you were, that doesn't mean I would love you any less, Jinki.'' He didn't wait for an answer, and pulled Jinki in to a bone-crushing embrace.
Jinki blushed, and felt a smile reaching his lips and buried his head in Jonghyun's shoulder bashfully, before whispering timidly, ''Thank you..I feel the same way,'' and the younger responded with another kiss to his forehead, making Jinki's knees go weak as he wrapped his arms back around Jonghyun, and a comfortable silence fell over them, until Jinki finally remembered he was cooking, so he pulled away quickly, turning the heat down.
''I almost burned this!'' he looked over the pot that had a weird smell, Jonghyun couldn't really tell what it was, because it was bubbling, but he didn't want to know so he stepped back and Jinki turned to grin at him, his eyes smiling along too, ''You're going to try it, right Jjongie?''
Crap. His weakness! Jinki used the attack of a pet name and grin, the ultimate combo! Jonghyun could only sigh and nod, gaining a cheer from the older who stepped away from the pot to work on making shapes with dough, Jonghyun smiled when Jinki brought a hand to brush his hair out of his face, more powder got on his face, he wanted to help him clean it off, but he looked so cute all determined-like, plus, that could be done later.
--
''Hurry!'' Jinki called out, spinning around to turn to Jonghyun, who was lagging a bit behind. ''We're going to miss the fireworks!''
''I'm coming!'' Jonghyun sped up with the older man, who turned back around to continue to jog happily, they were going to a park to see the fireworks display, it was mid-summer, and it was the only time they could really see it, Jinki was really excited about it, and he wouldn't shut up about it the whole day, it wasn't like Jonghyun minded though, he liked to see Jinki happy, it gave him.. Energy.
''Slow down, or you'll get hurt again!'' Jonghyun cries out seriously, Jinki was getting really clumsy these days, maybe it was the heat, but there was no snow to break his fall, and he didn't want to see him hurt.
''You're just mad that I'm faster than you!'' Jinki grinned, crossing his arms over his chest trying to look cool, and Jonghyun only rolled his eyes.
''Wanna bet?'' Jonghyun started, he thought Minho was rubbing off on him.
''Let's go!'' Jinki shouted out happily, and ran, Jonghyun quickly following after him, Jinki's laughs were reaching his ears, a smooth tune that made his heart swell, it was all fun and games until of course Jinki fell, yelping in pain and surprise.
''Gosh, I told you..'' Jonghyun proves, and Jinki just pouts, Jonghyun helped him sit up and examined his bleeding knee, he flinched and Jinki hissed a bit when Jonghyun began to treat it, he always had things since he was used to living with Jinki.
''It still hurts..'' Jinki whined, and his eye's widened when Jonghyun pressed a kiss to the bruised knee, then he smiled happily, it was like magic, the pain was now in the back of his mind.
''Feel better?''
Jinki nodded, sort of blushing as Jonghyun offered out a hand to help him up,
''Come on, we don't want to miss the fireworks!''
--
Five years in their relationship, it was Christmas, and Jinki was kind of disappointed that Jonghyun said that he didn't buy him a present, but he said it was alright, Christmas was about spending time with the ones you love, not what type of present you get. But it was all a trick, he just hoped he would be satisfied with the present he came up with this year, his heart was racing and he was nervous, he felt a little dizzy and Jinki was asking if he was alright, he was fine, really, but he couldn't help but think that Jinki would reject him.
''Where are we going?'' Jinki finally questioned, pulling his eyes away from the falling snow, and Jonghyun's hands tightened on his, his thumb rubbing Jinki's gloved hand, and he smiled a bit, he shouldn't be worried. He can't be.
''You'll see,'' Jonghyun responded, and Jinki only nodded as they walked to whatever Jonghyun had in mind, Jinki was so curious, Jonghyun usually told him everything about their dates, but for some reason he was being so secretive, he briefly thought about what it could be, he just hoped that it wasn't anything bad.
--
Somehow, they ended up at the closest beach, the one they went to that one summer was too far away, but it was the best thing he could come up with, he can just replay the moment, currently they were walking by the shore, the beach had some people wandering around, but other than that, it was pretty empty, he thought it was perfect to do it here.
''Jinki, stop for a bit,'' Jonghyun finally said after walking for a bit, and Jinki stopped moving, and turned to Jonghyun smiling.
''What is it?'' he questioned, and Jonghyun put his hands behind his back, obviously grasping something.
''When I confessed to you, I said that I would like to be even more than your boyfriend one day,'' Jonghyun began, and Jinki nodded, blushing while he remembered the words, he remembered each and everything that came out of his mouth, but he was curious on what Jonghyun was going to say.
''Yeah.. What about it?''
''Well,'' Jonghyun took a deep breath, and kneeled, not caring that his pants were going to be covered in wet sand, he brought his arms to the front, revealing the small black box and Jinki's hands flew to his mouth, gasping and eyes widening, it can't be!
Jinki's heart raced, as he watched Jonghyun open the box, it was indeed a ring, sparkling and shining in all it's glory, it was similar to their couple rings except the jewel was a small diamond, matching the silver band.
''Then, if you would, if you would let me, I want to be more than your boyfriend, I love you Jinki, so much, you're the most important person in my life, and if you accept, then I want to be your husband, so we can continue to do everything together, and grow old together, and be together, and..'' He met Jinki's eyes, which were watering emotionally, ''I promise nothing will get between us.. So, will you Lee Jinki, marry me?''
Jinki was speechless, he wasn't prepared for this, he had the feeling again, butterflies fluttering around happily in his stomach, and his heart trying to escape his chest, he swore he could hear angels singing from up above, and he let the tears run down his cheek, he knew what he wanted, he wanted Jonghyun, this was it!
''Yes, yes!'' he exclaimed, frantically nodding his head, and let out a sob, he didn't know that he deserved all of this, he shakily let out his hand, Jonghyun steadied it, taking off the glove and pressed kisses to his hand before sliding the engagement ring on his finger, and as soon as he stood up, Jinki wrapped his arms around his neck and crushed him and Jonghyun just chuckled, he was so happy, he didn't even know why he was so nervous earlier, Jinki wanted this, they were going to get married, and grow old together, just how they wanted it, he wrapped his arms around Jinki too, and spinned him around a bit, and they held hands, Jonghyun kissing away Jinki's tears, trying to look strong even though he probably was crying too, they smiled and pulled back, not being able to kiss because they couldn't keep the grins off their faces.
''We're getting married!'' Jinki shouted at the ocean, he wasn't sure if anyone else other than Jonghyun could hear it, but he wanted to tell everyone, and he thought that the sea creatures should know first.
There was some clapping in the background, the people who were on the beach, and they blushed, bowing towards them, and some kind elderly lady offered them tissues, which they took, and wiped the tears off each other, and after their moment they made it back to the town, not believing that all of this, only started with an English project.
''Are you alright?'' Jonghyun asked, his voice slightly muffled by the blue scarf Jinki personally wrapped around him before, and Jinki nodded, reassuringly.
And they started to walk slowly, their feet sinking in the snow and not regretting the decision to wear boots that day either, the wind was blowing hard and Jinki had to stop and go back to get the red, knitted hat that flew off his head several times, which Jonghyun securely put back on every time.
''Should I like glue this to your head or something?'' Jonghyun jokes, adjusting the hat on Jinki's head for the third time, and Jinki laughed a bit, he was usually oblivious to jokes Jonghyun told, but he couldn't help but laugh at the image of a hat glued to his head.
''Why didn't you wear a hat too?'' Jinki reaches up to finger Jonghyun's dark short locks, that had some flakes of snow scattered over the top, and he giggled a bit at the sight, a wide smile reaching his lips.
''I would, but somebody is wearing my hat,'' Jonghyun answers, smirking a bit and Jinki was confused, not getting the joke and adjusted the box of cupcakes on his right arm, and titled his head a bit, innocently.
''Really? I wonder who.. Oh well, I can always buy you one if they don't give it back,'' Jinki replies already forgetting that Jonghyun lent him his own hat because he said something about Jinki's head being all important and superior to his own, and drifts away from the conversation when a snowflake falls on his nose, he smiles when Jonghyun leans over and presses his lips to his nose, taking the snowflake along with him, also ditching the subject, and Jinki laughs a bit at Jonghyun's silliness, until they realized that they been standing around doing nothing for a while, and it was going to get late if they didn't leave now.
''Come on Angel,'' Jonghyun said, already ahead of Jinki. Jinki smiled at the nickname, and lifted up his legs to go join his boyfriend, but he has reached a problem. His legs were stuck in the snow, and he whimpered a bit, trying to lift up his legs, he now regrets standing in one position in the snow for too long, the snow was a little higher than his ankles, and it seemed to be hard too.
''Jonghyun, I can't get my legs out!'' Jinki cries out, and Jonghyun only chuckles a bit, ''What? I'm not kidding! Get me out before I get buried in snow and die here!''
Jonghyun set the gifts down on the snow, and reached down to push most of the snow away, and grab Jinki under his armpits as if he was lifting a child, and pulled him out with all his strength, it took at least three times until Jinki finally got out, and they fell back on the snow, laughing a bit, and wondering how that even happend, but they didn't question it because everyday was a surprise.
''Cold...'' Jinki mumbles, when they finally left Jinki's yard that wasn't even really that big, yet it seemed like a maze to get out of there. Now carefully walking on the sidewalk, not many people were outside, well more like none. The roads were all iced up that kept getting covered with snow, and the sidewalk had snow all over it, matching the yards, yet it was pretty because of the Christmas lights and decorations around, and snow always topped everything, despite the fact that it's really cold, they enjoyed it anyway.
''I know what can warm you up,'' Jinki turned to look at Jonghyun jumping at the chance to get warm, and was only surprised in to a chaste kiss, he blushed, already feeling himself warm up.
''Once more.. I'm still cold,'' Jinki whispered shyly when they pulled back, and Jonghyun only complied, pressing his lips to Jinki's again.
''Again..''
''One more..''
They were about to lean in again on Jinki's request, but Jinki's cellphone rang, emitting high-paced, catchy music, and they pulled away from eachother quickly, realizing what was going on, Jinki searched through his pocket with and answered with shaky hands, trying to calm down his blush, what was he thinking? He just couldn't stop, it felt as if he wasn't even controlling his brain at the time, he felt really embarrassed, Jonghyun was probably confused or something, he felt himself getting more red as he thought about it more.
Jonghyun on the other hand was surprised Jinki would be so forward about kissing, he would usually have to ask for one, and just hope Jinki would kiss him, but he could tell things were going to change from now on, he smiled and rubbed the back of his neck while Jinki was talking with someone over the phone.
''Yeah.. What? Do you really need that?''
Jinki sighed, ''Okay, fine.. We'll run over before we come, ok.'' he muttered a goodbye before groaning and sliding his phone back in his jacket pocket, and turned to Jonghyun, still blushing and averting his eyes.
''Who called?'' Jonghyun questioned curiously, trying to save Jinki the embarrassment that he was currently struggling with, he didn't mind the kissing at all really, he enjoyed kissing Jinki a lot.
''Oh, it was just Kibum.. He answered, thinking that he didn't look as red anymore, and snuggled his face in his scarf, ''He said that we should run by the store really quick, they ran out of soda! We have to get it for them, quickly!'''
Jonghyun nodded, Jinki of course was too nice and wouldn't say no to Kibum, so he agreed, he was meaning to go to the store anyway.
They were quiet for most of the walk, but then Jinki suddenly tripped over a huge patch of snow with a shriek, and grabbed on to anything, and the closest thing was Jonghyun who was pulled down along with him, the gifts and the box full of cupcakes following suit.
''The cupcakes!'' Jinki recovers first, and got up on his knees, he was already used to falling down all the time, and crawled over to the discarded box, and took a peek inside, perfect, but a little frosting out a place, he can touch that up later, he sighs thankfully, and Jonghyun picked up the gifts again, and helped his boyfriend up, and helped him wipe the snow off his pants and jacket, who thanked him timidly afterwards.
''You know, to prevent this,'' Jonghyun began, tucking his scarf down to his chin so he could talk clearly, ''We should hold hands, we can't fall again that way right? Unless you pull me down again,'' He finished, suggesting and Jinki blushed, but blamed it on the cold and nodded, of course, they wouldn't want to fall again!
''Ok,'' Jinki replied and grinned to reach out for Jonghyun's gloved hand, and they intertwined their fingers and walked a bit closer together, it was nice and warm, Jinki felt as if he was drinking hot chocolate next to a fire, which he would like to do yet they had to get to the store, then Kibum's party, and he groaned, realizing the fact that he lived sort of far from him.
''You should get a car,'' Jinki whined childishly when they finally stopped, waiting to cross the road, ''We could like, die from this snow!''
''Driving has too many rules, and I'm way too lazy to learn them, at least now.'' Jonghyun fought back, ''Plus if we walk together, that means I get to spend more time with you,'' he finished cheesily, turning his head to wink at the older, who got all flustered and blushed, Jonghyun DID have a point.
''Oh wait.. but that means if I'm going to see you, then it'll take longer to get to you,'' Jonghyun continued, frowning a bit when they finally move to cross the road, his hands tightening over Jinki's protectively as they walked quickly with careful steps.
''That won't be a problem, if I just meet you halfway!'' Jinki exclaims, grinning and speeding up a bit to race Jonghyun to the sidewalk,
''You're going to get hurt!'' Jonghyun cries out, trying to run on the ice to catch up with Jinki.
''What? No I'm not!'' he spins around briefly to stick his tongue out at Jonghyun, then turns back around and continues to run on the sidewalk, but completely regrets it when he slips on a patch of ice and lands on his bottom roughly, and Jonghyun catches up to him, laughing loudly and Jinki just sat there pouting, until Jonghyun finally offered out his hand, to help Jinki up.
''Here, your butt has snow all over it..'' Jonghyun says while gesturing for Jinki to turn around, which the older did hesitantly, and Jonghyun used his hand to swipe all the snow off of his jacket and butt, gaining a squirming and blushing Jinki.
''I-I think that's enough, stop touching my butt!'' He spins around before Jonghyun could see his blush, or touch it again, ''Pervert,'' he mumbles and walks on, leaving Jonghyun to pick up the box of the many cupcakes Jinki has discarded carelessly on the sidewalk, and only shrugged, it wasn't like he regretted anything.
--
When they finally entered the store, with much difficulty, Jinki scampered over to the side of the store that carried the drinks, so that left Jonghyun who was calmly browsing over things, but one thing caught his eyes. Couple rings... He heard that was a trend these days, it would be a first for him, for his past lovers he never really got this far because most of them were just using him for his popularity, and he wanted to try it out for Jinki, it's a symbol, for now at least that they're a couple and nothing could break that.
''Which one would fit us the best..'' he mused, looking over the selections, nothing quite caught his eyes, and he was about to just forget it, but a worker interrupted his thoughts.
''Have you found what you were looking for sir?'' The girl asked happily, brushing her long bangs out of her face, not really expecting him to ask for anything.
''Actually, I'm trying to look for a.. A ring for my boyfriend, he's really special to me and I don't know what would fit him, I want something really unique,'' he answered truthfully.
''What is he like?'' she asked, gazing at the rings that were sparkling in their cases.
''Well, he's like an angel...'' Jonghyun began, smiling as he talked about the older.
--
''I would like this wrapped too please, and hurry!'' Jonghyun exclaimed, looking around, Jinki said he was going to use the bathroom, clueless to what Jonghyun has bought, so Jonghyun was paying for the items, and hoped Jinki wouldn't come from the bathroom too soon to see what he's getting.
''Here you go,'' The cashier handed over the bag that had the soda in it, and another with the box of rings wrapped in pretty a pretty blue color, with snowmen scattered across the top.
''Thank you,'' Jonghyun said, and Jinki came out of the bathroom just in time, smiling and they walked out hand in hand, and the cashier and worker there looked at them with envy, couples..
--
sorry, i skipped the party, but it wouldn't have been much anyway!
After a long night full of dancing, and consuming a lot of food and soda, Jinki and Jonghyun finally stepped out of Kibum's house, that was slowly emptying, satisfied teens leaving the party one by one.
Jinki yawns, cheeks a little pink due to the cold, and his eyes half-lidded as he walked slowly, his hands in Jonghyun's. The snow finally stopped, and street lights lit up the street as they made their way to Jonghyun's house (Jonghyun suggested that it would be too long to get to Jinki's house and that he should just sleep at his own), stepping carefully to avoid snow or ice. Jonghyun already gave Jinki's first gift at the party, but he wanted to make the couple rings thing special, so he would wait until they got home, but the anticipation was eating him.
''You alright?'' Jonghyun asked as Jinki slowed a bit, walking sleepily, and he rubbed at his eyes.
Jinki hummed in response, rubbing at his eyes again and yawning cutely, ''Tired..'' he muttered, Jonghyun was surprised Jinki was tired, despite all the soda he drunk tonight, but he shrugged and decided to treat his Jinki like royalty.
He bent down, and Jinki looked down to see what he was doing, but soon caught on and frowned a bit. ''Jonghyun.. You don't have too, we're almost there anyway!'' he tried to protest, but his back really looked like a bed to him, that's how tired he was.
''Just get on, I'll wake you up when we get there,'' Jonghyun replied, and Jinki hesitantly got on his back, and Jonghyun quickly lifted him up, holding on to his legs, and Jinki rested his head against his shoulder, and put his arms around Jonghyun's neck, and when Jinki was ready, Jonghyun began to walk on the sidewalk.
''What if I get too heavy for you to carry?'' Jinki asks, tightening his arms around Jonghyun's neck as the younger continued to walk on.
''I'm strong, I'll carry you if you're even.. 9000 pounds!'' Jonghyun answers, trying to show off his guns but failed because he's carrying the older boy.
''What? You're supposed to say something like 'Then I'll be fat along with you,' or something,'' Jinki responds, smiling.
''Oh, that works too..'' Jonghyun replies, thinking about it a little, and Jinki let out a small chuckle.
''Duh,'' Jinki says cheekily, and Jonghyun pouts, as he stops, waiting to cross the street.
''Hey! I thought you were tired!'' Jonghyun finally responds, ditching the subject, and it was Jinki's turn to realize.
''Oh, right, I'll sleep now..'' Jinki mumbles, resting his head on Jonghyun's shoulder again, and Jonghyun grins when he hears the older boy snoring soon after, he guessed the rings would have to wait, only for a little.
--
They were cuddling on Jonghyun's couch, they had the place to themselves since his family went out for the weekend, and Jinki felt comfortable in Jonghyun's arms, spending Christmas with his lover was a new thing to him, and he liked every bit of it. Some random foreign movie played on the T.V. but they weren't really listening, just too busy thinking about each other.
Jonghyun suddenly glanced over at the tree, then suddenly remembered, the rings!
Jonghyun pulled away from Jinki, gaining a little whine, ''Sit by the tree, I'll be right back, alright?'' Jinki only nodded, and did what he was asked, while Jonghyun ran upstairs at lightning speed, getting the gift, a pretty blue, snowmen, this was it.
''Jinki!'' he called out, and Jinki stopped playing with a red ornament, and looked up at him with a smile, and Jonghyun calmly walked over, he knew this was random, but he loves this man.
''Here,'' Jonghyun handed the gift to Jinki, who was surprised but took it gently from his hands.
''Another gift?'' Jinki asks, before excitedly tearing away the wrapping paper, and gasped when he saw the box, and looked up at Jonghyun with watery eyes, ''Jonghyun? So soon..'' Jinki wiped at his eyes, this wasn't how he expected to get proposed to.. But it had the same feeling!
''It's not like that!'' Jonghyun denied, and Jinki looked at him confused, ''At least not yet.. Just open it!'' Jinki opened the box and gasped again, the rings were beautiful, it was a silver band with a beautiful shining yellow jewel on top of it, with some letters on the side of the ring, it read 'J + J', he felt the feelings coming again, couple rings.
''It's not an engagement ring if you wondering, just a symbol of our love, to show that you're mine,'' Jonghyun explained, ''Plus we're too young to get married, where did you get that from?''
Jinki pouted, and wiped at his eyes again so tears won't come down, ''I.. I don't know, I just been watching dramas lately, okay?'' he defends, and Jonghyun just chuckles before reaching out to one of the rings, and Jinki held out his hand, which Jonghyun took with gentle hands, and slid the ring on his finger, perfect fit, and Jonghyun pressed a kiss to the ring, for good luck.
After Jinki slid the other ring on Jonghyun's finger, they stared at eachother happily, and when they kissed, Jinki couldn't help but pull back quickly and just grin, months ago this was just a thought, the fact that it's a reality is still hard to believe for him, the one he loves, loves him back and now that they have these, he could safely say that whatever would happen, things will be okay in the end.
--
this was pretty dumb hah
Jinki laid awake on his bed, it was a warm spring night, and he kept tossing and turning, he wondered if Jonghyun was awake, probably not..
He was trying to force himself to sleep, but suddenly his phone vibrated and the screen lit up, a message! He sat up quickly and reached over to the nightstand, and picked up the white device with shaky hands, blinking at the bright screen sleepily.
''Jonghyun..'' he mused, and read the message with a grin.
angel! ur awake right? ^^;
Jinki fumbled with the touch screen, and quickly replied,
how'd you know?
He didn't have to wait long, he got a reply quickly, and he rushed to read it.
magik
Jinki let out a giggle, and rolled his eyes, correcting Jonghyun.
it's magic idiot! plus u should be sleeping!!
what about you?
i cant
thinking about me i bet
that would give me nightmares
wat
Jinki couldn't help but grin, he didn't mean it, he was indeed thinking about Jonghyun, about how he would like to have him by his side right now, but he probably would never admit that.
angel
?
i love you ^^
Jinki blushed a bit before fidgeting nervously, and typed in a reply with shaking fingers, yawning a bit while doing so.
i love you too, sleep well jjong
u 2
Jinki returned his phone back to the nightstand, and couldn't help but have a warm feeling in his heart this time, he slept like a baby.
--
Jonghyun and Jinki graduated, leaving Minho, Kibum, and Taemin still in highschool, they were two years in their relationship by now, and they already had thoughts about what they were going to do, Jonghyun worked so hard to get in the college Jinki was going to, and they were going to have an apartment together and everything would be all perfect.
''I'm going to miss you hyung!" Taemin whimpered after Jinki and Jonghyun's graduation party, and Jinki adjusted the flowers he was holding in his hands to hug Taemin.
''You're acting like I'm moving to America or something! I'll still be here, and when you get to college, we can see each other a lot, okay? P-Plus you have to visit the apartment a lot, and eat well Taemin okay..'' Jinki's words were cut off, and he felt tears filling his eyes, he was now 18 and now going off to college, leaving most of his friends at highschool, it was alright though, the age gap wasn't that big anyway.
''Don't let that dino force you in to anything, and make sure you're not eating chicken and sweets all the time,'' Kibum said, approaching Jinki and Taemin, smiling genuinely.
''He wouldn't do anything like that! And.. no promises,'' he grinned, and the younger two laughed.
''Hyung, I'll miss you..'' Minho said, butting in their conversation, and Jinki smiled at the younger and patted his head.
''Thanks Minnie, I'll miss you too, actually, I'll miss all of you guys very much, study well, alright?'' They nodded and Minho tried to keep a straight face, just disregarding the nickname, while Taemin and Kibum were letting tears escape, and Jinki did what he knows bet, he smiled widely and pulled them in a group hug, these were his bestest friends and it hurt to leave them, but it wasn't the end, they would always be in a special place in his heart, and he'll see them again soon.
--
i'm sorry not really
''There.. last box,'' Jinki sets the said box on the floor along with the other brown cardboard boxes, and stretches out his limbs, he should work out or something, he's not very strong..
''Something wrong?'' Jonghyun asked, peeking from the bedroom where he was setting up their bed, and Jinki only just smiled at his boyfriend.
''It's nothing really, my shoulders hurt..'' he replies, rubbing at his shoulders, with a little whimper.
''I can fix that,'' Jonghyun grinned as he ushered Jinki to the couch, little did he know what he was getting himself in to, and sat him on his lap, letting him rest against his chest, then he rubbed at Jinki's shoulders gently.
''O-Oh.. There..'' Jinki moaned in delight, it was like Jonghyun had magical hands or something! At first Jonghyun was OK with giving Jinki a massage, but now he regretted it because of all the noises he was making, was this intentional?
Jonghyun gulped as he continued to rub Jinki's back, gaining whimpers and moans from the older man,
''Lower..'' Jinki mumbled, a little bit too innocent, despite the fact he was making beautiful moans that made Jonghyun sweat and fidget, but he complied anyway. Jinki groaned as Jonghyun's hands moved across his back and shoulders, with gentle touches yet it was rough in the right places.
''I think you're alright now..'' Jonghyun finally said, quickly removing his hands and trying to push Jinki off to move off the couch, but the older man didn't move, Jonghyun's thoughts were filled with nothing innocent, and he had to get away from Jinki before things could get bad.
''What? But.. You barely did anything! And my shoulders still hurt!'' he whined, pouting, well, his shoulders felt way better but he missed the touch, it felt so good! Jonghyun only gulped and stepped back he probably took the words out of context yet, he couldn't help but.. He began to be moving from the couch and backed up slowly.
''I.. Ask the old lady next door to do it!'' Jonghyun exclaimed quickly, before sprinting full-speed out of the living room to clear his perverted thoughts.
Jinki pouted, obvlious to what's up with Jonghyun, and then promptly got all the bedroom boxes to go unpack while Jonghyun was in the bathroom 'clearing his thoughts', so Jinki decided he should get some kind of work done.
--
''Studying is hard..'' Jonghyun mumbles, defeated and leaned back in his office chair, Jinki was playing candypang and looked over at Jonghyun who was getting frusterated over his work.
''You should take a break then, I can smell your brain burning,'' Jinki suggested, and Jonghyun smiled, joining him on the bed to look over his shoulder.
''Purple! Over there!''
''Blue!''
''Green!''
''HEY! You're going to make me mess up! I know what I'm doing!'' Jinki finally cracked, when it comes to candypang, he likes to be independent!
Jonghyun whimpered, feigning sadness, and crawled off their bed, looking like a kicked puppy, and Jinki immediately felt bad, and put his phone down, and quickly got off the bed to join Jonghyun on the floor,
''I-I'm sorry..'' he mumbled, ''I didn't know why I was mad,'' he frowned, not meeting Jonghyun's eyes.
''It's ok, but, there is something you must do for me to forgive you,'' Jonghyun responded, smirking a bit, he wasn't really mad, he just liked to tease Jinki a lot.
''What do you want me to do?'' Jinki asked, biting his lip a little, curious on how Jonghyun will make him repay for his doings.
''Kiss me,'' he cooed, and Jinki's eyes widened, but Jonghyun was smiling, his eyes softened and Jinki just blushed, shrugging, it wasn't like they haven't kissed before..
After pressing their lips together, they stayed that way for a while, until Jinki pulled back out of breath red and slightly panting, and Jonghyun said the dumbest thing ever.
''Once more~" he mocked foolishly, and Jinki remembered that moment, getting up and turning a red, he remembered! He felt totally embarrassed, and ran out of the room, furious with Jonghyu., Jinki was totally red, while Jonghyun was still on the floor cackling, then finally picking himself up to go find the older boy.
--
''What are you doing?'' Jonghyun came home from his classes to see Jinki in the kitchen with ingredients all over the place, flour on his face and wearing an apron, and with a determined look on his face.
''Cooking,'' Jinki responds, looking at the cook book again, and trying to copy what was written in the small text.
''Wow! I totally didn't know that!'' Jonghyun replies sarcastically, putting down his bag to go closer, ''I was wondering why are you cooking, you usually don't..''
''Yeah I don't! But, I realized I been eating too much sweet stuff y'know?'' Jinki answers, putting the book down to turn to Jonghyun, ''Plus I think I'm getting a little pudgy, what do you think?'' he cups his stomach, and tried to make it protude a bit.
''What do I think?'' Jonghyun asked, and Jinki nodded, curious about his answer, ''I think that you're perfect,'' he kissed his cheek and winked at the other, making Jinki feel as if he got shot repeatedly in the heart, ''You're not fat! And if you were, that doesn't mean I would love you any less, Jinki.'' He didn't wait for an answer, and pulled Jinki in to a bone-crushing embrace.
Jinki blushed, and felt a smile reaching his lips and buried his head in Jonghyun's shoulder bashfully, before whispering timidly, ''Thank you..I feel the same way,'' and the younger responded with another kiss to his forehead, making Jinki's knees go weak as he wrapped his arms back around Jonghyun, and a comfortable silence fell over them, until Jinki finally remembered he was cooking, so he pulled away quickly, turning the heat down.
''I almost burned this!'' he looked over the pot that had a weird smell, Jonghyun couldn't really tell what it was, because it was bubbling, but he didn't want to know so he stepped back and Jinki turned to grin at him, his eyes smiling along too, ''You're going to try it, right Jjongie?''
Crap. His weakness! Jinki used the attack of a pet name and grin, the ultimate combo! Jonghyun could only sigh and nod, gaining a cheer from the older who stepped away from the pot to work on making shapes with dough, Jonghyun smiled when Jinki brought a hand to brush his hair out of his face, more powder got on his face, he wanted to help him clean it off, but he looked so cute all determined-like, plus, that could be done later.
--
''Hurry!'' Jinki called out, spinning around to turn to Jonghyun, who was lagging a bit behind. ''We're going to miss the fireworks!''
''I'm coming!'' Jonghyun sped up with the older man, who turned back around to continue to jog happily, they were going to a park to see the fireworks display, it was mid-summer, and it was the only time they could really see it, Jinki was really excited about it, and he wouldn't shut up about it the whole day, it wasn't like Jonghyun minded though, he liked to see Jinki happy, it gave him.. Energy.
''Slow down, or you'll get hurt again!'' Jonghyun cries out seriously, Jinki was getting really clumsy these days, maybe it was the heat, but there was no snow to break his fall, and he didn't want to see him hurt.
''You're just mad that I'm faster than you!'' Jinki grinned, crossing his arms over his chest trying to look cool, and Jonghyun only rolled his eyes.
''Wanna bet?'' Jonghyun started, he thought Minho was rubbing off on him.
''Let's go!'' Jinki shouted out happily, and ran, Jonghyun quickly following after him, Jinki's laughs were reaching his ears, a smooth tune that made his heart swell, it was all fun and games until of course Jinki fell, yelping in pain and surprise.
''Gosh, I told you..'' Jonghyun proves, and Jinki just pouts, Jonghyun helped him sit up and examined his bleeding knee, he flinched and Jinki hissed a bit when Jonghyun began to treat it, he always had things since he was used to living with Jinki.
''It still hurts..'' Jinki whined, and his eye's widened when Jonghyun pressed a kiss to the bruised knee, then he smiled happily, it was like magic, the pain was now in the back of his mind.
''Feel better?''
Jinki nodded, sort of blushing as Jonghyun offered out a hand to help him up,
''Come on, we don't want to miss the fireworks!''
--
Five years in their relationship, it was Christmas, and Jinki was kind of disappointed that Jonghyun said that he didn't buy him a present, but he said it was alright, Christmas was about spending time with the ones you love, not what type of present you get. But it was all a trick, he just hoped he would be satisfied with the present he came up with this year, his heart was racing and he was nervous, he felt a little dizzy and Jinki was asking if he was alright, he was fine, really, but he couldn't help but think that Jinki would reject him.
''Where are we going?'' Jinki finally questioned, pulling his eyes away from the falling snow, and Jonghyun's hands tightened on his, his thumb rubbing Jinki's gloved hand, and he smiled a bit, he shouldn't be worried. He can't be.
''You'll see,'' Jonghyun responded, and Jinki only nodded as they walked to whatever Jonghyun had in mind, Jinki was so curious, Jonghyun usually told him everything about their dates, but for some reason he was being so secretive, he briefly thought about what it could be, he just hoped that it wasn't anything bad.
--
Somehow, they ended up at the closest beach, the one they went to that one summer was too far away, but it was the best thing he could come up with, he can just replay the moment, currently they were walking by the shore, the beach had some people wandering around, but other than that, it was pretty empty, he thought it was perfect to do it here.
''Jinki, stop for a bit,'' Jonghyun finally said after walking for a bit, and Jinki stopped moving, and turned to Jonghyun smiling.
''What is it?'' he questioned, and Jonghyun put his hands behind his back, obviously grasping something.
''When I confessed to you, I said that I would like to be even more than your boyfriend one day,'' Jonghyun began, and Jinki nodded, blushing while he remembered the words, he remembered each and everything that came out of his mouth, but he was curious on what Jonghyun was going to say.
''Yeah.. What about it?''
''Well,'' Jonghyun took a deep breath, and kneeled, not caring that his pants were going to be covered in wet sand, he brought his arms to the front, revealing the small black box and Jinki's hands flew to his mouth, gasping and eyes widening, it can't be!
Jinki's heart raced, as he watched Jonghyun open the box, it was indeed a ring, sparkling and shining in all it's glory, it was similar to their couple rings except the jewel was a small diamond, matching the silver band.
''Then, if you would, if you would let me, I want to be more than your boyfriend, I love you Jinki, so much, you're the most important person in my life, and if you accept, then I want to be your husband, so we can continue to do everything together, and grow old together, and be together, and..'' He met Jinki's eyes, which were watering emotionally, ''I promise nothing will get between us.. So, will you Lee Jinki, marry me?''
Jinki was speechless, he wasn't prepared for this, he had the feeling again, butterflies fluttering around happily in his stomach, and his heart trying to escape his chest, he swore he could hear angels singing from up above, and he let the tears run down his cheek, he knew what he wanted, he wanted Jonghyun, this was it!
''Yes, yes!'' he exclaimed, frantically nodding his head, and let out a sob, he didn't know that he deserved all of this, he shakily let out his hand, Jonghyun steadied it, taking off the glove and pressed kisses to his hand before sliding the engagement ring on his finger, and as soon as he stood up, Jinki wrapped his arms around his neck and crushed him and Jonghyun just chuckled, he was so happy, he didn't even know why he was so nervous earlier, Jinki wanted this, they were going to get married, and grow old together, just how they wanted it, he wrapped his arms around Jinki too, and spinned him around a bit, and they held hands, Jonghyun kissing away Jinki's tears, trying to look strong even though he probably was crying too, they smiled and pulled back, not being able to kiss because they couldn't keep the grins off their faces.
''We're getting married!'' Jinki shouted at the ocean, he wasn't sure if anyone else other than Jonghyun could hear it, but he wanted to tell everyone, and he thought that the sea creatures should know first.
There was some clapping in the background, the people who were on the beach, and they blushed, bowing towards them, and some kind elderly lady offered them tissues, which they took, and wiped the tears off each other, and after their moment they made it back to the town, not believing that all of this, only started with an English project.
