Summary: The cuteness of JongKey.
A/N: I wrote this in ten minutes, after having watched the... 11th?... episode of Hello Baby, the one with Jonghyuns birthday party. I just... I really wanted Key to be the one giving Jonghyun the birthday kiss, and I of course understand why they cannot, but REALLY. So I wrote this to ease my frustration. It worked out better than expected, and I slept better than I have in several weeks. They are so fucking CUTE. Anything I write surely can't be cute enough for them, but it certainly was cute enough for me. LOVE YOU JONGKEY <3
When the cameras are sleeping
The cameras are down for the night. Minho is sleeping beside Yoogeun, Taemin beside Onew. Onew is snoring lightly, and Taemin is grunting something in his sleep. The crew has gone home to sleep in their own beds. It’s dark and quiet.
“You think they’ve gone to sleep?” Key whispers. Jonghyun is silent for a while, listening after sounds of the others being awake. They’re sitting in the living room, by the table they had used for Jonghyun’s impromptu birthday party earlier. Key is leaning against Jonhyun’s shoulder.
“I think so…” he answers. Then he muffles a giggle. “I can hear Onew snoring.”
Key smiles at this, a sleepy smile which makes Jonghyun’s heart skip a beat, as Key’s bangs fall cutely into his face, covering his blue eyes.
“About that birthday kiss,” he says coyly after a beat of silence, “do you want a proper one?”
Jonghyun looks at him and places his hand on Key’s, watching it as Key clutches at his fingers and raises it to kiss the back of his palm. Jonghyun laughs quietly, kind of ridiculously in love, the hand Key is holding coming up to caress Key’s cheek. Key leans forward the last inches and let their lips meet hastily, then again as he closes his eyes and shuffles just that little bit closer. Jonghyun’s hand drops down to Key’s collarbone and sneaks around his neck.
This is what they wanted to do, but couldn’t when they were celebrating and the cameras where on, when they both had a reputation to keep up. This is what they do when their alone, when everybody else is sound asleep, and when cameras and other witnesses are long gone. This is what they should be able to do in public. But that is impossible.
And really, this isn’t so bad. They both know that. Although it has been a while since last time they were alone like this, they wouldn’t even have met if it wasn’t for SHINee. They wouldn’t have been the wonderful, but secret, pair that they are today. Jonghyun would never have known the feeling of hearing Key’s chimes of laughter, or see the silly sides of Kim Kibum that made his heart flutter. Key would never have laughed at Jonghyun’s snide remarks that he found absurdly funny, or watched the peaceful face of Kim Jonghyun when he was sleeping.
When Jonghyuns hands have dropped to Key’s hips and Key’s own hands are entangled in Jonghyuns hair, him with his back against the floor and Jonghyun hovering over him, they break the kiss. They stare silently into each other’s eyes for a floating second, and then Key presses a light kiss to Jonghyun’s cheek.
“Happy birthday, love.”
And really, this is enough.
