It's Enough
Title: It’s Enough
Pairing: TofuHo
Summary: Falling out of a relationship doesn’t mean you’ve fallen out of love
Rating: PG
Notes: It’s our beloved flaming charisma’s birthday today! So yes, as per tradition of mine, here’s a birthday fic for the darling Minho.
__
Jinki prides himself on being levelheaded, responsible and fair. It’s these tributes that help him manage a slightly dysfunctional group slash family of five. All that isn’t even affected by his apparent ‘condition’ that has him tripping over air, tumbling down the stairs, suffocating in his own blankets and even managing to get stuck in the washing machine.
The level headedness and responsibilities goes flying out the window when he meets one Choi Minho during trainee days and his heart is fluttering in his chest as Minho gives him a blazing smile that seems to light up his whole world.
It’s probably fate that brings them together as a group living together 24/7 under the same roof three hundred and sixty five days a year, seven days a week. It doesn’t take long for Minho to see that their quirky, bright, ever optimistic and oddball leader is actually quite cute and mature at times and Minho’s falling into the lovely black hole we call love.
Their happy as can be, Jinki blushing every time Minho’s nearby, always fluttering around the younger to make sure he’s eating enough and they skirt each other when their feelings for each other start to overwhelm much to Kibum’s chagrin and Jonghyun’s and Taemin’s amusement.
They finally get together after their first ever concert when adrenaline is running high and Minho has Jinki in a spur of the moment lip lock. Jinki thinks that as far as first kisses go, his is probably the best.
They’re a happy couple then after a few days of embarrassing silences between them and a lockdown in the bedroom, courtesy of Taemin [the kid hides behind a cute façade. IT’S A LIE!] and they end up having a heavy make out session with breathy confessions of pent up feelings in between.
Jinki and Minho are as happy as clams, Minho still having his impassive face and silent attitude and Jinki bouncing off the walls, leading to more accidents thanks to his condition.
And then two and a half years after debut, SHINee goes on a show that puts the lovely ‘TofuHo’s’ relationship on a rocky boat. Minho kisses Yuri during a short sketch that’s airing all over Seoul, further fanning the ‘Minho is dating SNSD’s Yuri’ rumours and as Jinki watches their lips lock, his heart seems to shatter and he thinks faintly, oh, this is what a heartbreak feels like.
Things in the dorm after that are tense between the oblivious Minho and heartbroken yet jealous Jinki. Jinki is no longer bubbly and bright and constantly challenging baby Taemin to video games or singing along with Jonghyun when doing cleaning. He’s silent and withdrawn, bruises forming under his eyes from the lack of sleep and lines of stress etched into his fair skin from the tension.
He only speaks when spoken to or during interviews. Even on variety shows, he doesn’t seem to be the life of the show, doing his body gags and telling lame jokes.
Minho, Minho doesn’t seem to notice the lack of touching and affection between him and his lover. He brushes it off as the stress of their packed schedule and rush hour lives.
“GODDAMMIT CHOI MINHO!” Kibum shouts one day, slamming his spoon down on the dining table after Jinki leaves, only taking a few bites of food. He lunges over the table, grabbing Minho’s shirt and shaking him until the younger can feel his brain sloshing in his head and teeth rattling.
“FIX IT! FIX IT! FIX IT!” Kibum screams wildly, giving Minho a few smacks on the face for emphasis and Jonghyun tries to pull Kibum off of their rapper. Taemin helps and Kibum is carted off to the nearby Seven-Eleven to calm down. Minho is in his seat, cheeks smarting from the smacks and head spinning from the shaking as he realizes, oh… oh no… Jinki-hyung and he rushes off to the bedroom, Taemin watching him go in exasperation.
“My hyung-deul are all idiots,” he mutters, cleaning the dishes. “Except for umma and Jinki-hyung,” he adds as an afterthought before soaping up the dishes.
Minho barges into the room, heart crumbling when he sees Jinki sitting on the top of the bunk bed by the window, staring out at the twinkling stars, silent tears tracking its way down his cheeks. “Jinki, oh, Jinki,” Minho breathes. Jinki jerks, hurriedly wiping away the tears as Minho easily climbs atop the bunk bed without the use of the ladder.
He gathers their leader into his arms and holds him close, breathing in the familiar scent that’s home to him. “I’m sorry I hadn’t realized Jinki-ah,” No honorifics are needed between them as Jinki sobs helplessly into Minho’s Dream Team shirt.
“I’m sorry,” Minho says. “So, so sorry,”
And then the world seems all right again after Jinki gives Minho a slap to the face and a large hug, nearly toppling them off the top bunk. “You’re an idiot Choi Minho,” Jinki sniffs miserably, cheeks splotched red from his crying as Minho gets them both off the top bunk and onto Jinki’s single bed.
“You make me irresponsible and I can’t think straight whenever you’re around and you make my heart fly in my chest,” Jinki grabs Minho’s hand and places it over his heart.
“I… I’m sorry?” Minho says, confused. Then Jinki gives him that thousand-watt smile that he hasn’t seen in forever, the smile that had him falling in love and then falling in love all over again every single damned time he sees it. Goodness, he thinks faintly, I'm whipped. And whatever Jinki says next has him brushing off that thought as he tacks on, I don't think I care though.
“I’m not,” Jinki breathes, inching closer, tears clinging to his lashes from earlier on. “All that mind blowing, heart stopping things doesn’t matter because… I love you and it’s enough isn’t it?”
Minho gives Jinki a rare gentle smile, brushing their lips together. “It’s enough,” he replies. “It’s always enough,”

Foot Note: Erm…. Well… Wasn’t my fault it ended so cornily? Blame it on my Minho muse ;A; Yes I know, Jinki forgave Minho so easily but we can’t have an angsty ending on a good day! Happy birthday Flaming Charisma!
