@⁰¹ renjun h. "glad to know i have met your standards for a first date." she humored, letting him lull her into him as she took in his scent, easily finding comfort in it. she made herself comfortable in his embrace, adjusting lightly as she felt the soft material of the pillows behind them. her eyes were trained on their hands, watching how his thumb gently ran across her knuckles, lips forming a big smile at his words, a sense of warmth blooming in her chest. "then we have all the time we need." she answered, pulling away just a bit to look at him with a soft gaze. "i'm so thankful i met you, injun."
@⁰² doyeon k. "i'm glad that it was you also. i have already convinced myself that if it were anyone then i would have been completely disappointed." he snickered airily as he pulled her slim frame into him as he leaned back comfortably into the pile of pillows behind him, his chin resting on her shoulder to keep a clear view of her features, his own bright with content to her understanding words. his thumb swiped across her knuckles casually a number of times while their fingers were interlocked. "i would take all the time in the world for you." he whispered, tilting his head down just enough to press a kiss to her shoulder.
@⁰¹ jaemin n. for a short, fleeting moment, renjun's heart sank back into the pit of his stomach despite the playful gleam in his best friend's eyes as he began to speak, making him wonder if there was still some problem that they two had left undiscussed and jaemin decided to bring it up now. but in the next second, the dreadful feeling in the pit of his stomach had been replaced with a swarm of butterflies at the mere mention of the female who had recently caught his attention and earned his infatuation in the span of time the two males had been apart. he sunk down into his hoodie that was conveniently a couple of sizes bigger than his normal size for maximum comfort while lounging in the dorm as his face became a burning red color. "I-I was gonna tell you about her- it's just the fact that we never seen each other, much less talked to each other for so long that it made it a bit difficult." he started off. "i met her on that dating app. i downloaded as a joke and she's really the only one who caught my attention and i actually enjoyed talking to so we met up and...yeah." he explained while trying to dodge his words becoming a jumbled mess no thanks to how flustered he was currently. "i can't really explain the picture it's what it is." he rubbed his arm as if the impact on it actually caused him arm. "i'm not cheating on no one. i'm not that ty of a person, jaemin. doyeon and i, we aren't together...not yet at least. and as for jaewon, it's really nothing. i mean, it doesn't mean anything."
@⁰¹ renjun h. When the boy smooched him on the cheeks, Jaemin broke out into a little fit of laughter, eyes crinkling into little moons. And thats when he knew that they had both fallen back to the right place, where they both belong, how they should have been originally. And that was all it mattered to him. The silent treatments, the unhappiness they once had between them, the avoidance all thrown at the back of his head, forgotten.
Pulling away, the boy looks at him with pure adoration. Now that they had mended their friendship, there were much more pressing questions Jaemin had for him. “so…..” he starts off, a glint of mischief in his eyes as their eyes meet. “kim doyeon, huh. my best friend. How did you guys meet? I can’t believe i had to find out through instagram and that cuddling selfie, your hands on her thighs???” Jaemin gives Renjun’s arm a light slap. “… and jaewon? what’s up with him, are you cheating on Doyeon or what?”
@⁰¹ renjun h. she was quick to snuggle up into the boy's arms, letting out a soft hum as she listened. "i'm glad to be your "first proper date" then, injun." she mused, bringing her hands up to quote the phrase before letting out a laugh of her own. doyeon went on dates before, but those are harmless ones with the friends she has around the campus. "i get you, don't worry. i understand, trust me." she reassured him once more, reaching over to intertwine her fingers with his to give them a small yet comforting squeeze. "they definitely do. we have all the time to figure this out, we've no need to rush at all."
@⁰¹ jaemin n. The room fell silent once more, he wasn't sure if there was anything else left to say in this moment, one that started as a sour taste in his mouth that slowly became sweet. he wanted to stay like this just for a while longer, it seeming as it had been so long since he had his best friend this close to him. for once in the same span of time, he was content. at least as much as he could be with a heart that was still wrapped in bandage, taking it's sweet time to heal completely. while the idea of anything more than this was as unreachable as the stars, he was okay with it, not because he had no other choice of loose his best friend, but truly okay with it on it's own because at least at the end of the day, jaemin would be there by his side as he always been since they met. he would do anything, give up everything as long as he had the male in his life, no matter how it was.
he squeezed the male tight in his hold while turning his head to press the most annoyingly loud smooch on his cheek, a short laugh falling out from his lips after. "you mean absolutely everything to me, jaemin. i love you. always."
@⁰¹ renjun h. Jaemin knows exactly where he’s coming from. Renjun, alongside Yewon were the only two people that had caught him during his most vulnerable period. He remembers so clearly as if it happened just like it was yesterday, when he all he did time after time, day after day was to pick up the fragmented pieces of his heart, tried his best to piece them back together but to no avail. He remembers staying up night up night, unable to sleep because all he could think of was jeno. How the night sky and stars reminded him of him. Letting go was so tough for him and even till this day could he not bring himself to let go completely. Jaemin can definitely see the worries behind the other’s concern, if they were to switch positions, he was sure, he too would be the same. “ i know. “ is all Jaemin says to reassure him, that’s all he can actually say, he’s one hell of a confident person but definitely not when it comes certain person name Jeno and the matters of the heart. ( it also explains why he has never dated anyone in the past ) “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” A soft chuckle leaves his lips. He really loves renjun. He might not love him the way he wants to this life time, but when it platonic love, Renjun was irreplaceable.
“ Yes, I am your best friend, Renjun, that will never ever change. Whether you’re angry with me or happy with me. I promise. And if jeno and I ever get together, you’ll still be my best friend. That’s something that will never change. I’ll still come running if you ever call because you mean so much to me. More than you ever think of.”
@⁰² doyeon k. if one thing was for sure it was the fact that her understanding words made his heart swell with an undescribable amount of joy. a small smile to match hers tugged onto the corner of his lips as he stole one more lingering peck from her lips before creating a little bit of space but not much, his arms still secure around her frame. "I didn't, up until recently, have a lot of time to get close to people, much less kiss them. it's a pretty foreign thing to me. i don't think i've actually gone on a proper date before until we went on one." he laughed softly at just the mere thought and shook his head. "I very much like and want to kiss you. i just don't want to get too excited and ahead of myself and it end up in a mess you know?" he pressed a soft kiss on her cheek while squeezing her gently in his hold. "good things take time, right? i don't want to rush something that already has potential for something great, whatever it maybe."
@⁰¹ jaemin n. every tense muscle in his body relaxed in a second once he was embraced by the other, it had been far too long since he felt the comforting warmth that he gave, the hug that he had been craving for a countless number of days now. almost hesitantly, his arms circled around the other's frame, hugging him close as he could, desperate to keep that hold like the male would leave him if he were to let go. "of course i want you to be happy, jaemin. that's all i ever worked for when we're together, for you to happy. i'd do anything for you to be happy." he spoke quietly, leaning his chin on jaemin's shoulder. "i just...i don't want to see your heartbreak more than it already has. you have your hopes up, i can tell you do. but you're so unsure, it's dangerous for you." pulling away with a deep exhale, he rubbed his slightly red and tear glossed eyes with his hand and pursed his lips. "as your best friend, looking out for you since i doubt anyone else has said this to you. please be careful not for anyone else, not even me. but for yourself, jaemin. always keep yourself prepared for the unideal outcome. it's better to be safe than sorry."
he slumped back over into the other, bumping his forehead against his shoulder gently. "you're my person, jaemin." he started, squeezing the male's hand gently. "i could be infuriated with you, highly impossible but it could happen, and you'd still be one of my favorite people on this planet." he let out a soft chuckle. "you're stuck with me, okay? don't try to get rid of me, ever. i'd have to beat you up then superglue our hands together."
@⁰¹ renjun h. It’s not hard for Jaemin to understand Renjun’s vulnerability, being away from, the homesickness and only jaemin as a sole friend for him to depend on. He can totally understand where his best friend was coming from and his heart clenched a little. But he was determined to make it better, he wasn’t gonna run, not anymore. Getting up from the comfort of his bedding, the (now) black haired boy walked over, arms coming round the other’s smaller frame to embrace him in a warm gentle embrace. “nonetheless, i should have considered your feelings before i did anything to you or even just.. even when i was drunk, that was such a ty excuse. I should have realised what you had for me sooner before it came down to his. look at where this got us?” Jaemin sways the smaller side to side in a rather gently motion, lips pressed against the top of the other’s head before pulling away with a smile. “you’ll always be my best friend, jun, be it last time, now, or the future. yes, jeno might be back, but that doesn’t make him my best friend automatically and even if it does, it doesn’t mean i’ll push you aside for him anything. bros before hoes, ain’t it? I know i messed up at the party but considering that’s the first time i’ve seen him in a such a long time. I think it’s forgivable isn’t it. I know for someone who harbours feelings for me and it might be selfish of me to ask, but wouldn’t you want me to happy too? I’ve waited for him for the longest time. we kissed and i don’t even know if he loves me back, but all i know is that, i love him and want to be with him and if he or i messed up again, that’s really on me, i’m the stupid one and deserve to clean up my own mess.”
Reaching out, jaemin takes the other’s hand into his giving it a gentle squeeze. “ you’re so silly. “ he cracks a little smile, eyes softening as he looks at his best friend. “I literally can’t do anything without you. what makes you think i’ll leave you for him. you’ve got a special place here you know?” Jaemin points to his heart. “i’m not about to evict you anytime so don’t even think about it and you’re right, it’s something i know best which is why I wasn’t avoiding you, I was giving you all the space you needed. ”
@⁰¹ chenle z. her eyes fluttered open at the sudden stop of their actions, gaze looking at the male with a concerned look that they might've done something more than what he was comfortable with. her cheeks were flushed at the idea that this whole thing might be too foreign, thought running through her head soon calmed down as he started to speak, her lips forming a small smile through the small pecks he placed on her lips, shaking her head lightly as she spoke, "lele, you don't have to apologize." voice soft as she placed her hands on his cheeks, thumbs running caressing the soft skin gently. "we can stop if you want, you know. please don't feel like i'm going to push you away because of it." she reassured him, a soft laugh following short after. "we can do whatever you feel like doing, lele."
@⁰¹ jaemin n. "i just mean...i haven't really built my own league? i don't have that type of experience on my plate." his eyebrows furrowed together at jaemin's tone, his firmness being so rare that it always threw it off when it was used, especially when it's directed to him. time seemed to tick by slowly as he listened to jaemin, he wasn't even sure how long it took for him to respond, not because he was upset or trying to avoid it by just not talking, he really wanted to just finally talk it out but he found it so hard to grip the reality of it all. a small sigh slipped out, breaking the silence between them. "It wasn't the kiss jaemin. these feelings didn't just pop out of nowhere with a stupid kiss. i didn't realize they were as deep as they were until that happened, maybe because i was more vulnerable to my own feelings and didn't push them away for once, i don't know. but they've been there for some time." he fell silent once again, kicking his foot against the floor as a form of distraction. "I...think that I'm scared..? worried...? i know it's not my place to worry about it but i worry that he'll do what he did to you again. and you know that i'd be here to pick the mess up again. and if he does make things better then where does that leave me? he was your best friend before me so he could just easily come back in and take that away from me too, right?" his bottom lip trembled slightly as he felt his emotions bubbling up suddenly. "i quite literally dropped everything familiar to me, and left home to come here for you, jaemin. you're all i've known as a real true friend since we were sixteen. i would be completely lost without you. and maybe i'm stupid and childish to keep hanging onto you like i do but the idea that i'll be left by you...for him scares me." he turned his head to hopefully hide the couple of tears that bloomed in his eyes from the other and wipe the away with his shirt. "these fears aren't because i like you. i'm trying to get rid of those feelings but it's not something i can get rid of in a could days, you should know that obviously."
@⁰¹ chenle z. “She’s not out of your league. What do you mean by that anyway? You’re a league yourself, chenle. Why do you keep putting yourself down like that? “ there’s a hint of frustration and annoyance in his tone, obviously he doesn’t try to hide it, not when he’s trying to put his point across. Jaemin hates this so much, hates the awkwardness that has grown to be a problem and their main reason of miscommunication. “It’s not you though, it’s on me. It’s not that you weren’t enough? You were more than enough. I just... “ he pauses, a brief sigh leaving his. “Jeno was more than just a best friend to me, he’s my first love, my only love. And what you picked up, what’s left of me was the friendship he dropped. But lele, i love him. I love him so much i would do stupid things like go on night drives, talk to the stars so they could bring him back to me. I would hang onto anything that reminded me of him, everything a little memory just so i can have him close to me. It’s dumb i know. I’ve been trying to get over him for years but it’s not something i can just ‘oblivate’ from my head. It wasn’t because you weren’t good enough, it’s because i’m too hung up over someone i might never have. “ it’s so stupid, he thinks. And for all the time jeno has called him a stupid fool, he really is one. “ you’re not stupid, i just.. shouldn’t have kissed you. Not when i was dense when it comes to your feelings and when i was pissed drunk. Knowing i only had platonic feelings for you. I shouldn’t have led you on. That’s on me.”
@⁰¹ jaemin n. "thanks anyway, i'll have snacks for a couple of days then." he mused, opening the box and scanned over the items at least ten times, obviously trying to make direct contact with jaemin. the awkward tension between them was heavy on his chest, rising the feeling of anxiety he got the last couple of times they've tried to talk. he knew he couldn't let it bother him this time so he tried to ignore it, to push it away. "no, we don't like to spend every day together. it isn't anything like that." he replied, glancing at him. he had been meaning to tell jaemin about doyeon for some time now but the opportunity never came to him and ever since learning that the two were friends, it made him even more hesitant to talk to him about it for some unknown reason. "i'm not that kind of guy, you know that jaemin. besides, i can't be a to someone that's out of my league anyway, not risking ruining the one person who l-" he cut himself off and pursed his lips, it wasn't the time for his snide comments he had recently started to make. "i love you to, nana." he mumbled quietly, occupying himself by picking the sprinkles off one of the doughnuts, deciding that today was a day he didn't want those. "i'm not upset that you didn't return the feelings by the way, jaemin. i'm not that type of person. i know it seemed like that was the issue but it wasn't" he started, looking at him finally yet still avoiding eye contact by staring at any other part of the male that he could. "I just...wonder why i wasn't good enough after all these years when i was the one who helped pick yourself off the ground and glue back pieces but the one who did that to you, the one who abandoned you and didn't think about yout feelings then was good enough." he bit the inside of his cheek to silence himself as he felt himself getting upset. "i was stupid enough to get my hopes up and think that finally you were forgetting him and would like me too and then it all fell apart not even an hour later....and everything is ed up because i was being so stupid. i'm so stupid."
@⁰¹ chenle z. “yeah, i could have but you love everything there. it’s hard to choose.” Jaemin snorts as he sits on the edge of his bed, flopping back onto the comforters. There’s a slight puzzled look when the other thanks him, he’s almost certain that the other male has never done that - be courteous - when it comes to him, but he figures that it was bound to happen. He knows for sure they’ve both been treading water ever since the party and /the/ talk was long overdue. funny, because despite the multiple occasion given to them for the talk, it has never worked out, not without one or the other walking out or being blown off. “uh. so.. not going out with doyeon? “ he starts off. it’s weird when he talks about his other best friend to his best friend, along with the knowledge of them snogging. “i mean… you’ve been seeing her right? and you look happy with her. that’s what all i meant. “ Jaemin sit back up, folding his legs beneath him “ don’t you bully her. she’s the sweetest. I love her a lot. “ a little grin appears on his face. “and i love you a lot too, lele. I just want you to know that. “ His shoulder drops a little, smile gone just as fast as it appear as he look down at his fingers. “ I.. just want to let you know i’m sorry. You know.. for everything. for kissing you on the day of the party, then ditching you for jeno. and all the feelings that came after that that I could return, or how to react to it. I guess I handled it really badly and that was ty of me.”
@⁰² doyeon k. he was so unsure of what to do, this freedom that she gave him was beyond his experience. he didn't want to reach too far and disappoint her but he also didn't want to fall short and end up with the same result. his face was hot with the frustration of his own worries holding him back. being honest with her would be the right thing to do right? as pathetic as it would make him look. taking her face he reluctantly broke the kiss but was automatically pulled back in by the warmth radiating off her. settling on pecking her lips a countless number of times, a short, embarrassed chortle filled the room. "i'm sorry, doy." he began, pausing for another peck. "i just haven't really done this before." another quick kiss. god, he was like an addict and her lips were his choice of drug. "i just don't want to do anything wrong and risk you totally not wanting to be around me anymore."
@⁰¹ jaemin n. Chenle couldn't remember the last time he saw jaemin. it felt odd, how empty everything felt without him around when he was so used to his presence near him at all times, it weight him down with loneliness that couldn't couldn't be measured. jaemin was the last bit of comfort he had that was close to what he was so used to and he was just gone. he couldn't even tell who he should be upset at. himself for putting them in this position in the first place. jaemin for avoiding him, which he had all rights to after the number of times chenle had exploded on him the last couple of days or jeno for walking back into jaemin's life and taking him away from chenle. at some point, he had become so overwhelmed with the constant battle of trying to decipher his feelings that he had pushed them all away, forged happiness, and found other distractions and momentarily, forgot about jaemin to make himself hurt less. he wasn't expecting a text from the male, not so early but maybe he felt the same weight pulling him down as chenle did, maybe it was time for both of them to grow up and talk. hearing the door unlock and open, he peaked out from his pile of blankets and mumbled a quiet greeting to the male as he unwillingly wiggled his way out of the tangled mess caused by tossing and turning most of the night. "you could have just gotten anything, i would of been fine with anything. but...thanks, jaemin." he forced a smile onto his features and slowly reached for the cup of hot chocolate. "i didn't have anything to do today that's why i'm being lazy."
@⁰¹ chenle z. her mind was a blank canvas as their lips moved in sink, thoughts not even putting up a fight as she let him take on the lead. she melted quite easily into his embrace, not even thinking of fighting back. the light and joyous feeling of his soft tiers now being imprinted onto the forefront of her brain, painting the blank canvas into something of a deep red, somewhat mirroring the hues at were present on her cheeks as she prompted herself to face him, giving him more room and access to do whatever he wishes.
@⁰¹ chenle z. It had been days since Jaemin had seen chenle, he had found himself avoiding the other more than usual recently. This time, an excuse to return home for a couple of days in pretence that he had to see his parents, though it was more likely the other needed time to sort out everything in his head. Long ago was the talk overdue and he knew very well that avoiding it would only make it worse, which was why the fellow first year came bearing boxes of his bestfriend’s favourite donuts and a cup of hot chocolate in tow. “Hey lele, I’m back?” he peeks his head in, spotting the familiar figure on his bed lounging. bumping the door open with his hips, he had them set on the desk nearby, kicking the door behind him. “Uh, didn’t know what you wanted because you literally love this shop, i got one of each.” He grins sheepishly as he slipped out of his shoes, dropping his bag and card keys on the table. “still such lazy you are.”
@⁰² doyeon k. his head that once raced with a plethora of thoughts was suddenly aimed in on one thing. her. broken down into multiple thoughts but still focused on the girl in his arms. his lips curled upwards as the natural sweetness her plush lips had to offer lingered on his own, taking over his taste buds slowly as the lip lock went on. the rest of his hesitancy melted away in a matter of seconds, giving him a bit more confidence to pull the kiss a bit deeper as he tugged her body even closer to his as if there was much space left as it was. in the very back of his head, the worry of not being good popped up, his lack of experience laughing at him. so caught up in the moment, he was able to push the idea away until it faded away, letting her take back all his attention without much of a fight.
@⁰¹ chenle z. she was taking in as much of him as she could, wanting to remember how encapsulating his dark orbs are, that despite the rather dim lighting of the room, they were still very much illuminated— it showcased a beauty that the words were not enough to suffice the emotions it shows for her. not even once, did she think about getting caught in something like this but his energy was too much that she just let him reel her in even more, her arms now instinctively wrapping around his neck loosely to close their gap even more, digits playing with the ends of his soft locks; a soft sigh resonating from her as his plush brims connected with hers.
@⁰² doyeon k. a short, stifled laugh shook his weightless feeling shoulders at her comment. it was needless to say he was completely enchanted by the female. his brain was full of her, from her bewitching presence that has made an impact in his life from the day she stepped into it, to the way her skin felt as of made of the most delicate silk against his touch and even to those rosette colored tiers that kept pulling him in deeper and deeper like a current dragging something into the sea. the sea....he didn't need eyes blue as the sea when he was captured by hues was warm and sweet as chocolate. her words only had a second to process in his occupied mind before the remaining space between them disappeared as he captured her couplets in a tender kiss, his other hand moving from her arm to around her thin frame to gently tug her closer, the inches between them feeling more like countless miles in the moment.
@⁰¹ chenle z. "who would want to be like that anyways" she replied softly. the warmth he brought her was so easy to get lost in, doyeon feeling herself go at ease even more as the butterflies hammered at the pit of her stomach at this, rather, intimate situation she was in with the male sitting beside her at the moment. as soon as she felt the soft surface of his hands, it was all to easy for her to melt into his touch, her free hand now holding onto his. she let out a small shaky breath as she spoke quietly, "if you want to, then go, lele."
@⁰² doyeon k. slowly that heat in his cheeks spread across his whole body like a wildfire. he couldn't put a finger on the last time he had felt his way when being so close to someone. the fluttering of butterflies in his stomach grew intensely. "being like others is really lame." he mumbled softly. chenle was always the type to give back twice as much as he took, it never settling right for him to just take without giving something in return. with his hand that lingered on her cheek, he pressed his palm against it, holding her face tenderly, his thumb rubbing small circles on the high of her cheekbones. he was lost for words as he took in her warm yet so entrancing gaze, unsure if he should move with or aganst his natrual instinct to close up the rest of that space between them.
@⁰¹ chenle z. she let out a soft hum, breath hitching at the throat as they both inched closer. to say that her heart wasn't racing would a lie. she could barely even remember the last time she ever felt like for someone. "then im glad to know that you're not like others." she responded, remembering a few people who took her kindness for granted, causing the fear that she had in the first place. with how close they are, she rested her forehead against his, eyes locked as she quietly whispered back, "when the time is right."
@⁰² doyeon k. for the first time since arriving at saebom or even the country, he felt that familiar warmth and comfort that he only got when he was at home. all his problems were washed away in an instant as he melted into her warm touch. "i don't have to, but i want to. taking things for granted was never my style." he humored slightly. with each inch between them closing, the faster and harder his heart pounded against his chest, raising the concern that she could hear it as loud as it thumped in his reddening ears. "when the time is right."
@⁰¹ chenle z. to be frank, maybe it was doyeon's emotionally harsh childhood that lead her to be open for affection of any kind. she loved sharing stories of what goes on in her day to anyone who cared to ask her about it but she promised herself to never become too close and comfortable with a person; one can even count those who know her backstory with a single hand一 but with the male next to her, it was all too easy to ignore the oath she made to herself. her cheeks grew warmer in shade at the close proximity they were in, her eyes quickly casting down on the others lips before looking right back into his warm hues, "you don't have to thank me for anything, lele. you're free to tell me anything." she responded, leaning into his touch even more. "i'll be ready to listen once you decide to tell me then."
@⁰² doyeon k. she made it so easy for him to open up, easier than he had ever experienced. a part of him was hesitant just how easily he was letting himself go for someone he had only known for a short period of time. but all the same, it gave him a sort of solace, that it was okay to let himself open up to people and become vulnerable in certain forms. a sigh of relief managed to slip past his lips as he inched closer to her, leaning into her warmth. "thank you for letting me open up to you like this." he whispered as he traced small, invisible circles on her cheek with his knuckle. "hm, maybe i'll keep that a secret for now."
@⁰¹ chenle z. his words were enough to cause a surge of butterflies to flutter inside her, surprised at the fact that she was on the receiving end of his rarely shown affection. "regardless, i'm still thankful you've decided to open up with me like this." she answered, a happy sigh coming from her lips at the thought. doyeon was naturally an affectionate person with her friends, always wanting to give them the affection that she didn't have get to experience; but have someone give the same thing she's pouring out gave her a newfound sense of comfort. the way his fingers lightly touched left a small blaze trail on her skin. she instinctively snuggled up her cheek against this hand as she smiled, quietly asking him. "then what is it on yours?"
@⁰² doyeon k. he pushed every thought about anything but the female to the back of his brain to deal with, later on, refusing to let such trivial things ruin his mood or time with her. "i'm sure you did, even now. i don't really give this treatment to anyone." he spoke before his brain could process in time to stop it. "i mean- yeah it doesn't happen often-" he stammered slightly, mentally knocking himself on the head. her words struck a chord inside him, resulting in his hand squeezing her's with much more affection than before. he couldn't say the same completely, affection being normal between him and his best friend but not once did he feel the jittery excitement pulse through his veins and fluttering of butterflies in the pit of his stomach like he was now. his hand came up to carefully brush back her hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ear. his knuckle tenderly graze the apple of her cheek, chuckling adoringly at the warmth radiating off of her skin. "then, it'll be something else on my list."
