Chapter Text
Juntae is always moving around like a busy bee, jumping from one task to another, tirelessly. One moment he's in the study, next he's in the kitchen, then one of the living rooms. He's just everywhere and Hyuntak just finds it hard to pin him down to one place. Sure, Hyuntak is always unavailable during the day too, but he's usually only moving between two areas in the estate–the study and the training ground–so, it's never difficult to locate him. Even if they end up in the same place, more often than not, Juntae would just spare him a quick smile and get busy.
They would kiss and hold hands too, but those are always so brief and Hyuntak is sort of greedy, especially when it comes to Juntae. Again, he misses him especially in the evening, when he's alone in bed, with just his own voice in his mind At times like this, his head is always filled with the thought of Juntae–Juntae's smile, Juntae's touch, Juntae like this, Juntae like that. He might be lovesick, maybe even Juntae depraved. He misses him badly. Hyuntak tosses and turns, trying to somehow will Juntae into existence in front of him.
When that fails, he gets up from his bed and marches outside and heads towards Juntae's room. He's second guessing his decision as he gets closer. Juntae must be tired from working all day. He shouldn't disturb his rest. But on the other hand, he wants to see him and hold him in his arms. The hallways are quiet as he moves from one to another, until he ends up at his destination, the door to Juntae's room. He hesitates for a few seconds before finally knocking on the door—two slightly delayed knocks followed by two quick ones.
It doesn't take long for Juntae to open the door, greeting Hyuntak with a lovely smile that cures almost all of Hyuntak's yearning. Almost. Hyuntak dramatically engulfs Juntae's smaller figure with his own, all the while bewailing about their lack of interactions for the past few days. Juntae chuckles as he rubs along the length of Hyuntak's spine comfortingly, apologising for the limited contacts, explaining to Hyuntak that he's been pretty busy. Hyuntak nods, saying he understands. But still, that doesn't stop him from whining about it.
“Let's get inside. I don't want others to see you like this,” Juntae says, pulling Hyuntak inside by his hand, telling him to get in bed. Hyuntak does as he's told. Juntae joins him moments later, using Hyuntak's arm as a pillow. “Did you miss me, my love? You saw me this morning, though.”
“Ah, Jun, my darling,” Hyuntak says, wrapping his arms around Juntae's body, burying his face in Juntae's hair, “seeing you is not enough. I need to have you in my arms like this.”
“I can't breathe, relax your arms,” Juntae orders, voice pinched. Hyuntak reluctantly loosens his hold. “I can't do my job if you hold me like this, Tak-ah.”
“I missed you, Jun,” Hyuntak claims, raining down kisses on Juntae's face.
At one point, Juntae gets a little annoyed and he ends up getting up, drawing out protests from Hyuntak. He shuts up when Juntae puts his hands on either side of Hyuntak's head and some of his weight on his upper body. “You're too spoiled,” Juntae declares, "what do I do with you?”
Hyuntak smirks, a spark behind his eyes, “I have ideas if you're willing to listen,” he offers.
Juntae laughs and dips his head down to kiss Hyuntak on the lips, slow and deliberate, his hands touching the sides of Hyuntak's neck and eventually settling in his hair. He grows more passionate with each groan that escapes Hyuntak's lips. Tongue parting his lips, kissing him deeper. Hyuntak always feels warm with just a peck from Juntae, so now he feels like his entire body is on fire. Warmth licks his skin as Juntae's lips move against him and his hands roaming all over his arms and hair. Without his notice, Juntae is already fully on top of him, his full weight pressing down on Hyuntak's body.
“My darling, you're tired,” Hyuntak remarks as they part from the kiss, Juntae breathing heavily against his lips, sending shivers down Hyuntak's spine.
“Not for this,” Juntae replies. Hyuntak is tempted. He's been missing him after all. But, he knows how tired Juntae must be at the moment.
“Maybe, I should leave for now, Jun? You should be resting,” Hyuntak says, brushing his hands up and down Juntae's arms. Juntae sighs from the contact, sounding dangerously sensual that Hyuntak's hands stop. Hyuntak makes a move to get up, but Juntae places a hand on his chest, stopping him.
“Stay?” Juntae asks, eyes wide and pleading, lips adorably pouting, face all flushed, looking impossibly delectable.
Hyuntak is really just a man, because he's tongue-tied for a good minute, just looking into Juntae's imploring eyes and his wet, inviting lips. He gulps and his breaths come out shallow. His heart is beating erratically in his chest under Juntae's palm. Juntae must've realised he got him, since his pout slowly turns into a sultry smile, his hand pushing Hyuntak down onto the bed again. Hyuntak realises he hasn't answered him yet, but he really can't bring himself to say anything. Not when Juntae's looking at him with undisguised want as he keeps Hyuntak trapped here, between his thighs.
“You're staying,” Juntae says, finality in his voice and all Hyuntak could do is nod along to his words. Juntae smiles, a sweet one this time as he places a quick peck on the side of Hyuntak's lips. “I missed you, Tak-ah. Terribly.”
So, Hyuntak stays, giving in to Juntae's request and the next ones after that. A while later, when Hyuntak's eyes are starting to feel heavy and Juntae is peacefully slumbering in his arms, Hyuntak just thinks that it might be fine to miss each other sometimes. Especially when he gets to hold Juntae in his arms like this after. Hyuntak smiles, pressing a kiss against Juntae's temple, securing his arms around Juntae, and pulling him tight against his body, their legs entangled. Hyuntak only slackens his hold when Juntae whines in his sleep, feeling restricted.
Then, Hyuntak falls asleep too, listening to Juntae's slow and deep breathing, his body warm, and his heart content.
