Work Text:
it was a normal free day for hyunjin, just laying in his bed while being on his phone responding to fans on ‘bubble’.
‘hyunjin wheres lixiee!’ -a fan asked.
hyunjin laughs ‘not sure, maybe out with a member!’ he replied back.
‘favorite dance you preformed at lollapalooza?’ -another stay asked.
hyunjin had to think for a moment because the night was absolutely perfect. he enjoyed every performance and he thought he did well in every performance.
‘hmm this is hard but i liked doing ‘my pace’ because it had been a while since we last preformed it!’ -he replies after a few minutes of thinking.
‘hyunjin-ah what are you doing right now?’ -another fan asked.
hyunjin smiles immediately knowing what to say, ‘thinking of you stays 😘’.
he’d never turn down the opportunity of flirting with stays.
he was gonna respond to another stay when he heard a soft knock on his dorm rooms door.
he would get back to that later, he put his phone down and made his way to the door.
he wasn’t sure who it was, of course but he had a tingling feeling that it was a certain someone that he had been wanting to see all day.
he cracked the door open slightly to see a mess of slightly damp, wet, red hair.
minho.
“Hey, you busy?” he asked a dopey smile on his face.
it was kinda cute, hyunjin smiled, “no, why?”
the boy shrugged, “just bored and wanted to see if we could hangout for a bit.”
and oh my god did hyunjins heart flutter.
hyunjin stepped to the side, indicating that the boy could come in, “of course.”
minho smiled quickly and made his way into the dimly lit room and flopped on the bed.
hyunjin laughed at the sight, “were you practicing?” he asked because the boy seemed to have just gotten out of the shower and was clearly drained of energy.
minho didn’t say anything just a quick hum, meaning he had just gotten done practicing.
hyunjin smiled and walked over to his bed, sitting down once he was close enough.
while minho stayed laying down, hyunjin sat on the bed rather than laying down.
hyunjin didn’t quite know what to talk about because he didn’t want to disturb the older but also he was the one who said that he wanted hangout but hyunjin decided to just let the silence linger for a while longer.
minho didn’t say a word, the only thing that could be heard from him was light breathing and an occasional groan.
hyunjin assumed the slight groaning was because he was sore from dance practice, which of course the latter was because it was a hell of a process to dance.
stretching, than getting what you needed together, fiddling with the music and moves so that they were synced up and looked just right. it was a whole thing.
hyunjin did become bored because nothing was happening. what kind of hangout was this supposed to be?
hyunjins eyes wandered around the room, across the walls, on the bed before they fell on something.
minho’s cute little hands. now of course hyunjin knew that people wouldn’t typically call minho ‘cute’, but he couldn’t help but feel as if he was.
the whole reason minho came up with the hashtag ‘leeknowiscute’ was so people saw him as a little more than just someone who was ‘cold’ and ‘mean’.
so maybe it wasn’t so crazy that hyunjin found minho cute.
but his hands were undeniably adorable. they were small and looked soft. his knuckles were a slight shade of red.
now of course his hands could get all veiny and look extremely attractive but at the end of the day they were still small and that was not going to change.
hyunjin wasn’t thinking much when he grazed his fingers over the top over minho’s limp hand.
the older’s reaction was subtle but it was there, he flinched slightly and his gaze lifted from the floor to look at hyunjin.
hyunjin didnt shy away, he kept grazing it, “your hands are so small.” he said sounding very amused.
minho squinted his eyes and turned onto his side, “they’re not that small, yours are just huge for no reason.” he replied with no real bite.
hyunjin rolled his eyes playfully, “this is an average hand size,” he replied while tracing little shapes into the others palm.
minho snorted at that, “no it’s not,”
“yes it is, that’s literally a fact.” he replied back instantly.
minho now had an amused smile on his face, “whatever, i think mines are a normal hand size.”
hyunjin shock his head dramatically, because duh he’s hyunjin. “your fingers are short,”
with a quick roll of his eyes minho answered, “i mean it would be weird if my fingers were long but my hand was small.”
hyunjin pictured this and found it quite funny causing an amused chuckle to fall past his plump lips, “i guess.”
after that it went silent again but hyunjin didn’t stop the subtle caressing of minho’s hand. it was quite mesmerizing to watch the hand slightly twitch when the caresses got more soft, kinda like a feather.
hyunjin got sick of waiting and finally intertwined his much longer fingers with the shorter ones.
the fit was somehow perfect even though there was a obvious difference in size. the soft, warm feeling of minho’s hand was something hyunjin could quite literally get lost in.
it was quiet for a bit but hyunjin did eventually break the comfortable silence.
“i like holding your hand.” hyunjin’s voice was soft and sincere, not a single ounce of fake feelings or fake emotion heard.
it made minho quite happy.
hyunjin didn’t let the red tint to minho’s ears go unnoticed but reframed from mentioning it, which yes he usually would tease the older about it but this moment was sweet and he didn’t want to ruin that.
minho smiles slightly, “i’d think it would feel weird,” he said because with the size different he thought it would make sense.
hyunjin pouted slightly and shrugged, “nah, it feels normal.” perfect.
he didn’t say that but he definitely thought it.
minho looked pleased enough with the response anyways.
“your hands are soft.”
minho’s smile grew noticeably, “hmm, that’s because i take good care of them.” he says in his usual ‘no shit’ lee know voice.
almost as if hyunjin was supposed to know that minho put in extra time to make sure his hands looked good.
hyunjin smiled widely, “pro in taking care of hands.”
minho smiled, “exactly.”
hyunjin laughed at the sincereness in minho’s voice.
“i love your small hands.” hyunjin said rubbing his thumb around the soft skin.
minho grumbled, “you don’t need to keep bringing them up.” he said in a displeased voice, even though hyunjin knew he really didn’t care.
hyunjin laughed, “i said i loved them!”
minho sighed, “still, we don’t need to keep talking about them.” he said dragging the last word out a bit with a small pout.
hyunjin pushes the others face away slightly with his non preoccupied hand, “fine fine, i’ll just think about it.”
minho glared at him “yah! wanna take a trip to the air fryer?”
hyunjin laughed, “you can’t threaten me if i’m just thinking.”
“yes i can, if you’re thinking about me.” he replied immediately.
hyunjin squeezes the hand still under his, “then i should have been burned to a crisp a while ago because i think about you often.”
his voice dripped like honey and minho couldn’t help the smile that came onto his lips.
“you’ll take any opportunity to flirt.” he said with a laugh.
hyunjin gaped at him, “so do you.”
minho chuckles, “hmm.” all that came from his mouth was a hum.
after a minute of silence minho let go of hyunjin’s hand and before he could ask why the latter was on top of him.
this wasn’t a new position for the two. it happened quite often actually, minho laying completely on hyunjin and wrapping his arms around his neck.
hyunjin grunts softly, “why do you always lay on me completely?”
“so you can’t leave.” he says matter-a-factly.
hyunjin laughs, “if you laid like a normal person i wouldn’t leave.”
minho pretends to be shocked, “so your telling me you’ll leave if i lay like this?”
hyunjin swats his back softly, “no, but it’s definitely not my favorite way to lay with you.”
“it’s mine.” minho says with a small smile.
hyunjin nods with a quick laugh, “i can tell.”
it’s minho’s turn to softy hit hyunjin, “what’s yours?”
without second thought hyunjin moved minho on his side and spooned him from behind, wrapping his arms around minho’s waist.
minho makes a noise between a grunt and a sigh, “i could’ve moved myself.”
“i wanted to move you.” hyunjin says with a shrug.
“of course you like this.” minho says with a sigh.
hyunjin laughs, “we never lay like this often but whenever we do it nice.”
minho smiles, “hmm, another reason why i like the other one is because i also don’t feel cramped.”
hyunjin frowns ever so slightly, “oh, do you feel cramped?” he says pulling away slightly.
minho stops him quickly, “no, it’s okay.”
hyunjin looks unsure, “you sure?”
minho nods, “we can lay like this if you like it.”
hyunjin sighs, “do you like it?”
minho’s laughs at the slight sadness in hyunjins voice, “i don’t hate it.”
hyunjin lets go slightly, “so you don’t like it but you don’t hate it?”
“i never said that.”
hyunjin pouts, “then what are you saying?”
minho pulls him back and smiles to himself, “it’s neutral, i like it but i’m not crazy about it.”
hyunjin smiles softly, he’s satisfied with that answer and the slight sweetness in minho’s voice is enough for him relax into the warmth.
“okay.”
after sometime hyunjin put his head in the crock of minho’s neck.
“i like it more now.” minho says with a comfortable sigh.
hyunjin smiles but doesn’t lift his head, “hmm, whys that?”
“don’t push it hyunjin-ah, you know why.” minho says and hyunjin can hear the glare.
he laughs, “okay okay, good to know hyung.”
minho hums again softly.
“i also like when i hug you from behind.” minho says quietly.
“really?” hyunjin asks even though it not all that shocking.
he knows minho isn’t very fond of skin-ship. well he kinda is, you could very often see him give the members side hugs or hug them from behind.
“yeah, since your taller i can lay my head on you comfortably.” he says nonchalantly.
hyunjin smiles for like the one hundredth time that night, “i like every way we cuddle.”
minho smiles too even though hyunjin cant see it, “me too.”
and just like that the two of them fell asleep surrounded in nothing but peace and warmth.
hyunjin’s bubble chat long forgotten.
