"Renjunnie, my sexy little kitten, c'mere!" Jaemin calls from the couple's shared bedroom.
After a couple seconds, Jaemin hears the little pitter-patter of his boyfriend's feet then Renjun appears in the doorway and in his usual fashion, Jaemin stares for a second to take all of him in.
Renjun's small hands are wringing in a kitchen towel, an apron is tied tightly around his itsy bitsy waist (Jaemin made sure it was too big when he bought it so now whenever he ties it, the cinch is VERY apparent), and he has a pink face mask on.
He's becoming increasingly annoyed as he stands in the doorway and it gives Jaemin a surge of joy because annoyed Renjun is in the top five of his favorite type of Renjun (pouty Renjun barely beat it for third) and is top three for the sexiest Renjun, after horny Renjun at one (obviously) and angry Renjun coming in at two.
Renjun starts tapping his foot after a few more seconds of silence, "Jaemin, you know I hate when you do this shit."
"What shit, baby?" Jaemin asks, not even attempting to hide the wide grin on his face.
"When you call me just to not say anything. It's annoying!"
Jaemin glides over to stand directly in front of him, "I know love." then he stands there staring at his boyfriend some more.
"If you know, then why do-" Renjun is cut off by Jaemin pressing their lips together.
When they pull apart, Jaemin hums, satisfied.
"Is that all you wanted?"
Jaemin nods.
Renjun rolls his eyes and turns to go back into the kitchen, but doesn't escape without Jaemin smacking his ass on his way out.
💋
Renjun is scrolling on his phone while some TV show plays in the background as he waits for Jaemin to return with their takeout.
He's about to call him to see where he's at when the other man waltzes inside with the takeout bag in one hand and a drugstore bag in the other.
Renjun approaches him and gives him a quick peck then turns to the takeout bag to rummage through it and find what he wants.
"Baby, don't be boring." Jaemin whines.
"Baby," Renjun mocks his tone, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Jaemin waves the drugstore bag in his face.
He humors his boyfriend, "Did you get some like, exclusive flavored lube or something?"
Jaemin smirks, "Yes actually, I was hoping we could use it later, it's mango peach, but that's not the only thing I got."
Renjun isn't really paying attention as he takes large bites of what's supposed to be Jaemin's eggroll while scrolling on his phone, "Oh yeah, what else did you get?"
"Well, I noticed that you were out of lip balm, so I got you some."
Renjun looks up from his phone and at Jaemin, "Babe, that's actually so sweet. How'd you know?" he takes the lip balm from Jaemin and begins to fiddle with (read: struggle to open) the packaging.
"Because I'm the best boyfriend in the world." Jaemin informs him and takes the plastic out of his hand to open it himself.
"I guess I'll agree this time, but any other day of the year, it's me."
"Of course darling, wouldn't want it any other way. Now, put it on." Jaemin thrusts the little tube into Renjun's hand.
Renjun takes it reluctantly, "Damn. Are my lips that dry?"
"Oh, no sweetheart. I just want you to put it on because the tint looks so good on you."
"Aww, thank you babe. I'll put it on right now, just for you."
Jaemin didn't know it was possible to fall even farther in love than he was already, but damn, who knew putting lip balm on was the way to a man's heart (it may potentially just be Jaemin's heart).
After applying a hefty coat, Renjun puckers his lips at Jaemin.
Jaemin is a man who doesn't miss an opportunity (he'd like everyone to know that).
He immediately leans in and catches Renjun in a long kiss until they finally release because they'd run out of air: 1, Renjun worried that the food was getting cold: 2.
💋
Renjun knew Jaemin was an extremely affectionate person, it's one of the many things he loves about him, but damn. Between last night and today, Jaemin might've kissed him a grand total of a million times.
Okay, maybe not that many, but it was A LOT. Even for Jaemin who says 'I love you' when he passes him the remote. Even for Jaemin who leaves him sticky notes in the kitchen describing little things that he loves about him just out of his reach so he always has to see them. Even for Jaemin who makes all of his pancakes, sandwiches, cookies (pretty much all things that can have a shape) heart-shaped just so he can be reminded of his love with every bite.
It was almost comical how many times Jaemin had kissed him at this point. He was sure his lips were gonna bruise if the other man kept this up.
He just didn't get why. Their anniversary was a couple months ago, Jaemin's birthday was not that long ago, and his birthday was months ago.
It probably wasn't that big of a deal, after all, Jaemin does love kisses.
💋
It is now 'that big of a deal': Renjun's lips have slightly bruised, Jaemin's lips have slightly bruised, and there seems to be a slight lip balm infestation.
Everywhere Renjun turns, he sees a tube of lightly tinted, coconut lip balm.
He thought he was just seeing things at first, but now he's sure of it.
First it was in the bathroom, which would've been fine had it not been FIVE tubes. Then, it was in the bedroom, on and in his nightstand and his side of the dresser drawers. After, he started seeing them in the most random of places: the coffee table, the kitchen counter, one for both cup holders of his car.
He doesn't even remember buying this many.
The worst part is that they keep multiplying.
Just this morning, there was only one tube on the kitchen table and now there are four rolling around.
It was just ridiculous at this point and Renjun was going to get to the bottom of it.
💋
Okay, so in the process of Renjun getting to the bottom of this lip balm hysteria, he might've gotten a bit distracted.
Jaemin pulled him in for a long slow kiss after he'd applied a layer of the lip balm and when he thought they were done and he could begin his interrogation, Jaemin pulled him in for another kiss. And another. And another.
So many 'and anothers' that Renjun barely got time to catch his breath between the kisses.
After one particularly steamy kiss, Renjun decided enough was enough and as much as he'd love Jaemin's lips on his, he needed answers.
"Baby, stop thinking and kiss me." Jaemin says, drawing Renjun's body closer to his. They settled for having their kissing session on the couch with Jaemin hovering above Renjun's face, until now when he picked him up and placed him in his lap.
"I will in a second, but first, I have some questions." Renjun replies, detective mode finally turning on.
"Oooh questions, okay." Jaemin says, excitedly clapping his hands together.
"First, where have all these lip balms been coming from?"
"The store."
"Okay smartass. I meant like, you're the one who's been putting them all over the house, right? 'Cause if not then I think I'm going crazy and we'll have a different problem on our hands."
"Oh! Yeah, that was all me darling."
"That was surprisingly easy for you to admit." Renjun points out skeptically. Jaemin simply hums.
"Well, next question, have you always done this and I didn't realize or is this just a new thing?"
Jaemin thinks for a second, "It's pretty new."
Renjun accepts that for now, "So, time for the big question." Renjun rubs his hands together dramatically, "Why?"
"Why what, my love?" Jaemin asks, feigning innocence (he even tilted his head to one side, that fucker).
"You know. Why are there a ton of coconut scented, pink-tinted lip balms laying around everywhere?"
Jaemin looks around as if there is no way Renjun could be talking to him.
"This why you were being so nice before, you asshole. You planned on not answering the fucking question." Renjun points an accusing finger at Jaemin (it ends up in his face since Renjun is still sitting on his lap).
Jaemin leans up and kisses the tip of Renjun's finger, "Bingo baby. Now, can we get back to kissing?"
"Um, no! You need to answer or no kisses for the rest of the day."
Jaemin gasps at this. In slew of all the horny feelings annoyed Renjun was stirring up, he forgot one very important fact: annoyed Renjun is the most unreasonable of all! (in his opinion at least, their friends may argue differently).
"Baby, that's literally an eternity!" he whines.
"I'm sorry, but if you're not gonna answer me then that's your punishment."
Jaemin sends him a look which puts a bit of heat in the bottom of his stomach, "What do you know about punishments, sweetheart?" he asks in a low voice.
Renjun nearly falls into the trap, but he pulls himself back before it catches him, "No, no, we are not doing this right now Jaemin! You can dirty talk me all you want LATER. Right now I need you to answer the fucking question!"
"Now you're holding dirty talk and sex hostage? What next? Head? Food? Water? Other basic neccessities?"
Renjun snorts at his dramatics.
Jaemin continues, "All over some stupid lip balm?"
"If they're so stupid then tell me why they're here!"
"No!"
"Ugh, why?"
"Because it's stupid, darling."
"Jaemin, I'm going to beat your ass."
Jaemin grins, "Have you ever realized how sexy you are when you're annoyed?"
"I don't think about that shit when I see coconut lip balm looking at me from my periphery." Renjun deadpans.
Jaemin heaves a ridiculously dramatic sigh, "Fine, do you wanna know why I've been buying all this lip balm?"
"Jaemin, don't act like I haven't been asking you that fucking question for the past five minutes." Renjun states.
"Shh, you'll ruin my confession. Now anyway, where was I? Oh yeah! Do you wanna know or not?"
Renjun heaves a ridiculously dramatic sigh, "Yes, yes, I would like to know."
Jaemin's eyes glint with mischief.
"Be-" he lands a kiss on Renjun's nose, "cause." he kisses the bridge of Renjun's nose. "It." he kisses Renjun's right cheek, "Makes." he kisses the left cheek then pauses, taking in the gorgeous sight of his boyfriend.
Red is rising to his cheeks from a mix of being bombarded with kisses as well as the irritation swelling in him. His lips have become a temporary shade of dark red from all of the kisses Jaemin's been delivering to them. His eyes say it all though, they tell Jaemin that Renjun is enjoying all of this extra attention That he's quite amused by Jaemin's taking the scenic route to get to his answer. That he loves how utterly difficult he's being (though he knows for a FACT Renjun would never admit to that).
"Stop punctuating every fucking syllable with a kiss and just tell me, Jaemin."
"Baby, don't be boring." Jaemin whines.
"Baby, don't you wanna kiss me uninterrupted? Yeah? Well then tell me then we'll kiss for however long you want."
Jaemin would never pass up such an opportunity, "That's all you had to say, sexy! I keep buying that lip balm 'cause it makes your lips taste even better than usual."
Renjun stares at him.
Really stares at him.
He stares so hard that Jaemin is a little worried that he's considering breaking up with him and that his eyes were lying until he hears little giggles that grow into roars of laughter.
"Are you being so serious right now, babe?" Renjun asks in between laughs.
"Uh, yes." Jaemin answers hesitantly.
"That was it?"
"Yeah."
"Damn, you don't lie. That is pretty stupid."
"I mean this with the utmost love baby; I can't stand you."
"I don't know how true that is 'cause you've been literally sucking my face off for the past couple days."
"Okay, shut up. I answered your stupid question now I get to kiss and fuck you to my hearts desire."
Renjun lets one last laugh slip out then leans towards Jaemin's face, "Go right ahead."
