It had been three blissful months since that night at the amusement park where Jae had told Hanseol that he loved him for the first time. What followed was a sense of exploration for the two of them as they slowly figured out the foundation of their relationship. Jae really liked being in a relationship, he liked the confidence that it fed into his daily life now and how much inspiration it had given him for his writing. He hadn't really told anyone yet but he had started work on a book of sorts which he was really happy with the progress of. honestly, it was kind of writing itself at this point and that excited him a lot. 

There were still a few things he did struggle with when it came to his relationship though, the first was finding balance in his life between all the things going on, with classes, working on the weekends, hanging out with his friends, of which he had made a few in the time he had been in Evermore, namely Daehyun Stormwind and then making time to spend with Hanseol, he was a very busy person nowadays. He liked that though, it was exciting for him to always have things to look forward to. He enjoyed the mix of things that he and Hanseol did, they tried their best to make it out for dates at least once a week but most of their time together was spent at the house, honestly, Jae was pretty sure at this point he was addicted to Hanseol's cooking, or just addicted to Hanseol in general really.

One thing that really weighed on his mind now was the fact that he hadn't shared any part of this life with his family, it was the reason he couldn't update his relationship status online and why he would always avoid taking calls from home, especially if it was his father. He'd promised Hanseol that this was what he wanted and that he had every intention of telling them, but every time he thought he had the courage to do it, he ended up finding a reason not to. Honestly, he was just scared of losing anyone and he wasn't sure that feeling would ever go away but he did intend on telling them, he was at the place now where he was sure this relationship was good for him, being around Hanseol made him feel like a better person and he really liked caring for someone and having them care for him in return, he didn't give a damn that Hanseol was a man rather than the perfect woman he knew his parents wanted him to meet. 

Jae had finally been busted by his roommates though, which was probably for the best considering he was barely ever at the dorm anymore, only coming back late at night to sleep because he needed to be in class early that day and Hanseol's house wasn't exactly the best location for getting to campus early in the morning. It had kind of becoming a running joke that Jae would never be there in the morning, he was a morning person and he found it really hard to stay in bed once he was awake so when Han woke up, the dhampir was usually gone, though Jae did make a habit of always leaving him little notes and letters to make up for it but he knew that the celestial was probably getting tired of waking up to an empty bed.

These were all the thoughts that Jae had as he stared down at his phone while riding on the subway, changing the music on his phone and waiting for his stop, this was his regular route over to the west of the city to where Hanseol lived, it felt like such second nature to him now that he didn't even need to look up and check the stops as the subway went along its usual route. He was running later than normal because he'd stayed for an extra ad hoc lecture offered by his professor but he'd already let Han know he was going to be late so he didn't have to worry. It had been a good lecture, but by the time he was done, he was buzzing to get out of there and not think about study for the rest of the evening. When the subway stopped at his stop he hopped off the train and started walking the familiar route from the station to the place he kind of considered a second home, at least he had a drawer of things there anyway. 

It was the day before his 22nd birthday, though he hadn't mentioned that to quite literally anyone, he wasn't much for birthdays and always preferred to treat the day as if it was a normal day, most of his friends back home didn't even know when his birthday was because they'd never managed to pry it out of him. Hanseol of course though, had managed to worm the truth out of Jae, he just hoped the other male didn't go too overboard with any celebrations because Jae just wasn't the party type, though neither was the celestial so he didn't feel like he had too much to worry about. He looked up and pulled his headphones out of his ear as he walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. 

It was a bit of a pain that Han always locked the front door but he couldn't question the fallen star's need for security after what happened at the clinic so he always waited patiently for the other male to come and let him in. When the light cracked open and the door swung wide the dhampir smiled brightly as his gaze fell on Hanseol, his star, honestly his whole world. Every time he saw him he still beamed that same way, as though he was looking at his beauty for the first time "Hey there gorgeous" he spoke softly as he leaned in and captured the other male by his clothes and then pressed a warm sweet kiss against his lips. He instantly noticed the amazing smell coming from inside the house and raised his brows "Okay what smells utterly divine" he commented as he stepped inside, his eyes twinkly as he looked over at Han for a moment "Other than you of course" he chuckled nudging the door shut behind him.

It has never escaped his mind that he should relish in his current life, since everything it turning out well, with the exception of his night terrors plaguing the land again. But there hasn't been any recent attack since the last one which dated back to 4 months ago or so, and he's been getting ahold of his celestial abilities with his training with Ophelia. His clinic is advancing with more funds and approaches, and most importantly, he had the most beautiful person he's ever met right by his side. Life was good, and even if it won't last forever because every good thing must come to an end, would it so such a pain for him to leave everything behind without even doing a few trial and error?

Hanseol has never made a decision that he has yet to regret, even the part where he chose to keep his sleeping issues away from Jae, he didn't regret it. He did what he thought was right and would continue to stand by it until the end of his days. Jae liked to give, and Han liked being on the receiving end, mostly because he's only ever know his mother's kindness which didn't last long because the world took her away. But despite that, there were occasional times when he gives. Befitting his character, Hanseol likes to pamper and spoil his beloved beings, ranging from Jae up to his pets like Byul, Yeontan, and Jr. It's in a sense where he wasn't able to know or at least, remember what it feels like, to be cherished that way. Especially with Jae's family problem, he wanted to show the dhampir that he'll always have a home here. That's why he had something made for his birthday today, but that can wait until morning.

For now, he's a little preoccupied by the half-valkyr taking up every single dust of his attention with ease. His half lidded gaze never left the other male's own, prompting for him to bite down on his lip occasionally when he's trying to refrain himself. As its been frequently stated, Hanseol had no self control, most of the time. It's amazing to see him still standing his ground. The more Jae teased him, the more the celestial pushed his palms against his cheeks, initially covering his face in response to his comment. “I'm already burning up, I don't think I'll appreciate looking like a plump tomato right now. Strawberry's fine because they're exclusive” he mumbled, his voice muffled behind his hands. That trip on the stairs really crushed his pride, causing the star to feel more flustered than ever. God, can he stop being embarrassing. He's tripping! That's one way to describe it, yes.

Han knew Jae noticed how he's been evading his gaze, and hoped the dhampir knew why he's doing that. He's just being extremely shy tonight and he had no idea why. It's a whole 180 for him even if he is a shy guy in general. For all that he's known, Jae told him he's never bit anyone before. The half-valkyr struggled to come to terms with his supernatural identity too but he's still young, only 21, well 22 now. So to be the first for him made the star felt more touched, since this is huge. He had no idea how his blood would've tasted, he only ever saw Yeon drinking from him and that wasn't really long to begin with. He's proven wrong entirely when he felt the sudden lurch in his heart the moment Jae sank his teeth in.

A shiver runs through his spine again, the burning heat coiling inside him felt a lot more painful than the actual bite. Sure it felt slightly sore, but his stomach was knotting, twisting his insides like it had a degree in being a boy scout. The moans elicited from Jae was enough to send him spiraling, that alone is enough to make him jolt, now with stupid sexual things he had in mind for his boyfriend who's currently basking in this said moment. Hanseol squirmed faintly in the dhampir's hold, mainly because he's feeling very hot right now, like his insides were burning and was asking desperately to be extinguished with water if he's not going to feed into it. It didn't help that he's currently bare chested, the temperature of the room didn't seem to bother him the slightest because all that matters right now was Jae who seemed like he had the time of his life previously.

Feeling the nails dig in his flesh, the celestial hissed in response, returning the gesture with one of his own, where his grip tightened around his hip. The dhampir wasn't messy, far from it really, but he wasn't clean either. So by the time the celestial had already latched his lips onto the male's own, he could taste the leftover smeared across his lips. Not exactly his cup of tea, but then again he didn't think to find his blood edible. All thoughts about his blood went out of the window when all he's focused on was attacking the dhampir's lips instead. It didn't seem like the latter was ready to let him take control either, which spurred something inside him. That smirk didn't escape his notice, he could feel it forming in the kiss which evoked a scoff coming from him.

Groaning mildly following the bottom lip tug by Jae, he sucked in the air and stared at the male he's caging underneath him, his eyes glazed over as he eyed him not so subtly. He closed his eyes briefly feeling the hand tangled in his locks, a small tug is all Jae needed to do to elicit another moan from him, it's basically engineered in the star already to react to such impulse. Hearing praises is another one of his preferences, which caused his chest to rumble in laughter when he chuckled. “Does that make me your sweet then? An addictive kind?” Two can play at the game, he's not about to fall behind while trying to catch up. Shaking his head as he clicked his tongue in annoyance, he trailed his finger around the helm of the dhampir's top. “Why is this still on.”

When he's asked how he's feeling, he had a lopsided grin masking his features as he tilted his head cutely, leaning closer, extremely and dangerously close to Jae's lips. “Just peachy. Thought I'd feel a lot more sore, but it's not so bad. If I'm gonna get sore, least I can do is make sure it comes from the right places, you can definitely help with that” he purred, blowing softly against the dhampir's lips. Brushing his hands down Jae's back, he reached the waistband of his jeans and played around by playing a small tug of war, endlessly teasing the dhampir under him. “Did you know oxygenated blood makes it more potent” he winked, the mischief underlying his hues clearly sending him a message.

Jae didn’t have an off switch when it came to Hanseol and the fallen star knew that, he knew exactly how to get what he wanted out of Jae if he really wanted to and the dhampir both loved and hated that. Jae found it so hard to stay mad at Han, even when he knew he was hiding things or telling really bad lies Jae always seemed to find a way to forgive him. Maybe that was a mistake but he truly believed that Hanseol would tell him if something was really important, he was naive that way, wanting to expect the best from people in exchange for his best. That was only magnified with the celestial who Jae loved, with every piece of himself. He believed in Han more than the star probably believed in himself.

So as soon as they began to get lost in one another once again, Jae’s every piece of attention and focus became about Hanseol. Jae knew Hanseol and his body well enough by now to read the little signs on him like a lap. The blushing, for example, was always triggered by Han’s resistance to be selfish, it made him resort to his shy tendencies more often than now. But Jae knew a few kisses and letting the star take the reins for a while in the bedroom quickly faded that blush away. Han couldn’t fool his boyfriend anymore, he wasn’t as innocent as he made himself out to be at times “But I’ll appreciate it” Jae teased as he wet his bottom lip “You have the most beautiful face baby, why would you deny me it” he opted for a sultry and seductive tone to his voice as he spoke.

Jae wasn’t falling for the shyness but that didn’t mean the shy persona didn’t drive him wild, because it always did and the celestial knew that. Besides Jae wasn’t opposed to taking the lead in the bedroom, that was the beauty with the two of them, everything could be different in the blink of an eye depending on how they were feeling in the moment. Jae saw the confidence begin to come back to his star as he sat himself against his thighs though and the soft half smirk on Jae’s lips said all he needed to say about how he was feeling.

Jae felt the shiver that ran through Hanseol’s body as his teeth sank into his chest and Jae had to steady himself with his grip to prevent himself from making a mess, his grip tightening against the celestial’s skin because it was the only place he had to hold onto at this angle. But it was the jolt from below that really sent the dhampir’s head spinning and he barely felt like he could balance as he held onto the other male for dear life, taking in every bit of blood that he could without hurting the celestial. Everything was intense, like every nerve of his body was turned up to max sensitivity.

Every touch that the celestial made against Jae’s body was magnified, starting with the nails which dug into the side of his hip and caused Jae to gasp loudly in pleasure and then grit his teeth a little from the stinging feeling that followed. The kiss against his lips felt precise, he could feel every acute movement the star made against them as he moaned softly into his mouth, especially as he thought about the way Hanseol had completely disregarded the fact Jae was covered in the celestial’s blood. The way Han just accepted Jae for who he was didn’t shy away, it did more to him than the blood itself. Jae was so lost in every move the celestial made, the kisses which were rough and needy being met with as much passion in his own his tongue slipping into Hanseol’s mouth more and more often as the took in the last taste of the blood mixed with the sweet taste of his celestial that he’d come to know.

Jae’s eyes flickered open as he tugged the celestial down with him, his eyes watching the look in Hanseol’s eyes, he always felt so sexy when the star would look at him like that, like there was nothing in the world he wanted more. Jae arched his back a little as hand went up in Hanseol’s hair, he knew how much the star liked having his hair pulled and Jae loved the sound he made when the dhampir did so, along with words, Han loved hearing Jae say things during their time together “I’ve already been addicted to you long before now baby” he groaned out as he leaned up a little to tip the celestial’s balance a little so that Hanseol was now straddled over Jae’s lap as he sat up. When Han asked about Jae’s shirt Jae leaned down his lips pressing against Han’s neck “Because you haven’t taken it away from me yet” he whispered between kisses against Hanseol’s neck before he slid his tongue down the base of the celestial’s throat.

Jae hummed satisfied with Hanseol’s answer to his question, though the way Han leaned in close to his lips but never quite crossed the line had Jae hissing softly under his breath, his boyfriend was known for being a massive tease which caused Jae all kinds of troubles. The denial always got him riled up and Hanseol knew that they could both drive one another nuts by cutting off the affection until the other begged for it back. The blowing caused Jae to part his lips a little but he stifled the whiny sound that wanted to escape. But he couldn’t help himself as he felt the star toying with the waistband of his jeans and pulling the material in a way that made the dhampir crave more touches. The question caused Jae to open his eyes with shock though “I don’t like that tone of voice” he stated with a cocky smirk on his lips, though he shivered a little when he felt Hanseol tease at his jeans again.

“You are the biggest tease in the world, you know that” he snarled as his lips drew close to the celestial’s ear and he nipped gently at the flesh before sucking the earring Han was wearing into his mouth and teasing at it with his tongue, Jae wasn’t the kind to sit and do nothing at this general lack of disrespect, while he did so he pushed forwards a little his hands skimming over the lower half of Hanseol’s torso and then hovering over the button of the star’s jeans which he undid with rougher movements than he needed to, because he could.

Generally, he's always been a bad liar- no, he's a terrible liar, quite possibly the worst one might encounter, honestly. The celestial had no knowledge whatsoever on the art of deceiving nor lying, which should give him a small amount of assurance that he's not going to turn a whole 180 one day. He likes the way he is, shy and timid, but also headstrong and passionate, which sometimes made him out to be very stubborn. Unfortunately, if they didn't know who he was, Hanseol couldn't also come across as someone cold and closed off due to his unparalleled blank face that usually seemed a lot more serious at times. So he didn't color himself surprised when Jae found out about the lies he's been running about, but one thing came clear out of it; Jae proved himself to be highly considerate and understanding, he didn't pry when Han told him to drop it.

He respected the fallen star, and Hanseol couldn't find any other words to describe just how proud he is of the person he was blessed with, in this life. Maybe I did something good in my past life, he thought. Whatever it was, it couldn't have possibly been a lot more worse than the life he endured and went through for most part of his life. The talk they had, or whatever the earlier session was called, ended as fast as it started. Now, his head is clogged up with pent up desires overwhelming his every action, fueling his endorphins to act out recklessly without so much of a filter. Quite frankly, the celestial didn't think it would up like this, but in no way was he complaining on the outcome, especially when the best company they offered one another is when they opened themselves to each other.

This is exactly what they're doing. In a way. 3 months could pass and perhaps they've done a few unworldly deeds, but the blush will never be scraped off him. It's another thing that he's pretty sure was engineered in himself. He doesn't blush easily, but with the dhampir around, he always seemed to be wearing that a lot, and he knew it means something. What happened to not staring? It went away as soon as his eyes fell on the male's bottom lip. “Of course you'd appreciate me being embarrassed” he scoffed, placing one hand over his hip as he shook his head. Being complimented has always been an adrenaline snack for the fallen star, once you feed him those, there was no stopping him from acting cocky and confident. Apparently, Jae knee exactly how to apply them in certain circumstances, much to his amusement. That seductive tone he wore got him closing his eyes briefly and clench his jaw.

The saccharine baritone voice of his that travels deeper than the sea levels got him feeling things. Don't judge a book by its cover, people say. And Han agreed with that wholesomely, indeed. Jae knee exactly what he was doing, pairing a supposed to be endearing nickname with such comment and timber? There was no way in hell he didn't understand what he's doing. “Careful now, babe. You're playing around uncharted territory” he grumbled, stifling a groan from escaping the reins of his mouth. Control, Han. Control. Fuck control.

The next thing he knew, he's already had the dhampir flipped and now he's hovering above the brunette. Earlier, they had been testing the waters, with Jae biting Han in order to heal him better from the minor injuries he sustained, and now to a full on making out session with the celestial constantly pushing himself on the latter. The dark haired star made sure to pay attention attentively to the half-valkyr while he was feeding from him, only a few seconds worth because he spent most of them closing his eyes as he tried to neutralize the pain that travels with it. Thankfully, it didn't last long. Either it's the side effects from a healing dhampir bite or he's just over his head to find everything pleasurable. And god did he like it when he saw how hazed Jae was shortly after taking his blood. Perhaps he's being crazy, but he's secretly for that incident to be more than a one time thing. Their bedroom activities were considerably.. Questionable, sometimes.

Both of them kept trying to dominate the other in the kiss, and unsurprisingly, both gives in Intervally. There was no doubt that Hanseol likes to be more on the receiving end. Lapping his tongue that swirled around Jae's lips that used to have his blood on it, he tugged the bottom lip painfully slow as he broke the kiss, staring down at the dhampir with glazed hues. Somehow, his doe-like optics that usually resembled a shining glittery galaxy looked a shade darker, matching the night setting. Han was a lot more invested on the fact that he could taste just how sweet Jae was, reminding him all those nights they spent together, where not one thing had changed. So much that he wasn't bothered by the fact that he's tasting his own blood. There's a lot more weirder stuff to go around than that, anyways.

They were a vocal couple, driven and fueled by the sounds emitted from one another. Expressions would've been a bonus pointer just as well, from both facial and body. The hair tugging was nothing unexpected yet expected at the same time, knowing how much his dhampir knew how his body would react. Had he been addicted to the dhampir too? Mhm. The moment Jae latched himself on his neck was when he released a louder moan after he was caught by surprise by him. The way the half-valkyr is playing coy and positioning his own questions back to himself had him sniggering. His breathing quickened as a guttural growl escaped him when he dipped himself into the nook of Jae's neck, before slowly trailing down until he reached his lower waist. “I guess I should take it off you since you so kindly took mine.” Pushing his hands underneath his shirt, slowly taking his time by wandering them around, the top was finally off after a few seconds. Teasing and turning them into a hectic mess? That's always a check every time. Consider it, a prerequisite.

Much like Jae, the celestial knew what would send him off, which is why he's playing around the waistband of his dhampir's pants. “I don't like that tone of voice,” he mimicked, clearly trying to rile him up to a certain point. Nodding in agreement as he hummed against his skin when the brunette dhampir decided to nip his ear, he kissed it softly and leaned his head. Hanseol noted how Jae always liked to play around with his earring, no doubt it did play a role for most part too. “I only give back what I get. Giving back to the community, that's what they say right?” he purred, smirking at the tantalizing sight of the male before him. A low rumble sound of denial was evoked from the celestial who placed a hand on him to restrict the other male from going with what he's doing. “So impatient..” he chided but chuckled nonetheless and got himself out of the material either way. Allowing his hands to travel down to the brunette's waist, he tugged on the belt and brought it closer, pouting slightly. “I actually hate this pants, you know that, right?” Admittedly, he did. It constricted him from actually undoing it as easy as he should be able to. A repressed star, he is. But he got to work and took it off eventually.

All that whining needed to be put to good use, afterall. “I need you to help me forget all the bad stuff tonight. Would you please? Don't worry about everything else, you'll just bite me better, won't you?” he whispered coolly against his ear, tilting his chin upwards and gave a wry smile, pressing his lips against Jae's own before parting away to look him in the eyes. “On a second thought.. Let me help you forget.” And just like that, all thoughts of being gentle went out the window. All he remembered was pinning both the dhampir's hands against the sheets and the room was filled with both their uneven breathing and.. other sounds.

And forget about it they did. After getting lost in other another Jae changed back into his boxers and shirt before climbing into his side of the bed, picking up his phone and cancelling every alarm he had set and setting it on the bedside table before pulling the covers up over them both and then sinking down against the celestial’s lips to kiss him goodnight, the kiss lingering and saying everything he was too tired to say out loud. Just like he promised to he curled himself up against the celestial their bodies always fit so well together and with his arms encased around the celestial’s body his head rested perfectly against the nook of his neck.

Jae laid awake there for a least an hour, holding the celestial tight in his embrace and listening to the sound of Hanseol’s breathing, he knew the moment the celestial went to sleep because his breathing became smoother and more regular, like the things that rushed around his head finally faded away for a little while. Jae had his eyes closed but he wasn’t trying to sleep, he was just taking in everything he felt in that moment. It was his birthday and part of him was expecting to feel a little lost or lonely on it but instead, he felt more loved than he had on any other birthday in the past.

Truth be told he wasn’t sure he’d really known what it felt like to truly be close with someone until Hanseol, he’d had friends and he was close with his siblings, but no one ever made him crave this level of personal, in-depth relationship before, someone he wanted to know everything about, someone he wanted to shout out on the rooftops that he loved so much that he didn’t even know how to breathe when he thought about it too much. Someone who he trusted with his heart despite the fact that sometimes Hanseol screwed up because Jae truly did believe in him.

And all he ever wanted to do was protect him, make him feel like he was safe and cared for and to let him shut out the world for a little while. The dhampir wasn’t stupid enough to think he could fight every demon for the celestial but if he could then he would, because the moments when Hanseol would light up with a smile or tell Jae he was proud of him, those were the moments when Jae felt like his truest self, those were the moments where he felt like he could do anything and he loved that feeling. He loved that someone could boost him up that might. He just loved Hanseol to the moon and back.

The dhampir chuckled softly at the irony of that statement as he shifted a little, flattening his palm slightly over the celestial’s chest where he could feel his heartbeat as it thrummed in his chest. Jae counted the beats with his eyes closed glad to know the star was sleeping peacefully and the nightmares hadn’t resurfaced in the last hour he had been asleep, Jae wasn’t sure how he would cope with a repeat of what he saw earlier. It had made his heart hurt seeing Han in pain like that and not being able to do a thing to make it better for him.

The feeling of the beats against his fingertips was the last thing on Jae’s mind before he finally gave in to the tiredness that was overwhelming his body melting into the celestial’s as the darkness took over. This time the colors were spirals of blue and red which interlinked and flowed around one another making patterns which felt both intricate and simple at the same time. The image was beautiful and occupied the dhampir’s brain for a fair while, finally getting some much-needed rest which he hadn’t really been getting lately, always waking up and never being able to get himself back to sleep.

Hours passed and Jae kept Hanseol held close against his chest, snuggling him slightly in his sleep until the light started to creep in through the window. The first thing he felt was the warmth of the sunlight against his face, willing him to open his eyes but he refused to move because he could feel Hanseol there, still tucked away in his arms and Jae just wanted to relish in the moment a little more. Wanted to remember the moment he woke up to his star for the very first time. It felt kinda poetic that it ended up being on his birthday. He sighed contentedly as he finally gave in to the sunlight’s will and rolled over onto his back, accidentally stirring Hanseol as he did so.

A quick glance at the clock told him it was 9am which meant they’d slept for a fair few hours and he had already missed the first hour of his class. As he turned his head back towards the star, whose hair was all tousled and was looking like he was tempted to bury himself back under the covers and go back to sleep again Jae decided it was worth having to borrow someone’s notes one time. “Good morning baby” he spoke softly with a smile, it made him chuckle because it was what Jae texted Hanseol every morning ready for when he woke up but he’d never said it in person before. He couldn’t even think of a reason why now as he shuffled closer to Han.

He couldn't remember the last time he's had such a good and contented sleep. Today was one of those days, where he was graced with such luck. The rarity capturing the idea of it never left his head. Due to the lack of nightmares he received in his few hours of sleep that really rejuvenated the celestial, he wasn't able to dream the good stuff but he wasn't complaining, seeing as a good night's sleep is what he needed, desperately. There's no need for any dreams to accompany him, he only ever wanted decent sleeping schedule and whilst he could not gain that, a few hours worth of sleep in his boyfriend's embrace made up for it.

Waking up next to Jae, he never thought his wish would come true so soon and quick. Hanseol wanted to know what it feels like to wake up next to your loved one, the one who would grace your life with positive influences, the one he would always look forward to seeing, every single day. And now here he was, lying next to the dhampir who skipped his class today just to stay in with him. Because he needed him. If that doesn't make his heart melt, he didn't know what would. Granted that Hanseol possesed quite the soft heart, who couldn't even bear watching animals being hurt, as far as them hurting their own paws because they tripped or something. Their arms were wrapped around one another, but more so with Jae wrapping his long slender fingers around his arms and shoulders, successfully caging the star in his hold – a hold he never ever wanted to let go of. If it was possible, his petty side wanted to bask more in this. It felt so nice and warm.

Han fluttered his eyes closed briefly to recall last night's events, focusing more on what happened after his nightmares took place. It was a satisfying night, perhaps the best and dare he say it was near to topping their first night together on Valentine's Day, approximately 3 months ago on this exact date. Speaking of, he was reminded it was Jae's birthday and how he's prepared everything downstairs. Last night wasn't vague or hazy thankfully, as the celestial could remember every moment and every touch Jae did. Of course, the highlight of that night was Jae biting him and Han finding a new-found kink he never thought he'd acquire, which was a biting kink. Oh well. He's a bit biased when it comes to it, anyways.

Regardless of his head being a big blank box while he was sleeping, he did manage to remember their activities, how much of a mess they were with their bodies tangled up in the sheets, that honestly no doubt will need to be discarded. Again. Easily enough, Han didn't want to let go off him, his fingers wrapped around the dhampir securely with no means of letting go until he's actually forced to. Though the same didn't apply to the latter, who probably thought it was best to get out of bed now. The sudden movement stirred him awake and as he opened his eyes slowly, a yawn escaped him. Not long after that, the celestial did cover himself with another pillow, all his whines muffled against the soft cushion. “싫어..그냥 좀 더 침대에 누워 있자? (I don't want to.. Can't we just stay in bed a little while longer?)” he grumbled groggily, one hand covering the light from incapacitating the star as he rubbed his eyes sleepily.

The tired tone was heavily accentuated with his Busan accent, bringing out a slightly drawled and mature manly version, which was rare considering Hanseol tends to have a higher pitched mellow voice. All Jae ever said was good morning and yet he's already giving such a response. Watching the dhampir shuffle closer to him, the fallen star wrapped his hands around him as he pulled him down, leaving only a few centimeters left of space between them. “But I guess.. It is a good morning.. I get to wake next to you.. A really good morning.” He had a stupid bunny like grin masking his lips until he peeked at the other male who's clothed decently. “Wait, when did you get dressed..” he enquired, his hands unconsciously tapping on himself as he noticed he's literally bare under the sheets covering him, which evoked a faint blush to rest itself on his cheeks once the realization sets in. So early in the morning too.

Jae wasn’t really a morning person, he functioned better at night and that’s why early morning classes always bugged him so much, but there was one thing that always got to him, once he was awake, he was awake, it could be three in the morning or ten, he wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep. This was the first time he’d slept in fully though, instead of getting up and then napping the lost hours away later in the day or over his lunch break. And honestly, it felt really nice to be able to do something so normal and domestic, he didn’t want to move from the tangled embrace the two of them had, the covers all topsy turvy from how much they had moved in the night.

But it seemed the celestial was even less of a morning person that he was, because the moment he stirred because Jae knocked him accidentally when rolling over, he started whining and blocking out the natural light from the window. When Han complained in Korean the dhampir laughed pressing his head back into the pillow amused at the celestial’s groggy tone “Those pillows aren’t going to save you from time” he teased as he nudged his elbow against the celelstial’s chest “Besides you know I can’t get back to sleep once I’m awake” that was the whole problem he had, after all, the reason he never really stayed the whole night. But he knew after learning what he did last night that changed from today, Jae would find a way to keep himself in bed just so he could be there for Han whenever he had a nightmare.

Jae did like hearing Han’s voice when he fell back into his natural satoori though, it reminded him of home, the good parts of home mostly and it made him sound more manly and husky. Jae loved that Han’s natural reaction to the dhampir coming closer was to wrap around him and draw him in further. The younger male gave a husky chuckle as he leaned his head forward, pressing his forehead against the celestial’s Hanseol spoke “A well overdue good morning” he spoke softly his eyes flicking down to the bright grin on Han’s face as Jae slid his arm under the other male. Jae couldn’t help but laugh when Han realized that Jae had gotten changed “When I went and turned off every single one of my alarms for you” he teased gently his head dipping to press soft kisses against Han’s neck before he closed his eyes and just stayed snuggled there for a moment.

“You passed out pretty immediately and I couldn’t bring myself to wake you up after the night you’d had” he explained as he murmured against the celestial’s skin enjoying the warmth coming from the two of their bodies being pressed up against one another “Besides I’m not one to complain about the view” he teased softly though the words lacked their usual teasing edge because he was too busy enjoying the chance to snuggle up against the celestial, especially because awake Hanseol wasn’t as restless as asleep Hanseol could sometimes be.

“I guess this will be the first time I get to shower in a place without having to wait an hour for some other guy to get out” he teased, most mornings he had to literally bang on the door loudly for them to finally finish up and let him have his turn which had made him late for a few classes, the story of bad roommates went on and on but Han didn’t just have one bathroom he had two and Jae admitted he’d drooled a little over the fancy showers he had in this house. Jae wasn’t an extravagant person, but he did appreciate nice things and while Han didn’t brag about them, he did have very nice things. Leaning back he met the star’s eyes for a moment, enjoying this being the face he got to wake up to, honestly it was worth so much “Should I be afraid of what you have planned for today” he asked with an amused expression, reaching up his hand to rest against the celestial’s cheek, just staring deep into those dark hues.

Much like his other half, Hanseol wasn't a morning person himself too despite having most of his timed schedules around 8 or sometimes even 7. His clinic's working hours started at 9, but he would open them early to prep everything so nothing will hinder his progressive state on that day, which meant an hour or two early. Nowadays, he didn't stay around his clinic here in Evermore, since most of his schedule are filled with trips back and forth to Denver to officialize the opening of their next project together in collaboration with another company. So waking up early is a routine for him, though it didn't mean it was easy for him since he's always sleep deprived and going to work with that state is just painful, knowing he would need a decent cup of coffee before starting his day if he didn't want to fall asleep halfway while skimming the documents.

At least he's not driving, god knows what would happen then. Yes, he's immortal, but definitely not expendable to the point where he can risk a car accident and spend a few nights in the ICU or delay his plans in that matter. Hanseol is a busy guy, one who still manage to spare time to spend every precious second with his boyfriend, the very guy he's staring at right now. The celestial had always found Jae to be very handsome and attractive but now that he could see the morning light shine on his face, bringing out the youthful air around him, it only reminded him further of how much he's missed him. That's probably why he's taking today off. One, it's Jae's birthday, which meant an huge no for him to skip. Two, he's really tired and needed rest for 24 hours tops. Three, he missed Jae. This week has been back and forth to Denver at least three times already, and every time he went back home, he would sometimes fall face first as he dive into the pillows, only to be woken up at night due to his night terrors again.

Quirking his eyebrow at the brunette, he scoffed lightly and pushed the pillow aside so it would not shield him away from the male. “I'm supposed to be able to control time, unfortunately not well enough to make it work in my favor to sleep a lot longer.” The grumble emitted from him sounded so grumpy but not grumpy at the same time, it's indescribable. A unique tone only Jae could make out. Feeling the nudge from him, he feigned hurt as one hand trailed up to his chest, closing his eyes before peeking one eye out. “You wound me greatly, sir,” Adjusting his position to be more comfortable than he was initially, he patted the spot next to him. “come when join me then. I'll help you sleep.” Surprising there was no suggestive tone to it, just one laced with genuine concern. He knew he wasn't the only one struggling with sleeping, and Jae's already sacrificed enough last night, it's his turn to give back, though with the plans he had in mind today, it might go on smoothly than he originally thought. Mostly due to Jae being here in his home instead of sleeping in his bed at the dorm. Very convenient indeed for Hanseol.

“A good morning nonetheless. Waking next to you would be a good morning for me any day.” The giggles that escaped him sounded soft, resembling the bunny that's sleeping in the next room peacefully. He really is Hanseol Sr to the bunny. Hearing that the other male turned off his alarms just for him got him feeling giddy, the butterflies spreading as it went wild inside him. Scrunching up his nose cutely, the lopsided grin displayed itself clearly as the day. Han is such a sicker for compliments, and Jae knows it. It's the easiest and hardest way to get him going, the latter only being an option if you are lying because despite being a terrible liar, the celestial is good at detecting genuinity. “You're making me swell in happiness. I'm be bloating before the sun rises up at its peak this way” he grumbled, covering his face with one free hand, the shyness kicking out of him.

Has he mentioned that his dhampir is very considerate? No? Yes? Well this is him reiterating it again endlessly. No wonder the fallen star felt so blessed. “My considerate baby..” he slurred.  “I really miss you,” he mumbled, his morning voice making an appearance for the first time for the dhampir to witness since it was his first time staying over until morning. “so much.” The hold around the brunette's body tightened slightly and he allowed a comfortable and relieved sigh when he felt Jae's face nuzzling into the nook of his neck, pecking his neck just the way the dhampir knew got him riling on crazy. “Just so you know, between you and me, all you ever need to do is ask, babe. I'll prance around half naked if you want. Only for your eyes, of course” he winked playfully, pressing his lips against his forehead, and then placing a chaste kiss directly on the lips. The celestial is a weirdly intimate guy, and he didn't even know until recently.

His eyes glanced over to the ensuite bathroom not far from where his bed is located at. He had one more downstairs around the hallway, and one here. Admittedly the one for him is private and a tad more comfortable, since who doesn't want the best for themselves, no? “All the more reasons to move in, you get to spend hours by your own inside” he teased, pointing his index finger towards the direction of the bathroom door. “I can draw you a bath if you want, though I'm not sure if you're a jacuzzi bathtub guy or shower guy. Both are there, so take your time. You know where to find spare clothes in my closet.” It wouldn't be the first time he's given Jae something else to wear even though there's literally a drawer filled with the dhampir's clothes only. Hanseol likes seeing him around in his clothes, it brings a heartwarming feeling to the celestial.

Bringing one hand up to place it on top of Jae's own, he grinned softly. “I have been planning for this day for a month, guiltily so. Since you're here, I can start by really serving you breakfast. Pretty sure I can get it done while you shower, and you know I'm not taking no for an answer, so, hop hop.” He got up and pulled him up with him. “You can take mine, I'll use the one downstairs,” Getting up from the bed with the blanket still wrapped around his waist, he stretched out his limbs tiredly. “or I can join in, up to you.” Of course he doesn't miss to jump into an opportunity.

Jae couldn’t even remember each of his birthdays before this, they were all very similar to him, his family would normally spend it together, there were no parties or major celebrations, just the 6 of them at home, they would have the same meal every time and spend the evening watching a movie of choice, it was a simple tradition and one he remembered for pretty much every birthday he’d ever had. It felt refreshing to know just how different this one would be, from who he spent it with, what he would do and the importance put behind it. But it also made him miss home and his family a lot, he made a mental note in his head that he should at least call Sangeun later. Right now he was busy staring into the star’s eyes, wondering how he got so lucky to wake up to someone like him, even sleepy and with his hair laying in every direction Hanseol looked absolutely breathtaking, maybe even more so because Jae knew this view was for him and him only.

Jae chuckled softly when Han mentioned being able to control time “If you could make sleep last longer then I’d call that an actual superpower” the dhampir gave a low chuckle, what he wouldn’t give for more hours in the day so he would have more time to spend with his boyfriend while still getting his education and a decent amount of sleep but it felt like one of them always needed to be sacrificed and usually it was sleep on the chopping block. Seeing the grumpy look on Han’s face made Jae smile, he had the funniest sulking face because he managed to look cute doing it. Jae rolled his eyes as he scooted into the spot Han pointed out and poked a finger against his chest “You are a bad influence you know that” he probably could laze the day away with the celestial and be happy about it though “First you convince me to skip and now you want me to stay in bed all day” he shook his head with an amused smile on his lips.

Jae loved the way Han could say such cheesy things with complete honesty and sincerity, any normal person would probably cringe at themselves for saying something like that but now his star. The giggle made Jae part his lips though, he loved that sound, it was rare but it was a really beautiful sound that made him let out a contented sigh, he could just listen to Hanseol and be happy, it was crazy. And seeing the excitement and pure glee on Hanseol’s face just made Jae feel happier too, he wanted to kiss him but he also didn’t want to ruin the view he currently had of the star so he simply leaned his hand against his face as he watched him “I’m just glad to be the reason you’re smiling” he admitted before the star got himself shy again and Jae laughed softly into his pillow “I think we talked about you hiding your face already baby” he cooed softly towards Han.

It didn’t escape his notice that the celestial was acting especially needy and a little whiny today, not that he minded since he liked cuddling, especially when Hanseol was awake so he didn’t move around as much as he did in his sleep “You miss me while I’m laying in your bed?” Jae asked as he pulled himself in closer to Hanseol his head tucking perfectly into that spot against his neck, the dhampir knew how much Han enjoyed kissing against his neck which is why he took the opportunity to do it often, even when they were just playfully kissing and snuggling with one another. The teasing Han spoke about asking made Jae sink his teeth into his bottom lip “I mean if you are happy to want to lose your shirt every so often I wouldn’t complain” considering how perfect the celestial’s chest was, Jae would often find himself staring, occasionally drooling. Jae hummed at the soft kiss to his forehead and tilted his head upwards to meet the gentle peck on his lips which he smiled against “You’re sweet when you want to be” he commented quietly as his eyes searched for the star’s.

Jae laughed when the celestial brought up the topic of moving in, it wasn’t a normal day if Hanseol didn’t bring that up in some shape or form “We’re not even an hour into being awake and you a found a way to slip that into conversation” Jae smiled but pressed his lips together, he knew he needed to come clean to his parents sooner or later “You know I want to” he admitted as he looked up to Hanseol “I really want to” he drew out with a smile on his face “But I want to do it the right way” which was his way of saying he didn’t want to lie about what they were. Hearing the offer of a bath Jae’s lips twitched into a smile “I’m not fussy, either is good for me, but I really want to try out that fancy shower you have” Jae chuckled softly, he didn’t get luxury in his dorm so the little things were important.

Jae knew that Hanseol liked it when he wore his clothes so he made a mental note to have a look through them afterward. As he stared into Hanseol’s eyes he couldn’t even be mad about the fact the star has overplanned the day once again “You’re lucky I love you too much to get mad at you for this” Jae teased as he pressed a soft kiss to his lips and then let him pull him up out of bed. Jae groaned realizing he was pretty sore from last night and he glanced down to spot a few bruises on his arms which reminded him of their late night antics “As much as I would like that, I don’t want to get in the way of your planning” he teased softly as he grabbed Hanseol’s hand and pressed a soft kiss against it before he let him go and headed into the bathroom.

He undressed before climbing into the shower and turning a few of the dials before completely soaking himself with cold water which caused him to let out a slightly surprised shriek, okay probably not the best start but with a few more tweaks he finally figured out what the different controls did and got the water warm. He closed his eyes as the water fell over his body and he ran his hands through his hair letting the strands run through his fingertips as he did so. He grabbed the shower gel off the side humming a tune to himself as he did so. As he started to wash the humming turned into soft singing to himself which slowly got louder and louder as he got into the tune in his head his deep voice echoing off the walls and not sounding too bad to him. He washed his hair with shampoo and then with conditioner because he was still trying to recover the dryness that came from dying it all crazy colors, he really got into his little performance, even doing air guitar and drums at the right moments before he hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his lower half.

Unlike his other half, the celestial had never known the taste of a birthday. Not really. He didn't know when he was actually born so he went with the decision to take the date when he crashed in Busan close to 90 years ago; June 1st, which ironically had the zodiac Gemini, the constellation he is. Han always found it ironic that zodiacs and such things existed back then and still went on until today, but it does pique his interest to read about them. Especially about his own, and Jae's no doubt. He's a simple guy, he sees it, he likes it, he takes it. He's never celebrated his birthday because there was no one else to celebrate it with him, neither did he really understood the hype of birthdays in general. Until this year, of course. The very year he started his relationship with his dhampir approximately 3 months ago.

He also knew this year would be the first where Jae's would spend it abroad and away from home and family, which could be uncomfortable for someone who's only been here for a couple of months in a foreign country, alone. But fret not, as the celestial planned everything a month ago once he knew the brunette's birth date. Knowing exactly how Jae perceived grand stuff and the likes, he was careful not to go overboard with it, just a little tippy off to show his efforts to curve a smile on the beautiful being he called his. Jae grew around family, he had people to look up to and be with, which is the opposite for Han who's been alone all his life and eventually grew used to it. It doesn't mean he didn't appreciate the affection and care he was shown, especially by his own boyfriend who always made it seem extra worthy.

Every moment spent with him was worthwhile and the celestial loved every single bit of it. He's going to make up to him today, since Jae always put up with him despite knowing how difficult and complicated the fallen star can make himself out to be, sometimes. It's surprising to see he hasn't given up on him yet but with a heart as big as the other male, the celestial wasn't exactly surprised. Groaning at the thought of having an actual ability to make them sleep longer, he huffed and blew the stray strands of his dark locks that was covering a small bit of his vision, before gazing on the male next to him that still laid in his embrace comfortably. “That'd be so cool.” God knows how much the two of these needed their beauty sleep and must deserved rest. Hanseol grabbed a hold of his hand, the one that was poking his chest earlier, and gave him a playful look. “Careful, dhampy. I can make you stay in bed with me all day if I put my mind to it. Don't tempt me, it's really riding up to me right now. But alas, we're still humans.. Well you're half human and I have the anatomy of one-ish.. So we need food,” he moved up and nudged the dhampir teasingly. “which means I need to cook.” He's not complaining, the couple lived a very domesticated life and there were plenty of times when the star took the reins to be the one working inside the kitchen.

Seeing the smile lit up the dhampir's face whenever he enjoyed the meal always got him giddy. Hanseol did live on praises, afterall. Receiving them from the most important guy in his life only meant a booster for him. “You're always my reason to smile, Jae” he hummed softly, one hand caressing his face tenderly, with a look in his eyes that could be mistaken for love, which in reality is the truth. “I'm always a tomato around you and while I'm confident in showing myself being red in front of you, doesn't mean I like to. I'll end up looking like a plump tomato.” The pout resting on his lips made him look a lot more youthful than he was initially, though then again, Hanseol was supposed to occupy the vessel of someone who looked 18 years old by the very least. He didn't feel tired as he usually was, which was thanks to Jae holding him while he slept peacefully without any worries. So there was nothing marring his face no more. Other than a smile and happy expression.

“I miss you always, that's nothing new.” The way Hanseol would think about the male every day and every minute, it was unnerving. “Shirt..hm.  When I said I'll parade in any way you want, that's true. Because at the end of the day, I'm yours, anyways. Besides… I doubt you didn't like the view” he murmured, nuzzling against his cheek briefly before telling forcing himself to get up. Ugh, he really wants to stay in a while longer but the plans he was supposed to carry out calls for him and unfortunately for the celestial, he doesn't break them easily. Following the comment about him being sweet, his eyes curved itself into a crescent like shape and his teeth flashed like that of a bunny. “Only possible because I want to be sweet to someone.” The celestial knew the topic of moving in will never go away till Jae finally moves in, but he's patient. Ish. He'll wait however long the dhampir wants him to wait. It's no big deal, he just didn't like seeing Jae go back and forth tiredly with such a schedule packing his days. “Take your time, darl.” He means it. If Jae didn't come by, most of the things would remain untouched, hell even the clothes stacked up in his closet didn't really move unless he wore to impress the latter on a date.

Which is precisely why he said the place is as good as Jae's own already. A snigger escaped him when he noticed the dhampir groaning once they were getting up, looks like he wasn't the only one who's sore. “Would you look at that, somebody's a little sore.” The coy smirk masking him would never go past him now. He really does like seeing all those bruises on Jae, the ones he inflicted of course. Only those. “Another time then.” He gave a playful wink before making his way out, not bothering to bring any clothes with him because he'll come back up either way. Halfway down the stairs, he heard a soft shriek from Jae and only chuckled in response. Such a reckless guy, his reckless guy.

The shower didn't take long since he was able to dry his hair quickly using the hairdryer on the shelf. Staring into his reflection inside the mirror, Hanseol brought one hand up to wipe the water vapor sticking on it. A towel was wrapped around his waist and after finishing his drying routine, the celestial went back upstairs. He arrived slightly earlier before Jae came out and overheard the dhampir singing and humming from within the bathroom. It erupted a smile from him as he searched for a few something in his closet, something decent and casual enough. Quickly changing into them, Hanseol ran his hand over his hair before hopping downstairs to get started on the said breakfast. It was a simple English breakfast, a substantial meal consisting of bacon, sausages, eggs, and even a few french toasts alongside baked beans. While waiting for the coffee to be fully brewed, the fallen star leaned against the kitchen counter and tried to recall where he put Jae's gift.

Jae had never really been a self-centered person, he cared about what others wanted or asked of him than he did what he wanted for himself most of the time, his happiest moments were typically tied to someone else being happy too. He supposed that’s why he always agreed to do the same thing without fail on his birthday and never really complained, it made his family happy and in turn that made him happy. He was beginning to question that part of himself though, wondering how long he could go through life never really doing things because they were the thing he wanted and the longer he stayed in Evermore the more that feeling grew. Jae wanted more for himself, more than the stereotypical job with the simple friends and the trophy wife. He wanted so much more.

It made him wonder often what it was that Hanseol was looking for, the star was always quiet when it came to the things he might want for himself, he knew that was because Han always put others first, he was probably worse than Jae that way and if the star had been raised in Korea he likely would have remained conservative for his whole life. In that way, Jae supposed he was lucky because if Hanseol had followed that path then they never would have met and Jae would probably have married some girl in Korea. How strange how one person could have such an impact on another’s life, he thought, glancing at the celestial and adding ‘for the better’ in his mind.

Sure they weren’t perfect, as evidenced by their current discussion on sleep, neither of them had enough of it and it seemed when they did get some, it was short lived and in Hanseol’s case, plagued with nightmares and struggles. Jae hated knowing that but at the same time he was relieved to know that Han was finally letting him in a little, it was all he had been asking for, for a long time now. Feeling Han grab his hand Jae smiled, he did love their little hand touches, it had kinda because a little game between them both, they both loved holding hands and Han would always press gentle kisses on Jae’s hand to get across his sincerity. The playful joking was nice “You really think I’d complain about staying in here with you and never leaving?” Jae teased with a smile, that didn’t make Han any better an influence though. He gave a dramatic sigh “But you’re right, I also do love food and you’re the only one who can cook out of the two of us” Han was a really great cook too and Jae really enjoyed eating the food he made.

And Jae made sure to remind him of that every time he got to taste it, he liked to remind Hanseol every day how much he appreciated him taking care of him, he never wanted to lose that, never wanted to feel so normalized with this that he forgot to remind Han just how important what he did was. There was a stupidly wide grin on his face when the celestial said he was his reason to smile, Jae loved hearing that, it filled him with warm thoughts that flowed through his veins, he leaned into Han’s touch against his cheek “You could never look like that to me” Jae admitted, he’d seen Hanseol crying now and even then he still looked utterly breathtaking to the dhampir. Jae reached up and touch against Han’s lips with his forefinger “No fair, you know what your pouting does to me” he teased as he pulled his hand away.

There was something about being ‘missed always’ that was sweet, kinda like how whenever the two of them were apart something would always bring his mind back to the star, whether it be walking past the flower shop on the way to class and seeing hydrangeas in the window or someone saying something to him that hit him with deja vu of something the star had said to him “I always enjoy the view, who wouldn’t” he spoke as he gestured to Han’s still bare torso “Like I said the first night, you could be a model” though part of him selfishly wouldn’t want anyone to see his boyfriend’s body like that. At the reappearance of Han’s bunny smile the dhampir felt his breath leave him for a moment as he looked up at him “Well then I am honored to be your guy” he teased with a smile, he liked it when they referred to one another as theirs, it felt intimate and made him feel close to the star in a way he found hard to describe. No matter how much he knew the celestial wanted him to move past this stage of moving back and forth between here and the dorm, Hanseol never put pressure on Jae to rush and Jae appreciated that greatly, but he knew it was something he needed to do, sooner rather than later, before news got to his parents some other way and it blew up in the worst way.

Jae shot him a look with slightly narrowed eyes as the other male teased him about being sore and he picked up a pillow tossing it in his direction with an amused shake of his head “Yeah well I have a boyfriend who doesn’t pull his punches” Jae smirked back “Not that I complain” it made their first night together look awfully tame, to be honest, they really knew one another and the limits that came with all that now. Yet they were still figuring things out about one another with time too. When Han sauntered off Jae headed into the shower.

Once his shower was done he climbed out and headed back out into the bedroom, the room was pretty messy, the sheets tossed and turned from where the two of them had been rolling around so much, he wandered over and pulled the comforter flat against the bed in an attempt to make it semi-presentable before he headed into Hanseol’s closet and scanned his eyes over the clothes. Thankfully the two of them were the same size, though sometimes the shirts could look a little baggier on Jae’s more slender frame. He picked out a pair of black jeans and changed into them before he picked out a plain shirt and oversized sweater of Han’s and put it on. He didn’t take issue with wearing Hanseol’s clothes, in fact, he quite enjoyed it, especially because only the star would know the significance of his choices.

The smell of the food was strong in the air by the time he was changed and he felt his mouth watering at the idea of it, they didn’t exactly eat very well last night for so much activity after all. He chuckled to himself at the thought before he headed down the stairs and into the kitchen, leaning against the doorframe as he watched Hanseol finishing up the coffee. “Man I am the luckiest guy in the world” Jae mumbled under his breath softly as he came into the room and snuck up behind Han to hug him from behind, he nuzzled his nose into the celestial’s hair, which was dry because he always seemed to dry his hair with a dryer rather than let it dry naturally while Jae’s locks were still damp, really it was just an excuse to get the most of Hanseol’s scent because he always smelled amazing just after a shower.

Hanseol can never count the times where he felt so happy like he could well propel himself off the roof to cloud nine without any intrusion. Jae was perfect for him, perhaps not the perfect others would think, but definitely a full on scale for the celestial. He could balance him well with ease and he wondered if Jae understood how easy it was to bring him back to reality, though it could be slightly tampered with, sometimes. Either way, the dhampir always found a way to bring him back, and the way he accepted the broken shell of the person Hanseol is, made his heart flutter.

This would be the start of figuring out what's all these dreams meant, even though it's figments of his memories from the past, he knew it wasn't just that in general. It's been happening too frequently for the past month, almost 8 times out of 10. He's heard of the rumors going around the eternal city, how the attacks have been flying from each corner, successfully admitting a lot of patients inside the hospital. Somehow, a part of him was telling him that it wasn't safe to go around, especially not alone so he's endlessly grateful that he usually had Yeon accompanying him. “Who knows, I might be too possessive and clingy for you,” he nudged the male slightly, the glimmer of mischievousness running around his hues, making it seem a lot more lighter than usual. “but I'm sure that's why you love me, right?” This is another thing the fallen star will never truly get tired of using, love. Hanseol knows he loves Jae, and he wasn't afraid to showcase that feeling. It helps with his self-confidence and he would never miss showing how much he cherished the brunette dhampir in his bed today.

After tonight, things were much more clearer; Han knew he picked the right person, the one who completes him. Staring directly into the male's dark hues, a small smile crept its way up to his lips, subsequently bringing the side dimpled smile to the surface as his eyes only lit up. Jae always knew what to do, as always. The way his finger lingered around his lips made the celestial flutter his eyes closed in pleasure as he backed in this small form of affection shown by his other half. Nipping softly at his finger in response to the gesture earlier, a giggle escaped him. “No, actually, I don't know what my pout does to you. Though I might have an idea on what it does,” The smile soon turned into a smug smirk as he sniggered. “probably reminds you of these lips that's dying to kiss yours every minute of the day.” Oh, if Hanseol wasn't occupied with anything else in his planner, or if he wasn't a perfectionist who meticulously wanted to make sure everything is groomed well, he'd be more than likely to spend the rest of the day on that bed alone.

Praisal. Who doesn't like that, not him obviously who has a clear forefront on doting himself around compliments and the likes. Humming in delight, the smirk hung on his lips like it belonged there as one hand ruffled the dhampir's dark locks, one finger trailing down to bop his nose. “I'm only for you, I promise. And you are mine. No one else is gonna get this anywhere. Reserved eternally for Jaesung Moon. What is it that they say? In perpetuity? Yeah, that's it.” So many fancy words only he would hear from Jae, but it made him pretty proud considering he wasn't supposed to have a tight grip on literature or vocabulary aspects. The only other fancy words he knew was in those technical books.

Capturing the pillow squarely on the face, it evoked a shriek from him who squinted his eyes scrutinizingly at the dhampir playfully, his hand still gripping on the said pillow firmly on his lap. “Can I just say that it's just beginning?” A whisper emitted itself from the celestial who shrugged casually and placed the pillow aside. Before exiting the room, he made sure to slip up one more teasing that would no doubt cause the other to blush. “That there's a lot more from where that came from.” And just with that, he hopped out. Such a teaser he is, but it's all fair in game because Jae was the same.

The cooking didn't take long since everything else was stored at the perfect temperature, considering it's Hanseol, nothing is really surprising to see the way it was neatly tailored everywhere. The celestial usually would not tolerate any single mistake, though he is still open to the art of improvisation, given the proper and correct approach. While he was biting his bottom lip as he leaned against the counter, his mocha optics boring itself into the freshly brewed coffee beans that's being shredded moderately in front of him, Han was caught off guard when he felt someone embracing him from behind. Had it not been to him not holding anything at that moment, he probably would've dropped them. He caught a whiff of the scent, his shampoo and conditioner mixed with the half-valkyr's scent, and knew instantly it was him. Of course either was him, who would intrude so early in the morning? Right?

From crossing his arms, it shifted to hold on to the male's own and chuckled softly. “Someone's eager. Did you miss me so much that you couldn't spare 20 minutes?” he poked, the string of soft giggles filling the entire space of the kitchen. Turning around to face Jae while still holding on to him, the celestial placed a faint chaste kiss on his lips. “Can't believe you rock my clothes better than me.” In fact, Jae really did. The way the oversized top clung to his slender frame made him seem so comfortable. “Take a seat, jagi. I'll prepare the breakfast, and no before you say anything, it's all me today. So, go. Sit.” Hanseol didn't waste any time to spare Jae a moment of retaliation and pointed his index finger towards the dining table. “I'll be there in just a moment.” And he did. In less than 3 minutes, everything was placed on the table, the portion and plates itself organized neatly as usual. He took a seats in front of Jae and perched his arms on the glass table, staring towards the person across him with a loving look displayed on his face. So pretty.

That brief moment was soon interrupted when he heard the sounds of barking from a distance, more commonly identified respectively as Byul and Yeontan who came scurrying inside the area not long after. Yeontan plopped itself on the chair next to the dhampir which earned a playful scowl from the celestial who shook his head and was about to chastise the Pomeranian for interrupting the other male.

There was never any question for Jae when it came to Hanseol, there had never been a single moment that he'd looked down on the celestial for how he tried to manage and cope with the things he went through. Honestly, Jae thought he was a superhero just for still breathing because having seen what the star has to deal with for himself he didn't know how Han had managed to hold onto anything. And in just three months he had seen what getting to actually live had done for Han, he liked the person he saw him becoming.

Jae laughed softly when Hanseol called himself clingy, he'd hardly describe the star like that, a lot of the time it was Jae who had to drag him away from whatever currently fixated his attention, whether it be work or art. “I don't think you're all that clingy, you're cheesy but also very easy to distract” the dhampir chuckled before following it up as he glanced down at the bruises on his arms “Possessive, however” he mused with a suggestive quirk of his brow. He wasn't actually opposed to a little ‘you're mine’ behavior as long as it was in good spirit which is why he never made much of an effort to cover the bruises the celestial gave him. If Han wanted the world to know Jae was happily taken then the dhampir was more than happy to humor his request. When Han mentioned the word love Jae smiled “I think you have at least 20 letters by now detailing those” he chuckled “But if you need a reminder” he smirked softly but eased up the look as he watched Han, he really liked that word too but he also tried to keep it special.

Last night felt like a pretty significant step in their relationship, it wasn't a secret that Jae had been searching for how to deepen their relationship for a long while now, he loved Hanseol, he told him so, but he had always felt like he was only getting part of the story, now things started to make sense, the avoiding sleeping at all costs, the long hours where Han would say he just got himself caught up in something. When Jae touched Hanseol's lips with his finger he chuckled as he felt the slight nip against his skin and pulled his hand away “Don't play innocent with me” he teased as he leaned in a bit closer purposely challenging Hanseol when he mentioned thinking about kissing, God did he love kissing his star, their lips found one another's so often nowadays that Jae was pretty sure he knew Hanseol's almost as well as his own, especially the way they felt as they slid against one another and parted, he groaned a little and pulled away, defeated by his own thoughts, damn.

It hadn't escaped Jae's notice that Hanseol really liked to be complimented, praise brought out a side of him Jae really liked, Han often warned about his ego but honestly that only made the dhampir more attracted to him, confidence was sexy after all. And that confidence always brought out Hanseol's more commanding nature, as noted from the way he ran his hand like that through Jae's hair, Jae closed his eyes for a moment liking the feel of fingertips tangled in his hair and then scrunched up his nose when he felt a tap against it. When Han used words like eternally and always it always got him a little breathless, he didn't know how the celestial could talk about things like that so easily “That's a fancy word baby” he commenter with an amused smile, since they started dating Han would spring these words he learned on him “and a very long time to make any promises for” he clarified, he wanted them to always be this happy but Jae also knew the world wasn't often that kind, even to good people.

Jae laughed and made a little celebratory gesture as he watched the pillow land a direct hit and he collapsed down to hide from any retaliation he might get from the star. He went quiet from the pure suggestiveness accompanied by the smirk as Han talked again, Jae noted that the more he let Hanseol take control the more he seemed to run away with it, which in turn had the dhampir leaping to keep up with all the new developments, he sucked his bottom lip into his mouth and then bit down on it hard, Han knew exactly how to tease him just the right way, to get to him in a way he wasn’t sure anyone else ever good. The redness was evident on the dhampir’s cheeks as he walked away from him and Jae knew he’d have a smug smile on his face.

By now they had their agreed meals they both liked but breakfast was a new one for them, Jae was guilty of being a skip breakfast kinda guy most days though he didn’t dare admit that after Hanseol had gone to the effort to make it. Besides as soon as he smelled the food hunger shortly followed anyway and he wasn’t sure he was prepared for another ‘look after yourself’ speech. So he went for distraction as he came in and wrapped his arms around the celestial rocking them both from side to side a little from the momentum as he leaned into the star’s side and smelled the sandalwood scented shampoo he always seemed to wear, Jae had been addicted to that scent ever since he met Han.

He pulled a semi-offended face as Han poked fun at him, though he rested his chin against the star’s shoulder and nuzzled down against it a little as he cuddled him from behind “What can I say, I’m making the most of every moment I’m not spending in class” he mused softly squeezing Han a little tighter before he stepped back a little so Han could turn around in his arms and his fingers interlocked behind the celestial’s back “You rocking them would require you to actually wear them” he jested after returning the pecked kiss noting that the majority of Han’s clothes that weren’t black, didn’t get worn unless Jae took them out. His heart did a little backflip at the use of that nickname, he was about to protest that he could at least help with setting the table but before he could say anything Han insisted he sit down. So he did, with a pout. It didn’t last for long though because Han quite literally had everything planned and finished and so the food was placed in front of them before long.

But his attention wasn’t on the food, it was on Hanseol, who was currently gazing into his eyes and looking at him like he was the only person in the world and Jae was feeling all kinds of fluttering in his chest from a single look “That look scares me” he admitted though he didn’t break away, it scared him because he felt so in love with the celestial that he was sometimes feeling like he couldn’t breathe. There was an honest vulnerability to his tone that said he didn’t dislike it, just that it was intense and he’d never known intensity like that. The moment was rudely interrupted by the scurrying paws of their canine children. Jae sighed giving Yeontan the side eye in the chair next to him “No, you cannot have my food, not for dogs” he scolded as he picked up a fork and started eating.

He ignored the two scroungers throughout the meal instead focusing on Hanseol, between mouthfuls and sipped orange juice. He wanted to bring up the things they talked about last night, the nightmares, the lying, the hiding things but he couldn’t bring himself to ruin the moment so he just focused his eyes down on the plate “You know I was kinda dreading my first birthday away from home” he admitted before glancing up towards Hanseol “Thanks for taking those fears away” Jae smiled softly as he finished another mouthful and then continuing to finish it and then set his silverware down “Food is checked off the list, what’s next?” he asked curiously, though the dogs coming in did remind him this is normally when they got their morning walk.
