Summary: Sungho and Junhyung's relationship blossoms like a new flower when spring arrives. (Or alternatively, "spring alters the blood" and Sungho is in the mood for sex).

Warnings: explicit sexual content.

Notes: this story was written because I couldn't get one of the things I wrote for fragile out of my head. It can be read as a standalone, but if you want to know the context, read that one first.

Author's comment: both Rie and Junji have two modes: either buns or wild... so I wanted to exploit both modes in the fic. I hope you like it.

 

Sungho adored Junhyung. There was no doubt about it, it was like an open secret that he did and he didn't hide it. It was also common knowledge that Junhyung just acted like a normal person with him, only really talking to him and sometimes even approaching Sungho and seeking his touch. The older boy had always thought of the boy as a cat, a distrustful cat who just needed the right person to approach him and make him see that the world was not a hostile place and he could trust other humans. Taeyeob, his friend, and the one Junhyung was living with, had been very grateful that, little by little, the other had become a normal person, but Sungho didn't know why that deserved such thanks, Junhyung was just shy and had needed a little push to become less so, and he had just given him that push.

 

The two of them started seeing each other outside each other's flat at some undetermined time. They called each other from time to time, met up to go places together and little by little they had got to know each other more and more and a relationship based on infinite affection for each other had blossomed between them. It had taken them a while to confess their feelings, Sungho had done so, knowing full well that if he didn't force Junhyung a little in that sense, the younger boy would never step forward, and Junhyung had confessed that he also reciprocated his feelings. They hadn't made it public, their friends didn't know, and neither did Taeyeob, who was the only person they knew in common. He had never asked or questioned them about anything because he was much more focused on his own relationship, because he had met a guy he liked enough to try to make it serious and they had always been discreet enough not to raise suspicions about their relationship because they didn't like public displays of affection.

 

Little by little, slowly but surely, their relationship had grown in intensity. Their meetings were no longer just shared moments in Taeyeob and Junhyung's flat, but began to be dates in different places, going to the cinema, to coffee shops, simply strolling along the banks of the Han River, and sometimes even doing the occasional sporting activity, like the day they met in the early morning after Sungho got off work and played basketball on an empty court on their way home. They also started meeting at Sungho's flat, because there they could be quiet, there they could do whatever they wanted without having to explain themselves, and among the many times Junhyung had slept over with him, one of those nights, they slept together for the first time. And that first time for Junhyung was completely chaotic because as much as Sungho had been guiding him and the boy had been doing the best he could and knew how, in the end it hadn't turned out as well as it could have and Sungho had to sit on several cushions for days because it hurt.

 

After that, their relationship had stayed more or less the same... however, Junhyung had never wanted to sleep with him again. Sungho had never thought that basing a relationship on sex was the only thing that should keep them together, and in the first few months with Junhyung they hadn't slept together, so he hadn't even thought about it at first... but it had been three months since he and Junhyung had slept together. Three long months in which, even though Sungho had wanted to make new advances, Junhyung had flatly refused, saying "hyung, I don't want to hurt you again" every time he proposed. Three eternal months in which Sungho had almost been unable to hold back the desire to be with the younger boy in that way because after their first time together, he hadn't wanted to try it again. Three months in which he hadn't been able to talk to anyone about it either because none of his friends knew they were even dating and because Sungho had never been indiscreet enough to talk about his sex life without a reason anyway. Three months of wanting to feel Junhyung's naked body under his fingers again and not being able to because every time he tried, Junhyung would make the same excuse or just walk away from him.

 

And Sungho had always been known for his infinite patience... but there were times when patience was not the best weapon he could use, and this was one of those times. Desperate situations called for desperate measures, and for that reason, Sungho had decided that tonight he was going to corner Junhyung and they were going to have sex.

The sound of the front door opening alerted Sungho, who was in his room putting the clothes he had just taken dry from the clothesline into the wardrobe. He finished stuffing the clothes in anyway and closed the wardrobe doors quickly, then left his room for the living room, just as Junhyung left his shoes at the entrance to go into the flat. As soon as he raised his head and saw him, the younger boy gave him a charming smile which Sungho reciprocated, before approaching the newcomer, cupping his face in his hands and pulling him down slightly to plant a kiss on his lips. Junhyung didn't reciprocate the kiss at first, probably surprised, but after the initial seconds, the younger boy began to respond, moving his lips against Sungho's, moving in rhythm with Sungho's and sometimes smiling into the kiss. Junhyung used to smile as they kissed and Sungho loved kissing those smiles like nothing else.

 

"Wow..." the younger boy murmured when Sungho finally pulled away from him just enough for both of them to breathe again, but staying so close that their noses could still brush. "I wouldn’t have expected such an effusive welcome at all."

"The trees and plants are in bloom," the older man replied, staring into his eyes, "It's getting pretty warm in the city," he continued. "And I feel like it's been too long since we've slept together, and I want that to change."

"Hyung..." Junhyung replied, a pout forming on his lips and his eyes glazing over. "I don't want to hurt you again..."

 

And there was the answer the younger one always gave him when he proposed that they do it again. Sungho had almost ended up loathing that answer and, at times, had been more than tempted to reply to Junhyung that he didn't care if it hurt, that the pain could be momentary or last for days, because all he wanted was to feel his skin against his own again, his fingers and lips running over his body and the pain was secondary; however, he also knew that an answer like that would make his very impressionable boyfriend run away from him, so he had prepared another speech for that day and for that moment.

 

"I'm going to make you understand that if it's done properly, it doesn't hurt so that another time you won't be afraid to hurt me again," Junhyung stared at him, confusion painted on his face, so Sungho added, "This time I want to be the one inside you."

 

For a few moments, the younger boy didn't react to his words and Sungho felt a little shy about what he had just said. He wasn't one to go around making such indecent propositions, in fact, he wasn't the kind of person who just wanted sex in his life. He had never used dating apps like Taeyeob did to hook up with someone cute and hot for a great night out, he had always been about looking for a more or less stable relationship before jumping into the pool with sex, he had done so with his previous boyfriends and he had done so with Junhyung as well. And yet, since he had slept with the other and after the constant procrastination he had given him, he could think of nothing else but having sex with him.

 

"I think... I didn't expect that..." Junhyung finally replied after a few quiet moments. "Hyung being so direct, I mean," he punctuated, his cheeks flushing a deep red. "But... I'd like to try it and I know you won't do me any harm because you're experienced."

 

Sungho wanted to retort that he wasn't as experienced as he was active, but at that moment he held his tongue because Junhyung had just accepted his proposal and he didn't want him to back out for anything in the world.

 

"You won't regret it," he said instead.

 

He immediately grabbed him by the lapels of the jacket he wore to pull him down again and cause their lips to meet again in a kiss that was more than hungry and unbridled. Their kisses had always been lazy, kisses where they savoured each other calmly, unhurriedly, where their tongues entwined with each other and tangled in each other's mouths, with rhythm, with more feeling than passion, but right now Sungho didn't want that, he needed so much more, and there were times when they were uncoordinated, that they turned their heads to the same side while he clung tightly to the lapels of the younger man's jacket so as not to fall to the floor because the intensity of the kiss made him dizzy, but even though he felt dizzy, even though he needed more air to get into his lungs, Sungho didn't stop kissing Junhyung in that way until the younger man pulled his face away from his, panting. When Sungho opened his eyes and looked at him, the boy's cheeks were bright red and his lips were fully swollen, he himself had to be offering a similar picture because Junhyung's gaze was fixed on his face as if he was seeing it for the first time.

 

"Wow," Junhyung murmured again as he seemed to regain his speech and composure a little. "I've never been kissed this intensely before."

"Did you like it?" he asked, a little afraid that his answer would be no because Sungho was feeling out of his depth at the moment and wasn't sure he could calm down and go back to doing things the way he usually did.

"It was different," he replied, smiling, "but I liked it a lot."

 

Sungho smiled back and then moved back to him, pressing their bodies together, grabbing him by the lapels of his jacket and pulling the younger one down so he could kiss him again until they were both senseless. Dizzy again, the older one took a couple of steps back to steady himself and ended up crashing against the arm of the sofa and falling into a sitting position on it. Junhyung immediately went over to him to check if he was alright and Sungho smiled at him.

 

"I'm fine, I'm fine," he said before he even asked him any questions. "I just ran out of air, that's all."

 

Junhyung smiled, relieved, and Sungho took advantage of being close to him to open his legs and wrap them around his legs, bringing him closer to his body and then hugging his waist and resting his face against his stomach, regaining his breath and composure that way. He was too excited and horny and needed it all now that he could finally have it, but he had to cool down a bit if he didn't want to spoil the occasion. He could do things quickly to put out the fire that had been building up inside him for too long, but he could also make it unforgettable and good and he liked that option much better than the other, so he took those moments to calm down, feeling Junhyung's hand against his head, caressing him. Still a little beside himself, but a little calmer than he was before, he finally broke away from Junhyung and lifted his head, resting his chin on the younger boy's hard stomach, to look down at him and get his attention.

 

"Better?" Junhyung asked.

"Calmer," he replied, "But just as excited to sleep with you," he said, being completely honest with him. "It's been too long and I can't control myself."

"I'm sorry, hyung..." the younger boy began, but Sungho stopped him, shaking his head in the negative.

"You don't have to apologise," he said. "I might as well have proposed to you before or from the first moment to be active," Junhyung bit his lower lip, as if he wanted to reply again that it was all his fault, but, although Sungho had started to hate his refusals, he could never hate him for trying to be as careful as possible with him so that nothing bad would happen to him, so he added, "You're not to blame for anything and you don't have to apologise for anything... but if you still want to apologise, give me a kiss and I'll forgive you and absolve you of all your sins," he joked, trying to take the heat off the matter so that the boy would stop feeling bad.

 

Junhyung finally smiled again and bent down to be at his level so he could give him a kiss, which Sungho immediately reciprocated. That one wasn't like the others, it wasn't as intense, it was much more lazy and languid, a brushing of mouths and tongues, enjoying each other to the fullest, but without the intensity that the older one had charged the previous ones with, being more like their usual kisses. Junhyung smiled into the kiss again and then pulled away from Sungho, that smile still on his face.

 

 

"Do you want to go to bed?" he couldn't help asking him at that moment, causing a laugh to escape his lips. "Don't laugh..."

"That was very sudden," he replied, still smiling. "But yes, I want us to go to bed."

 

Junhyung took a few steps away from the couch and Sungho so that Sungho could get up without disturbing him, and Sungho got back up on his feet, taking the younger boy's hand immediately to lead him to the bedroom of the small flat where he lived alone. He didn't even bother to close the door to the room when they entered, he simply guided Junhyung to the bed and made Junhyung sit on the mattress. The younger boy looked at him questioningly, but Sungho said absolutely nothing, just brought his hands up to Junhyung's shoulders and slipped them under his jacket, starting to move them down his strong arms, pulling it down until it ended at his wrists and finally off, releasing it onto the desk chair behind him anyway. He then moved his hands back to Junhyung's shoulders, who was wearing a white tank top underneath the denim jacket and gently touched his strong arms under the attentive and curious gaze of the younger boy enraptured by their shape and firmness.

 

Junhyung opened his mouth to speak, probably to ask why he was merely entertaining himself by touching his arms, but before he could utter a word, Sungho brought his face close to his to give him a short kiss on the lips. The younger boy opened his mouth again to speak, but he brought his index finger to his lips and asked for silence, causing him to chuckle, but eventually asked his question.

 

"Hyung... what are you doing?"

"You've been going to the gym," he said. "Last time you didn't have such defined muscles."

"Yes... I've been going once in a while," he replied. "Nothing serious, just to keep in shape."

 

Sungho nodded and couldn't help swallowing because he was sure he'd been training his abs as well as his arms, when he'd hugged him and put his head on his stomach he hadn't noticed that it was harder or more defined, but looking at his arms now they had to be as hard as these. For a second, he gasped as he imagined running his fingertips over those muscles and Junhyung responding to his touch because his skin was always so sensitive, but then he focused. He had several missions to accomplish that day, and he couldn't just stay on the first one, without moving forward. He had to do everything right and he had to make Junhyung enjoy the experience to the fullest so that their relationship wouldn't be stuck in that wanting and not being able to be together physically because of the younger one's fears.

 

"If you don't like something I do... tell me," he said and Junhyung nodded.

 

With that nod and the reassurance that the boy's honest personality would make him say if he wasn't comfortable with something, Sungho continued on his journey. He moved closer to Junhyung and climbed onto the bed with him, positioning himself on top of the younger boy's thighs, his knees on either side of his hips, pressing his chest against Junhyung's and bringing their faces within inches of each other, their noses almost brushing. They stared at each other and Sungho bridged the distance between them to trap their lips in a kiss in which their tongues made contact from the first instant. Sungho was aroused, but he had calmed down enough to enjoy slower, deeper kisses, not rushed and not looking for more than he could give. The older man felt Junhyung's large hands settle on his bottom, gripping his buttocks firmly, causing Sungho to moan against his lips.

 

Without separating, without stopping kissing, Sungho began to tug at the edge of Junhyung's shirt, lifting it up, brushing his sides as he did so. He left it for a few moments or so at the level of his chest as they continued kissing, not wanting to pull apart, but eventually they had to and Junhyung removed his hands from his ass, lifting them above his head so that the shirt came comfortably over his head. Once his torso was fully exposed and the shirt lying everywhere, Sungho kissed him again, noticing how the younger man brought his hands up to the buttons of his shirt, starting to unbutton it. The heat was too much in the room and on his body, Sungho was sure the temperature must have risen several degrees since they had come to his room and had started kissing and touching, Junhyung's fingers burning like fire besides where it brushed his skin as he unbuttoned his shirt. Sungho let himself be done, let Junhyung finish undressing his upper body, removing his shirt, causing it to descend down his arms and fall to the floor without stopping kissing his lips at any point.

 

Sungho only broke away from Junhyung's mouth when he began to kiss other areas of his body, attacking his chin and neck, his sensitive neck, with his lips, entertaining himself with the mole he had in the area, causing successive shivers to run through the younger boy's body and his gasps to begin to be heard in the room. Sungho had missed that and had longed too much to be in a situation like that with him. Junhyung began to drop down on the mattress and the older one followed that movement, taking the opportunity to kiss more areas of his body, his collarbones, the beginning of his pectorals, without being able to go any lower because otherwise he would end up falling to the floor, instead of continuing to sit on his boy's legs. They had to change position, but Sungho didn't want to separate from Junhyung's body and kept kissing that area, still hearing the younger boy's gasps echoing in his ears, feeling hotter and hotter. He only pulled away from Junhyung when he began to feel against his crotch how the younger one's crotch hardened.

 

"Wow... hyung..." sighed Junhyung, still lying on the bed, his long hair sprawled on the mattress, breathing heavily. He looked like an angel that had just fallen from the sky, the only thing missing to complete that Renaissance picture were a few feathers tangled in his hair and white wings sprouting from his back, open against the mattress. "I'm... out of air..."

"And this is just the beginning," he murmured in response, giving him a smirk and lowering himself off his body, his feet touching the floor for the first time in a while. "Can you get on the bed better?" he asked and Junhyung nodded, immediately starting to move on the bed until he was lying completely on it. Sungho crawled on top of him and gave him a quick kiss on his left cheek. "Thank you."

 

Sungho's intention had been to just thank him for that with the kiss and get off the bed again to get the lube, which was the next thing he would have to use, but Junhyung caught him in his iron arms and left him no escape as he caught his lips again in a lazy kiss, just mouth to mouth, moving in the same rhythm over and over again until they parted for air. Junhyung gave him an intense look, veiled by desire through his bangs and Sungho felt that look burning him too much, so, he got out of bed immediately and pulled out the lube and a couple of condoms from the bottom drawer of the nightstand, leaving them handy so he wouldn't have to search for them later. He then returned to the bed, when not even a minute had passed since he had moved away from the warmth of the younger boy's body, climbing onto his thighs and leaning directly over his chest, catching his right nipple with his lips and teeth.

 

"Ahhhh... mmmm..."

 

A low moan escaped Junhyung's lips and Sungho couldn't help but smile against his skin because the honest reactions of the younger boy's body were something that completely fascinated him and he wanted to get many more. So he kept roaming down his torso, down his chest, kissing, licking biting without force every millimeter of his skin, listening to his moans, like a kind of soundtrack, echoing in the room. Bit by bit he worked his way down those marked abs, much, much more marked and harder than they had been the previous time, rising and falling sharply with the rapidity of his breathing. Sungho couldn't help but glance at the younger man from time to time, his eyes closed, his hands clinging to the sheets, enjoying the touch of his lips. He soon ended up reaching the waistband of his jeans and unfastened the button and pulled down the zipper with his hands, tugging them down, getting immediate cooperation from Junhyung, who lifted his hips enough for Sungho to pull his pants down and off completely. In his crotch, still under his underpants, the bulge of his erection was showing and the older man licked his lips unconsciously, wetting them with his saliva, feeling very aroused at that sight of the younger man.

 

Sungho leaned again over Junhyung's body to give a slight nibble, only with his lips, to his member, still above the cloth, making the younger one let out a small cry, surprised.

 

"Hyung!" he moaned, between amused and surprised by what had just happened.

"It was just to relax you," answered Sungho, although it had not been for that at all, it had simply been an impulse that he had not been able nor wanted to control. "Are you ready?" he asked, wanting confirmation before going ahead... because he was too eager and Junhyung had been receptive all along, but now he was going to start a new part for him and if he wanted to refuse, Sungho wasn't going to force him, they would just end up masturbating each other.

"Yes, hyung," the boy replied. "I want... I want to feel you inside... see what it's like..." and he added: "I like you to take the initiative like this, to let me do it in your hands."

"Okay," he replied.

 

Sungho moved on the bed to reach Junhyung's lips and give him a short kiss that the younger one eagerly reciprocated, wrapping his arms around his neck and trapping him with his legs clinging to his waist, causing not a single millimeter of space between them, their crotches rubbing against each other, completely hard and aroused. When they stopped kissing, Sungho stretched his left arm toward the small table, on which he had a few moments ago left the condoms and lube, and grabbed the lube before moving back to the end of the bed, this time between Junhyung's legs. He removed the younger man's underpants, hearing a protest that he was still overdressed which he deliberately ignored. Then he poured some of that slimy liquid on Junhyung's butt, causing him to tense up a bit from the contrast of the coolness of the lubricant against his hot skin.

 

"Relax..." he asked, in a soft tone, and Junhyung took a deep breath to relax. "Like this..." Sungho poured some lube on his index finger and then brought it up to his anus, touching it around first before starting to insert it. Junhyung again tensed up hopelessly at the foreign intrusion into his body. "Take a deep breath," he asked, and the boy did so. Once, twice, three times, until he stopped being so tense, releasing Sungho's finger so he could start moving. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah... yeah... yeah... it's just..." the boy paused a little bit, "strange..."

"If it hurts... you tell me and I'll stop, okay?" he said again and Junhyung nodded that time too.

 

Calmly and pouring some more lubricant, he continued to introduce his finger into Junhyung's body until he was finally completely inside, then, he waited for the boy to finish getting used to that intrusion before he started to move it in and out, touching with his right hand his boyfriend's member to try to distract him from the discomfort and the slight pain that the intrusion was causing him, drowning him in different sensations so that his body would eventually accept the intrusion as pleasurable until he got used to it. Junhyung soon began to moan, more because of what his hand was doing, enveloping his member, than because of his finger moving in his rectum, but that gave Sungho some more confidence to move it a little faster, opening his anus a little more for a second finger to enter it. He continued in that way until Junhyung began to move his hips, wanting more and only then did he pull his index finger out of his body.

 

"Do you like it?" he asked him, squeezing more lubricant on his fingers.

"It's still... weird," Junhyung answered, "but I think so..."

 

For the moment, that was more than enough, so, Sungho at that instant, he slipped two fingers into his body, slowly working his way inside hiz with almost no opposition to that intrusion, moving his fingers in and out, at the same time masturbating the younger boy. Heavy gasps, low moans, his chest rising and falling rapidly... Junhyung was about to cum, so, Sungho stopped touching his member and focused on his ass, trying to do it right, not to hurt him, but still getting him used to it. He was too aroused and needed to be touched, he needed Junhyung's big hands to wrap around his member and touch it, leaving him breathless, but for the moment all he could do was keep grooming his boyfriend. Junhyung's moans didn't stop even when he had already stopped touching his member and his hips were moving again in search of more and more, so, Sungho ended up finally pulling his fingers out of the boy's insides. He felt like he was going to burst inside his pants and underpants, so, he quickly wiped his fingers with a handkerchief and then finished undressing, under Junhyung's watchful eyes, from the bed, with an ill-contained desire in his eyes.

 

"Hyung..." Junhyung called out to him. "I want to touch you."

 

Sungho smiled and nodded. His member was eager to be touched and needed to be a little harder to put on the condom, so he returned to the bed, taking the condoms and leaving them nearby, on the mattress, while Junhyung settled on the bed until he was sitting up, grimacing, probably feeling a little tightness in his ass. However, that must not have bothered him too much because he sat down in front of him, pressing their bodies as close together as possible and, while trapping his lips, wrapped his hand around his member. Sungho opened his mouth to let out a moan that was drowned out in the kiss, a kiss in which a smile formed on Junhyung's lips before he pushed his tongue practically down his throat. He felt suffocated, breathless, on the brink as the younger man touched and kissed him and when he finally stopped doing both, he couldn't help but give him a reproachful look because he needed so much more. Nevertheless, Junhyung just smiled and reached for the condoms on the bed to open one and carefully place it on his erect member about to explode in one of the most exquisite pleasures.

 

"Relax," he asked Junhyung again as he lay down on the bed, spreading his legs to make room for him. "I promise to be as careful as possible."

"I trust you," replied the younger one, causing Sungho's heart to beat rapidly inside his chest. Junhyung was too charming and he was infinitely grateful that he had decided to exchange their roles that day so that he could show him well how to do everything, slowly, carefully, so that they could be united again as one. "I trust you won't do me any harm, hyung."

 

Sungho bit his lower lip and held back the urge to kiss him again because the desire to enter Junhyung's body surpassed anything else at that moment. He loved his boy so much, adored him, and all he needed in that instant was to feel the walls of his rectum clench as he moved in and out of his body. Carefully, however, he brought his member up to his anus and again poured plenty of lubricant over both of them to make the penetration as easy and slippery as possible. He gripped Junhyung's hips as soon as the tip of his member began to work its way inside him and helped himself with that to continue to go in bit by bit. At first, Junhyung protested, hissing and Sungho stopped immediately, waiting for the younger boy to breathe and relax or give him indications whether to continue or not. The boy said nothing, just took several deep breaths and his walls relaxed, making Sungho move a little more again, in and out, slowly, but steadily. He didn't know how long it took before he was completely inside Junhyung, but when he finally did, he couldn't help but let out a slight moan because the sensation overwhelmed him and he liked it too much —maybe not as much as when he felt someone's member inside him, but that feeling could almost compare, especially when the one under him was Junhyung, looking like a fallen angel, still pure enough, but finding pleasure in sin—.

 

"Are you all right?" he asked Junhyung. The boy nodded, but took a little time to answer.

-Yes... I'm fine..." he said. "You can go on... I think... I'm really liking it...".

 

He couldn't help but smile at that comment and then began to move, slowly, still getting him used to the intrusion, but with rhythm, not stopping moving for a single second. The friction between their joined bodies was addictive, delicious and Sungho couldn't and wouldn't stop. JunHhyung began to move his hips in rhythm, some moans escaping his lips as he seemed to reach his prostate with the tip of his member and Sungho took that as he could move much faster, so he did, beginning to carry a maddening rhythm in which their hips crashed hard against each other and the sound of their heavy breaths and moans filled the room. He continued with that rhythm completely gone, lost in his sensations, until he noticed how the fire began to build up in his lower abdomen and then he brought his left hand to Junhyung's member, beginning to touch it in rhythm as he penetrated him so that they would eventually climax... together. In the end, they cum, only moments apart, Junhyung on his stomach, Sungho inside his body, in the condom, both panting and satisfied. With his chest rising and falling rapidly and quivering slightly and his eyes veiled with pleasure, sweaty and bangs sticking to his forehead, Junhyung offered too perfect a view and Sungho, still with the residue of orgasm in his body, pulled out of JunHhyung, taking off his condom and tying it in a knot, leaving it on the floor beside the bed, too lazy to get up to throw it away and simply lay down next to Junhyung, hugging his body, wanting to recover from the orgasm with him.

 

"Hyung..." muttered the boy, after spending a while quietly, in a comfortable and lazy silence, tired, satisfied, at the gates of sleep. "You were right..."

"I'm always right," he tried to joke, with his head resting on Junhyung's chest.

"That's true too..." answered the younger one, "but... I mean this... it wasn't that bad... it hardly hurt because you did well..." he took a breath of air, still not recovered from everything before, "and I'm sorry for having been so stubborn... I don't know how I could have been all this time without you... like this..."

 

Sungho didn't answer, just left a little kiss on his chest before settling back on him. He was happy because he had had good sex with his boyfriend and also because he had finally accepted that what he had done in the previous months hadn’t been the best way to approach the matter. They had gone through a small critical point in their relationship and had ended up bridging it, like the bud of a flower about to open when a sudden cold day comes and it doesn't wilt, but gets much stronger until it finally ends up blossoming.

 

 

 

 

 

Endnotes:

—I wrote the first scene around the beginning of June or so and it took me more than a month to get back to writing the other part because I didn't know how to approach it... I pulled my hair out a lot until I finally figured out how to continue and didn't stop until I had it done.
