Head in the clouds ☁️

he only laughed fondly at you, turning back to his book. that was your cue to go back to watching random videos on your computer, relaxing with the simple presence of your beloved boyfriend next to you.

your eyes widened in interest when a cat video appeared on your screen. you pressed it and watched with amusement at their cute little antics.

but then, you felt a chest press into your shoulder. specifically, juyeon’s chest. he leaned in and joined in watching your video. his hair brushed against your neck and you could easily trace the slope of his nose. you gulped, as you felt yourself get enveloped by his warm, familiar scent. but, he didn’t seem to notice your reaction, as he was incredibly interested in the videos of cats falling off counters accidentally.

he seemed to be in much thought, almost like he wasn’t even paying attention to the video.

“juyeon?” you whispered, catching his attention. he perked up and looked at you.

he had on a completely straight face. it was so straightforward that it almost scared you. you tilted your head slightly in confusion as if to silently ask if he was alright.

and then he finally spoke, his words monotone and calm.

“why don’t cats play poker in the jungle?”

you stared, blinking slowly at him. you opened your mouth but you felt speechless. because there’s no way he was being that serious when you knew he was about to hit you with the literal worst dad joke ever.

“juyeon-”

“because there’s too many cheetahs.”

you continued to stare at him, your eyes slowly narrowing. you could tell he was holding in his laugh as he gazed back at you. his eyes were twitching, trying to turn up into cute crescents, and you could recognize the familiar sign of the corner of his lips turning up. but still, he resisted laughing, trying his hardest to stay nonchalant.

you smiled slightly, thinking that he looked cute like this. you closed the computer, turning your full attention to him.

“you’re so funny,” you laughed slightly. except it wasn’t because of his horrible joke, but to tease him sarcastically.

juyeon caught on quickly as he glared cutely, “do you really think so?”

“of course,” you smirked, looking away for a second.

“i don’t think you’re telling the truth,” his voice sounded low and deep. you paused, turning to look at him in case he might just actually be mad.

you panicked, “j-juyeon i-”

but suddenly, he leaned closer and began tickling you. you took in a quick gasp at his sudden action. his large hands roamed around your waist and all across your sides. you immediately burst out laughing, trying your hardest to push him away. in the corner of your eye, you could see him laughing and smiling with you.

he paused, after noticing that you were literally tearing up.

“you’re laughing now,” he breathed out, one side of his lips quirked up.

you scoffed, “because you’re tickling me?”

he shook his head and tried to take gentle hold of your waist. but you thought that he was trying to tickle you again.

“okay, okay!” you grabbed hold of his wrist. “please, please, i surrender.” you pushed him off so that you were now on top of him. 

he looked attractive like this. his hair was messy and he looked slightly out of breath. and his lips…

you couldn’t resist, as you quickly leaned down and pressed a kiss to his lips. he smiled into it and kissed back, caressing your back.

“was it really not funny?” he asked, turning the topic back to his dad joke. 

you immediately shook your head, “no…”

he looked at you with slight determination, “i’ll improve then.”

“you don’t have to, i think you’re perfect as you are,” you sarcastically responded, mocking one of those inspirational quotes you used to see on the internet. it was oddly quiet, so you looked back down at him.

…

“did you really just blush over that cheesy line?”

“shhh,” he pressed a finger to your lips, his cheeks red.

you giggled, falling down to lie on top of him.

"never stop with your jokes," you mumbled, nuzzling into his neck. "i think they're cute, seriously."

"even when you don't find them funny?" he asked, gazing at you with soft eyes.

"some of them are funny, i swear."
