BLUE LOVE

𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐘 : i feel like if we were to try and stage a prison break we'd die before we reached the bridge, but it's a chance i'm willing to take

𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐘 : why wouldn't you wanna leave? have you been brainwashed?

TAEIL: i was being sarcastic lmao. but also i think DYING might be on the dramatic side as well, so who am i to talk...

SWEETASHUNNIE: yeah. :( guess u could say i have a problem but i rly don’t SEE the problem so that just kinda sounds dramatic lol :) SWEETASHUNNIE: u remember when i lost my virginity?? that’s so sweet… ur so sweet. my heart? she’s bursting!  SWEETASHUNNIE: we do need to hang out tho. even if it’s not THAT :/ esp with all the rules apparently being lifted. we better move quick.

SWEETASHUNNIE: i can’t tell if ur fucking around or what :( SWEETASHUNNIE: i haven’t had sex since i got into this place which is prob a record for me since i fuckin lost my v card to begin with SWEETASHUNNIE: jokes like this will NOT be taken lightly! i will call the fbi!!!

TAEIL: has anybody like... staged a prison break in this bitch yet? is that something we have any data on? any uhhhh SCIENCE happened in here?

        the hug being initiated by taeil only causes a nervous eruption of laughter to fall out of hunnie, quickly returning the hug in the same eager spirit. there weren’t a lot of people in hunnie’s life that would see him and be happy about it, and it’s nice to have someone who remembers him as he was, before he allowed himself to get so reckless and emotionally distant. when he allowed himself to feel things. his feelings with taeil had been pure, something completely wholesome in the wreckage of life and maybe it was exactly what they both needed in clearly low points of their own lives. “ah, i could say the same to you.” hunseo had long since accepted that he’d never see taeil again, so having him placed right in front of him once again, much taller and even more handsome than he remembered before, it feels like sucking the breath right out of him. “you look so handsome,” he finally praises, pulling back enough to place his hands on the other’s cheeks and letting out another mess of excited laughter. “you make the whole… fucking up and ending up here thing worth it. maybe this shit isn’t so bad after all, ya know? we’ve got so much catching up to do.”

SWEETASHUNNIE: wait… fr?? SWEETASHUNNIE: 😳😳😳😳

SWEETASHUNNIE: can’t quit bc i need money :((( this is so sad :((( SWEETASHUNNIE: oh?? and what are we gonna do after that? :)

     jayce wiggles his fingers until they align into the spaces left by taeil’s. the pause may seem perfectly ordinary – a teasing lull in conversation to have the other hanging onto his every word – but, truthfully, it’s more so that he can catch his breath. he hadn’t really expected things to progress to a point where he’d have a pretty boy’s face tucked warmly into the crook of his neck and, frankly, he’s excited by it. his heart’s picked up the pace though there’s still enough space between him to shield his reactions from being noticeable. “good,” he purrs with a bashful smile that’s half practiced, half genuine, “i was hoping you would be.” he leans his weight towards taeil, enough so that their shoulders brush intentionally. “you’re holding my attention just fine,” he praises in a lowered voice, the public nature of the beach feeling far more exposed than it had minutes ago. “not sure if it’s new or not. most of my… friends aren’t so forward with their thoughts on the matter. in fact, we tend not to do much sharing aloud at all.” this time, when his head tips coyly, it’s onto taeil’s shoulder but lightly, as if to ask permission. “i like knowing you want my attention.”

SNAPCHAT ~ OPEN TO ALL .

SWEETASHUNNIE : i’m so fucking BORED. pls entertain me. what are u doing?   SWEETASHUNNIE : all this is teaching me is how great my life was before. i miss wasting money and sleeping in late and drinking whenever the fuck i want. :( :( :( the fact that this shit is during pride month is homophobic too!!!!!

     still smiling, he tucks his position up even tighter, legs to chest as his dancer’s flexibility allows, so he can partially hide his pinked cheeks against his kneecaps. he wishes he were more like a flower; maybe then people wouldn’t step on him so easily. all he’d need is water and a spot of sunshine to flourish the way he thinks he could, if he weren’t so burdened. these thoughts he keeps to himself but the simple moniker has very noticeably softened his demeanor in flattery.  “do i smell nice?” he toys, “or maybe you want to pluck me from my spot and keep me somewhere special?” jayce does flutter his eyelashes then, sweet and playful. “don’t worry about it. i know you weren’t being serious – though technically you aren’t wrong. i do get called… many many things. i hope that in no way lessens your interest in me.” his smile grows confidently and one arm unwinds from his place to slide into the soft sands between them. “and you are interested, aren’t you?”

          hunseo was starting to get used to constantly seeing familiar places in what he was supposed to consider his new home. it was hard to even start to grow comfortable when he felt like he was bound to run into someone from his past, but taeil happened to be one of the very few positive reunions there. the two had known each other before hunnie really took a deep dive into what he now considered his normal. instead, he had earned a much softer version, possibly a more true version of himself. one that appreciated things like hand holding and showing his affection through cheek kisses and never seeing an issue with two boys being close to one another the way that his mother and step-father eventually sat him down and gave him an in-depth sorry excuse for whatever hateful thoughts they had about how close he had become with taeil. the second he saw him, despite now being much older, hunnie’s excitement jumped through the roof. he nearly had the mind to pull him into a hug if he weren’t worried that he was suddenly an unfamiliar face. “taeil?” his voice is surprisingly hesitant with someone so usually confident, his big eyes lit up in admiration and slight nerves as he waits to be recognized. // @btaeil

     as is standard in the art of blatant flirtation, jayce had been prepared to giggle and feign approval at whatever nickname taeil concocted. instead, however, he finds himself pleasantly surprised with a genuine flush creeping onto his cheeks. “violet? like the flower?” he smiles, touching the back of a hand to his warmed skin. “that’s a first for me, i will say. i like it a lot! i don’t remember saying i give that option to just any guy though. should i be offended? just what kind of a person do you take me for?” the hand he’s raised moves down to his heart and he even fakes a gasp, just for dramatic effect. jayce is hoping to earn a smile and maybe a laugh he’d be an awful flirt if he can’t get at least that much.

     “taeil,” he tries out the name, deciding quickly that he likes it. “it’s a pleasure to meet you then, taeil.” jayce thinks about the question for a spell, turning his gaze back out onto the incoming waves. “a little bit of both. there are harder names to pronounce than jaesun so it’s not too bad, usually – spelling is a whole other battle but not as frequently met – but i do genuinely like jayce better. i think it’s cute and some people opt for jay or jaycie, both of which i like very much!” a bright smile is flashed back in taeil’s direction, shoulders lifting in a shrug as if to say he’s not strongly attached to his own opinion. whatever self control he’d demonstrated mere minutes ago seems to have evaporated at the attentive interest he’s being paid. “you can call me whatever you’d prefer; i wouldn’t mind.”
