Humanity is at a crossroads.

If there's anything Hyunjin loves more than Stay, it’s a bowl of freshly cut fruit. Peaches, mango, watermelon. You name it. Mango was today’s choice. Only this time, it was the result of a gift. A gift of forgiveness, rather. 

Hyunjin had been in a mood all day. Something that was partly your fault, but not completely. He had downtime, and insisted you stay home to spend it with him, but that was not plausible. You had errands to run and responsibilities that couldn’t be ignored, so you were to be out of the house all day. He understood, but not without pouting when you turned to leave 

The four hours you were gone felt like days to him. Hyunjin busied himself in any way he could, but nothing felt as fulfilling without your presence. It didn’t help that the calls and text he left you around hour three went unanswered, his attempts ending with a small huff of frustration. 

The sun was just starting to set when keys unlocking the door could be heard. The sight you walked in on was almost pitiful. On the couch laid your boyfriend, sprawled out with a slender leg and arm hanging off the side. His dramatic nature made you chuckle, finally catching his attention.

“You were gone all day,” He whined. “You didn’t even answer my calls or text. I felt like I was going to die.”

That and the pout he had on his face got another good laugh out of you. “I'm sorry. My phone died, so I couldn't answer anyone back,” You replied. He just huffed.

“Look… I'm sorry, okay? If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t come back empty-handed,” You explained. That got his attention.

Putting down your keys and phone, you opened your reusable grocery bag and pulled something small out. A mango. Hyunjin perked his head up before sitting up. His eyes zoned in on the mango in your hand. That made the already prominent smile of amusement on your face widen.

“Here. Come help put away groceries so we can eat them,” You proposed. 

You didn’t have to tell him twice. He was already making his way to the kitchen before you could finish your sentence. Leaving him to it, you go on to wind down, changing out your outfit from the day into something more comfortable. You went back out to the kitchen to assist, but he was already done. In fact, he was waiting patiently by the island counter, mangoes splayed on its surface. Not wasting any time, you went right into washing and cleaning the ripe fruits. 

______________

That's where the two found themselves. With their own bowl filled with sliced up mango, each of them in their respectable chairs at the dining table. Comfortable silence filled the air in what was supposed to be a moment of peace. However, Hyunjin had other ideas. 

For the past ten minutes, you could feel eyes on the side of your head. However, anytime you look over at him, he’d turn his head back toward the bowl of fruit in front of him. With furrowed brows, you stare for a moment before brushing off and continuing to eat the sweet goodness in front of you. That was only just the beginning. 

He started getting bold. 

Hyunjin was an emotive person. If he enjoyed something, he made it known. Food was no exception, making adorable sounds of delight whenever he was eating something delicious. This was not the case. The sounds he was making were anything but innocuous. Drawn out moans whenever a new piece of fruit hits his taste buds. They were borderline pornographic. The excessive slurping sounds didn't make things any better, either. You knew the mangoes you picked out were juicy and ripe, but nothing to warrant this.

You caught onto his game.  Oh, it was obvious now. He was messing with you on purpose. As if to punish you for leaving him home alone for hours. This was a new level of neediness you were not expecting. You’d be lying if you said it didn’t have an effect on you.

Staring holes into the side of his head didn’t seem to quell the hot, tingling sensation in your abdomen and your now empty bowl long forgotten. Hyunjin seemed to be aware of the effect he had, telling by the subtle quirk of his lips as a smile threatened to appear on his lips. 

Your eyes moved down to them before they darted toward the trail of juice on his chin. It dripped down his jaw and onto his neck near his Adam’s apple. Your chair creaked as you finally got up and made your way toward where he sat. Only then did he finally look up. He noticed the dark look on your face, but the one on his didn’t change.

“Didn’t realize you were such a messy eater, Hyunjin,” You breathed.

Before he could even answer, your thumb caught the drop of juice and moved it upward, tracing the trail it left. It moved up his neck, not missing the way his pulse stuttered when your thumb moved over it. It made his breath hitch. You made your way up his chin and onto his bottom lip, brushing the digit across the soft and plump flesh. 

You didn’t have time to react when Hyunjin opened his mouth and took your thumb in. Your eyes slightly widened as he proceeded to close his mouth, a gasp leaving you as you felt the wet warmth of his tongue licking up the juice. He kept sucking, making direct eye contact as he took your whole thumb in his mouth.

Oh, this whore. 

You’d be lying if you said that your entire being wasn’t burning with arousal. The sight took your breath away. Your boyfriend below you, looking at you through his lashes as he sucked on your thumb. Moaning around it. He looked so pretty like this, and it drove you crazy. If you didn’t have any ounce of self control, you’d be putting that pretty mouth to better use. 

“God… I knew you were needy, but this is pathetic,” You scoffed. “Missed me that much?” 

You yanked your wet thumb out of his mouth, a string of saliva being the only thing keeping it connected to his mouth. It didn’t go unoccupied for long before it was replaced with your own. The kiss was messy, not an ounce of grace to be found. Your tongue slipped into his mouth while a hand moved up to his throat to hold him in place. He tasted like the mangoes they had eaten just a moment prior. You didn’t miss the way he whined into your mouth, smiling into the kiss. 

Unfortunately, you were a mortal being, so you pulled away in order to take in air. You take in a breath and open your eyes to relish the sight in front of you. His eyes that stared up into your own were glossed over and his pupils were blown. A red flush displayed on his cheeks, reaching the tips of his eyes. Plush lips slightly agape as he panted. He never looked so beautiful.

You finally caught your bearings, clearing your throat as you stood up straight. Letting go of him, you smoothed down your clothes. You smiled.

“Be a good boy and take these to the sink, mm?” You asked, pushing the bowls in his direction. “Meet me in the bathroom when you’re done.”

Not wanting to linger any longer, you swiveled on your feet and made your way to the bathroom. Hyunjin was left to his own devices, as well as to process what just happened. You couldn’t help the smirk that made its way onto your way the further you get.

He wanted your attention… and he got it.
