"Saaaaaaam," Jisung calls

"What," they call back. 

"You should tell me the password to your phone!"

"Nope!" They hurriedly answer and Jisung can hear the speed of their movements increase behind the door. 

Pajamas are the only consistent requirement for movie nights. 

"Hmph, I'm trying anyways and you can't stop me" 

"Jisung, I swear put my phone down" 

"What could it be? What is the most embarrassing thing it could be? Hyunjin's birthday? No. Surely it's not Chan's birthday? Good, no." He pauses at the next possibility that comes into his head and whispers, "my birthday?" 

He stares at the phone for an extra moment. There is a sudden noise from behind Sam's door and he types as fast as his hands can manage. He didn't actually expect it to work and wanted to tease about it. When it does work he drops their phone on the couch. 

They burst into the living room but stop dead when they see the unlocked phone and Jisung's stunned face. 

They groan and go to pick up the phone now left on the couch. One hand is barely laid on it before Jisung's hand also shoots out to grab it.

"Jisung? Hey, let go of my phone."

"Since when?"

"Since when what?"

"Since when did you like me?"

They stand fully taking the phone and grabbing a glass of water on the side table, "I don't want to talk about this right now. Let go of the phone."

"Do you think I'll make fun of you? Promise I won't, I just want to one up you."

They laugh, "you are the worst. 6 months ago when we went and got noodles and ice cream at 1am. Your hair looked really pretty in the moonlight. I used that as an excuse to myself for why I couldn't stop looking at you."

Jisung's jaw drops again.

"What?" Sam asks, raising their eyebrows.

"I can't one up you now! Mine was only 5 months ago~"

"Sucker," they deadpan. 

He pouts, "do you want to know when it was or not?"

"Yeah, I do, I don't care that you can't one up me. You weirdo."

"I'm going to ignore that last part. It was when you were helping me study for my last final. You fell asleep on my fluffy pillow that you always call stupid-

"Because it is stupid! The amount of fluff on it is so unnecessary and it's gross because you've spilled ice cream on it 16 times."

"Well, you sure weren't complaining when you fell asleep on it. Anyways, I kept studying but eventually you started cuddling my arm and I laid down. Wasn't going to fall asleep I guess I did because you had disappeared."

"Oh no, I kinda remember that. I woke up and we were full on spooning. I panicked and ran away." They shake their head in mock disappointment "if only I knew what might have happened if I stayed."

Jisung raises his eyebrow, "I wouldn't have done anything. I had only just realized it, so what would you have gotten?" 

Sam shrugs, "if nothing else I could have gotten Jisung cuddles while I was awake.I'm sure the half hour or whatever was totally worth it." 

"I will totally take the best teddy bear title"

"Wait, what was with those flowers then?"

"Oh. Uuuuuh right. I was going to give them to you but I chickened out and just put them on the counter instead." 

Sam puts the glass of water down then throws their head forward into the cushions. 

"Whoa, careful there angel," Jisung says.

"I thought you had confessed to someone else with those so I sat in my room and ate my chocolates in sadness." 

Jisung doesn't say anything else, just tugs Sam's hand. They oblige and sit down and Jisung pulls them into his side. Using his other hand to move their phone and get the remote to turn on Netflix. 

"I'll get you flowers again soon," he leaves a lingering kiss on the top of their head. 

After credits scene - several minutes later

"Why are you staring at me again?" Jisung asks. 

"I love your voice and I really love how your eyes literally sparkle when you talk about something you love."

"Hmmm, more than one of my friends have told me that my eyes sparkle when I talk about you."

"What? Jisung, you can't drop something like that on me!"
