Stack of underwear and a toothbrush
Title: stack of underwear and a toothbrush
Pairing: Sofia/Youngjae; 10th Member of Stray Kids
Summary: tight schedules bring drastic measures
Youngjae was cleaning up the kitchen when the doorbell rung.
Knowing it was Sofia he opened the door without caring what he looked like.
And Sofia didn’t care either, she kissed him as a greeting and then made her way to do the same with coco.
"I'm so tired I feel like my feet is gonna fall of."
To that Youngjae chuckled, knowing the feeling very well.
They both were at that part of their relationship where talking wasn’t a necessary as long as they were in each other’s company, so Youngjae continuing cleaning whilst Sofia was reading her book in the living room wasn’t an unusual situation.
About an hour later Youngjae finally finished cleaning, his kitchen now looking like he just bought it (if you overlook all the supreme stickers) and he slumped down besides her.
"Are you going to stay the night?" He asked hopefully.
These days were hard ones for them, both fully packed with shedules that they can’t find time for each other, and if it’s only briefly.
The pressure of doing well is eating both of them, but they have each other to rely on in hard times as it has always been the case.
"They want us in the studio early tomorrow, I'm not sure if I can make it to my apartment first to change. I might go home in a few hours, I’m sorry." Sofia said with sincerity.
"I know we haven’t seen much of each other- or feel. I know and I’m sorry. If I could change things I would believe me"
Youngjae took her into his arms and rested his head on hers, knowing it’s not her fault, neither is it his.
"I‘m sorry too. You’re not the only one who’s deep into work. And I do miss you."
"If there was something we could do to change the situation-"
"I know." Youngjae interrupted her, pressing a kiss onto her lips after.
A few minutes passed with them holding each other and thinking in silence when Youngjae gathered his courage, or rather tried to.
"You know, there might be a solution for both sides." He started to trail off, making Sofia immediately get up and look at him with big eyes.
"What is it? What can I do?"
Youngjae wrapped his arm around her waist and gripped her closer whilst remaining eye contact.
It took him a few seconds to gather his last courage before it flew off again like it always does when he wanted to suggest it. Apparently he spend a few seconds to much in silence because Sofia started to become worried.
"Youngjae, what is it? You know whatever it is I’m sure it’s better than what we are doing now, I’m sure of it-"
"Move in with me" he suddenly interrupted her. If Sofia’s eyes weren’t widened before, they are now. She can’t bring herself to say anything, the words processing in her brain.
"Listen, I wanted to ask you so many times before. It makes sense for us. This way you don’t have to stand up at an ungodly hour just to go back home first before you head to the company. You’d have your stuff here. At my place. I mean you already have a stack of underwear and a toothbrush here, why not bring the rest of it too? You can get more sleep, we'd get to wake up next to each other. Coco would benefit from it too, not just me and you. Your absence is affecting her."
Sofia spent a few seconds to let his ment sink in before she slowly started to put the dots in her brain together and started working again.
Even though it should’ve made him jump out of relief, Youngjae was shocked. He doesn’t know what he expected, but it wasn’t this.
„Okay? You mean you wanna move in here? With me? Are you sure?"
"Youngjae." She stopped his rant with a smile.
He took her face into his hands and looked at her deeply, trying to suppress a smile.
"Look, i'm gonna ask one last time. You’re not allowed to move out if you change your mind afterwards, got it? So, are you sure? Like, is this what you really want and not just because I said so?"
He continued to stare through her and unlike him, she couldn’t keep her smile hidden.
"I’m sure. 100%. It makes sense. It’s easier. We all three benefit from it. Let’s do it."
He pressed his lips against hers pulling her into a deep kiss, both now unable to hide their smiles. Their hands wrapped tightly around each out of happiness.
Coco was sleeping in her spot, not knowing a single things about her parents current happiness. She was in her happy place herself, sleeping all the troubles away a dog could have.
