Late night birthday confessions

It's way past midnight and you've almost accepted the mess in the dorm kitchen isn't ever going to cook itself into a birthday cake. You're sat on a stray barstool next to the counter, your cheek resting on your hand, as you take in the sight. There are dirty dishes piled in the sink and flour covering the counters, the floor, and you from where you accidentally dropped the container. The last straw for your late night patience lays directly in front of you. You had accidentally turned the electric mixer too high, too soon and half of the ingredients from the bowl are now scattered around the counter.

You had the brief idea of possibly calling Minho or Felix to help, but you knew they were tied up with the same practice schedule that your Hyunjinnie currently was. Chan was home right now - he was the one who let you in to the boys' dorm - but he had looked exhausted when you last saw him. That was a couple hours ago and you haven't heard from him since, presumably catching up on some much needed sleep while Han and Changbin work in the studio, and who were you to interrupt the insomniac.

All you had wanted to do was bake a surprise birthday cake for Hyunjin and enjoy a few hours together before he had more schedules in the morning and you had work. At this point in the night, he should be home soon and the only thing to show for the hours you spent planning is a messy kitchen and decorations haphazardly placed around the dorm.

The late hour and the adrenaline fading away from the intense upset has your eyes falling shut in exhaustion and you don't even realize you've fallen asleep until you're awoken by someone gently nudging you.

You open your eyes to see the kitchen cleaned up and all of the dishes and ingredients set up, ready for another attempt at baking. You shoot up from the stool when you realize it's Hyunjin who was trying to wake you. Your sudden movements have you and the stool tipping backwards and you would have ended up sprawled on the floor if he weren't right there to catch you. The stool still hits the floor and you both wince at the wood meeting tile, worried about waking Chan from his much needed rest.

Deeming Chan still asleep after a beat, Hyunjin meets your eyes. You look up at him, still wrapped in his arms, and watch his eyes crinkle into a smile.

"Hey baby." His face is so close you can feel his breath on your own as he speaks. "Are you okay?" The pinch in his brow makes his concern known.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you." You can barely get the whisper out, still entranced by his eyes.

He turns slightly to look at all the ingredients laid out on the counter and squeezes you closer as he asks, "now what was my angel doing before she fell asleep on the counter, hm?"

Your eyes widen, remembering the mess you left in the kitchen. "Please tell me you didn't come home just to end up cleaning! I was going to take care of it," you insist, struggling out of his arms to get a good look at the cleaned kitchen.

His giggle comes in reply. "No, I didn't clean, don't worry about it." He tucks a stray piece of hair behind your ear and squeezes your cheek before turning back to the ingredients. "Lee Know hyung and Yongbok were going to come have a late night snack, but we found you here instead and they decided to help out before leaving us for the night."

It's then that you're hit with the painful awareness of the drying drool on your cheek and you quickly wipe it away, your cheeks burning at the thought of all three of them watching you drool in your sleep. He looks amused, but still quirks an eyebrow, silently reminding you of the question you left unanswered. You sigh in defeat and walk back into him, your face buried in his chest.

"I was trying to bake you a surprise birthday cake since I won't be able to see you much tomorrow-"

"You mean today?" You can hear his teasing grin and groan.

"Yeah, whatever day it is at this point." You sulk even further into his chest as he brings his arms up around you once more. "I just wanted to surprise you for your birthday, but everything kept messing up. I'm sorry I ruined the surprise."

Hyunjin's hand rubs up and down your back once, twice, before reassuring, "it's okay. Now it just means we get to bake together. Surely two people together can surpass one alone."

It's difficult to decide whether his proclamation was true or not when, an hour later, the cake is on the counter cooling, but there is an even bigger mess than before after Hyunjin started a flour fight. You had started to clean up, but he pulled you to the floor to join him in between his legs.

You're now sat with your back against his chest, his legs caging you in. His heart beats against your ribcage, blending with your own steady heart. His arms find their way around you and pulls you even closer to him. Subconsciously, your hands meet his to start playing with his fingers.

Flour still covers the counters and the floor and both of you, the dirty dishes lay out, and the cold items really should go back in the fridge soon, but neither of you care as you find peace in this new position on the floor. Hyunjin has taken to swaying you gently back and forth in his arms as he hums against your shoulder. It must be a new song. Your eyes start to droop as he lulls you to sleep.

Before he's completely successful, you tap his hand twice, silently requesting his full attention. He immediately stops humming and snuggles closer into you. You can't stop the giggles that escape you as he accidentally brushes the sensitive spots on your sides. He goes to pull more giggles out of you but you restrain his wrists before he could do so.

You relax back into him, fully letting him support your weight. It's quiet a beat more before you bring yourself to break the silence with a whisper. "Thank you, Jinnie."

He nuzzles even further into you, his cheek pressing against your own. You know if Han and Changbin were to come back to the dorm at this exact moment, they'd cringe at the way Hyunjin is causing your cheek to puff out unnaturally with his nuzzling. Normally, you would too, but Hyunjin has always been a source of comfort and you can't be bothered as long as he's here with you.

"mm, what for?" His voice matches your own whisper, not wanting to break the bubble the two of you have created.

"For going with the flow with me. For forgiving me so easily, even tho I ruined your birthday surprise. Thank you for continuing to go along with my whims even when I know you're tired and just want to go to bed. Thank you for being my Jinnie, my baby, my favorite person on this planet."

"Of course." He intertwines one of his hands with your own. "I'm grateful that you allow me to go along with your plans and be with you. I plan to do so for as long as you'll let me."

You can feel his heartbeat rise as he pauses from speaking, not just through his chest, but through the grip you still have around one of his wrists. You feel your own heart begin to pick up and the butterflies in your stomach take flight. The weight of this moment is crashing over the both of you and you're teetering on the edge of being fully consumed. When Hyunjin speaks next, it's so low, you're sure you only hear it because he's literally pressed to your ear.

"Thank you for letting me love you." As if it's possible, he squeezes his arms around you even tighter, grounding the violent storm of butterfly wings in your stomach. "Because I do. I love you so much. I thank God every day for bringing us together."

He's intentionally hid his face in the crook of your neck, but you need to see him in this moment. You need to see if he's falling over the edge into being consumed just like you are.

He tries to grip you harder when you go to turn, but you get him to let go long enough to turn in his lap, coming face to face with his shiny eyes. You cup his cheeks gently, then place featherlight kisses all over his face. First, you place one on his forehead, then his nose, then both his eyelids, then both of his cheeks. His eyes remain closed throughout the whole ordeal, but you watch the blush creep onto his cheeks.

While he can't see you, you find the courage to echo his feelings, "I love you too, Hyunjin. Thank you for letting me love you."

When his eyes open, it's with a tremble to his lips and glittery tears threatening to fall. Yet, you can't find a single lie when you look into the glittery brown. You press your foreheads together and close your own eyes as you feel your own tears well up. The two of you sit on the floor for a little while longer, holding each other, until Hyunjin starts to get antsy and wants to try the cake you made together.

You get up off of him and frost the cake as neatly as you can, making sure to put extra focus on the note of the cake: "Happy Birthday Jinnie ♡" His iconic eye smile graces his face when he comes up behind you and hugs you from behind. He leaves a kiss on your temple, the spot left tingling.

"Thank you for the best birthday ever."
