Work Text:
They were watching a movie late at night. All the doors to different rooms were closed, everybody was soundly sleeping after a long, lazy day. All but two bodies that were cuddled close together, watching a random movie on TV. The ship was comfortably quiet with a soft chatter coming from the cheesy romance show. MK cuddled closer to Red Son, trying to get more comfortable in his position. Laying on his boyfriend was very cozy, but getting a sore butt from it wasn’t exactly ideal. He could feel Red Son also adjusting his posture as he also felt a breath tickle the back of his neck. The movie kept playing, the two main characters dancing in the rain, enveloping the room in soft pitter-patter of rain.
MK looked down, inspecting his and Red’s intertwined hands. If you asked him when that happened he would not be able to answer you. Their relationship considered of soft, random touches as if to tell each other that they’re there for each other. Whenever they were together, and they were always close together, you could see a hand reaching the others hand, arm or even leg. Sometimes it was their tails touching the other if they were in their demon bull/monkie forms. Even if that scenario was rare on its own. But either way, they were always touching. Always. So much so that they barely register it anymore.
The one thing MK will never get used to is the feeling of soft kissed being given in random moments. Red absolutely adored to give him kisses. Whenever it would be a kiss on his cheek, forehead or even a little peck on his lips, he would never ever get tired of it. MK was like a drug he could not stop taking. And he would never ever stop. Kissing the top of his head was a favourite though. Being taller than his boyfriend has many of other perks, but this one is one of them. The radiant smile he received after was the best reward he could ever even get. He squeezed his hand that was holding MK’s hand. In response MK turned his body to the side to give Red Son a kiss in return.
Growing up with power driven parents made Red Son very bad at asking for things. Yes, he demanded a lot of things, but that made simply asking much harder. It took him way too long to ask MK to kiss him and would take even longer if MK didn’t notice this same issue. So they made a little code: if Red wanted a kiss but wanted to ask first, he squeezed MK’s hand as a little plead. It always made MK’s heart beat a little faster.
Their bodies cuddled impossibly closer together, Red squeezed his arms more, pulling MK impossibly closer as a kiss was placed on his lips. His eyes closed, his lips enjoying the feeling of his partners soft lips against his own. They moved against each other, savouring the cozy feeling that settled in their chests upon the contact. MK’s body twisted again, never once breaking the kiss, he now faced Red Son, legs thrown over Red’s, sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around his lovers neck, still enjoying their ever lasting kiss.
Red Son pulled his hands lower, letting them sit nicely on MK’s waist as he broke the kiss. MK could feel one more kiss being pressed against the bridge of his nose before he opened his eyes to look at his beautiful boyfriend, who was now hiding in the crook of his neck. “Where did that come from, hmm?” he smiled softly as Red Son squeezed his waist more, pulling him even closer.
“I just missed you.” he whispered against his neck.
“Oh reeeallyyyy?” hearing the smile in MK’s words made him really embarrassed now. “Well I really do get that, love. You’ve been soooooo lonely while we’ve been cuddling aaall day, right? It just had to be soooooo hard for you-” he was disturbed by Red kissing him. The kiss broke off very soon after that as MK started laughing. “Oh come on Red! Can’t be embarrased with THAT reason!” he giggled even more as he looked down on his brooding boyfriend. His cheeks were flustered with deep red and his lips were curved in a small pout, making him look tern times more adorable than usual. “Oh don’t look at me like that you little puppy!” he said as he kissed his boyfriends button nose.
Red grumbled more as he pushed his face on MK’s chest. “I can’t help myself from missing you even if we are so close together. I... I just miss you all the time.” MK’s hands moved away from his neck and he could feel them snaking their way to his face. Hands were now holding his face, pulling his it out from his chest to look into his eyes. Right into those beautiful, wonderful eyes.
“Hey, none of that, don’t hide from me baby. I wanna see you.” smile grew on his face when Reds eye didn’t leave his own. “I love you so, so much, and I am so glad that you told me this. But I am here, and I will always be here. That also means that I don’t want you feeling this way, love. Im not going anywhere, okay?” he kissed him once more. “You gotta tell me when you feel like this, so I can make you not feel like that, okay baby?” Another kiss. “And if you don’t know how, just squeeze my hand twice, okay?” Another kiss.
“Okay.” Another kiss, this time longer, deeper. It has a meaning behind it, a promise.
“So, is there something that I can do that will make you stop feeling that way?” he asked, looking into Red’s eyes instead of kissing him again, which seemed to upset Red Son. Taking MK’s hand into his own as he forced himself against MK’s lips, kissing him with a little “Hmmp-!” from MK as he quickly closed his eyes. The kiss deepened as they moved their lips against each other. Neither of them paid attention as the ending scene started playing on the TV. They were captured in their own world of affection. They rolled in the moment, loving the closeness it brought. The kiss broke off once more, letting them catch their breath as they sat together.
“Just... this. I just need to be close to you. I need you to pay all your attention to me,, Is-is that weird or...”
“No- baby no, it’s not weird at all.” MK moved his body away from Red Son, even with the protest coming from him. “Darling its okay to feel like that! Theres nothing that I would mind. I love you and I will do anything for you! I can’t have you feeling like this, and I cant have you doubting yourself like that!” He stared at Reds wide eyes before kissing him once more. “If you need something like this then you can’t be ashamed! If You are then I would be ashamed of myself for being a terrible boyfriend for leaving you feeling like this!” There was another kiss coming from MK. Even if Red Son felt paralyzed with his outburst, he still kissed back. He could feel MK calming down throughout the kiss. Now when the kiss broke off, he rested his forehead against Red’s forehead. His eyes were still closed as he simply breathed. The atmosphere was still tense.
“MK you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can’t even imagine what I would do without you. And with that i just,, don’t want to disappoint you, you know? But I also don’t want you to feel like this because of me. I am so sorry I didn’t say anything earlier about this. I know that I must have hurt you with this and I am so sorry. You are the best lover i could ever have, you can never dissapoint me-” A kiss interrupted his speech once again. He lifted his arm up from its position on MK’s waist to his cheek as he deepened the kiss. Passion from their conversation transferred into the kiss as MK cuddled closer to his lover, letting their kisses calm down their racing minds. The kiss lasted longer than ever before they broke off in giggles, whispering soft “I love you”’s against each other, kissing all over each other's faces as giggles take over the majority of sound across the room.
They stayed close together for the rest of the night, not even leaving the living room as they unravelled a blanket to throw across their bodies to finally fall asleep after a long, long night. They kept on talking, occasionally giving and receiving more kisses, and they cuddled closer together before MK fell asleep during a rant. Red Son stayed up a little longer, admiring his lovers peaceful face, before joining him in the land of dreams.
Their friends let them sleep throughout the morning, sensing the need for each other even when they slept. Even if Mei couldn’t help herself and take a few photos of her best friends sleeping soundly. They woke up on their own, bodies aching from the tight space on the couch. But their minds were at peace as they kept close together for the rest of the day, letting their minds at peace.
