"Yah, Seungmin. Let's go camping?" Jeongin asked, peeking from the doorway to Seungmin's study room.
Seungmin had finals soon, why would he go camping? He'd been holed up in room studying on most days only leaving for important necessities. Did he need to study so late into the night or for so many hours? No not really, but he gets obsessed easily.
Seungmin turned in his desk chair to look at his lover, Jeongin. Seungmin started feeling down thinking about how he had probably been neglecting his lover. Maybe that's the reason Jeongin had even offered to go camping.
It was quite out of the blue actually. Jeongin would always complain about being outside, mostly about the mosquitoes and the farness from society. It was contrary to Seungmin's thoughts, he enjoyed the peacefulness of nature and the farness of society. Sure, mosquitoes sucked but that was easily cured by using repellent.
"Camping? Do you even know how?" Seungmin questioned with a hint of teasing.
"Eh no, but I'm sure you'll search it later." The other shrugged.
Seungmin smiled with his eyes, the other was right. He rubbed the sleep away before nodding at the younger. A break shouldn't hurt him.
"As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. Did you prepare everything or should I also help with that?" Seungmin interogatted again while turning off all of his equipment.
"Yes dad, jeez. I'm not as useless as you think. I also have your stuff so hurry up and get in the car." Jeongin said, getting annoyed.

Road trips were fun of course, until it started raining. Seungmin didn't mind the rain, he actually loved it. But this rain couldn't be even considered rain, it was pouring. Like thunderstorm pouring. They hadn't even been able to arrive at the camp site instead parking at one of those highway rest stops. There were plenty of other cars there. The road were still drivable, but with Jeongin driving they didn't want to risk it.
"Maybe your frowning is causing the rain." Jeongin joked, head resting on the window.
"Maybe it's your pessimism." Seungmin fired back.
"Excuse me, what? I am a literal sunshine."
"Don't try to take Felix's title."
Seungmin laughed quietly, letting the conversation drop and listening to the music fill the background. It made him emotional, not the music but more like how it became. Back then when he was only "Jeongin's Uber", Jeongin would get exsaprated at his music choices. Later their relationship had turned longterm so they decided on creating a disc with their favorite music.
It turned out they did have around the same taste and the Jeongin back then was just an attention seeker. Seungmin didn't mind, though the song disc was growing a bit old.
"Isn't it like only 10 mintues from here? It'll stop soon anyways." Seungmin spoke up, suddenly regretting not checking his weather app.
"Sure," Jeongin started, turning the car engine on. "but if it doesn't, you owe me 10."
"Fine." Seungmin responded already drowsy. He closed his eyes finally, he felt the all-nighters coming back to bite him within a second.

"Seungminnie? Puppy? Yah Seungmin wake up!" He felt someone shake him violently awake. Way to ruin his slumber
"Did you just call me puppy?" Seungmin's eyes suddenly opened at the realization.
"No? Your old ears must have heard it wrong." A clearly embarrassed Jeongin turned away to probably pull himself together. "Anyways. Give it over, 10 bucks. It's still raining."
"Okay. First of all, I am barely over a year older than you? There isn't really a secondly, but sure it's in my wallet." Seungmin responded before it took him another second to digest the statement.
He looked over towards Jeongin whose eyes were faraway and looking at nothing in particular. Bless the younger's pure heart, but it was very clear he was stuck up in his mind most likely thinking things way to deeply and if not stopped than it could even lead to another PTSD episode. Maybe it was weird, but in these moments, Seungmin liked to stare at the other. Think about the past and how cruel the world had been to such a baby fox. Maybe it was weird and maybe he should helping instead of being in his own mind aswell, but the therapist had also said Jeongin should puzzle his own thoughts together.
But he was weak towards his little fox anyways.
"Hey. You know its alright, right? We have the all we need here, we have eachother. We can chill here until it's over." Seungmin said quietly while trying to meet eyes with the other. "You tired? We can cuddle in the back if you want?"
The look will never get old. Seungmin saw how all the life came back to Jeongin. He saw how the younger blinked, Seungmin didn't even have to look to be able to know how many times he did it. Its long since been ingravid into his skull. Blink, Blink, Blink-Blink.
He gets it, he's a simp. Although he'll never admit it to Minho.
Jeongin stared at him for a bit, probably debating if his own pride was worth over wants. "Sure, just don't make it weird." He finally responded, unlocking his seatbelt.
"Jeongin, what weird we're literally dating? Or in whatever relationship that includes skins hip you'd like to call it." Seungmin teased back lightly, placing a kiss on his lovers lips. Just because he can.
If the cuddling leads to something more, who is he to complain?
