𝑺𝒐𝒐𝒃𝒊𝒏 didn't want to close his eyes, to let his tiredness take over him and force him into a deep slumber. he was afraid the moment he drifted to sleep, yeonjun would sneak his way out and leave him, and even if he understood they needed the time apart, letting the demon go was too hard. so he wanted to stay awake as long as possible, he wanted to feel every inch of the older skin beneath his fingertips and memorize exactly how the male's plump lips felt against his.

he wanted to spend every second he could with yeonjun, before having to spend every second without him.

the angel grazed his fingers gently through yeonjun's cheek, a tender look on his face as the king stared back at him. there was no need for words, both knew what that moment was and what it meant, both felt the love from each other and both secretly wished for the time to stop so getting separated would never actually happen. it wasn't sad, however, there wasn't any hint of sadness because they knew that even if being apart, they would still come together in the end, they knew they were meant for being with each other and therefore, would always find their way back to the other's arms. it wasn't sad because it wasn't a goodbye, it was a silent promise to wait.

yeonjun closed his eyes for a moment, just feeling how soft was the younger's touch on his face. he tried to memorize the sensation as best as he could, from the slide of soobin's fingers to the movement of his breathing. the demon was certain he had every little thing about the other guarded in his heart, he remembered even the faintest glisten of his eyes and the timbre of every emotion in his voice, but somehow, it never felt enough. yeonjun didn't want only memories of soobin in the past and moments in the present, he wanted the angel's future too. he wanted to be able to see and feel everything the angel would do and feel, every breath and every laugh. it was an impossible wish, he knew that too, but one he could never stop hoping for.

"what are you thinking about?" soobin asked softly, fingers still brushing over the other's skin as he did so. he could always tell when the older was lost in thoughts, yeonjun had the habit of furrowing slightly and touching his lips from time to time when doing so.

"you." the red haired opened his eyes, his gaze meeting the angel's one as a reminder for both of where home was. he smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind the male's ear before playing with the lobe gently. yeonjun had healed the taller's already, even if only enough for him to stop bleeding and not hurt from how aggressive he ended up being, and soobin was still sat on his lap comfortably, clearly not having any intentions to leave. "it's always about you."

"of course it is." soobin rolled his eyes before letting out a small giggle, laying his head on the demon's shoulder and nuzzling his nose on his neck. he brushed his fingertips gently on the other side, seeing the purple color that had started to appear there because of the bite. "isn't it hurting?"

"not really." it was a lie, of course the wound was hurting when the place was bitten so hardly and yeonjun didn't plan on healing it, but he didn't mind the pain and the angel would probably start to feel guilty about it if he told it was hurting. besides, it wasn't anything he couldn't manage, at least not compared to the pain he some times felt while in the training room.

"it looks bad, and painful." the black haired wasn't really fond of the idea of the king being in pain, way more because of him, but he couldn't lie and say he didn't like how apparent the bite was, nor how the message behind it was clear crystal for anyone who would see it. still, he was worried, the skin around the wound had already started to bruise and the marks of his teeth were clear and seemed deep. though, he knew yeonjun had healed it enough to not bleed anymore, so for that he was glad.
