D!CKHEAD | Lee Haechan

X's and O's

"What are you doing?" She asked, as she lied down on his mattress beside him, looking at him trying to fit a pillow between them

"This way we can sleep without—"

"Are you crazy? The bed is way too small to have a pillow in the middle" she said, grabbing the bolster pillow and chucking it off the bed away from their reach, lying back down comfortably. His lips parted at the action, looking at her with wide eyes at the thought of cuddling up next to her for the whole night.

"You know, they say sleeping naked is actually really good for the-"

"Arin, the park bench is really comfy. I'll even give you my pillow" he sighed and she chuckled, closing her eyes

"Just so you know, I didn't throw the spider out" he said, and her eyes burst open

"You mean its still alive?! And in here?!" She asked

"Mhmm, so you might want to keep your clothes on incase it BITES YOU!" Haechan shouted, clawing at her leg making her shriek and sit up

"Hyuck seriously! You're such an asshat!" She shouted back, punching his arm. A soft bang came from the other side of the wall, getting their attention

"Be quiet!" Jeno shouted from the other side and the two eventually got back under the bed covers

"Your puppy wants us to stay quiet" Haechan smirked, turning to face her

"He's not my anything" she said, rolling her eyes

"Yes yes, we could see that from the way you were both cuddling on the couch" he said with a scoff

"Jealous it wasn't you baby?" Arin teased with a smug voice and Haechan rolled his eyes at her

"Can I be the little spoon tonight?" She pouted, teasing him further and he looked like he was two seconds away from throwing her out the window

"It's not like I'm asking you to marry me dumbass, just lie down and hold me" she said, letting out an exasperated sigh as she turned away from him, not expecting him to follow through with her words. It took him a few seconds to process the fact that a part of him was somewhat okay with the idea of it.

"What do I do?" Haechan asked with a small boice from behind her, and she turned to him, eyebrows furrowed as she looked at his shy expression, realising she hadn't seen him this vulnerable before

"Uh...you don't have to, I was just messing" she said, turning away from him, laying her head on her had as she shut her eyes closed, trying to ignore the thumping in her chest which she was sure Haechan could hear, yet he was more concerned with his own.

"I wasn't." He admitted, yet to no response.

He laid back down on the bed beside her, reaching to turn of the lamp before he did so, staring back up at the ceiling as he heard the rhythm of her shallow breaths.

He shuffled in the bed, turning to be faced with her back, her soft skin exposed through the vest she had on. He bit his lip, contemplating his actions, wondering if this was even the right move, if he was okay with going past his strict boundaries. The truth was he was okay with it, for her. Because he knew he would be seeing her again, and again, and with the constant teasing, they couldn't hardly stay friends.

They could never be friends.

And with that realisation, his hand creeped its way onto her hip, following the curve of her torso as it rested on the dip made by her waist.

"I'm being serious, I want to cuddle" he admitted again with a more affirmative sentence, making her breath hitch in her throat, 'so much for a fear of intimacy' she thought. She took in a deep inhale before she shuffled back against him, her back meeting his and creating more warmth between the two.

His hand lightly trailed his slender fingers along the skin under her vest and laying flat against her stomach, getting her to be stuck to him, leaving no chance for space to be formed between them during the night.

"Are you comfortable?" She asked with a whisper, not being used to taking care of someone on this level before. He hummed lightly from behind her, fingers lightly playing with the hem of her top, eventually digging themselves under it to be met with the warmth of her skin instead

"Why do you hate cuddling so much?" She asked, but was met with nothing more than silence from his end. She turned around go face him, wondering if he was asleep already but his eyes were lowered, and he slowly looked up to meet hers.

"Turn back around...your breath stinks" Haechan teased and she rolled her eyes, listening to his words, which he didn't expect. He only ended up stopping her movement and keep her body facing him

"I'm kidding, it smells like daisies and vanilla" he chuckled, seeing her close her eyes, not up for putting up a fight with him this late into the night. Although she could fully sense him staring at her even if her eyes were closed shut

"You're staring at me!" She whined

"I'm not!" He argued

"You totally are!"

"I promise I'm not"

"I can sense-"

And that's all it took for Haechan to peck his lips against hers quickly, feeling a number of uncomfortable emotions explode in his stomach as he processed what he did and what entity possessed him to do such a thing. He pulled back from the kiss before she could even think about it, and her eyes shot wide as she propped herself up with her elbows on the bed

"Did you just-"

"No."

Arin narrowed her eyes at him regardless of how dark the room was and his cheeks heated up, realising the aftermath of his actions wasn't going to be as good as he thought...that was until—

"You really want me to be your first kiss?" She asked, feeling a sense of care spurt out with her words and he bit his lower lip, not knowing exactly how to respond to that question

"Yeah I guess" he shrugged, trying to mask the uncomfortableness in his voice

"You guess...or you're sure?" She asked, lowering herself to hover on top of him, and now he truly was at a loss for words.

But his body spoke a better language than his tongue ever did. His hand reached up behind her head, entangling itself in her blonde strands, skilfully turning them around so he now hovered on top of her. She felt his hot breath on her lips and the hair almost stood up in anticipation.

"I'm sure."
