(content warning: make out scene. there will be a second warning for when the scene starts.)

after about a half an hour drive, seonghwa pulled up to a restaurant that hongjoong had never seen. the boys unbuckled their seatbelts and stepped out of the car after seonghwa had turned the vehicle off, hongjoong looking up at the sign with doe eyes.

"carbone? i've never heard of this place. i'm so excited!" hongjoong cheered and seonghwa smiled widely at how adorable hongjoong acted when he was excited.

"it's a really fancy italian restaurant. the original restaurant opened all the way in new york, a state in america. it got so popular that the owner opened a few places all around the world, even opening one here in korea!" seonghwa explained and hongjoong nodded his head, seeming very interested with the restaurant's history. seonghwa grabbed onto the younger's hand and guided him inside the restaurant, stopping at the front desk before taking a seat.

"hello, welcome to carbone! what's your reservation under?" the woman behind the counter asked after she greeted the two boys who had walked in.

"park seonghwa for two." seonghwa answered and she nodded her head, looking down at the long list of names she had written down and smiling widely.

"your table is actually ready right now. let me bring you over." she said and waved her hand, taking the two boys to a seat in the back of the restaurant. the boys took their seats and hongjoong bounced in his chair, smiling ear to ear.

"thank you miss!" hongjoong thanked the girl as she bowed respectfully to the couple.

"you're welcome, sweetie. have a great night!" she waved goodbye and walked away from the boys, making her way back to the front of the restaurant.

"wow, this place is really fancy! is it expensive? it seems expensive." hongjoong asked as he looked at all the people in the room with them, seeing a lot of older people with tons of designer clothing and the smell of overly priced perfume invading his nostrils.

"it's pretty expensive, but you're worth every penny." seonghwa smiled and put his hand out on the table for hongjoong to hold onto, the younger immediately taking it in his own.

"hello and welcome to carbone! my name is grace and i will be your server today. can i start you boys with something to drink?" a chirpy girl came up to them with a proper greeting. the girl was petite, but looked at least five years older than the boys sitting at the table.

"yes please. can i have an unsweetened iced tea?" seonghwa asked and she nodded her head yes, turning her head to face hongjoong to hear what he'd like.

"can i also have iced tea? but make it sweetened, please! i love sugar!" hongjoong giggled as he spoke and the woman placed her hand over her heart, cooing at the boy's adorable behavior.

"of course. i'll be right back with your drinks and then i'll take your orders." she bowed before disappearing into the kitchen that wasn't too far from the boy's seats.

"by the way, i forgot to tell you before how much i love that outfit. i love how matching sets look on you." seonghwa spoke as he continued holding onto hongjoong's hand, smiling widely as he did so.

hongjoong blushed a deep shade of red. he was wearing a one piece brown plaid set with black doc martins. he accentuated his curves by adding a belt, showing off his tiny waist perfectly.

"it's actually a one piece outfit, but thank you anyway!" hongjoong corrected the boy and seonghwa chuckled in response.

"i'm sorry, i'm not as into fashion as you are. all i know is that you look absolutely beautiful." seonghwa said and hongjoong covered his face in embarrassment. seonghwa quickly moved hongjoong's hand off of his face, "don't cover your face when i compliment you, you truly are the most beautiful human being i've ever seen in my entire life."

"thank you seongie." hongjoong responded kindly.

"you're welcome joongie. i love you." seonghwa said as he squeezed hongjoong's hand tightly, hongjoong just smiled back, still not completely ready to say the three words back to the older.

"so, what are you gonna eat? i don't know what to choose, i've never had such fancy food in my entire life!" hongjoong said as he looked down at the menu in amazement. seonghwa laughed and picked up his own menu, letting go of hongjoong's hand in the process to read the choices.

"the spicy rigatoni is absolutely incredible here, it's one of their signature dishes. i think i'll get that." seonghwa responded and hongjoong scrunched his nose in disgust.

"ew, i hate spicy food! they burn my tongue.'" hongjoong said and seonghwa shook his head at the adorable boy.

"it's pretty much just vodka sauce but with a bit of a kick." seonghwa explained and hongjoong continued to shake his head.

"no! i love vodka sauce, but not spicy! maybe i'll ask our server if i can have it without spice, if not, i'll get..." hongjoong looked down at the menu, "i'll get spaghetti with tomato sauce!"

"perfect idea." seonghwa smiled and put down the menu.

grace came back with the two drinks and set them down in front of the boys. she then opened up her notepad to write down their orders.

"so what can i get for you lovely gentlemen?" she asked with a kind smile.

"i'll get the spicy rigatoni please." seonghwa asked politely and grace wrote down his order.

"and for you?" she turned to hongjoong and asked.

"is there a way i can get the spicy rigatoni without the spice? i can't handle spice at all!" hongjoong giggled out and grace frowned

"i'm so sorry love, but the rigatoni sauce is made with spice. is there anything else you'd like?" she asked and hongjoong waved her off.

"no worries! i'll just get the spaghetti with tomato sauce." hongjoong said and grace wrote down the orders.

"i'll take your menus now." grace said and seonghwa collected the two menus and handed it to the young lady.

before grace could walk off, hongjoong quickly stopped her in her tracks, "oh, miss!" hongjoong called out.

"yes sweetie?" she quickly turned around and smiled.

"can i have meatballs too? i love meatballs!" hongjoong cheered and grace nodded her head, opening her notepad again to write down hongjoong's updated order.

"that's no problem. the food will be out shortly." grace bowed and walked off for good this time, leaving hongjoong and seonghwa alone at the table.

"seongie, you didn't need to take me out to such an expensive restaurant. i would've been ok with just having strawberries in your house!" hongjoong said and seonghwa shook his head.

"no way. what i did to you was so wrong, hongjoong. you don't understand how horrible i feel about it. i honestly still can't believe i even did that... i had no right to hurt you that way. i thought i had changed, but i guess i was wrong. i was still an idiot." seonghwa spilled out, his heart breaking as he spoke about their previous situation once again.

"well... let's hope you don't go back to your idiotic ways ever again. i mean it when i say i won't accept another apology from you." hongjoong pointed a finger at seonghwa and he chuckled, putting his arms up in defense.

"there will never be another apology because there will never be another heartbreak, and i mean that. after hurting you last time and realizing that my feelings for you were true love, i promised myself that i'll never hurt you again. and this time, i'm keeping that promise." seonghwa spoke honestly and hongjoong smiled.

"yeah, you better keep that promise! i won't hesitate to break your heart back!" hongjoong exclaimed, trying his best to put on an angry face. seonghwa just laughed at his attempt and put his hand out for the younger to grab onto again.

"i swear, if i ever hurt you again, i give you full permission to break my heart." seonghwa smiled as he rubbed his thumb across hongjoong's hand in a comforting manner.

after about a twenty minute wait, grace came back to the table with two plates filled with pasta. the boys smiled and made room in front of them for grace to put down the plates.

"ok, spicy rigatoni for you and spaghetti with meatballs for you." grace put down the two plates with a smile.

"thank you." seonghwa thanked the girl and picked up his fork.

"by the way, i don't mean to intrude but... are you guys a couple?" grace asked, hoping not to step over any boundaries. seonghwa didn't mind at all and smiled widely at the girl as hongjoong hid his face in embarrassment.

"i mean, sort of. i haven't asked him to be my boyfriend yet, but when that day comes, i hope he'll say yes." seonghwa answered the girl and put his hand out again for hongjoong to grab onto.

"isn't that the cutest thing! before i got a job here, i used to come all the time with my girlfriend lisa. i wish the best for you two, you guys are such a cute couple!" grace complimented the two boys with a smile.

"thank you." seonghwa thanked the girl before she walked off and made her way to help another table of costumers.

"she's really sweet." hongjoong commented as he picked up his fork and seonghwa nodded his head in agreement.

"she is, and i love that she openly told us that she has a girlfriend." seonghwa mentioned and hongjoong agreed with him.

"me too. ok, now let's eat! i'm starving." hongjoong screamed out and began digging in messily, slurping up the noodles like no one else was around.

"baby, slower! the food isn't going anywhere!" seonghwa chuckled out and the boy cowered into himself a bit, quickly wiping his face with a napkin so he could take another bite of his delicious pasta.

——

"hongjoong, i've missed you so much!" seonghwa's mother greeted the boy as him and seonghwa walked into the park family home.

"hi sunhee! i've missed you too!" hongjoong cheered out and ran into the woman's open arms, hugging her tightly.

"wow, it seems like you missed my mother more than you missed me." seonghwa chuckled at the sight in front of him.

"well your mother also didn't break my heart." hongjoong sassily fired back as he broke the hug between him and the woman.

"i'm sorry seonghwa, he's kind of got you there." seonghwa's mom laughed and agreed with hongjoong's statement.

"yeah yeah yeah, i get it. continue bullying me." seonghwa playfully rolled his eyes at the duo who teamed up against him.

"i will, i have every right to." hongjoong said with his chin up and arms crossed.

"once again, i gotta agree with my joongie here." sunhee pointed to the boy with a smile as seonghwa grabbed hongjoong by the hand.

"yes, i know you like hongjoong more than me but may i please get some alone time with him now?" seonghwa asked and his mother nodded her head with a laugh.

"of course, go have fun. i'll see you boys later!" she waved goodbye to the two as seonghwa took a giggling hongjoong to his bedroom.

seonghwa opened his bedroom door and hongjoong walked inside the room, making his way straight to seonghwa's bed. seonghwa closed the door behind them, locking it just in case anyone barged inside.

"so, what would you like to do?" seonghwa asked as he took a seat next to the smaller boy on his bed.

"hmmm..." hongjoong began thinking, "how about we watch a movie!"

"great idea!" seonghwa agreed and stood up to grab his computer. he opened it up and turned the device on, letting it start up after a whole day of not using it.

"anything in particular you want to watch?" seonghwa asked and hongjoong began thinking.

"how about this is us? it's a movie about a boy band called one direction! it's in english though, but netflix has subtitles for it!" hongjoong suggested, remembering that netflix put out a statement saying that the movie about his favorite boy band would be released today.

"that's perfectly fine with me." seonghwa leaned over and placed a kiss on the boy's cheek as he opened netflix on his laptop. he quickly typed in the movie title and pressed play, making sure to put korean subtitles so the boys could understand what the members were saying.

"do you think we can lay down as we watch it? it's more comfortable that way." hongjoong asked and seonghwa nodded his head yes.

"great idea." seonghwa smiled as he moved and placed his laptop on his bedside table. since the table was on the bed's left, he allowed hongjoong to lay to the left of him so he had a better view of the screen. the boys laid on their sides as they watched.

as the movie continued on for a bit, seonghwa began spooning the boy beside him. hongjoong leaned into the cuddle, snuggling himself further into seonghwa's warm chest.

"seongie, i love cuddling with you." hongjoong spoke up as he continued reading the subtitles in front of him.

"and i love you, period." seonghwa responded and gave the boy a quick kiss on the cheek.

(content warning: make out scene.)

if seonghwa was being honest, he wasn't really paying any sort of attention to the movie hongjoong chose for them to watch. he was way too distracted by the boy laying in front of him, their bodies being pressed up against each other so closely.

without thinking about it, seonghwa began running his fingers down hongjoong's side. hongjoong shuddered a bit under his touch but said nothing about, enjoying the feeling of seonghwa's hands touching up on his body.

seonghwa then leaned into hongjoong's neck and gave the soft skin innocent pecks. hongjoong's breath hitched as the boy continued kissing his sensitive skin, allowing seonghwa to continue doing as he pleased to his body.

eventually, seonghwa began lightly sucking on an area right below hongjoong's ear. hongjoong let out an almost inaudible moan, loving the foreign feeling that was building up in his stomach.

"s-seonghwa, what are you doing?" hongjoong whispered out with a bit of a stutter.

"loving you the way you deserve to be loved." seonghwa answered as he quickly flipped the boy's body underneath his own and connected their lips.

hongjoong's eyes widened at first but he quickly began kissing back, closing his eyes and following seonghwa's lead. seonghwa kissed hongjoong hard, his kiss filled with a mixture of love and lust.

seonghwa lifted hongjoong's body a bit so the younger's back would be pressured up against his bed frame. seonghwa straddled hongjoong's body, deepening the kiss by placing his hand behind hongjoong's neck. much to seonghwa's surprise, hongjoong stuck his tongue out a bit in an attempt to ask for entrance. seonghwa accepted, opening his mouth and adding tongue into hongjoong's as well.

their tongues fought for dominance but seonghwa ultimately won, hongjoong allowing the boy to completely take over their kiss. seonghwa eventually broke away and began kissing all around hongjoong's face, leading from the corner of his mouth, to his cheek, to his nose, and even down his neck a bit.

"hmph, u-uh..." hongjoong quietly moaned as seonghwa kissed the sensitive area of his neck again, unable to control the grunts from coming out of his mouth.

"you like that baby?" seonghwa asked as he lustfully looked up into hongjoong's eyes.

"y-yeah." hongjoong stuttered out, feeling slightly embarrassed as he spoke.

seonghwa kissed back up hongjoong's neck to his lips and forcefully flipped their bodies over so hongjoong could straddle him. hongjoong sat on top of the boy's body, his legs spread on either side of seonghwa's body.

the two boys continued kissing each other hard. seonghwa once again deepened the kiss by applying a bit of pressure to the back of hongjoong's neck, pushing the younger in closer to his body.

the feeling in hongjoong's stomach never left, the foreign feeling building up more and more as their makeout session continued on. suddenly, he felt something hard and sensitive in his pants that he'd never felt before.

as he straddled seonghwa's body, he felt his hard member rub against seonghwa's equally hard member. the feeling was incredible, something hongjoong had never experienced before.

the boy didn't completely know what he was doing but he began slowly grinding down on seonghwa's member, the action being completely involuntary. as soon as seonghwa felt the grind, he realized that they needed to stop what they were doing. he figured hongjoong was probably very innocent and inexperienced, and seonghwa knew he didn't want to take anything further with the boy unless they had a serious discussion about it.

seonghwa backed away from hongjoong and lightly flipped him to his side and kissed him slowly to ease the sexual tension in the room. eventually, seonghwa completely backed away from the younger. the boys laid sideways on seonghwa's bed, both sweaty and panting messes as they stared into each other's eyes.

"wow." hongjoong spoke up first and immediately hid his face in his hands. seonghwa pulled his hands away from his face and stared into his eyes once again.

"don't cover your beautiful face from me, my love. i want to see you." seonghwa said quietly as he held onto hongjoong's wrists.

"i've never done anything like that in my life." hongjoong innocently smiled as he looked into seonghwa's eyes.

"and look, you were a natural. that was incredible, joongie. i love you so much." seonghwa leaned down and placed a small, but loving peck on the boy's lips.

"thank you, i really enjoyed it." hongjoong replied with a giggle.

"so did i." seonghwa said as he playfully rolled on top of hongjoong's body and back to his original spot on the other side of the bed.

"ow! what was that for!" hongjoong laughed after seonghwa practically crushed his body. seonghwa just placed an arm around the boy and smiled innocently, turning his attention back to the movie that was playing throughout the entire makeout session.

"shhh, i'm watching a movie here! be respectful!" seonghwa jokingly shushed the boy as he furrowed his eyebrows, making hongjoong roll his eyes in response.

"you're so lucky you're cute." hongjoong replied and rewound the movie a bit as seonghwa nuzzled into the younger's neck, hugging him tightly with a smile on his face.
