Honestly, Jaemin didn't expect anything much today, in a good way.

He had thought it would be the usual: him waiting for Jeno's last period to finish and they would go on an after school date or something.

Especially when today is his day off, he's low-key excited to see his boyfriend and pull him in a tight hug while peppering him with kisses, doesn't matter where they are.

He decided to come to Jeno's school early, minutes before the last bell would ring. Standing there outside their school's main gates like a moron if Donghyuck had seen him.

However, once a stampede of students rush out the main building to either the open field or crossing the gates, Jaemin tries his very best to find his boyfriend amongst them.

He ignores some gazes that were either filled with interest, annoyance, confusion, curiosity or flirt. About to scream for his boyfriend's name if it weren't for his vision suddenly getting blocked.

He raises a brow against the hands covering his eyes, ears twitching when he hears a soft giggle behind him.

He quickly takes the hands off and turns to see Jeno standing before him. However, the latter's appearance has his jaw drop, almost choking on air while at it.

"Are you okay?" Jeno asks, pretending to be innocent and oblivious (maybe he is, doesn't realize the affect he has on Jaemin) while his lips were curled up into an amused smirk.

Jaemin swallows, "yeah..." Eyes twitching, he then croaks, "your hair..." Jeno makes a sound at that as he continues. "You dyed your hair."

"Yeah, I did." Jeno beams, smiling so beautifully it adds so much affect towards an already flustered Jaemin. Heart beating faster just by that sweet smile.

"Don't tell me you're so shocked by it." A chuckle escapes Jeno's lips. "It's not even an extreme color. It's basic brown." He quips.

Jaemin blinks furiously and shakes his head in disagreement, "are you kidding? Just because it's not an exaggerated or really obvious color change doesn't mean it doesn't shock me."

"I didn't expect you to do it so soon too." He adds a little more calmly.

Jeno shrugs his shoulders with a tiny smile to one corner of his lips, "well, I decided to do it since my grandparents already know what's up. And since they're leaving soon... What's there to hide?"

"And besides, my mom has our back." He winks playfully, eliciting a laugh from Jaemin.

The latter then pulls him closer by the arm, inspecting the new hair color on him more closely before mumbling. "I like it."

"You do?" Jeno perks up, Jaemin fights back a coo bubbling up in his throat.

"Mhm." Humming attentively, his gaze lowers down to meet Jeno's. "It's simple and good for your first time, I'm no hairstylist but I like it on you."

Framing Jeno's jaw with his free hand, he smiles widely. "You look very handsome."

"So do you." Jeno blushes from both the compliment by Jaemin and his own.

Jaemin chuckles, "I know." Winking teasingly, Jeno huffs and smacks his stomach in return. "By the way, how did you even sneak pass me?"

Jaemin wonders how did Jeno manage to surprise him with his presence when he was literally standing there by the main gate.

The now brunet boy snickers, "Donghyuck and Yangyang may or may not know a few tricks."

"Oh my goodness, you little devil." Jaemin says but cackles at the end. "Somehow, I'm okay with this new side of you– just don't entirely change yourself for anything and anyone, though."

Now cupping Jeno's face, he kisses him on the nose. "I like you for being you. As long as no one gets hurt, I fucking love you."

Jeno smiles back and places his hands on Jaemin's, "likewise," thumbs rubbing gently on the back of his hands, "I fucking love you too." Both of them giggle at his words.

"What are you two giggling about?" They snap their heads to the newcomer's way and smiles stupidly at the tanned male.

"Whatever, you guys wanna come with me to meet up with Renjun?" He dismisses them before they could even respond, tugging on his backpack strap.

Jaemin eyes at him teasingly, "oh, a double date?" He sneers.

"Call it whatever the hell you want, just know I'm not the one paying." Donghyuck shrugs nonchalantly.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't get your hopes up, we're just going to the arcade." Donghyuck grumbles to which the couple snicker at, assuming he probably made a deal with Renjun and ended up losing.

"It's okay, Hyuckie," Jeno reassures him, bringing out his nice side and flashes him a sweet eyesmile. "We have school tomorrow anyway, let's not tire ourselves."

"This is one of those rare times I appreciate this side of you, babe." Donghyuck sighs in defeat before gesturing for them to follow him.

"Wow, Jeno, I like the new hair color!" Renjun compliments wholeheartedly as he reaches to play with Jeno's locks gently.

Donghyuck huffs behind him, "you're never that nice to me."

"Because you're not nice to me, I'm just returning the favor, love." The elder boy sneers as he shares a welcoming hug with the couple.

"I don't think I can stay that long by the way, I still have stuff to do later." Jeno says with a sheepish smile.

He already informed Tiffany on his after school plans, his sweet mother wishing him the best and reminding him he shouldn't take too long as well.

"That's okay, we have two or three hours to spend." Renjun pats him on the shoulder as he links arms with him. "Mind if I borrow your boyfriend for a minute, Jaem?"

The pink haired boy frowns at him, "obviously I do.... This is supposed to be a double date, and Jeno's my boyfriend."

Renjun rolls his eyes, "fine, just say you're jealous and possessive too while at it."

"I'm jealous and possessive," Jaemin parrots with no shame. Crossing his arms as Renjun gently nudges Jeno towards the pink haired boy.

Jeno blushes madly, feeling giddy for some reason all because of this side of Jaemin.

Clearing his throat, he ignores the heat on his cheeks and says: "It's okay, Renjun, we can hangout by ourselves one day." Jeno winks at him.

Snickering, the elder boy nods at him before they start exploring the arcade.
