Die Trying - Michl

Minho was seconds away from passing out asleep.

Not even close, he almost did a few times, can't lie there, especially since he's laying down rather than sitting.

On Jeongguk's bed, Minho and Jeongguk laid on their stomach while discussing the homework questions, but Minho didn't have the head or mental energy to even continue.

But Jeongguk is definitely a motivator because he didn't let Minho catch a shut eye until they were finished.

An hour later, they finally got through entire homework sheet.

Minho nearly fucking cries by the time he finished, throwing the damn sheet in the air and drops his head on the bed, groaning.

"I can finally sleep!"

Jeongguk glances to the man, chuckling softly while he organizes his homework sheets in a folder and set it aside, "Sleep."

Minho lazily smiles to this and peers his eyes to the ravenette, watching as he still remains laid down with his phone out as he scrolls through social media. Playfully Minho edges closer to him, resting the side of his face against his shoulder to peer at his screen.

Jeongguk didn't seem to mind, still proceeding to scroll through until he came up upon a video, which what seems to be a herd of zebras crossing a creek.

A cute smile immediately fixes Jeongguk's lips, especially as the focus shifts to the baby zebra at the end of the herd. Minho glances to the bunny smile on the boy and pinches his cheek, watching the video with him, more entertained by Jeongguk's reaction than the video itself.

And his smile immediately drops once he caught the logo to the corner of the screen, from where this video is from.

Animal Planet.

Minho's entire face falls as the screen now shows a crocodile swimming along the same creek as the zebras.

Oh no.

In panic Minho glances to an attentive Jeongguk and suddenly chuckles, reaching for the phone, "That's enough videos for today haha, we should get to sleep, it's late."

"Wait but the zebras-"

Minho now eagerly reaches for the phone, but Jeongguk holds it away as he continues to watch the video with glittering eyes when the video panned back to the baby zebra swimming the creek happily behind the mother.

A bit more aggressively, Minho goes for the phone, but Jeongguk shoves him back and adoring chuckles when the zebra's head peaks from the creek as it swims to the other side -

Jeongguk's smile falls.

In dread Minho drops his head, just as the crocodile got to the baby zebra and practically snapped it in half with its mouth.

He should've just snatched the damn phone -

A weak wheeze suddenly reaches his ears, lifting his head up to see a sight that broke his heart into pieces.

Aw no....

Oh no....

Jeongguk dropped his phone of the bed, face twisting and red immediately with his wobbling pout and automatic tears swimming his eyes.

And he sobs painfully, like a small child.

"Aw no," Minho coes, reaching over to him and immediately wraps his arms around his shoulders, "No don't cry. The video seemed old."

"B-But the b-baby Zebra never g-got to the m-mother," Jeongguk wails, hands to his eyes as he cries hysterically, "I-It was a baby! Needed time t-to grow."

Minho smiles to the boy's pure little heart, squeezing him in his embrace, "That's what we call natural selection and survival of the fittest."

"Well...... I-It's stupid."

Adoring Minho chuckles and climbs on him, resting his chin on his shoulder with a pout, especially when Jungkook just slumps on the bed with a pout that Minho can clearly see from the side of his face.

So he pokes on his bottom lip, pouting himself, "No more pouting."

"No."

"Jeongguk," Minho singings between a giggle, observing Jeongguk's heavy pout with his eyebrows nit together in clear signs that he's still upset, "Don't worry. If I ever see that in person, I'll wrestle the crocodile."

Snapping his eyes to Minho resting on his shoulder, he frowns deeper, "B-But then crocodile can kill you and -"

Immediately he starts to cry again.

He's so sensitive.

Minho coes again and shields his body with his own, using one hand to caress his growing long hair, "Don't cry, it's okay. I'm still here."

"T-Then crocodile will eat you and then I won't s-see you again-" Jeongguk in panic suddenly moves, making Minho put more weight on his knees that are on either side of his body and on his hand to push him up.

Jeongguk moves and turns around completely, still laying down but now facing Minho, and instantly he latched onto him with his legs around his torso.

Clutching onto him as though his life depended on it.

Minho tried so hard not to have his burst to this cuteness.

Aw, sensitive little baby.

"Don't worry Kookie," Minho assures, letting his weight rest in the sentimental boy, "I'm not fighting a crocodile anytime soon."

"P-Promise," Jeongguk sniffles quietly, easing back so Minho can see his puffy swollen and teary eyes, "Stay with me, promise."

Little by little Jeongguk seemed to have calmed down, and Minho couldn't stop staring at him with this adoring gleam in his eyes.

Wanting nothing more but to protect this boy, for a long time.

And he will.

Just like he would for the rest of his roomies.

Affectionately, he caresses Jeongguk's cheek softly and leans his forehead against his, softly wiggling his nose against his.

"If you promise not to leave me."

Jeongguk has now relaxed his anxious heart completely, feeling warm and protected just by Minho's oozing comfort to his sentimental heart.

They stayed like this for comforting moments that passed, with Minho from time to time teasing the ravenette but nudging his nose against his or on his cheek, maybe even booping his cheek from time to time. Eventually the small little acts had Jeongguk giggling quietly, tracing his hands from Minho's neck and to his jaw, softly rubbing his cheek with his thumbs.

Heart too warm fueling his chest, Minho giddily giggles, "You're so cute when you're not in front of others."

"Don't say that," Jeongguk mutters, blushing a little, "I'm not like this."

"Oh I know," Minho cooes, his lips softly tracing Jeongguk's cheek and pressing a reassuring peck against his skin, "I'm still surprised you never had a relationship. You're too cute."

"Not many girls find that manly."

Minho wanted to roll his eyes to the statement, but only gives him another peck to his cheek to assure him that's not a bad thing, "I find it sexy."

Jeongguk laughs, like actually laughs, "Stop, we both know not true."

"You'd be surprised," Minho taunts, lips tracing Jeongguk's jaw and presses a kiss there, "Makes me wonder a lot of things."

"Like what?"

"If you were a little gay," Minho murmurs, tracing his lips up slowly, stopping shortly just below Jeongguk's bottom lip, pressing a peck there, "Maybe you would've had dick by now."

Jeongguk evidently twitched to this, making Minho's breath hitch by the pinch of friction that rubbed on his lower region.

And now realizing their quite intimate position.

He needs to get off.

Like right now.

Minho only presses one last kiss to his cheek and moves to get off, but Jeongguk's grip tightens.

And doesn't let him move away.

Minho closes his eyes, his breathing growing shakily, "Kookie, I'm getting really really messed up. I do not want to confuse you."

Jeongguk watches his face quietly, studying the way Minho is clearly fighting with everything to not do something risky right now.

"Then resist," Jeongguk whispers quietly, making Minho slowly open his eyes to see the soft look in the ravenette eyes, "Resist for me."

Minho slowly bites his bottom lip, especially by those innocent doe eyes staring right into his.

So fucking -

Forcefully Minho pushes those urges down, easing himself back on Jeongguk and just holds tightly on his body. His own body is tense, brutally tense, so fucking pulsed with adrenaline to do something.

And his pelvis is practically begging to just shift forward.

Right to Jeongguk's own pelvis, where he can feel the outline of his own dick.

Taking a deep breath, Minho holds onto for dear life to Jeongguk, anchoring himself down that this is Jeongguk.

And he trusts him.

He trust him to not do something to him.

He trusts him to have control.

Those thoughts were what mellowed Minho's thoughts just barely, exhaling a deep breath and relaxing his entire weight on the ravenette.

Slowly starting to feel more and more sleepy instead.

Jeongguk suddenly started to hum under his breath, running a hand through Minho's hair softly. The soft humming was what lured Minho to a more controlled conscious, now completely relaxed on the ravenette, pressing a peck on his neck as a gratitude.

Jeongguk continues to hum, until he slowly sings underneath his breath.

"I never knew, I never knew, you could have moonlight in your hands, till the night I held you."

Minho slowly smiles to his soothing voice, closing his eyes and completely falls asleep on top of his precious boy.

Feeling content in his warm heart.
