Yunho loved love bites. He loved them so much to the point he purchased a device that suctioned on his skin and left purple marks on his pale flesh. The only problem was that they were too artificial and much too circular for his liking. 

He wanted them dark, bitten, bruised, shaped oddly. He wanted small ones, big ones, ones that lasted weeks and ones that would fade quickly and make room for new ones but alas, that was something he wouldn't have.

Of course, he had a boyfriend but he was much too embarrassed to request for something like that and figured his significant other wasn’t into such things. 

So with those factors in mind, Yunho continued marking himself with artificial spots that didn't leave him anywhere near satisfied.

He didn't even feel pleasure from the gentle pressure of the machine sucking but at least he had the small spots.

He liked them. He really did but he just wished they were meaningful. He wished Mingi, his boyfriend, would be the type to do such things.

It was something so small yet so significant to Yunho he couldn't help but to break down in front of Mingi one evening as they lay comfortably on Yunho’s couch. He didn't mean to start sobbing out of control but the amount of comfort he felt laying on Mingi’s strong chest was enough to make him feel as if he wasn't completely alone and maybe someday he’d be able to tell his feelings but he didn't expect it to be now of all times.

“Hey, hey,” Mingi said gently, lifting Yunho’s head to peer at him. “What's gotten you all sad? Hmm?”

Yunho moved to a sitting position, feeling himself quiver as he moved. If he had to tell Mingi everything now, then he wanted to do it properly.

“Look at my shoulder but don't be mad,” Yunho whispered, looking into Mingi’s eyes with fear for the reaction.

Mingi was confused. What did Yunho have on his shoulder that would make him mad? A tattoo? Mingi wouldn't be mad over something as trivial as that.

Carefully, he pulled Yunho’s sleeve off his shoulder. Instantly, his insides turned hot and he felt himself slowly turn red but he kept himself under control before he did anything.

“Jeong Yunho,” Mingi whispered, his throat feeling clogged. “What is the meaning of this? Did you really abandon my moral loyalty and go behind my back?”

Mingi felt such rage and hurt within him, he didn't know how else to react but to put a little bit of space between the two. Of course, if he reacted negatively in front of Yunho, it would make the situation worse so he remained with a neutral expression, only his eyes showing his true inner thoughts as he fought himself to keep from snapping.

“No! No!” Yunho cried, realizing he should have said more than what he had or atleast word it differently so it didn't sound so misleading. “I swear I didn't cheat!”

“Well then you better have a pretty good explanation for what I'm witnessing.”

Yunho prepared himself, ready to feel hate and embarrassment. He cleared his throat and looked into Mingi’s hurt and confused eyes.

“These marks weren’t made by some random person,” Yunho began, getting straight to the point. “They were made by me.”

Mingi scoffed and Yunho wanted to cry harder than he already was, due to the fact that his own boyfriend doubted him.

“But I did! Look!” Yunho exclaimed, dashing off to find the device and test it on Mingi’s forearm.

He turned the machine on and within a few seconds, a perfectly artificial and circular spot appeared.

“See? I made them and don't you see how perfectly round it is?”

Mingi was surprised. Deep inside he knew Yunho wouldn't cheat but the sudden revelation of the hickey like marks made him doubt his firm beliefs for a second. The trust that was beginning to chip immediately restored itself and Mingi could breathe properly knowing his boyfriend was as loyal as the day he met him but the only question now was why?

“I'm so sorry baby for doubting you for even a second. I shouldn't have assumed things immediately without hearing what you had to say,” Mingi apologized sincerely. “But please tell me why. Why, babe? Hmm? Will you tell me?”

“You wont be mad?” Yunho asked with large eyes, on the verge of breaking down again.

“Now why would I be mad? If you didn't cheat and you made them yourself, then I see nothing that can anger me,” Mingi responded, scooting closer to Yunho and grabbing his hands.

“Okay.”

Yunho scooted closer to Mingi as well, moving his hands to interlace their fingers so he could explain.

“It's just, something I've always loved is love bites,” Yunho began, carefully wording his sentences. “And they've been something I've always wanted but I was too embarrassed to tell you.”

“So you bought something that would give you fake marks?” Mingi asked, realizing why his boyfriend had quite a bit of purple and red spots.

Yunho quickly nodded, squeezing Mingi’s hands as he felt happiness wash over him, knowing that his boyfriend was finally understanding.

“But there's more to it,” Yunho continued, watching as Mingi’s face turned to confusion once again. “The machine doesn't do it the way I like it.”

“Oh?” Mingi said in surprise. “So tell me how you do.”

Yunho giggled, leaning over to kiss Mingi’s nose as a form of distraction and delay the process of telling.

“You big baby!” Mingi laughed, fully aware of what his adorable boyfriend was doing. “Come on, tell me! Please?”

“I like them in the dozens,” Yunho whispered. “I like them all over, in different shades and shapes. I like them bruised so badly they last weeks and I like them when they fade quickly so I can get more. I like them when they are bitten until they nearly bleed and I like soft nips. I just like being littered to the point where I feel like a little slut for my lover, which is you.”

Yunho leaned forward, nuzzling his head under Mingi’s chin. Mingi was in full shock. Not once did he ever expect his adorable and soft boyfriend to be that type of person.

“So you didn't tell me because why? Because you thought I'd get mad at you for wanting attention or because you thought I'd hate something that makes you feel beautiful and loved?”

Yunho nodded slowly, unsure of how he was supposed to feel. Happy because Mingi didn't hate him or like an idiot for thinking Mingi would hate him.

“Babe, I know I'm not the best but I'm not that bad!” Mingi said in exasperation. “You know I truly love you!”

“So does that mean that you'd be willing to do it to me if I asked?” Yunho asked with puppy eyes, moving his head to look at Mingi that even if he had wanted to say no, it wouldn't have been possible.

“Of course! I would do anything for you!”

“Well in that case, kindly mark me right now,” Yunho whispered, moving to climb on Mingi’s lap.

“Now?” Mingi asked, suddenly excited but needing to make sure Yunho was being serious.

“Yup!” Yunho exclaimed before adding in as an afterthought, “unless you don’t wanna.”

Mingi tightly pulled Yunho against him, getting up and heading to Yunho’s room.

“Hey!” Yunho squealed, placing his arms around Mingi’s shoulders and resting his head in the crook of his neck.

“Of course I wanna,” Mingi growled. “I want to mark every part of you until you're a whining mess. Until you're drooling and you can't speak. Is that what you want you little slut? Hmm?”

Yunho nodded frantically, feeling an emotion he never felt before. It felt so nice to be treated the way he always dreamed of being handled.

“Yes! Please treat me well though,” Yunho whispered, a tad bit frightened.

“Don't worry, baby,” Mingi reassured, gently pecking Yunho’s head.

Yunho felt in heaven as Mingi began marking him. His lips, neck, shoulders, chest, and parts of his hips were left exactly the way he always wanted them. Littered in bites and bruises, some to the point that they appeared they may start bleeding. It was an ecstatic feeling and he never wanted it to end but alas, all good things come to an end.

“Do you like it, baby?” Mingi asked, gently tilting Yunho’s head to face him.

“I love it!” Yunho whispered in pure content. “But I want to see it in the mirror.”

He quickly headed to his bathroom where he examined his upper body in pure excitement. Satisfaction seeped into him noticing areas on his back were also littered and spots also lingered below his waist band. 

“Oh my god, it's beautiful! Thank you!”

Mingi was proud he was able to make his boyfriend happy and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

“You're welcome, baby. If you want anymore or anything else, be free to ask. I'll gladly give it to you.”

Yunho raised a suggestive eyebrow with a shy smile, gaining a nod and peck from Mingi who was more than happy to give.

“Like I said, anything,” Mingi repeated, getting the point across.

“Well in that case, next time respectfully fuck me while leaving marks on my shoulders and back.”

Mingi chuckled with a fond smile. Oh how he loved the puppy like male so much. He still felt like an idiot for assuming Yunho cheated but at least he was proven wrong.

“Your wish is my command.”

Yunho wrapped his slightly taller body around Mingi, effectively creating the illusion that he was tiny. He felt crazy that he hadn't told Mingi before but now that he finally had, he was ecstatic that he would be able to get marked whenever he wanted and whatever amount he wanted. He was honestly and truly happy.
