Bria's POV:
I woke up the next morning and Jimin was gone, but that was usually how it was. I didn't know what he got up to during the hours he spent on his own, and he had always been fairly non-specific when I asked. I snickered as I pictured him haunting Bambam's closet. They would make an adorable, if unorthodox, couple.
I knocked on the adjoining door to the bathroom that I shared with Yugyeom, and got no answer, so I claimed it for my own, locking both entrances and turning on the shower. I needed to get cleaned up, and my stomach was rumbling in a very insistent way, so it was definitely time to eat breakfast. I sighed and just took a few minutes to luxuriate in the warm water raining down on me. I smiled a little when the exchange between Yugyeom and I flitted through my mind. He was so hot...maybe he felt the same? I'd been sure that he was just messing with me, last night...but the more I replayed the way he'd been, and how he'd almost kissed me...I wasn't so sure anymore.
How did I even feel? He was certainly daddy material in the looks department, but I also liked him as a person. He'd really seemed to give a shit about the fact that I was upset last night, and his efforts to comfort me had been genuine, I was sure of that much. I didn't know why I was so magnetically drawn to him...he just seemed to always be the most interesting thing there was. When he was in a room, like yesterday, I just wanted to look at him. When we'd been in the bathroom yesterday night, I could easily have given in to my nerves and my embarrassment at any point and left, but I hadn't. I'd been intoxicated by the way he seemed to be flirting with me, and it had only made me crave his company even more. Even now, in the shower, I couldn't help the silly grin on my face when I thought about him, or wondered if I would see and talk to him again today.
I was so dumb. This was ridiculous. Of course I would see him today...we lived together now. We shared a bathroom. It was inevitable. Part of me wondered if the rest of it wasn't inevitable as well...part of me hoped for it.
I toweled off and finger combed my hair, preferring to let it air-dry naturally. It was better for it, and since my hair tended to be super frizzy when I messed with it, it usually looked nicer, too. I pulled on a clean pair of shorts and a pretty top that I thought made me look cute, and set out in search of food.
I couldn't help but smile at the ruckus that greeted me as I walked into the kitchen. Jackson and Yongjae were trying to keep JB's cats from jumping on the counter, and Agatha was carefully guarding her cereal bowl, eyeing the most insistent kitty suspiciously. I giggled and looked at the scene, happy to be here, all over again. Where else could I be this entertained?
"Kitties!" I called, and they all looked up to me, as if asking what was up. "Stay off the table, m'kay? People think it's gross when kitties get on the table" I said. They gave me a skeptical look and I changed tactics. "I bet JB will feed you if you go and ask him" I wheedled, smiling when they all looked at each other, as if consulting, and then took off in a herd. Poor JB. I hoped he had kitty treats, or he was in trouble.
The thought made me smile as I got my own cereal, oblivious to the impressed looks on the faces of the people around the table. I reached down and gave Georgie, who'd been at my heels as usual, since getting out of bed, a quick pet or two, and then filled the little feeder/water bowl that I'd brung along, placing it around the corner, out of the path of foot traffic. He waggled his tail excitedly and doggy-smiled, waddling over to it as I sat down at the breakfast bar with the others.
"Girl, you have some sweet skills" Youngjae said, making me laugh as he fist bumped me across the counter.
"Heck, yeah. We were practically under siege! JB never peels his lazy ass out of bed before 10am" Jackson grumbled, but smiled fondly as he said it.
Agatha just smiled at me and patted the remaining seat at the breakfast bar, next to her. "That was impressive, dear. Good show!" she praised, her eyes twinkling fondly as she smiled over at me. I looked around and noticed that we seemed to be the only ones here.
"Where's everybody else?" I asked, knowing already that JB was probably still asleep, and not wanting to admit that I was super curious if Yugyeom was home...
Youngjae tilted his head a little and gave me a searching look, a knowing twinkle coming into his eyes. "Jinyoung and Bambam left earlier to film the drama that they are working on...I'm sure Yugyeom is still...tired. He was up late last night" he said, winking at me. My eyes shot wide open, remembering that he was post-cognitive. He clearly knew about what had happened in the bathroom last night, or had gotten a clear enough flash to read between the lines. I flushed red and looked down, desperate for a topic change, while Jackson and Agatha just looked mildly confused and interested in why I was so embarrassed.
"Jinyoung and Bambam are working on a drama together?" I asked, latching onto the only topic of conversation that I could think of, right now. I was actually curious, but I was also desperate for a topic change.
Agatha smiled and nodded. "Yes, indeed. Jinyoung is the most gifted actor" she said, looking proud.
"And Bambam is a professional stylist, so they work as a team a lot of the time" Jackson added, stuffing a huge spoon of cereal in his mouth and nomming on it, smiling around the table contentedly, will Youngjae tried not to gag, giving him a disgusted look, and then laughing and almost falling off of his stool when Jackson leaned into him.
I giggled and finished my cereal, freezing when Yugyeom and Mark walked into the room. My eyes immediately locked on Yugyeom, but he was already looking at me. He smiled a little, seeming kind of shy, a quality that made me want to swoon a little bit, and Mark waved. "Morning everybody" he said, throwing his brilliant smile around the room. "Yugs' and I are going to go dance a little later, you should come join us, Bria" he added, tousling my hair. I squawked and pulled away, finger combing my hair back into place amid the snickers of the boys.
"Please don't mess up my hair" I whined. "I really hate that" I said, giggling when he intentionally reached out and did it again, making my laugh and swat at him. "I'm going to get you" I threatened, giving him the evil eye as I got up to wash out my dishes.
"I'm sooo scared" Mark cooed, his eyes twinkling like this was the most fun he'd had in ages.
I scowled at him, but couldn't help but crack a smile when I glanced over at Yugyeom, who was silently shaking with laughter, leaning against the far wall. "Live in fear, worm" I giggled out, laughing harder when Jackson appeared behind him and jumped on his back.
"Piggy back ride!" he declared, laughing madly as both boys went to the floor in a heap.
"See, Bria?" Jackson strangled out, while apparently trying to throttle poor Mark, "I got your back, baby!" he laughed out, shrieking when Mark gave him a wedgy, pushing him off of him.
"I'll meet you guys in the dance studio after I get in a little jog" I said over my shoulder to Mark, smiling when Yugyeom winked at me, heading to my room for Georgie's leash, planning to take him with me.
I quickly changed into some jogging shorts and a t-shirt, gathering my hair in a pony tail and calling out to Georgie. I ended up having to look for him, though, because he was otherwise occupied. I'd never had him not come when called, but instantly forgave him when I saw the drooling puddle he'd been reduced to, as he sat in Jackson's lap and got his belly rubbed.
"Walk?" I asked, expecting Georgie to immediately jump up, all wiggly and excited, as per his usual. Instead, he just gave me an apologetic look, and nudged Jackson with his back foot, signaling that he should make with more pets. I giggled and Jackson grinned big, obviously super happy to keep petting Georgie. "Are you ok to watch him for me for a few while I get some exercise?" I asked, knowing the answer by the blissful look on Jackson's face.
"Yup. I'm already whipped for Georgie. He is my supreme overlord" Jackson joked, making me laugh harder.
"Ok then, I'll see you boys in a few minutes" I said, patting Georgie on the head softly before striding out into the morning sunshine.
________________________________________________________________________________
It really was a pretty day, and I'd had a nice jog, enjoying stretching my muscles, the exercise doing good things for every part of me. When I walked back in the door, JB was up, and he had two kitties, one that I hadn't seen before, sitting around him and in his lap. He waved a greeting and I returned it. "Good morning" I said, feeling cheerful and energized.
"Woah...a morning person" JB said, rubbing his eyes, looking for all the world like a darkness dwelling mole-person.
I giggled and intentionally lowered my voice. "Sorry, JB" I said, earning a grin.
"No worries. I just got woken up earlier than usual because 4 of my cats all attacked me at once, for some reason, demanding treats" he said, giving me a knowing look and fake glaring at me. I looked up at the ceiling, trying to appear as innocent as possible as I smiled at him.
"That might have been a teeny, minuscule, tiny...fraction...my fault" I said, squinting at him and giving him an apologetic look.
JB shrugged. "It's ok. The only one who never bugs me like that is Nora. I think she's going to die soon" he said, making me laugh with him. "But seriously, next time, bribe them off the counter in some other way, k?" he asked, making me nod my head.
"Deal" I said, grinning over at him and smiling when a little grey kitty came and curled up in my lap, clearly seeking pets. "Oh, I see...now you're all about me" I said, giggling when the kitty head butted my hand, demanding affection in the way only a kitty can. I gave in and stroked his soft fur, gently. "How many cats do you even have?" I asked, finding it funny that Agatha hadn't even really known.
JB grinned fondly at his kitties. "I've got 5, right now, but they seem drawn to me. I didn't set out to have this many, they just keep... showing up" he said, shrugging, and looking pleased about it.
I smiled over at him setting kitty back on the couch as I stood and stretched. "Maybe that is some kind of gift?" I asked, giggling when he gave me an extremely skeptical look. I raised my eyebrows. "You know...animal magnetism or something" I defended, laughing outright when he snickered at me. "I need to go get cleaned up. I told Mark and Yugyeom that I'd meet them in the gym" I said, "Enjoy waking up" I added, waving as I walked back upstairs.
_______________________________________________________________________________
I quickly hosed off and got dressed again in the same shorts and top I'd worn to breakfast, feeling bad that this whole thing had taken longer than I thought it would. I hoped Yugyeom and Mark hadn't been waiting on me for very long.
I walked into the gym and it was just Mark there...but wow. He was doing some crazy areal jumps and flips that I knew wouldn't have been possible it it weren't for his ability to levitate. When he paused for a moment, I cheered a little and clapped, finding it cute how he blushed and bowed, his smile beaming over at me from where he stood in the middle of the gym.
"You made it" Mark said, sounding pleased as he walked over to me. "Yugyeom just went out to get water" he added, giving me a funny look, that I chose not to analyze. Was it that obvious to everyone? Jesus...
"Those flips you were doing looked really good!" I praised him, clapping a little bit again as he waved the praise away.
"I just do it. It's fun" he said. "Can you dance?" he asked, giving me a curious look.
I shrugged. "A little, I guess. Not like that, though" I said, pointing out into the gym where he'd been bouncing around like a rubber ball, not a minute ago.
"Show me" he challenged, looking like he was up for another opportunity to tease and/or clown me. I shook my head and backed away.
"Nope" I said. "I've had my fill of harassment today, thank you very much" I said, unable to stop laughing as Mark backed me into the wall.
"Oh, come on" he said, a teasing light in his eyes. "Just do it once, and I'll never bother you about it again" he pleaded.
"Just do what, once?" Yugyeom asked, walking up behind Mark and darting questioning looks between us. He almost looked...jealous? Could that really be? Did he think something else was going on between Mark and I? Did it bother him? I was startled out of my thoughts by Yugyeom getting in my space, the unexpected closeness causing my breath to catch as I looked up at him.
"Just do what?" he repeated his question, looking down at me like he wanted to eat me. I swallowed hard, the intensity in his eyes doing some pretty amazing things to my panties, right now. Then again, looking at him always did things to me...if I was being honest.
"Um...M-mark wanted me to...he asked me to dance...but I'm not that good" I said, having trouble forming words, with Yugyeom in such close proximity to me. My inner hoe wouldn't let me focus.
"Yeah, man. I was just clowning. I wanted to see what she can do" Mark said, sounding like he was puzzled by something. Probably the way Yugyeom was acting. Yugyeom looked over his shoulder at Mark, and his expression cleared, back to the sweet, playful guy I knew.
"Well, lets see it" Yugyeom said, grinning evilly as he pulled me away from the wall and farther out onto the gym floor with him.
"I really would rather watch you guys dance" I said, trying for flattering, and missing the mark dramatically from the looks on their faces.
"Hey Mark, our frisbee's stuck on the roof. Help us out, will you?" Youngjae asked from the doorway.
"Where's Jackson?" Mark fired back, clearly more interested in watching me make a fool of myself.
"He's walking Bria's dog" Youngjae said, smiling over at me when I grinned at the mental picture. Those two...love at first pet.
Mark rolled his eyes and bounded out of the gym, leaving me alone with Yugyeom, who looked pleased with this new development. He smiled down at me and shook his head a little. "Alright, so go ahead. Show me your best move" he said, his eyes twinkling playfully.
"You're going to laugh" I warned, sighing in resignation.
"Nope" he said, licking his lips. "I'd never laugh at you" he said, looking like he was going to say more, but then clamping down on his self.
I shook my head and backed off, chickening out. "I can't, Yugyeom" I whined out, and his eyes softened.
"What if I do something for you, first?" he asked, smiling at me in a way that kind of turned my insides to goo.
"Ok" I said, deciding that I would pay the price later. I really wanted to watch him move his body...he was just so...sexy.
Yugyeom grinned and licked his lips, the unconscious gesture stirring butterflys in the pit of my stomach. He made eye contact and held it with me as he went into a dance that had a lot of...hip thrusts...and....and....all kinds of moves that involved him looking sexy and edible and tempting. I bit my lip while I watched him, trying my best not to melt into a puddle of hoe at his feet.
When he was done he walked over to me and smiled as I clapped for him. "That was really good" I said, blushing a little, turned on and kind of shaky.
"You liked that?" he asked, looking hungry again, getting back in my space.
All I could do was look up at him and nod. "It was...really good" I said, feeling the words die on my lips as he looked down at me intensely, that same energy building between us that I'd felt in the bathroom before, when I'd been sure he was about to kiss me.
"What did you like most about it?" he asked, his voice kind of low and husky, his eyes deep and warm as he looked into mine, gently wrapping an arm around my waist as he inched his face a little closer to mine.
"It was just...you're...I'm..." I blushed and looked down and away and that was when he did it. He gripped my chin between his thumb and forefinger and moved my lips up, kissing me deeply, his lips messaging mine in a way that felt delicate, but demanding at the same time. God...it felt so good... He was an amazing kisser, his lips alone sending tingling all over my body. He made a pleased sound in his chest when I went up on my tip-toes, kissing him back, tilting my head to deepen our connection as I wrapped my arms up around his neck, pleased when he held me tight against his body, wrapping both arms around me while we kissed.
This was everything and also not nearly enough. I could feel my breathing pick up along with my heart rate as he ran his fingers through my hair, sending shivers down my spine, the two of us locked together in the middle of the gym floor while he hungrily devoured my lips, and I let him, loving it completely. I was shaking and I was positive that he was mostly holding me up, but that just made it better, letting me lean into him more, and appreciate his strength as he slipped his tongue into my mouth, rubbing it against mine as he held me in his arms.
I wanted him to do more. I wanted him to own me and use me and be inside of me. I wanted everything with him, feeling wet and turned on as he kissed me and ran his palms up and down my back. I could feel him getting hard as he held me against his body, knew he was feeling just as strongly as I was. In that moment, he could have fucked me right there on the gym floor. I wouldn't have put up an ounce of fight, would have welcomed his touch, the aching need growing in the pit of my stomach almost too much to bear.
Something slammed against the roof above the gym and we both jumped, not disentangling from each other, but definitely breaking the kiss. I was practically panting, gratified by the way he just held me, looking proud of the mess he'd made, just by kissing me. He licked his lips and leaned down again, kissing me slowly and softly, the intensity gone...just being sweet, enjoying being close to me. "That was fun, Bria...I kind of wanted to do that last night, but...I didn't know if you'd be into it" he confessed, my name sounding musical coming off of those kiss swollen lips I'd just been enjoying.
"Yeah...I'm, um...that was...wow" I said, blushing down at the floor and laughing a little, feeling giddy and high from the endorphins. His soft chuckle in my ear made me warm inside as he pulled me in and just hugged me.
"Lunch!" We heard Agatha call over the speaker system that I hadn't previously known existed.
"Wow, you guys have everything here, huh?" I said, looking at the com system in wonderment. Forgetting how...I didn't even know how I was feeling, at that moment. This place was pretty cool, though.
"Lets go eat, babe. I'm starving" Yugyeom said, the affection in his deep voice making me blush, as he took my hand and we walked out.
