summary Today, they play with the gun that produces bubbles.
notes For Serena asound, with the prompt "Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten." * in mind.
Taemin's taken interest in playing with the gun that produces bubbles today - "The bubble gun," Jonghyun calls it. It's originally for Yoogeun, but Yoogeun seems to be enjoying the new Power Rangers action figure Key has given him. Taemin fires a stream of bubbles and Yoogeun takes a step back.
This is their chance.
"Aha!" A small expression of victory escapes Taemin's lips as Taemin snatches the toy from Yoogeun and throws it at Jonghyun, and Jonghyun catches it just in time. Yoogeun chases them around the room and, soon enough, the entire baby house, and when they find a place where they can hide from Yoogeun - a closet just big enough for two midgets to fit in - they gasp for air.
"It's too small for the two of us," Jonghyun mutters under his breath, and Taemin laughs at him lightly.
"One of the few times I'm thankful you're small, hyung, or else we wouldn't fit here at all," Taemin replies and bites the inside of his mouth to keep himself from laughing any louder. Jonghyun tries nudging him in his side but, instead, loses balance and crashes into Taemin. Their less-than-a-meter wide hiding place seems to have gotten smaller, now that Jonghyun's face is practically mushed in Taemin's chest. Taemin giggles.
And it comes to Jonghyun in a rush, the urge to pin Taemin on the wall and whisper, "You're cute, Taemin," and then he'd repeat for emphasis, for a deeper impression, "You're cute." Except that he really can't pin Taemin on the wall since his face is buried in Taemin's chest and all his senses can process is a mixture of post-practice and underage scents. So he indulges. The way he imagines it, Taemin would just laugh it away and say, "You're silly, hyung," except Taemin really doesn't and, instead, whispers back, "No, not anymore." There's a funny feeling in Jonghyun's gut that tells him, uh-oh, you're in trouble. Taemin lifts his chin with his fingers and slowly, delicately places his lips on his.
Then the door opens and they are hit with a stream of bubbles. Yoogeun's found them. At last.
"Yoogeun!" Taemin thrusts the action figure in Jonghyun's chest and turns his attention to the baby. "Come back here!" Jonghyun watches, lips apart, as Taemin's figure disappears in the corner. But not really, because Taemin comes back for him, saying, "We're in this together, aren't we?" then flashes the bubble gun that started it all. "It's time for revenge!" Then they're back on their feet, back to their old, playful selves, and Jonghyun lures Yoogeun in with the action figure while Taemin exacts revenge by virtue of the bubble gun. When Yoogeun's already down and laughing his heart out, Taemin fires the bubbles at Jonghyun. Jonghyun takes a step back. He smiles.
He never stood a chance.
