Summary: Yunho had assumed that one day he’d be able to bridge the gap between their worlds, but one day, he realized that perhaps that day would never come.
Jaejoong walked into his apartment and set his keys down onto the console table. He massaged his neck before he glanced at the wall clock.
It was hard, the first month, to not want Yunho to call every single hour, but he’d eventually grown used to it. He tried talking to other people more and he found himself drifting over to Junsu and Yoochun’s apartments more and more frequently.
In fact, he’d even received a visit from Changmin when the younger man had gone to Paris for a business trip. Of course, he’d ended up paying for every single meal, but it was good to talk to the younger boy - his refreshing wit and snarky attitude distracted him from Yunho’s absence, but also brought fond memories as well.
Yunho called faithfully, and he filled Jaejoong in on everything he was doing. He told him about the job he’d gotten at a law firm and how he was studying French so that he could transfer office later on. He told Jaejoong about how he’d almost burnt down his apartment attempting to cook something for Jihye, and other stories about his life back in Seoul.
They filled each other in on everything the other was missing, but despite that, Jaejoong couldn’t help but anticipate the day that they would be together again. Yunho never failed to remind him about how much he loved him and missed him, and Jaejoong used those memories as comfort whenever he felt lonely or missed Yunho.
Jaejoong sat down in front of his piano, flipped through the notes he’d written hours earlier, then set it back down next to him on the stool. He glanced out the window of his office, wondering when Yunho would finally come back.
The doorbell rang, and he stood up.
Jaejoong walked slowly - no doubt it would be one of his neighbors - most likely the old woman who lived across from him, asking him to help her with one of her lights or to help her reconnect her phone.
He twisted the doorknob open, and as soon as he saw who waited outside, he let out at tiny gasp.
“Hi.” Yunho greeted a smile on his face. His hair was longer, and it seemed like he’d gotten more tanned. Jaejoong could only reply with a strangled hello. “I got that transfer I was talking about in my last -“
“You’re back.”
Yunho nodded, “I am.” He displayed the bag he had next to him, “Permanently. Well, kind of. I still have to sort out transfer paperwork and my apartment, but after I fix that, I’ll be ready to live here with -“
Jaejoong embraced Yunho tightly, burying his face into the other man’s chest. “I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.” Yunho murmured, wrapping his arms around Jaejoong. “I’m sorry it took so long baby, but -“
“It doesn’t matter.” Jaejoong whispered back, pulling away from Yunho to kiss him on the lips and drag him indoors, “You’re here now.”
It wasn’t long before they tumbled into bed together, slowly peeling off each other’s clothes and delicately running hands past the path of each other’s bodies. Jaejoong allowed Yunho to pin him down against the mattress, moaning as Yunho brushed their aching erections together constantly.
He could never understand the man’s fixation with his neck, and as Yunho continued to bite and suck at the flesh, he could only writhe and cling to him tighter. Jaejoong’s eyes fluttered shut, and as he felt Yunho’s fingers push into his entrance, his mind grew hazy and all he could think of was how good it all felt.
“Open your eyes,” Yunho murmured gently, “I want to see your eyes.”
Jaejoong complied immediately, and as Yunho pressed another finger inside, he pulled at the other man’s hair and bucked forward. He couldn’t control the sounds that were coming out of his mouth - a mix of kittenish noises and mewling. The fact he was being so vocal was making him blush hard.
“I always thought you had a nice voice.” Yunho chuckled, his breath ghosting against Jaejoong’s neck, “Having you moaning underneath me is like music to my ears.”
“Id - idiot.” Jaejoong stammered, trying to keep his eyes open as Yunho’s fingers brushed against his prostate, “You’re, “ he moaned, “Terrible.”
“But you’re only vocal when we’re like this.”
Yunho leant down and began to suck at one of Jaejoong’s nipples. He turned his eyes to Jaejoong, who was looking down at him, and the sight of Yunho biting and teasing the nub had Jaejoong moaning louder.
“We have a lot of making up to do Jaejoong.” Yunho murmured as he pulled away from Jaejoong to put a condom on, “I suppose we’re starting on that today.”
Jaejoong blushed, “Lie down.”
Yunho blinked, “What?”
“You heard me.” Jaejoong murmured, gently guiding Yunho down against the mattress and against a pillow. He climbed on top of his lover and pressed his hands down against Yunho’s chest, trying to keep himself stable.
He straddled Yunho, and he moaned when their erections brushed against each other. Jaejoong bit his lip, their bodies slippery with sweat. He glanced down at Yunho, who was staring up at him with lust filled eyes.
“I love you baby.” Yunho said quietly as he set his hands on Jaejoong’s waist. He bucked upwards encouragingly, “I love you so much.”
Jaejoong bent down and pressed a kiss against Yunho’s lips before he pulled away. He lifted himself off Yunho and took hold of his dick, his touch making Yunho moan out in pleasure.
He slowly lowered himself down to the hilt, and as soon as he had Yunho completely inside, Jaejoong could barely bring himself to move back up. Yunho groaned and gripped Jaejoong’s hips tighter, and after a minute or so, Jaejoong began moving up and down, impaling himself on Yunho’s aching member.
His eyes fluttered shut as he felt Yunho thrusting upwards, and he could feel himself losing the strength to continue riding Yunho. Jaejoong opened his mouth to say something, but all he could manage was a moan as Yunho thrust in deeper.
“Tired?” Yunho asked, and all Jaejoong could do was nod weakly. He immediately pushed Jaejoong down against the bed and continued to thrust deep into the smaller man.
They continued for several more minutes, and as Jaejoong neared his climax, he clutched Yunho tighter, begging him to go faster, deeper. Yunho complied, and as soon as he saw Jaejoong’s eyes flutter closed, he thrust harder.
“Open your eyes.”
Jaejoong did so hesitantly, finding it so hard to fight against his instinct to just lose himself to the pleasure. He wrapped his arms around Yunho’s neck, and it wasn’t long before he came all over Yunho.
Yunho finished a little while after, and as soon as he’d finished his release, he remained on top of Jaejoong, panting softly. He shut his eyes and rested on the smaller man, tiny aftershocks of pleasure still running throughout his body.
He’d never felt so close to Jaejoong - so one with the other man, and his heart could barely take the strain of being reunited with him. When he opened his eyes, Jaejoong was staring up at him, brown eyes filled with an equal amount of joy.
They were finally together.
o-o-o
They stayed in the apartment for a few days, doing nothing in particular aside from remembering the feel of each other’s presence. Jaejoong refused to leave Yunho’s side at all times, choosing to stay at his side constantly.
Calls were ignored, text messages were unread - they chose to isolate themselves from the rest of society, if only for a few days.
It felt something akin to falling in love all over again, and Yunho had no complaints.
Jaejoong was sitting next to him on the piano, watching each of his movements carefully as he attempted to play the piano piece set down in front of them. Yunho laughed when he made a mistake, the song ruined by the wrong key he’d pressed, but he continued on.
“You can do it.” Jaejoong murmured reassuringly as he rested part of his weight against Yunho, before flipping the page, “You’re doing well.”
“Part of me thinks that you’re just doing this so you can show off later.” Yunho replied, his eyes concentrated on both the black and white piano keys and the music sheets in front of him, “You like being in control, don’t you?”
“I just like seeing you play.” Jaejoong replied lightly as he pressed a kiss against Yunho’s neck softly, “You get this concentrated look on your face, your eyebrows furrow, your lips purse - it’s very cute.”
“Are you trying to get us back into bed?” Yunho asked, turning his head to look at Jaejoong warily, “I don’t have any protests, but I don’t think you’ll be able to walk if we keep this current rate up -“
“You just don’t want to keep playing.” Jaejoong poked Yunho’s cheek and smiled, “Now come on, you’re almost done.”
“Why don’t you finish this?” Yunho suggested, “I don’t feel like continuing.”
Jaejoong chuckled, “Fine.” He edged Yunho off to the side, and Yunho moved, allowing him more space on the seat. Yunho watched as Jaejoong placed his hands over the keys before he began to start playing, his fingers moving expertly across the ebony and ivory.
Music filled the room, and Yunho resisted the urge to close his eyes and simply allow the sound of the piano to envelop his senses completely. He raised his eyes off the piano and glanced at Jaejoong’s face.
“This…I’ve heard it before.”
Jaejoong glanced at Yunho, “What are you talking about? This is new. I just made this a few days ago -“
“I’ve heard it before, don’t lie.” Yunho murmured as he reached out and took hold of the composition book. He flipped through the pages, and although the music notes could hardly speak to him, the melody - it was too familiar.
He was fairly sure he’d heard it before.
Yunho raised his head and glanced at Jaejoong, “Are you going to explain this?”
“It was supposed to be a surprise.” Jaejoong answered reluctantly, “I…I thought you wouldn’t recognize the melody if I simplified it a bit and changed a few things here or there. You were supposed to -“
“You were working on this before I left.” Yunho studied Jaejoong carefully, “You…it really is for me?”
“Not this simplified version, but…” Jaejoong trailed off and bit his lip. “Yes, it’s for you. I don’t have a title for it yet, but it’s for you. I’ve been working on it, and as soon as I had finished it, I wanted you to hear it.”
A smile slowly stretched across Yunho’s face, “Thank you Jaejoong.”
“Do you like it?” Jaejoong asked softly, looking at Yunho curiously, “If you want me to change it, I could -“
“No, don’t change anything.” Yunho brought Jaejoong closer and pressed his lips against the other man’s softly. It wasn’t long before Jaejoong pressed back, fighting to deepen the kiss, but Yunho pulled away momentarily.
His eyes locked with Jaejoong’s, and a state of seriousness fell over them. Yunho carded his fingers through Jaejoong’s soft hair, “I can understand,” he murmured, his smile growing wider, “I can understand what you’re trying to say.”
Sometimes words weren’t necessary - the music was enough, enough to explain how Jaejoong felt. Maybe Jaejoong hadn’t tried hard enough to get Yunho to understand, and maybe Yunho hadn’t made a big enough effort to understand, but now they faced the future with a better understanding of one another.
There had never really been a distance between them at all. The differences, the things that made them individuals, brought them together and not apart - which was something they’d failed to realize sooner, but had grown to understood.
Now, they were equals - on the same page, in tune to the same melody.
Nothing would set them apart again.
