"It's Bellamy."

"I will literally never call you by it but I am inordinately happy that I know things about you that most other people don't."

KangJaeha: I know why the bell

🐠nemo: you don't count

🔔traceless: might get a prize anyway though.

🍉melonmelon: get a roooooooom

KangJaeha: We in fact are in a room!

🔔traceless: we're even alone in the room :3

Jaeha is going to die of how adorable this man is.

🚫do-not-jin: ........I really feel like there's some kind of moderator warning I should give the two of you here but my handbook of allowable moderator warnings does not cover this kind of stuff at all

taegun fan no. 1183: lolololol
taegun fan no. 1183: perish

🔔traceless: I am too clever for your handbook

No he's already done a lot of backscroll reading and if there's anything Haru wants to do with him he wants to do that more than being in chat.

After all, guiding dick is widely reputed to be bomb.

And they're on the home stretch of a sprint, too.

They are. And there isn't fanfare, there's nothing special announcing that it happens. It's been happening for weeks, and by the time Jaeha finally confessed everything there was very little left, and he doesn't notice going over the edge at all, except that it happens at some point in the middle of sex when he isn't watching so he only notices it when they're snuggling afterwards and he thinks about it and says, "Oh, I'm done."

"- oh, good. I should maybe take, like, a weekend."

"Like, off dungeons? If you aren't about to run off now that your responsibilities are discharged that could be an opportunity for those dates I mentioned. Unless you'd rather just stay home and have some introvert time." So long as "home" continues to be Jaeha's house.

"Yes, off dungeons. We can go on dates!"

Haru is not running away. Jaeha is so fucking happy he might die. —oh, that's also probably the guiding, isn't it, "so happy he might die" is almost certainly, like, the actual first thing to go.

"...I like you a lot, Haru-ya," he says, in Korean so Haru knows what he means (and because saying "I love you", even in English, sounds far too serious). "Really quite a lot."

"大好きだ。"

Oh okay he thought he was so happy he might die but he was wrong, now he's so happy he might die, he's so happy he needs to hug Haru really very tight and bury his face in the crook of Haru's neck and try not to hyperventilate.

"I was going to go somewhere, I was going to say something I'm sure there were words that were coming next," he says into Haru's skin, trying his damnedest to keep his breathing even and his heart still and, and that's the stupidest thing, really, he can't make his heart go still, and is there even a point in trying with the breathing? He thinks very plausibly not. But it's not like he's trying to hide what he's feeling, he's just trying not to breathe so quickly he passes out, because right now he shouldn't pass out he needs to hug Haru, his Haru, no one else's, just his, his Haru!!!!!!

Pet pet. "Oh no, I have done such violence to my Jaeha's train of thought."

Haru called him "my Jaeha"!!!! Out loud!!!!!! With his mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaeha's definitely going to need. A minute. Or ten. Maybe a minute of hugging and then ten minutes of kissing, or something, he doesn't know, he lost his train of thought, he lost his ability to form new thoughts, he's running in circles in his brain playing the memory of Haru calling him "my Jaeha" on repeat.

"You're so," kiss, "cute when you're happy, oh my god."

"You called me 'my Jaeha'. You did. With your mouth. You said it. No takebacks. I'm yours. Okay? I'm yours. You said it." He's reminded of that XKCD strip with the inanity of statements being inversely proportional to the distance to a cat except here it's Haru instead of cat. Not even his thoughts are making much sense, which makes sense, really, since he's not forming them anymore, they're just forming themselves, or, or something, he doesn't know, he doesn't care, he just doesn't care.

"I didn't know that was such a high leverage phrase! My Jaeha, all mine."
