Work Text:
With everything that’s been going on, Jay just need a space to feel safe or comfortable atleast and none of the regular places seem to do it. His house is walking landmine. School is just noisy and practice? Practice makes him wanting to just runoff without thinking of consequences. It’s so suffocating. Sighing frustratingly, Jay decides to just bike around to his neighborhood to relive some of his stress.
Why. Just why is he here. Somehow during his rounds, he had unconsciously biked to Vinny’s house. He honestly doesn’t know why he did that. Too lost in his thoughts about the race, studies, and other things. He's landed himself in front of violence loving Vinny’s house. Thinking of retreat back home he starts to turn around from the house and mentally maps a route that takes max time. Turning round finds himself face to face with the owner of said house. They stare at each other silently for a moment, then Vinny face twists into his patented scowl.
“JUST what are you doing here!? Vinny angrily says a whole lot surprised on the inside and silently seething at someone once again showing up unannounced.
Jay goes to reply back with ‘I’m going’ only to say, “Wanted ramen.” Both Jay and Vinny are surprised at this. Jay kind-of hopes somebody would popup now to beat them or for the ground to swallow him up. Why the fuck did I even say that!! Jay thinks viciously surprised. Vinny on the other hand is surprised, frustrated-angry- and a little pleased. He thinks that the Jay Jo has finally gone mental and this is his first pit stop.
Letting out a chuckle Vinny says, “Fine.. let’s go inside,” smiling like a mad man “I’ll make you some ramen.”
Jay is shocked to see Vinny agreeing to go along with his ridiculous excuse. The smile directed at him should be enough of a warning for whatever will happen. Jay ignores the small part of him that wants to run away. (And also ignore the other part that is pleased at allowing him to stay.)
.
Once inside, Vinny gets to making ramen as he himself was starving after this part-time job. Checking the food and mentally noting what is there and not, to buy later. Lately he’s had to keep atleast the basics stocked as the crew would somehow end at his place for ‘Vinny’s special ramen’. What a bunch of freeloaders Vinny thinks pettily.
Meanwhile Jay sits in the living room and tries not to let himself rearrange things to make space and neat. Eventually he breaks and just moves a few things around. That’s how Vinny finds Jay, in an action of picking one of his hoodie from yesterday and looking for a place to keep. Wanting to see what will happen, Vinny guides Jay, “Hoodie goes to that basket near the shelf.”
Jay nods at his words and does as instructed. A beat. Jay whips around to look at Vinny surprised and embarrassed at having just followed what the other man said.
“Ah.. Vinny..” Jay fumbles for an escape, sighs embarrassed, “Just wanted to make space. Everything’s here.”
“Hmm.”
“…”
“Well the foods ready.” Is what Vinny says after staring at like a new lab rat.
Once the food is divided among the two, Jay says before eating, “ Thanks for the ramen”
Vinny just about caught what was said to him before he focuses on food. Nobody can distract Vinny from food. Jay thinks that the ramen is as delicious as ever and feels himself unwind from all the stress and tension. Jay appreciates the silence. Even though easy acceptance with just a bit of grumbles makes him feels guilty for being a burden.
Problem arises when Jay offers to do the dishes because he came unannounced and wants to help anyway he can. Vinny doesn’t want Jay to help him with anything. Before there was a group so someone would distract him while others would clean up. This time it’s only Jay. So they end up with one doing the dishes (Jay) and other wiping them down putting them in place(Vinny).
Once everything is done, both of them turn to face each other and just have a stare down. It feels as if the air is charged with electricity in this tiny kitchen and house itself. Jay shivers at the intense look in Vinny’s eyes. Vinny has been tracking Jay and doesn’t miss it. Tilting his head a bit to look at Vinny as some instinct warns to not look away from danger. When did they get this close? Jay thinks noting their clothes brushing. Raising his hands to push Vinny away, he’s never been that much for skinship, Jay the body in front like a rock with no give. It’s as if there no pressure or force being applied. Wow feels like am pushing a wall. Just how strong is this guy!
Vinny for his part has mostly been enjoying the varying reactions display on Jay’s face. Lost in his thoughts, Vinny leans in close to see more of those micro expression. In the meantime, Jay has come to the decision that before coming home Vinny had hit his head to be acting like this.
Glancing around and ignoring the giant red hair all over him, he tries to find something- a water bottle, a pan, anything to use as distraction. Nothing is in grabbing distance. Mentally sighing at his fate, Jay prepares to launch in an argument turns his face back towards Vinny.
First thing that registers to him is Vinny’s very, very close. Noses touching, foreheads almost touching, body space minimal to none. Second is that there’s a soft pressure on his lips. Jay’s eyes widen at that looking down to see that they are indeed lip locked. Glancing back up at Vinny, third and final thing he notices is that said man’s eyes are lidded.
Then he stops noticing as Vinny just pull back a bit, re-arranges his hands, one on his jaw and another on his waist pulling him even closer. Seals their lips together once more.
(It should be noted that Jay.exe had stopped working after those three observations. Jay is very shocked, surprised and embarrassed but underneath those he feels warm in Vinny’s arms.)
It takes a nip on his lower lip to jolt Jay back to reality. He makes a confused sound, swallowed by Vinny who presses forward more firmly. Jay tires to get some space between them then Vinny tilts his head with the hand on his jaw. Their lips slot, Vinny pauses as if waiting for something. Jay doesn’t know how to kiss, still he kind of wants to stay wrapped up in Vinny’s embrace. So he presses forward now. Hesitant lips presses to bold ones. For few moments, it’s just lips sliding against lips. They separate for a breathe.
Looking at Vinny panting and a slight flush raising on his cheeks makes Jay bold. He surges forward now, captures Vinny’s face with his hands and pulls him down for another kiss. This one is more forcefully, involving too much force their teeth clank against each. It makes Vinny chuckle. Both of his hands travel to Jay’s face in a parallel pose and tilts Jay’s face once more, quietly murmurs between the nonexistent space, “open you mouth Baby.”
Both of them flush at the sudden nickname. Jay opens his mouths and the feels a tentative lick at his lower lips. Then a more firm touch. His tongue. Slowly as if afraid, Jay meets him in the middle. Vinny tongue from his mouth retreats and Jay follows after it for another taste. And then Vinny sucks on his tongue, Jay shudders at the sensation, at the warmth that travels through his body. Letting out a sound moan, jay shifts closer to Vinny. His hands are now in Vinny’s hair gripping and lightly pulling at them all the while Vinny seems intent of kissing the sanity out of him. Jay didn’t know kissing could be like this. One of Vinny’s hands travel down towards Jay’s waist and settles there gripping tightly enough. That action pulls another shiver out of Jay. With drool escaping from his mouth, Jay open his mouth more wide as if an invitation, which Vinny gladly accepts. Both of them are panting, there’s drool and wandering, yet just the though of separating seems painful to them.
Eventually they separate as lack of oxygen makes itself known. There’s not much distance between them still just enough to breathe. Vinny and Jay take up the others appearance, both disheveled, panting, flushed faces, drool marks and all.
Want makes itself known to them. They want more.
This time they meet halfway. Kissing for a while probing, tongs interweave, nips become bites on lips. Jay pulls away with a groan and tilts his head to get some more air. Taking his chance, Vinny bends down and starts kissing along the neck so generously offered to him. Feeling gentle wet kisses on his neck, Jay sighs pleasantly one of his hands travel down the well muscled chest to rest at hips. Wordlessly, Vinny’s hands land on top of his and put pressure. When he tightens his grip, Vinny sighs pleasantly into his necks. Resuming his path of discovery, Vinny finds the sensitivity spot behind the ear and sucks. The response he gets is delicious. Jay’s grip tighten on him, on his hair and waist, chest pushing closer to his and tilts his head even more. “Mmm.” Vinny growls in his ear. Getting a whimper in response from Jay. Trailing his kisses back to Jay’s face, Vinny finds Jay flushed with a heavy lidded eyes looking at him as if begging for more.
Wanting to see if Jay was alright Vinny asks concerned yet mischievously, “Jay.. Baby, you alright?”
Blinking at him through the syrupy mess that’s his mind, Jay takes a moment to answer, “huh.?” Blinking few times as if to clear the haze settled “Yea I’m fine.. j-just tired." Another blink at Vinny clears some more of the fog Jay says, “..warm..” And promptly nuzzles close to the source of heat.
Vinny is now just standing with an armful of Jay Jo who’s looking as of he’ll collapse or fall asleep at any moment. He’s surprised, at the enigma in his arms. He thought Jay would most definitely throw a punch at him or just storm out instead of this. To him the kiss was accidental and more experimental. Still he can’t seem to unwrap his arms from around Jay. Sighing at the feelings that are banging about in his head. He thinks if I have to think more, I’ll be sitting instead of standing around.
Nudging Jay, Vinny tries to get him to move, “ Jay, let’s go to the living room and sit.”
Only response he gets is a hum and arms tightening.
Looking around, he spots a water bottle almost within reach and grabs it to give it to Jay. Maybe the oxygen deprivation got to him Vinny thinks amused.
“Here, drink this Jay!” Vinny gives him the opened bottle and had to make him drink as the guy is almost asleep.?
Water helps a bit. And they migrate under the window.
As they settle down on the mattress, front door opens and in comes Vinny’s mom, Iseul Hong, who’s surprised to see his son and his friend there. Most of the days when she come back home it’s either to an absent house and son out late or on rare days his friends would be there. This time it’s just the guy with thick glasses.
“Vinny..” She starts with surprises and worried, “..is every thing alright?” Vinny has a caught doing something wrong expression on his face. It’s worrying her.
“Yeah mom everything’s fine! This one here fell asleep while reading. Don’t worry!” Vinny tells her half truths and prays that his face is not that flushed now. (And its true, as soon as they sat down Jay fell asleep.)
Iseul is concerned but knows that shouting will ensure if she asks more. Still unconvinced and worried, she drops the topic. She can see the other boy almost fully on Vinny’s lap buy lets it slide this time. Changing topics she asks, “Son! Did you had dinner? What about your friend? Also! How was your day? How was school?”
By the end Vinny’s overwhelmed a bit, grateful that topics been changed, but now how to answer her questions without waking Jay. Slowly maybe.
“Mom! What’s with the questions! My day was fine and we’ve both eaten!” Vinny answers back. I’ll wake this guy so he can go home
“Alright! I bought some groceries.. lemme put them and go freshen up.” Iseul eventually says. She’s very interested in this friend of Vinny’s. Never has she seen this side of Vinny and not with this friend certainly! I wonder what happened? Maybe if I ask subtly he’ll tell me. Giggling to herself about the situation, she quickly goes to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Vinny was trying to see whether Jay was alright or not. It would be bad for him if their ace would be injured because of what happened earlier. They’ll kill me he thinks though it did feel good. Hehe.. never thought the ace freak had it in him. Shaking those thoughts away, Vinny focuses on waking Jay up.
(For Jay it was peaceful and warm. Just what he was looking for. And then the rumbling voice started making it even more nice. )
Shaking the sleeping boy, Vinny calls out, “Jay! Wake up!” “hmm” “OH COMEON! Jay wake up!!” near shouting in Jay’s ear does the trick.
Sleepily blinking at him, Jay questions, “Vinny.!?”
“Who else dumbass?” Vinny scoffs at him, “ Or did you forgot already? You came here! Remember!?”
A moment later the haze clears and Jay flushes at the memory that comes to his mind- heavy lidded heterochromatic eyes looking at him-a low voice calling him ‘baby’. Embarrassed and uncertain at how to behave around the red-hair, jay looks around for his things which are just his bag and phone. Not finding them, he turns around to ask for those items when he notices their position. I’m almost on him! Fuck! Scrambling away from Vinny, he asks, “Did you see where my bag & phone is?”
Amused at how Jay’s behaving Vinny lets out a laugh. The situation is also hilarious.
At this time, bathroom door opens and Iseul comes out. Once again surprised and happy to hear her boy laugh so happily. This friend of his might be a special or a good one!
Jay scowls at Vinny knowing he’s the reason for it, he grumpily asks, “Stop laughing and tell me where my things are!?”
Still amused Vinny answers, “Over there, by that table.”
Gathering his things, Jay turns towards Vinny and Vinny’s mom taking his leave, “Its late, I’ll be going now.” Iseul stops him before he can even step towards the door. Looking at her concerned face Jay knows what’s going to come and prepares to refute, looks behind her to see Vinny staring intently at him with most serious face ever. That looks makes his jaw snap shut.
Iseul is saying something along the lines of ‘I can’t have you go out now so late into the night.. why don’t you call home instead?’ Nodding his compliance, Jay returns back to Vinny’s side.
