For the first time ever, Jungkook and Seokjin will be sleeping in the same bed together.

Jungkook is nervous as he lies there in the comfort of the unfamiliar bed, waiting for Seokjin to get in as well.

He's all freshened up, put on lotions and moisturizers, and is in his pajamas. Jungkook's never paid much attention to the simplest things, but now that they're getting ready for bed together, he has to notice such things.

Like the way Seokjin plugs his phone in and leaves it on the bedside table, then picks up his book to read. Or the way Seokjin sits up properly on the bed so he can focus— or the fact that he wears glasses.

"Have you always worn glasses?"

Seokjin chuckles at his question. "I usually wear contacts, but yeah. I only wear them at night like this."

His glasses are cute on him.

"You're cuter," Seokjin says as he places his book back down and settles down next to Jungkook, who hadn't realized he'd spoken his thoughts out loud.

They're lying next to each other now and Jungkook holds his breath once they're face-to-face, once he realizes he's been called cute.

"Hyung," he slightly whines, dragging out the vowel. "You can't just say things like that. You're the cute one here."

The fondest smile forms on Seokjin's face. He slips his hand under the blanket and when he finds Jungkook's hand, he brings it into their view and twists his fingers over Jungkook's silver ring.

"We're husbands now. Why can't I say things like that?"

The feeling is so nice, it warms Jungkook's heart more than he thought it ever would. He intertwines their fingers and then pulls Seokjin's hand up to his chest, practically cuddling it.

"Since this is our honeymoon and I like you, I'll let it pass. Also because it makes me warm and it's freezing outside."

Seokjin laughs. "So making you blush is the cure to the weather situation?"

"I mean, cuddling would probably be warmer. It's really cold, you know."

Without missing a single beat, Seokjin scoots closer and pulls the blanket up to their necks. He wraps his arms around Jungkook and nestles his nose into his neck.

"You're right. Much warmer," he mutters against his skin. Jungkook wraps his arms around him too, closing his eyes and feeling the thump of his heart against his chest.

They cuddle like this for a while and Jungkook nearly falls asleep even with the lamp shining in his eyes, but Seokjin lifts his head, stirring Jungkook awake again.

He only backed away enough to look at Jungkook, and their eyes meet seconds before Seokjin speaks.

"I know that you like me," he says unexpectedly. It makes Jungkook freeze. "You wouldn't have married me otherwise. But are you physically attracted to people? To me?"

Jungkook blinks in confusion.

"Um. Yes.. Why are you asking me that?"

A slight pout forms on Seokjin's lips. "I'm sorry. I know you want to take things slow, but I was just curious if you ever actually wanted to... I don't know."

Jungkook frowns, upset as he realizes whatever this is has been on Seokjin's mind for longer than only today, when he looked down at Jungkook's lips during their wedding.

"Do you want to kiss, hyung?"

Seokjin squirms a little and he flips over onto his back to avoid Jungkook's eyes. "I don't— I don't wanna push you or anything. I just wanted to know..."

"It's not that I don't want to, hyung. I guess I'm a bit reserved and shy, but I don't mean to keep you waiting for so long."

Seokjin frowns now. "I'll wait however long you want, Jungkook."

Again, he feels cared for, but he doesn't want to be unfair to Seokjin, especially not if he wants the same thing.

"Hyung," he mutters softly. He doesn't continue until Seokjin looks at him. "Please kiss me."

Seokjin leans in, but not enough to close the gap between them. "What if you don't like it and I ruin our wedding day?"

Jungkook scoffs. "You could never ruin any day of mine and I know I'll like kissing you because I like you. So kiss me, please."

Seokjin's eyes fall to his lips for a second time today and Jungkook puckers his lips slightly. "This isn't romantic or anything special, though."

"We'd be having our first kiss on our wedding day. How much more special could it get, hyung?"

"I don't know, something cute. Not while we're in pajamas and glasses."

Jungkook would like a better timing and place as well, but he doesn't say that. "Kiss me when the moment feels right, then. You have my full permission to do it, but under one condition."

Seokjin's body becomes less tense, but he looks skeptical.

"What one condition?"

Jungkook smiles. "As long as you cuddle me, you can kiss me whenever. But you have to keep cuddling me for the rest of our lives, though."

Seokjin quickly turns his lamp off and this time when he buries himself under Jungkook's chin, they plan to sleep, and Seokjin now has permission to kiss him whenever he wants to.

Jungkook sleeps happily with Seokjin in his arms and their legs tangled together for warmth, happy because he knows Seokjin plans to kiss him now.
