mark walked down the giant staircase of chenle's house after placing the sleeping donghyuck in their shared bed.

he headed directly towards the living room where he found jaemin sitting on one of the couches with renjun curled up on his lap.

"where are jisung and chenle?" mark asked, taking a seat not so far from jaemin and renjun.

"surely making out in chenle's room." renjun replied with a shrug.

"oh, yeah. wait!" mark's eybrows furrowed as he looked at renjun more in detail.

"what?" the chinese boy asked.

"you're in your sane mind, and you're cuddling jaemin? when you have a boyfriend?" mark spoke, quite weirded out by the situation.

"excuse me, but his little mind is sane too." jaemin replied, protectively holding renjun close.

"and who said i couldn't have more than one boyfriend?" renjun continued.

"WHAT?!" mark yelled.

"shut up!" jeno appeared in the living room and hit the back of his head. "if you keep being loud, you're going to wake your boyfriend up."

"no, no, no. but i need an explanation." mark shook his head before looking at the three males.

jeno sat down next to jaemin on the sofa, and so, renjun laid down on both their laps.

"an explanation on what?" jeno asked, his hand ruffling renjun's hair.

"on... that!" mark replied, pointing at the three boys acting strangely close for simple friends.

"what's wrong with us being like that?" renjun spoke, his eyes closed as he appreciated the head massage jeno was giving him.

"nothing. but... are you three together?" mark questioned.

"no." both jeno and jaemin replied at the same time, confusing mark even more that he already was.

"b-but..."

"look mark." renjun declared, sitting up on the boys' laps. "all three of us know that we're gay and that we accept poly relationships. so, it's our job to find the right moment to ask each other out. you understand?"

mark blinked a few times, his eyes staring at the three boys on the couch.

"yeah, okay." he nodded. "i'll go and get chenle and jisung then, while you figure out your feelings and do what you want to do." he added before climbing up the staircase leading to the bedrooms quickly.

once he had disappeared from the room, both jaemin and jeno looked at the chinese male sitting on their laps.

"so, we're all gay and we all accept poly relationships?" jaemin raised a brow as a smirk decorated his face.

"w-well... t-that's what i understood..." renjun stammered, feeling so small under the gaze of the two taller males.

"i guess you understood well, baby." jeno smiled before kissing renjun's lips softly.

jaemin looked at the two boys with heart eyes, the fact that they had been kissing in front of him not bothering him the slightest – actually, it was almost turning him on.

"jaemin."

the pink-haired boy was cut off his daydream as he looked at jeno in the eye.

"yes?" he asked, his head tilting to the side.

"don't look at us with this look of envy." jeno chuckled.

"come and join us." renjun added.

"j-join you...?" jaemin raised a brow, needing a precision on the way he should join them. should he get closer? should he kiss them? should he become their boyfriend?

"show him." jeno declared as he lifted renjun effortlessly to place him on jaemin's lap, with a knee on each side of jaemin's thighs.

once renjun was settled there, the chinese male wrapped his arms around jaemin's neck and leant forwards, his lips finding jaemin's easily.

jaemin's eyes widened as he didn't hesitate to kiss back and pull the boy closer by gripping his hips.

next to them, jeno admired the two boys kissing passionately, teeth and tongues slowly getting involved in this sweet kiss that soon became a make-out session.

but thankfully, jeno stopped it before anything could get too intimate.

"don't suffocate him." jeno warned, pulling renjun away from the pinkette. "i still need to kiss him too."

with that said, jeno used his hand to cup jaemin's cheek and turn his head so that the pink-haired was facing him. this time, jaemin's giddiness allowed him to make the first step and lean forwards to kiss jeno with the same intensity as renjun.

however, if jaemin was the one to lead the kiss with renjun, this time, he found himself losing the tongue battle – perhaps had he been too exhausted by renjun's kiss? – and letting jeno master him completely. it did feel amazing as well.

the two boys pulled away from their kiss when oxygen started to ack in in their lungs.

they both stayed close though, their eyes never leaving each other.

"so? are we boyfriends now?" renjun cut their intense eye contact, making all the attention come on him.

"i thought this was clear by now." jeno replied with a brow raised.

"so... you accept me?" jaemin inquired.

"how could we not?" renjun scoffed.

"you're literally perfect for both of us." jeno told, his hand caressing the boy's face lightly.

"and even better, you're my other caregiver." renjun added.

jaemin looked at the two boys with a smile, wondering what he had done to be surrounded by such angels.

"so, from now on, you two are my boyfriends?" jaemin asked.

"you understand quickly." renjun chuckled, kissing jaemin's cheek.

"welcome among us, love." jeno whispered, kissing his other cheek, and making their three hearts beat in unison.

✯

"atomic bomb!!" chenle yelled, his words followed by a loud splash that wet all the boys that were around.

"chenle! stop wetting me! i'd like to stay dry!" jeno groaned, using a towel to wipe the droplets of chlorinated water he had received because of chenle's bomb.

the boys were all together, enjoying the cool water of the pool before the night set and the temperature got down drastically.

chenle and jisung were acting like children, jumping from the edge of the pool every now and then, and often wetting the people around.

mark, jaemin and renjun didn't mind because they were inside the pool, but jeno who had gotten out because he was getting cold had enough of their splashing activities.

"oh! look who woke up!" jeno declared, catching the attention of the five other boys that were in the pool.

"baby!" mark exclaimed, looking at his boyfriend who was tiredly rubbing his eyes.

the canadian immediately got out of the pool and approached his boyfriend while the other boys got back to their previous activities – chenle and jisung jumping in the pool, and renjun and jaemin cuddling in the water.

"how was your sleep?" mark asked, kissing odnghyuck's forehead while being careful not to wet him too much.

"it was good." donghyuck replied, unconsciously leaning on mark.

"don't come too close, baby. you're going to get your clothes wet." mark warned.

"i don't care..." donghyuck replied, this time hugging mark fully.

"aww... look at the two lovebirds..." chenle declared, pointing at mark and donghyuck hugging.

"shut up or i tell everybody how i found you and jisung kissing each other on your bed a while ago!"mark replied, making chenle and jisung flush beet red at the same time.

"WHAT?!" both renjun and jeno yelled at the same time.

"i'm not even surprised." jaemin snickered as he rolled his eyes.

"we were kissing! there's nothing wrong with that!" chenle said, his cheeks still bright red.

"of course not." mark replied. "but let's say that i walked in at the best moment. i don't know what shit you two would have been up to a few minutes later."

this remark got all the boys laughing hard expect for the two concerned boys who looked like they would pass out from embarrassment in a few seconds.

"come on! don't look at us like that!" jaemin said between laughs.

"we're getting older, it's normal to have sexual intercourse!" renjun added.

"we weren't about to have sex!" chenle yelled, frustrated.

"yeah, we're just letting you know that it's okay." mark laughed.

chenle and jisung decided to cut the conversation short and stop replying to their friends to continue their splashing activities. renjun and jaemin stopped questioning them as well.

mark brought donghyuck to a deckchair where he sat down with donghyuc on top of him.

the boy seemed to have woken up a bit more as he looked more vivid that a few minutes prior. he was looking at the two youngest boys playing around in the pool.

"baby, do you want to- "

"have you ever had sex?" donghyuck cut mark's question, flushing red immediately after saying it.

mark's brows furrowed as he looked at the boy shyly hiding in the crook of his neck.

"why are you asking me that?" mark whispered, trying to get donghyuck to look at him.

"i-i don't know... you seemed to know about it... you know...? when you told chenle and jisung..."donghyuck replied, his eyes looking everywhere except at mark.

"i've never had sex before." mark replied. "but, yeah... porn and... i'm a 20-year-old boy, so..."

the two boyfriends looked at each other very awkwardly, not really knowing how to get out of this dead end.

"have you...?" mark asked with a cough.

"have i what?"

"ever had sex." mark continued, his cheeks flushing.

"n-no." donghyuck shook his head. "and... i have very little experience because of... well... little space..."

"oh, yeah." mark nodded. "i see."

"but if you want us to... you know? i guess i can..." donghyuck shyly said, blushing hard.

"oh!" mark gulped. "well... yeah... but i don't want to pressure you or anything..." mark told quickly.

"what are you two talking about to blush and stutter like this?" jeno asked, catching both mark's and donghyuck's attention.

"nothing!" they both replied at the same time.

"sure..." jeno rolled his eyes.

mark and donghyuck looked at each other again before giggling together.

"we still have time, okay?" mark spoke, placing donghyuck's head over his chest.

"yeah." donghyuck nodded, inhaling the boy's addicting scent.

now that they were boyfriends, they still had their whole life to go further.

there was no need to get pressured.

the simple fact they were in love was enough for them for the moment.
