jaehyun and doyoung were still on the floor, jaehyun having his arms wrapped securely around doyoung's body while their lips were touching and their eyes were widened.

they were both completely frozen, not daring to move a muscle.

doyoung was the first one to regain his spirits after whet felt like an eternity.

he quickly wiggled out of jaheyun's embrace, standing up to his feet as jaehyun did the same in front of him.

"h-huh..." doyoung let out, his cheeks redder than ever, and his heart beating madly in his chest. he was about to collapse on the floor again because of the way his body was reacting to this kiss.

jaehyun was in the same state, his eyes glued to doyoung's ones as his heart was trying to get out of his ribcage.

this was the best moment to confess. it wasn't as he had planned it, but hopefully it will be even better that how he had planned it.

one problem though, the rush of adrenaline that was pumping through his veins was so strong that the demon had completely forgotten what he had prepared for his confession.

"i-i'm s-sorry..." doyoung let out. "i-i t-tripped..."

jaehyun gulped, trying to find the courage to speak.

he knew he would say exactly what he had planned.

his mind was disfunctionning at the moment, he couldn't remember all the words, all the metaphors he had prepared for it to be one of the best moments of their lives.

but he needed to talk.

he needed to confess.

"i like you, doyoung." he spilled, his lips quivering madly after those words got pronounced crystal clear.

it had been short, it had been sweet, and this way to tell it was way better than any monologue on how your loved one reminded you of a cherry blossom tree whose flowers were slowly appearing during early spring days.

"j-jaehyun..." doyoung's eyes widened as his heartbeat accelerated again. he took a step forwards, getting closer to the demon.

"i have been liking you for a while now. i was just too scared to tell you." jaheyun continued, slowly regaining his confidence. "but now, i can't hold it in anymore. i want you to know that i like you. i want the whole realm to know that i have fallen deep for you, kim doyoung." he marked a small pause, his eyes never leaving doyoung's. "you may not return those feelings, but i don't care, doyoung. seeing you happy will make me happy, whether you find your happiness in me or in another man. i won't try to convince you that i'm the best man for you because everything will be difficult. we're from different realms, from opposite worlds, and this union could cause a discord at the head of the realms. but i don't care either. i like you, and i'm ready to endure any pain if this means that i can call you mine."jaehyun continued speaking very calmly. "so, kim doyoung... will you become my boyfriend despite all the risks that our union could give birth to?"

doyoung's smile widened throughout jaehyun's speech.

his heart pumped so fast in his chest, making him question if he wasn't going to pass out very soon.

so, jung jaehyun liked him back, and he wanted doyoung as his boyfriend?

"y-yes." doyoung stammered, still shocked by the sudden confession – but very happy about it.

"yes?!" jaehyun repeated, as if to make sure that he had heard the word right.

"yes, jung jaehyun. i'd love to be your boyfriend." doyoung chuckled.

jaehyun didn't waste a second to pull his new boyfriend closer, gluing their bodies in a warm hug.

to doyoung's biggest pleasure, he could feel the heat radiating from his boyfriend's body, and that added to the fire that had been lit in the pit of his stomach made him realise that he hadn't been cold for a while. all that thanks to jung jaehyun.

jaehyun pulled away from the jug after a long minute to cup doyoung's cheeks with his hands and drop a kiss onto his lips, making both of them melt from the inside.

this time, the kiss wasn't just an awkward fall that had resulted in an unintentional kiss. this time, it was a real kiss, moulding lips against each other, and sometimes involving tongues to the battle. a real kiss to show each other how much they shared the same love.

"well, well, well..." yuta appeared next to them with a big grin on his face.

"i see that you two are together..." sicheng added with the same expression.

"we never expected it." yuta finished.

jaehyun and doyoung pulled out from the kiss, the demon turning doyoung around and back hugging him tight.

"you are two little weasels." jaehyun said, eying them both. "couldn't you let fate do what it had to do?"

"well, we could have." sicheng shrugged.

"but it would have taken ages." yuta completed.

"yeah, but with your little masquerade, doyoung almost got hurt again. and what if i wasn't there to catch him? and what if he had fallen on his already wounded nose?!" jaehyun scolded them.

"jae..." doyoung whispered, one of his hands caressing jaehyun's bare arm. "don't scold them like that... they did that to help us, and they did well. we're together now, that's what's important. we should be thanking them."

both yuta and sicheng nodded at doyoung's words, proud smiles appearing on their faces.

"yeah... you're right..." jaehyun shrugged. "thank you for your help guys. and sorry for scolding you."

"don't worry about that." sicheng replied.

"it was our pleasure." yuta concluded.

♨/❄

doyoung walked across the school corridors, his slim hand being intertwined with his boyfriend's muscular and veiny one.

it felt so good, being able to call the other yours.

after so long, jaehyun and doyoung were finally together, happy.

they received a few stares while walking in the corridors.

they were quite used to those since they had been the centre of attention for two months now.

but doyoung couldn't help but get flustered whenever he saw the jealous stares of the girls around, or when he heard the whistles of the boys.

anyway, jaehyun was his now, and he was there for him to feel safe.

"what am i seeing there?" a voice made the two lovers stop in their tracks.

"lee taeyong..." jaehyun rolled his eyes, tightening his grip on doyoung's hand. "long time no see." he added sarcastically.

"am i seeing the new queen of the realm here?" taeyong asked, his eyes diverting between doyoung and their intertwined hands.

"taeyong, stop bothering us." jaehyun sighed.

"are you sure his parents will accept him being the queen of the demon realm? or will you to be forced to break up?"

jaehyun's jaw clenched at taeyong's annoying behaviour. "listen, you didn't get to get called the queen of the demon realm, but don't let your jealousy take over the others' good mood."

with that said, jaehyun pulled doyoung away, leaving taeyong on his own, in the middle of the corridor.

"very good taeyong..." he whispered to himself. "now that they fit perfectly together, you'll need to find an excuse in order not to starve to death... i hate my life..."
