Jeongin was sitting in his room, several bottles of nail polish standing on his desk while Chan was scrolling through Twitter on his phone, laying on the younger's bed. From time to time he looked up to his boyfriend and smiled as he saw how happy the boy looked while painting his nails pink and putting a lot of glitter on them. Jeongin has always loved glitter and sparkly things.

After the Korean was eventually finished, he waved his hands around to let the air dry the polish and turned his chair around to face Chan, who put his phone away and got up to walk towards the younger. "What do you think?" Jeongin asked with puppy eyes and took another glance at his work, making Chan smile. "They look great, sweetie," the Australian softly answered and kissed his boyfriend's temple.

"Now they fit my phone case," he literally beamed before an idea popped up in his mind, the older already seeing it coming. "Oh my, Channie! Can I paint your nails?! Please!" Jeongin pouted, his big fox puppy eyes once again sparkling in the afternoon sun. "Sure," the Australian just answered, since he loved it when Jeongin was having fun.

Jeongin got off his chair and gestured Chan to sit down, before he rummaged around a box to find his black nail polish, it just fit Chan the best. Not that Chan didn't like colors, he just preferred darker color schemes on himself, yet loved Jeongin's colourful clothes. "Okay, what do you want?" the Korean sat down on the older's lap and opened the cap, wiping the brush over the bottle's edges. "You can do whatever you want, I don't really mind," Chan softly shrugged and rested his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder to take a look at what the younger was doing.

Jeongin nodded before getting out his painting skills and carefully let the brush glide over Chan's finger nails. Some of them got fully painted, for some of them Jeongin got out a fine brush, drawing little hearts on his thumbs and ring fingers along with a fox drawing made with white polish on a fully painted nail.

"You're doing great, sweetie. It looks cute," the Australian smiled and kissed Jeongin's temple, looking at his boyfriend getting shy about receiving a compliment with all the love in the world. He loves how excited Jeongin gets over things he loves and enjoys.

After about two minutes the polish dried and Chan was finally able to touch Jeongin again, who forbid him to move his fingers even a single centimetre since it could ruin the effort he put into carefully creating the nail art. The Australian just laughed at that and did as he was told. Of course he didn't want his boyfriend's work to get destroyed.

"Now," he turned around to the younger with an evil smirk who just expectantly looked up at him. "Cuddle time," Chan pouted and opened his arms, waddling towards Jeongin who began giggling after being embraced into his loving arms and was transported onto the bed. The older then got in next to him, hugging his waist and connecting their lips to a short yet loving kiss.

They fell asleep shortly after, Chan now spooning Jeongin while the younger intertwined their fingers and carefully caressed the older's polished nails in his sleep. Smiles were spread across their faces, the cool spring breeze blowing through the window, making Jeongin shiver, whereupon he turned around and cuddled closer to Chan.
