donghyuck stole renjun from his two boyfriends as soon as him and mark were back to their apartment.

after sealing this promise on the pont des arts, and after sharing a sweet, long-lasting kiss, mark and donghyuck had both walked back to the apartment hand in hand, with big smiles plastered on their faces and light hearts.

both for them had waited so long for something to happen, the two of them silently hoping that the other would take their love into consideration and act.

but it was done now. their 'fight' had been all forgotten, replaced by blooming love.

"you look happy." renjun declared as soon as donghyuck closed the door of his and mark's room, leaving mark to speak with jeno, jaemin and surely chenle and jisung in the kitchen.

"that's because i am." donghyuck told, jumping on the bed and patting the space next to him so that renjun could join him.

"is this because of your date?" renjun raised a brow as he took place on the soft mattress.

"it wasn't a date..." donghyuck rolled his eyes, his smile never disappearing from his face – he was wondering if it would disappear one day.

"sure, locking a padlock on the most romantic bridge of paris is nothing like a date..." renjun snorted, making donghyuck sit up immediately.

"how the hell do you know about that?!" his eyes widened. "you didn't spy on us, didn't you?!"

"chill." renjun pulled on donghyuck's arm to make the honey-haired lie down again. "mark planned everything with jeno and jaemin. and i'm their boyfriend, meaning i get some infos."

"and you didn't tell me?!" donghyuck gasped. "you little snitch!" he added, hitting renjun's shoulder.

renjun and donghyuck hadn't met each other so long ago. in fact, there were still plenty of things that they didn't know about each other. but they had immediately clicked, as if their personas were perfectly compatible, friendlily speaking.

they had a lot in common, whether it is in their way to deal with things, or simply things they liked – and mostly the fact they were both obviously bottoms – and this made them very close and understanding of each other.

these few days out of the camp had allowed them to become linked tightly, and both of them would agree on the fact that they had developed a strong loving bond that they would break for nothing in the world.

there was like an unspoken promise between them, assuring that they would protect each other and take care of the other no matter what happened. and they truly enjoyed this relationship they had.

"come on..." renjun laughed. "i'm sure the best part of it was the surprise..."

donghyuck thought for a few seconds, flashes of his night with mark appearing on his mind. "yeah..." he let out.

"does that mean mark and you aren't fighting anymore?" renjun asked.

"we're okay now." donghyuck hummed in confirmation.

"tell me everything about it." renjun rolled on the bed, getting on his stomach. "i want to know."

"we walked all the way from the place we watched the sunset to the pont des arts. it took us so much time, my legs were hurting like hell in the end." donghyuck started. "and during all that time, we didn't exchange a word. well, i asked him if we were almost there when my legs hurt too much, but he gave a quick and cold reply."

"typical hades." renjun shrugged.

"and then we got on the bridge. once we were there, he gave me a whole speech about how he was sorry, and he loved me. and then we locked the padlock, and we threw the key, and then he kissed me, and now we're back at- "

"he wHAT?!" renjun interrupted donghyuck with a scream.

"he kissed me..." donghyuck repeated slowly.

"he did?!" renjun's eyes widened. "i'm so happy for you!! give me more details!"

donghyck's cheeks flushed a bit as he explained more carefully everything that had happened an hour earlier.

he made sure to explain how the cold atmosphere that enveloped both of them at first had slowly warmed up when mark decided to break the ice and voice his feelings out.

donghyuck didn't forget to tell renjun everything that went through his mind, and how his heart felt with each sentence mark pronounced. he didn't forget to mention the kiss, and the explosion of feelings that had occurred inside his chest at that moment.

renjun was listening to donghyuck's sayings very carefully, cooing from time to time, and never forgetting to give his opinion about what happened.

he was genuinely happy for his friend. he knew that donghyuck liked mark very much, and that the argument that had going on was hurting him deep down.

but now that everything was going better between him and mark, renjun felt like everything would go back to normal between the seven boys, and this could only mean a better future – but will it assure a better future?

a knock on the door interrupted their talking session – that had lasted approximately an hour by now. the boys on the other side of the door didn't even wait for a response to push the door open.

"we're here because we're heading to bed, and we'd like to have our boyfriend back." jaemin informed, smiling at the two boys.

"we were having a talk..." donghyuck pouted cutely.

"you've been talking for an hour now." jeno said. "don't you want to be with mark?"

"oh, yes!" donghyuck nodded excitedly.

"then, we take renjun!" jaemin stated.

ares' son approached the bed, grabbing his boyfriend's ankle and pulling it quite harshly, making renjun's body slide above the covers, and land right in jaemin's arms.

jaemin lifted renjun up bridal style easily as he walked to the door.

"good night donghyuck!" he declared as him, jeno and renjun headed out while mark entered the room.

the three boyfriends got inside their own room, jaemin placing the smaller on the bed.

"who's first to shower?" renjun asked, tilting his head to the side.

"thunderbolt and i had the time to shower while you were having bottom talk with donghyuck." jaemin stated, poking jeno's cheek.

"come on, not that nickname..." jeno rolled his eyes, trying to bite jaemin's finger.

"why not? i love it." jaemin said, looking at jeno deep in the eye while biting his lip.

"i'm sure you'll love even better what you'll call me in bed when i'll- "

"okay!!" renjun interrupted jeno's dirty sentence. "let's stop getting horny! so, i'm the one using the bathroom right now."

"unless you'd like us to shower with you..." jaemin diverted his gaze towards the smaller male.

"yeah, we wouldn't mind..." jeno added, approaching his older boyfriend.

"no, thanks!" renjun squeaked, his heart beating fast inside his chest. "i can shower on my own!" he said quickly before closing the bathroom's door and locking it behind his back

"oh, too bad... i really would have liked to screw him." jaemin pouted like a baby.

jeno nodded. "god mee too..."

"i can still hear you!" renjun told from the other side of the door.

"have a quick shower, baby." jeno said. "we're waiting for you to go to bed."

after a few minutes, they were able to hear the water running inside the bathroom, meaning that renjun was enjoying his shower. on the other side of the door, the two horny males were lying on the bed, jaemin sitting between jeno's legs as he had his back resting against jeno's chest.

"renjun makes you soft, it's incredible..." jeno declared as his hand tangled with jaemin's hair.

"when he doesn't make me horny, yeah." jaemin nodded, surprised by the way renjun had changed his moody and short-tempered persona in a more caring and calmer one.

"i mean... have you seen those curves..." jeno whistled.

"right." jaemin nodded. "i've been served. one of my boyfriends is the hottest man on earth, and the other is the most gorgeous."

"same for me. i found myself two beautiful submissive boyfriends." jeno hummed in content.

"excuse me?!" jaemin choked on his saliva. "i'm not submissive!"

"oh, really?"

"y- aghh..."

just as jaemin was about to answer, jeno's veiny hand travelled from jaemin's flat stomach to his neck, tightening his grip on the vital part of jaemin's body without mercy.

the effect was instantaneous: jaemin moaned loudly, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as his back arched at the pleasuring feeling of jeno holding him so tight.

it felt good having jeno being this powerful over him, as if he could choose whether jaemin would live or die. it turned him on so much...

"not submissive?" jeno whispered in jaemin's ear, not forgetting to bite the lobe, making jaemin let out another breathy moan.

"y-yeah, okay..." jaemin said quickly, making jeno chuckle.

"good boy..." jeno growled, before letting go jaemin's neck and resting back on the head rest.

jaemin sighed, looking down between his legs to see he was hard.

"well, done... now i'm hard." jaemin rolled his eyes.

"i'm not sure renjun would be pleased if we do anything without him..." jeno shrugged, internally smiling evilly.

"what do i do?" jaemin lifted his head.

"it will eventually disappear..."

jaemin tried to forget about his boner as jeno and him started conversing again about a random topic.

this was working pretty well, because after a few minutes, jaemin's dick had calmed down, and was back to its resting shape.

but sadly, this didn't last for long... renjun had decided to exit the bathroom at the same moment, wearing nothing but the oversized shirt he had bought at the disney store.

and seeing renjun in a grey oversized shirt with the word 'princess' written in pastel pink letters wasn't helping. and this was mostly because the shirt was so big one of his shoulders and collarbones were visible and its length left to jeno and jaemin the imagination of what could be under.

"oh, my fuck..." jaemin let out, his dick waking up immediately at the hot sight.

"i told him you would love that shirt..." jeno replied, his mouth as agape as jaemin's as his eyes didn't leave renjun's body. he had already imagined renjun wearing that shirt inside the store, but let's be honest, he wasn't imagining it could look this hot on him.

"i'm tired." renjun stretched his arms above his head, making the shirt lift up until the top of his milky thighs was visible. he was completely unaware of the effect he had on the two other boys, blame it on his innocence – or his boyfriends' horniness... "let's go to sleep?"

"not right now." jeno growled, sending shivers through jaemin and renjun's spines.

and this was the start of a long night.

Ω

jisung's eyes opened in the middle of the night because his shoulder was being shook by someone.

"jisung!"

"what...?" poseidon's son mumbled, opening his eyes slowly.

"come with me for a second."

jisung groaned as he recognized mark's voice.

what could he want at that time of the night?

the sky was pitch black – even if the artificial lights of the city made it seem like it was daylight – and the house was completely silent.

"what do you want...?" jisung asked, looking at mark.

"i need your help. it's important." mark explained.

"yeah, okay." jisung rolled his eyes, knowing better than angering hades' son.

the tall boy tried slipping off chenle's embrace, making the chinese boy groan in his sleep at the loss of warmth.

"jisung..." chenle whined half-asleep.

"shh, go back to sleep. i'm coming back in a minute." jisung told silently.

"i'm waiting for you..." chenle mumbled.

"okay." jisung dropped a kiss on the boy's forehead before standing up and walking to the living room where mark was surely waiting for him. he knew chenle was going to fall asleep immediately anyway.

once jisung was out of his room, he was surprised to find mark standing next to the frontdoor.

"why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?" jisung asked with a yawn.

"i need you to come with me. it's very important." mark declared, opening the front door and heading out.

"what?" jisung raised a brow, surprised. "why?"

"i'll tell you when we'll be there." mark assured as jisung followed him. was it that jisung was too asleep to fight? or just that he knew it was not worth fighting with mark?

"why is your hair wet?" jisung asked out of curiosity, seeing mark's hair dripping with water.

"it's not important."

mark led jisung across the lit-up streets of paris, still alive despite the late hour of the night.

they walked for a dozen of minutes, jisung starting to wonder what mark was up to, but he was too tired to ask.

in fact, jisung had been too focused on the sleep he was losing because of mark that he hadn't noticed where mark had brought him.

"we're here." mark declared, waking jisung up from his trance.

poseidon's son looked at his surroundings, his brows furrowing more with each second passing.

"why are we under the pont des arts?" he asked confusedly.

"do you remember the key i had the other night?" mark asked. "with the ribbons."

"yeah." jisung nodded.

"i need you to find it and bring it back to me." mark declared.

jisung's eyes widened at those words. was mark serious?

why would he search for this key? it opened the lock and him and donghyuck had placed on the pont des arts to seal their promise.

was it why mark had his hair wet? because he was looking for that key?

"why do you need the key?" jisung asked.

"i just need it." mark sighed.

"you aren't going to open the padlock, are you?" jisung raised a brow skeptically.

"this is none of your business." mark growled.

"you and hyuck made a promise. you can't break it like that. i'm not going to get the key!" jisung argued, now angry at mark's behaviour.

"jisung, go and give me the key." mark started losing his patience.

"go find it yourself!" jisung declared, raging.

"okay..." mark bit his lip in anger. "let's see if this makes you change your mind."

in a snap of fingers, a cloud of black smoke appeared next to mark, and when it disappeared, a cage had materialized next to him, making jisung gasp in horror at the person locked inside that cage.

"jisung, bring me back that key, or she dies." mark told firmly, pointing his scythe at jisung's mother's neck as she was trembling inside the death prison mark had created.
