Chapter Fifty-eight (1/2)

New Year comes up, making it not only the new year, but also Joshua's birthday.  Joshua is turning twenty-three.  He looked around at the guests that were at the party.  His grandparents are here just like earlier in the week for Christmas.  But Yeosang is there with his mother; Nana is in the background; and of course Jaemin's family has been invited. Joshua couldn't help but wrap his arms around Jaemin tightly, holding him close and protectively.  Jaemin chuckled and patted Joshua's back.  "Like I would miss my Joshi's birthday."  He pulled back to bring their lips together. Joshua giggled and pulled away, taking Jaemin by the hand and sneaking him upstairs.  No one noticed due to all of the excitement through the downstairs rooms.  It got quieter as they reached Joshua's room.  There, the owner of the room closed and locked the door. "Josh?"  Jaemin looked back at him. "I want to cuddle,"  He pushed Jaemin to his bed, "just for a little while.."  He muttered, pushing his head against the younger's chest. Jaemin stroked the older's soft, brown hair.  Humming as he relaxed.  "How was your Christmas, Joshua?"  He asked, making conversation. "Mingyu made a big dinner,"  Joshua started.  Being that they need to focus on working when being at the cafe, Joshua hasn't been able to tell Jaemin how it went until now.  "Oh, and Yeosang came over."  He snapped his finger. "Does Jeonghan approve of him?"  He asked, letting Joshua play with the tassels on his sweater. Joshua hummed.  "Yeah, I thought Yeosang was going to be banned for sure."  He chuckled. "Yeosang kinda creeps me out, but don't tell him I said that."  Jaemin laughed, pushing Joshua on his back. Jaemin went atop the older and put their lips together.  "My parents said I could stay the night,"  He said, "I'll give you a good birthday present."  He winked. Joshua blushed at the younger's flirtatious smile.  "The party's not done just yet, you know."  Joshua mentioned as the other started kissing his neck and slowly putting their hips together in a small roll.  "I know,"  Jaemin had a husky voice, "you just need to be quiet."  He said, holding Joshua's hands at head level. Joshua moaned when Jaemin put his tongue in his mouth.  "Jae.."  He muttered silently as he felt the other's hands up his shirt. A knock on the door interrupts them.  Jaemin sat up on his knees and winked at Joshua.  "Guess we'll have to wait."  He said before getting up.  Joshua was slower to getting up, but stood up by the bed when Jaemin opened the door.  Jeonghan pushed past the younger and went up to Joshua.  "Why are you two up here?  You know it's nearing present time."  He folded his arms with a teasing smirk. "Jae was just giving me my present early,"  Joshua said through a fake annoyed tone, "can you believe the hormones on this one?"  He joked. Jeonghan teasingly slapped Joshua's shoulder, motioning Jaemin to leave the room.  The younger did, but he secretly stayed outside the door to listen in. "How is he in bed?"  Jeonghan folded his arms.  "We can talk about it, we're both adults."  He said teasingly. Joshua blushed and thought back.  "He's strong,"  He started, getting really red cheeks, "he lasts a good time too."  He whispered the next part. "Oh really?"  Jeonghan smirked.  "On a scale of one to ten, how broken would the bed be?"  He joked. Joshua laughed and sat on his bed.  "Why are you asking so dirty of questions?"  He asked as Jeonghan sat next to him. Jeonghan shrugged.  "I think I can talk to my son about it.. Let me tell you, Seungcheol's got me tied up."  He said, raising his hands.  "He said a co-worker of his was talking about bondage, and he's kinda.." "Woah, really?"  Joshua held his mouth.  "What all have you done?"  Jeonghan lifted his sleeves a little to show small indentations in his wrists.  "Mostly just the basic stuff.  Putting my wrists above my head and making me wait to cum."  He wasn't hesitant to explain their situation. The parent could tell that Joshua was dying from embarrassment.  "You're twenty-three, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about."  Jeonghan chuckled.  "How do you like it?  Have you and Jae done anything different?"  He asked. Joshua pursed his lips for a moment.  "No.. just the usual thing.  Foreplay is normal with him leading and then.. you know."  He shrugged.  "We haven't really explored other options like that."  He chuckled. Jeonghan shrugged and laid back with Joshua on the bed.  "You don't need a spicy bed for it to be good.  Sometimes sweet is all you need."  He said.  "Our sex isn't getting boring, we're just learning new things.  Like learning what colors you can make with the basics.  Red, yellow, and blue aren't bad; but you can make other colors like orange, green, and purple."  He expounded. Joshua hummed.  "I like that expression.."  He smiled.  "Jaemin and I have to be quiet.. if not for his family, then for you guys.. especially Seokmin."  He chuckled. Jeonghan laughed.  "Oh, poor Seokmin.. You remember what the one thing he put on his birthday list was?"  He asked. "Yeah, to move his bed to the other side of his room.  Instead of against your room, it's against mine."  Joshua answered, holding his stomach while laughing.  "Now I really can't do anything with him here."  He sighed. Jeonghan nodded.  "Cuddles are great and kisses are spectacular.. but it's that bonding experience with your man that we crave, isn't it?"  He sighed as the conversation became serious. "It's not the sex itself.. I just.. I've been wanting to get so close to him, you know?"  Joshua started expressing his feelings.  "When he earns enough, he's going to be moving to Seoul.  I'll barely see him, let alone cuddle.." "Do you two want to go together?"  Jeonghan asked seriously.  "You two are really close.. maybe-" Joshua put his hand up.  "I want to earn my way.  It's what I've been doing since graduating stork school."  He said.  "Once he's done, I should have enough to go to the academy once a week.  I already have it planned out." Jeonghan pursed his lips and held Joshua's hand.  "So even when Jaemin comes back.." "I'm not leaving."  Joshua continued.  "I'm taking internet courses and taking exams at the academy.  I won't move into a dorm.  And while Jaemin's getting his apprentice work, I'll be half-way through learning.  It's perfect."  He smiled.

Jeonghan nodded and sighed.  "You've really thought about it a lot, haven't you?"  He realized.  "I'm proud of you."  Joshua moved his body to push it into Jeonghan's side.  "Just for a few more minutes, can I pretend I'm that five-year-old that never got tired of being held?"  He whispered. Jeonghan smiled and brought the child closer.  "My Joshuji.."  He whispered, "you've grown so much, but you're still my little child."  He continued.  "Seven years ago today, you came to us.. I can't believe it's already been so long." A bittersweet tear left his eye and he wiped it before it could fall into Joshua's hair.  "Nothing's changed though, you're still my child that I want to protect and love; make healthy and happy."  He kissed Joshua's forehead.  "Let's go down and return to the guests.  Give lots of love to Jaemin tonight, okay?" Joshua nodded and stood up with his father.  "There's someone who is consuming Seokmin's heart,"  He brought up, "when they have a chance for a romance together, please accept him."   He bowed. Jeonghan was surprised but nodded nonetheless.  "Whoever has captured my sun, I'm sure that he's good enough."  He assured Joshua.  "Whoever you all choose, I can't be mad about it.  I just want you guys to take your time deciding.  You might only have one chance to decide." "How many chances did you get?"  Joshua asked. "Four, Seungcheol was my fourth and final chance."  Jeonghan chuckled.  "I was blessed to have so many chances.  And let me tell you, Seungcheol is my hero."  He held Joshua's shoulder. Joshua smiled.  "Minhyuk.. he was a bad person.."  Jeonghan said.  "I just don't want any of you to date someone like him.  I want you to date a Seungcheol, a person who loves you and will take care of you."  He kissed Joshua's cheek. "Let's go."  Jeonghan opened the door and Jaemin fell. Joshua had red cheeks looking down at the one who fell.  "Jae?"  He folded his arms. Jeonghan laughed and walked past them.  "Have fun."  He waved as he went down the stairs. Jaemin gets up and clears his throat.  "Uhm.."  He looks at Joshua's strong stance and swallows audibly.  Joshua laughs and takes Jaemin by the collar, pulling him in for a kiss.  "Well now that you heard all of that, it saves me the trouble of telling you."  He said, letting Jaemin have him against the wall next to his bedroom door.  Jaemin blushed and put their lips together semi-aggressively, not paying attention to anything but them.  "I'll love you tonight,"  Jaemin whispered, putting kisses down Joshua's neck and up to behind his ear, "is that okay?"  He asked. "Please,"  Joshua chuckled, "it's been awhile.."  He commented. "I know, thank you for being so patient with me."  He rested his chin on the older's shoulder.  "We should go down before they come up."  He chuckled. Joshua nodded and let the younger guide him down the stairs.

The party continued like usual.  Each guest brought a little gift or said some kind words to Joshua.  They all ate well and counted down to the new year together.  The guests were then seen out of the house by Jeonghan, thanking them for coming by. Jeonghan eyed Yeosang who was stuck to Woozi's waist from behind, giving a small kiss to his neck before walking to the front door.  "If you want to stay, you can."  Jeonghan said with a smile. Yeosang looked back at Woozi for a moment.  "I think Woozi has his hands full.  Jeaemin is staying over, so Seokmin is bunking with Woozi."  He informed.  "They're going to read a book together."  He said.

"That's nice.. I'm glad they're getting along."  He bowed to the younger.  "Have a good year."

Yeosang bowed back before exiting the house.  The last guests left and then the house became silent.  Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol and blushed.  "What?"  He questioned. "The new year isn't over,"  He winked, taking Jeonghan by the arm and guiding him upstairs.

Jeonghan giggled as they made it to their room. Meanwhile, Joshua settles himself next to his boyfriend.  Jaemin has his arm around the boy and looks absentmindedly at the decorations behind Joshua.  "Did you have a good day, Josh?"  He asked.

Joshua hummed and started the kiss.  "I always feel happy on my birthday, it's like a promise of good luck for the new year."  He said, letting Jaemin take the lead.

Jaemin gently put Joshua on his back and he went atop him.  He kissed Joshua softly on the lips before putting the foreheads together.  "Do you want to change anything up tonight?"  He asked as he remembered their conversation earlier in the night.

Joshua laughed and reached to peck Jaemin's lips.  "I want us to be natural, do what we want to do."  He stroked Jaemin's hair.

"Okay,"  Jaemin whispered, "relax, Joshua."

Joshua obeyed and let go of everything.  He felt relaxing touches on his shoulders first and then his knuckles as Jaemin softly sucks on his neck.  Jaemin then lifted Joshua's shirt, kissing both nipples one at a time before subtly pinching them.  He watched as Joshua had a dazed expression before closing his eyes.

Jaemin moves the other male's pants down, kissing his hips and tummy gently.  His lips made it to Joshua's thighs, sucking on the chubby skin there.  He then put his hand around Joshua's member, slowly pumping it while blowing a small breath on it.  "Jae.."  He happily moaned.

"Turn around, Love."  He requested.
