The sleepy, adorable look Ahn-Bo gave him as he blinked awake didn’t exactly help Jin’s situation. He wanted so badly to curl back into Ahn-Bo’s side and not care about whatever his body was trying to tell him; they could kiss languidly and just remain in this happy little moment forever— but that was not the reality of the blazing embarrassment etched all over his face like a beacon. Jin had always dreamed about Ahn-Bo, ever since he was young and they’d first met. For awhile he didn’t understand why but slowly, as he’d aged and recognized that his affections were more than just platonic, the dreams had evolved along with his realization. Last night he hadn’t had any dreams that he remembered but… well. (It made him feel a little bit better that Ahn-Bo-ah seemed to have the same problem, pretend otherwise as he might try.)
Wrinkling his nose and blushing harder at the offhanded little comment, Jin mumbled something that sounded suspiciously along the lines of ‘a means of distraction.’ He normally did speak informally, for the most part, unless he was trying to make a point or, here, draw attention away from something he was awkward or embarrassed about.
Deciding he’d have better luck just getting up, Jin rolled himself up to a seat and scrunched the bedroll in his lap. Instantly the cold air of the cave dampened his energy a bit and the little vampire shivered. It was almost worse to be cold, the thought grumpily. Not almost. Definitely.
Jin raised one hand to rub the sleep from his face as he let his hormones settle. He pointedly looked anywhere but at the wolf he wanted to kiss and instead his gaze caught on the scattering of letters that remained unopened all over the cave. Part of him knew they were his and the stubborn side of Jin that refused to acknowledge these past few months apart dismissed it. He would deal with that later. Instead, he looked towards the dishes they’d left out the evening before. He’d tidy those first.
But reluctance to be more cold kept Jin from moving. He finally turned back towards Ahn-Bo and relaxed the tension in his shoulders, his little problem having mostly passed. It was then that a teasing, if still sheepish grin, stretched across his face. It would be terrible to acknowledge the truth out loud and his face was already warm from the thought, but it was worse to just ignore it. So Jin nudged Ahn-Bo with his toe and laughed lightly. At least they hadn’t made a mess.
