"If we hadn't known each other as kids, do you think we would be together?" Younghoon poses on a lazy Sunday morning. Juyeon rolls over to face him.
"What do you mean? Like if our circumstances were just right or if we're... soulmates?"
"Do you believe in soulmates?" Younghoon shoots back at him, flopping onto his back while his fingers tangle in Juyeon's hair.
"No, I don't think so," Juyeon says, tracing the patterns on Younghoon's palm.
"I don't either. But again, do you think we would have been together if we hadn't been neighbours, or if our parents weren't friends?"
"I mean, I'd like to think so. If not, we would have found each other at different points of our lives, but slowly find reasons to get to know each other." Younghoon looks down at Juyeon tucked under his arm with messy bed hair and a drawl to his tone. His heart practically melts in his chest.
"You're such a romantic Juyeonie," Younghoon teases and his boyfriend pouts, leaning up on his elbows.
"Sue me for thinking we'd last in another lifetime."
"Aw, come here." Younghoon grins, pulling Juyeon on top of him for a proper, chaste kiss. Juyeon gives in easily, grumbling only when they part.
"No but seriously, don't you think so, hyung? What would have had to change so drastically that we became starkly different people who would never think to pursue each other?" Juyeon asks again, genuinely curious.
"What if our friendship was the catalyst for some butterfly effect, so if it was gone, our defining experiences and character traits would disappear also? Making us less compatible or giving us no reason to bond." Juyeon ponders on it for a moment, then wrinkles his nose.
"Even so, I think at least in college, when we were still malleable and impressionable, we would have hit it off," Juyeon insists, trying to convince himself and Younghoon at the same time.
"Fine, I think you would have been super hot to me even if I hadn't known you when we were five. Actually, even more so if I didn't know you. Would've thought those killer looks were the real deal." Juyeon knows he's being teased but relishes in the compliments anyway.
"Plus, I was smart as hell in university. Still am," Juyeon adds on and Younghoon wants to flick and kiss him at the same time.
"Oh yeah? So getting on the dean's list is a big selling point, hm?"
“Sometimes, being a complete nerd comes in handy." Juyeon shrugs with an air of indifference that makes Younghoon burst out into laughter at the connotations.
"You're impossible," Younghoon mutters, pinching Juyeon's cheeks with his hands. Juyeon holds them, big hands engulfing Younghoon's.
"I know you find my intelligence sexy as hell."
"You know what else I find sexy as hell?" Younghoon gets up on his arms and cages Juyeon's thighs in between his knees.
"You only want me for my body," Juyeon accuses and Younghoon rolls his eyes.
"You're my forever booty call, I'm sorry Ju," Younghoon apologises insincerely but Juyeon is the one that leans up to swallow all the air in Younghoon's throat.
"Wouldn't want to be anything else."
