Monsta X Series

The next morning, you and Minhyuk woke up late. As you stretched and sat up in bed, an idea gradually came to you. Looking out the window, you turned this idea over in your mind as Minhyuk rolled over and wrapped his arms around your waist sleepily.
“What’s on your mind?” he asked as he glanced up at you with one sleepy eye. He noticed the introspective look on your face.
“I was thinking how beautiful the gardens of our house used to be. I think I am going to start cleaning them up today.” You told him what had been on your mind since admiring Vernon’s stately home.
“I think that’s a good idea” Minhyuk agreed sitting up and resting his chin on your shoulder his breath ran down your neck and gave you goosebumps.
“The flowers will probably bloom soon if we clean out the flower beds enough” he added.
“That’s what I am hoping for.” You nodded as you got out of the bed and stood up. Bending over to get your clothes, you turned around and noticed Minhyuk staring. He hadn’t made a move to get out of bed.
“Get up, silly” you told him. He blinked and looked up at you.
“Give me a minute” he said laying back down in the bed covering his face with the pillow.
“But if we leave now then we can get an early start. We already slept in late” you grumbled at him, walking to the bed and trying to pull away the covers. He grabbed onto them and didn’t relent his grip.
“Just like two minutes…” he told you.
“Why?” you asked exasperated.
“Guys just need to take a minute before they stand up in the morning” he said.
“You didn’t help by standing there in your underwear.” He added. You froze, and laughed.
“Ok, that’s more than I needed to know” you giggled as you glanced at his lap and turned to leave the room. He sighed and lay back on the bed, rubbing his eyes.
Once out in the kitchen, you decided to leave the tea pots behind. You would get the profits from whoever sold them later. Not to mention it was good for the guys to have access to extra cash in case any of them ran into trouble. Legal trouble, that is.
On the way home, you kept glancing at the sky, noticing he dark clouds that began heading in your direction from far off to the south. Minhyuk followed your gaze and looked at the sky when you sighed out loud nervously.
“Don’t worry. we will make it home before that storm hits” he rubbed your shoulder comfortingly. You picked up your pace as he smiled at your nervousness. He found it cute.
“I had planned on cleaning up the gazebo a bit before it stormed.” You admitted. You had plans to make the outside of the house beautiful before working on the inside. That would be a bit more difficult considering you kept selling off furniture.
“I will help. We can get as much done as we can before we are forced inside by rain” he told you supportively. He knew getting this house back to its former glory was going to mean a lot to you.
Walking through the front gate, you heard thunder rumble off into the distance. You paused in your steps as Minhyuk nudged your shoulder.
“Better get started if you want to clean up a bit.” He said. You nodded following him into the front yard and around to the back yard where the gazebo stood at the end of the long over grown pathway.
Walking up to the small and dilapidated structure, you stopped and looked around at the plants that seemed hell bent on taking it over. You pondered where to start. Minhyuk stood next to you and waited.
“I guess repairing the roof is out of the question” you continued to think out loud and glance around the tall grass that had over taken the base of the gazebo. It had nearly grown up over your knees.
“Let’s pull away some of these plants” you said walking over to a vine that crept along the railing of the gazebo. Minhyuk began pulling the vines off of the other side as well. You and he kept this up until you met in the middle around the back side of the gazebo that faced away from the house. He yanked the last it off and threw it to the side. Seeing the chipped paint on the wood underneath, you had renewed energy to get as much done as possible.
You were determined to make your house beautiful again.
You moved onto the clearing off the loose pieces of wood that had fallen. Taking them to the side of the pond, you and Minhyuk deposited them out of the way. Walking back to the gazebo, Minhyuk looked at the darkening sky over head.
“Maybe we should head inside…” he told you, but you weren’t ready to call it a day.
“It isn’t even drizzling. Let’s clear out the flower beds around the gazebo and then I will be done” you told him. He agreed but felt skeptical. He didn’t want to get caught in the rain and have to make a mad dash for the house.
“I’m wondering if we clear this area out enough those purple irises will come back later this year” you sounded hopeful as thunder sounded overhead. Minhyuk paused and looked up. He noticed the swirling clouds, but you were oblivious. He shook his head and glanced at you in your fury to clean things up. He knew you wouldn’t listen to him when you were in a mood like this.
“There! That looks much better” you stood back triumphantly looking proudly at your handy work.
A large flash of lighting followed by a crack of thunder made you jump. The sky opened up like it had been holding onto this rain for weeks. It came down on top of you and Minhyuk in buckets as he grabbed your hand and ran for the house. It wasn’t too far off, but the two of you were soaked to the bone before you made it onto the porch and inside the back door.
Taking a deep breath and leaning against the wall, you jumped once more as thunder crashed overhead. Minhyuk wrapped his arms around and patted the top of your wet head.
“I’ll keep you company for the rest of the evening” he said as he headed up the stairs motioning for you to follow. You needed no second bidding as the wind picked up outside. You heard it howl through the broken window panes that were common in every room.
“We should’ve headed inside sooner” you told him as you took your shoes off at the base of the stairs.
“I won’t say I told you so…” Minhyuk said as he too left this shoes at the bottom of the stairs along with the hoodie he had been wearing.
You followed him to his room as he took his shirt off, draping it across the top of the door to dry. You walked to the side of his bed and began undressing yourself. Peeling off your wet pants and shirt, you spread them out on the floor. Looking over at Minhyuk, you were caught up admiring his bare back as he too dropped his pants. Turning around he saw you staring at him. You quickly looked away and pretended to spread out your clothes more.
You heard Minhyuk get into his bed and stood up. Arching your back, you ran your fingers through your wet hair as you stood up. Minhyuk’s eyes never left your form.
“Why do you tease me like this?” he voiced his thoughts out loud as he watched you walk slowly over to his bed where he sat up, covers pulled to his waist.
“What do you mean?” you asked. You were beginning to feel the tension growing in the room and noticed the way Minhyuk slowly looked at your body. He bit his lip before answer, his gaze stopped somewhere along your midriff.
“Lately, you always walk around in your underwear. It gets distracting” he admitted. His gaze flickered to your eyes eagerly. You felt your heart race.
“What else am I supposed to wear?” you asked gesturing to your wet clothes as you began shivering.
“Nothing” he said. You were taken aback. He had never been bold like this. You froze for the second time today, and didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t be implying what you were hoping he was implying. Feeling frisky, you decided to test the waters a little bit.
You smiled and walked slowly to his bed, making sure to gaze at him like he had been staring at you. Reaching the end of his bed you leaned forward placing your hands on his bed giving him a perfect view of your chest. He swallowed, but never looked away. If anything, he looked hungrier.
“I never intended to tease you” you told him softly, as you slowly crawled along his bed. You reached where he was laying as he sat up to meet you.
“What are you doing?” he asked taking a deep breath.
“Teasing you, apparently” you joked bringing your face tantalizingly close to his. You got close enough to sit on his lap, straddling him. You pushed him back onto the bed. He began caressing your legs and hips. You could feel the pressure building below you. You lightly ran a hand down his chest to his abs and back up. You felt the goosebumps form under your skin.
You leaned forward until you were laying on top of him. Throwing all your caution to the wind, you began kissing his neck. He squeezed your thighs as you hit a sweet spot right next to his collarbone. Letting out a moan and bucking his hips once he reached up and ran his fingers through your hair.
“Things are dangerously close to getting out of hand” he said looking at your lips and starting to breath heavy.
“I know” you whispered and smiled as your breath ghosted over his skin and made him shiver.
“I mean it. If this continues there’s no going back” he warned one final time. You shut him up by playfully biting his bottom lip. His eyes widened for the briefest moment before he had his lips on yours in a passionate open mouthed kiss. All the feelings you had been hiding from each other poured into that kiss. You sat up as his lips playfully chased after yours. Wrapping one arm around your waist he ran the other one through your hair holding on the back of your neck and pulled you closer.
Breaking apart to catch your breath, he pushed you down on the bed and got on top. He held himself up on one arm as the other one ran down your side, making you shiver.
“Last chance to say no” he said quietly. He looked at you with caring eyes as he asked if this was what you truly wanted.
“Minhyukkie” you whined his nickname.
“If that’s a ‘no’ we can end this here” he was the one teasing you now. He had a smile spread across his face, but it was a dangerous smile that you hadn’t seen before.
You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him into you and began kissing again, letting him know there really was no going back and you were perfectly fine with it. You toyed with the hem of his boxers as he began kissing along your jaw line.
“Minhyukkie” you whined again, softer this time. He moaned into your neck as he couldn’t take the anticipation anymore. Sitting up, he pulled you with him. He reached behind you and undid your bra with one hand. Pushing you back onto the bed, he reached down and took his own boxers off, while his eyes never left your body.
The rest of the night the two of you were tangled around each other nonstop. You got very little sleep that night.
You and he laid together with his arm around you as you cuddled into his shoulder and watched the sun come up. His thumb rubbed affectionate circles on your shoulder as he replayed the night in his mind, just like you were replaying it in yours.
As the rays of the sun began reaching across the sky, you and Minhyuk finally fell asleep. You had backed right up into Minhyuk’s naked form as he wrapped his arms around you, in the position you always took when you were scared. This time though, it was out of comfort and closeness; not from being scared.
