This was such a bad idea.
You pull your legs up to your chest as you sit inside your tent. Rain is pounding on the polyester contraption so loud your words are swallowed up by the sound of it.
"What did you say?" Saeyoung practically shouts back.
"I said: I this was a bad idea!" You reply as you lift your head. He raises his eyebrows at your words.
"You mean: camping with me?" He asks.
"Yeah… no!... Not the 'with you' part." You say as you unfold yourself and lay your head in his lap. The air mattress makes funny noises as you both shift your weight. He giggles. Of Course he does, which makes you giggle in turn. You love the silly boy.
"No, I mean: this!" You flail your arms into the space around you in semi-frustration.
"I wanted to do something adventurous! Be outside! Be free, together."
You had shifted now so you were on your back, your head still in his lap as you looked up at his face.
It was smiling that warm, content smile of his at you. The smile that told you he was happy in this exact moment. It surprised you to see it.
You had forbidden him from taking his work with him. No laptops, no screens, except for his phone which you planned to check to see if he wasn't secretly working anyway. He probably was, he'd find a way but you appreciated him making an effort. You still felt guilty though, now you were here. In a tiny tent, listening to the rain pour down so hard you were afraid the tent might tear. Yet he was smiling that happy smile.
"What?" You couldn't help but ask.
"You know this is enough for me, don't you?" He says as he runs his hand over the side of your face.
"What is?" You ask him softly.
"This!" He says as he makes the same flailing arm gesture you did a minute ago but his hands come back to your face, gently.
"This, with you." He speaks quietly. "I don't care if this turns out to be a monsoon. I'll love every second of it if I get to spend it holed up in this tent with you."
The smile never leaves his face as he kisses you. He moves you both so you're lying down on the creaky air mattress, his arms around you as you rest your head on his chest. You sigh the biggest sigh of contentment.
"I'll love it, but I'll go nuts. Just so you know." He adds. You laugh.
"Right there with ya. We'll go together."
"Together."
You both raise your hand to seal the deal with a high five and laugh.
This was such a good idea.
