OUTLINE:

• [x] Office worker Sion. 30. Grad Student Riku. 28.
• [x] Sion can’t sleep. Insomnia. It’s like 12 - he got home from work two hours ago. He has a work trip tomorrow he has to be up for and he already knows sleep will be evasive there. Complicated sleep routine. He can’t sleep anywhere but his own bed. He used to drink or have to smoke cigs but he’s been made to kick the habit. Can’t sleep without Riku nearby.
• [x] ….Speaking of Riku
  • [x] Sion goes down to the living room. Riku-ah. Are you busy. I can’t sleep
  • [x] Doting Riku. It’s okay. I have office hours tomorrow and no one will be there because it’s the second week of the semester. Do you need help getting out of your head, hyung?
  • [x] Sion is shy. But he does.
• [x] Tender coddling
  • [x] Sion fits into Riku’s lap. They make out, idk. Slipping into something subspace adjacent
    • [x] Riku, are sure you-
    • [x] That’s not what you call me, Sion-ah
      • [x] His face burns. I mean noona.
  • [x] Riku is so gentle. Gentle but firm. He’s nothing like Sion, who is teasing and mean. So, so mean, hyung, he’s said before. Riku isn’t mean at all
    • [x] Some nice praise
    • [x] You’re so good. So easy for me. Yeah, Sionie, you’re so good.
      • [x] Riku does some work and Sion sinks into it deeper. Whiny?
        • [x] You need something in your mouth?
  • [x] Sion doesn’t have an oral fixation except he does
    • [x] Riku praises him, runs a hand through his hair. So soft and loving. He reads his paper out loud, glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose
    • [x] Sion so much more easily can sleep in this headspace. Can so easily float
    • [x] Riku fucks his face a bit idk Sion humps his leg
      • [x] Wanna make you come. Wanna taste it.
      • [x] Riku puts down his book and grins. Meet me in the bedroom, Sion
    • [x] He doesn’t even check the time. He knows it’s late, much later than he should be up with a flight at 8 AM, but at least this ensures he’ll sleep at all. It’s not rare that he’s left pulling all-nighters, tossing and turning all night in bed. His doctor tells him to get up after 20 minutes, but when you’re laying there, trapped in a spiral of your own anxiety…
      • [x] Riku’s reappearance has him sinking back into a bit but the anxiety came back. Riku turns off the light, lights a candle. Chamomile.
      • [x] ‘S okay. Noona’s here.
    • [x] Sion undresses. Listens to Riku’s every word. Riku lays him out in bed and marks him. Claims him. You’ll have me with you in Japan, Sion, me all over you
      • [x] Riku opens him up with his mouth and fingers. Look at you take me. So good, Sion-ah. You’re such a good hyung.
      • [x] Sion’s normally a stomach sleeper which is bad for you but tonight he’s desperate. Riku rolls him onto his belly and sinks into him. There you go…
        • [x] Sion gasps into the sheets. He’s so full. Fuck.
        • [x] Riku is not rough. He’s sensual. Hits him exactly where he needs it. A part of Sion wants to be full, like that feeling when you eat before you go to bed. We can’t have you leak on the plane, baby. Sion sucks on Riku’s fingers or something.
          • [x] There you go. You’re so well-behaved when you’re full. Noona’s got you.
        • [x] A part of Sion wants it rougher. The part of him that wants to forget everything that scares him. The thing that haunts his brain at night. He begs. Please, noona. I need it.
          • [x] Riku gives it to him. Folds him at the knees - hard when you’re thirty but not impossible - and fills him right up
            • [x] It’s like I’m there with you. You’re gonna ache, won’t you, gonna feel me in you. I can pack your plug. You can sleep with it in.
            • [x] Sion whines. He only whines when he’s really lost himself in it. He’s floating and he’s full and noona is so good to him.
              • [x] Praise. A lot of praise.
                • [x] You work so hard, Sion-ah. You’re so good. You work for the both of us. Your job’s so lucky to have you. You deserve everything. Gonna give you everything.
            • [x] Riku mounts him basically, jerks him off until he comes. Sion moans into the sheets, light headed. Riku rolls them onto their sides and keeps fucking him.
              • [x] It feels so good, doesn’t it. Just keep taking me. Close your eyes and take me.
              • [x] Sion closes his eyes and breathes into the pillow. Riku holds him tight, panting into his neck.
              • [x] I love you, hyung. I really love you. Want you to sleep well.
                • [x] Riku is kissing up his neck when Sion goes under. He mumbles out “love you too.”
• [x] An alarm goes off two and a half hours later. Maybe three. His sunlamp.
  • [x] Sion wakes up with a groan. Riku did plug him up - he only realizes when he feels the pull as he sits up. Usually he’s bad at waking up. But at least his boyfriend gave him a good nap.
  • [x] Riku stirs. He never stirs for Sion’s alarm, usually refuses to get up before nine. But he blinks his eyes open. “Hyung. Are you going?”
  • [x] Sion kisses him. Yeah. I am.
  • [x] Riku gets up with him. Sion is a little too fond of him.
    • [x] He gets ready. Takes out the plug (sad) but cleans it off and tries to figure out if it’s worth embarrassing himself in TSA
      • [x] Riku sits with him on the toilet lid. He’s half asleep, so soft and sleepy. You don’t have to bring it. I can send you photos. Won’t need any toys at all.
        • [x] Sion blushes a little. Pinches his cheek. You’re devious.
        • [x] Riku grins. But I’m cute and you love me.
          • [x] You are cute. And I do.
      • [x] Skincare idk. HES A GAY MAN. Brushing teeth, etc
      • [x] He does look exhausted but that’s nothing new. He’s liberal with the eye cream before packing it into his bag.
    • [x] Sion was going to just stop by 7/11 for breakfast but Riku surprises him, taking out something he hid in the fridge. I made it before you came home yesterday.
      • [x] Both of them aren’t the best at cooking, especially considering how busy they are. Sion is so, so touched.
      • [x] I don’t have time to eat it now, Sion says. But on the plane, I’ll-
      • [x] It’s okay, hyung. Riku grins. Hopefully it’ll get your coworkers off your back about having a girlfriend. You can say you’re dating an older woman.
        • [x] Sion tuts. This is what married people do. Do you want to be my wife instead?
        • [x] Riku nuzzles into his hand. Of course. My husband takes care of me sooooo well.
          • [x] Mention of queer relationships… partnerships… not married but something close. They’ve been dating since undergrad. Same year because Sion went to his service out of high school. Riku was new to Korea - called him sunbae for a little too long even though they were peers.
            • [x] Sion asked if he wanted a ring. Riku told him after he graduates he does. It’s nice to play pretend in the meantime.
      • [x] Just a moment in the kitchen. Riku gives him a long hug. He’s small whenever Sion holds him, makes himself tiny. Even though he’s the most enormous thing in Sion’s entire life.
        • [x] Have a good flight. Text me when you get there. I’ll probably be between meetings but I wanna hear from you.
        • [x] Sion holds him. You want me to send you a voice memo? We may be roped into a meeting once we’re there, but if not-
          • [x] Riku grins into his neck. Make me a podcast. I’m gonna miss your voice.
        • [x] This is far from the first time Sion’s had to leave like this, won’t be the last. This is far from their first goodbye so early in the morning - usually Riku doesn’t even get out of bed.
          • [x] Take care of yourself for me, Sion tells him. Eat, please, Riku. I’m sending you delivery if I don’t see something on the account.
          • [x] Just focus on work, Riku complains. I take care of myself plenty. Which is not true. They are both quite bad at these things, only good at checking on each other.
            • [x] Sion hauls him in closer. Then I’ll ask Yushi. And if he tells me that you still haven’t-
            • [x] Okay fine, Riku pouts. Smiles when Sion pulls him into a kiss, a hard one. Hyung, you’re so mean.
            • [x] I can be meaner, Sion promises. I worry about you when I’m gone.
              • [x] Riku blushes. I worry about you too. So clingy.
          • [x] Sion finally goes once he knows he has to, once it’s nearing the time he’ll be swept into commuter traffic if he doesn’t.
            • [x] I’m gonna miss you, baby. Riku follows him to the door. Don’t overwork yourself.
            • [x] Hyung. Stop it. Focus on your trip.
              • [x] But-
              • [x] Focus on your trip!
            • [x] One last hug goodbye. One more kiss. Riku traps him against the door.
              • [x] Have fun. Don’t drink too much. Send me lots of photos.
              • [x] It’s ridiculous how much Sion will miss him. The trip’s only for a week but he’d rather work overtime for a month and come home to Riku every night than have to party for six days with the Japanese branch.
                • [x] Okay. He says. Hyung will be home soon.
• [x] He’s on the plane when he opens the food Riku made for him. Kimbap - it’s much more time consuming than you think. It was the first Korean food Sion taught him how to make. It was the first time anyone’s ever made food for him, period.
  • [x] Teases from coworkers. Finally settling down, Sion? The boss’ll be disappointed. He really was hoping to set you up with his daughter.
    • [x] Brief commentary on gross corporate culture. His daughter’s still undergrad. Basically a baby.
    • [x] Sion smiles. Hoping to get her a ring in the next year. I don’t deserve her.
      • [x] Riku doesn’t mind when he hides things like this. He actually thinks it’s a little funny.
        • [x] An older woman. It’s very funny.
    • [x] There’s a note with it. Riku’s handwriting. A few doodles.
      • [x] To my handsome hyung who pays our bills and loves me more than anyone: fighting! I will wait for you to come back patiently! I love you!!!!!
        • [x] There’s a list of things Riku wants from Japan also lol
      • [x] P.S. Please say this is from your pretty wife. Make me sound gorgeous. I want those ghouls at your job seething with jealousy.
    • [x] Sion grins to himself. Takes a photo. He didn’t pay for in-flight wi-fi, of course, but he records a voice memo and pretends he did. Makes sure his co-workers can hear.
      • [x] Jagi-yah, thank you for the food. It’s quite delicious. I’m so lucky with you, aren’t I?
        • [x] When he knows they’re listening, he grins. I’ll see you soon, noona. I love you.
    • [x] He can’t send it to Riku until hours later, when they’re in Marunouchi and his head spins from greeting the Japanese team in their language. They’re going to an izakaya and he’s going to have to come up with a lot of terrible reasons he can’t drink and will probably miserable when they tease him but it’s okay. Riku’s waiting for him back home.
      • [x] Not oppa? How lucky I am to have a dongsaeng like you, Sion-ah !
      • [x] Sion grins. Fiddles with something Riku gave him (they also have matching phone cases.) Tonight will be another sleepless night in an unfamiliar bed and that’s alright.
        • [x] Anything for you. I’ll call you later. Don’t wait up.
        • [x] Don’t be silly, hyung. I’ll wait up for you.
