Welcoming Back The Crew

PREVIOUSLY:

"What are you assholes doing here?" Suga asked again, with genuine curiosity this time. "This is my cousin's place, I know I've told you about it before." Replied the blonde, tilting his head he asked a second question. "What are YOU doing here Minni?" "Protecting me." Three heads turned to the new voice. The redhead ran to Mitzuki, bowling him over with a hug and making the younger laugh aloud. "OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! You're alive! You're really alive!" He screamed into the brunette's shoulder as he burst into tears leaving their respective partners wondering what exactly the hell was going on.

Nie Namjun's P.O.V.

Seokjin let out a huge sigh as we pulled up at his cousin's cabin, his head resting on the steering wheel he turned his face towards me. It's been a long trip and we'd barely made a dent into our road trip - not that we weren't enjoying the time together because we were but it was more that we needed to get out of the vehicle for a couple of days to stretch our legs and get the kinks out of our bodies.

"Finally. We'll crash here the next few days," he said giving me a tired smile, blonde hair falling over his eyes and I gently reached out to tuck the loose strands back behind his ear.

The next fifteen minutes was filled with car doors opening and closing, the boot-lid slamming shut after taking out the bags of groceries to get us through the next few days. The musical jingling of keys as Seokjin looked for the right one and the click of door lock giving way loudly. The crisp rustle of plastic bags as we dumped them on the floor in the kitchen and muted thump of our travel bags being dumped on kitchen tiles.

It was a nice kitchen that I'm sure I'll appreciate after a good nights rest; putting cold groceries like milk and eggs in the white refrigerator we joked and laughed together. I boiled the kettle and made us cups of Earl Grey tea Seokjin suggested we choose one the downstairs bedrooms because it had an ensuite bathroom.

"You sure your cousin won't mind us staying for a few days?" I confirmed with him again, still u unsure about just using his cousin's cabin without asking.

"I'm sure babe. That's why he gave me a spare key you know, so I can get away when I have to. You're with me so I know he won't mind you being here and we'll go visit them at Wáng Jí in Liánhuā Hú after this, if you want? I want to introduce you to my cousin and his husband anyway," came the reply just as soft from the tall blonde. A tired smile gracing my husband's handsome features.

"Let's head for bed yeah?" I asked, flopping backwards on the huge bed and motioning for my lover to join me. He turned off the lights and lay next to me, I gathered him to me and snuggled... Which didn't last long because our goodnight kiss turned into a make-out session and things got much more heated from there.

Some time later we were interrupted by a loud bashing at the door (I'm embarrassed to admit that we both screamed) but one of the voices that yelled from the other side of the door gave me pause, giving me a feeling of familiarity though I couldn't place why or where from.

"WILL YA KEEP IT DOWN YA ASSHOLES!?"

"YAH - WE TRYIN' TO SLEEP YA BASTARDS!!"

Laughter at our screaming came from outside the room and Seokjin and I caught our breath, throwing some clothes on we went to the lounge room looking like a cat had dragged us out of the bed. Which their bashing on the door had done.

A mint haired male stood up from behind the sofa with a huge (fake) smile, laughing at the pair of us standing stunned in the doorway staring at him - my eyes popped open as I realized I recognized him. It was Min Suga, I think, Seokjin introduced us a couple of times back when they were in school.

"What the hell are you two doing here? Don't you have anything better to do than stalk me around the countryside?" The mint haired male asked us in an emotionless voice. A pregnant pause filled up the silence before my blonde extended an open hand to the solo male.

"Min fucking Yoongi?" Seokjin exclaimed, I was correct in my guess, and I'm sure both of us looked like our eyes had bugged out. He'd probably never admit it but we'd gotten him out of a jam more than a few times, not to say I hadn't enjoyed it but his line of work was definitely more thrilling than I'd like to live.

"What are you assholes doing here?" Suga asked again, with genuine curiosity this time.

"This is my cousin's place, I've told you that before." Replied my handsome blonde, tilting his head he asked a second question.

"Yeah and how many years ago was that JinJin," we ignored Suga's rhetorical question.

"What are YOU doing here Minni?" I repeated the question my husband had asked, my concern genuine as to what he would be doing well over a thousand miles away from his boyfriend and his crush. How did he even find this place let alone get in because the Lan's weren't exactly the people most likely to like rent their place out or give keys to random strangers.

"Protecting me." Jin and I swiveled our heads towards the new voice whose owner had popped up from behind the huge sofa in the living room. I bolted to the now light brunette bowling him over with the tightest hug I could possibly squeeze him into and making the younger gasp before trying to laugh out loud.

"OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! OHMYGOD! You're alive! You're really alive!" I screamed into his shoulder as I burst into tears, leaving our respective partners probably wondering what the fuck was happening.

3rd Person's P.O.V.

The four men in the room were a mess. Two were crying and laughing and hugging each other like it was the last time they would see each other and there would be lots of intricacies they would find out over the next few hours; things like Suga was related to Jeon Namjun by marriage, that Jeon Namjun was now Nie Namjun since he and Nie Seokjin had gotten married two and a half years before, Nie Seokjin was Lan Wuxian's cousin on his mother's side (and he had a spare key given to him by Wei Ying), and the four young men were now all drinking hot cocoa around the kitchen table in the Lans' cabin listening to the happenings of the last three months for Kim Mitzuki and Min Suga.

It wasn't until Kim Mitzuki's eyes closed and he slumped over that they realized the sun was beginning to lighten the kitchen with tinges of apricot and soft pink. Seokjin let out another yawn.

"We ought to actually get some shut eye, we can keep talking later once we're all rested. Just.. Don't tell anyone you're here or that you've seen us. I want you guys to take some photos later, if you've got your kits Namjun, Seokjin?" Suga asked semi-reluctantly of them. Slight creases appeared briefly before disappearing on their foreheads, their eyes met and nodded back at the mint haired male asking the question.

"We won't say a word you have our word, and of course we do- when do we not have our kits? Yeah dude, we'll talk about shit later. G'night for now."

The mint haired Suga gently carried a sleeping Mitzuki back upstairs to the room they were sharing while Namjun and Seokjin stumbled their way back to the room they'd claimed for the week.
