Quin looked down suddenly bashful. It made him feel good knowing that his boyfriend had listened to his music. And not only listened to it, he liked the majority of it. Sure he knew that most of his friends enjoyed his music too and that the public enjoyed it. But it was slightly different hearing it from Sébastien. Probably because he really liked him. “At this point I’m just winding myself up a little too much with worrying.” He admitted. The next part made Quin look up. He wasn’t sure what to do with that information. “I think you should probably tell him then, sweetheart.” He said gently. He wondered briefly if Sébastien intended on keeping their relationship a secret even from their family members. He quickly pushed the thought away. He highly doubted that was what was happening here.

“you’ll be fine.” bastien said softly before giving quin a sheepish smile. once again quin calling him sweetheart gave him a strong feeling of fondness. “i know, i know and i’m going to.” he did want kevin to know, especially now that he was going to be spending more time with quin. “i thought i had before but i just realized i didn’t.” bastien spoke, clearly uncertain in his own words. “or i guess you could say i wasn’t very clear. or something.” he wasn’t able to figure out a way to that he had implied they were dating a while before their relationship had actually began. bastien didn’t know how quin would react to that (he also didn’t want to bring up the fight between him and his brother).

Quin laughed softly. It was an interesting comparison to make, and one he’d never quite thought of. But the two things did sound fairly similar when put like that. He smiled at Sébastien. “I hope you’ll enjoy it.” He said. Then after a moment he added. “I hope that everyone enjoys it actually – it’d make all those late nights at the studio worth a lot more than they are now.” At the mention of it working out well Quin nodded. He was glad that it had too actually. He hadn’t really known what to think when he started working with Kevin. He’d been half-afraid that it was going to be difficult but the process had actually been pretty smooth sailing.

 “i’m sure i will.” bastien spoke with a grin on his face, “i haven’t heard anything of your’s i haven’t liked.” he paused a moment before adding more onto his thought. “and i’ve heard a lot. of your music, i mean.” he hadn’t told his boyfriend that he had purchased all of his albums not long after the first time he had sang for bastien. it wasn’t that bastien had intentionally kept it from him -it just slipped his mind. “everyone’s going to love it.” true he hadn’t heard it but he had faith in both the abilities of quin and kevin. “you and kevin on a track together - i’m just excited.” bastien shrugged his shoulders, the smile on his face soft. “and i think i should mention i don’t actually know if kevin know’s we’re dating. he might, but i don’t know.” bastien admitted a slight confused expression on his face.

Kevin shook his head slightly. He didn’t want to talk about it. Not at the moment at least. He spent too much time thinking about it. He was exhausting himself and he wasn’t getting anywhere it was just the same half-confused half-saddened thoughts chasing themselves. Well, that and he knew that Bastien would be upset and Kevin didn’t really want to do that to her brother. “Nah just – help me distract myself.” He said slowly.

bastien nodded at kevin, tucking his legs into a cross cross position. he was doing his best to scan his brain to distract his younger brother. he let out a small puff of air when the thought came to him that he might be out of touch with this. he had kevin back but it seemed he still wasn’t over the fact that he had thought he lost it. that wasn’t something to be thinking about now. “i think matthieu got another cat.” bastien spoke after a beat as it was the first thing that came into his mind.

“Mhm.” Quin nodded. “That’s how I know when I’m nearly done.” He added a bit ruefully. Well that and the fact he was running on coffee rather than sleep or food, but he didn’t want Bastien to worry about him. He’d get into a relatively normal routine soon – an incredibly busy routine but it’d be a routine. Quin smiled in response to his boyfriend’s statement. “I almost wish I could take credit for the idea – the song came together better than I was anticipating.”

“huh.” bastien mused unsure what to think about that answer. he guessed it made sense, having to listen to yourself so much would be annoying. “that kinda reminds me of when i used to game footage when i played hockey. it got annoying watching myself looking for mistakes and things to fix.” it was a strange comparison maybe, but even though it’d been years since he’d played hockey it was still easier for him to think in these terms. bastien reached for quin’s hand and laced their fingers together. “i’m excited to hear it.” he spoke squeezing his boyfriend’s hand. “even if it wasn’t your idea i’m just glad it worked out well.” bastien wasn’t sure what he’d do if kevin and quin didn’t like each other - he didn’t even want to think about it. he wondered if he should mention that he still hadn’t properly told kevin about how he and quin were together, probably, bastien considered.

Quin reluctantly stood up as well, folding the blanket he’d been using and draping it across the back of his couch. He’d turned around to close the windows when Bastien spoke. Quin hummed in response as finished shutting the windows. “It’s going, I suppose.” He said. “I’m getting to the point where I’m sick of my own voice.” Which of course meant he was almost done. He just had a few more tracks to clean up and he’d be done. Well, actually he’d be just starting but that was different. He nodded in response. “ACE suggested that I include him in the title track.” He admitted. “He’s a hard worker though, and he put up with me nitpicking on his rapping so I probably owe him now.”

bastien watched quin as he folded and closed the windows. he was very curious about his boyfriend’s new album - so far he enjoyed everything he’s ever heard of quin’s and he assumed this would be no different. “does that happen every time?” he asked curiously as he ran a hand over his hair. he wanted to know more about this, in part because he was curious in the behind the scenes process but mostly just because it was quin. when his boyfriend complimented his brother he couldn’t help the large smile that grew on his face. it gave bastien a feeling of pride and fondness. “ace obviously have good taste.” he spoke playfully, his contentment obvious on his voice. “he is.” bastien confirmed, wondering how kevin felt about working with quin. “i’m glad you two are getting along.” or at least it sounded like they were from quin’s response. after he spoke his words it slowly dawned on him that kevin might not actually know that quin was his boyfriend - he hadn’t exactly explicitly told him yet.

Quin smiled slightly in response. “I’d much rather spend the whole day with you.” He admitted. “But since I’m on a deadline it’s probably better that I at least get some work done.” He laughed when Sébastien said that he should go. Quin smiled against his boyfriend’s mouth and kissed him back. He knew that he needed to leave but it was really nice to just behave like a couple who were dating for once. Of course Quin got to see his boyfriend often when he certainly enjoyed the main problem was that with the amount of cameras in the Roommate house they could only like close friends which was certainly not what they were.

bastien grinned at quin’s words. “i’d rather you spend your whole day with me too.” he spoke quietly after they had kissed. after a short moment past bastien stood up, stretching his arms out and twisting to crack his back. he let out a soft sigh, already missing being on the couch cuddling his boyfriend. “how is your album going?” bastien asked running his hands over his hair, looking to quin. he didn’t understand the process behind creating an album but he did know it was a lot of work. “i heard about how you’re working with kevin.” he spoke his voice somewhere between a statement and a question. when bastien first heard the news he wasn’t sure how to react to it. he did enjoy the idea of quin and kevin interacting but it felt odd to think of it in a context that didn’t relate to him (he knew that thought was a tad conceited but he elected to ignore it).

Quin laughed softly when Sébastien started kissing him. And then turned his head slightly to claim a kiss on the lips. He kissed his boyfriend again. “I know what you’re trying to do.” He said softly. “And it’s working pretty well.” He admitted. Honestly he didn’t want to leave, he’d rather just stay in his apartment for the rest of the day – maybe even the rest of the week or month but that wasn’t a viable option. He kissed Sébastien’s nose lightly. “But yes I should go. I have an album to finish.”

bastien hummed in response to quin’s words. shifting a little so he could wrap both his arm around his boyfriend. “if you have too.” bastien said with a soft smile on his face. he leaned in to give quin another long kiss before untangling his arms from him. “i should-” he started trying to think of if he had any priorities to deal with today - he didn’t. “-go too probably. since this is your apartment.” he chuckled at his own words, then placed another kiss on quin’s mouth. bastien wanted to get in as much kissing and being close to quin as he could before they had to leave the safety of privacy.

Kevin let out a long sigh glad that Bastien knew what he was talking about. (Surely he knew, they weren’t that out of touch were they?) Kevin wasn’t sure if he even really wanted to talk about it. “Nothing specific no.” He admitted. It wasn’t really a ‘Big Event’ it was just Kevin thinking himself in stupid circles around everyone. But most especially his bandmates lately. Kevin wanted to tell them but at the same time it was so much safer for him if only himself and Bastien knew. But sometimes he just wanted to know if they’d look at him differently. (He especially wanted to know if Seokju would change the way he looked at Kevin because he didn’t think he could stand that).

bastien nodded at kevin’s words, a small frown on his face. bastien was glad that nothing had happened, he couldn’t stand the idea of more things happening that would further give kevin conflict about his sexuality. kevin already had too much of that. he looked at kevin trying to think about how his brother was feeling. he could relate to the pressure of being in the closet and under spotlight but still their striations were very different. “do you want to go talk about it?” he asked before messing up his hair with his hand, “or do you just want some company?” bastien asked offering him a small smile.

Quin groaned softly when he heard Sébastien’s voice, but slowly opened his eyes anyway. He didn’t move for a moment before slowly forcing himself into a sitting position. The blanket slipped from his head completely, making his hair perform a soft wavelike motion before it settled somewhat back to normal (though a lot more full of static than it had been). He rubbed at his eyes trying to spur himself back to some semblance of wakefulness. “I should probably go to the studio.” He said softly in a somewhat slower pace than usual.

bastien watched quin with an amused smile, before moving the hand that was around quin’s shoulder into his hair. he wasn’t particularly fond of the idea of having to leave quin and his apartment, but he knew that they couldn't’ stay in there forever. “should you?” bastien asked just before he leaned his face close to quin’s to place a few kisses on his cheek. he wouldn’t stop quin from going but that didn’t mean he couldn’t distract him a little.

Quin wanted to protest that he wanted to be awake. Somewhere in the back of his mind he wondered if Sébastien was going to end up sleeping again. But it was a lot easier to just relax and let himself drift back into his relaxed half asleep state. “Wake me up in a half hour.” He mumbled. He still had some work to get done in the studio and as much as he wanted to he couldn’t just laze around his apartment all day. He shifted slightly to rest his head more completely against Sébastien, and before he knew it he was falling asleep again.

bastien looked up at the clock on the wall, taking in the time before answering quin. “i’ll do my best.” his voice was soft as he leaned his head against the top of quin’s. he closed his eyes not really worrying about falling back asleep now that he was already awake. though some time had past he felt himself falling in and out of sleep. after while bastien opened his eyes, blinking slowly as he looked up at the clock. he let out a soft sigh before squeezing quin’s side gently. “quintin.” bastien said softly before kissing the top of his boyfriend’s head.

Quin hummed in response. “I was tired too.” He mumbled sleepily. He was still tired – but to be fair he always took a long time to wake up even after something as simple as a nap. Quin nodded slightly in response to Sébastien’s question – he also tended to get cold easily but cuddled up against his boyfriend’s side he felt much warmer. He smiled slightly when he felt Sébastien’s kiss. He leaned closer, feeling the blanket he’d wrapped around himself slip a little bit. “Still tired.” He said and yawned.

bastien chuckled his face turned towards quin’s still. “go back to sleep then, babe.” he spoke softly over a smile leaning into his boyfriend. he still felt tired himself but he didn’t he’d be able to fall back asleep, but he wasn’t against the idea of quin sleeping on him again. “i won’t go anywhere.” bastien pressed another kiss against quin’s face enjoying that he could do such a thing at the moment. he wasn’t sure if it was just the blanket or the sleepiness too (or maybe it was just in general), but there was something extra adorable about quin at the moment.

“Bedroom.” Quin mumbled shuffling away to said room – which wasn’t more than a few dozen steps. He came back with a blanket he’d snatched from the end of his bed wrapped around him so that only his face and the hand he was using to keep it secured were peeking out. He crawled back onto the couch, immediately cuddling up to Sébastien. In response to his question Quin looked over at the clock on the far wall. “Just about forty five minutes.” He said. Truthfully Quin probably needed more sleep given the ridiculous hours he’d been pulling off lately but he was surprised that they’d been asleep for so long when it didn’t feel like that to him at all.

bastien couldn’t help the wide smile that formed at the sight of quin wrapped in a blanket (it was impossble that a grown man could look that cute). “that long? huh, i guess we were really comfortable.” he spoke as he wrapped his arm around quin’s shoulder. bastien felt very content in this moment, he knew that he could get used to this. “are you actually that cold?” bastien tightening his arm around quin, rubbing his arm gently. he looked over at his boyfriend, grinning sleepily at him unable to contain the feeling of fondness he was feeling. he placed a soft kiss again the side of quin’s face, his lips half over the blanket.

Quin frowned slightly when he realized he had indeed woken his boyfriend up. He blinked a few times when Sébastien spoke, his brain moving too slowly to process the English words. “I don’t understand.” He said blankly. Maybe if he hadn’t just woke up he’d be able to decipher the phrase - it didn’t actually seem very hard but Quin had trouble understanding Korean when he woke up let alone trying to deal with English. “’M cold.” He added like his intention of going to get a blanket would be obvious from that sentence. He could also just close the windows but he hadn’t wanted to to wake up Sébastien. And now even if he did close the windows he was still really cold and a blanket would still be appreciated.

“was that english?” bastien asked around a yawn as he sat up. “sorry i do that sometimes.” he said squeezing quin’s hand before dropping it so he could do whatever he needed to do to get warm. “i asked where you were going.” bastien rubbed his eyes a bit more as he leaned his back against the couch. he tried to gauge if he was cold but he still felt warm (but he was the one using quin as a blanket). “how long did we sleep?” he asked looking up at quin with sleepy eyes.

Quin fell asleep a few moments later too tired to attempt to fight it. He wasn’t sure how long he stayed asleep but when he woke up he felt like he was freezing. He looked around confused before remembering the windows were still open he sighed softly wondering if he could just fall back asleep. He felt like it’d barely been ten minutes since he closed his eyes. When it became clear that wasn’t going to happen he slowly shifted off Sébastien so he could stand up hoping that his movements didn’t wake the elder.

bastien woke up keeping his eye closed as he slowly remembered where he was. he rolled onto his side, opening his eyes and blinked a few times until he spotted quin. he used one hand to rub his eyes and the other to reach for quin’s hand. “babe.” bastien spoke as he laced his fingers through quins, his voice rough from sleeping. “where you going?” he tugged on his arm gently as he yawned, still feeling very sleepy.
