have you written Nate x Adam? If you're not up to trying them, then Chase and Mason. 35. wake up kisses
35. Wake-up Kisses
As a vampire, sleep is not something they need as often as humans do. As a a vampire less than a century shy of his first millennium, Adam needs even less sleep than the rest of his unit. He snatches a few hours per week to maintain his energy and stay in top form, and any more than that he claims makes him feel sluggish and weighed-down, not to mention as if he is wasting precious time that could be used doing other, more worthwhile things.
So Nate resolves to reward him thoroughly for indulging an old friend's quirks. Doubly so when he is gifted the pleasure of waking to the sound of birdsong and the near-silent measure of Adam's breathing.
He didn't expect him to still be in bed when he woke.
"Sleep with me?" Nate asked, a soft request. He expected dismissal, the politest Adam is capable of, but dismissal nonetheless.
What he received was a quirked eyebrow, Adam making a concerted effort to be playful, even with red licking like flames up his pale neck and ears, staining his high cheekbones. "Again?" he asked, his lips twitching.
Nate chuckled, but he shifted across the rumpled sheets, slipped his hand over Adam's where it reached for his discarded trousers. "Perhaps later," he teased gently in return, if only to see how far the blush would spread. "But, for now, just to sleep?" Adam opened his mouth, as if to protest. They both had duties to attend to, after all, and Adam was nothing if not a consummate workaholic, but Nate pressed. "Please? I'd like to hold you for a while. At least until I fall asleep."
Adam's eyes widened, bright seaglass green muted by the shadows of the late evening, all his hard edges softened in the glow of the single antique lamp at Nate's bedside. His mouth snapped closed with an audible click of his teeth. His throat bobbed as he swallowed. "Of course," he said in a near-whisper.
Nate could not contain his beaming smile as he squeezed Adam;s hand and pulled him closer, drawing him back into the nest of blankets that still smelled like him, and would as often as Nate could convince him to spend enough time there to tangle his scent into every fiber.
The windows are high, the glass frosted, so that any who stumble across the warehouse from the outside won't see any signs of life inside, and they lend a sort of strange, dreamy quality to the morning light that spills through Nate's plush curtains. Adam's face is tucked just below the notch of Nate's collarbones, and surely the thick hair there must tickle, but he does not seem at all bothered by it. His arm is heavy where it rests over Nate's waist, but it is a comforting weight, warm and solid. The soft light washes him in muted shades of white-gold and ivory, and Nate is struck by the sudden thought that this is what Psyche must have felt, leaning over a sleeping Eros, and seeing him for the first time in the light of her oil lamp.
He chuckles to himself, quietly amused by his own private theatrics, and the rumble of his chest jostles the other vampire, who makes a disgruntled noise low in his throat (Nate would never call such a noise cute--at least not anywhere Adam could hear) but miraculously doesn't wake, only nestles his face deeper into Nate's chest.
Thankfully, the sudden powerful thud of Nate's heart doesn't seem to disturb him either.
He watches him quietly for a while, simply basking in the warmth, the intimacy. Adam's calves tangled with his, the strong hand draped, limp but possessive, over his thigh, the rhythm of his breathing tickling through the dark curls of Nate's chest. The places they aren't touching are fewer than the ones they are, but it still doesn't feel like quite enough. Nate runs his hand carefully over the back of Adam's skull, ruffling through his hair. It's beginning to grow out more than Adam usually allows it to, enough to curl delicately over Nate's fingers. He closes his eyes and remembers when it was long enough to curl into Adam's collar. He remembers how desperately he ached to touch it, those centuries ago. How he mourned it like a lost friend when Adam decided to crop it short.
He stifles another laugh, but not quite well enough, and Adam stirs again, his hand squeezing at Nate's thigh. His forehead wrinkles, his nose scrunching, and Nate has been in love with this man for centuries, easily three human lifetimes, and still, somehow, he finds he can fall yet further.
He presses a kiss to the bridge of that bold nose, and then to the pucker between Adam's brows, the gilded fan of lashes fluttering against his pale cheeks. They tickle, feather-soft, against his lips, and he feels like he's being lit up from the inside, a warm glow desperate to spill over, too bright to contain.
Adam's eyes open, thin slits of jade-green, squinting with displeasure at the light.
"Good morning," Nate sighs, gliding his thumb along the sharp curve of his cheekbone and kissing there as well. "Is it finally time to get to all that work we've neglected?" He kisses Adam's chin as well, and then drops one to his shoulder.
Adam blinks up at him, sleepy-soft and bathed in the liminal glow, and clearly not nearly awake enough to delight in this sweet, magical space Nate has found carved between their strict routines. Perhaps this is what he meant, when he said too much sleep left him sluggish. Nate feels privileged to see it.
He kisses the grumpy curve of Adam's mouth, and it softens under the touch, opening with a wispy sigh. Nate presses harder, deeper, determined to imprint the shape of his smile onto his dear friend's lips.
Good morning, indeed.

good fuckin yard my guys gals and non binary pals !! i’m admin c and this is my messy disaster gay problem child jooseok. below the cut you’re gonna find out a loT about his tragic ass and if you hit the like button if i haven’t already, i’ll hit you up for plotting !! i’ll give a few ideas of connections on the end of this too since i’m gonna update and redo his plot page sfngn bUT let it be known i also mun aurora, euchan and emrys so i may have also messaged you for plotting on one of those acc’s, if so don’t worry i will ensure to give you the chance to plot with all my babies !! without further ado: 
jooseok is the son of a mob family, they’re very well established in the criminal world. his parents are yeong dami and yeong joohyuk. however it is dami who actually runs the game and is the head bitch in charge shall we say, not to bring feminist agenda joo to life but as u can imagine due to this he has hella respect for women esp his mother bc of the strength he observed in her growing up. he thinks women are stronger and better at survival bc of learning through his ma and being trained by her. 
so he was raised of course in the family gang, raised in crime and never really knew any other way to live. when he reached seventeen he was initiated officially into the gang meaning his role became more full time and his responsibility became larger. he dropped out of college after his first two years there to accomodate for this and so his education wasn’t the finest but he was homeschooled for a long time before he got too old as the gang considered it and he no longer had time for it. plus he was of the belief he knew enough about how the world worked through the observation of the good and ugly alone. 
he does have a younger sister who he considers his entire world and he also has a brother of around the same age as him. the family dynamic is a little complex, he’d kill without hesitation for both his siblings despite the fact that his brother and himself often don’t agree or see eye to eye on anything, they bicker and give each other shit but they’d never turn their backs on each other. these are wanted connections i will eventually put on the list so they can be filled out also. 
he’s considered an infiltrator and a double agent as his main job titles for the gang so right now he works undercover in the police force helping the wrongly accused escape a life of jail time and prove their innocence when the justice system fails them. occasionally he’s put in charge of strategy too and he is very very respected within the gang for being the youngest and yet the most skilled who rose to his tasks very quickly for his age and became the best at what he does at an alarmingly quick rate, he’s actually pretty well known for having the reputation of being the youngest to climb the ranks and gain status like this. 
he could actually have been the boss of the gang with the amount of tasks and dirty work he takes on
HOWEVER...
jooseok has a huge secret and this is that recently he’s started attending college again and taken on night classes to study law and learn more about the police force so he can become a genuine crime detective. he is also undertaking training for the police force. 
the lifestyle and career of the police force has always been his dream and his goal but with his limited education it was never something he could achieve alongside his gang life. this is why he jumped at the chance to at least do something undercover with the police and despite playing dirty cop, use it to do something good, vigilante like if you will. 
joo can’t keep his secret forever though, his gang are getting wind of what’s going on and soon he’s going to have to go into hiding. despite the gang being his family, hits will be issued on him until he is eliminated and killed. simply put he is considered a traitor the minute he gives up gang life, and he knows far too much to simply be allowed to walk free possibly giving away all their secrets and intel. because it is a family business there are severe consequences for him turning away from what is considered his duty and responsibility.
joo = big be gay, do crime type energy. he’s abrasive and amoral but he’s also nurturing and naturally smart and talented at everything he puts his passion into. he’s resourceful and crazy adaptable and he’s equal parts a protector as much as he is a fighter. he can be broody and blunt but he can also be witty and hilarious with his dark sense of humor and somewhat messed up mind and moral code. if you’re considered close to jooseok then he’ll kill half the population of daegu easy with his own hands with no worries so long as you’re safe. 
he worked undercover in america for a year so he can speak english and went by the shortened name of jo over there but most people call him seok or ong in korea to shorten his name to a nickname. he’s fluent in his english, jooseok is well known for being a quick learner in every area if u know what i mean *side eyes*
can be a bit of a fuckboy but has a big heart deep down despite it all, just keeps it concealed because of past toxic relationships and the belief taught into him from early on that any attachment to anything you don’t owe it to, would only result in weakness and vulnerability. and you don’t want people to know you have weaknesses when you do what jooseok does. *coughs* for this reason he has had a lot of pining and unrequited love situations *coughs* 
he’s not that close with his parents, he keeps a strictly professional relationship with them mostly but his mum is his idol for her mentality and attitude to life. though he wishes he could achieve more than what she allowed for him to be a part of. wishes he could be normal. 
OTHER LIL HEADCANONS: 
joo joined the gang officially at seventeen when the initiation process took place and this was the time he met hyunjin ( @phyunjinn​ ) also known as his best friend and right hand man. they quickly became partners in the gang for everything, if joo had business to deal with especially the dangerous kind then nate would be by his side, acting as his protection for anyone who dared cross him and likewise he would give the same back. think kinda like alec and jace i guess as a good example with the whole parabatai bond aspect. they fight the best when they’re fighting together, and if one of them died, a huge piece of the other would die with them. 
at first joo actually refused to talk to nate cause he’s a lil shit and he didn’t get why it should be important but dami urged her son, pointing out they were of similar ages and being initiated at the same time and it was important to have someone he could talk to and rely on like that. so he sidled his way over eventually and pretty easily and nonplussed like made a best friend out of the other male. they grew to have a secret code of trust between them, joo learning sign language for the male to put him at ease and also ordering the rest of the gang did the same despite complaints he quickly shut that shit down arguing they needed to be able to communicate with nate in his way to ensure his safety faster if need ever be. ( but for him personally, he learnt because he wanted to be able to talk to nate in the way that comes most naturally to the male ) 
in college he’s considered a soft jock type, heart of gold but he’s very physically attractive and a bit of a heart throb and definitely considered sporty despite also being very musically driven. 
PLOT IDEAS: 
joo needs some college friends, musically talented people he can consider study buddies, he was actually almost an idol once when he nearly signed on with a company because of how musically talented he is as a producer and songwriter - typically he only writes for close friends and always ensures the lyrics feel truthful and genuine to his friend’s stories but yeah give me people he is encouraged by with that and just able to be himself with. 
friends from america potentially as well
other criminal underground kinda connections bc u know keeps business thriving to link up with other famously dangerous people and work together. 
i would so love a good cop,bad cop type thing where someone who he’s on the police force with or is also training to be in the police force with him is genuine and legit and knows he isn’t and is kinda like shunning tf outta him for it but also trying to teach him how to be better without even realizing it and sort of having their mind changed on how simple good and bad is bc actually there is kind of a grey area which joo belonged to. 
ex’s of course 
as much as i love friends who don’t know about joo’s other life, i’d also love some friends who did and were hella concerned bc like siren noises what is this boi doing he’s gonna get himself killed and does he even cAre bc he fuckin should
roomies plssss 
enemies and rivals are always welcome too maybe ppl who dislike him for turning away from the crime life and going straight or whatever rlly i also rlly like the idea of someone who sort of admired him and has a personal grudge bc he was so good at being a criminal and he made such a legacy and then he just abandoned it and they feel he wasted it or something
