Inside Your Heart

Nathalie walked into the living room carrying all of the blankets in the apartment with her. She was determined to make a fort that her boyfriend was not allowed in since he stole all of the covers from her the past two nights in a row. “No, Jongdae. You can sleep by yourself in the bed, I’m going to sleep out here.” She pouted, setting up her pillow fort.

A whine escaped his lips at her declaration making him pout, "It's not my fault we got the wrong size blanket when we went shopping," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest, "We should get a king sized blanket - the queen isnt big enough," he muttered as he followed her, "Come on, I'll grab a second blanket from the closet.

Jennie was meant to meet Bambam out front - he'd already messaged her saying he was there. Their trip was starting in ireland. He'd gotten there a day before she had and she was never so nervous as she was now - they'd never met in person before. After dating online for nearly seven months she decided she wanted to meet - what better way than to travel the world together. Her parents helped fund the trip, but with smart investments and selling practically everything she owned she managed to scrap up enough money so she could go. When she got outside the wind hit her - cold - much colder than she had anticipated, she shivered.

She began piling pillows in front of the tv and turning to him. “If you come back with food I’ll let you in my fort,” She smiled a little, taking the blanket from his hands. She set them down and began organizing it so that it had an entrance and the tv was in view from inside.

---

He sighed as he looked around, smiling nervously to himself. He was excited but nervous, wondering how things would go. He looked up as she walked out, smiling and walking over. He wasn’t sure what to say at first but he quickly got over the shock of seeing her. “You’re shorter in person,” He teased gently, brushing some hair out of her face.

She snorted a little as she looked at him then, "Thats the first thing you're gonna say to me when we meet?" she gaped at him then shook her head, "I don't know what I expected," she sighed dramatically before wrapping her arms around him her face burying into his chest. They'd talked about this moment for so long and now it was actually happening - she was in his arms and it was honestly better than she imagined.

---

He whined a little, "But this means I have to leave the house," he said to her as he threw his head back with an over dramatic sigh, "What food?"

She smiled a little. “Hm, Chinese? From down the street,” She said, smiling a little. “Or Italian? Or you could make ramen,” She said, kissing his cheek. “Hurry hurry, the sooner you get back the sooner ee can cuddle.” She smiled and went to get more pillows.

---

He held her tightly, burying his face into her hair. “Short of staring at you I didn’t know what to say,” he grinned, holding onto her.

Jennie smiled a little as she sighed contently then looked up at him, "Can we go? I'm starving," she murmured gently then wet her lips, "And I'm cold... you said it was mid to high seventies," she whined a bit as she shivered a little. It looked like it had been raining before she got there so that might be why.

---

He nodded, "Fine fine," he mumbled then went to put on his shoes and jacket. The fall weather was his favorite but he hated going out past sunset, it was just plain cold then. "I'll be back in twenty minutes or so,"

She smiled a little as she watched him get ready then sighed. “Okay, and I’ll find us movies to watch,” She said, walking over to him and zipping up his jacket.

---

He smiled a little. “It was warmer but it is late afternoon,” He teased, walking with her towards the hotel. “My Room is up on the 5th floor we can go to find food now though, if you don’t need anything. There’s a pub near here we can try.”

"Well I need to drop off my bags then we can go get some food, a pub sounds good - been dying for some fried mushrooms if they've got any," she said thoughtfully as she dragged her bags behind her. It was like her heart couldn't stop speeding up, she swore she felt as if she were on cloud nine - being with him finally.. in person. It was like a dream.

---

He nodded a little as he looked at her then pressed his lips against hers, "I love you, I'll be back soon," he said smiling a little as he put on his beanie.

He reached around her and took her bags, pulling them on a luggage cart and reaching for her hand. “We can leave them up there, oh and here’s your key,” He smiled a little, Handing it to her out of his pocket and going toward the elevator. “I can’t believe you’re here,” He said to himself, pulling her close again.

---

She smiled a little as he kissed her, sighing a bit. “I love you too, I’ll see you soon,” She said, watching him go before going back to building her fort. “Bring back extra soy sauce, and I’ll love you more!” She said, calling out the door and down the hall toward the elevator, hoping he heard her.

She smiled a little as she looked at him, "Me either, it's amazing right? Finally, it only took seven months," she snorted a little as they got into the elevator, her stomach growled and she nodded, "Hm yep longest flight ever with the worst food ever,"

---

When he got the food he sighed walking home, it was chilly and he swore it might start snowing soon if the conditions were right for it but he knew the day time temp wouldn't allow for it. He'd order more than enough food for them both - just like he always did. He walked back in then shivered, "I'm back!" he said kicking off his shoes and setting the food in the kitchen.

She walked into the kitchen and looked at the food, pulling the containers out and grabbing what they would want to eat. “Come on, I put your sweats in the dryer so they should be warm by now.” She smiled a little, going t get them for him.

---

He smiled a little, putting her bags inside and turning to her. “We need to take a lot of pictures,” He said, taking out his phone as they went back to the elevator. “Especially since now I know how beautiful you are in person.” He smiled at her

He nodded as he took his jacket off then hung it up before going to get changed, "Ugh the weather is so insane lately," he said to her as he walked up behind her snuggling his face into her neck. "What should we do? We might have to turn the heater on soon," he mumbled.

---

She smiled a little as she nudged him playfully then laced her fingers with his as they walked, "Hm of course, we can take tons of pictures," she said as she pulled out her phone while they were in the elevator and snapping a picture with him. "We look good," she murmured as she looked fondly as it then showing him.

She smiled a little, turning to face him and wrapping her arms around him. “We can watch movies and cuddle, but I know you’ll fall asleep if it’s not action so I picked out a bunch to choose from.” She said, pointing to the screen. “We can eat and just lay out here.”

---

He smiled, making a face for the camera and then leaning close to hers. “Yeah we’re hot. Definitely the hottest couple here.” He grinned, pulling her out of the elevator toward the doors.

She nodded a little, "Hm I agree," she said smiling a little as she followed him, again her heart thudded as she looked at his side profile - gods he was handsome. How'd she get so lucky? "Hm, lead the way mister," she said to him as she walked with him. "This trip is going to be so amazing, were going to experience so much together and meet so many new people," she spoke animatedly; "It's going to be the best ever," she giggled a little.

---

He smiled, "Sounds like a date to me," he smiled a little as he kissed her lips lightly, "Come on babe, lets eat I know you're hungry," he murmured.

She followed him to the living room and sat down, crawling in and grabbing her lo mein container. “So I was thinking,” She said, watching him out of the corner of her eye. “I want us to get a puppy.” She said, eating as she watched him.

---

He smiled as he lead her, wrapping his arms around her as they walked and nuzzling her gently. “Did you ever find that sweater you were so worried about?” He asked curiously.

Jennie shook her head,"Nope, it VANISHED," she said to him sighing a little, "It's fine though I can buy a new one if I need it," she said to him as she enjoyed the closeness of him. "I'm sure it won't get too cold while we're here,"

---

He nodded,"Oh? A puppy? what kind?"" he asked as he looked at her, "I mean... Ringo passed away like..a couple months ago I didn't think you'd be ready," he murmured.

She smiled a little. “I’m not sure what type I figure whatever stands out to us.” She murmured. “Of course I wish the puppy could have been Ringo’s sibling, and I’ll miss him no matter how much time has passed.” She said to him. “But I want to raise a puppy with you,” She said softly.

---

“Well you already informed me you’re taking my clothes at your convenience,” He teased, opening the door for her. “So I packed extra just for you.”

She smiled, "Great! So I should have more than enough," she giggled a little as she walked into the pub and pushed a hand through her hair, she was jet lagged - it was obvious in her tired face but she had to eat and stick out the day as best as she could. "Hm, smells good," she murmured lightly.

---

He nodded a little, "I can look into some breeders if you want?" he said to her with a small smile then wet his lips as he went to sit down.

“Please?” She smiled a little, eating her food. “I think it would be nice, plus with a puppy, we can work together on raising him or her.” She said, eating more of her food.

---

He grabbed a menu for the both of them nd went to sit in the back, handing it to her. “Anything you want?” He asked, looking at the menu over her shoulder. “The pork looks great, or corned beef?”
