If only the brunet could be less thoughtful and cheesy because the gray-eyed young man's heart missed a beat every time the latter covered him with gifts or kisses and for the present case, roses.

"Roses... again..."

His cheeks were slightly red as he stood in the doorway of his apartment, the blue-eyed male holding out a bouquet of ten beautiful red roses. It would have been the sweetest thing he would have done today if it wasn't raining like crazy outside and he hadn't taken an umbrella with him, now looking like a mop on his doorstep.

The dark-haired man laughed before sneezing, making droplets fall on the ground in the passage. The other man sighed when he saw the state he was in and invited him to come inside, telling him to wait a moment while he went to get a clean towel. The male came back after a few seconds and crushed it on the other's head then started rubbing without delicacy.

"A-Aesop-"

"Shut up. How can you be so absent-minded? It must have been raining for a week and you still don't have an umbrella?!"

"S-sorry, I just forgot again..."

"You're unbelievable."

"But that's also why you love me~"

Eli chuckled and Aesop stopped drying his hair. The brunet gave him a sly look from behind his brown locks, causing the other to blush sharply and smother him with the towel before heading back to the living room.

"Idiot. Hurry up and come in before it gets cold."

"Yes~"

The brown-haired man removed his wet shoes in the hallway and then followed the silver-haired one to the living room where the table was already set. He placed the towel on the back of his chair before taking a seat but just as his butt landed, the other male kicked him in the shin, getting a muffled cry from the latter.

"What was that for!?"

"Go wash your hands first."

Eli clicked his tongue but stood up, there was one thing he feared and that was pissing the other off. So he left the living room to go wash his hands in the kitchen then returned after a few seconds and the two men could finally begin their dinner. As usual, Aesop's cooking was simply divine. Each bite was a treat for the palate and the brunet could not get enough of it.

"I can die happy now."

"S-Shut up and eat... It's nothing special..."

Aesop blushed again at the dark-haired man's words as he smiled stupidly. It may not have been much, but in his eyes, tasting his lover's cooking and having a nice time like this was priceless. Once they finished, they cleared the table together and then settled on the sofa to enjoy a quiet time, Eli having brought back his computer for the night.  

"What are you watching?"

"A new show-"

The brunet couldn't finish his sentence when the other male came to land on his lap, forcing him to remove his computer which was in that spot originally and put it to the side. He bit his lower lip, a mixture of various feelings taking hold of him. It was always the same thing, every time he did something, Aesop would come and disturb him by getting in the way and acting like a child.

It didn't really bother him and he actually found it adorable but it was also a challenge for him to restrain himself from jumping on him here and there. Of course, the man in question was perfectly aware of this and was enjoying watching the other struggle with his carnal desires just like now where he was looking at the news feed on his phone while humming.

"Remind me again who is unbelievable...?"

"You."

Eli sighed and dropped his head into the crook of Aesop's neck. The latter let out a laugh and patted his head lightly. Indeed, the dark-haired man could never win against his lover, but it wasn't that horrible. It was an invisible contract that he had signed when the latter had accepted his declaration and there was no turning back now that he had obtained the merchandise. 

"Can I still watch my show? We can watch it together if you want."

"I don't like your taste. I just want to cuddle."

The male sighed again. So this was what it felt like to be at the mercy of his boyfriend. He complied with the other's wishes though and wrapped his arms around his waist, placing a series of kisses on his neck and against his cheek. Aesop chuckled at the tickle it gave him and put his arms around Eli's shoulders then pressed a kiss against his lips.

Ah... That was just perfect, he thought.
