"I am back!" Leo shouted out, when he stepped inside the house. He saw Yeonjun in the couch, dozed off.

Leo smiled as he crept up to the male, and kneeled down beside him.
The television was running, and Yeonjun was cocooned in a blue blanket.

Leo couldn't help but coo at his boyfriend.

He drew out his tattooed hand and swiped away the stray strand of hair from his soft face.
Poor baby was tired.

Just then Yeonjun slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey."
Leo whispered.

Yeonjun groaned lowly, and placed his own hand over the one on his cheek. Giving it a small peck.

"Hey. When did you get home?"

"Just now. Did you eat something? I brought ramen."

Yeonjun giggled slightly.
"Guess what. I bought ramen too."

Leo chuckled and kissed his nose, only to he pulled in by Yeonjun for a kiss on the lips. Leo smiled into the kiss.

This. This is what home feels like.

Leo talked about his exhibition, his paintings. Things that Yeonjun never gets bored about. But today his mind was occupied by thoughts of a dimpled giant bunny and Yeonjun couldn't help but almost slap himself to wake up from them.

"The gallery might hold a half-year gala next month. By then I will have to finish what I am working on."

Yeonjun hummed as he carried on with cutting his vegetables.
"Yeon?"

Say it!
You shouldn't hide it from him!

But you should.
What would Leo think?

If he finds out himself, he will hate you.
You will be alone.
Forever.

"Yeon?" Leo called again.

" I met Soobin today." Yeonjun blurted out before he could stop his tongue.

No.
I can't lose him so soon.
Is this the end?
Yeon, please.

Leo regained his composure.
"Oh. I mean when? How?"

Yeonjun took in a deep breath.

"I asked him if he wanted to hang out, since I had the day off. We went to the cafe and strolled around."
Leo hummed.
"Are you comfortable enough to talk to him?"

"Maybe. I don't know. It had been awkward at first, but I think we managed."

Leo slowly moved towards the other, encircling his arms around his waist and pulled him closer.

"Did you?"

Yeonjun stared up at him.
No he didn't.
He cried a lot in the shower.
He cried too much.
He doesn't know why it still hurts.

"Yeah, I think."

Yeonjun kept his gaze down, right now running his fingers along the purple tattoo in Leo's forearm.

"Yeon, look at me." Leo said.

Hesitantly, Yeonjun looked up to meet Leo's gorgeous ocean blue eyes.

The ones that had saved him. That brought him back.

Leo placed his palms on either side of Yeonjun's face, and pulled him close, landing a short kiss on his plump cherry lips.

"I know how you cry, baby. And it's too much sometimes. But you don't have to pretend you are okay in front of me. You can cry, you can thrash around, you can break things or even scream out. But please don't pretend baby. It hurts to see you like this."
