Love by Chance

PART V

Ohm was trying to pick up his chin that was, apparently, on the ground after hearing Fluke's weird proposal.

"Wait, you said you're still in College. How old are you?", Fluke remembered.

"I'm 23. Fluke did you listen to me?", Ohm was still in shock.

"Yeah, I did, Ohm. Like I said the other day, I'm exhausted of living by other people's standards. How about we create one ourselves?", Fluke was staring deeply into Ohm's eyes and something in his gaze helped Ohm make a choice.

From this point, the two started the whole "let's get to know each other" thing couples usually do. They went to the movies, always meeting each other for meals even in the middle of the work week and spending as much time together as they could.

Like that time they went to a restaurant and decided to come back home walking:

"And then, Yihwa said almost screaming, what was quite a scene and everybody was looking at us: 'If you're not hitting on me, what are you doing?'", Ohm was telling one of his memories from high school, "And I was like 'I'm trying to hit on your best friend! Is he single?' Then everyone on the school discovered I was into boys too. By the time I got home that day, the whole city knew I'm pansexual. You know, the perks of living in a small town where everybody knows each other!"

"And how was that?", Fluke asked scared.

"It was okay. My mom said that she thinks is pretty weird parents who try to speculate about their child's sexuality and that didn't change a single thing in our relationship. My mom is the best woman I have ever met in this life!", Ohm said with sparkling eyes creating in Fluke the secret wish of meeting the incredible lady.

Sometimes they just lazily sat on the couch and watched something on Netflix:

"What superhero would you like to be, baby?", Ohm asked while they were watching Iron Man.

"I think i'd like to be the Black Widow! She's amazing! So smart and strong! Everyone tends to think less of her just because she's a woman and she can literally kill everyone in the room in 10 seconds!", Fluke said excited.

And in some rare occasions, they just randomly met because they wanted to be together.

"Baby, do you wanna go to that new restaurant I told you about yesterday?", Fluke texted.

"It sounds great, love! But I might be a little late because I'm still stuck at work right now.", Ohm texted a while after.

After the dinner, like usual, they went to Ohm's condo. They were getting used to each other's places since they frequently spent a couple of days or the whole weekend together, but sometimes that made them forgetting their personal belongings.

"Babe, can I borrow your charger? I forgot mine and my battery is dead!", Fluke asked.

"Sure, it's on my backpack. I think it is on the couch." Ohm said as he was still finishing setting the washing machine to do its job when he remembered what else besides the charger was inside his backpack.

When he caught Fluke, he was already with those things on his hand and a huge question mark above his head.

"What the hell are these?"
