Fix You

22

The pair walk around the market, hand in hand because now Minho is clingy. He can't let go, maybe afraid, but mostly too attached.

"Ooh!! Hyung can we make a casserole?" Minho pulls at their hands so they can be directed to the meats.

Chan lets Minho drag him around the market. A smile on his lips because, damn, Minho is glowing and he likes to think it's thanks to him.

Even if it might not be.

"Okay but can we also get beer!?" Chan begs.

Minho chuckles but nods anyway, the lady on the beef stand smiles at the pair as she wraps their order. Both look so happy and wrapped around each other.

"let's get a candle!!" Minho tugs at Chan's hand pulling him to a small stand where lots of candles are set out, a small girl and boy sitting on the other side.

"Hello hyung, candles are a pretty gift!" The tiny girl tells Minho, showing of her tiny teeth.

Minho smiles "which one smells better, honey?" He asks tenderly.

Chan can't seem to look away. Stupefied by Minho's sweet and tender smile.

"Ohh!!" The boy jumps off his chair and stands closer to the table "this one hyung! Mommy makes them to smell like candy!!!" He exclaims.

Minho chuckles and picks up the candle, giving it a tiny sniff, sure enough a sweet smell enters his nose.

"Oh, Chan hyung!! Smell!!" His voice resembles the child, it makes Chan laugh a bit, he leans in to smell the candle.

"I like it," Chan turns to the kids "do you have any other suggestions?" He asks them, the kids nod fast, toothy grins. "Wrap then up, all a gift for my boyfriend" he winks at the kids.

Both of them squeal and giggle cutely, even more after Chan shows them his intertwined hand with Minho's.

Min is a blushing mess. A cute blushing mess.

"Oi!" The boy wants to argue but immediately stops as Chan raises an eyebrow at him, his blush grows making his cheeks burn.

"Do you not want the candles?" Chan asks.

Minho pouts "I do" He slumps against Chan, hugging him by the waist and resting his chin on the man's shoulder "thank you Channie hyung" he whispers in a sweet tone.

Chan feels a small shiver go down his spine. Loving the new feeling and the way Minho's arms wrap around him as if they are made for that. It's all new yet so familiar.

"Your welcome baby" he says looking straight into Minho's eyes, smiles on both of their faces.

"I love you so much"

Chan can't help but state the obvious.

Minho feels drunk again, on words on the moment.

But he remembers what Chan told him, what Felix and Jeongin have warned him. And even if he feels it, he has to be sure of what it is that he feels.

Love?

"hyung..." Minho whimpers "thank you"

Chan knows what that thank you means; he knows it's not just a thank you. It means much more. Words left in the air because they need no explanation.

So the man just smiles, nods and leans in planting a small kiss to Minho's forehead as the boy's grip around his waist is stronger.

"That's so sweet" a rougher voice says behind the two man.

Chan turns his head, he smiles.

Minho turns as well, a confused look on his face.

"Officer Eric!!" Chan says "hey, I haven't seen you in a while!!" He softly turns, causing Minho to drop the hug.
