Beautiful, Beloved

Chapter 11: Love

Love does not mean you will always agree, see eye to eye, or never have an argument. It means despite the bad days, you still can't see yourself without that person.

It's Sunday, Ohm and Fluke decided to stay at home and spent their time relaxing in their own little world. They don't want to see and hear anyone else, just the two of them are enough. When they woke up, they took a shower together. No steamy make out, just them kissing and hugging, while the warm water runs down their bodies. After the shower they both eat breakfast in silence. Fluke stands up and puts his leg over Ohm, sitting on his lap. They both gaze deep into eo and Fluke leans in. His lips touch Ohm's very lightly and Fluke pulls back.

"I'm sorry." He says while placing his hands on the wide chest. Ohm smiles at him and he grabs Fluke by his waist. "I'm yours and no one can ever take me away from you." Ohm gives him feather light kisses on his cheeks, that makes Fluke giggles. "That is my favorite sound." Ohm keeps kissing him over his whole face and Fluke giggles more. He stops and they both stare again into eo eyes.

"Shall we bake something together?" Ohm asks and Fluke smiles at him. "We haven't had lunch yet?" Ohm hugs him closer, "So?" Ohm tickles him and Fluke squirms on his lap. He's laughing so loud and he tries to push away the big hands on his side. "W-What do you want to make then?" Fluke tries to even out his breathing.

Ohm thinks for a minute before he stands up, while still carrying Fluke around him. He's lucky Fluke doesn't weigh that much, so he can still carry him without a problem. Ohm opens a cabinet in the kitchen and takes out some boxes. Fluke is watching how Ohm is taking out all the equipment to bake, with his one hand, while his other hand is supporting him. Ohm then let Fluke sit on the counter and he stands in between his legs.

"Why don't we make chocolate cake?" Fluke looks at all the ingredients and equipment on the counter that Ohm placed. "Yes." Fluke smiles and gives Ohm a kiss. There are still a lot of questions Fluke wants to ask, but he doesn't know if he can ask them right now. Ohm is washing his hands, while Fluke is searching for a good recipe for the cake. He's still sitting on the counter.

"It was not the first time I took it." Fluke stops scrolling on his phone and looks at Ohm. "When I was still with Liam, we experimented a lot. I was used to taking them, so I knew if someone had to do it, it would have to be me. I would never forgive myself if they would lay a hand on you." Ohm closes the faucet and dries his hands.

"I was planning to go to Kyle, we were supposed to be discussing how we should catch Liam. Kyle gave me a small recording system a few days ago. We knew this would be the only thing that could be a solid proof against him." Fluke is watching how Ohm is getting a bowl and placing it on the table. "So how did you end up at Liam's." Ohm stops for a second and then continues to put the ingredients on the table.

"He wanted to meet me. I knew this would be my only chance to get him. So I went and he led me to that basement. When he left the room I hid the recorder at the night table. We did talk for a while and when I mentioned that girl he once drugged he began to confess everything to me. After that, one of the guys hit me and they tied me up. So Liam called you and-..."

"You're stupid." Fluke interrupts him. Ohm turns around and leans against the table. "I know." He says softly. Fluke opens his arms and Ohm gets in his embrace. "Don't ever do something like that again." Fluke caresses his hair, "I won't." Ohm hugs him tighter. They both stay like this for a while, before finally starting making the cake. Fluke decided to let Ohm make everything, while he just read the recipe out loud. Fluke is still sitting on the counter taking pictures of his lover and eating some strawberries.

They're talking and laughing in between. Finally Ohm puts the cake in the oven and after 30 minutes, he takes it out. Only the chocolate icing is left for them to do, so Ohm let Fluke do this one. After everything is ready they taste it together and let out a satisfied hum, because the cake tasted better than they thought.
