Growing Together

Chapter 19

When they had headed back towards the table, Sun had taken the tray from Mork's hands and ushered him and Kitty to sit down first before he was even setting the tray down on the table. "I want to formally introduce my boyfriend, Mork, and our good friend Kitty." He said with a smile as motioned to them both—although, with Mork, Sun had gently flicked his under chin in a loving way making Mork look at him with such a sweet smile.

"It's nice to meet you," They both had said with a smile, while Mork had grabbed Sun's hand and pulled it away from his face and just held it on his lap, beneath the table.

The sweet little act wasn't missed from the group, which had Techno eyeing Type with a knowing look. "I'm sure you know those two, so there is no point in introducing them." He said—not missing the way Kitty had nodded her head as if saying 'yes, we know them'—before he was motioning towards the baby in Tharn's arms. "This precious baby, is their son, Korn." Techno said with a smile, "I'm Techno, and this hunk beside me, is my husband, Kengkla."

"Hunk, huh? Are you trying to flirt with me right now with so many people around?" Kla couldn't help but tease his own wife making Techno give him a look of disgust. Although, if you looked closely, there was this tint of pink dusted over his cheeks.

Sun couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, even Tharn seemed to find it a bit amusing.

"P'Tharn, P'Type, I didn't know your son was this big already," Kitty cooed at the baby just finding it so endearing to see the baby nibbling at the snacks Mork had brought him. She had never thought she would see her idol in such a domestic setting—with a baby slobbering over his hand and leaving traces of soft crackers over his sleeve.

It seemed the talk about his son had Type softening from that look he had been giving them moments ago. "Ah, that's because Tharn made sure the media couldn't get pictures of Korn." He said gently caressing his child's cheek, which had baby Korn turning towards his mother with those big round eyes and that toothless smile. "Goodness, Korn, you're making a mess," Type had cooed going to grab a napkin only to see Mork handing him one.

"He's so adorable, P, he's definitely going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up," Kitty said which only had Techno adding to it with his own 2 cents.

Sun had ended up changing the topic to Techno, asking him how the others were—considering he had let Todd's name slip. They had all been busy talking about their friends and how the gathering had gone, that they had completely changed their focus. It was so nice for Sun to hear that their friends had all been doing well and had started already forming their own families. The idea had him glancing at Mork for a moment only to see that his focus hadn't been on the conversation but on the baby who was staring at him as well.

Tharn, being the one to notice, had only looked at the younger male and said, "Want to hold him?" He knew his wife wasn't particularly comfortable with letting strangers hold their son, yet, but even Type didn't seem like he was opposed to it.

"Are you sure, it's okay?" Mork had asked already unfolding his hands.

"Sure, it seems Korn likes you," Type said with a soft smile directed towards his son. He wasn't sure about Mork, yet, but Korn seemed to be.

"See, it's okay," Tharn said carefully getting up to hand his son over to Mork.

It was a bit awkward, but Mork couldn't help but smile at the child that had settled into his arms. The baby had just leaned back into the crease of his arm and kicked his little legs just trying to reach out to him. Mork felt his heart skip a beat just seeing him and thinking that baby Mini would be like this one day. "It's different than I imaged," He said to Sun when he felt his boyfriend lean in to ruffle Korn's hair.

"Hm, he moves a lot more than Mini does, huh?" Sun joked making a face at the baby, which earned him this excited little gurgle from Korn.

Mork couldn't help but shake his head at that as he carefully adjusted Korn in his arms, afraid he would choke if he stayed laying down. Mork's fingers were gently whipping away the crumbs from his face gently cooing at him when he squealed at him so happily.

It was a golden opportunity that Techno couldn't let go of, so he had naturally let his mouth run. "We heard you were sick, N'Mork." He said giving Sun this look as he motioned towards the baby in Mork's arms, "Could it be that you're hiding something?" He said insinuating something meant for Sun, though Mork had caught it.

"Ah...It's not like that P," Mork said with an awkward chuckle as he handed the baby back to Tharn. It wasn't like the idea made him uncomfortable, but it sure was odd to get it from a stranger. He and Sun hadn't even had that conversation so he wasn't sure what he thought about it. Did he want to have kids? But seeing him pull away from him had Mork excusing himself for a moment to answer the call that couldn't have come at a better time.

Sun had only looked towards Mork's retrieving back as he went before he was looking towards Techno—who being scolded by his husband for making a bad joke. "It's okay," Sun assured that it wasn't a big deal. Actually, maybe, Techno had opened up the conversation for them. They hadn't really spoken much about the future together—outside, from the future they hoped for the café—but Sun wanted to talk about it more and more with every passing day.

He wanted to marry Mork and have a family with him. He had never been sure about sharing his future with anyone else like he was about him. He really wanted to hurry up and propose.

Kitty, on the other hand, had only helped ease the tension made from Techno's joke. "Don't worry, Mork isn't someone to take a joke like that to heart. He's probably just worried about Kao." Kitty said getting their attention on her.

"Who's Kao?" Type had asked raising a brow.
