The street lights flickered in the cool evening air. The light pollution from above glittered against the darkened buildings, and the sounds of cars on busy streets drifted through the quiet street, mingling with music coming from a small house further down the street. Everything seemed so peaceful, and it's almost too good to be true.

A sigh escaped Beomgyu's lips as he leaned back against the backrest of a bench. He stared up at the darkening sky, taking in the view; the moon shone brightly, the stars scattered across the sky were out in full force. It's beautiful. He smiled softly, letting out another heavy sigh. This moment was so calm, perfect.

His fingers tapped rhythmically against the armrest of the bench, the sound of his tapping filled in by the sound of traffic passing by on the street below. His eyes flickered between the bright light from above and the stars twinkling in the distance.

He watched as cars rushed past, then closed his eyes, and basked in the calming atmosphere surrounding him, listening to the vehicles pass by outside, and to the people walking in the streets, laughing and having fun along the way. The sounds of the city couldn't even be heard over the music blasting from an apartment building nearby.

Beomgyu hummed softly under his breath, leaning his head backwards slightly. There were a few moments where he couldn't take it anymore. He was so bored, and tired, but when there wasn't anything else to do, the boredom just became unbearable. So many things had happened recently that all he wanted to do was to go home and sleep.

And yet, for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to leave. He felt drawn, pulled towards the bustling city life outside. A feeling he didn't quite understand, and he just couldn't get it out of his head.

The city was always so alive, and it was something Beomgyu loved so dearly. It was nothing like the darkness inside of him.

"I'm back", Yeonjun called out joyfully as he ran to his husband with two ice creams in his hands, grabbing the younger's attention as he sat on the bench beside him. "Here", he held out the strawberry ice cream towards Beomgyu, because he knew it was the boy's favourite flavour.

"Thanks", Beomgyu smiled warmly as he accepted the treat from his lovely husband.

Yeonjun grinned as he leaned over and pecked Beomgyu lightly. "You're welcome. I brought extra, though." Yeonjun chuckled as he pointed towards the ice cream tub that rested between them.

Beomgyu rolled his eyes playfully, chuckling at how cheesy Yeonjun had been. "You did? You always do", Beomgyu said jokingly, poking at his husband's cheek.

"Hey! I only do that for you", Yeonjun pouted.

"I know", Beomgyu smirked. "That's why I love you so much"

Yeonjun giggled as he kissed his nose gently before both of them could pop open the lids of their ice cream pints. Beomgyu scooped out some onto his finger and took his time slowly, letting each lick and taste of the strawberry ice cream melt perfectly in his mouth, relishing the flavours. Once his fingers were clean, Beomgyu wrapped his fingers around his own straw. Taking a large bite, Beomgyu sighed contently as the coolness travelled throughout his body. He felt so happy at this moment. It was almost too perfect.

Beomgyu looked to his right. He smiled happily as he saw his husband staring at him lovingly, watching as Beomgyu slurped down the delicious ice cream.

As they sat, enjoying themselves, the two boys savoured every second of the silence. They didn't really need to fill it with small conversations or talking about any other subjects that came to their minds. The silence was enough for now.

But eventually, after sitting together, eating ice cream and enjoying themselves, the two decided to leave. Beomgyu got up and stretched as Yeonjun did the same. They walked to Yeonjun's car that was parked a few meters away and seated themselves inside.
