Slip (Off/Gun)

Author's note: I got carried away again. Continuation from Off/Gun vacation AU.

To the Gun's surprise, walking ower to Off's house didn't take much time. He started fidgeting as soon as they stopped in front of the small wooden gate. New rolled his eyes at his behaviour. 

"We are here!" New shouted, making Gun jump a little. An older woman appeared a second later, a wide smile plastered on her wrinkled face as she pulled New into the hug. 

"It's nice to see you again, New. And you must be Gun?" The woman grinned, pulling the stunned boy in her arms too. He only managed to nod before she started to speak again.

"Off was talking nonstop about you. He was right. You are cute. He always has this dreamy expression when he speaks about you. And I finally know why." She giggled, leading the confused Gun and laughing New inside the house. 

"Off is in the backyard. Go, and help him?" The old lady pushed Gun outside. Gun shook his head, still trying to comprehend that his crush had a crush on him. He could feel his cheeks heating as he spotted Off, preparing the things for the barbecue. He looked so handsome doing it. 

"Gun?" Off smiled, a little surprise visible on his face. 

"Hi," Gun whispered, biting his lower lip. He didn't know how to act around the older man, now that he knew about his feelings. It was weird and beautiful at the same time. 

"Do you need help?" He asked, blushing. 

"Are you alright? You sound strange." Off frowned, taking a few steps closer to him. Gun instinctively stepped back. 

"Your grandma." Gun stuttered, avoiding Off's eyes. 

"My grandma, what?" Off frowned, confusedly. 

"Cute," Gun muttered again, peeking at the taller man shyly. Off's eyes widened as realization hit him. His cheeks turned bright red.

"Fuck! Grandma! You blabbermouth!"Off yelled, storming inside the house, leaving stunned Gun behind. 

"You told him?!" He heard Off's voice coming from inside.

"I am sorry it just slipped out of my mouth when I saw him." The woman apologized. 

"You can't tell him I like him instead of me!" Off scolded her, probably not realizing Gun could hear him. 

"You know, he can hear you?" Grandma laughed.

"Fuck." Off cursed again. If the situation involved someone else, Gun would have laughed too.  He hears someone approaching. His heart was hammering in his chest with such a force he could faint. 

"Did you hear?" Off asked as he stood in front of him. Gun nodded because he didn't trust his voice.

"And?" Off added, anticipating an answer from the smaller male. 

"I like you too," Gun whispered, biting his lip nervously. 

"That's good." Off replayed with a smile.
