Fated to be yours

Chapter 42

"Nooooooooo!" Mew wails dramatically, slumping back on the couch.

"Yay" Gulf bounces on his seat, fists up in the air in victory and giggles watching him pout.

They were in the theatre room, having a video game marathon. And this was Mew's fifth consecutive loss.

"I can't believe you are this bad in video games" Gulf giggles.

Mew huffs, "I am not bad in it, I told you that it's just been a while since I have played so just a bit rusty."

"Sure" Gulf shrugs, a teasing smile on his lips.

He narrows his eyes on him, "Brat." His boy just giggles louder bouncing from his seat to collect the consoles and put them back at their place.

Days have been busy lately, he is swamped with work. The project he is working on is an important one and is expected to be started in a few weeks so he hardly has time to spend time with his baby, but Gulf has been such a darling as always and so understanding and supportive.

In fact, to make up for his lack of time devoted to his husband, he wanted to take Gulf out today but his baby suggested that they spend the day at home, lazing around. He knows Gulf only suggested that for him so that after a tiring week he can finally get some rest. Such an angel.

Gulf turns to him grabbing the tv remote, "want to watch a movie?"

"Sure" he smiles.

"Which one?"

"I am fine with anything, you can choose. I will grab the snacks" he says and slides out from his seat only to stop when Gulf gives him a look.

Hands on hips, Gulf sighs as if it should have been obvious, "Mr. Suppasit, it's your turn to choose."

Huh? "My turn?"

"Yes, last time we watched what I decided so it's your turn now."

Oh.

Well, in his defense he never had to do this before. He has always let others decide so...this is a first. And, it definitely feels good to be asked about his opinion too. Gulf is waiting for his answer so he nods and after thinking for a moment, confesses, "I am not in a mood for something heavy today, so how about an animated movie? A Disney one perhaps?"

"Which one?"

Aow, he has to decide this too? He pouts, "Can you decide it for me? I can't seem to think of any."

"That I can do" Gulf grins at him before turning back to the screen.

Grabbing the snacks and drinks quickly he walks back to the couch and looks at the screen. The credits are already rolling so he can't tell which movie Gulf has chosen.

Gulf scoots closer, snuggling into his arms as soon as he is back to his seat and he can't help the smile that splits his face as he feels his heart brimming with happiness.

He had never imagined he would be so happy someday, that someday someone would look at him like he really matters too. That finally he will get a love like he always dreamed of. And honestly, it does feel like he is living a dream. A dream, where he feels so loved, so cared for, so adored... it's surreal.

In the past, whenever his relationships ended he mopped around, cursing his luck. And after having his heart broken a few times, he had shut his heart off, told himself that he is done with love. But now, all the breakups and hurt make sense. It's all so clear. They never worked out, because he hadn’t met his the 'one' yet. They never worked out, because the universe had better things in store for him. All those other relationships never worked out because they weren’t the boy in his arms right now. "They weren't you."
