minho ended up falling asleep curled up on chan's chest in the bathtub and the older man didn't bother to wake him up until he saw him slightly shaking. the water was colder than when they first jumped in the bathtub and chan soon began feeling a little bit shaky himself as well.

so much time had passed and chan didn't want to risk staying inside for any longer since he had made a reservation and he didn't want to miss it. he had fought to book a table at that restaurant. it was the most famous one in the whole city and if he hadn't had that friend that worked part-time at the lobby, chan would have never managed to find a table.

the older man chuckled lightly when he noticed the pout that had formed on minho's lips due to his cheeks getting squeezed on chan's chest. he looked so innocent like that and so, so peaceful. chan could stay there in the water staring at him all day.

of course he had noticed minho's scars. he knew about the ones on his arms and wrists but minho had never told him about the other ones on the rest of his body. chan felt his heart breaking at the sight of the faint lines on the boy's skin but he tried to hide his pain, not wanting to make minho feel insecure or uncomfortable. it was his first time coming out of his comfort zone, he didn't want to ruin this moment for him.

chan made a silent promise to himself to press a kiss on every single scar on minho's body if the younger let him some time in the future. he promised to caress them with light touches, shower them with love and adoration. show minho that every part of him was beautiful, even the most scarred and ruined parts.

after spending 5 more minutes in the bathtub, procrastinating to wake minho up, the older finally decided to swallow down his hesitation and bring minho back from dreamland. no matter how much he wanted to stay there with minho forever, he had made plans.

"sweetheart?" chan whispered gently as he pressed small, faint kisses on minho's shoulder. "it's time to wake up my love. the water's gotten cold and you're shaking."

minho stirred awake slowly and lifted his head, staring at chan's smiley face with half-closed eyes. "i'm still sleepy."

chan chuckled and caressed minho's cheek, being careful not to accidentally splash any soap in his eyes. "i can make you coffee once we get out. come on. we have a long day ahead. we can't stay here all day."

minho whined but he eventually gave up and nodded in defeat. "fine. i'll go out. just please close your eyes again until i wrap a towel around myself."

chan grinned and after washing up the soap from their bodies, he did as minho told him and closed his eyes, covering them both with his hands to assure minho that he really wasn't going to watch.

minho felt all warm and fuzzy inside at chan's consideration and carefully slipped away from the older's arms, slowly and steadily standing up on the bathtub. the boy grabbed the towel that was hanging above the toilet right next to the bathtub and wrapped it around himself, suddenly feeling cold at the lack of chan's arms around him. minho stepped out of the bathtub completely and after drying his feet with the towel he put his slippers back on and snuggled into the towel. "you can open your eyes now."

chan removed his hands from his eyes and smiled when he saw minho standing awkwardly next to the door, all snuggled up into his fluffy mint towel. after letting out a small chuckle, chan got up as well and minho instantly turned around again, not wanting to see the elder's naked body. and chan was okay with it. minho needed time.

once chan was covered up as well, he walked up to minho and gently wrapped his arms around his towel-covered waist, placing his chin on his shoulder. "do you want to go dress up now? i'll go make us some coffee and once you're done dressing up i'll go dress too."

minho hummed and turned his head toward chan's, kissing the side of his head softly. "i'll go. just tell me where you're taking me later so that i know what kind of clothes to wear."

"it's a surprise. but you can wear anything you want really. you'd look gorgeous in everything."

minho blushed and turned away, wanting to hide his red cheeks and ears from chan even though the older had probably already noticed the way his skin changed color. "shut up. what if i wear jeans and a hoodie and you take me to a fancy, expensive restaurant? or what if i wore a suit and we went to an amusement park? i need at least a hint if you don't want to tell me where we're going."

chan laughed at his boyfriend's desperate tone and unconsciously tightened his arms around his torso even more. "wear something that is neither too fancy nor too simple. i can't give you any more hints."

minho sighed and pulled away from chan's arms, pouting. "fine. but if i look too out of place i'll kill you."

chan giggled when minho folded his arms in front of his chest and glared at him, trying to look intimidating and scary. of course he failed though because in chan's eyes, minho looked like the cutest person on earth no matter what he did.

"you're so adorable." chan cooed and pinched minho's cheek and the younger gasped in disbelief, slapping chan's hand away from his face and pushing him off him.

"i'm going to dress up." minho mumbled and opened the door, running away from the bathroom as quickly as possible to avoid having to endure chan's love and affection for any longer.

he always pretended to hate it when chan got all cuddly and affectionate with him but both males knew how much minho loved it, even though he never showed it.

physical touch was his favorite thing and no matter how much he tried to hide it, his attempts were always unsuccessful.
