The pancakes were almost ready, they were slowly turning into that gold-brownish color Simone liked them- when he hears the bathroom door close. There's a yawn and slow, dragged footsteps, he knows who it is but he doesn't turn around just yet. He can't get distracted from the food in the pan, they're gonna burn and no one will eat them. He keeps the pancakes cooking for a few more seconds and finally turns the stove off. 

He's just plating them when he feels arms wrap around his hips and a body press against him. He smiles and closes his eyes taking the moment in. 

"Good morning handsome", Manuel whispers in his neck. Simone can hear from the way he's talking he's still half asleep, the smell of the pancakes must've woken him up. 

"How are we supposed to eat these if you don't let me go?" Simone asks.

Manuel doesn't seem to care, he holds Simone even closer and snuggles against his neck.

"I woke up and you weren't there, you know how much I hate it" he cries. Simone lets himself go in his embrace and smiles again. That's all he does when he's around Manuel.

"I know, but you have class in one hour, and I have errands to run, that's why I made you these" he explains. Manuel sighs but leaves a kiss on his neck. 

"We'll eat in a minute. Just sixty seconds, I promise" he says.

They're on their feet in the kitchen, slightly moving left and right. Simone's head resting on Manuel's shoulder, the height difference will definitely make his neck hurt but he doesn't dare to move.

A few minutes go by, when Simone takes them both back to reality. 

"Let's eat now, c'mon," he says freeing himself from Manuel.

The other rolls his eyes at him but sits in his chair and eats.

"Your hands are not capable of making something bad I swear" he compliments while biting his second pancake.

Simone is literally inside his wardrobe trying to find his new jacket. He could swear he's been looking for it for about half an hour now, but nothing. It's nowhere. Till he gets an idea of where it might be. 

"Manu!" he yells, standing up from his kneeling and going into the living room. Manuel's laying on the couch playing games on his phone, not minding Simone basically screaming too much. 

"Manuel?" Simone says lowering his voice and breathing trying to gain some patience. "A week ago I bought a jacket, and today I wanna wear it, do you happen to know where it is? By any chance?" 

"...No?"

"Manuel" his tone firm. Manuel knew he was fucked.

"I wore it" he confessed, Simone nodded, he knew already but he also knew there was more. "And...?" he encouraged. "And I forgot it on the train two days ago" he continues. His voice was barely a whisper and his eyes never met Simone's. 

Simone breathes again, a few times, a hundred times. 

"Manuel oh my god!" His hands on his hips. The other finally looks at him with a little smile on his face hoping it helps his forgiving him process. 

"I'm so sorry, I was tired after classes I just wanted to get home quick and left it there, I'm so sorry, I'll buy it for you again", he says while getting up from the couch to face his boyfriend. "You're not mad, right? I'll make it up to you" he continues looking at him with his big brown eyes he knows Simone can't resist. 

Simone turns around trying to calm down, he gets it, it was an accident. He just really liked that jacket. He could never be mad at Manuel for something like this.

And without having the time to say something back he feels his arms around his waist. Simone realizes Manuel knows his weak points way too well at this point. The older twists his neck to look up at him from below.

 "I'm mad I didn't get to see you wearing it" Simone speaks. Manuel laughs and tickles his hip. 

"I'll buy you another one and then I'll wear it just for you," he says. Simone's eyes go a little dark at the thought. Manuel notices "No shirt beneath it" he adds. 

Simone sighs. He is obviously very interested in the idea. 

"Fine then. Do that quick though" he says before leaving a kiss on his cheek. 

"Yes sir" Manuel replies hugging him tighter.

-

It's the middle of the night, Manuel can tell by the way the sky is dark outside of the window. He taps the mattress under him with his hand looking for Simone, but all he found were the bedsheets. 

He slowly opens his eyes more and more and sees lighting coming from the other side of the room, and it suddenly clicks. He's been studying. Simone had an upcoming exam and it had been at the center of his life for weeks now, he wouldn't get up from books for hours.

He checks the time on his phone almost blinding himself 'cause of the lighting. 4:34. He sighs. 

As he decides to get up and drag his ass to sleep, he feels the dip in the bed as Simone crawls in behind him. He hears him breathe as if he's done running the longest possible marathon. He feels his fingers play with his curls and breathe again in relief. An arm snakes in under one of Manuel's arms and pulls him against his chest, he then proceeds to tangle their legs together and finally relaxes behind him. 

"I know you're up. I'm fine" he whispers. Simone knows Manuel's been worrying for him.

"I don't want you to get sick because of an exam Simo" Manuel replies.

"I won't. I promise" he swears, locking it in with a kiss at the nape of his neck. 

"Remember it's just an exam, however it goes you've given your best" he reassures him. 

There are a few minutes of silence before Simone replies, shaky and sobbing. "I wish I saw myself the way you see me"

Tears fall down his eyes wetting Manuel's shirt along his shoulder, but he knows he's safe with Manuel so he lets himself go. Manuel turns around and faces him, he takes his hand and kisses his knuckles. 

"I see you as everyone else sees you" he starts. He kisses his forehead before speaking again. "As the most selfless, caring, pure-hearted human being on this earth. Nothing in this world will make you less worthy, not even a stupid exam. We all love you so much because you are you" Manuel says. Simone's eyes full of tears, his hands holding his boyfriends'.

"And I love you because no one like you makes me feel the way you do. Nobody in this world knows me the way you do, and nobody in this world loves me as you love me." Manuel keeps speaking. "I'll be by your side in your every step. Now please get some sleep, my love, yeah?"

Simone nods and cuddles up against him, lulled by the words he just heard still fluttering in his head. 

"I love you too" He whispers before falling asleep.
