"So, who's gonna start first?" Apo said, grinning widely at his new husband.

"Since you are my husband, let me serve you, dear," winked Mile before going behind the bar counter. Mile loves to mix his own cocktails. Even though cocktails supposed to have some alcohols in them but Mile prefer to have them without alcohols or with less alcohols.

Apo watched Mile mixing the cocktails. Sure enough, his husband had some skills. Blame the high from the party but Mile did look extremely handsome and Apo's heart skipped a beat. The lighting and the soft music playing did not help at all, in Apo's opinion. He really caught a big fat fish, wasn't him?

"Mesmerized by me?" teased Mile.

"In your dreams, Mile," retorted Apo but he was blushing.

"There. For you," Mile served Apo the mixes he did.

Apo took his time to savor all the flavors. It was actually delicious.

"What is this?"

"Well, I don't have a name for it, yet. I kinda mixed it on the spot for you?" Mile sheepishly said.

"Ohhhh. You are so mesmerized by my beauty that you ended up making a new custom-made cocktail, special for me?"

"You can put it that way. You are really a beauty, Apo,"

"Are you flirting with me, husband?"

"I don't see anything wrong with it," shrugged Mile.

Apo laughed. It was beautiful. Mile was totally enchanted. He leaned forward and kissed Apo because why not.

"Can't get enough of me?" teased Apo.

"You tasted delicious," winked Mile. Again, Apo blushed.

"Stop it, Mile. Have mercy on me. Now, move, let me take over and make you a custom-made too,"

They switched places but still managed to steal a kiss from each other. Sap.

Mile watched Apo walks around the counter. The way he holds the apparatus, the way he mixed everything, they were graceful and languid.

"Here, for you," smiled Apo. Just like Apo, Mile also took his time to taste and savor all the flavors in the drinks.

"Delicious, distinct, unique and sweet. Just like you," winked Mile.

"Mile!"

"What? I'm telling the truth. And you are graceful with your skills. Beautiful indeed,"

"Are you trying to make me combust here?" pouted Apo. Oh, Mile really wanted to kiss that pout away.

"Dear husband of mine, I'm merely stating facts," said Mile nonchalantly.

"Fine. Whatever," Apo gave up. Mile will never stop teasing him. He had to accept that.

Mile chuckled at Apo antics.

"Come here. Sit beside me," and Apo did as he was told. Mile took Apo's hand and hold it tight.

"Apo, I never woo you properly. In ancient way, they said courting. So, allow me to at least to woo you properly? I know our marriage is far from a love-match one but I would like very much to try and win your heart,"

"Mile..."

"Will you allow me to properly court you and win your heart?"

Apo heart was full of a lot of emotions. He did have a crush on Mile. He accepted the marriage mainly because of his father and Mile's sincerity. He already resigned to have a loveless marriage. At least, with Mile, he thought they could form friendship and camaraderie, and maybe when they were ready, they could add one or two children into the frame. But now Mile was earnestly asking permission to woo him properly, to win his heart, hence who is Apo to deny such request from Mile when his heart already singing with Mile's name?

"Yes Mile, yes, please," Apo was close to tearing up but Mile was faster to ease the overwhelming emotions with kissing. They kissed and they hugged each other. They were basking in each other's presence.

"It's quite late. Shall we sleep?"

"Hm. Let's sleep. And I think I'm quite tipsy," confessed Apo.

"Oh? You are a light drinker?"

"I might used to work in a bar but I'm not really a fan of alcohol. So, my tolerance is a baby,"

Mile chuckled.

"Me too. I don't really like alcohol. I love wine though,"

"Ugh, high taste,"

"Can't escape wine when there are events and functions. Speaking of that, you will have to join me in the upcoming charity event,"

"Oh, when is it?"

"In the next 2 weeks, I guess. Never mind, it still far away,"

"If you say so. Hmm, Mile?"

"Yes?"

"Sleep?"

Mile openly laughed.

"Sleepyhead," he softly flicks Apo's forehead.

They changed into their pajamas. They choose to skip bath that night. After brushing their teeth and washed their face, they both settled on the massive bed.

"This is so big. 4 people can fit in your bed, Mile,"

"Yeah, sure but I only want you here,"

"Mile!"

Mile laughed again. Don't blame him. It's fun to tease Apo.

"I hate you," whined Apo.

"Don't worry, I'll make you fall for me,"

"Ughh, fine,"

"Po, can I hug you to sleep?"

"Yeah, sure,"

Mile took the liberty to rearrange themselves to a more comfortable position.

"Good night, Apo," Mile kissed Apo's forehead.

"Mmm. G'night," Apo mumbled but he did burrow his face deeper into Mile's side.
