Chapter 23 : You Sly Bitch, You

Bright's eyes flutter open at the light from the sun that is peeking through the curtain in the bedroom. He instantly smiles when he feels the warmth from Win's body that is glued to his. The younger man's arms are wrapped around his torso. His chin is resting on top of Bright's head, cuddling him close. How did they end up like this Win's bed?

Last night, Win fell asleep on the sofa while hugging Bright. The older man didn't have a heart to wake him up because his partner looked very tired. Thus, he carried him to his bedroom. Once he placed him on the bed, Win tugged on his hand and mumbled sleepily, "Stay with me." Bright obliged to his request and got in bed with Win, with the younger man spooning him.

Bright shifts his body to lie on his side. He tilts his head up to have a better view of Win's beautiful face. Some strings in his heart are strumming a soft song as he stares at the face that has become familiar to him for two years now. His hand moves up to caress the younger man's jaw. Bright slides his forefinger along his partner's prominent jawline, silently praising on how well-defined it is.

Win feels ticklish out of the sudden on his jaw and jolts from his deep sleep. He opens his eyes and smiles. His voice tumbles out softly. "Good morning..." Bright startles at that and swiftly removes his hand from the man's face. He closes his eyes, pretending to be asleep. "Khun, you can't pretend to be asleep now. Take responsibility of what you've done," Win chuckles. Bright can feel the vibration of that laughter as his face is pressed on Win's chest.

"What responsibility?" Bright mumbles, tightening his hug on his partner.

"You touched my face while I was sleeping. That's considered cheating, bro," Win replies, intentionally teasing the man by calling him 'bro'.

Bright removes his face from Win's chest and sits up abruptly. "Bro?!" He cries out in surprise, offended at the particular word that Win just called him. The younger man is already laughing uncontrollably at Bright, clutching on his stomach. Bright huffs, pouting afterwards. His effort to court Win all this time has been smashed to the floor into million pieces the moment the man called him that.

"So, you still don't want to stop laughing at me?" Bright smirks as an idea pops into his mind. Win pauses for a second, blinking twice at Bright before shaking his head teasingly. Then, he bursts into another fit of giggles. His eyes are teary from being too happy. The older man is getting impatient as he jumps and hovers over Win with his knee is placed on either side of the man's waist. Bright then grabs Win's hands and pins them over his head on the pillow.

Win stops laughing almost instantly at their current position. His chest is still heaving rapidly from his laughter earlier as he looks into Bright's eyes. The older man is staring straight into his eyes too, as if he has a yearning for something. "Khun, what a-are you trying to do?" Win whispers hesitantly, trying to move his hands. However, due to the tight grip that Bright has on him, he's unable to budge, not even an inch.

"What do you want me to do to you?" Bright asks as he shoots a challenging look at Win. The younger man can't help but chuckle.

"Okay, fine, I surrender-"

"Surrender yourself to me?" The older man's face perks up as he releases Win's hands. The agent makes a disapproval sound at the back of his throat and shoves Bright's face to the side. He then flips their bodies over so that he can be on top instead. Bright is now lying on the bed with Win hovering over him. "You know what, khun, I quite like this position. Your face looks much more beautiful like this," he winks at Win.

The agent shakes his head in disbelief and gets off of his partner to lie down on the mattress next to him. "It's still early in the morning and you're already causing drama," Win mumbles as he grabs a pillow to hold and closes his eyes.
