Complete (Off/Gun)

Gun sank into the sofa, sighing deeply. The hot tea pleasantly warmed his cold hands as he held it. The rain outside hit the window, creating a calming melody. The mattress moved when his roommate joined him. Gun's eyes travelled at the tall male, taking in his carefree appearance. The cheerful smile on his face annoyed and attracted him simultaneously. 

"I assume the date didn't go well." The man said and offered Gun the chocolate bar he brought with him. Gun was contemplating to take it, but he decided against it. There was no need to stuff himself with sugar after another failed blind date. It wasn't the first time this month. It appeared his attempt to get over his unrequited love for his handsome roommate by going on blind dates wasn't meant to succeed. 

"What number was this man this month? Six? Five?" Off unpacked the chocolate, breaking one square, and putting it into his mouth. Gun watched as his mouth moved to melt the sweet treat, imagining no innocent things Off's lips could do to him. 

"What was his name, Tron?" Off asked, turning towards him.

"Tor, Papii. His name is Tor. And he was fourth." Gun corrected the older man. Off nodded before leaning back with his gaze fixed on Gun. 

"So we have Lee, Mond, Oab and Tor. Nice. Who will be next?" Off joked. Gun rolled his eyes, honestly questioning his taste in man. How could he fall in love with such an annoying prick? 

"Guess you will have to wait." Gun pouted, averting his eyes from his roommate. 

"Come on, Gun. Tell me, why are you suddenly so interested in dating?" Off poked his side. Gun scooted further from him, irritated. Off, shuffled closer, tugging at his arm. The tea in Gun's hand almost spilt over, making him flinch. 

"P'Off!" He squeaked angrily. 

"P'Off?" The tall male looked at him, shocked.  

"Yes, P'Off. You won't understand, anyway." Gun scoffed. 

"Then explain it to me." Off insisted. Gun closed his eyes for a moment, taking in a deep breath. 

"I just want to be complete. To love and be loved back." He whispered, not looking at the older. 

"And you think you would get that at the blind date?" Off sneered.

"Why not?" Gun shot back. He was tired of this argument. "I am not allowed to be happy?" He added. 

"It's not that." Off sighed. Gun raised his eyebrow, waiting for Off to continue. 

"Why don't you look around yourself? Maybe you will find someone loving you from the bottom of his heart?" 

Gun tilted his head to the side, confused. He didn't think anyone close to him had feelings for him. 

"And that would be?" He asked. Off hesitated before he reached for Gun's cup, taking it from his hands and putting it on the table beside the chocolate bar. Gun observed his moves, perplexed. 

"Me, Gun. It's me." Off declared, pulling him to his chest. Gun could feel his heart beat wildly in his ribcage.

" I love you." Off whispered into his ear, and Gun's world stopped.
