We are: Breaking point (Tan x Fang)

Chapter 1

Fang woke up. He instinctively patted the spot next to him on the bed, hoping to cuddle a little before getting out of bed. Surprisingly, he noticed that he was alone. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up on the edge of the bed. Then he walked to the kitchen, where he found the table all set for breakfast. Tan was cooking, and as soon as he heard his fiancé's footsteps, he turned to him and smiled brightly.

"Good morning, doctor! Take a shower, everything will be ready by the time you're done" Tan said softly, he came closer to his boyfriend and kissed his cheek. Fang was still a little confused, but since he was still too sleepy to start a coherent conversation, he went to the bathroom and took a shower just as his boyfriend asked him to do.

"Enjoy" Tan said as he placed the dish in front of Fang as he came back. Fang looked at the dish and then back at Tan, something that the latter interpreted as if he didn't like what he had to eat for breakfast.

"I thought it was your favorite dish. You always order it when we go out" Tan asked disappointed and with a hint of sadness in his tone. Fang shook his head and replied:

"It is, but it takes so long to prepare it, you didn't have to wake up earlier to cook it... you're the best" Fang responded and hugged him tight.

"I know, but I wanted to make your first day at work feel special. Let's eat now" Tan added smiling and started eating. When they were done with breakfast, Fang took the dishes and walked to the sink. Tan tried to stop him but his fiancé remained resolute and started washing them.

"I could do the dishes, it wasn't a great deal..." Tan remarked pouting. Fang chuckled.

"You cooked, I clean... I hope you won't feel too lonely when I'm out. Remember to send your CV"

Tan felt strange at the thought of staying alone at home. It wasn't something he wasn't used to, but since he moved in with Fang, everything in the house made him think about him. It was like there was nothing in that small apartment that belonged to only one of them: they chose and bought everything together, and even their clothes became of each other's property, as they always stole something from one another to tease the other.

"Tan? Tan, are you listening?"

"Huh? Oh yes, sorry... yeah, I can handle it. I will manage to keep myself busy. I also found someone in need for private lessons, it isn't a lot but at least I can earn something until I get a job, right?" Tan replied.

Eventually it was time for Fang to leave for his first day at the hospital. He kissed Tan on his forehead and went away. Tan stood by the door and saw the sun of his life hide behind the clouds as Fang closed the door.
