**START**

It was only 6:30 in the morning, and Ken was preparing himself to go out.

Pero bago pa man siya tuluyang makapagbihis, he went to the kitchen to check if everything was in place and ready so when Justin woke up, kakain nalang ito ng breakfast.

"Hmm, spam, yes. Welldone egg, yes. Toast, check." he smiled sweetly. But then his gaze went to the sauce pan. "Ay, oo nga pala, yung hot chocolate."

He went over to the kitchen range and carefully picked up the sauce pan at isinalin ang laman nito to a large, green ceramic mug para iinitin nalang iyon ni Justin pag gising niya.

He looked around the kitchen once more, and when he was satisfied, he went to the bedroom of his unit where Justin was sleeping. He carefully covers his upper body with a blanket, making sure not to wake him up. Then he kissed him in his temple and in his cheeks.

Ken was sitting on the couch, isinusuot na nito ang sapatos, when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"Ga? Aga mo, san ka punta?" Justin asked, pupungas-pungas habang humihikab.

Ken smiled at the sight; he really loves seeing Justin's bare face in the morning. The messy hair, the half-opened chinito eyes, his wrinkled shirt—he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

He stopped what he's doing and stared at Justin. "Gym 'ga, mag work out lang ako saglit," he answered.

Justin pouted, "Iwan mo 'ko?"

Ken felt like his heart was melting with his pout and his voice, si Justin na talaga ang kahinaan niya. Justin used to say that he was his Superman, and Ken would always think that if he was Superman, then probably Justin was his kryptonite.

"Gusto mo sumama?" he gently asked.

"Ayaw ko sa gym pero gusto kita kasama." lambing niya.

For the past few weeks, they've been both busy with their solo careers, and wala na sila gaanong time to spend with each other. Kaya naman Ken understands that Justin needs lambing, and he would gladly oblige. He needs lambing as well; he needs their "Langga time" too.

"Mapapagod ka 'ga pag sinabayan mo 'ko mag work out," he reminded him.

Justin pouted again. "Okay, dito nalang ako. Iwan mo na ako mag-isa, kaya ko na sarili ko. I'll make lambing by myself nalang, mag pe-paint nalang ako ng mga sad sceneries," he said.

Natawa naman ng malakas si Ken na lalong ikinahaba ng nguso ni Justin, then he walked his way to him, took the pillow he was hugging, and threw it on the couch.

"Ako dapat niyayakap mo 'ga, hindi yang bolster. Magseselos na ako dito unan na 'to," he said softly and gave Justin a tight embrace.

A few moments later, bumaba ang mga braso ni Ken into Justin's waist.

"Sama ka sakin' ga, pero I want you to eat your breakfast muna, nagluto ako for you." he said. Their faces were only a few inches from each other.

Justin gave him a peck on the lips and then covered his mouth. "Baho pa ako, di pa ako nag toothbrush." natatawang sabi nito.
