Aouboom/Tanfang (Short stories)

Birthday Special (Tanfang)

The morning was filled with small sounds of sizzling bacon and eggs in the frying pan. The kitchen platform was a mess with several ingredients spread across it, Fang was standing midst the chaotic state of the kitchen flipping the egg, sunny side up, Tan's favourite.He hummed some songs which Tan used to play during their free time.

A small smile made its way to his face when he thought about Tan, his dork pup.Since day one of their relationship, Tan never failed to show Fang how much he cherished him and loved him even when he was not his best self.

Today is his birthday and Fang planned everything A-Z. He will make this birthday the most memorable of all. He flipped the egg for the last time and removed it from the pan. Putting the plate in the tray carefully he wiped his hands removing the excess flour before removing his "Kiss the chef" apron which was a birthday present from Tan.

He washed his hands under the kitchen tap and wiped them before picking up the tray. He tiptoed slowly, swiftly in their bedroom, he suppressed his laugh upon seeing Tan sleeping in one of those funny positions again. Placing the tray on the night table he cautiously hovered Tan, making sure not to put his weight on him.

His eyes filled with endearment at the most beautiful sight of his boyfriend peacefully sleeping with his face relaxed and lips apart a little in the most awkward position possible. A chuckle escaped his lips before he lowered his face to his face and rubbed his nose on Tan's cheeks to which he hummed a little.Fang felt an overwhelming wave of affection wash over him

"Tan, wake up love." Fang softly called him in a small voice with his lips above the ear but Tan still slept soundly. Fang's lips curved into a mischievous grin, he brought his hand up to cup his face and kissed him hard on the right cheek followed by the left cheek, moving to his forehead and nose bridge. He felt Tan stir in his sleep beneath him but that didn't stop him from his path of kissing him. He continued kissing him in the same pattern until Tan woke up.

Tan blinked slowly, his eyes fluttering open to find Fang's face just inches from his, a playful smile lighting up Fang's features. "What are you doing?" Tan mumbled, still half-asleep and slightly dazed.

"Waking you up with kisses, obviously," Fang replied, his tone teasing as he peppered Tan's face with more soft kisses, moving from one cheek to the other, then back to his forehead.

Tan cracked a smile and opened his eyes fully.He placed his hands on Fang's shoulder and pulled him down,capturing his lips in a soft kiss, deepening it for just a moment before pulling back, both of them smiling.

"Wake up sleepyhead. The breakfast is getting cold." Fang pecked his lips before pulling himself up to sit on the bed.

Tan frowned, a mixture of confusion and curiosity on his face. He sniffed the air and sat on the bed, turning to the source of the aroma of the delicious food. The tray was filled with pancakes, bacon and eggs -sunny side up- just how he likes them. His eyes beamed with happiness and jaw dropped at the sight of the pretty plating.

He squeaked loudly before turning to face Fang. "You made all of this?? When did you learn it? And when did you wake up to make all of this?" As Tan bombarded him with questions Fang simply looked at him with his eyes adoring the simplicity of his boyfriend. He loves it when Tan can be happy and surprised by anything he does for him.

"Mmhmm, It is delicious teerak, I can't believe that you made this for me. I am the luckiest guy alive right now." Fang loves it, Love all the compliments Tan gives him, Love how all his small gestures have a meaningful pact on his boyfriend. He watched Tan being giggly and dancing with his hands swinging the food, a way he often expresses his happiness.
