Next morning came as Gemini tightened the tie he had put on for office. He takes a final glance at himself in the full-length mirror, adjusting any crease on his white shirt.
He hadn't figured out how to approach Fourth yet. Judging by the shuffling heard outside the room, he knows the younger is preparing to leave for classes right now.
Gemini takes this opportunity to exit his bedroom. He finds Fourth in the living room with one hand against the wall while the other is busy fixing his shoe. He hasn't noticed the elder yet, giving Gemini the time to clear his throat hesitantly.
Can I drive you to uni?
Doesn't that sound too pathetic?
Let me drive you to uni.
No. Too assertive. The younger will probably feel pressured.
May I drive you to uni?
Is he a butler at a 5 star hotel or what? Too formal!
Do you want a ride?
Gemini clicks his tongue disapprovingly. None of them sounded right when he voiced them out in his head. He felt a sense of panic rushing through him as he stood there frozen.
I'll just say whatever my mouth wants, the boy nodded at that.
With a determined look on his face, he lifted his head up to confront his husband,
Only to realize Fourth wasn't there anymore.
"Huh?" Gemini ponders out loud, surprised. He sprinted towards the door, twisting the knob and stuck his head out.
Gone. His husband was nowhere in sight. Seems like Fourth was too distracted to acknowledge him and had quietly walked out while Gemini was collectively losing his mind.
"Shit," he curses out.
His shoulders slump down as a frown adorned his lips. He missed his only chance to see Fourth today before work. And he doubts they'll even get to meet eyes when Fourth returned home.
Dragging out a sigh, Gemini shuts the door back. He takes a few slow steps towards the dining table before plopping down on a chair. Before him was left an empty bowl and a spoon next to some cereal, possibly what Fourth had for breakfast.
They've yet to have a proper home cooked meal since they got married. It's not like he can't cook. He just doesn't attain the energy to do so. It seems like Fourth is on the same page as well.
As he blankly stares at the bowl with disinterest, a sudden idea invades his head. He perks up, gaining inspiration to continue with his mission for the day.
With a wide smile tugging on his lips, Gemini quickly shot up from his seat. He makes a grab for the suit and bag hung on the chair beside him before dashing for the main door in a hurry.
