A Second Chance

Chapter 10

Baekhyun slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times before they had fully adjusted. A smile instantly grew on his face as he rubbed his cheek on Sehun's chest, which was still slowly inflating with a breath of air in his sleep. Baekhyun bit his lip as he sat up a little, staring affectionally at Sehun's sleeping face.

Baekhyun had never been so happy, he just wanted to scream. He thanked Tao a thousand times in his mind, feeling extremely blessed to be given this opportunity. Baekhyun threw himself back down and planted a giddy kiss on Sehun's lips.

Baekhyun felt Sehun's lips curl into a smile as Baekhyun stayed glued to his mouth. Sehun's hands traveled up Baekhyun's back to caress him.

"Good morning." Sehun attempted to speak in an amused tone as Baekhyun kept their lips smashed together.

Baekhyun finally pulled away and laughed brightly as he gave Sehun a big smile, "Good morning!"

Sehun paused, staring at Baekhyun's happy face. He held his breath, Baekhyun had never looked so young to Sehun before. It wasn't just his smile, it was the sparkle in his eyes and the glow on his cheeks. It had finally returned to Baekhyun, the expression he had lost so long ago.

Baekhyun hopped out of bed and went to grab his underwear. Sehun blushed as he watched him get dressed.

"I'll go make us some breakfast."

Sehun smiled, "Thanks."

"Of course. Anything you want?" Baekhyun asked as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"I'm fine with anything."

Baekhyun stood up and made his way over to the door, he turned to look at Sehun with a smile, "Ok, come down when you're ready."

Sehun listened to Baekhyun's feet as they scampered down the stairs. He was left alone, sitting naked in Baekhyun's bed, with evidence of the previous night scattered all around him. He nervously got up and went into the bathroom.

After washing off a little bit, Sehun stared into the mirror. He took a deep breath, feeling a little overwhelmed. He had made it this far, but he wondered how often Baekhyun was going to want that from him. He wasn't sure if he would be able to handle it again for a good while. He splashed some water on his face before going back into the bedroom.

Sehun grabbed his clothes and started to put them back on. After he was dressed he began cleaning everything up, putting the lube away into Baekhyun's nightstand and picking up the stray condom. He collected the dirty sheets and made his way into the laundry room with them, placing them down on top of the machines.

Sehun went downstairs and discovered the wonderful aroma of eggs and other food cooking. He entered the kitchen and watched as Baekhyun prepared their breakfast. Baekhyun looked so peppy, bouncing around the kitchen making multiple things at once with a large smile on his face.

Sehun left the kitchen, feeling like he would only get in Baekhyun's way, and went to sit at the table. He sat motionlessly, staring blankly down at the table. It felt like so long, waiting for Baekhyun to come out. He just wanted to hold him.

Baekhyun eventually appeared, carrying a tray of food and drinks. He smiled once he spotted Sehun sitting at the table waiting for him. Sehun really couldn't get over that look on his face, it made him feel so warm. He smiled back at Baekhyun and anxiously waited for him to get close enough to touch him.

Baekhyun placed the tray on the table and started divvying up their food. Once he was finished he sat down across from Sehun. Sehun sighed quietly in disappointment, Baekhyun was still out of his reach.
