"Hyunwoo I don't wanna cook tonight." Kihyun whined as he stretched and looked up at Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo was laying on the couch with Kihyun next to him, his head resting on Hyunwoo's chest.

"Hmmm. Then don't. We can order chicken or something." Hyunwoo raked his fingers through Kihyun's bright red locks, smiling at the ticklish feeling against his fingers.

"Mmm okay, we haven't eaten entirely healthy all day so having an unhealthy dinner won't matter much." Kihyun traced circles on the back of Hyunwoo's free hand.

"I'll go order some chicken or something. Be right back." Hyunwoo sat up carefully, Kihyun moving off of him so he could go order their dinner.

Kihyun checked his phone to see that he had received texts from Hoseok and decided to check them.

Hoseok: Hey Kihyunnie! Hyungwon says hi too hehe

Kihyun: Hi Hyung!! Hi Hyungwon :P What are you up to?

Hoseok: Hyungwonnie and I are just chilling and watching movies. HBU?

Kihyun: Hyunwoo and I were just doing that haha he's ordering chicken for our dinner now :D

Hoseok: cute ^_^ have fun Kihyunnie! Thought I'd just check how you're doing! Have a good night! Talk to you later :)

Kihyun: thank you :D seeya later Hyung!! Have fun too :)

Kihyun put his phone back down on the coffee table just in time for Hyunwoo to come back and sit next to him. Kihyun leaned his head on Hyunwoo's shoulder and sighed.

"What's wrong Kihyunnie?" Hyunwoo wrapped his arm around Kihyun's shoulders and rubbed his arm.

"Nothing I'm just.....everything is slowly falling into place and I'm just so so happy Hyunwoo."

"I'm glad. I'm happy too, we're going to become a family and raise our own kids!" Hyunwoo began to lay down and pulled Kihyun to lie down with him. They stayed like that watching whatever was on tv until the doorbell rang and Hyunwoo got up to collect their dinner.

Hyunwoo came back with a bag filled with boxes of chicken. Kihyun smiled brightly at his boyfriend and stood up excitedly, helping his boyfriend set out the food. Kihyun loved chicken, not as much as Hyunwoo, but it was high up on his list. When they set out the food they ate together, sometimes feeding the other despite how cringe and cliche it was. Hyunwoo even removed the bones from a few pieces for Kihyun.

After an hour of eating and chatting, Hyunwoo and Kihyun cleaned up and had showers. Then they got into bed and lay there together in silence, enjoying the presence of each other.

"Kihyunnie?" Hyunwoo turned to face the younger, his red bangs were covering his eyes so he gently shoved them behind his ears.

"Yeah?" Kihyun stared at Hyunwoo with half-lidded eyes. He was just dozing off when Hyunwoo suddenly woke him but he didn't mind.

"I think I'll apply for jobs around town that aren't volunteer jobs. I want to help this family as much as I can." Hyunwoo rubbed his thumb over Kihyun's cheeks, just under his eyes.

Kihyun smiled and moved closer to Hyunwoo to put their foreheads together. "You know I don't mind if you do volunteer work."

"Yes, but with a growing family there'll be more mouths to feed, more necessities to buy. I can't have you go to work and earn all that money just to go spend it on necessities, food and bills. I will help this family too, I will help pay bills, I will help buy food. I've felt so bad about this even before we decided to adopt. You've always paid for just about everything and it hurts. I- I need to start being more responsible and independent." Hyunwoo cast his eyes downwards looking away from Kihyun, tears stinging his eyes. He wasn't going to break down in front of Kihyun. Not now not ever, he couldn't...

"Hyunwoo please don't feel that way. You've tried to get a job before and I appreciate that. Please it's okay. Just....I love you no matter what happens, and we'll find a way to pay for everything, we'll find a way to get through everything even when it gets hard. That's what we do. We stick by each other through thick and thin just like we have for these last five years." Kihyun lifted Hyunwoo's chin up gently so that Hyunwoo was looking at him again.

"K-Kihyunnie I-" Hyunwoo couldn't finish his sentence, those damn tears fell from his eyes and he began to sob.

"Oh no baby please don't cry, please don't." Kihyun sat up, dragging Hyunwoo up with him and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Kihyun I'm so useless, I've done nothing to help you. Sure I've bought a few meals but that's always been as much as I can afford. You pay the rent, the bills, buy food. What do I do? Nothing! That's what!" Hyunwoo barely managed to get his words out without choking on his tears. His body shook in Kihyun's grasp as his sobbing became louder and harsher.

"Hyunwoo don't you dare say that ever again." Kihyun pulled away from Hyunwoo and cupped his cheeks, staring into his dark brown eyes. "I will love you forever and ever, regardless if you pay for bills or not. Please don't blame yourself for this, shit things like this happen but like I said before, we will make it through this, I promise you Son Hyunwoo. We will make it through this together." Kihyun couldn't keep his tears in either, he let them all as he finished his last sentence and went back to wrapping his arms around Hyunwoo's neck.

Hyunwoo wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun's back and held him tightly and close. "I-I don't d-deserve you. I l-love you so much Kihyunnie." Hyunwoo began to hiccup as a result of his harsh sobbing.

Kihyun rubbed the back of his head as an attempt to calm him down which worked. "I love you so much too Hyunwoo. SO much. Now, look at me." Kihyun pulled away and cupped Hyunwoo's cheeks again, staring into his eyes before placing a deep kiss on Hyunwoo's lips.

Hyunwoo kissed back, rubbing circles onto Kihyun's back. They pulled away and just stared at each other for a few long seconds. Hyunwoo finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"Thank you. Thank you for loving me, caring for me, being there for me, having me live with you even if I don't pay the bills. I love you endlessly and always will, Yoo Kihyun. I love you." Hyunwoo put their foreheads together and held Kihyun's hands in his, placing light kisses on his knuckles.

"I love you too Son Hyunwoo. Always have, always will. Now, let's go to sleep, we have to go shopping tomorrow remember?" Kihyun kissed Hyunwoo's forehead and laid down.

Hyunwoo followed and rolled Kihyun over so he was spooning the younger from behind. "Of course I do. Goodnight baby." With a final kiss to Kihyun's cheek, Hyunwoo laid down fully and closed his eyes.

Kihyun grasped Hyunwoo's arm that was draped over his waist and intertwined their fingers. "Goodnight babe."

The two men fell asleep together, their love and bond even stronger than it had ever been before.
