Domestic

The soft sound which usually will not wake him up did. He turned onto his back, groaning softly at the twinge on his lower back. An arm flung out to the right, reaching out for him but was met with cooling sheets. Reluctantly he turn his head and he cracked open one eyelid, and then another, confirming the fact that the older is not in bed.

Fingers grabbed the previously slept in pillow-still indented with the shape of that precious head, hauling it close to his chest before he sniffed in the scent that is uniquely the older. He could feel the telltale stirrings at the familiar smell as memories of the night before came trickling in.

A chuckle permeated his senses. He whirled around, cursing when his back reminded him why he shouldn't have done that. Singto stood at the corner, his phone in hand angled towards him. The previous sound that woke him was the older snapping a picture of him.

"Sing..."

The older sat at the corner of the bed, hands on either side of his head as he looked up. It's ridiculous why his heart will still start beating erratically after all this time. Seven years of knowing each other, five of them was spent in a relationship together and definitely it is not in a platonic one. But after all these time, his heart still decide to do funny acrobatics when he is the sole attention of the other.

"Go back to sleep, it's too early"

A glance at the side clock confirmed the fact and reminded him that Singto is returning to school today. He leaned forward and peck the other quickly on the lips, wanting to spare him the morning breath. Before the other could deepen it, he slip away, ignoring the hungry stare as he bent to pull on loose sweats.

Padding quickly to the kitchen in their home, he started the kettle and popped in the bread into the toast maker.

"Kit, I can grab something from school...or maybe not"

Singto obediently sat down on the stool overlooking the kitchen island as Krist pulled out the thermos bottle from depths of the cabinet and fixings of a ham and cheese sandwich from the fridge. In less than ten minutes, smell of coffee and toast mingled in perfect harmony.

He passed Singto the now full thermos bottle and the wrapped ham and cheese sandwich which the older accepted with a beaming smile. He cleaned up as Singto packed them into his bag-he will have it in the car on the way to school.

Something caught his eye as he slide up next to Singto. Before the older could ask, he pressed cool slightly damp fingers onto the other's jaw. Puzzled eyes turned to exasperation when his fingers start pressing on a pimple that had just formed.

"Kit...."
"No... I almost have it!"

Singto pulled away while he whined and tugged his head right back. Singto just huffed, half smiling as he stared at Krist's face furrowed in concentration as Singto waited for the younger to be done, knowing the other will be too distracted through out the day pondering about the stupid pimple.

Singto's phone beeped, reminding them that his car ride is here. He walked with the older to the door before doubling back to the bedroom and running back to the confused older man.

"Wrist!"

Singto obediently listened while Krist ran the white thread across his wrist a few times-wishing him a peaceful semester in school, for him to be healthy and happy and for him to do well-before tying it across his wrist. The older grinned at the younger who looked a little sheepish. When Singto thought that he couldn't fall any further for this man, Krist just have to prove him wrong.

"Go, you'll be late!"

The door closed behind Singto as he was locked out of their home. He laughed to himself as he jogged to the waiting car.

Krist reached out for his phone at the beep, "Shit..." and threw it away shortly after, not wishing to reply it.

"Thank you, wife"

A/N : Singto is back to school today! Foresee our baby lion to start posting/complaining regularly about assignments 😁

Also in case you don't know already, I am working on a side (turning out to become a main!) project with TheWildOne01 that I am pretty proud of. It is something that's pretty different from my usual stories so do encourage you to check it out - The Drummer's Keeper : https://my.w.tt/qZfrwgSqsT
