ROSES : Wen Junhui

5.0

"Hey..." I mumbled as I snuggled closer to you, burrying my face onto your hair.

"Happy anniversary, babe." You greeted to softly.

I raised my head and cupped your face.
"Happy anniversary."

You smiled.

"Come on. I prepared breakfast."
"Really?"
"Yeah... Don't worry it's edible." I joked as I tried to drag you out of bed.

"Come on, Erina..."
"Don't want to." You said, pouting your lips.

I just knew what I had to do.

I went closer to you and lifted you up bridal style. You always liked that...

"Taste it." I said eagerly as I let you sit on the chair

"You really cooked this?"
"Yes. Is it that bad?"
"It's not bad at all! You really made this?"
"Yeah!"

Such memories were made that day. Memories like...

Without saying a word, I walked closer and hugged you from behind while you were washing the dishes.
I placed my hand on your waist and my chin on your shoulder.
I tilted my head so that I was facing your side and I sang to you your favorite song.

"You really do know me, don't you, Jun?" You chuckled.

Still, without saying anything, I turned the faucet off and spun you around to face me.

My hands still on your waist, I leaned closer and kissed you softly. I didn't rush you, just like always.

"Shall we go upstairs?" I asked and you being you, you took it the wrong way and playfully hit me.

"What? It's not what you think!"
"Whatever..."

I took you to our room for the last surprise.

"Close your eyes." I said and you did as you were instructed.

I grabbed the gift from the drawer and held it in my hand.

"You can open your eyes now."

I said and you stood there. Stunned. Happy.

"You really bought the rings?!"
"Of course... Shall we put it on?" I asked and you nodded.

I took your ring and placed it on your finger and you did likewise.

"Thank you, Jun. I--"
"Shhh... Anything for my princess. Oh wait, no. Anything for my queen, who is also my lady, my empress, and my princess."

"I love you, Erina."

As a reply, you placed your arms around my neck and pulled me close.

"I love you too." I managed to say with a smile before kissing you.
