nineteen.

"hey, babe, how was your day?" yixing asked, staring at junmyeon through his computer screen. the elder was wearing one of yixing's hoodies, which he stole, and it drowned him.

"it was alright. missed you," junmyeon smiled, "oh, and i took your candy bar off the menu."

"boo, why?" yixing asked, pouting slightly.

"cause i figured it should be your thing, and your thing only," junmyeon said, shrugging, "oh, and your birthday is two days from now. what do you want?"

"i want nothing, i already have you," yixing replied. junmyeon smiled softly, burying his face into a stuffed animal.

"so like, a watch or something?" junmyeon asked. yixing chuckled.

"don't waste your money on me, bub," yixing smiled, "how're things at the bakery?"

"they're going alright. more people than usual are coming, so that's good," junmyeon smiled, "rent isn't so hard nowadays."

"i'm glad," yixing said, still smiling. junmyeon nodded.

"how was your meeting with jongin?" junmyeon questioned.

"it went pretty well. i'm drafting a contract, and if it all goes well, you're looking at the new founder of zyx entertainment," yixing said. yixing clapped.

"so you both decided on your initials as the name?" junmyeon asked.

"yeah, jongin was okay with it because it sounded cooler than kji," yixing shrugged, "so, things are looking up."

"that's great. proud of you," junmyeon smiled. yixing grinned, dimple poking as his heart filled with warmth.

"thanks, baby, love you," yixing said. junmyeon beamed, saying those three little words back. it was funny how only eight letters could hold so much meaning.

"my little brother liked you," yixing said, smiling, "said he wants to meet you one day."

"that'd be fun," junmyeon nodded in agreement, "i could cook for him. speaking of which, you've eaten already, right?"

"yeah, i did," yixing lied, smiling, "don't worry, bun."

"okay, that's good," junmyeon nodddd, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"are you sleepy?" yixing asked. junmyeon yawned, nodding.

"didn't get much sleep last night," junmyeon smiled softly.

"i'm aware," yixing laughed, "if you're tired i'll hang up and we can talk tomorrow."

"mhmm," junmyeon nodded, already half-asleep, "night night, oppa. love you."

"i love you more, baby. goodnight, i'll see you tomorrow," yixing said softly before hanging up the skype call.

he sank deeper into his bed, millions of thoughts swarming through his head. most of them on junmyeon, some over business plans and a few on his family. he knew his mother read the messages, since the little print at the bottom of the text messages appeared directly after he sent them. he sighed, going to his word documents and pushing all thoughts out of his brain so he could focus on drafting the contract. yixing was a very thorough person, making sure absolutely everything was covered and leaving nothing to question. after spending a few hours on it, he completely rewrote it, making it more official. all in all, the process took around seven hours. it was already dawn by the time he saved it, emailing it to jongin and finally closing his computer shut. he groaned, running a hand through his hair.

yixing was afraid of little, but failing was most certainly one of his biggest phobias.

he trudged out of his bed, changing his clothes before grabbing his cell phone and leaving his house. he hopped on his motorcycle, driving to the starbucks. he walked in not a second late, waving a hello to baekhyun.

"you look like shit," baekhyun commented.

"thanks, baek," yixing replied through a tired yawn.

"late night?" baekhyun asked, "junmyeon?"

"hmm? oh, no, i was taking care of some work things," yixing answered, "hey, i didn't know you knew kim jongin."

"oh yeah, he and i went to the same high school. we weren't very close, but close enough to know each other semi-well," baekhyun shrugged, "why?"

"cause he and i might start a business together," yixing shrugged, "he'll talk to you about it."

"okay. here, eat something. you look like death punched you in the face," baekhyun said, handing him a croissant. yixing thanked him, eating quickly as he set up the cash register.

"oh, so as it turns out, i'm dating junmyeon and we're in love," yixing said. baekhyun squealed.

"i'm ordering the t-shirts!"

"so, any plans for today?" yixing asked junmyeon. the elder shook his head no, sipping on his coffee. yixing was sitting with him at his booth.

"no, i figured i'll just go to yours after i stay at the bakery for a little while. maybe do some bills," junmyeon shrugged, "hey, xing, why do you look so tired?"

"didn't sleep much. was working on some contracts," yixing said truthfully, "i'm alright though, so you can stop looking so worried."

"you should go home and rest," junmyeon said, "you look like you're about to pass out."

"sleep with me?" yixing asked.

"you should rephrase that," junmyeon laughed.

"nap with me?" yixing corrected himself, "then maybe sleep with me after?"

"oh my god," junmyeon said, covering his face, "why are you like this?"

yixing just about knocked out when he reached his bed, junmyeon laughing slightly to himself. he shook his head, taking off his jacket and setting it on the small couch in the corner of the room.

"myeonie come hereeee," yixing whined like a child. junmyeon sighed, crawling onto the bed besides yixing. the larger male immediately pulled the elder close, mumbling to himself about how junmyeon was a tiny boy and tiny boys give nice cuddles.

"aish, xing, i'm not tiny!" junmyeon huffed. yixing laughed drowsily.

"yes you are, my tiny boyfriend," yixing grinned, half out of it as he attacked junmyeon's face with kisses, "oppa's cute little boyfriend."

junmyeon went fifty shades of red, slapping yixing's chest.

"yah, go to sleep," junmyeon scolded, burying his head into the nook of yixing's neck, wrapping his entire body around him like a baby koala. yixing hummed happily, one arm securing junmyeon in his place by wrapping around his waist, other free hand going to rest on junmyeon's bum.

"i love you," yixing spoke sweetly, eyes already closed.

"i love you too, you giant baby, now go to sleep."
