Christmas Eve.

Dome was staring at the gifts under the christmas tree and there were a lot of gifts. Only Dome and his parents were in their house at the moment bacause the servants went back to their own home.

His mother also cooked a lot.

He just sighed and took his seat angrily. He was mad because Pavel actually did not text or called him ever since. He unblocked Pavel since he sent that email.

"Just what the fuck is he even doing" He groaned angrily and hit the pillow with his fist.

The doorbell rang and Dome's father went to get it. His eyes widened when he saw Pavel and his parents. They also had gifts and Pavel was carrying it all.

Pavel was not looking at him and the older male clearly avoids him. Dome licked his lips in annoyance and he went upstairs.

He was so angry with how Pavel was actually doing it. He was staying away from Dome and Dome did not like it.

No even a little bit.

"Dome, its time for dinner." His mother said and Dome headed downstairs.

Pavel was already sitting down and He decided to take the seat across Pavel so he can see the older male's face clearly.

They were eating and Dome would always catch Pavel would stare at him ar times and the latter would look away.

"Have you decided about your wedding date?"

"Why?" Pavel asked.

"Well, Dome still needs three more years to finish med. You'll finish engineering next semester. What are your plans."

Dome turned to look  at Pavel who was looking directly to his parents. He was not sparing Dome his attention..

"So how are you and Dome doing? Its been months since you two lived together. I assure you what you have now is like a practice to the married life." Dome's mother asked.

They were talking about random stuffs and then Pavel sighed loudly. Dome was drinking his water when Pavel spoke.

"Its not working at all. Can we just cancel the whole arrangement?" Pavel  said and they heard a loud crash.

The glass slipped from Dome's hand and he was frozen on his seat. He felt the weight of the sky fell down on him and his heart felt like it was being crushed.

"D-Do you really want to cancel this?" Dome asked and Pavel refused to look at him.

"My patience is wearing thin. Look at me in the eyes and say it to my face." Dome said and Pavel shook his head.

"I am counting from one to five. I'll stab you with this damn knife if you won't be honest." Dome threatened and Pavel finally faced him.

"One..."

"I dont want to cancel this because I really like you but you keep on doing this to me. You keep on saying mean stuffs to me and it hurts because I really like you a lot!" Pavel explodes and stood up from his seat and so did Pavel.

"You wanna fight?" Dome challenged and their parents tried to calm them down but Pavel and Dome won't listen.

"We'll be fine. We'll just blow off some steam and let go of these grudges we keep on holding." Dome said.

"I don't want to fight you. I don't practice domestic violence-"

"This is the only way I want us to settle down! Hit me and show me how hurt you are because of me!" Dome said and Pavel shook his head.
