It was a regular evening, as far as Hosuh was concerned. Stephen had managed to make dinner without burning the kitchen down, (mind you, Hosuh didn't know about it)
Hosuh was pretty proud of him for that.
The two had gone up to their shared bedroom, Stephen's arm wrapped around Hosuh's waist as they climbed the stairs.
Like typical Stephen, they ended up on the bed watching cute animal videos together.
They fall asleep like that, Stephen holding onto Hosuh for dear life, phone left forgotten between the sheets.
Until the time approaches around one am. Stephen is woken up by Hosuh's quiet sniffling.
"Hosuh? Are you alright?"
"Y-yeah, don't worry about me," he whimpers, flinching when Stephen tries touching him.
"Bad dream?"
"I guess so," tears continue falling.
"Aww, love, you know you can just tell me that, right? Come here, sugar," Stephen whispers, arms outstretched, ready to receive Hosuh.
And they do.
Hosuh buries his face into Stephen's neck, just breathing him in, the sweet geranium and peach helping him to relax. Taking a moment to calm down.
"Why do you stay?" Hosuh asks when he's calmed down enough to be able to talk.
Stephen's quiet for a moment before he replies: "Because I love all of you, especially now." tangling his fingers in Hosuh's silver.
Hosuh gasps in surprise, before blushing, hesitantly placing his arm around Stephen.
"You're special to me, I don't wanna lose you."
"If I had a thousand wishes, I would wish for you, you and you."
"Nooo, stop I'm blushing harder now, darn you." Hosuh says, pouting while the blush is still there.
"Can I tell you something?"
"Hm?"
"It's my dream."
"Sure, baby. Thank you for trusting me with such a personal thing though."
"I dreamt that you threatened to leave me."
"I'll never leave you. You're something special, not like everyone else."
"i know now. Thank you for choosing to stay." Hosuh says, smiling.
"Remember I love you. A lot, okay? Out of everyone, only you. " Stephen idly mumbles, hugging Hosuh tighter.
"Love you so much."
"I love you more."
"Whatever. Good night."
Hosuh's already asleep, with a small smile decorating his features.
Stephen takes a minute to press him to his chest, the sweet geranium and peach notes infiltrating Hosuh's nose before he, too, falls asleep.
