CH 13: 1st Time At The In-Laws'

In the two months of being married, today was the first time Gulf was coming back here. It was his husband's first time in this mansion, he knew that the family is welcoming but he was still nervous.

Mew was mesmerized at how the whole place looked like a garden itself. Mew had always been a lover of greenery, the only reason the Jogcheveevat's had the plants and small gardens around the modern looking house. It was all for their second prince. Mew could spot a large swimming pool through the glass wall that let the sunlight light the living room.

Another thing Mew liked was to swim, he found it calming and would often fall asleep when he was swimming like an otter. The cause of there being no swimming pool at his place. His parents were too afraid of him sinking when nobody was around. He was already in love with this place.

When they had entered through the door, Mew saw the family photo. His wife was actually a very cute and childish person, but that painting showed a different side of him. Gulf's face in the painting was so intimidating even though he was smiling. Mew could not stop himself from chuckling when he compare the Gulf in the painting with the one beside him.

Tay was the first one to notice their arrival, so he asked the two to come sit with him by the pool. "Daddy, where's papa?" Gulf asked as he swept his eyes around not seeing his papa anywhere. Sad. Tay smiled and told his son that his papa was in the kitchen, preparing a feast for them. Gulf left his dad and husband alone to run to the kitchen to surprise his papa.

Now the father-in-law and the son-in-law were left alone to have a serious talk.

"I hope my son isn't mischievous."

"Not at all daddy Tay"

"Good to hear that. What have you two been doing nowadays?"

"University, dinner, sleep, repeat."

"You two really don't get time do you"

"The time is enough to complete all the assignments. I think it is all well managed."

"You sure are a fool, just like your parents describe" Tay laughed at the innocence of these kids. Baifern came down soon after, in her pyjamas.

"A young lady should not be dressed like that in front of others" Tay thought of teaching his daughter a value but his son-in-law filed him; he said "I have seen P'Baifern's crazier sides, this one is the most sober and innocent out of them all". Baifern smacked him in the head. "Being violent again, princess?" New walked to them, Gulf all over him. "You two were so late that it's already dinner time." New said, glaring at Mew.

"So, how have you two been getting along?" New expected an answer as soon as possible. He was already having serious discussion with Gun about the names of their grandchildren. Mew simply replied, "Nothing much, just the normal things." "Normal, you say..." New was trying to analyse if there was a hidden meaning behind those simple words but before he could come to a conclusion his husband laughed attracting his attention. "New, there's time to all that. These two are innocent minded, don't rush them for your fetish for babies" Tay's words finally made the two being talked about to realize what their parents had been expecting of them. "Pa!!! you're being too much!" Gulf told his papa, blushing out of embarrassment.

Mew was enjoying his time at with his wife's family. Around the time for bed, Gulf took Mew to his room.

Gulf's room was huge but not very spacious. It was painted in shades of blue and green, geometric patterns covered the walls. There was no TV set but two walls of the room completely dedicated for bookshelves. The books ranged from fairy tale collections, comics, novels, biographies to encyclopedias and course books. There were also some old record tapes stacked in a very orderly manner nearing the ending of the two wall long bookshelf. The third wall was made of glass, it led to the balcony of Gulf's room. In front of glass wall at a distance of one and a half metres stood the bed. The quilts over the bed were deep blue, made of silk. The fourth wall had a study table and a door leading to the wardrobe following the bathroom. Gulf's room had cute plushies spread all around his room, that kind of killed the vibe of the room. But it was still very beautiful.

Mew stood at the entrance door, amazed at how his wife could turn any place cute. He was zoning out at his thoughts.

"Don't like my room?" Gulf's voice sounded a little low, he thought that Mew was not happy at look of his room. Mew was startled by the sudden words, he shook his head in a 'no' as soon as he interpreted his wife's words. "Who said I don't like your room?" Mew tried to reason with his wife. He continued when he didn't get any response, "It's really pretty and cute, just like you". Gulf looked up at his husband, to confirm the words had come from his mouth itself or not. "Y-you think I'm... cute?" Gulf was blushing at how confidently his husband smiled at him. "Sure do" Mew confirmed his words and ruffled Gulf's hair.

Baifern was spying on them secretly from behind a pillar. She was really happy her brother found such a nice husband. He treated her brother respectfully, unlike that person.

***GULF'S ROOM***

Mew was done showering and was sitting on the bed, talking to Kao over the call about some assignment. Gulf entered the room after he was done showering too. Gulf's hair were still wet and Mew noticed it once he was sitting on the bed not very far from him.

"You should dry your hair before going to bed" Mew reminded his wife. "I know. But, Khun Phi~ I'm really sleepy and my hands don't raise higher than my shoulders" Gulf lazily whined. Mew giggled at his wife's dumb excuse and asked him to sit up straight so that he would dry his hair for him. Gulf obeyed since he had no other choice. They kept talking about all sorts of stuff until Gulf's hair were dry.

"Thank you Khun Phi" Gulf beamed a smile at his husband. "You don't have to be" Mew said. "Now, get on bed. Let's sleep" Mew kindly ordered his wife who was about to fall asleep on the floor itself.

Mew held Gulf close to himself as they lay side by side. Gulf was secretly blushing, looking at his husband's face admiring it as he had his eyes close. Then Mew suddenly opened his eyes.

"I forgot something"

"What?"

Mew pecked his wife on his lips and brought him closer. His grip was tighter. Gulf had no other choice but to bury his face in Mew's chest to hide his blush from his eyes.

"Good night" Mew whispered gently in his flustered wife's ears before kissing his forehead and finally falling asleep.

"I think my son will be giving me grandchildren for my birthday next year" New cooed, standing by Gulf's room's door. Tay swept his hand across his wife's waist and told him to be quieter or the two would hear them. "If I have a niece, I'll name her... Thanya or Nira, even Fon sounds nice" Baifern already had thought of the kid's name.

"What if you have a nephew?" New was not a single step behind in naming the future kids. "Thorn sounds handsome, Tharn could be it too. What about Win?" Baifern was determined. "To name it, let the child happen first, you two are way too hushed up." Tay tried to calm his wife and daughter down, but they weren't paying attention to his words.
