Under a Million Stars

Chapter Twenty-seven

Gun reached out to the space beside him, only to find it empty.

He was still sleepy so instead of getting up, he just grabbed the nearby pillow and went back to sleep.

Since it was a Sunday, he could lie down in bed as much as he wanted.

Last night was pure heaven as he and Off spent the night in each other's arms, talking and reminiscing about their past, with Off casually inserting their future. And he couldn't help but picture out what it would be like spending a lifetime with him.

He hugged the pillow tighter and smelled Off's scent on it.

"Hey, it's time for breakfast."

Gun giggled as Off whispered and kissed his cheeks.

"Hmmmm. I'm still sleepy," he grunted and looked at Off who was smiling at him.

He still wanted to sleep more but the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee woke his senses.

He sat up and watched as Off placed a small table on the bed. On top of it were sunny side up eggs, bacon, fried rice, hotdogs and of course, coffee.

He grabbed the cup of coffee and took a sip.

"Hmmmm. This tastes good."

"But not as good as me."

"Tsss," he chuckled as he started eating.

He was about to put a spoonful of rice in his mouth when he noticed Off staring at him.

"Wh-what?"

"I still can't believe I'm spending mornings with you again."

"It's too early to be cheesy. It doesn't suit you," he replied and shove the spoon in Off's mouth.

"I love you jaa."

Gun chuckled and just continued eating while Off was looking, no scratch that. Off was ogling at him.

"You've been saying that since last night. I lost count already."

"That is to make up for all the I love you's I would have said to you for the last five years."

"Tss. Yeah, I love you, too."

A long stretch of silence filled the air as they continued eating with Off casually feeding him.

"Don't you wanna know where I was these past years?" he broke the silence and stared at Off.

"Nah. What matters most is that you're here already and this time, I'm not letting you go anywhere without me."

Gun smirked as Off scooted closer to him while they were watching a movie in the living room.

Off grabbed his hand and intertwined it with his.

"Yah, are you planning to break my fingers?" he complained as Off was holding his hand tightly.

But Off just smiled at him, even tightening his grasp.

"Tss. I'm not going anywhere."

Off pouted his lips, obviously asking for a kiss.

"My jaw hurts," he chuckled as he gave the lamest excuse he could ever think of.

"Come on, just stay still. I'll do all the work," Off replied and inched his lips closer to him.

"Tsss. You just wouldn't stop, huh," he snorted and placed a smack on Off's lips.

Well, it was supposed to be just a peck but Off being Off, everything just went out of his control. He just found himself straddling him on the sofa.
