Corpse X Sykkuno || Always Be With Me

Birthday Present

7th August, Friday.
12pm

The vibration of a phone shook him up from his sleep, he picked the phone up and to his surprise it was his long-ago neighbour from San Gabriel. "Hello there Noah! How are you!" Aunt Laura cheerfully brighten.

"I heard your birthday is tomorrow. Brings me back to those blissful times when you and my son would always celebrate your birthday together every year. Why not you guys meet up and catch up with each other, I bet he would be very happy to celebrate with you dear... he recently just moved to San Diego too!" She continued.

"It's okay aunt Laury... I don't think he would want to see me again..." Corpse declined feeling apologetical.

"Hey, Corpse! I'm home!" Sykkuno was full of sweat when he ran back. "I'll call you back later" Corpse ended the call and saw Sykkuno once again full with grocery shopping bags.

"What did you get there, Sykkuno?" Corpse hover over to take the bag of groceries but Sykkuno insisted on carrying them. "It's a secret!" A light pink spreading across his cheeks as he hides it. Sykkuno's reaction was so cute, it made Corpse smile slightly.

He could feel his heart pumping just looking at Sykkuno so closely, he's just so unbelievably beautiful. That chestnut brown colour pair of eyes, just so full with the excitement of the whole world, it's just so fucking cute.

They both just stood there gazing at each other before Corpse's phone rang again. "I-I'll go take a bath!" Sykkuno quickly took off his shoe and ran into his room. "Ha... what the hell was I thinking..." Corpse ruffles his hair feeling flustered. He tries to brush it off and went ahead opening his stream.

It was already 12 am by the time he finished his stream, his eyes were feeling sore from looking at the screen for the whole day. He then get up from his seat and opened the door. A sweet aroma once again fills his empty stomach.

To his surprise, he was greeted by a freshly baked cherry pie with a candle to top it. Sykkuno blushes, pushing the pie to the birthday guy, "U-Um... I didn't think you would come out that soon.. but.. happy birthday C-corpse!"

Seeing Sykkuno putting efforts to celebrate his birthday is really touching. In the past, just the mere thought of having friends was already impossible, nor would he able to have any birthdays with any...

Just having Sykkuno's presence is enough to warmth his cold heart, without him..he doesn't even know how could how live this long. It's as if a heavy burden of his heart was lifted.

"Thank you... really..."he hugs onto Sykkuno tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. Carefully setting down the pie, he put both of his arms around Corpse's waist silently listening to his heartbeat.

Still unsure of the right words, Sykkuno hugs him tight. Hanging on, he started counting, he read it from a book that said for a hug to be truly beneficial it needs to last at least twenty seconds. Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... they both still couldn't let go of each other.

"U-um... Corpse..?" Sykkuno peeks at Corpse who burried his face in his shoulder. "Yea...?" Corpse replied as he turns to face at Sykkuno.

"I-I know this is weird but i got you a gift, I hope you'll like it! Sykkuno withdraws from the hug and fiddly waddle himself to the living room, reaching towards a cute present bag and gave it to Corpse.

To break the ice, Corpse suggested some beer, since it taste well with the cherry. Preparing to dig in, he noticed Sykkuno kept glancing at him weirdly. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Corpse asked

"N-no! I was thinking if you would like the pie...since it's my first time making it..." Sykkuno fidgetly peek at him. " Hey man, I fucking love cherries" Corpse replied confidently, which was weirdly funny. They both chuckled and continued eating while drinking.

After a few drinks, it was already obvious that Sykkuno was tipsy as his face was horribly flushed red, but he didn't want to end the night that early so he quietly sip bit by bit of the beer.

Concious of Sykkuno, Corpse tried to stop him from drinking but he insists that he can still drink. So they just continued to talk about games until Sykkuno nodded off.

Corpse carefully craddled him to his room. Before letting him down, both of Sykkuno's arms locks around Corpse's neck, not letting him go. In the shadows his face was so close to Corpse's that he could smell the faint sweet alcohol fragrance of the beer he had been drinking. "Mhmm... please don't go..." Sykkuno mumbled, pulling Corpse's closer.

Before he could withdraw his mind from its far places, his head was already filled with him, all the other sounds of the world went silent at that moment - the creaking of the bed, the sound of tv playing downstairs, the airplane outside making an exclamation mark in the sky - all silent, as both of their eyes lock at each other.

"Fuck Corpse... chill the fuck out" Corpse smack his face, letting the pain distract himself as heat rose from his stomach to his chest. Their face was getting closer and closer to each other.

Not daring, not daring let himself go - not even daring let himself realize that this was the beginning of the ineffable life which, ably assisted by fate, he had finally willed into being - not daring really kiss Sykkuno, his thumb touched his hot lips with the utmost piety.

Corpse gaze at Sykkuno, as he leaned in close until their nose wete touching. He watched Sykkuno slowly tilted his head and leaned forward, leaving a light peck on Corpse's.

His senses were lost as their lips met, as he pulles Sykkuno closer for another, leaving his palm around his waist, another hand gently let ran his fingers through his hair. His heart was going wild in his chest. Frigid air swelling around them, outside the sky black as anthracite, each star a hard chip of broken glass ablaze in white light.

Its like opening up your soul, tasting feeling and seeing every colour of the rainbow in their own sensual way, almost like catching a smile in a bottle, its softness, its sweetness...

Like breathing in the person like a cool inhalation of oxygen to warm the soul.. Like nothing in the world exist but just you and the person...

"We should really stop..." Corpse pulls away from the kiss, breathless, palm on Sykkuno's warm cheeks. He doesn't want to push Sykkuno into this kind of stuff, not especially when he is drunk, he then pulled him into his embrace, softly patting his hair. Sykkuno snuggled himself in Corpse's embrace hugging onto Corpse.

"Thank you for staying with me Sykkuno... You're the best Birthday present I'd ever had" Corpse whispers into Sykkuno's ear, as his lips met with another's forehead.
