The rest of that evening, wherever Khun went in the apartment, Bam would be there, clinging to him like a young child. The following week didn't get much better, especially with the release of the magazine coming up.

Khun had been told that there would be a quick turnaround on the images, the magazine with the advert in would be going out just a week after the photos were taken. And so, the closer the day of the magazine release, the clingier Bam got.

He was used to Bam being affectionate and loving but a whole week of being followed around their apartment by the lost puppy certainly felt abnormal.

"Bam.... I'm going to use the bathroom.... do you really need to follow me there?"

The blue haired boy stood halfway in the bathroom, hand still holding the door, looking exasperated.

Golden, puppy dog eyes pleaded with Khun.

"No, it's not going to work. Go back to the lounge."

The puppy dog look intensified.

"No! Go back to the lounge! Can't I even go to the fucking bathroom in peace anymore!?"

Raising his voice, Khun turned away and slammed the bathroom door behind him in one of his rare blow ups at his partner. He twisted the lock to make sure his little puppy didn't try to follow him in - it wouldn't surprise him at this point. And so the brunette would trudge back to the lounge to await his loves return.

But it wasn't only that.

Bam was more of a morning person than Khun, he would usually be out of bed and doing something around their home long before Khun dragged himself out of bed but, ever since the shoot, Bam would wait for him to wake up. Then they would shower together. Then Bam would ask Khun what he was doing for the day. Then Bam would follow Khun around, stream with him, do his chores with him, make dinner with him. Bam would usually go to bed earlier than Khun but now he would wait for his boyfriend to retire to bed and go with him.

The whole routine was really starting to grate on Khun. More often than not, he would forgive Bam anything but it was starting to get too much, even for him. He reasoned with himself and told himself that he should take advantage and enjoy Bams love and attention whilst it was still being offered. But it also felt a bit strange, the sudden increase in adoration. Throughout the week he tried to question his partner, see if there was something wrong.

"Are you okay Bam? You're being really affectionate lately?"

"Am I? I'm just giving you what you deserve."

The brunette would innocently reply and grin at his lover, as if nothing was wrong. Khun would narrow his eyes and Bam would respond by squeezing him tight and whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

"I love you, Aguero. You're mine and nobody elses."

He would raise a hand and brush aside his Aguero's hair, admiring the topaz earring adorning his ear. Stroking his loves cheek, adoringly gazing into those deep blue gems.

Khun was under no illusion about how much his boyfriend loved him but, sometimes, it felt a little too much. That Bam was young and inexperienced with love. That all of these emotions were new to the brunette and he was running with them. Khun was waiting for Bam to run out steam. To run out of love for him. He had seen it happen numerous times throughout his life. So he had decided long ago that he would embrace as much of that love as he could whilst it was being offered to him.

He had already connected the dots and knew that his modelling job had encouraged Bams affection, though he was incorrect in his theory that the brunettes attention was on him because he liked the photos. Khun lapped up the attention from his partner, trying to keep his annoyance to a minimum, convincing himself that he should enjoy it while it lasts. That overbearing and deep adoration.
