Chapter Text
it’s valentine's day. minhyun wakes up early as usual, being a morning person that he is, to prepare for the day. a smile was formed on his face when he sees seongwu, who is in his deep sleep in his side. he remembers him whining yesterday night about how cold the weather is so he had no choice but to let the other share the bed with him, though he has to admit that good thing seongwu asked because he wants to sleep with him too. he also remembers how they managed not to fall despite the constriction due to the limited space.
his fingers lightly trace the fine line of seongwu's jaw, then he pokes the tip of his nose. he cannot help but laugh when seongwu scrunches his face but didn't wake up. this man must be having a good dream, minhyun thought. he immediately left the bed after pinching the other's cheeks for the last time. he can't really help it especially now that seongwu looks angelic when he's asleep.
it's noticeable that the number of stalls that sell chocolates increased compared to the other day. there are a lot of people too, but not too many since the sun has just almost risen. at this time, most are out for breakfast and some strolling. couples are walking hand in hand and minhyun can't help but smile, thinking that he and seongwu will probably do it when they go out together later. for now, he's finding this shop that sells that one life-size teddy bear that seongwu was eyeing before. he hopes that it will be already opened when he arrives because he can't wait how excited seongwu will be when he sees the gift.
while he's on his way walking, he sees this stall that sells a beautiful set of flowers. he personally likes how is it arranged, so he went near for him to purchase one. he plans to give it to seongwu. it’s their first valentine’s day together, and he hopes he likes receiving flowers as much as he does. it's always seongwu who gives him flowers, maybe in a bouquet or in just a stalk, so this time he's planning to give the other man the most beautiful set that captivated his eyes.
with a bouquet of flowers in his other hand, he proceeded to go to that shop. luckily, the store owner just finished arranging stuff, so he went in to look for that particular teddy bear. he noticed that they were three of it, but maybe one already bought the other so the two are only left. he remembers seongwu looking at the white one while saying that if minhyun is a bear he'll probably be it, seeing how it is similar to minhyun's pale skin so he got that one and good thing he brought a car because he can't be walking with a bear almost his size, adding that the flowers he's holding must be maintained in good condition.
it didn't take long when he arrived at their apartment. he got the huge teddy bear out of the car and carried it to put just in front of their door because seongwu can’t see it yet. he also made sure that the flowers are still presentable before entering.
"happy valentine's—”.
but what welcomed him home is a surprise, and he can't help but laugh heartily because it’s the thing he didn't expect to happen. seongwu was standing there, all neat and well-groomed as if minhyun didn't leave him sleeping, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand too. they are standing in front of each other and seongwu didn't even suppress his laugh, because he must admit too that this is funny.
seongwu is pouting after asking why do they have the same gift for each other, but minhyun noticed that he's about to cry when he received minhyun's. minhyun cooed at him, the baby in front of him is just too adorable. he's glad that he liked the flowers just as how he likes what seongwu gave.
"happy valentine's day, love." minhyun greeted back, after wiping seongwu's tears that are about to fall. he didn't expect him to be this touched. seongwu replied to him with a kiss, slow and tender, expressing his love and gratitude. minhyun returns it the same. both of them can't help but smile through their shared kiss.
after parting, minhyun remembers he has another gift waiting outside.
"wait, i have something else to give to you." seongwu speaks. he didn't expect him to say what he wanted to say too.
"oh, me too. let me just get it outside."
and yet, another surprise for this day.
"why do we think so alike?” seongwu said while holding this teddy bear, the one that was bought from the shop. it turns out it was seongwu who got it. they both laugh while exchanging gifts. seongwu got the white one that minhyun bought earlier, while minhyun got the brown one.
"when did you buy this?" minhyun asked. seongwu was good in hiding because of how the bear didn't have a trace in their apartment.
"yesterday, when you were in class." seongwu beams.
it doesn't matter that they got the same gifts for each other this day, though admittedly it's funny (but cute) how they have two life-size teddy bears in their apartment. seongwu said they are now their children, and minhyun can feel his ears burning.
"by the way, i'll claim my other gift later." seongwu winked before heading to the kitchen to serve the food he has prepared.
minhyun can feel his whole face burning now.
