Chapter Text
"Wait! Wait! Fix my tie first, please?" The six-year old Jeonghan pouted, holding up the fabric in his hands.
His bestfriend, Joshua, does not even know why they have to dress up formally. He wanted to play with their dragon or pirates costume but the stubborn kid puppy eyed until he gave in to wearing tuxes. Jeonghan found his father's coats and the other does not know how he managed to get it. It was too big for them but Jeonghan looked happy and satisfied.
Jeonghan looked at the younger and smiled because he can see his eyes sparkle when Joshua smiled back at him. "I think that will do it!" Joshua exclaims, looking proud of the knot in Jeonghan's tie.
"Great! I look cool!" looking in the mirror, he poses into what he think is cool. Joshua laughs, pointing at him, "You just look silly."
Once again, he pouts, pulling the younger beside him. "You're saying that because you have not seen yourself. You look cute, like a really cute doll, or a bunny!" He pinches his cheek.
"Now you are making fun of me." Joshua frowned. The elder likes teasing him because of his front teeth, saying that it looks adorable similar of a rabbit's.
"Okay, now close your eyes. I have a surprise for you!" Jeonghan instructs him, voice bursting with excitement which filled him with eagerness to see the surprise. He closed his eyes shut, waiting for the go signal to open his eyes again.
"How do I know you aren't peeking?" Jeonghan asks. He mentally rolled his eyes and covered his closed eyes with his hands. "There. I can't see anything."
A few minutes passed before he heard the other's voice, telling him that it's okay to open his eyes. What he saw next stunned him. He still has no idea what was going on.
His bestfriend was kneeling on the floor, holding a box too big for his hand as he needed both hands to hold it, with a ring which is probably owned by the other's mother. Clearly Jeonghan sneaked into his parent's room to get both the coats and the ring.
Jeonghan smiles brightly, "I want to marry Shua! I want to be with him until we graduate school and after that. Marry me, please?" He lifted the box near Joshua's face. The other six year old just blinked. What was Jeonghan saying?
"Please please please please please? Promise me you'll marry me?" Jeonghan asked, hopeful that the younger would agree.
Joshua nods, speechless. He does not understand why Jeonghan wants to marry him and why does he feel like he wants to be married to his bestfriend too. Jeonghan's eyes widened and he hurriedly places the ring on Joshua's cute, tiny fingers. Joshua in turn, kisses him on the cheek, resulting to cute blushes.
After shouting "Yes!" several times, the kid runs towards the kitchen to tell his mom the news.
"Mom, I'm getting married!" He declares cheerfully raising both of his hands as if he had won a prize. His statement made his mother smile, shaking her head, she asks "Are you and Shua playing princes again?"
He scowls, they are not playing. He wants to marry Shua for real! "No! I got him a ring! Wait I'll call him!" He stands in front of his room's door. "Honey! Let's show mom your pretty ring!"
He runs towards his mom, "he's coming." Turning back he calls again, "Shua, honey! Hurry up!" To which his mom laughs, "you call him honey now?"
He nods. "That's what married people call each other." He says, pleased with his actions. A minute later, a timid Joshua shows up, wearing Jeonghan's father's coat and the ring of his mom. He shyly walks towards them, "Hi auntie." He greets softly.
"Honey, show her the ring!" Jeonghan proudly tells him. Joshua nods and raises the hand with the ring too large for his finger. "Do I look okay, auntie?" He asks timidly. Nervous of what's about to happen. Maybe he and Jeonghan are in trouble again for playing with their clothes.
Contrary to what he expected, Jeonghan's mother smiles. "You look pretty, Shua. Jeonghan is lucky to have you as a husband."
He blinked. Once, twice, thrice. "Really?" With eyes wide he asks. She laughs, "of course, but not now, you guys are too young to get married. Someday in the future."
Jeonghan holds all his fingers up, "When we're this old?" His mother shakes her head, "nope, older than that, but for now, why don't you and your honey eat cookies and drink milk?"
The boys quickly sat on the table, eating, both completely distracted. "Honey, would you like some milk?" Jeonghan asks.
"Don't call me that, I feel weird." Joshua pouts. "But milk would be great, thanks Jeonghannie!"
And just like that. They forgot about getting married.
