Work Text:
The smell of pancakes woke Xiao up, his face buried between Venti’s bed sheets. It was the first time he stayed the night over Venti’s, and was expecting to wake up next to his face, honestly.
When he finally got up, he realized not only the smell of pancakes was filling the apartment, but also a beautiful voice coming from his boyfriend.
“Get out, you bastard!! Shoo, shoo!” Venti said, waving a spatula at the window. Ah, so that was happening. It was nice hearing his boyfriend’s voice first thing in the morning. Wasn’t expecting it to be him talking to the neighbors’ cat that was hovering his tail over the counter.
“Do you want some help?” Xiao asked from the doorway. As soon as Xiao tried to get close, the cat hopped off the counter and to the window again, back to his house. “See? Gone.”
“I don’t understand why he only listens to you, I’m the one that has the actual allergies,” said Venti, back to the pan so the pancakes wouldn’t get burnt. He tried to hide his sniff but Xiao realized, and thought it was cute.
“What are you cooking?” He asked, getting from behind him to grab his waist. He rested his chin on his shoulder while looking at the pan.
“Pancakes! I tried to make them heart shaped but they kinda look more like a butt.”
Xiao closed his eyes and smiled at the comment. They did look like butts, but it was okay because they were made by Venti. His boyfriend Venti, who was wearing a hoodie, a very familiar hoodie.
“Is this my hoodie?” he asked.
“Uh, yeah,” Venti said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “Why? Do you want it now? I just woke up a bit cold and got the first thing I saw.”
“No, it’s just that… I can’t believe you’re actually wearing my clothes,” Xiao said, surprised, and a slight blush on his cheeks. “Are we gonna be that kind of couple from now on?”
“You mean mushy feely, wearing each other's clothes, cooking breakfast for the other, kind of domestic couple?” Xiao nodded from Venti’s shoulder. He didn’t realize he was that much into physical touch but with Venti was different.
“Um, yeah.”
“Then the answer is yes. I mean, you just saved me from a cat, that should actually count as you already have my hand in marriage.” he joked.
Just by thinking about it Xiao got his head to Venti’s nape, flustered. They just barely started dating and Venti was already talking about marriage, even if it was a joke.
“It was nice that your voice was the first thing I heard today.” Xiao said, even if it was screaming at a cat that wasn’t theirs. “I want to hear it everyday.” He kissed the exposed skin between the hoodie and his boyfriend’s neck.
“That tickles,” Venti said, getting Xiao out of his neck, smiling. He turned off the stove and got around to finally face his boyfriend. “Hi,” he said, softly.
“Hi,” Xiao answered, smiling at him.
They closed the distance with a small and sweet kiss.
If this was how all their mornings were going to be from now on, Xiao thought he could handle all this boyfriend stuff.
