ano bang kinakatakot mo
you’re like
practically married
pretty sure he’s gonna say yes
[Baekhyun]
eh parang ayaw niya nga
hindi niya nga raw pinag-iisipan :(
Hinihintay niya lang ang reply ng kaibigan at katrabaho niya nang biglang may humablot ng cellphone niya at bago pa siya makapag-react ay bigla na lang siya pinaulanan ng halik ni Chanyeol.
Teka. Anong nangyayari?
Parang nawala ang lahat ng inaalala niya, and suddenly, everything’s just Chanyeol in his head as he welcomes the warmth that his boyfriend’s giving him.
Baekhyun couldn’t help giggling habang patuloy pa rin si Chanyeol sa paghalik, parang walang parte ng mukha niya ang hindi niya pa nahahalikan. “A-Anong…”
Hindi niya matuloy ang sinasabi niya dahil parang hindi siya binibigyan ng pagkakataon ni Chanyeol. Napangiti na lang siya.
He can feel Chanyeol’s smile habang hinahalikan siya nito—sa labi, sa noo, sa magkabilang pisngi, sa mata, sa ilong, and at this point, he knows Chanyeol’s just teasing him for some reason. Para mapatigil ito ay hinawakan ni Baekhyun ang pisngi ni Chanyeol at saka siya hinalikan sa labi. Hindi na lumayo pa si Chanyeol at saka nilaliman ang halik, pero hanggang dun lang. Hanggang halik lang dahil pagkatapos ay sinubsob ni Chanyeol ang mukha niya sa may leeg ni Baekhyun. Baekhyun automatically caresses his hair and Chanyeol hums in satisfaction.
They stay like that for a while and Baekhyun almost thought that Chanyeol already fell asleep, pero naramdaman ni Baekhyun ang paghalik nito sa leeg niya.
“Anong meron?” bulong ni Baekhyun.
Chanyeol just shakes his head and stays on the same place. For some reason, bigla namang kinabahan si Baekhyun, iniisip na baka kaya ganito at nanglalambing ang boyfriend niya ay dahil may problema siya.
“May problema ba?” bulong ni Baekhyun.
At that, lumayo si Chanyeol sa kanya at humiga sa tabi niya. Nanatili ang kamay nito sa bewang niya. Tinignan siya ni Baekhyun, and he was honestly expecting a frown, but what he saw was the usual warm smile that his boyfriend gives him.
“Wala,” sagot nito sa kanya tapos binigyan siya nito ng halik sa pisngi. “I was checking papers a while ago and then I had this sudden urge to kiss you, tapos feeling ko, kapag hindi ko siya ginawa, sasabog ako.”
Baekhyun laughs at what his boyfriend just said. “Cute.”
“And I also felt like… you haven’t been feeling well or happy these past few days… so I hope that somehow cheered you up.”
Parang nanlambot naman si Baekhyun doon. Pati tuloy siya nagkaroon ng sudden urge na halikan ang boyfriend niya.
"I won't force you to say what's the problem. I know you'll say it. That's what we promised, diba?" mahinang bulong ni Chanyeol and he was looking at Baekhyun's eyes. Hindi na makaiwas ng tingin si Baekhyun, drowning on those eyes that he loves so much. "But when you're ready to tell me, sabihin mo, ha? You know I'm always going to listen to you, baby. Kahit ano pa 'yan."
He feels like biglang nagkapalit ang sitwasyon nila. Now, it's Chanyeol waiting for him to say the problem, and not the other way around.
And when Chanyeol smiled at him and gave him a kiss, Baekhyun felt at ease. Na para bang nawala ang lahat ng pinoproblema nito kanina lang.
"For now, I will hug you, kasi nanggigigil ako. Lagi kita gusto mayakap. I want hugs. I love hugs," sabi ni Chanyeol at natatawang niyakap ulit si Baekhyun. "I don't think makukumpleto ang araw ko na walang yakap na makukuha sa'yo, so I will make sure that I will get a hug every day. For the rest of my life."
For the rest of my life, huh?
Baekhyun likes that.
Parang gusto na lang din niya maiyak, ewan niya ba. Para pigilan ang sarili, niyakap niya nang mahigpit ang nobyo. Rinig na rinig niya ang steady heartbeat ng boyfriend niya, at hindi niya mapigilan mapangiti, liking how calm he is right now.
Hinalikan ni Chanyeol ang buhok niya. He can hear him humming a song.
"My world is changed… and it's cradled by the comfort that is you…"
Baekhyun likes it when Chanyeol's singing. Lalo lang siya nakakalma. Parang nabubura ang lahat ng inaalala niya sa buhay.
Chanyeol probably doesn't know how much comfort and warmth he can give. He just does it naturally. And Baekhyun loves it, craves for it, kahit nandyan naman palagi. It's like he'll never get enough of it. Mapagbigay na tao si Baekhyun, pero ito? Ito ang isang bagay na gusto niyang ipagdamot. Ito ang isang bagay na kahit minsan ay hindi niya naisip na bitawan.
Baekhyun wants this.
For the rest of his life.
