Work Text:
That day Gun and Off went to the Safari Park together. Yes, just the two of them. They had planned the trip when Gun went into quarantine. The trip was very enjoyable and kept private. Off and Gun deliberately did not share their activities that day on their social media. Meanwhile, Babii--as Off and Gun fans--who met them in the park were also able to work together to keep Off and Gun secret from the public.
"Thanks for today, Papii." Gun said when Off took him home.
"Don't mention it. I promised you, Gun." Answer Off gently.
"Okay then. I'll go in first, okay. Bye."
When Gun opens his car door, Off holds Gun's right arm.
"What's wrong, Papii?" Gun turned to Off and asked confused.
"Uhm... can... can we just stay here for a while?" Said Off.
Gun is surprised by Off being nervous about him. But Gun tries to look normal. You know, he's the best actor.
"Sure." Gun returns to the starting position and closes the car door again.
Off's hand that was originally on Gun's arm, slowly descends until their palms meet. Off linked their fingers with each other and Gun returned the link. Holding each other's hands, Off and Gun were silent as they stared at the empty street in front of them.
Gun didn't like this kind of silence. It's not like the Off he knows. Gun knows Off is nervous and that affects Gun too.
"Are you okay?" Gun asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm ok." The answer looked at Gun.
"But you don't, Papii. What's wrong?"
Off tightened his grip.
"Gun?" Call Off gently.
Gun stared at him intently.
"Maybe, you'll think I'm stupid or something. However, I've been thinking about this about a year. I'm confused, Gun. I'm not sure where to start? I don't know what to do after this? I'm confused about you and me. About my feelings for you. All this time I thought that we were good friends. So we understand each other. Assuming everything we do is normal and so on. But after I realized, it turns out that these feelings are too complicated for me, Gun. I fell for you too deep I do. I feel comfortable when you're around me, close to me. I always want you to do this and that to me and when you don't, I'll feel lost. I really feel like I can't get away from you, Gun. I know it's too late but I love you, Gun. Love you so much. Like... so much." Off confessed.
I know, Papi. I know you love me. Inner Gun.
They both kept silent until Off continued to speak.
"Can I kiss you?" Off asks Gun for approval.
"Y-yeah." Gun replied nervously but agreed.
Off brought his face closer to Gun and tilted his head. Aligning his lips with the other man's. Off gently hit Gun's full lips. Off licked those beautiful lips gently and luckily Gun replied. They continued to kiss gently until one of them had to break the kiss because They're needed air.
While cupping Gun's cheeks, Off pressed his forehead against Gun's.
"Papii." Gun calls softly.
Off responded with his gentle gaze.
"Thank You." Say Gun
Off smiled and they both returned to their usual positions.
"But... But Gun can't be in the relationship Papii wants." Gun answered while holding Off's left cheek.
"Gun relieved Papii said this. Gun also loves Papii more than anything and Papii knows it. Even Gun's feelings haven't changed since the first day until today. But to be in a relationship like two people who are in love. Papii is right, it's very complicated."
Gun hung his words for a few seconds.
"But one thing Papii needs to know, that Gun has always loved Papii. Gun loves Papii as a friend, brother, work partner and Gun's love of my life. Let's just let our relationship run like this. Go on as usual. support each other. Gun will always take pictures of Papii when Papii sleeps and Papii will take care of Gun. Don't worry. Gun's feelings will not change towards Papii. The moment we dream of will come in time. Gun promises." Clear Gun gently. Both his eyes and his speech, all very gentle.
Off and Gun know that they both love each other. But Gun was afraid that if they were really in an official relationship, they would break up one day and change everything. And Gun doesn't want that to happen. But today, Gun is happy that Off confessed his feelings for Gun because Gun had waited so long about this.
Off holds Gun's hand which is still on his cheek. Off closed his eyes with a smile. Gun hugs Off right away and Off returned the hug.
"Thank you, Gun." Say Off.
"Thank you, Papii." Answer Gun.
Gun kissed Off on the cheek before letting go of his embrace.
"Then, Gun first, okay?"
"Okay."
Gun opened his car door.
"Gun?" Call Off. Again.
Gun turned. "Yes, Papii?" Answer Gun.
Off pecked Gun's lips. "Good night."
Gun smiled and nodded but didn't reply to Off's words and went straight to his house. Off looks at Gun's back which is slowly disappearing from his sight. Until he was awakened by the Line notification on his phone.
"Good night too, Papii. Sweet dreams. Ily.ヾ(˙❥˙)ﾉ"
Off smiled and started his car towards his condo while the others were smiling shyly in his own room.
