Work Text:
"I think, as a human being, there is something very wrong with you." Uea huffs out a breath as he undos more errors that he made because his boyfriend, his lovely adorable boyfriend, refuses to go back to his seat and keeps staring at him.
"You were away from me for so long, I got Uea withdrawals." And oh, he's pouting now. Uea's determined to not look at him. He can do this.
"I didn't come to work for one single day."
"And you didn't let me come see you either."
"Because you were working overtime and you were probably too tired and I didn't want you to drive all the way over." Uea says, masking over a few layers as he tries to edit the new project for their new campaign.
"You could've come over!" The elder whines as he slumps over the desk, his big puppy eyes staring up at Uea.
"I was sick, I didn't want to infect you. I trust you to survive one day without me."
"But I didn't have anyone to bother! No one else gets all cutely angry and red like you do!"
"I don't get red!" Uea exclaims, just as he turns just that.
"Yes, baby, sure you don't." King rolls his eyes at him, resting his chin on his hand as he continues to stare at him.
"Please, can you go back to your seat? You're distracting me."
"Will you let me hug you?"
"There's absolutely no way." Uea says, distracted as he tries to get one thing that keeps bugging him, right on the template.
"Guess we both got things we aren't getting." King shrugs then.
"What if I agree to go out with you today?"
"Dinner?"
"And dessert."
"And you'll stay over?" King sprung up in his seat at the chance, his eyes brightening.
"King." Uea almost scolds him, no real bite in his voice per usual.
"Uea." The older slumps back in his chair, disappinted.
"Okay, fine. I'll stay over too. In fact, I'll cook you breakfast in the morning. Now will you please go finish your work so we can get out of here and don't have to do overtime today too?"
"Yes, sir." His coworker then presses a quick kiss on his forehead then immediately doges the punch that Uea throws his way.
He's a nuisance, but he's Uea's nuisance.
"I thought I reserved a table here." King comes back out of the restaurant as Uea waits in the car sorting through some emails. "I swear I did. I called right after you agreed, I told them 8 o'clock. This is so weird."
"Are you sure you called the right place?"
"Yes." King gets into his Audi, then turns his body to face Uea's. "The lady at the front thinks they accidently booked over some else's reservation, but she promises to give us a table tomorrow or anytime next week. But I really, really wanted you to try the food here."
Uea then looks up from his phone to see his boyfriend genuinely upset about not being able to take him to the place, and a smile takes over his face before he can attempt to hide it, "King. It's okay. We can go anywhere."
"But it won't mean the same thing if I just take you somewhere normal. You're my boyfriend, and I want you to take you to special places because you're special to me."
Uea bites back a laugh, trying very hard not to lean forward and pinch the older's cheeks because god he looks so cute all grumpy and muttering under his breath, "King, I promise you. Anywhere I go with you is special to me."
At that, King looks up with stars in his eyes like he does, Uea's heart bursting into a million little pieces, "I can't believe you just said that to me."
"Yeah, well, ahem." Uea turns back around to look straight ahead on the road. "I only said that to make you feel better, so don't go all mushy on me now."
"Uea." He has barely turned to face King when he feels a soft kiss press on his lips. "Thank you."
"Such an idiot." Uea grumbles under his breath. "There's nothing to thank me for, I like going out with you too." Before King can interrupt him and make him feel all mush, he continues, "Now can you drive? I'm hungry."
Without another word but a fond smile that Uea catches when he peeks in his direction, King starts the car and pulls of the curb.
"Coming to think of it, you never told me why you came to me that one night in the club." Uea says around a bite of honey chicken in his mouth. "I assumed you had a date, but you still came up to me like you were interested."
King chuckles, mixing more of the gravy into his noodles, "Have you looked at yourself? I'd have to be blind not to notice you."
Uea pretends to not let that get to him, King just has a habit of saying stuff that makes him blush and it's annoying and frankly rude because now his heartbeat is all fast and his neck feels hot, "Yeah, right."
"I mean, there you were sitting all pretty and alone. You were practically drawing me to you. And I saw how other people were looking at you and I just rationalised with myself that I was protecting you from creeps."
"By coming onto me like a creep?"
"Hey!" King puts down his coke, swallowing hurriedly before he exclaims, "I was just saying hi! I wasn't trying to do anything creepy!"
"I know." Uea laughs, covering his mouth with his hand, "It's just nice to see you flushed for a change."
"Sometimes I think you're just bullying me."
Uea smiles fondly, awwing."I know what would make that better."
Then he leans forward and kisses King's left cheek, then right, "There." Then he goes back to eating like nothing ever happened.
While King continues to stare at him like he hung up the stars and the moon in the sky tonight.
"He makes me so angry." Uea whispers to Jade when they're taking a break and talking while trying to avoid the mountain of work they were just assigned, "Look at him, walking around like that."
"Like what?" Jade sips from his bubble tea, trying to ascertain what warranted this reaction. King looks pretty normal, he's helping Gun at his desk and now he's walking back to his own.
"He's dressed in black." Uea whispers again almost angrily, looking at King with his eyes narrowed like he's done something horrible.
"He's always dressed in black." Jade points out.
"Exactly! There are other colours, colours that won't make him look like that! But he insists on wearing that."
"Look like what?" Jade decides to humour him.
"Like that!" Uea gestures in the general direction of King, "He's out to get me."
"And you feel angry that he looks good?"
"I mean, it has to be anger. My heart is racing and my palms sweat whenever I'm with him or when he gets close to me which has to mean that I want to punch him! And my breathing also gets more difficult." Uea narrows his eyes at King's back again. "That must mean I'm angry at him."
"Uea." Jade doesn't know if his best friend is really that naïve or just dumb at this point. "It's not anger."
"It's not?" Uea's eyes widen, looking at Jade then back at his nemesis. "So it's revenge."
Jade holds himself back from facepalming, "No it's not that either. Uea, you're in love with him."
Uea's quiet for a few seconds, looking from him to King then to him again. "No way."
"I saw you two cuddling like three hours ago! People who don't like each other don't do that, Uea."
"But that's impossible." Uea frowns, "I've never been in love before I think."
"Well, it seems like King is your first one."
King insists he's not flirting.
No really, it is essential that he holds his coworker's hand beneath the desk during a meeting. Yes, most of their colleagues at this point are aware of their relationship (King still loves how he doesn't have to question it anymore and can call it that) but the thrill of hiding what's between them is not something King wants to let go of.
"King." He feels his boyfriend try to shake off his hand, which only makes him hold it tighter and rest it on his lap while pretending to nod along to whatever the boss is saying. He swears he's a good employee, it's all Uea's fault he's distracted right now.
His pretty, kind and amazing cute little boyfriend who is currently trying not to stare daggers at him too obviously.
"King, let go." He hears being whisper yelled at him again, while he pretends to be interested in the question Jade is now asking. Something about a design, he's sure.
"Uea?" The boss now addresses his boyfriend, which makes said boyfriend jump five feet in the air like he got caught by a teacher in high school.
"Yes, boss?" He clears his throat, trying helplessly to shake off King's hand again.
"Did you finish the designs for the campaign last night?"
"Yes, I forwarded them to you on mail." While King had been upset initially that his boyfriend (can you tell he loves calling Uea that) hadn't told him he was going to work overtime, he had quickly been appeased when Uea promised he would come over after he's finished working and they would order in together.
Which of course result in King napping next to Uea on his desk, but that goes without saying.
"Alright, good work, team." Everyone starts leaving while the love of his life turns around in his seat, glaring at him.
"Hi, love." He tickles underneath his chin.
"King." And King can tell Uea's resolve to be angry at him was breaking, as it always does, because he can see the prettiest smile peeking through.
"I prefer being called boyfriend, but yes?" He's being clingy he knows that, but damnit it's the first true love he's ever experienced and he's going to be clingy every single second that he wants to.
"You can't keep doing that."
King pulls Uea's chair next to him, "Doing what?"
"Making it so obvious." Uea says a little shyly.
"But everyone already knows, baby." King presses a swift kiss on his boyfriend's cheek, quickly dodging the slap coming his way then grinning in victory.
"There's this called a line between personal and work relationships."
"And what is our personal relationship, hm?"
"King." Uea whines, making King kiss him again because damnit his boyfriend is adorable.
"This is what you get for not telling me you have to stay in office late."
"I think I've received like twenty punishments already for that!" Uea exclaims indignantly, even as King puts both arms on the armrest of his chair.
"Yeah, well." King leans in, kissing Uea's earlobe which makes him jump a little. "I was pretty wounded."
"And will you ever forgive me?" Uea asks distractedly, his breath caught in his throat.
"I'll think about it."
