Just like the last time, Lee Sa-young wakes up first.
It was somewhat frustrating, how his body clock refuses to let him sleep longer even when he feels so comfortable. He briefly wonders what time it was, but couldn't bring himself to care much when he notices how neither he nor his hyung broke the embrace. They even seem to have pulled each other closer if that was possible.
He pulls away slightly, just enough to be able to look at Cha Eui-jae's face. Sa-young is still blown away by the older man's looks; He had already told him that he was handsome (and adorable, granted that he mostly voiced out the latter in order to get a reaction) but that doesn't make it any less true.
But now, as Eui-jae slept peacefully in his arms, the word that came to mind was beautiful. His features soft and his expression relaxed, there even seems to be a small tilt on his lips that could be a hint of a smile. Sa-young wonders if the hunter, well, part-timer has ever been told that, or if he was aware of it at all.
Cha Eui-jae is divine.
Whenever he would laugh freely because Sa-young had done something he thought was dumb; or he had a small crease in between his brows when he looks at Sa-young with worry; his stance in the middle of battle; the flush on his cheeks when he gets embarrassed; the way the moonlight would hit his ash-gray hair; how his expression completely lights up when he plays with Park Ha-eun; the way his eyes seemed to just stare straight past the guild leader and #2 title and just see Sa-young as... his only success.
With how intertwined they've become in each other's routines and how inseparable they were now, he honestly couldn't picture the rest of his life without the older man by his side. Especially with how the he now seemed to have a knack for noticing the slightest changes in Sa-young's expressions, and how eager he was in figuring out the cause, doing anything in his power to appease him. He feels so spoiled, so cared for by the man in his arms, it makes him so impossibly warm that he just wants to hold onto his hyung and never let him go.
"Aren't you paying too much attention to me..?" He mumbles before moving forward again and kissing the crown of Eui-jae's head. "Thank you, hyung. I love you."
