14th Feb,
8:15am
Akk is woken up to the unpleasant sound of his alarm blaring into one ear and out the other, stiffly slamming his hand onto his phone in hopes he hits the ‘stop’ button, and he succeeds.
he looks to his side to see if he had accidentally woken Ayan up but to his relief, he notices his chest still slowly rising and falling in the same sync as before as he slightly nuzzled against the shared blanket.
He hadn’t noticed how long he had been admiring him until Ayan slowly opened his eyes before quickly closing them as the harsh sunlight peered through the curtains.
“Morning, shortstop” he said with a soft grin as he laid on his side with his elbow propped up, sinking into the soft pillow.
“mm…morning bigfoot” Ayan spoke groggily as he rubbed his eyes before setting them onto Akk’s face as the soft sunlight fell perfectly onto his face, making him look extra cute. “what time is it?” Ayan asked, he didn’t really have a reason to ask the time since it was the weekend and they had nowhere to be, for now, Nevertheless he still didn’t pass the opportunity to hear Akk’s beautiful voice every chance he was given.
“8:20am, on the dot” he declared as if it was some sort of achievement but then his eyes wondered up to the date on his phone, February 14th. Valentine’s day.
Akk and Ayan have been together for over 2 years now, he knew it was stupid to think of them celebrating something as silly as a made up romantic holiday even after being together for multiple years now but he couldn’t help but get lost in the thought of them spending the day doing sappy couple things and getting lost in each other’s eyes like they are the main characters in a romance novel.
“Earth to Akk?” Ayan repeated a couple of times before gently poked the side of his head to make him turn back from his phone, wondering what he was looking at for so long.
Akk quickly snapped back to reality and turned back to Ayan, wondering if he knows that date or even has something planned, curiosity slipping into his big boba eyes. “sorry, i was looking at the date” Akk replied.
“The date?” Ayan looked at him a little confused.
Akk noticed Ayan looked confused and must not have taken notice that it was valentine’s day, he doesn’t need to anyway, it was just one of the stupid thoughts he had in his mind.
“Yeah it’s…February 14th” he said unaffected acting like he wasn’t just imagining them being all lovey dovey a minute ago.
Ayan gave one more confused glance before he finally realised. “Ohh, it’s valentine’s day, right?”
Akk nodded. “It’s nothing special though, i just happened to notice right now”
He lied. He had been secretly wishing Ayan knew and would drop one of his cheesy compliments or even just a kiss on the cheek to satisfy his idea of a somewhat romantic gesture for the only day that couples use as an excuse to act disgustingly cute in public without backlash.
“Oh cmon, it’s a pretty special day, i get to kiss you as much as i want without you complaining” he chuckled.
“I never complain.” Akk pouted and gave him a somewhat annoyed glare, looking more adorable than anything.
“Well, technically i can also give you this without you questioning my every little move…” he grinned as he turned to the side of the bed.
“what?” Akk watched in confusion and tried to see what he was grabbing from the bedside drawer but Ayan blocked his view before quickly turning back with a rose in his mouth, like how they did it in those romance movie…but Ayan just looked a little stupid doing it, yet he still found it endearing.
“surprise!” He took the rose out of his mouth and twirled it in his hand a few times whilst looking back up at Akk’s face, which was slowly growing a suppressed smile. Ayan could tell he was trying to act like he didn’t care about the small gesture even though it was secretly giving him butterflies in his stomach. “Well then, Akk, will you be my valentine?” he smiled and handed him the rose.
Akk didn’t hide his wide grin anymore and gently took the rose from him as his fingers brushed over his hand in the process, most definitely on purpose. He didn’t respond yet but his body spoke faster than his voice and he pulled Aye in and crashed his lips against his.
Ayan obviously melted straight into his warmth and wrapped his arms around his neck before slowly tangling his fingers into his silky hair. He grinned into the kiss before slowly pulling back just enough to look back up at him and take a breath.
“i assume that’s a yes?” Ayan smirked with confidence, already knowing his answer.
“of course, idiot.” His eyes rolled, undoubtedly smiling at this point.
“Hey, that’s no way to talk to your valentine” He made sure to make his new label very clear, flexing it to nobody in particular.
“Did you have that rose in there the whole time?” Akk chuckled with curiosity.
“mhm, did you really think i would miss the opportunity to spoil you with surprises?” Ayan tilted his head slightly just admiring his boyfriend even more intensely, almost unable to look away as if his eyes were glued to Akk’s presence.
”no…i just thought you forgot or didn’t realise today was a special day” He muttered trying to act unfazed at his comment.
“oh, so i make today a special day, hm?” His grin widening as he watched Akk become slightly flustered.
“what? no! today is just a universally special day for everyone..” Akk protested feeling his cheeks burn up slowly.
Ayan couldn’t resist how adorable Akk was and slowly leant closer to him and planted soft kisses across his face, moving from under his eye to his forehead, to the small freckle on his chin. Akk felt like his body was being set on fire with every soft kiss placed against his skin. He felt a jolt of weakness through his muscles as his body subconsciously leaned into Ayan’s touch.
“You’re so effortlessly kissable” Ayan whispered aloud without even processing the words first, this made Akk tense up quickly while blush crept onto his ears.
“Don’t…say those things so casually.” He mumbled in a low tone.
He’s not sure how Ayan’s simple words still make him a hot mess after all this time, but he never fails to succeed his sick mission. Aye chuckled at his ability to make Akk lose his composure after a couple simple words but he loved every bit of it.
“you know you love it” His eyes followed Akk as he purposefully avoided eye contact before quickly burying his face into the pillow.
“shut up…”
He slowly looked back at Ayan, who was smiling a little too widely with a smug expression which just made Akk fall in love all over again. They looked at each other’s half-lidded, boba eyes, getting lost in them as they slowly glistened at the sore sight of each other’s yearning look before there lips slowly met again, connecting like two puzzle pieces meant for one another.
“i love you..”
“i love you more, akk”
