Vanitas was laying across the couch reading a cheesy rom-com questioning why anyone would ask such dumb questions like, would you love me if i was a worm. His boyfriend Noè was on the phone with his childhood friend Dominique talking about something, whatever it was they were being loud about it, Vanitas didn't really care though since he was to busy questioning the sanity of the rom-com protagonists to care. When Noè finishes up his call he sits on the only cushion Vanitas isn't laying on and looks at him. Vanitas ignores this however and continues to read. After a few minutes of this Vanitas eventually caves and asks him why he's staring.
"Uhhhhmmmm." Noè's fiddling with his fingers now, in a uncharacteristically low voice he finishes his question. "Would you love me if I was a rock?"
Vanitas stared blankly at him. What the hell is wrong with him, he thought as he looked back down at the book he was reading. When he looked back up not even five seconds later Noè looked like he had been told to kill himself.
"No? I would probably not love you." Was the only response Vanitas could think to say.
Noé's eyes went wide and he seemed genuinely upset by this discovery, he stared at Vanitas for a few moments before getting up and calling Domi back. Vanitas was just laying there confused at his reaction, why would someone fall in love with a rock, what kind of dumb question is that. After a few seconds of laying there he decided to wait until Noé finished his call to get up and check on him. Around five minutes later he got up and walk towards the kitchen and hope Noé was in there. He was thankfully so Vanitas continued to enter the space. Noé didn't notice him though so he decided to wait and watch him until he was inevitably seen. He watched as Noé moved through the kitchen to grab a piece of cake from the fridge, and realized he was wearing the white tee-shirt with their cat Murr's face on it that Vanitas had gotten him for Christmas a few years back. He looks so stupidly cute. Vanitas thought panicking after. What the hell am I thinking. Wait, why am I so worked up over this I'm literally dating him. It's probably because of that dumbass question. Vanitas' overthinking was interrupted by Noé tapping him on the shoulder.
"Why are you standing here?" Noé asked now seemingly less upset then before.
"Uhh, I was gonna ask if you were okay but it doesn't seem like you needed it." Vanitas said as he turned around dramatically and walked back to the couch.
"Why would you need to ask?" Noé inquired as he followed his little boyfriend, staring at his dark almost black hair that shone blue in the lighting of the living room.
Vanitas turned around and saw Noé looking at him with a smile.
"Why are you smiling?" He asked, then in a much quieter voice added. "I thought I hurt your feelings." Flopping on the couch he hid his face in a squishmallow Noé uses as a decorative pillow.
Noé was able to hear that last bit however since his hearing was better then most.
"Did you think I was upset about the rock question? Domi told me to ask you since she wanted to hear your response, I figured you would say something like that." Noé said, trying to make his partner feel better.
Vanitas heard him but kept the pillow on his face trying to hide the embarrassment on his face. After either a few minutes or seconds(Vanitas couldn't tell) Noé sat down next to him and pat him on head.
"I would love you if you were a rock." Vanitas said moving the pillow away slightly, blushing heavily as he said it.
"I would love you too." Noé said as he leaned over to kiss Vanitas on what little of his forehead he was showing.
Vanitas moved the pillow back over his face making sure nothing was showing screamed into it. He didn't care Noé was right there, his brain short-circuited to the point of no return. Noé was just staring at the scene trying not to laugh. When Vanitas stopped screaming and finally removed the squishmallow from his face, he looked up at Noé and stared at him. After a few seconds he decided on repaying the favor and pressed a chaste kiss to Noé's lips. Noé couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and fell over. Vanitas was just looking at how hard Noé was laughing. After a bit he got caught up in it too and was laughing hysterically.
"Why are we like this?" Noé said through deep breaths.
"I will never know mon cœur." Vanitas replied, tears in his eyes from the laughter.
