"How is it?" Beomgyu asked Taehyun as he took the first bite from the meal prepared by the older male who looked at him with anticipation.

They finally settled down at the table with a super excited Beomgyu having made an almost perfect dinner.

Taehyun relished the food made by his lover no matter how under-seasoned it was. It still tasted wonderful to him. "It's so good, hyung."

"Really?"

He nodded, taking another bite of the food and eating it deliciously.

The pleased smile that adorned Beomgyu's face quickly turned into a frown the moment he tasted it for himself. "Taehyun-ah! It has almost no salt! How are you eating it?"

"It has plenty of love to replace it. It is enough for me." he chuckled before continuing to eat.

Groaning, Beomgyu got up from his seat to bring salt from the kitchen and added it to the food. A small smile played at his lips at the comment from his lover. It made him feel giddy.

"Much better," he mused and took his first proper bite. Taehyun laughed at him before enveloping him in a sideways hug.

That night, the bed didn't feel so cold anymore. The moon didn't look so lonely anymore. The darkness wasn't as dark anymore.

That night, he had Taehyun beside him. They talked about various topics and events that had taken place while he was gone.

Beomgyu scrolled through his phone and showed Taehyun the pictures he'd taken while he was away.

There was a thing he noticed, "Why aren't there any pictures of you?"

He saw pictures of his other friends, Toto, different types of take-out he'd ordered, pictures of the sunrise. But none of them had Beomgyu in it except for the group photos with the rest of the boys.

The said boy looked away for a moment. "Didn't feel like it. I'd rather take them with you." He looked down so that his eyelashes brushed against his cheeks in the most delicate way he could count them.

Setting aside the phone on the nightstand, Taehyun brought his hand close to Beomgyu and brushed off the stray hair that fell on his eyes, placing a small kiss on his temple.

The touch of Taehyun's lips with his forehead made him feel fluttery all over again like the first kiss they'd shared back in high school. Subconsciously, he leaned into the kiss taking in the scent of the younger boy he had so dearly missed.

Noticing how vulnerable Beomgyu felt at that moment, Taehyun peppered a few more kisses all over his face comforting him. Each little kiss resembled a promise- promise to always protect him, always trust him, always be there when he needed him, always be by his side and to always, always love him no matter what.

His skin burned at the contact with Taehyun- it was so addicting. He wanted more.

Pushing Taehyun on his back, he climbed on top of Taehyun straddling him and crashed his lips on that of Taehyun's. He kissed him like it was the only thing that would keep him sane- well it was true. He craved his physical presence so much and these two months of being apart had lit an invisible flame inside him.

He wanted to show how much he loved him be it through games, words, food, or moments like these.

Maybe that was only half the truth- Beomgyu was scared, scared that he might forget what Taehyun smelt like, what his hand felt like when it touched his own or the feeling of his lips that danced with Beomgyu's own- the fear had somehow found its way in his heart and he found it difficult to move on from it.

He knew it was stupid to think about it that way but he had to be practical. Taehyun was a military officer now and not just a trainee. He would be handling much riskier tasks and no one knows when what would happen. He had to be prepared for the worst.

Beomgyu knew on the day he proposed to Taehyun in the boot camp in front of everyone what he was stepping into. He had thought about that moment for months. He would support Taehyun no matter what and Beomgyu knew the younger male would do the same for him or even more.

Taehyun was taken aback at the action but returned the kiss nevertheless. After all, he missed him too. Each night before sleeping, only the thought of a certain brown-haired boy with the smile of an angel and a cute nose that he would like to chomp would cloud his mind.

So he did, Taehyun kissed him slowly yet passionately. Lips moving in sync, he could taste the sweet strawberry balm the older male loved. The kiss held no haste or hurry. Everything at their own pace now that he was finally home for good.

His hand crawled Beomgyu's waist pulling him closer on top of him. He could hear the sound of his heart ringing in his ears. Beomgyu held himself up on his elbows and his forehead rested against Taehyun's letting out soft pants. His face flushed pink and his heart raced erratically in his chest.

"I love you so much," he breathed.

"I love you more than you think I do." the younger male replied before sitting up straight pulling Beomgyu with him and diving into another deep kiss- more urgently this time. His hand cupped the brown-haired boy's face firmly but gently.

Beomgyu felt as if his heart was right at the very edge of his neck waiting to jump out. One hand threaded itself in Taehyun's pretty locks and the other hand on the small of his back, lean but muscular. He slid his lips with equal fervor as the other.

It was evident how he tried to express the emotions of the time they spent apart into the kiss and understood it. He didn't need to say anymore. Even after years of being together their love remained the same, perhaps even stronger.

Taehyun woke up from his slumber to an empty bed. Rubbing his eyes of the sleep he got up and looked around for Beomgyu.

7:43 am

He threw the covers off of him and dived straight into the kitchen where Beomgyu stood wearing a brown apron with a little bear doodle on it.

Cute.

Walking to where he was, Taehyun wrapped his arms around the elder who was currently cutting fruit, resting his chin on his shoulders. "Good morning," he hummed.

Beomgyu bonked his head against Taehyun's lightly in response. "Why'd you wake up so early?" he said as he expertly slid the fruit into the mixer jar and turned it on.

"Habit," Taehyun said, his voice still raspy from sleep. "Why are you awake so early?"

Beomgyu turned around to face Taehyun and rubbed his nose against his, cupping his cheeks. "I just wanted to make some breakfast for my lovely husband."

"Oh, really?"

"Uhhmm," he nodded. "I almost perfected my cooking skills while you were gone." He said with a grin adorning his face.

And if Taehyun could he would kiss him right then and there. But he was so engrossed in cooking he tried to restrain himself and settled with a small peck to the cheek. "Good, I wouldn't wanna see my baby live on take-out all the time I'm away."

Finally done with the last of the preparations, Beomgyu began to set the table. Taehyun let go of Beomgyu, unwillingly so and helped him arrange it.

"Stop bragging about your god-tier cooking skills. You never tried teaching me," he whined with a small pout playing at his lips which was almost too impossible to resist.

The younger male walked closer to his hyung and cupped his cheeks to press a chaste kiss on his soft lips causing him to turn as red as a strawberry.

"Maybe, I just wanted to feed you all the time?" He smiled against his lips.

His hands forgot what they were doing and accidentally put the spoons inside the jug of water. "Sh-shut up."

His entire face was burning hot and Taehyun couldn't help but chuckle at the flustered mess.

"Let's go to the movies!" Beomgyu chimed from his place on the bed while Taehyun sat on a chair busy reading a book.

A few days after he'd returned home and it was only filled with endless amounts of cuddles and kisses; neither of them were complaining though.

It had been a while since he'd been given a long-term break like this one and he hoped he could spend this time wisely with the boy he loved.

Setting aside his book, he looked towards Beomgyu. "Let's go then. You're booking?"

"Already did," the older male shut his laptop and made his way to Taehyun to give him a small peck on his lips. "Getting ready?"

The other male hummed in response.
