Chanyeol's p.o.v.

After school Chanyeol drove to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for that nights dinner. Chanyeol and Baekhyun had planned to make a ramen dinner for themselves later. Chanyeol parked in an empty space and they both got out of the car. Baekhyun grabbed a cart the moment they walked in and hopped onto the rack, it was about to tip when Chanyeol steadied it and said, "Baekhyun, what are you doing?"

"I don't feel like walking," Baekhyun said. Chanyeol rolled his eyes with a faint smile. "Yeah, but if you stand on the cart like that it'll be unbalanced and it could fall and you might get hurt."

"Then what are you proposing?" Baekhyun mumbled as he glanced up at Chanyeol. "Um, you could sit in the cart," Chanyeol muttered. Baekhyun contemplated this for a moment and said, "Okay," before hopped off the cart and climbing inside. Chanyeol bit his lip to keep from laughing and started to push the cart. Every so often Baekhyun would reach out his little hand and randomly grab something, and Chanyeol would smack him like a child and tell him no, causing Baekhyun to tuck his knees up to his chest and rest his arms on his knees and pout. Chanyeol just sighed at his dramatics and continued to grab all the necessary ingredients.

When they were close to being done with their shopping, Baekhyun noticed a woman who kept peering out of the corner of her eye at Chanyeol. It caused Baekhyun to squirm and glare at the woman. Then when she seemed to have worked up the nerve to approach them, Baekhyun jumped out of the cart.

"Excuse me," the woman said. "I don't normally do this but . . ."

"But— What?" Baekhyun asked, finally drawing the woman's attention as Baekhyun grabbed Chanyeol's hand.

"Oh, um, I-I'm sorry. I thought you were someone I knew. Excuse me," she said. She bowed awkwardly and hurriedly walked away.

"Byun Baekhyun," Chanyeol murmured softly. "Were you jealous of that woman?"

Baekhyun scoffed and said, "No, of course not, don't be stupid."

Chanyeol laughed and gently grabbed Baekhyun's chin with his thumb and forefinger. He didn't let go until Baekhyun met his gaze, and even then he didn't let go. "Baekhyun, sweet Baekhyun, you don't think I'd actually look at her, do you? Because it's you Baekhyun, and I don't think that's ever going to change."

Baekhyun smiled and leaned forward on his tiptoes to kiss Chanyeol as he whispered, "To bad we're not at home right now," before he closed the little distance between them with his lips. Baekhyun ran his hand from Chanyeol's grip all the all up into his hair. Baekhyun's fingers tightened in the curls at the nape of Chanyeol's neck as he pulled him closer. Chanyeol willingly followed Baekhyun's lead and wrapped one hand around his waist as his other hand gently but firmly cupped Baekhyun's cheek. When one of them let out that first moan, that's when they started to draw attention, and one of the stores workers approached them, saying, "Excuse me, s-sirs, but that kind of behavior isn't allowed."

Chanyeol wanted to say "Fuck your rules" then tell him where he could shove them, but he held his tongue and pulled back with an annoyed expression. "Okay, Baek, let's just pay for all of this and go home," Chanyeol said. Baekhyun nodded and followed after Chanyeol to one of the registers; both of them ignoring the stares. They quickly paid for the groceries and loaded them into the trunk of the car before driving home.

3rd p.o.v.

As soon as they pulled into the driveway Chanyeol ran to unlock the door before going back to the car to help Baekhyun with the bags. Chanyeol walked to the kitchen and started to put the groceries away, and leaving out the things he needed right away. Baekhyun came in a moment later with a bag in either hand and set them on the table as he started to put things away. Chanyeol pulled out a skillet from the cabinet and a glass bowl. He cut open the plastic wrapping protecting the two chicken breasts he had brought before putting them into the bowl with the mixture of salt and pepper and rubbed the spices into the raw meat.

"Hey, Baek?" Chanyeol said as he moved to wash his hands.

"Yeah?" Baekhyun mumbled. "Could you put a slice of butter into the pan over there," Chanyeol asked and gestured to the pan resting on the stove. "Sure," Baekhyun said before cutting off a tablespoon of butter and dropping it into the pan. Chanyeol let the butter melt before placing the two pieces of chicken into the pan. It started to sizzle as Chanyeol put some oil into a large pot, and turning it up to a medium temperature. Once it started to boil Chanyeol dropped in the garlic and ginger.

Baekhyun was moving around the chicken and checking the underside to see it was golden brown yet like it called for in the directions, and when he saw that it was he flipped each piece over to let the other side cook. Chanyeol diverted from his cooking for a moment and wrapping his arms around Baekhyun's waist, he rested his chin on Baekhyun's shoulder and kissed him beneath the ear. Baekhyun was very distracted as he tried to flip and check the chicken without accidentally burning himself. It was always hard for Baekhyun to focus with Chanyeol this close. Baekhyun sighed, giving in, and turned around in Chanyeol's arms as he wrapped his own arms around Chanyeol's neck and kissed him. Chanyeol smiled in triumph and kissed him back, even nipping at Baekhyun's bottom lip that insisted a soft moan from the latter.

Then when they started to smell something burning, Baekhyun pulled away, muttering, "Shit, shit," as he quickly shoved the skillet with the chicken into the already preheated oven to finish cooking the rest of the way. Even though it had smelled like it was burning, it was still undercooked in the center. "Damn, Chanyeol. I almost ruined perfectly good chicken because of you," Baekhyun scolded.

Chanyeol grinned. "Whoops. Sorry about that, Baek."

"Um-hmm, I'm sure you are," Baekhyun mumbled sarcastically. Chanyeol laughed and pecked Baekhyun on the lips. "Okay, I'm sorry Baek for almost ruining your chicken." Baekhyun smiled and said, "There, that's better. Good boy." Baekhyun patted Chanyeol's head and kissed his cheek, and Chanyeol just rolled his eyes in response. "Yah! Mind your hyung!" Baekhyun reprimanded. "Oh, don't even start that again," Chanyeol whined. Baekhyun just smacked him again as Chanyeol turned back to the food with another eye roll. He checked the garlic and ginger to see if it was soft before adding soy sauce and mirining, then stirring it all together.

A minute later Chanyeol added stock and covered the pot again to let it boil, then five more minutes later Chanyeol added the dry shiitake mushrooms and seasoned them with salt. Chanyeol pulled out another large pot and filled it with water, then dropped two large eggs into the water and waited for it to come to a boil. After eight minutes — the time spent happily showering every inch of Baekhyun exposed neck with kisses — the eggs where set and Chanyeol took them out of the boiling water and set them into ice cold water to stop them from continuing to cook. After five minutes passed, Chanyeol and Baekhyun proceeded to peel the the shell from the eggs and sliced them in half lengthwise. Once the chicken was done cooking and the noodles had finished boiling in their water, Chanyeol and Baekhyun started assembled the bowls of ramen, placing the chopped scallions, the now diced chicken, and egg halves into two large bowls. After almost an hour, their meal was finally finished, both Chanyeol and Baekhyun were very satisfied as they sat down and started to eat their meal.

Baekhyun sat across from Chanyeol at the table, quietly enjoying his food as he every so often felt Chanyeol's eyes on him. A blush slowly turned Baekhyun's cheeks scarlet from the scrutiny, and Baekhyun had started to squirm. Chanyeol noticed, and he decided to tease him.

"So, Baekhyun," Chanyeol said. "Do you remember earlier at school, and how Kyungsoo yelled at me . . .?" Chanyeol casually said.

Baekhyun glanced up innocently and mumbled, "Sorry, but I recall no such thing. I think you might have been hallucinating, Chan."

Chanyeol laughed and said, "How can you say that if you claim not to remember, Baek? Sorry, but to me, it sounds like you remember perfectly." Chanyeol glanced up at Baekhyun slyly and Baekhyun gulped as he stuttered, "C-Chanyeol, I don't—" Then Baekhyun ran from the room. Chanyeol chasing after him with a laugh.

Chanyeol caught Baekhyun in the living room and snaked his arms around his waist. Chanyeol kissed Baekhyun neck as he sighed in defeat and mumbled, "Okay, maybe I vaguely remember."

Chanyeol laughed and nuzzled his face into the crook of Baekhyun's neck. Baekhyun giggled at the sensation and twisted around in Chanyeol's arms, much like he'd done in the kitchen as they made dinner, and wrapped his arms around Chanyeol's neck.

The kiss started out innocent, a peck here and there, but then it started to grow in passion, and before they knew it their tongues were battling and Baekhyun had wrapped his legs around Chanyeol's waist as they clasped onto the couch. Baekhyun was gasping as he pulled at Chanyeol's shirt and yanked it over his head, Baekhyun's lips instantly finding the skin of his neck as his hands roamed across his stomach and started to move further south. Chanyeol groaned as his jeans started to tighten around his crouch and he picked up Baekhyun. Baekhyun's legs wrapped back around Chanyeol's waist as he carried him upstairs and dropped him onto the bed.

Chanyeol slide his hand across Baekhyun's stomach, pushing up the fabric until he had pulled it over Baekhyun's head. Chanyeol started to kiss across Baekhyun's stomach, and Baekhyun arched his back as he moaned and wrapped a leg around Chanyeol's hip.

Chanyeol suddenly turned eager as he pulled down his pants and boxers, Baekhyun doing the same, before they were crashing into each other again. Chanyeol lightly trailed his hand up Baekhyun's smooth leg, touching the inside of his thigh as Chanyeol tenderly kissed Baekhyun's inner thigh. Baekhyun groaned as his member became tight between his legs, and Chanyeol noticed his discomfort and moved to kiss Baekhyun's lips as he gently touched Baekhyun's shaft. Baekhyun groaned again and thrusted up into Chanyeol's hand. Chanyeol bit his lip to hold back his own groan and kissed Baekhyun again as he pulled out the lube he had recently bought and smeared some onto his fingers. He slowly pushed two fingers into Baekhyun as he gripped the sheets against the blissful pain. Chanyeol added another finger and started to scissor his fingers to stretch Baekhyun, as well as thrusting into him as he did. When Chanyeol hit Baekhyun's prostate, he caused a moan and instantly pulled his fingers out and started to lube up his member. He pumped it before slowly sliding inside Baekhyun, not giving him a chance to come as he began to thrust into him.

Baekhyun moaned against the sensation and wrapped a leg around Chanyeol's hip as Chanyeol thrusted further into him. Baekhyun placed a hand against Chanyeol's cheek as he pulled him down for a kiss. Chanyeol kissed Baekhyun hungrily as he thrusted into him again. Baekhyun slide his fingers up into Chanyeol's sweaty curls at the nape of his neck and kissed him more deeply. Chanyeol pecked Baekhyun's lips once more before trailing kisses across his neck and jaw, sucking and biting his skin until he left a trail of rose bud like bruises across his milky white skin.

Chanyeol thrusted into Baekhyun again, and as Chanyeol was kissing along Baekhyun's neck, Baekhyun whispered, "I want to try something." Chanyeol hummed in response and Baekhyun eased Chanyeol up until Baekhyun was straddled over Chanyeol's waist and Chanyeol was beneath Baekhyun.

Baekhyun pulled open the drawer again and pulled out the lube, he put some on his fingers and eased his way inside of Chanyeol. Chanyeol moaned and closed his eyes as Baekhyun kissed his stomach. Baekhyun added two more fingers as he stretched out Chanyeol, repeating the same process as Chanyeol, even leaving him with a throbbing erection that Baekhyun smirked at. Then he pulled his fingers out and pumped his member before almost eagerly slipping inside. Chanyeol groaned so loud and said, "Fuck, Baekhyun."

Baekhyun thrusted into Chanyeol again, trying his best to replicate Chanyeol's expert like maneuvers as he rocked into Chanyeol at a steady increasing pace. Chanyeol grabbed Baekhyun's hips as he thrusted into Chanyeol another time, and they both groaned at the contact.

"Ahhh, Baek," Chanyeol moaned. Baekhyun couldn't help but smirk because he was causing such a reaction. He thrusted into Chanyeol again, hitting his prostate and fully pushing his entire length inside him. Chanyeol groaned and his hands tightened around Baekhyun's hips. Baekhyun quickened his movements even more, hitting Chanyeol's prostate exactly each time. With another thrust, Baekhyun was releasing his seeds inside Chanyeol, even throwing his head back with a loud moan as he continued to ride off his climax.

With a moan of his own, Chanyeol was releasing against Baekhyun and himself. Baekhyun clasped onto the bed beside Chanyeol, his face slick with sweat. Chanyeol rolled onto his side and kissed Baekhyun's head. Then after cleaning each other off, Chanyeol laid back down and ran his fingers through Baekhyun's sweaty hair as he kissed his lips softly. Baekhyun kissed him back, then they pulled apart and Baekhyun laid his head against Chanyeol's chest. They were both asleep just moments later.

. . . .

Chanyeol's p.o.v.

The next morning Chanyeol woke up to the sound of a voice calling his name. At first Chanyeol thought it was Baekhyun, but then he noticed Baekhyun was tangled into the sheets next to him. So if it wasn't Baekhyun, who the hell was walking up the stairs and knocking on his door? Who the hell was pushing open his door!?

Shit! Neither of them had any clothes on because of the night before! Chanyeol quickly and clumsy gathered the blankets around them, making sure to be extra careful as he laid them across Baekhyun's sleeping form. He didn't want Baekhyun waking up to be filled with instant panic like Chanyeol was. The door pushed open, revealing two people that he hadn't been expecting — or more like completely forgot existed. Chanyeol jaw dropped as his mother said, "Sorry, Chan, but I just wanted to see you so much!" Chanyeol mother gushed in a loud enough voice to wake the sleeping puppy behind Chanyeol; the puppy let out a moan. Chanyeol internally groaned and thought, Fuck, Baek, seriously wrong timing!

Rubbing his eyes Baekhyun sat up sleepily and mumbled, "Chanyeol? Why are you talking to yourself?"

Chanyeol froze. His parents froze. Then after realizing the two extra people, Baekhyun froze. But he was also the first to unthaw as he gasped and dropped back down into the bed and simultaneously threw the covers over his head. The air became thick as Chanyeol looked everywhere but at his parents, and Chanyeol's parents couldn't look anywhere but at him.

"Chanyeol?" his father finally said in an even tone. Chanyeol still wouldn't look at him. "Chanyeol, we'll be downstairs. When you're ready, we need to talk to you." Then they left the room, sucking all the air out with them.

3rd p.o.v.

"Chanyeol?" Baekhyun mumbled from underneath the blanket. He still hadn't come out, even after Chanyeol's parents had left. "If I have to go home, I-I will." Baekhyun pulled back the blankets as he said, "I don't want to be the reason why you're parents can't accept you."

And as Baekhyun's words sunk in, Chanyeol jerked from his daze and lightly touched Baekhyun's cheek. Chanyeol was surprised he could still manage to be gently because his emotions were in such turmoil inside him, and Baekhyun's words were only making it worse.

"Baekhyun, if my parents can't accept me being with you, then I can't accept them."

Baekhyun gasped and stuttered as he said, "B-but Chanyeol, what will you do if they — if they can't accept you?"

Chanyeol furrowed his brow in contemplation, then muttered, "I could always go to my sister, Yoora, if she'll accept me that is . . ."

Baekhyun bit his lip and mumbled, "But what will happen to us?"

Chanyeol's eyes snapped up to meet Baekhyun's so fast a sharp pain split across the back of his eyelids and he groaned, rubbing his temple. "Chanyeol, are you okay?" Baekhyun asked, his face full of concern. "I'm okay," Chanyeol mumbled. "But Baek, the 'us' part, isn't going to stop even if my parents and my sister can't accept it. I would never let you go just to please them, and I don't care if that sounds selfish."

Baekhyun shook his head. "That's not selfish, that's love. And I can't ever imagine parting with you," Baekhyun whispered as he wrapped his arms around Chanyeol, the feeling of his skin against Baekhyun cheek like silk and a cleanser that banished every bad thought.

Chanyeol sighed and kissed the crown of Baekhyun's head. "I love you," Chanyeol whispered.

"I love you too," Baekhyun murmured.

Both boys dressed as quickly as they could, and with Baekhyun trailing behind Chanyeol, they descended the stairs with their stomaches full of nerves. They walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Chanyeol's parents were sitting in separate chairs positioned on Chanyeol's right. Baekhyun tried hiding behind Chanyeol, hoping in vain that if they couldn't see him they'd forget about why they were having a talk with their son.

But Baekhyun's hope was in vain as Chanyeol's father, Mr. Park, started to speak. "Chanyeol, son, is there something you want to tell us?" The real unspoken question being, Why was there a half-naked boy in your bed?

Chanyeol gulped and muttered, "Um, well, you see, Baekhyun and I—"

"His name is Baekhyun?" Mrs. Park asked.

Chanyeol rolled his eyes at her rudeness, but then felt a wave a shame for the lack of respect, even though she had just disrespected Baekhyun by talking as if he didn't even exist. She didn't even address him. Chanyeol instantly felt angry as he said through gritted teeth, "Yes, Baekhyun, and he's my boyfriend and we've been dating going on a month now."

Chanyeol's parent's eyes widened. Chanyeol's eyes widened. And Baekhyun sunk deeper into the couch as he resisted the urge to cover his face with his hands and hide.

"You're d-dating a boy?" Mr. Park asked in shock.

Chanyeol nodded and said, "Yes," his tone lax of his previous courage.

"How did this happen?" Mrs. Park asked, glancing between the two of them curiously.

Chanyeol bit his lip and glanced down at Baekhyun. God, even though his parents may possibly disown him, Chanyeol still couldn't help but find Baekhyun so utterly adorable as he practically squished himself into the cushions. Chanyeol leaned towards Baekhyun and kissed him, completely forgetting about his parents, as Baekhyun must have too in that moment because he reacted by instantly wrapping his arms around Chanyeol's neck to pull himself closer. It was only when Chanyeol heard his parent's clearing their throats behind him that he snapped back to his senses. A furious blush colored Baekhyun's cheeks as Chanyeol turned to face his parents after the sudden kiss. Now what will they think? Did I just make everything worse? Chanyeol thought as he reached down for Baekhyun's hand and laced their fingers together in Chanyeol's lap. Baekhyun sighed, not seeming to care anymore as he leaned his forehead against Chanyeol's shoulder and closed his eyes, waiting to hear the news now after they just kissed in front of Chanyeol's parents.

"Okay, we accept Baekhyun as your boyfriend," Mr. Park said, his words causing both boys eyes to widen in disbelief and for them to both shout, "What!? Are you serious?" and "Oh my God!"

Chanyeol's mother smiled and muttered, "We were skeptic, but then we saw the way Chanyeol looked at you, Baekhyun, and we couldn't take that away from him." Baekhyun felt tears pool in his eyes and he mumbled, "Mrs. Park, thank you so much, you have no idea how grateful I am!" Then without so much as a second thought, Baekhyun got up and hugged both of them. Both Mr. and Mrs. Park gasped from the unexpected hug, but they hugged Baekhyun back just the same, small smiles on both their faces.

After Chanyeol and Baekhyun got back from school later that day, Chanyeol's parents announced that as a celebration for finally coming home, they had decided to go to dinner and invited Chanyeol and Baekhyun along with them. It was when Baekhyun was walking to the kitchen that he heard the real reason they wanted to go to dinner and invited their son and his boyfriend, and it made Baekhyun beam with happiness as he dashed back to the living room and jumped on top of Chanyeol for a death-grip-like hug. Baekhyun kissed Chanyeol passionately as Chanyeol just reacted. Chanyeol was confused why Baekhyun was suddenly so happy, but then again, Chanyeol's parents had accepted both of them, so what wasn't there to be happy about? Chanyeol smiled against Baekhyun's lips and kissed him back, finding Baekhyun's enthusiasm contagious.

. . . .

Chanyeol's p.o.v.

Later that evening, Baekhyun was taking forever in the bathroom. He said he had wanted to look nice for Chanyeol's parents and ended up taking a armful of various different clothes into the bathroom. Chanyeol had said Baekhyun was acting like a girl and Baekhyun had just flipped him off in response, making Chanyeol laugh, now it has been almost an hour since Baekhyun went into the bathroom and he still hasn't come back out yet.

Chanyeol groaned in frustration and dropped back onto the bed. He pulled a pillow over his head and mumbled into the fabric, "Baek, are you ready yet?"

"Don't rush me!" Baekhyun yelled back. Chanyeol just laughed and fully crawled onto the bed. He laid down with the pillow over his head as he wanted.

After another moment, Chanyeol heard the bathroom door click open and he pulled the pillow off his face as he turned to look at Baekhyun. Baekhyun was wearing light-blue skinny jeans and a white knitted sweater, with sleeves that reached halfway past his hands. And his natural black hair had been dyed a honey-blonde and it was a slight mess, but a sexy mess.

(A/N: Baekhyun's new hair color and the sweatshirt. Imagine he's wearing pants.)

Baekhyun had also put eyeliner on, and it brought out the beautiful browns of his eyes and made them appear bigger.

Chanyeol couldn't speak. Baekhyun just looked so absolutely perfect. Chanyeol couldn't find the right words to describe him, he had been beautifully gorgeous before, and now . . .

Chanyeol sat up on the bed and bit his lip. Fuck, why did he have to be so tempting? Chanyeol thought as he stood up and wrapped his arms tightly around Baekhyun's waist. He kissed Baekhyun's temple and murmured against his skin, "You're so beautiful, Baekhyun, and you're a horrible tease." Chanyeol pulled back and saw that Baekhyun was biting his bottom lip with an almost mischievous gleam in his eye. Chanyeol laughed. "What's that look for?"

Baekhyun leaned closer and stood up on his tiptoes as he whispered, "I'll be your temptress."

"Baekhyun, you are so tempting."

Baekhyun just grinned and kissed Chanyeol's lips until Chanyeol's parents were calling up to them, asking if they were ready. They broke apart regretfully and walked down the stairs hand-in-hand.

3rd p.o.v.

They went to ON or Oen, a western restaurant along the Han River that showcased the concept of a Yacht Club. The first floor was a bar and dinning area, and the upper level was a bistro café.

They choose foods from the Course D menu, that included: appetizers, soup, salad, pasta, tenderloin steak, lobster tail, dessert, and coffee/tea. Both Chanyeol and Baekhyun ordered classic tea, and Mr. and Mrs. Park ordered wine, and they all agreed on an appetizer. They were looking through the menu when Mrs. Park lowered hers and asked, "So, how did you two meet? Is it a romantic story?"

Chanyeol choked on his tea and Baekhyun flushed red as Chanyeol's father said, "Honey, don't embarrass the boys." Mrs. Park blushed and bowed her head in apology before saying, "Excuse me, sorry if I sounded too start forward, but I'm only curious. And I've never know Chanyeol to be the romantic type."

Chanyeol blushed furiously and cried, "Mom!"

"Sorry honey, but do you mind telling us? I'm just dying of curiosity," Mrs. Park said.

"Um, actually, mom it wasn't a romantic encount—"

"Mrs. Park," Baekhyun said, diverting her attention to him and cutting off Chanyeol. Baekhyun gave Chanyeol a side glance, then he dove into the story of their first meeting. "I had actually been walking to my first class when I ran into your son. I hadn't been paying attention to my surroundings when I smacked into him, that I actually fall down onto the floor!"

Mrs. Park covered her hand with her mouth, hiding an amused smile before she said, "Did Chanyeol offer to help you up like a gentlemen?" Then she looked at her son with a proud expression, but Baekhyun's next words had it slipping away. "No, actually he yelled in my face," Baekhyun said bluntly. Chanyeol mentally face-palmed as his mother turned to him and half-shouted out of astonishment, "You yelled at him!?" Mrs. Park looked like she wanted to smack her son, but since they were in a public place she couldn't, but later she vowed to give him a good whack on the head.

Now Chanyeol actually did smack his forehead as he said, "But—"

"It's okay, Mrs. Park, I love him regardless," Baekhyun said as he glanced at Chanyeol with a smile.

Mrs. Park's eyes became misty as she hiccuped, "You two are in love?"

Chanyeol tore his gaze from Baekhyun to address his mother as he said, "Yes, I love him," before he was glancing back at Baekhyun with a loving smile. Baekhyun smiled and leaned forward to kiss Chanyeol's cheek and whispered in his ear, "I love you too." Chanyeol smiled and lightly touched Baekhyun's chin to angle his face toward him as Chanyeol gently kissed Baekhyun on the lips.

Chanyeol's mother sighed as she whispered, "Awe, so precious."

A little while later the waiter came back, Chanyeol and his father both ordered a tenderloin steak, Baekhyun ordered a pasta with seafood along with a side salad, and Mrs. Park ordered a lobster tail with a small side pasta.

Chanyeol's and his father's dinner

Baekhyun's dinner

Mrs. Park's dinner

   
As Baekhyun had been telling the waiter what he wanted, Chanyeol noticed the way he looked at Baekhyun, and even when he turned away to take everyone else's order, the waiter still kept glancing at Baekhyun. Chanyeol started to become very frustrated, because for one, Chanyeol couldn't exactly do anything, and for two, they were currently in a very prestigious restaurant. So maybe if he held Baekhyun's hand in plain sight on top of the table . . .?

Chanyeol reached for Baekhyun's hand and clasped it tightly into his, he kissed the back of Baekhyun's palm. The waiter noticed, and from his peripheral vision Chanyeol say him roll his eyes. Chanyeol internally groaned and thought, What the fuck!? Back off!

"Excuse me," the waiter said as he . . . looked . . . directly . . . at . . . Baekhyun. "Would you want to go out sometime?"

Chanyeol's jaw dropped and Baekhyun's eyes widened in surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Park just sat there in silent shock as their gazes flickered between Baekhyun and the waiter, the waiter and Chanyeol, and then back again.

"Ah, I-I'm already in a relationship," Baekhyun said then glanced over at Chanyeol before glancing back at the waiter, who face had fallen do to Baekhyun's words. "Sorry?" Baekhyun said. Chanyeol turned his head into his shoulder and bit his lip to hold back a smile. It'd be rude if Chanyeol smiled, but then again this guy just tried asked out his boyfriend right in front of him and he didn't even seem ashamed.

Chanyeol glanced up at Baekhyun after the waiter had left and he muttered, "Baekhyun, I don't like feeling possessive and jealous, so could you do me a favor and walk around with a bag over your head whenever we go somewhere so I don't have to worry about people hitting on you?"

Baekhyun's jaw dropped and he smacked Chanyeol's arm as he cried, "Yah! What about that women at the grocery store!? You're just going to have to deal it, Park Chanyeol."

Chanyeol groaned. "Fine, but only because you should never hide that beautiful face of yours."

Baekhyun leaned forward and murmured, "Then why did you just suggest that I put a bag over my head?"

"Because you're so damn sexy," Chanyeol said, completely forgetting where they were and who they were sitting with until Chanyeol's father cleared his throat. Chanyeol snapped out of his daze and glanced at his parents with a furious blush as he muttered, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad," but then Chanyeol's embarrassment wore off as he continued by saying, "But you have to agree Baekhyun is beautiful."

Baekhyun smacked his arm and cried, "Yah! Chanyeol! Shut up!" Chanyeol shook his head. "Never, Baek, so you should just learn to accept it." Baekhyun rolled his eyes. "Learn to accept me putting my foot up your ass later," Baekhyun mumbled too low for Chanyeol's parents ears to hear.

The rest of their night went by smoothly and both couples were so blissfully happy, and for dessert Chanyeol and Baekhyun ordered a slice a chocolate cake with strawberries and other little fruits on the side,

they also ordered two coffees and told their waiter — someone new — to serve it to them upstairs on top of the Yacht Club-like restaurant's balcony. The waiter assured them he would, then Chanyeol and Baekhyun were excusing themselves to go outside to the balcony. When they reached the topmost level of the restaurant, Chanyeol directed Baekhyun to a table towards the back near the edge of the balcony so they could gaze out over the water.

As they were looking at the reflective glow of the lights across the water and observing the distant thriving city, Baekhyun mumbled, "It's so quiet and beautiful up here." Chanyeol agreed with a sigh and murmured, "Yeah, it really is."

"I'm so happy your parents accepted me," Baekhyun muttered.

"I'm beyond happy, Baek. You know we could have had this sooner if you had been listening to what I had said that day in gym class, when I walked over to talk to you," Chanyeol murmured as he wrapped his arm around Baekhyun's waist and kissed the side of his head. "I asked you out on a date that day, Baekhyun, but you didn't even hear me." Baekhyun's eyes widened and he turned to look at Chanyeol. "Are you serious?" Baekhyun asked in astonishment. "I'm very serious," Chanyeol replied. "Fuck," Baekhyun muttered. "Next time I give you permission to shake me back to the present." Chanyeol laughed, and Baekhyun smiled and kissed Chanyeol's cheek. "Sorry about that, by the way," Baekhyun whispered. "It's okay, I have you now and that's enough," Chanyeol whispered. They stood near the edge of the balcony a moment longer, either of them needing to talk, and only went to sit down when their waiter had brought their dessert and coffees.

They sat across from each other at a circular table, taking turns feeding each other pieces of the delectable cake. Chanyeol picked up one of the strawberries and ran it through some chocolate leftover on the plate, and he laid it lightly on Baekhyun's tongue as Baekhyun smiled and ate the strawberry. Baekhyun ran his index-finger through some of the chocolate and spread it across Chanyeol's lips before leaning forward to lick and kiss it off.

Unable to help himself, Chanyeol tangled a hand into Baekhyun's newly dyed honey-blonde hair, holding him closer to deepen the kiss. Baekhyun smiled and wrapped an arm around Chanyeol's neck to match his passion. After kissing and enjoying more of the scenery, Chanyeol and Baekhyun went back to the dining area to rejoin the Park's for the rest of the evening, and after another half an hour of reminiscing, they were paying their check and driving home.

As they drew closer to the Park's place of residency, Mrs. Park suddenly turned around and addressed Baekhyun when she said, "Oh, Baekhyun, honey. Sorry, but we almost completely forgot we had to take you home." Mrs. Park chuckled and muttered, "It's as if your already apart of the family."

Baekhyun's cheeks grew warm at that, but then her words started to register and Baekhyun glanced at Chanyeol in alarm. Chanyeol mentally face-palmed as he said, "Oh right, I forgot to mention that . . . Baekhyun has been staying at our house."

Mrs. Park's eyes widened and Mr. Park asked, "Why is that?"

Chanyeol was about to answer when Baekhyun beat him to it as he said, "My father has been away on business, and my mother pasted away when I was younger, so it's just me at the house for the moment and I'm uncomfortable living there alone."

Mrs. Park nodded and smiled kindly as she said, "Well, that can be a hard thing to adjust to, but I don't think it'd be appropriate . . ."

"Mom, Baekhyun's been staying at the house for a month and a half now," Chanyeol said without thinking.

"He has!?" Mr. Park asked in . . . Really, it was hard to tell what emotion was more dominant at the moment: anger, shock, confusion. Chanyeol and Baekhyun weren't sure.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys before," Chanyeol muttered. "But can Baekhyun please continue to stay with us?" Chanyeol was practically pleading now.

His parents exchanged glances before looking at the both of them. "Chanyeol, honey, it really isn't appropriate," Mrs. Park said. Chanyeol's heart dropped, but then she continued by saying, "Although, I guess if Baekhyun's been living at the house that long now, and you guys . . ." Mrs. Park sighed. "Okay, Baekhyun can stay," she finally caved.

Chanyeol felt like jumping around in excitement, much like a kid on Christmas, but the fact that he was sitting in a car and would bust his head against the ceiling kept him from doing so. He just settled for a wide grin and kissing Baekhyun with a little too much passion, that if they would have been alone, would diffidently of escalated. Before Baekhyun could release an embarrassing moan in front of Chanyeol's parents, he pulled away with a glare and muttered only for Chanyeol's ears, "Freaking giant, you can't do things like that when I can't take advantage of it." Chanyeol just laughed in response and pulled Baekhyun into his side as he wrapped an arm around Baekhyun's shoulders. Baekhyun huffed in annoyance but settled his head against Chanyeol's chest as he laced their fingers together with a faint smile.

. . . .

Baekhyun's p.o.v.

Later that night, Baekhyun was in the shower and when he walked out, he couldn't find Chanyeol anywhere. Frowning, Baekhyun continued to rub the towel through his damp hair and sat on the bed. He pulled out the school work he had received earlier at school from his backpack and got to work. Baekhyun hadn't been watching the clock, but almost an hour later Chanyeol finally opened the door with a sheepish expression and mumbled, "Sorry, I was helping my parents with something."

Baekhyun just huffed and turned his back to the giant, he heard Chanyeol laugh at his actions from behind him, making Baekhyun cross his arms and exhale a every frustrated breath.

"Baekhyun . . ." Chanyeol murmured as Baekhyun felt the bed dip and Chanyeol lightly touched his back. Baekhyun huffed again and scooted away from the giant, his arms still crossed over his chest. "Baekhyun, are you ignoring me?" Chanyeol asked in an amused tone. Now Baekhyun dropped face-down onto the bed, with his head buried in one of the pillows as he cried in muffled voice, "No!"

Chanyeol laughed and said, "Oh, you are so ignoring me." Baekhyun felt Chanyeol touch his waist, probably preparing to turn Baekhyun over so Chanyeol could see his face, and because of that, Baekhyun quickly pulled the blankets over his head and crawled to the end of the bed. He was trying to escape without seeing Chanyeol's beautiful face, but when he felt Chanyeol's hand grab his ankle and yank him back, Baekhyun gasped. He still had the blanket covering his whole body, so he couldn't see when Chanyeol got ready to jump on him, and he didn't expect it when Chanyeol was suddenly on him.

Baekhyun yelped in surprise and tried to wiggle free, but he was trapped beneath the blanket. Great, Baekhyun, now you're stuck, he thought.

"Yah! Freaking giant! Get off me!" Baekhyun yelled, not caring if Chanyeol's parents heard him. "No," Chanyeol replied stubbornly. Baekhyun exhaled in frustration and wiggled around underneath the blanket until he found Chanyeol's side, then he poked him with his finger and Chanyeol yelped and jumped, giving Baekhyun a chance to escape his blanket prison. He fell off the end of the bed, not realizing he was at the edge, before hurriedly running towards the bathroom. But Chanyeol was faster, and he seized Baekhyun around the waist. Baekhyun shrieked and Chanyeol laughed. He dropped Baekhyun down into the bed and pinned his wrists above his head and sat on his waist.

Baekhyun tried squirming away, and when that didn't work, he settled for simply saying, "Chanyeol, do you realize how kinky this is? I mean, now all you need is a pair of handcuffs and you're set."

Chanyeol leaned down to Baekhyun's neck, his lips hovering above his skin, tickling him as Chanyeol whispered, "Don't tempt me, Baek." Baekhyun rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fuck. Does anything I say anymore faze you?" Chanyeol laughed and nuzzled Baekhyun with his nose as he kissed and sucked the skin along Baekhyun's jaw and neck. "Um, Baek," Chanyeol hummed. Baekhyun kicked Chanyeol in the butt with his knee and said, "Yah! Stop that! You're going to give me an erection, you kinky freaking giant."

Chanyeol rolled off of Baekhyun and said, "Fine, I'm going to shower." Baekhyun picked up a pillow and threw it at Chanyeol as he yelled, "Good! You smell." Chanyeol just laughed as he shut the door. Baekhyun huffed and dropped back onto the bed, then he felt a tightening in his jeans and he muttered, "Fuck." Baekhyun groaned and rolled onto his face as he tried to rid himself of the sensation.
