seonghwa drew gentle circles on hongjoong's chest as he gazed at his face while he was sound asleep. his lips were formed into a pout, his hair dishevelled and his breath was slow-- he just looked so peaceful, seonghwa didn't have the heart to wake him up. his chest rose up and down slowly, and his long eyelashes sat against his face, making him look so innocent-- seonghwa wondered if he was staring at an angel that fell from the sky. 

however, it had been a few hours since the sun had risen and unfortunately seonghwa was starving. the male carefully got off the bed and walked towards the large window in his bedroom. he pulled the curtains open, the sun casting a bright glow inside and illuminating against hongjoong. he looked beautiful basking in the sunlight-- his beautiful skin glowing.

his eyes slowly fluttered open, his face scrunching up at the bright sunlight that attacked him. through blurry eyes he was able to make out a figure that laid down next to him.

"good morning, sleepy head~" seonghwa wished softly as he tucked a strand of hair behind the male's ear. he gazed at the way hongjoong's nose crinkled and the way he groaned at the sun hitting him directly. every little detail about hongjoong was the most beautiful thing seonghwa had seen.

"what's the time?" he asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes with his fist.

"it's almost nine," seonghwa replied as he turned away from the clock on the table next to his bedside.

the redhead suddenly got up, his eyes wide and panicking.

"yechan! he has school!" he said as he shuffled around the bed, searching for his phone everywhere. on his bedside table, on the bed, in the drawers and in the non existent pockets of his shorts too

"hey, it's sunday! calm down," seonghwa held hongjoong down with his body before he placed a kiss on the male's forehead.

"oh." he muttered, his bottom lip jutting out to a pout, making seonghwa smile at the expression.

"yechan is with san, he's having a fun time dont worry, i heard wooyoung is there too. he will be fine, joongie."

hongjoong realized-- for the first time in seven years, that he didn't have to currently put up a mature image of a father, he didn't have a little one to take care of and he could be himself without worrying about making himself look like a bad father.

sure, he loved being a father and he absolutely loved taking care of his son, he was his entire life after all. however, he wished he could have some days to himself, without having all these worries to himself, without worrying if yechan ate or if he was fine. he could finally be like his free, 18 year old self that didn't have a care about shit in his life.

and seonghwa being much older than him didn't help much, he felt safe and comfortable around the male, as if he was constantly wrapped in a fuzzy warm blanket at all times.

"im hungry," he whined as he turned his head to face seonghwa, the male's beautiful face immediately intimidating him-- he blinked a few times. god fuck, he forgot genuinely how gorgeous seonghwa was, his disheveled platinum locks of hair along with his plump lips and his skin against the morning sunlight, he was ethereal.

"shit fuck, you're beautiful," he whispered before seonghwa giggled and buried his face into hongjoong's neck, his ears beet red as a shade of red tinted his cheeks.

"don't say random shit like that at nine in the morning!" the male said as he kicked his feet under the white sheets.

hongjoong pressed his lips against seonghwa's and pulled the male as close to him as he could. he didn't taste the best first thing in the morning yet it was the most intimate thing that could happen to him in that very moment. just like before, firecrackers burst everywhere around him and butterflies bashed around in his tummy like maniacs. was this what it felt like to wake up next to the person you actually loved?

his small fingers found their way into the older male's hair, his fingers tugging it as he  pulled himself closer to the male, wishing he could merge himself with him.

before they could go any further, seonghwa's tummy loudly grumbled, causing them to pull away and look at each other awkwardly.

hongjoong giggled.

"im hungry too," the other mumbled, a smile decorated his lips.

a silence.

"okay! breakfast time!" hongjoong exclaimed before he got off the bed and sprinted out of the bedroom faster than the speed of light.

seonghwa loved this man so fucking much, and he couldn't wait to spend more time with him.
