Chanyeol was sitting at his desk, twiddling with his pen between his thumb and forefinger as his mind drifted. He wanted to ask Baekhyun about last night, and knew he couldn't continue to procrastinate, so inhaling a deep breath he stood up from his desk to search for Baekhyun.

❄️ ❄️ ❄️

Baekhyun was in the copy room —- one of his favorite rooms in the whole building —- when someone walked in with a small stack of papers. Baekhyun smiled at them thinly; and they returned it with one of their own. Another moment passed, and then Baekhyun asked, "Did you recently start working here?"

They nodded and smiled as they said, "Yes, I'm Xi Luhan." He said before holding out his hand; Baekhyun shook it with a small smile.

"I'm Byun Baekhyun, and if you ever—-"

"Wait! Did you just say your name was Byun Baekhyun?" Luhan asked.

Baekhyun frowned confusedly as he muttered, "Um, yes . . ."

Luhan laughed nervously and muttered, "Oh my gosh, I just . . . I met Chanyeol, and I'm friends with his sister and she tried to convince me to date your boyfriend." Luhan laughed.

Baekhyun's eyes widened, before they narrowed and he pursed his lips, his arms folded across his chest as he said, "Ooh, did she now?" Baekhyun asked as he took a step forward. "And what, you're here to steal him away from me now, because let me just say—-"

"Baekhyun!" Chanyeol's sudden voice gasped.

Baekhyun blinked and his eyes shot up to Chanyeol, he smiled for a moment before he remembered he was mad, and then he yelled, "Chanyeol, did you know Yoora sent someone to break us up!?"

Chanyeol gulped, and he cautiously stepped forward with his hands raised as he said, "Yes, but I—-"

"You knew! Why didn't you tell me?" Baekhyun demanded angrily.

"Because I didn't want you to worry or get upset, like you're doing now! I'm trying to find a peaceful and even ground because all this stress isn't good for you and the baby, I'm just trying
to—-"

"No!" Baekhyun shouted. "Don't use our baby as an excuse not to tell me something because you're afraid of stressing me out! Because newsflash genius, not telling me stresses me out!"

Chanyeol cringed, and tried touching Baekhyun's shoulders as he said, "Baekhyun, please, calm—-"

Baekhyun immediately wrenched his arm away as he cried, "Don't tell me to calm down, Park Chanyeol! I swear, I will hit you if you tell me to 'calm down'!"

Chanyeol sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Baekkie, forgive me?" Chanyeol asked as he tried grabbing Baekhyun's hand.

Baekhyun just huffed and pulled away as he glanced at Luhan before curtly saying, "Sorry you had to see us fight, but if you even dare to touch my man, I'll break your fingers." Baekhyun said threateningly before stalking out of the room, and sucking all the oxygen out with him.

It was a tense moment of silence before Luhan exhaled a shakly breath. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble. I—-"

"It's okay," Chanyeol said, cutting him off with a smile. "He's not normally like that, he's just—-"

"Hormonal and pregnant?" Luhan offered.

Chanyeol chuckled and rubbed the nape of his neck as he muttered, "Yeah . . . sorry."

Luhan smiled and waved off Chanyeol's apology as he said, "No need, I get it. I'll try not to get you in trouble anymore. Bye, Chanyeol." Luhan smiled thinly before slipping out of the room, deciding to make his paper copies on a different floor.

Baekhyun plopped down at his desk with a huff, and angrily stared at his computer screen before getting back to his feet. He couldn't sit still, so he decided to go for a walk to cool off. He was rounding a corner when he smacked into a very warm and solid chest. His feet tripped out from underneath him, and he would have fallen flat on his ass hadn't it been for a strong and familiar hand darting out to catch him.

Baekhyun gasped, and he glanced up at Chanyeol with a furrowed brow. His bottom lip began to wobble and he cried, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you! I'm sorry!" He wrapped his arms around Chanyeol's waist and buried his face into his shirt as he mumbled, "I think I just snapped because of everything that's been going on with Yoora, Sehun, my parents and Baekbeom, little bean and you, I just . . ." Baekhyun trailed off with a sigh, and held onto Chanyeol tighter as he murmured. "Sorry . . ."

Chanyeol smiled and hugged Baekhyun back just as tightly as he softly replied, "It's okay, love. You don't need to apologize, I completely understand. Which is also why, um, last night you said something and I . . ." Chanyeol trailed off.

Baekhyun lifted his head and peeked up at Chanyeol as he muttered, "You mean, when I asked you to move in with me? I meant that, Chanyeol, but if you think it's too soon then we can just—-"

Baekhyun's sentence was cut short by the warm pressure of Chanyeol's lips against his own. Baekhyun hummed in surprise, but happily kissed him back and wound his arms around Chanyeol's waist. Chanyeol softly pecked Baekhyun's lips once more before quietly muttering, "I don't think it's too soon, I want to move in with you, and I'll be able to help you more."

Baekhyun smiled. "So you don't think I'm asking too much?"

Chanyeol laughed and gently caressed Baekhyun's cheek as he replied, "Sweet Baekhyun, you may be carrying my baby and you're asking if moving in is too much too fast? I think we already hit the too much too fast button that first night we slept together, wouldn't you agree?"

Baekhyun laughed. "I guess so, but I just want to be sure . . ."

Chanyeol smiled. "I love you, Baekhyun, and I plan on binding myself to you in every way possible so moving in together now just means we get to skip a step later. And besides, I'll love waking up next to you every morning."

Baekhyun bit his bottom lip and smiled before throwing his arms around Chanyeol's neck; he kissed him furiously, before regretfully, he had to get back to work.
