The first thing he felt was warmth and unconsciously pulled closer to the heat source. He heard someone chuckle softly and his lips curled into a small smile. He opened his eyes to find that Kyuhyun was already wide-awake, staring back at him.

  “Good morning, how was your sleep?” Kyuhyun asked, a hint of mirth in his voice.

  He playfully narrowed his eyes, “is there something I should know about?” Immediately he started to internally worry if he had perhaps said something embarrassing in his sleep. He hadn’t slept in the same bed as someone- in let’s just say a very long time, so he wasn’t sure what his sleeping habits were.

   “No, everything’s perfect. I was just thinking that we make a pretty good pair, I like cuddling with you because your body is cooler against my skin.”

  Ryeowook smiled, he rather loved the fact that Kyuhyun was always warm. His embrace was probably one of the most comforting things he could think of. “You are the perfect heater,” he said, pecking him on the lips. Then he remembered he never returned his boyfriends greeting, “Good morning”, he said kissing his boyfriend’s lips again.

Kyuhyun laughed, “thanks, you’re the perfect cooler,” he offered after pulling away from the other’s lips.

Ryeowook sighed dramatically, “I know I am.”

 “I take it back, my air conditioner is the perfect cooler,” the other said laughing.

Ryeowook smacked him on the shoulder lightly, “you’re mean!”

 “And my air conditioner doesn’t smack me” Kyuhyun continued in between laughs.

Ryeowook suddenly stopped attacking his lover and smiled, a glint of mischief in his eyes. Instead, he straddled his lover and began trailing kisses down his neck.

  “Does your air conditioner do this?”  

  Kyuhyun groaned, “no it doesn’t”, before pulling the other into a long kiss.

  They stayed in that position for a couple of minutes, just leisurely kissing each other, enjoying the fact that they had the whole day to spend together.

  When Ryeowook finally pulled away, Kyuhyun smiled, “you officially fail the cooling test.”

  He laughed, “why? I thought that would boost my score?”

  “Make-out sessions do not help people cool down, in fact they do the opposite.”

 He gave his best innocent look, “oh really? I didn’t realize that….”

  Kyuhyun just gave him a knowing look and kissed him softly, “you’re evil.”

  Ryeowook giggled, “just a little?”

  Kyuhyun groaned, “I want you so bad and someone’s making it very difficult for me to not just abandon all of my resolve to take you right now.”

  He smiled shyly, “I don’t mind if all of your resolve goes…”

 His lover smiled so gently at him that he almost forgot to breathe for a minute, Kyuhyun kissed his cheek, “if we weren’t meeting my parents tonight, I wouldn’t hesitate, but I don’t want you hurting during the dinner.”

  And that’s all it really took for Ryeowook’s eyes to water, he didn’t even notice that tears were forming until he felt familiar fingers wipe away the tears.

  “What’s wrong? Are you upset?” Kyuhyun asked, concern lacing his voice.

  Ryeowook quickly shook his head and hugged the other. Kyuhyun immediately enveloped the smaller into his arms.

  “Are you alright?” Kyuhyun asked again, the concern still evident.

  Ryeowook nodded his head, slightly embarrassed that he had cried, “they were happy tears. Thank you for looking out for me Kyu.”

  Kyuhyun kissed his cheek, “always. Are you hungry?”

  Ryeowook suddenly heard a familiar growl and laughed, “I guess you are?”

Kyuhyun blushed slightly, “I suppose my stomach has made its morning debut hasn’t it?”

  “Do you think your stomach can hold on until we get to my apartment? Your fridge doesn’t have much in terms of breakfast, so if we go to my apartment I can fix us something.”

  “Are you sure you want to cook, we can go out if you want?”

  “Has my cooking gotten boring already?” he asked with a pout.

  Kyuhyun’s eyes went wide, “Are you kidding? I adore your food! In fact, given the opportunity I would probably eat it everyday, but I get worried that you push yourself too hard and you’re still planning on making a dessert for my parents, so Im n…”

  Ryeowook didn’t let him finish that that thought and shut him up with a kiss. And after a while pulled away, “you’re right, kissing you is the most effective way to get you to stop talking,” he teased.

  Kyuhyun grinned, “feel free to use it whenever.”

  Ryeowook ignored his lover’s flirtatious behavior and addressed the concern previously said, “don’t worry about me cooking this morning. I had a really good rest last night and I really want to cook breakfast for you. Plus, it’s not good to eat out constantly! You have no clue how much fat or sugar they’re putting into something. If I cook I know exactly what’s going in and how much of it is going in, and it’s way more economical to…”

  Ryeowook didn’t get to finish his lecture because Kyuhyun decided that he had heard enough. And more importantly he just wanted to kiss the other again.

  “So does that mean I get to cook?” Ryeowook said panting.

  Kyuhyun laughed, “As long as you feel up to it, Im not going to say anything.”

  Ryeowook cheered and scrambled up and Kyuhyun whined from the loss of contact.

  His petite lover laughed, “If I stay here any longer, we’re not going to get out of this bed," and with that he walked into master bathroom.

  Kyuhyun rolled over and saw that Ryeowook had left the door open to the bathroom. He watched in amusement as the smaller began washing his face, somehow the image reminded him of a rabbit cleaning their face.

  He smiled at the thought and decided he should get dressed and also wash up, so they could get on with their day.

  They were now in Kyuhyun’s car headed to his apartment, Ryeowook had already placed an order for a bouquet of peonies and they had made a quick stop at the grocery store so he could pick up some things he needed for making breakfast and for the tart. Ryeowook sat happily looking at his bags of groceries, pleased that he was able to find everything he needed to make for his fruit tart.

   He then looked over at Kyuhyun who was humming along to a tune playing on one of his favorite radio stations. He smiled, he loved that they had the same music preferences and whenever Kyuhyun sang, it never failed to liven his mood or make him fall into a trance for that matter.

   When they pulled up to the apartment complex, Kyuhyun looked a bit overwhelmed. Ryeowook directed him to parking-which could be a bit tricky since parking was in high demand and spaces were limited. But eventually they managed to find a space. Once they both got out of the car Ryeowook took the chance to grab his backpack from the backseat and saw Kyuhyun’s backpack next to his, so he brought the other’s out as well. He then remembered to grab the couple of grocery bags too, so he went back to the front seat. With his arms and back full, he walked over to his tall boyfriend who was looking at the apartment complex with awe.

  “I don’t know how you can gush over my place when you live here!” Kyuhyun said, carefully taking the grocery bags out of Ryeowook’s hands.

  Ryeowook looked at him and laughed, “thank you, although I moved here only 2 years ago.”

  Kyuhyun kissed him on the cheek, “Somehow, when Hyuk was telling me how gorgeous your place was, I wasn't thinking so much about it, but I guess I should have figured that you would be living in one of the trendiest places in the city...”

   Ryeowook laughed again, carrying their backpacks and dragged the other into the renovated loft apartment complex.

KPOV

   While Kyuhyun knew that Ryeowook lived in once of the nicer areas, he had no clue that his boyfriend lived in one of the most modern sought after apartment complexes. He was starting to figure out that his boyfriend didn’t do anything half-assed, which he somehow found slightly comical.

  As soon as they entered the loft, Ryeowook set down both backpacks and took the groceries from Kyuhyun so he could store the food away properly in the kitchen. When he finished putting away the groceries, he handed Kyuhyun a pair of slippers he could use when walking in the loft. He noticed that the slippers seemed brand new and fit perfectly, which made him wonder if Ryeowook had been anticipating him coming over.

  Kyuhyun found himself gaping like a fish at the space. And while Ryeowook’s loft wasn’t particularly high off the ground, the inside certainly made up for that. To say that is was stunning would be an understatement. The first floor had one of the nicest kitchens he had seen, full of equipment he had no clue how to operate.

   Interspersed between the stainless steel appliances, he had chosen bamboo cupboards and bamboo countertops. The kitchen had a beautiful island with bar stools underneath the island’s countertop. A touch of whimsy was thrown in with the lights, they almost looked like upside down transparent mini balloons. There were multiple windows in the kitchen, which also helped brighten the space.

   The kitchen led into a spacious living room that screamed Ryeowook and Kyuhyun absolutely loved it. While the furniture was modern, the couches and the chairs were clearly cushy, which guaranteed that they would be comfortable. He couldn’t help but smile at seeing a deep purple suede chair sitting comfortably near a nice little bookshelf that held a couple of books and a few small wooden giraffe statues. A beautiful sectional couch and two other chairs were arranged in such a way so that they could all face the projector that was hanging on one of the walls.

  He felt a hand slip into his. He turned to see Ryeowook smiling up at him.

  “You seriously could have been an interior designer,” he said to the other.

  The smaller giggled, “no way, I was ready to tear my hair out by the time I finished decorating, it took me a year to get everything laid out like it is right now…”

  “Totally worth it,” he replied.

Ryeowook laughed, “I’m not sure you wanted to meet me when I was still redecorating the place, I think Hae and Hyuk were ready to skin me alive. For about several months all I did was live, breathe, sleep sofa colors, hard wood floors, carpets, appliances…it was bad.”

  “Did you join a support group?” he asked jokingly.

  “No, but I think Hyuk were ready to sign me up for one when I dragged him to five lamp stores and four furniture stores and I still refused to pick anything.”

   Kyuhyun silently thanked Hyuk for accompanying Ryeowook during that time…he probably wouldn’t have lasted an hour in just one of the stores, let alone a whole day.

   “I’m starting to think more highly of him now…” 

   Ryeowook rolled his eyes, “you love Hyuk, even though we both tend to give him grief. He really is a great friend and he has impeccable taste, which is why I wanted his opinion.”

  Kyuhyun just squeezed Ryeowook’s hand in response and smiled.

  His petite lover squeezed back, “come on, I’ll show you the upstairs,” and with that said, Kyuhyun was guided up an impressive spiral staircase. He admired how the stairs were made from a light wood and how the thin metal railing looked as if it was floating on the sides, keeping the focus on the shape of the staircase itself.

  “You officially have the coolest loft” Kyuhyun said.

  Ryeowook smiled, “thank you, but if I’m honest, I think the upstairs is my favorite.”

  And it wasn’t hard to see why, when they arrived at the top, Kyuhyun was instantly floored. The whole area was spacious, Ryeowook had kept it pretty simple, but each thing there was stunning. On one side of the room was a massive window, giving a view of the shared gardens outside of the complex, next to the window, lay a beautiful black grand piano. Next to the window was also his desk and chair, which he could see was covered with music sheets. Even Ryeowook’s laptop was not spared from the plethora of sheets. And he was immediately reminded how big of a role music played in Ryeowook’s life and he had to smile at that.

     A bit farther away lay a spacious bed low to the ground, which suited the simple décor well. On the opposite wall from the window, was a walk in closet, in which Ryeowook had created glass sliding doors to keep the closet separated from the rest of the space. A side room contained the bathroom, complete with one of the nicest looking bathtubs he had ever seen.

   “So what do you think?” Ryeowook asked, as he came out of the bathroom.

   “I think I’m going to have to convince you to let me stay here once in a while” he said with a sigh.

   Ryeowook giggled, "feel free to sleepover anytime Kyu. But I like your place too…so you have to let me sleepover at your place too.”

   Kyuhyun kissed him softly, “you’re always welcome.”

He had thought about this since last night, but he really wanted to live together with Ryeowook at some point. He wasn’t sure where they would go, it didn’t matter to him if Ryeowook wanted to move in to his apartment or vice versa or if they would find a new place together, but he wasn’t about to bring it up now, since he would probably scare the living crap out of his little lover.

     After all, that was a huge step, but he knew after spending last night with him, he would never feel that content unless Ryeowook was with him. Waking up to his little lover cuddled against him was pretty much one of the most precious things he had ever experienced and he be damned if he let that go. But by no means was he in any rush. He was content to go at Ryeowook’s pace, even if it did sort of kill him, all that mattered to him was that they spent as much time with each other as possible. It sounded a little possessive, but the way he saw it, they both had hectic schedules and they were lucky if they got to meet four times a week.

   “KyuKyu…earth to Kyu!!” Ryeowook said waving his hands in front of his face. He caught the small hands which earned a light giggle from the smaller.

  “Hmmm?” he said, playing with the slender piano fingers.

  “Why are you spacing out?” he could hear a little concern in the other’s voice.

  Kyuhyun smiled and shook his head, “just a bit hungry.”

  “Then let’s go downstairs, so I can cook, I don’t want you fainting on me.” Ryeowook teased.

  Kyuhyun smiled and followed his lover down the staircase again.

  “Why don’t you relax in the living room and ill set to work on making breakfast.”

  “Can I sit at the island? That way I can watch you cook,” he said.

  “Of course, Id love that, but you might get bored,” the other said.

  “How can I be bored when I’m with you?” he said in a sweet teasing voice.

  Ryeowook’s cheeks turned pink, “I guess I stepped into that one,” he muttered. Kyuhyun laughed, he loved teasing Ryeowook, it was just too much fun.

  “See, how can I get bored?” he repeated.

  “At least bring your laptop over, that way I don’t feel so self-conscious with all of your staring,” the smaller said with a playful tone.

  He smiled and complied, retrieving his backpack from the living room. Because he cut from work early yesterday, he still needed to look over some important files before tomorrow, so he might as well get it done now.  

  He brought his laptop and reading glasses to the island and started opening the files on his laptop. Ryeowook was already pulling out ingredients from bags, recognizing some of it as the stuff they had just bought.

  “What are you making?” he asked in curiosity.

  “A frittata,” the other said as he was whisking some eggs together.

  Kyuhyun wasn’t sure if he knew what a frittata was. He decided to Google it.

  “Ah, so you’re basically making an omelet!” he said excitedly.

RPOV

 He laughed, “Did you just look it up?”

 His boyfriend looked away from him, “Maybe…”

He couldn’t help but giggle at the childishness that Kyuhyun exhibited sometimes. “You could have just asked me if you didn’t know, you realize that right?”

 “Yeah, but you were impressed that I knew my food terminology, so I didn’t want to disappoint you by not knowing this one…”

Sometimes Ryeowook was just stunned by the other's honesty. For a lawyer he really had the cutest lines.

  “I’m already impressed by you. I don’t need you to know everything, besides why did I go through 10 years of culinary training, if I can’t show off to my boyfriend every once in while” he said with a wink.

  Kyuhyun sighed, “but if I don’t keep impressing you with my knowledge in the culinary world, I’m afraid you’ll leave me for a handsome chef.”

  “Kyu, if you haven’t noticed, chefs are a bit temperamental and a little quirky too, so we don’t like dating other chefs because it would probably end with someone’s face in the waffle maker” he said as he chopped the spinach and mushrooms that were going into the frittata.

  That earned him a laugh, he looked up to see Kyuhyun smiling at him and for some reason it was one of those moments that took everything in him to stay where he was and not walk over to his y boyfriend and start a make-out session.

  “Well that means I won’t have to feel threatened about Sungmin, since he’s a chef,” Kyuhyun said, still laughing.

  “Right… the fact that he’s happily married with two children is completely overshadowed by the fact that he’s a chef,” he said, getting back to work on cutting up an onion and some bacon.

KPOV

Kyuhyun smiled at his lover’s witty responses, “touché.”

  “You’re not going to get anything done if you keep talking with me Kyu” the smaller said with a small smile.

  He sighed, “I know, you’re too much fun to talk to and then I get distracted and before I know it, ten minutes have gone by.”

   “Then should I play some music? That might help both of us concentrate a little bit better.” the smaller said.

  He nodded, “Ill just play some off my laptop, that way you don’t have to plug your phone into the speakers.”

  “Okay, your music preference is similar to mine, so I’m quite happy to hand the music reigns over to you.”

  He smiled at that and thought back to the night where they had spent 3 hours on the phone playing their favorite music to one another. Imagine their surprise when they found out that half the music on their playlists was the same. Can you say soul mates? because that’s what Kyuhyun was thinking by the end of that night.

   He played some soothing, light music that would suit both of their purposes. Ryeowook would still be able to cook and he would be able to concentrate on getting through these papers. He took one last glance at Ryeowook who was now adding the ingredients to the egg mixture. As if on cue, Ryeowook looked up at him and gave him that breathtaking smile and his mouth automatically formed one in response. This feeling of warmth was definitely something he could get used to.
