Warning: Weird storyline, grammar errors everwhere, curse and baekyeol

This is inspired from the variety show; Cheapskate.

p/s: don't ask me why i think of baekyeol when watching it.

There’s only one word to describe Baekhyun and that is cheapskate. Wait, it didn’t sound true enough. Okay, maybe he is an extremely obsessed cheapskate who think saving his money is the only way to survive.

There you go.

And then there’s this one… weird good looking guy that goes with the name Chanyeol who is blind. Not literally but I guess you can say that. Just so you now he is weird and hyper and have a smile that will even creeped es out.
Chanyeol hobby is to buy a lot of snapback with badass words on it. He love to shop, spending his money on his money twice the money of his monthly groceries expenses while Baekhyun, he picked his ‘glamorous’ outfit among the pile of garbage.

No, you didn’t read it wrong.

Yes people, Baekhyun picked his clothes, food and almost everything in a trash bin. It unsanitary but well… it’s Baekhyun, and Baekhyun doesn’t give a damn .
It almost funny how this duo who are most likely came from a different world with different personality date each other. But hey, Chanyeol always quote ‘Love is blind’ inthe most cheesy way so I guess it really didn’t matter, except yes, it matter; to Baekhyun anyway.

There’s a lot of reason why Baekhyun is convinced that their relationship will not going to work and that bring us to point number one;

Even since Chanyeol came to try and live with Baekhyun, his monthly bill has raised almost three times than his usual bill. Baekhyun is pissed, that for sure.
The day Chanyeol started to live with him, he brought a lot of electrical appliances; charges, radios, extra television, you name it. Baekhyun almost chucked all of his stuff outside along with him but after a few round of begging and guilty tripping, Chanyeol could said he succeed, he just have to keep his eyes trained on his babies. Baekhyun didn’t talk to him for a day and always glaring at him. It do made him shivered but it was worth it. His babies were not going back to his old house because let be honest. The day he told Baekhyun he want to try and live with him, it was the day his landlord kicked him out of his apartment because of his 4 months delayed monthly rental.

Point number two;

That goddamn mothering bastard used way too much water to shower daily and Chanyeol showers twice a day, thrice if he felt extra sweaty and that people, one thing that Byun Baekhyun didn’t tolerate in his 23 years of living.

Even back then when he lived with his parent, his fingers always itched to close the main water tap just to make his family members showered fast but he never had the gut to do it because first, he is the youngest and second, it’s not his money so he just have to deal with it.

It felt like the main water tap was calling him and he surrendered to the called and closed the main water tap. In seconds, Chanyeol was furiously shouting his name like a mad man, claiming the soap had made it way to his eyes and it burned but Baekhyun had the audacity to smirk because yes, Chanyeol deserved it.

“What the Baekhyun?!” Chanyeol yelled, rubbing his eyes furiously with his soap covered fist which only worsen it.

“Did I make my point clear?” Baekhyun rested his hand on his curvy waist.

Chanyeol then nodded furiously, “Yes, . Just do something about this.”

Baekhyun sighed and make his way to the basement for the second time to open back main water tap. He grabbed Chanyeol by his wrist and led him to the bathroom. He run the shower and point it to Chanyeol face and the guy almost immediately cry in relief.

It made Baekhyun heart clenched in guilt so without thinking he kisses his lover on his cheek after Chanyeol finished his showers.

“I’m sorry. It just I get nervous when you took way to long in the shower. I hope you understand.”

Chanyeol looked like he had a lot to say but at the end he didn’t say anything, just pulling his tiny lover into a tight hug in order to assure him.

Baekhyun thought after the incident that occurred Chanyeol would change and take shower in short amount of time but that bastard didn’t even do it once. Baekhyun had to always go to the basement and closed the main tap but it was like Chanyeol predict it, he didn’t shouted for his name anymore because he got a little smarter and filled the bathtub with water while he was showering. After over 20 times of trying to change Chanyeol’s habit, he eventually gave up.

Point number three;

Damn tall giant noodle didn’t even want to taste his cooking. Chanyeol, no matter what he did always went right to his damn nerve Every.Single.Time. Baekhyun has gave up on everything related to Chanyeol but there’s one ing thing that he just couldn’t take it and that is Chanyeol comments on what he cook.

Okay, maybe food that was made from trash doesn’t sound that much appalling but Chanyeol didn’t have to point it out and make a wuss from just a simple thing. What so wrong with eating food from garbage anyway?

It’s not like he picked out something bad that might upset their stomach. Baekhyun is a professional when it comes to anything related to trash bin. He can pin out which one is good and which one is bad.

Besides, he knew he is not the only one in this world who pick up food from a trash bin. He knew few people who is the same like him.

Like the old man at the end of the street that always sleep at the bus stop and his friends that always hang out there.

“That’s because they have no money, Baekhyun,” Chanyeol said, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance, “As far as I know, you are loaded babe. Maybe you might even have millions in your bank by now.”

“Well-” Baekhyun was so desperate to win in the argument but then Chanyeol shushed him by slapping his hand over the shorter man’s mouth in an attempt to silence him.

“You know, I’ve noticed you save a lot of money but I never ask what that is for.”

“For my future.”

“You know you’re in your mid thirty, right?”

“Well, I could save it for my future child,” Baekhyun groaned, rubbing his hand on his face in frustration.

“And you know you’re gay, right?”

“So what?” Baekhyun yelled, “I can always adopt one.”

Really, the list of what Baekhyun hate about Chanyeol is endless. He even sorted them in his brain so that he could list them to Chanyeol later when he end their relationship for good.

He caught Chanyeol by his wrist one day when the taller was on his way to god know where (but Baekhyun have been silently praying that it’s not shopping mall) and forced him to sit with him on the sofa.

“I’ve got something to tell you,” Baekhyun fiddled with his fingers, throwing a wary glances once in a while to Chanyeol direction.

“What? You’re pregnant?” the tall man joked but it didn’t ease Baekhyun’s heart even a bit.

When finally Baekhyun had the courage to stare into Chanyeol’s eyes, he finally blurted out, “Let’s break up.”

He watched as his lover’s face form into a deep frown, staring at him like he was out of his mind.

“What the hell are you talking about? Why would you want to break up with a hot stuff like me?” Chanyeol said in disbelief.

“You’re not a hot stuff,” the brunette mumbled, “You’re already on your mid thirty like me.”

“Forget it. Now tell me why you want to end things with me. I thought we are in good terms.”

“What good terms? All we do is fighting with each other except when we…” Baekhyun face flushed a deep red as his hand make a vogue up and down motion with his hand, “Do the do. Heck! Even then we’re always fighting about position in bed.”

“I thought when we’re fighting we’re actually showing our affection to each other?” Chanyeol asked, confused, “Am I wrong to assume that?”

“Well, I guess so. But we’re two different person, Chanyeol. We’re too different from each other. We’re very contrast and I was very sure that you and I were made not for each other.”

Chanyeol seems like he would break down anytime and cried but he hold it in, “So? If that’s your reason for letting me go, I wouldn’t accept it. You knew the day you accept me into your heart, it’s impossible for you to let me out. I already told you that. And when I said that I’ll try to make our relationship work, I really mean it.”

“But you didn’t even try what I told you to do.”

“That’s because I’m not you. I may love you but this is me, you can’t do nothing about it. If I were to drag you and force you to spend your money on lot of clothes, would you like it?” Baekhyun shuddered at the mental image, “Is not what make us attract to each other because of our differences? So then, why are you breaking up with me with the same reason that make you fall in love with me?”

Baekhyun wanted to cry and curled into a ball because what Chanyeol said actually made senses. What really attract Baekhyun to Chanyeol is their differences. He adores their height different, the way his small, feminine hand wrapped by a big, rough hand and the way he thought Chanyeol’s deep voice mixed with his own voice.

He was too deep in his mind to find excuses to break up with Chanyeol just because of Chanyeol’s unwillingness to follow his way of life.

Now that he thought about it back, Chanyeol has never once force him to shopping together or made him spend his money involuntarily (except for his monthly bill) and that made him like a huge ever.

He just want to scream at how ridiculous his mind has play tricks on him but at the end, he pulled Chanyeol into a tight hug, sobbing at his chest like a kid and let the big pair of hand rub against his back in a comforting manner.

“I’m sorry,” Baekhyun said eventually, wriggling to break the hug but the tall man only tighten his hold, “I shouldn’t think like that. I was scared that this relationship wouldn’t succeed and I want to reduce the damage it would do to my heart as little as possible.”

“It’s okay. I was scared too but we can always find a way to sort things out.”

Baekhyun hummed and giggled when Chanyeol started to play with his nape in order to cheers him.

“I just want to ask,” Chanyeol said, pinching Baekhyun’s cheek when the shorter raised his eyes curiously, “Do you still want to adopt a child?”

“Oh my god, let us sort our problem first. I don’t want my child freak out when he see his dad cook something straight out the trash bin.”

If Baekhyun is to be honest, he had a long list on why they didn’t fit together. They had too many dissimilar things and they perceive thing in different view. Also, they bickered a lot but then again, the only thing that tied them together is love. For somehow, Baekhyun realized, was enough for them to stay together and help each other to view the world in different way and for them to get closer. People might think that Chanyeol is blind for not open his eyes wide enough to see what kind of people Baekhyun is but that didn’t stop him from loving the lovely brunette till the day he die. And that is enough for Baekhyun to accept that not everyone could be an obsessed cheap skate like him.
