‘Who is Kyungsoo?’

 

Kai looked at Luhan who was sitting on the bed, eyes fixed to his husband’s cellphone, “calling you like… thousands time…” he murmured lowly, tried hard not to sound jealous.

 

“Here, let me see.” Kai approached him and stared at the phone when Luhan gave it, “well, it’s just three missed calls, but yeah…” the man said in a tease, “it’s a good thing to be cautious.”

 

Now Luhan felt really jealous. He didn’t say anything, only climbed to his usual place in their bed and slipped under the blanket with a grudging heart. He even did a bit too far by pressing his body as close as possible to the wall, just to regret it a second later. Why he had to be so childish, anyway, he didn’t even know this Kyungsoo enough to be so mad.

 

He felt another weight on the bed and sensing his husband near, he really wanted to say sorry for this nonsense. But he was also afraid if Kai ignored him so he stayed in this torturous silent, praying for some miracle to happen so he could stop this selfishness and get into his husband arms, let the man secured him with an embrace like how they usually sleep at night.

 

‘So this how you sulk.’

 

He flinched when he heard Kai suddenly murmured. Slowly, he uncovered some of his face from the blanket, staring at his smiling husband who was leaning on the headboard in relaxation. He said nothing in return, still being careful around the man but somehow Kai probably knew his face slowly turned red in embarrassment. ‘It kinda cute.’ To make it worse, Kai chuckled lightly, bringing another tint of shame darkened his pale skin.

 

Actually, there are questions on his lips. He wanted to ask if Kai was angry at him, for being like this. He wanted to ask if Kai returned the call, and truthfully, what kind of relationship Kai had with this Kyungsoo, who call him outside the work hours.

 

‘He’s not an ex.’ As if Kai could read him just from his curious, deer-like eyes, Kai immediately answered, ‘Some of my friends from high school, named Do Kyungsoo and Huang Zitao, are going to Seoul before me. Tao was already married and running a Flower Shop, while Kyungsoo was working in Seoul City Hotel.’

 

So that’s mean, this Kyungsoo didn’t marry yet. Actually it’s not the point but Luhan can’t stop thinking about it. He covered his face with blanket again, now he was embarrassed with this conversation and he wished to let the sleep erase it from his memory.

 

‘Luhan…’

 

Luhan can feel his blood boiled at the low voice calling out his name. He cursed under his breath, cause no matter his heart pleaded his body to just move from the wall, he stayed still,

 

‘Who’s your husband?’

 

Luhan gasped. Such a simple question, why such a simple question made his face looked up from his shell and his brown eyes immediately found the dark orbs which belong to his husband. Slowly, his pink lips opened and murmuring a soft,

 

 ‘You…’

 

His face burned by his own admittance.

 

‘Then…’ For Kai, it’s still not enough so the man shifted lower until their head rested next to each other and their eyes were in the same level,

 

 ‘Who’s my wife?’

 

Luhan felt his stupid tears pooling under his eyes, as he breathed and answered in the same time,

 

‘Me…’

 

Such simple thing about love could easily set his heart into peace again. It made the worry wrinkles in his forehead disappeared, and the frown on his lips turned into a content smile. He scooted until their chest met and then he shifted so his head rested on Kai’s muscled arm. His skinny hand held onto his husband waist as the man hugged him with both strong hands and legs and give him one last peck on his black hair.

 

‘Good night, my love.’

In the Friday night, Luhan spent his time doing his paper while texting Yi Xing about progress in campus (mostly gossip around his gang). Not like his husband, he’s already asked permission from his Dean, to get him days off cause he got married. It’s easy though, he just needed to send a copy of his marriage paper to the administration office and then he was free for half a month. Yay.

 

“Are you busy?”

 

The husky voice of his husband kissed his ears, followed by the larger figure sitting too close to him and pulling his skinny body to rest on the man’s chest. He can imagine Kai stared at the bunch of literature spread on the table, and he almost giggled at hearing his husband sighed a bit loudly,

 

“Didn’t Friday night supposed to be frisky?”

 

“ert.” Luhan snorted, as he struggled from his husband’s arm so he could go back texting… um, no, writing his paper again.

 

Kai let him go, watched his back with a burning gaze. Luhan didn’t really know how it happened but sure his back felt warmer than usual. Then after a while, Kai suddenly touched the end of his black hair and murmured, “Why did you dye your hair black, baby?”

 

“My hair is originally black.” Luhan smiled at his paper, “One of my cousins was half, he had blond hair and he always got bullied because of that. So, as the sign of solidarity in between brothers, we all dyed our hair in blond.” He explained.

 

Kai laughed at hearing that, “that’s pretty cute.” He said, recalled again the first time he met Luhan. At that time, Luhan was sitting with a blond man. Kai thought it was the boy’s lover, before, but now probably it was one of the brothers, “then why did you dye it back?”

 

Luhan stopped writing and turned at his husband. His eyes got big and bigger as he opened his mouth and said, “Apparently one of my cousins was a doctor too, and he said, a pregnant mom can’t have their hair dyed.” Luhan suddenly felt his throat getting dry so he took a big gulp before continued, “And… we are married so… umm… someday we will have children, right?” He asked in a worry tone. Although Kai did nothing aside listening to his talk, but he afraid it was too soon to talk about baby. Kai just got a job, their apartment will be too small for having kids and more importantly, he’s just got into college. In any rational mind, it’s not the time for baby yet.

 

“I want baby.”

 

Luhan didn’t have idea with the suffocated pain hit him over his husband short reply. He frowned, eyes became as wide as ever and mouth opened in a silent protest. Why? Why this man always surprised him? Why this man keep sending him to the highest heaven?

 

“But Kai…” his stupid mouth tried to be smart in denial.

 

“I didn’t use any protection, right?” Kai cut his words with another low, deadly murmur while those dark eyes keep pinning Luhan into a dead end, “ that’s because...” and to make it worse, Kai ran his hand on Luhan’s flat stomach while leaning close and touched Luhan’s cheek with his nose, “I want my wife got pregnant.”

 

Oh, if the words wouldn’t awaken every cell in Luhan’s body, the touch would.

 

“Ok….”

 

Luhan gulped again before he let out a breathless laugh, “that’s…” he didn’t know how a life could be this sweet but he was sure it’s all because of this man who sat so close to him. It’s hard to form words, now that he wanted to cry his heart out but he kept laughing, laughing as hard as he could, “ok…” he took a liberty to peck Kai on the lips, “ok, let’s make baby…” he giggled at hearing his nonsense, “let’s make a lot of it...”

 

Kai raised an eyebrow, “right now?” the man smirked darkly, “but I thought you were busy.” Luhan almost growled in displeasure in return. How dare his husband remind him about his paper after making him this hot and ready?!

 

“Please.”

 

Luhan whined into Kai’s lips,

 

“Please make baby with me…”

Kai was sure, someday Luhan will be the death of him.

 

“My brother said, ‘Man had 9 rationality and 1 desire, while Mother had 1 rationality and 9 desire.’” He said while looking at Luhan back who was happily preparing their breakfast. “I used to laugh at him, but it turns out that he was right.” He sighed.

 

“So what if it’s true?” Luhan appeared while placing two plates full with omelet’s rice and sat next to Kai.

 

Kai was very itched to say, ‘my bruised’ but then his wife will be blushed hard and his blushing wife in pink frilly apron in the morning just not right to his health. No, even just imagining how he turned this pure dining table into a object made his blood rushed south… DAMN he’s already hard now, but he didn’t want to make scene so he forced a smile and pecked his wife’s cheek, carefully.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“Umm.” Luhan said simply.

 

Are you sure? Kai stared at Luhan in worry cause no matter how he wounded himself, Luhan should be getting the worse. He started to imagine (again) what could happen in Luhan body but he found no clue, aside himself getting harder, “Okay then.” he stopped thinking for now, and decided to taste his wife’s cooking, “but if you feel hurt in any way, please tell me, ok?”

 

“Actually…” Luhan pouted, “I’m kinda hard right now.”

 

It’s like a moment in show where people got choked over someone else's words. So, for a while, Kai was busy coughing the rice out and Luhan was busy patting his back while holding a glass of water. He was embarrassed for such stupidity but seeing Luhan laughed airily while comforting him with words, it heated his face and his heart with a strange happiness.

 

“So you can get choked too.” Said the cutie pie, squealing like there’s no sin involved in it, “it was so cute.”

 

“Don’t joke around.” Kai gasped a breath, but he smiled at seeing his wife’s beautiful giggle.

 

Luhan leaned into his touch and closed his eyes, “then, what are we going today?” he asked in a cheerful tone, “I already did my paper, thanks to my beloved husband who helped me finish it.” his sparkly eyes opened again just to meet with Kai’s dark ones, “and this is Saturday so~~~o…”

 

Kai smooched Luhan for the cuteness he had to endure before he retreated while laughing, “Let’s go shopping.”

‘Kai.’

 

Kai was staring at his phone when Luhan scooted close to him. He wrapped his hand around Luhan’s shoulder and took a breath into the younger’s head, ‘so how was it?’ he was the one who asked his wife, after they received the video call from Kai’s parents.

 

‘Your family is very fun.’ Kai felt his heart warmer as he heard his wife's giggle, ‘although we made so many mistake they forgive us and they even anticipate us to visit.’ Kai already knew the question when Luhan looked up at him and stared at him with those sparkly deer-eyes so even Luhan didn’t say it, Kai immediately could answer it.

 

‘We’ll visit them soon.’ Kai rubbed the skin on Luhan’s arm in a calming way, ‘I promise.’

 

He smiled when Luhan smiled cause it was contagious, in a good way. The boy whispered a low ‘thank you’ and ‘can’t wait it’ before resting on his chest again. For a while they just enjoyed their moment in silent, watching the blank screen of television. Kai smelled any scent he need to preserve himself with, touched his wife gently like he used to in his dream, and just hear the clock tickling forward, let his future slowly turned into real. He was here, with the one he loved and this is just became a perfect moment for him.

 

‘I wish my family was like yours.’

 

The words crashed their silent like a loud bang awakened them from their content dream. Kai didn’t reply to Luhan’s soft murmur cause his heart was thumping in anxiety. There are nightmare, in their future and so he tucked his wife into a tight hug. It’s not only to keep the precious one close to his heart, but it also to keep him for being afraid.

 

‘It’s okay, we can make it.’

 

He whispered it into his wife’s head and to strengthen his own heart.
