The door to the bathroom in their dorm is left half-open and Minho takes it as an invitation to enter. As he steps inside, the rapper closes the door behind him and even makes sure to lock it, shutting out the rest of the world so he can finally have some one-on-one time with the birthday boy. There is a smile on Minho’s face as he comes to stand next to Kibum who actually can’t care less about his presence right now because he has his full concentration on wiping the cream off his face with tissues. Considering how long Kibum has been in the bathroom, it seems like Minho may have gone a little overboard with the cake smashing earlier on. Holding back a laugh, Minho reaches out and swipes some cream off Kibum’s face with his index finger. Just as Kibum jerks back in surprise and turns to look at him, Minho puts his finger into his mouth and off the cream.

“Tasty.” Minho thinks out loud, “Maybe we should have saved some cake to eat…”

“That’s disgusting.” Kibum scrunches up his face to show his disgust and gives Minho a look like he’s about to puke.

“Naaah…” Shaking his head, Minho disagrees and decides to show Kibum why, “If you ask me, this…”

With Kibum’s eyes on him, Minho swiftly leans forward and some cream off the birthday boy’s face.

“-is more disgusting.” Minho finishes with a smirk.

Kibum is a step too slow when he tries to avoid Minho by moving back but by then, Minho is already his lips and savouring the sweetness of the frosting.

The twenty three year old is completely taken aback by Minho’s actions that he finds himself speechless. He can only stare at his boyfriend and wait for Minho to make the next move.

Minho can’t help but laugh out loud. It’s the second time he manages to surprise Kibum in one night. He thinks he’s happy enough with how things have turned out so far.

Reaching out to pull some tissues out of the box, Minho then helps Kibum wipe the remaining cream off his face.

“This is all your fault, you know that?” Kibum mutters as he allows Minho to clean his face.

“I know.” Minho smiles, “And I’m more than happy to admit it.”

Kibum finds himself smiling helplessly as he reprimands half-heartedly, “You’re an idiot for planning this…”

“Am I?” Minho asks, amused.

“The biggest.” Kibum simply replies.

It’s silent for a moment as Minho makes sure the last of the cream is removed from Kibum’s face. When he is done and about to turn around to throw the tissues into the dustbin, Kibum suddenly closes the distance between them and surprises Minho with a kiss on his lips.

“Thanks baby.” Kibum says as their lips part, “It’s only been an hour into my birthday but I’m already happy.”

With that, he gives Minho back his personal space and begins rinsing a towel to clean his face properly.

Like the cat that got the cream, Minho grins but he isn’t interested in leaving Kibum to himself. Instead, he moves to hug Kibum from behind and gets comfortable by sneaking his hands under Kibum’s black tank.

Stopping what he’s doing, Kibum raises an eyebrow and questions, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Minho meets Kibum’s eyes in the mirror, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Minho…” Kibum groans, “Not tonight. We have an early flight back home tomorrow, I just want to quickly wash up and sleep.”

At Kibum's answer, Minho looks down and stifles his laughter against Kibum’s shoulder.

“What are you thinking, Bummie?” Minho says once he composes himself and looks back up, “I’m just hugging you, that’s all.”

“As if.” Kibum rolls his eyes while he attempts to shrug the rapper off him, “You think I can’t see right through you after so many years together?”

“Well… you didn’t expect that surprise tonight, didn’t you?” Minho smartly retorts.

“Urgh!” Kibum groans and says before he can stop himself, “Remind me again why I love you.”

“Gladly.”

Kibum catches the glint of mischief in Minho’s eyes but there’s nothing he can do when his boyfriend starts trailing kisses up his neck.

“Happy birthday Kibummie.” Marking each word with a kiss, Minho says against Kibum’s skin.

When Minho’s lips reach his jawline and his fingers turn his face towards him for their lips to meet once again, Kibum decides that he’ll play the helpless prey tonight.

Because the truth is, it’s not that there’s nothing Kibum can do against Minho. He just doesn’t want to do anything to stop Minho’s advances. It may be his birthday today but after what Minho has done for him, Kibum thinks his boyfriend deserves to be spoiled.

Author's Note: hai guys! so i posted this ytd (which is why it's marked complete), but about two hours later, Key updated his instagram with the news that his grandma passed away as most of you, if not everyone, should know by now. i didn't think it would be appropriate to share this then when 23rd September doesn't mean the same anymore... :( still have mixed feelings posting this up right now because it's hard to be happy knowing it's a difficult time for Key. he's been so strong, so professional, and my heart is breaking for him. but like what he posted on instagram, his grandma is watching over him in heaven. RIP 할머니 ✿❀❁
