Khun feels warm fingers brushing the bangs away from his face. The rays of the sun bathing half the bed that is currently occupied by two people. The comfort Khun has is stirring the laziness inside him. He wants to stay asleep.
The person beside him didn't stop patting his head. His thumb tracing the line on Khun's eyebrow back and forth. It seems this guy walked his way to Khun's bed again. Well, it doesn't surprise him as before since he keeps on doing it. Arguing with him won't have any effect.
Knowing who he is, Khun kept his eyes closed. He would want to go back to sleep but this guy will always be his distraction. Besides, he is curious what this guy will do if Khun pretends to stay asleep.
A few seconds later, Khun feels soft lips tap on his forehead, moved to the tip of his nose, and the final destination, on his lips. A small smile was unknowingly let loose, nonetheless of how small, it is a perfect fit for the beauty laying beside Bam. Laughing a little, Bam then kisses the crook of Khun's neck.
Softly, "Aguero, I know you're awake."
An eye half half opens. The sapphire iris that never fails to make Bam's heart flutter is seen peeking out. It quickly shuts down when the golden ones stared at it without shame.
Then Bam had to clench the bedsheet below his palms when those peachy lips undoubtedly pouted. Khun would never pout, everyone knows that, but Bam had spent a lot of time looking at Khun that even a slight change in his expression, Bam can notice right away.
Not that Bam had ever broadcasted that. Noticing a mood change does not equal to Bam reading Khun accurately. And... Bam, respects Khun's privacy to figure out things on his own. Bam will try his best to not meddle, unless if he notices that Khun really needs him but is afraid to ask for help, or because Khun is too used to being on his own that he refuses to acknowledge that he needs help. Bam will step in, even if it results to Khun not talking to him for weeks.
Ah, it seems like Khun pouting has lead Bam's mind to run wildly as usual. Honestly, even the threat of the tower marking their necks, or how crucial their situation is, Bam only has one thought. It's no other than Khun and his insanely captivating whole being five star course meal.
A huff, "I'm not awake."
"Well I guess I have to sing you awake. I know you love my voice. It's Irregular like me. My identity."
Finding Bam's words ridiculous, Khun let out a melodious laughter, enough to make Bam's heart warm with the love he never thought he could encounter after everything he'd been through.
"Please no. Have mercy slayer candidate of FUG that can literally slay people with his voice."
A pout, "You wound me jagiya. My voice isn't that bad."
With a cheeky sneer Khun, "I know that more than anyone, but I don't understand why you sing purposely bad."
"Wouldn't I be too perfect if people can't find any flaw in me?"
Khun deadpans at Bam's obvious joke. The sheer half disgusted, half endeared look Khun gave Bam made his stomach flutter in joy, laughter ringing out his mouth.
With a grin, Bam lands a peck on Khun's forehead, the comfortable silence slowly reigning them.
Khun countdowns ten seconds, waiting for the usual request Bam asks him. With a heavy heart, Khun also readies himself to refuse.
"Aguero... Jagiya..."
"hm?"
"Let's run away together. Live far away from this war. Let's build a house, adopt cats, or maybe dogs, make a family..."
"I'm sorry. I love you so much. But I have to refuse this time too."
"hmm. I love you too... I'll ask again next time then."
Golden eyes meets sapphire ones. No words exchanged, but the look they give each other is enough for them to understand how the other is trying to convey.
Bam knows Khun's love for him is so big that he would willingly push away what he really wants for Bam's sake.
Khun won't let Bam run away from his responsibility, and he won't drag Bam away from it too. Khun cannot let Bam live with the guilt that will slowly eat him. Bam is too kind to ignore the people praying his name to save them, because if they don't have anyone to pray to, the hope they've been holding on will be gone.
If Bam has the power to save them, he wouldn't want to live without doing anything. He will break. Khun has to keep him together. Besides that, he is also Khun's sanity, saving Bam is also saving himself.
"We'll just have to wait a little longer okay?" Khun says, brushing the fringe blocking Bam's forehead. "Just so you know, no matter what happens, I'm stuck with you now."
