#01 A thousand years
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

A ray of sunlight falls on his face, bathing him in a halo of light. He looks so soft, so serene it’s almost ethereal. Minhyuk could watch him like this forever, breathing steadily, plump lips slightly parted, soft, sweet, inviting. He eases back into his arms, nuzzling his face in the crook of his neck. Hyunwoo smells like pinewood and fire and a hint of yesterday’s cologne. Hyunwoo smells like home. He wishes he could take it all in, save it, treasure it for all eternity. Hyunwoo’s eyelids flutter, and he pulls Minhyuk closer in his embrace as he opens his eyes.
“Hi.” Minhyuk whispers. He kisses Hyunwoo softly on the lips. He still tastes like champagne, the half opened bottle abandoned next to the bed.
“Hey.” Hyunwoo whispers back, leaning in to kiss Minhyuk back, raising a hand to cup his head. Hyunwoo buries his nose in Minhyuk’s hair.
“I can’t believe you’re mine.” Hyunwoo says, leaving soft fleeting kisses from the crown of his head to the tip of his nose.
“Don’t be silly, Hyunwoo. I was always yours.”
Minhyuk holds up his hand, admiring his new ring, gold and glistering in the morning light.
“Only now it’s official, mister Son Minhyuk.” Hyunwoo beams, tangling his fingers between Minhyuk’s. Their rings click as Hyunwoo slides his hand into place. Their hands fit together like a puzzle, Hyunwoo’s big, strong hands fitting seamlessly between Minhyuk’s long, slender fingers.
“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Minhyuk says, touching his forehead to Hyunwoo’s. Hyunwoo smiles, and his eyes crinkle upwards into little crescents and it’s the most beautiful sight Minhyuk has ever set eyes on.
“I love you, my sunshine, for a thousand years and all eternity.”
Minhyuk sinks into Hyunwoo’s embrace, and he’s never felt more at home.
“And I will love you, for a thousand more.”
