Chanyeol wonders how he scored Baekhyun in the first place. The shorter male was attractive, he was sensual, he was adorable, and out of everyone else, he went out with Chanyeol. Usually, Chanyeol doesn't doubt or judge himself this much but the fact that he won't be able to give Baekhyun his full attention all the time and make him happy. Between balancing his occupation and the addition to his life, he feels that Baekhyun deserves better. He deserves to be loved better. It's another 6 months after Minseok came into his life and his relationship with Baekhyun is two years, three months, and 16 hours he might add.
It was hard to see other people that worked in the same department as his oblivious boyfriend crushing on him. Baekhyun is naturally friendly to everyone that friendliness was mistaken as something more. Chanyeol fumes when Baekhyun gets asked out on a date since not many people know they're dating. When this occurs, Baekhyun would hold Chanyeol's hands and kiss his anger away.
"Why didn't you say yes to his offer?"
"What?"
"Baekhyun, I can't do this anymore. I can't handle taking care of Minseok, my job, and dating you at the same time."
"Chanyeol I-"
Chanyeol cut in. "I'm sorry I can't do this Baekhyun you deserve better. You can have anybody you want so find someone that makes you happy ok?"
"Is that it then?" Baekhyun asks between tears. "So all this time you've been finding it overbearing? If you told me that I could've helped you. I'm not looking for anything big in a relationship but in a relationship you have to share the burden and struggle with each other no?"
"I'm not the guy Baek. I'm not the guy that makes you happy."
Baekhyun raised his voice. "Who the hell are you to decide that you ass?"
"I won't burden you anymore. I don't want to. Let's break up."
"This is a dumbass reason for you to break up with me Chanyeol. I won't agree to it we're on a break you asshole!" Baekhyun ran off in a huff and Chanyeol stood rooted to the grounds.
Post break up drinks with Jongdae after work. He left Minseok in his mother's care, she came back to a few times a year from abroad and he left his niece in her care for the night.
"Wow you are really dumb-"
Chanyeol cut in, "I know."
"But he didn't agree to the break up. You guys are on a break."
"Eventually he'll break up with me and start to date someone else. He can forget me it'll be ok, I'll live."
"Man why you gotta be so negative damn." Jongdae shook his head and took a swig of his beer.
"Listen buddy, if you don't hold onto this chance and hold onto him. You're gonna die alone. No niece, no lover, no drinking buddy."
"What?"
"It means I'm dumping your negative moody ass for someone better."
"Kim Jongdae you can't leave me hanging like this."
"Your negative vibe is ruining my vibe and mojo. But in all honesty, get your shit together and be lovey dovey with lover boy again. This isn't anything big so why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
Chanyeol swirled his cup a few times.
"You love him, he loves you. Your love story's already three fourths completed."
The taller ran a hand over his face and messed up his hair. "I'm an idiot."
"Yes, you are. Go kiss and make up and stop ruining my drinking parade or I'm seriously ditching you to go drink with my new buddy, Junmyeon."
"The insurance agent who always wear a bowtie? How is he better than me?"
"He gets me discounts on my drinks and covers my tab when I'm too buzzed to pay. A good man I tell you."
"Out of all the years I've known you, I think you charming point is your excessive ability to consume alcohol."
"Cheers to that."
After work, Chanyeol took the elevator downstairs to pick up Minseok. As he got close to the daycare he heard a familiar voice and his niece's laughter. He approached the door slowly and through the window, he saw Baekhyun and Minseok sitting on the ground, talking and laughing. Chanyeol mustered up the courage to open the door.
As soon as Baekhyun saw Chanyeol walked in. He hugged Minseok and said his goodbyes to her. The creative designs director gathered his belongings and went pass Chanyeol, without sparing him a glance and exited the room.
Minseok looked at her uncle with a pout. Chanyeol messed up his hair again.
Over the months Minseok has grown tremendously from her vocabularies to her personality and height. Chanyeol was beamed with pride as he watched her grew. She was an understanding child when her uncle picked her up late or when he had to stay behind and she slept on the chair next to him.
One thing that hasn't changed was Saturday mornings. Minseok would stand by Chanyeol's bedside looking down at him. Chanyeol would lazily open his eyes and asked,
"What's the matter? Why aren't you asleep?"
Minseok toyed with her fingers. "I wet my bed."
"Ok, come up here." Chanyeol scooted over to the far left and patted the empty spot.
Minseok flopped on the bed and stuck her hand under her pillow, the same thing her uncle is doing as she faces him.
"Uncle Yeol?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you ever get back with Baekhyunnie?"
Chanyeol opened his eyes.
"Well what do you think?"
"I want you to." Minseok whined. "Can you? Baekhyunnie is really nice and he buys good food."
"I buy you food too."
"Yes you do uncle but Baekhyunnie-"
"Go to sleep." Chanyeol closed his eyes.
"I think Baekhyunnie loves someone else."
Chanyeol's eyes shot open.
"When he stays with me at the center, he checks his phone and smiles at it. Like how you did before uncle when you told me it was from Baekhyunnie."
"You're trying to bait me with all this aren't you?"
"I don't know, Jongdae told me to tell you my honest opinions of Baekhyunnie and don't leave any details out."
"I need to find a new best friend."
"I like Jongdae too. He has a cool phone that he lets me play games on."
"I let you do that too."
"Yes uncle but his phone is newer you don't understand."
A period of silence went by and the toddler was getting drowsy when her uncle's voice broke through the reverie.
"Let's go see Baekhyunnie."
"Are you sure Baekhyunnie will be here?"
"I'm positive, he lives over there."
Uncle and niece duo were sitting on the bench in the park, right across from Baekhyun's apartment complex. Every morning Baekhyun will get his coffee from the coffee place down the street and take a shortcut across this park to go home.
"Oh! I see him." Minseok pointed at the dark wine red haired male, a change from his chestnut brown that he had before. "With someone else."
Alongside Baekhyun was a tall stranger, holding an identical cup of coffee from the same place and Chanyeol felt a sense of dread at the pit of his stomach.
"Uncle do something!" Minseok urged
"What do I do I don't know-"
"Uncle follow my lead." Minseok took a deep breath and sprinted towards Baekhyun.
"Baekhyun! Baekhyun help me I don't where uncle is I lost him please help me!" Minseok embraced the latter while sobbing.
"Minseok? Don't cry I'll find him with you." Baekhyun dropped to his knees to embraced the child and turned to the other man. "Sorry Sehun but I'll have to catch up with you next time ok?"
"Are you sure I can stay and help-"
"I only want you Baekhyunnie!" Minseok wailed.
"It's ok I can handle it from here." Baekhyun nodded with affirmatively at Sehun, the latter oked and left. Baekhyun took out his phone to dial Chanyeol while patting Minseok on the back.
"Chanyeol? Hey I found Minseok-"
Chanyeol ran breathlessly over. "You found her. Minseok where did you go I was so scared. Thank you Baekhyun, can I take you out to dinner?"
Minseok ceased crying and fluttered her eyelashes.
Baekhyun eyed the duo suspiciously, "I see what this is all about, you guys staged this."
Minseok looked up sheepishly. "Baekhyunnie, I missed you. I see you at the daycare but I miss you on the weekends. Uncle does too." The toddler elbowed her uncle.
"Baek-"
Baekhyun turned around and stomped away. Chanyeol ran past him to stop the latter in his tracks. "Baekhyun, I missed you. I'm a dumbass to let you go. Minseok needs you. I need you. I didn't want to take advantage of your kindness, I thought that I was able to do this by myself. But I realized that I can't. I love you and I hope that you still love me enough to put up with me and my dumbness. My workaholic persona, my irresponsible and inexperienced ways of taking care of somebody. I said that you deserved better, but I promise to do my best to give you the best. Baekhyun, take me back?"
Chanyeol held onto Baekhyun's hands and Minseok tug his coat jacket.
"Baekhyun please say something? Anything please." Chanyeol pleaded desperately.
"Why did you curse in front of Minseok?" Baekhyun repeatedly slapped his chest.
"Wait that's the only thing you heard from my confession? Minseok cover your ears."
Minseok stuck two fingers in her ears and sang la la la.
"Byun Baekhyun, I fucking love you to bits."
"Park Chanyeol, you dumbass I love you too." Baekhyun covered Minseok's eyes with his hand. Chanyeol leaned down and kissed the shorter. He brought his hands around Baekhyun's neck and massage the back. Baekhyun moaned and opened his mouth and Chanyeol deepened the kiss.
Baekhyun pushed the taller away with his free hand and whacked him in the arms. "Chanyeol what the hell we're in public."
Chanyeol enveloped him in a hug. "I missed you so much."
"Can I see now? Are you guys still doing the ew?"
The trio went out for dinner and Minseok fell asleep on the way home. Chanyeol carried the toddler and held Baekhyun's hand with his free hand.
Before he unlocked the door, he turned to Baekhyun
"Are you prepared for what you're about to see?"
"Oh God Chanyeol what did you do?"
Minseok wanted to go camping. She saw a family go on a camping trip and they saw the Northern Lights on TV. She told that to Jongdae the next time they met when he asked about her weekend. Jongdae gave her uncle some pointers on camping and a few things.
Baekhyun was prepared for the worse when Chanyeol asked if he was ready. What he didn't expect is to see a fully constructed tent in the middle of the living room.
Chanyeol went to get extra blankets and pillows while Baekhyun made s'mores. Chanyeol turned on flashlights and directed them at the ceiling to imitate stars when they're in the tents. He also found an old rotating disco lamp as some more effects during their "camping" trip. Everyone went into the tent and watched the flickering light that is imitating the sky.
"How is your camping experience so far little one?"
"The best ever thank you uncle. Thank you uncle Baekhyunnie."
"Uncle Baekhyunnie."
"Uncle Chanyeollie and Uncle Baekhyunnie are my family."
Chanyeol and Baekhyun turned on their sides and hugged the child sleeping in the middle between the two.
"Hey do you what would make camping trip better?"
"Hm?" The day's activity was catching up the toddler as she began to get drowsy.
"Footie pajamas."
Minseok's drowsiness went away and she snapped up immediately. "I'll go change."
Baekhyun rolled over the empty space close to Chanyeol, "I'll get the camera."
"No you don't. I have another surprise for you."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes! There was another size of just for you at another store can you believe it?"
"I can't believe I agreed to this." The trio were in their full get up complete and Minseok donning a cat ears headband on her head.
Chanyeol held his phone up at an angle. "Smile pretty pretty it's going to look great on our Christmas postcard."
Instead of pressing the camera button, Chanyeol hit the recording instead.
"Hey Baek, check your pockets."
"Hm?"
"Your other pocket darling."
Minseok giggled in delight.
"Chanyeol what-" Baekhyun felt a cold circle in his pocket.
Baekhyun pulled out a metallic ring from the pocket and Chanyeol handed the phone to Minseok.
"Byun Baekhyun, will you marry me?
Baekhyun teared up and Chanyeol looked at him expectantly with glassy eyes.
"Goddammit Chanyeol I wasn't planning to propose to you."
Chanyeol blinked. "What the f- front door?"
Baekhyun dug out a ring from his jeans pocket and kneeled in front of Minseok. "Will you take me to be your uncle and father figure Miss Park Minseok?"
"Uncle what do I say?" Minseok started crying behind the phone.
"Do you want me to be another Chanyeol in your life?"
Minseok nodded and managed to croak out a "Yes." between tears.
Baekhyun turned to the giant, flashing the rectangular pearly white, and perfectly aligned teeth he showed Chanyeol the first time they met.
"Yes Chanyeol yes. I'll marry you."
"Is Minseok asleep yet?" Baekhyun whispered.
"Yeah. She slept immediately as soon as her head hit the pillow."
Baekhyun sauntered up to Chanyeol and slowly unzipped his pajamas. "Well then that's good. She must be sound asleep."
Chanyeol held onto the shorter's waist. "I thought it was until marriage."
Baekhyun's hands dropped his to sides. "Oh? You don't want to do it?"
"No no no. I mean yes yes yes. I really want to."
"Well good." Baekhyun tiptoes and whispered into Chanyeol's ears. "Good, as much as I love to see you in this. I think I'd love it even more to see you out."
Chanyeol closes the distance between their lips and Baekhyun opens his mouth to deepen the kiss. They moved backwards with their mouths connected until the back of Baekhyun's knees hit the bed and he fell backwards onto it.
Chanyeol unzips Baekhyun and trails a path of kisses from his collarbones down his belly and the part under his navel. Baekhyun's breath hitches above. Chanyeol trailed the kisses back up and laced their fingers together above Baekhyun's head. Chanyeol kisses and nibbles at Baekhyun's mouth again. He inches closer and to rub their clothed members together and swallowed Baekhyun's moans.
Chanyeol quickly worked to remove all their clothings and he sat back and watched the swollen lips, hooded eyes, and the pink coloring his lover's cheeks.
"Chanyeol stop staring. Do something."
"Your wish is my command."
Chanyeol coated his fingers with lube and lathered some of it on Baekhyun's pulsating cock. He insert the first finger and Baekhyun hissed at the cold sensation. Chanyeol inserted the second one and moved the both of them while sliding his free hand up and down Baekhyun's member. Baekhyun moaned and arched his back at the double stimulation.
"Fuck Chanyeol would you put it in already."
"Aren't you impatient?" He teased.
Chanyeol preps himself and aligns himself. Baekhyun whimpers when he feels Chanyeol near his most sensitive and intimate part. The taller kisses his lover to distract him and his tongue swivels around the shorter's moist cavern when he thrusts into the tight heat.
Baekhyun broke away from the kiss and panted. "Chanyeol move fuck."
Chanyeol did a few experimental thrusts and then started to pick up his pace.
"You're so tight."
"Chanyeol harder."
Chanyeol gripped onto Baekhyun's waist and thrust into his hole animalistically.
Baekhyun was an incoherent mess, his hair plastered on the pillow and his body shimmering with sweat. Chanyeol pounded harder and pushed Baekhyun up so that his back was on the headboard. Chanyeol changed his position and gripped onto the headboard. Baekhyun tried hard to control his screaming and the headboard slammed into the wall repeatedly.
"Yeol, I'm going to .....come. Chanyeol..."
Chanyeol slammed into his bundle of nerves a few times before sliding his hand on Baekhyun's cock; thick, white liquid spurted and landed on their stomachs. Chanyeol drove faster and harder into Baekhyun and his toes curled from the overstimulation and he couldn't helped but thrashed around as his breathing came out unevenly. Chanyeol's hands found their way to Baekhyun's butt and he squeezed them tightly. Baekhyun groaned when Chanyeol's large palms massaged his ass. He finally found his release and the same thick, white liquid substance seeped from Baekhyun's hole. Chanyeol collapsed on his lover and as their breathing evened out. Chanyeol pulled out of the sleepy male, Baekhyun let out a whimper and Chanyeol went to the bathroom to get something to clean his fiancé with. They fell asleep and Baekhyun laid on Chanyeol's arm. Chanyeol was sure his arm was going to fall asleep soon but having Baekhyun buried his head into the crook of his neck and placing soft kisses on the side of his neck is worth it.
"Chanyeol what are you doing?" Baekhyun asked with a hoarse voice from sleep and last night.
"It's Saturday morning, Minseok will come up with an excuse to come over and sleep here until noon." Chanyeol replied as he put on a shirt and putting a shirt on for Baekhyun.
"Fuck that really hurts."
Chanyeol rubbed Baekhyun's stomach softly and kissed his forehead.
"Uncles? Can I sleep here?"
Chanyeol scooted to the left and patted the empty space. However, Minseok flopped in between Baekhyun and Chanyeol.
Baekhyun laughed at Chanyeol's pout and interlocked his fingers with his pouty giant fiancé. All three went back to sleep and her uncles' intertwined fingers were placed on her in the middle.
Chanyeol could get used to this. He was raising a family but he is not by himself and definitely not alone.
