He slipped his hands through the shiny packaging, ripping it apart gently. The wrapping was too pretty to rip up, so Geng had decided for a slow approach, despite the impatient looks Kyuhyun was shooting him. Taking the box out, he opened it, and took what was inside.
“What is this?” Dog boy murmured softly as he swiped the object from Geng, the male shooting him a glare. “It looks like you, gege!” Henry exclaimed, staring wide eyed at the object that Kyuhyun was holding.
The said object was a figurine of sorts, like the ones you buy at anime stores, except this one seemed to be handmade. The figurine was short and cute looking with black hair and bangs, kind looking wide brown eyes, a smile curved into a cute 'u', and lovely blush on it's face. It was wearing an outfit that Geng had worn to work once, a simple business suit, saved for the jacket and tie.
Basically, it was a mini replica of the Chinese man. Geng stared at it, blinking as he tilted his head to the side. “My butt does not look that big.” He stated with a frown before sighing softly, shaking his head. “It is kind of cute though. Who did you say brought it over?” The oldest asked, looking to Henry.
The chubby cheeked teen shook his head in return. “I didn't say. He didn't leave his name. Except..um..He looks pretty young, had black hair, and was smiling a lot.” Geng blinked, adding up what Henry had said together.
“Kibum?” The Chinese man muttered as he tapped his chin thoughtfully, unaware of the fact that Kyuhyun was hovering over him. “Who's Kibum?” The snarky male asked, lacing his tone in displeasure. “Just some guy at work.”
Kyuhyun highly doubt this Kibum was 'just some guy at work'. The man had did a replica of Geng! He was to be reckoned with.
“Whatever it is, throw it away. It's creepy. The guy has clearly been staring at your ass a little too long.”
_
The telephone rang, interrupting him out of his thoughts. He blinked drowsily, wiping the drool at the corner of his mouth. Slowly sitting up, he muffled a yawn, and reached over to pick up the phone.
“Mmm..Hangeng speaking. How may I help you?”
“You can help me, by getting that butt over to my office.”
He blushed a deep crimson has he sputtered, searching for the right words. “Siwon!” Hissed the embarrassed man as he got out of his seat to watch for any eavesdroppers. “Anyways, what is it? Make it quick. I am working here.” He pouted softly as the man laughed on the other line.
“Nothing, I just want to see how you're doing. That's all.
The tired look on his face changed into a dreamy one as he held the receiver close to his ear. He laughed softly and smiled, leaning back into his seat with a soft, content sigh. “I'm fine, thank you very much. How about you? Work isn't too hard, is it?”
“No, the workload is fine, but I do miss you.”
He blushed once more, feeling his heart beat faster at Siwon's gentle voice. “Ah, I see. I miss you too.”
Although that was partially a lie. He had been too preoccupied with work, going home tired, cooking food for Kyuhyun and Henry, and then retiring for bed.
Hearing the man's voice, it did sort of made him miss Siwon.
“Let's go out soon.”

“You're suppose to be studying.” Zhou Mi chided as he looked to his friend who was currently busying himself with his prized PSP.
“You're suppose to shut you mouth.” Kyuhyun retorted as he looked up from his game, shooting a look towards the sunny man. The older man rolled his eyes in return and sighed. “Whatever. I don't know why I bother. Honestly Kui Xian, if you're not going to do any studying, at least practice for your auditions! Have you asked that owner of yours lessons yet? If not, I can help you.”
He grunted in replied and turned off his game reluctantly, putting it back into his backpack. “No, not yet.” Kyuhyun said with a sigh as he ignored the look Zhou Mi was giving him.
“Don't worry, I'll ask him today. He's just been really tired lately, that's all.”
Kyuhyun rolled his eyes as the look on his friend's face changed into a concern one. The sunny man blinked and looked at the younger.
“Maybe he's been doing it!”
He sighed and glared at the students who had turned their heads over. “Oh, shut up. I don't think so.” The brunette frowned and crossed his arms, glaring off to the side. He blinked as one of the girls ran away, crying.
“He could be! I mean, how would you know? You're only just his pet, you're not really a friend. He could be getting it on behind your back and you wouldn't even know! But I guess he doesn't have to tell you, it's his business after all.”
Zhou Mi nodded, as if agreeing with himself.
The snarky male looked to his friend, the man's worlds running in his head. What if Zhou Mi was right? Hangeng could be sleeping with Siwon and he wouldn't even know it! Anger boiling within, he frowned and glared hard, earning a worried look from his friend.
“What?” Kyuhyun snarled, uncrossing his arms as he kept his gaze away from the Chinese male.
Zhou Mi smiled softly, a gentle look on his features as he looked to his younger friend. “You know Kui Xian..If you like him a lot, you should try to hang out with him more. I mean, you don't really need to be at school all the time, but just enough to hang out with me and to catch up with your studies, but that's about it. And maybe eventually, when you're ready you could tell him how you really feel about him.”
He paused and turned his gaze over to the older. Sighing softly, he shrugged, and stayed silent for awhile. It didn't last as he averted his attention to the ground, heaving a sigh. “I don't like him that way. I'm just annoyed. Highly aggravated. I'm his dog! I have the right to know who he's sleeping with! He should be sleeping with me only and no one else!”
Kyuhyun didn't like the look that Zhou Mi was directing at him.
The man sighed and shook his head. “Kui Xian, are you trying to convince me or are you trying to convince yourself?”
He scoffed and looked away, showing his aggravation towards the older male. “I'm just telling you, that's all.”
“Whatever you say, Kui Xian. Whatever you say.”
Kyuhyun growled and hurled his book at the man. Zhou Mi yelled in surprise, falling off his chair. “That wasn't really necessary.” The older frowned, pouting softly as he looked towards his smirking friend. “I was just saying what's on my mind. I really do think you like him.”
He smirked. “Well if you like to say what's on your mind then maybe you should respect what's on my mind and kindly shut the fuck up about it.”
The older man pouted softly as he pulled himself up, shooting the younger a hurt look who returned with a smug smile of his own.

Walking into the living room, he kept a steady look at his target who was conveniently seated on the couch, reading a book. He smirked softly and walked towards the male, hands in his pockets as he sauntered over and plopped down besides the male.
Henry pouted from across the two, folding his arms over his chest.
“What are you doing?” The snarky male asked as he leaned closer to the older man, resting his chin on Geng's shoulder as he took a peek at what the man was reading.
“Just reading this book. It's quite good.” The older commented without looking at Kyuhyun. He frowned and glanced to the book, it was in Chinese, go figure. Frowning softly, he averted his gaze over to Geng. “I want to ask you something.”
Geng paused and stopped reading, keeping his gaze on the contents of the page. “Oh?”
“Can I have sex with you?”
“No.”
It was worth a shot.
“Then can you teach me Chinese?”
“Sure.”
“Alright.” Kyuhyun said softly as he nuzzled against Geng like a dog, keeping his eyes on the male. “Teach me tomorrow. It's a Saturday after all. Unless you have something to do.”
He sighed and placed his book down and looked over to his pet. “No, unfortunately I have nothing to do, so I will be teaching you Chinese.” It was a little disappointing to say the least. He gone out with Siwon last night, but it was just another one of their dinner dates. They were so busy that they didn't go anywhere, but to restaurants. Geng was beginning to doubt if their relationship would ever go pass the whole dinner date thing.
Hell, they were barely on first base. They hadn't kissed since the incident with the flying pot. He secretly bore a grudge against Kyuhyun for that.
“If you're not holding a book with that hand you should be holding my dick or petting me.”
Kyuhyun frowned, hissing gently at the pain on his head where Geng had smacked him. He glared at the man, frowning. “What was that for?”
“Just shut up.” Murmured Geng as he pulled the younger down, petting his head softly. The younger male closed his eyes and sighed contently, the both of them in their own little world.
Henry narrowed his eyes, making what seemed like lines on his face. He puffed his cheeks out in irritation, shooting looks of hatred towards Kyuhyun.
_
“Okay. I'll be teaching you the basics, greetings and all that stuff.” Geng started as he looked towards Kyuhyun. Both of them were seated at the dining table for Kyuhyun's Chinese lesson.
“So do you know a few words in Chinese? Even a hello is fine. I want to see where you're at.”
The Chinese man didn't know that Kyuhyun was taking Chinese at his college. He was in fact, a fast learner and at the top of his class. Not only was the language easy to learn for him, he had a huge conviction to do better at it.
“You have a pretty ass.”
“Focus!” Geng yelled as he smacked his pet on the head, shooting him a look. “I am!” The younger retorted as he rubbed his sore head, frowning. “You told me to say things in Chinese and I did!”
“Honestly, I don't know where you got that, and I don't think I want to know.” Geng sighed and shook his head, this was going to be a long day.
_
It was one of those days where Geng had to do grocery shopping. One of those days meaning, once a week because he was feeding three extra mouths, Kyuhyun had two mouths because of his constant demand of food.
He surveyed the vegetables from a distance as he pushed his cart towards them. Taking a step closer, he picked up a potato before dropping a few of them into a bag. Grocery shopping was one of his favorite pastimes, the few others being napping, t.v, and eating.
“Buy me this!”
The Chinese male was met by a colorful package shoved into his face. He blinked and pushed the foreign item back, getting a better look at it.
“Potato chips again? Maybe this is you keep getting pimples.”
The owner of the potato chips bag frowned and shot his master a glare. “I'm just a horny college student. Chips have nothing to do with it.”
Geng sighed and took the bag, looking at it before dumping it into the cart. “There, happy? But I don't want to see you eating them for dinner. It'll spoil your appetite.”
“Yes, mother.”
He rolled his eyes and kept walking. “Whatever. Do you have anything else you want to get? And don't forget to get Henry, I don't want a repeat of last time.” Poor Henry was forgotten at the grocery store, the poor boy was left wandering around aimlessly for the past hour until Kyuhyun mentioned that they had forgotten him.
The snarky male nodded and jabbed a finger in the direction of the dairy aisle. “Milk and stuff. I need the stuff for my bones.”
“It's not like it's doing you any good. You're all skin and bones anyways.” Geng retorted as he watch the male's retreating back. He sighed tiredly and pushed his cart towards the mushrooms on display. The Chinese man was deciding for cream of mushroom soup, made from scratch. Nearly reaching his destination, he was cut off my a figure in front of him.
He stared at the black polo shirt and casual dark blue jeans, lifting his vision towards the face. Geng blinked and looked to the familiar man in surprise.
“Oh, Kibum!” The Chinese man greeted politely. The younger man in return smiled in that idiosyncratic way of his before greeting the older.
“Geng.” The younger stated softly as he looked at the foreign man.
“Ah, yes. I almost forgot, it was you that sent me the gift, right? Well, thank you. I really like it.” He smiled and nodded his head as he kept his gentle gaze on the younger man. It was the truth, he really did cherish it. The mini Geng must have taken awhile to complete and it didn't look like it was cheap either.
The small faint blush went unnoticed by the Chinese male as he kept his attentions on Kibum. “Really? I'm glad. I thought it would be a bit too much.” He smiled breezily and shoved his hands into his pockets, looking away.
“No, it's perfect, down to the very last detail.” He laughed softly and smiled in that crinkled way of his. Although Geng really wanted to comment on the fact that his butt was not that big.
Kibum looked surprise as he shifted his gaze towards the older. “Really? I wasn't so sure about that. I thought it was lacking in some details.” He smiled and took a step further to the unsuspecting man.
“Oh? Like what?”
Poor naïve Geng had mistakenly caught the bait as he stared in wonder at the younger, tilting his head to the side in confusion.
Kibum felt his dick stir in his pants.
“Like for instance, I think I made the hair a bit too long, because you got a trim, right? And the clothes were just a poor copy, they're not the type of clothes you would wear. GAP for instance, you shop there a lot since it opened a month ago. I noticed that. The department store just a few blocks down your house, right?”
The Chinese man stared in confusion and blinked, registering what Kibum had just said. Secretly, Geng was getting a little freaked out about it. He looked to the smiling face and returned a half smile.
“But I honestly think the most important thing is your rear.”
He stood rigid in shock as he felt the warm hand clap down on his right buttock, giving it a soft squeeze.
Kibum smirked softly as he leaned his face closer to the male's. “I think I made it too small, not perky enough. Yours is so bouncy and ripe.”
Pulling away, he smiled at the shock look on Geng's face. “Anyways, I have to go now, Geng. I hope you do enjoy the gift as much as I enjoyed making it.”
“Who the hell was that?”
Left stunned, he whirled around to meet a pile of food. “I can barely see your face! What's all this stuff?!” Turning over to his side, the younger man shot Geng a look. “Yogurt, cheese, milk, cheese balls, pudding. Snacks.” The snarky male stated in a matter that suggested Geng was stupid.
He scoffed and crossed his arms. “I'm not paying for all that. You already have your potato chips. All those things will go down to you already fattened ass.” Kyuhyun tutted, disregarding Geng's response as he dumped the items down into the cart. “My ass can't be as fat as yours and I saw what that guy did there.” He narrowed his eyes and pushed his face towards Geng's.
“That was Kibum wasn't it? Well, whatever..He should know not to touch what's mine's. I'm your pet, I get dibs.” Frowning, he pulled away and crossed his arms childishly. “You should stop going to work. You're office has a shitload of perverts. And you should stop shopping at Gap if that guy shops there. Gap stands for Gay Ass Personality anyways.”
“My ass is not that big and that's a total lie!”
“Tch. Your ass is a lie.”
The China man raised an eyebrow. “And how do you know that?”
“I fondle it while you're sleeping of course.”
_
Geng yawned softly as he threw himself onto the couch, followed by added pressure from a flailing Kyuhyun who had thrown himself onto the older and wiggled his way so that Geng was left sitting on him. In the midst of the mess, Henry had managed to squeeze his way into the two, making a human sandwich out of Geng who was trapped in the middle.
Of course Kyuhyun failed to mention how he was enjoying Geng's bum on his dick. The hamster boy was currently snuggling against the warm body of Geng. “Gege's so warm. I'm so cold.” He whined softly as he yawned and closed his eyes, getting ready to fall asleep on the oldest.
“Oh, come on guys. I can't watch TV like this and we're getting to the good part.” Geng complained as he focused his eyes on the screen. Kyuhyun took this chance to sneak his arms around the male's waist, securing him to his lap and mainly his cushioned dick.
The phone rang, breaking them out of their nightly routine. “I need to get it. It could be Siwon.” The Chinese man muttered as he carelessly threw Henry off, pushing Kyuhyun away in the process.
The snarky male frowned and narrowed his eyes as he watched Geng pick up the phone. He shared a look of undisguised hatred with Henry.
Geng smiled as he heard the all too familiar voice. “Hey Siwon.” Greeted the Chinese male, his cheeks already heating up.
Siwon chuckled softly. “Mm..Geng. I miss you. How are you doing?”
The older man laughed into the receiver, his lips curving into a goofy smile as he leaned against the wall. “I'm okay. I miss you too, but I just saw you like two days ago.”
“I can't help it. I don't know about you, but all we have time for is dinner dates..It's a Saturday night...I was thinking, why don't you come over?” He could feel the pause that followed after that, Siwon was nervous.
“Come over? As in your place?” The man asked, blinking. He paused and cast his gaze towards the phone at hand. “I don't know..”
“I'm sorry, it was a stupid idea. I know you want to take things slowly and I just asked you if you wanted to come over. I'm terribly sorry, Geng.” He could hear the man sigh over the receiver, the idea of a crushed Siwon played in his mind, filling him with guilt.
“Ah, no. It's not that! I was just surprised that's all. I mean, it's sudden and we never talked about it, but I would like to. Just..Give me an hour to clean up and come over.”
He hanged up, putting the phone back in place. Staring out into the open, he sagged his shoulders, and frowned. He hadn't planned to go out that night. The events of the week had drained him completely and all he wanted to do was snuggle up on the couch and pet Kyuhyun's hair. Although the idea of disappointing Siwon was a big no and he was curious about the whereabouts of Siwon's home.
The Chinese man blushed gently at the idea.
_
“What just happened?” Henry whispered as he looked to Kyuhyun for answers. The older man shushed him away. “Be quiet, go to bed. It's way past your bedtime.”
“But I'm nineteen!”
“Not if you look like that. Now go to bed.” He shooed the boy away, Henry pouting softly as he trekked to his bedroom.
Making sure Henry was completely gone and that they were alone, he walked over to where Geng was standing.
“What happened?” The snarky pet asked innocently as he looked to his master for answers. Geng blinked and looked to Kyuhyun. “Oh, nothing. Just got a call from Siwon. He's inviting me over.” The Chinese man replied casually as he ran a hand through his black locks, avoiding Kyuhyun's gaze.
“So, I'll be leaving soon. You know where to find the food.” He looked to him and smiled.
“You're not going.”
He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the younger. Kyuhyun had his hands in his pockets as he fixed his intense gaze at Geng. “I don't want you to go.”
“It'll just be a short visit. I'll come home in a few hours. It's not even that late. It's eight!” Geng replied as he tried to reason with the stubborn male. He sighed and waved his hands in dismissal. “Look, I shouldn't even be having this talk with you. As your master, I can do whatever I want. You're a pet, so just sit there and act cute, or snarky in your case.”
“I don't want you to go.”
He wasn't surprised when he felt long limbs wrapped around his form, pulling him closer to the owner. “Stay here. With me. Just for tonight, I promise.”
“But Siwon's waiting..I told him I would go.” Geng could feel his voice cracking, torn between going over to Siwon's and staying with Kyuhyun. In truth, he really wanted to stay at home. He was tired and he didn't really quite feel like dressing up and going over to the man's house, although simultaneously he did wanted to visit. He missed Siwon and this was the golden opportunity for them to be with each other in the comfort of their home. It was a step forward from the little office run ins and dinner dates. It was a step in their relationship.
“Please, just stay. Stay with me for one night.” The younger begged gently as he buried his face at the crook of Geng's neck. “Stay with me.” He ushered as he planted a soft kiss on the male's neck. “Stay with me.” Kyuhyun repeated as he planted more kisses, nipping and sucking gently.
“Stay.” He beckoned between kisses as he held the older.
Geng gasped softly as he was pushed against the wall. He was left speechless as his eyes fixed themselves onto the younger man. “Just one night.” The curly haired male murmured as he leaned in one last time, lips hovering over Geng's, the dark look present in his eyes.
