Rating: PG-13
Warning: Um... straight couple? Cheating? A daughter? Language
Summary: It all starts from his twentieth birthday, spent with Kibum in between the sheets the next night. It starts again on his fiftieth birthday when his wife finds out.
A/N: This resulted from two days of no sleep, so sorry if it's bad.
Today is the day after his twentieth birthday, and Jonghyun thinks it can't be any more perfect. He had his "traditional birthday kiss" today with his best friend. His body seems to fit perfectly with the other;snug, curved and warm. He wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world, and he pulls himself closer to the boy, burying his face in the other's hair and kissing the top of the younger's head, murmuring a quick "I love you, Kibum" before his eye-lids droop and he's off to sleep, unconsciously snuggling a little closer to the other man.
~~
Jonghyun sits at the foot of the tiny tree. It's over decorated and flashy, but he can't help but smile at it. He's twenty-three now. Christmas came 'round fast, but he isn't complaining. Why would he? He had fingers intertwined with his and a head weighing heavily on his shoulder, but he doesn't mind because this is one of the many things that makes him enjoy life, and he decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. Especially not when Kibum says "awww, Taemin, Minho, you're so cute" and the two youngest blushes fiercely and shares a kiss as Jinki holds a mistletoe over their heads, turning to Kibum and Jonghyun next-both smiling at each other, forgetting everything else, and they have their own kiss.
~~
Jonghyun is twenty-six now, and he smiles softly at the woman he is with. She lies her head on his shoulder as they watch the band play, and he thinks, yes, she is stunning in her dress, but he can't help but glance over at one of the guest every few minutes. He turns his attention to the man he has been looking at for god knows how long, and he catches his breath as eyes meet his, and their gaze locks as the band starts up a new song, singing softly about how their love will always last, and Jonghyun mouths "this is for you, Kibum" As tears form in the twenty-five year old's eyes, he decides that he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world.
~~
"Thanks for baby-sitting her," Jonghyun says to his friend of years. He's twenty-nine now, and his daughter is only two. "It's no problem," the younger man said as he took a sip off of what ever drink he had ordered", thanks for going drinking with me once your wife took her." Jonghyun nods and looks at the other man, noticing the falter in the younger's smile upon the mention of Jonghyun's wife. "I love her," he says slowly and studies the younger's reactions. There was a grimace of pain. "I will always love you more." There was a look of hope. "Then prove it." That night as Jonghyun lied naked with the other, their forms fitting together as perfect-if not more-as he remembers, he decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. So he picks up his phone and pretends to be the other man as he texts his wife saying "Jonghyun got really drunk and can't make it home, I'm going to let him stay at my house." He feels a little guilty as she replies a thanks, but as the man rolls over and buries his face into Jonghyun's chest muttering "go to sleep" all of it washes away. "I love you, Kibum."
~~
He's staring to feel old but he knows it's because he's at his little girl's birthday party. Another year older for her and he realizes soon will be another year for him. He's only thirty-two, though. He returns the smile his wife gives him. She laughs as their little girl accidentally gets icing on her nose and Jonghyun can't take his eyes away from his wife's beauty. That is until there is a knock on the door. Jonghyun opens it and is happy to see his friend with a gift in hands, his new boyfriend standing next to him, smiling affectionately at the man. "Hey, Kibum," Jonghyun yells excitedly and leans in to hug said man. The man's boyfriend glares at him and he returns it. As the older man pulls back he grabs Kibum's hand and walks the man inside to greet his child. They have a good time and later Jonghyun finds himself doing as Kibum said and following the younger man into his bedroom, locking it behind him as instructed. "What about your boyfriend," Jonghyun says as Kibum pushes him down and sits on the older man's lap. "What about your wife," the younger says as he kisses the other man's neck. "She's just a wife." Kibum kisses harder. "He's just a boyfriend." The older man kisses the younger on the mouth and the younger pulls away and mutters "but we'll always be lovers." Jonghyun decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world.
~~
He lies on the floor and looks through the photo albums. He feels young again despite the fact he's already thirty-five. He flips a page and the man next to him let's out a shriek and flips the page hurriedly. Jonghyun chuckles and fights the other man until he could finally turn the page back. There is a picture of them when they were younger. When he was only twenty-one, and the younger was just about to turn twenty. They were standing there, Jonghyun behind the younger and his arms were wrapped around the other. "You look good there, silly." The younger slaps Jonghyun. "Liar." The older laughs and kisses the younger man's cheek. "You look great there, Kibum." As the younger man blushes, Jonghyun decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. Not even when his wife comes in and says "stop kissing" and their eyes widen until she starts laughing and they realize their not caught. Kibum looks at Jonghyun and sneers. "I would never go for a guy like him." She laughs. "Of course, you've been with your boyfriend for three years already." Kibum nods with a giant smile but there isn't a light in his eyes, and the older looks down to the photo and smiles upon seeing Kibum's eyes full of love and happiness.
~~
Jonghyun can't believe he turned thirty-eight only two days ago. He sits at the bar and smiles as a familiar scent washes over him. "What're you doing here," a voice says as a body drapes over him. "I felt like having a drink. I haven't seen you in a while." There's a grunting sound and the body slowly pushes off of him. "You haven't seen me in about a year." "Sorry, Kibum." The younger man chuckles. "You had your birthday recently. If I'm correct." The older man nods and wants to smile because the other remembered, but he held back. "I thought we had a thing. Y'know? A birthday tradition. You owe me mine." The older man looks confused but Kibum leans in and kisses him. "I owe you yours. Now where's my late payment?" Jonghyun is stunned but leans in and kisses Kibum, and he decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world when the younger mutters against his lips,"You owe me interest."
~~
Jonghyun looks in the mirror in the bathroom of the restaurant and sighs. He places his open palm on his skin and can't believe how... Old he's gotten. An all too familiar figure is reflected in the mirror. "Stop acting like an old man desperately searching for his youth." "I'm not acting it. I am an old man desperately searching for his youth. I mean, I'm forty-one." The other man rolled his eyes. "You should just get old gracefully, like me." "Are you wearing concealer?" Both men shared a look before laughter erupts. "Like I said, grace." Jonghyun laughs. "So, you here with your boyfriend?" The man gives Jonghyun and "are you stupid" look. "What?" "Jonghyun, when was the last time we met?" "Three years ago?" The younger rolls his eyes. "Where were we?" Jonghyun looks at the younger confused. "A club?" "Exactly. Why would I be dressed nice for a club, if I had a boyfriend?" Realization hits the older. "Sorry Kibum." "I'm over it now." Jonghyun nods and looks towards the mirror and pretends to look at himself though he's looking at the younger. "Then why are you at a romantic restaurant?" Kibum rolls his eyes and flips his hair and Jonghyun is amazed at how young the other looks, despite small wrinkles and crows feet. "Girls night out." The younger chuckles and Jonghyun can't help himself as he turns around and kisses the man harshly. Just like the other likes it. The younger kisses back and Jonghyun feels nothing but passion and love and he doesn't remember how he's lived without this man. "We should stay in contact,"Kibum says as he pulls away and wipes at his mouth, and Jonghyun is breathless as he nods. And this. This moment, he decides he wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Definitely when the younger backs away with one last look in the
mirror-flipping his hair and sends a smirk to Jonghyun over his shoulder as he walks out the door.
~~
He glares at his ringing phone as he is awoken from his sleep. He looks at the time and it reads 11:58 pm. He hasn't been sleeping that long. But hell. Does someone need to call at midnight? He looks at the other side of the bed to see if it woke his wife. It didn't. He flips open the phone and whispers a quite, questioning "hello". He smiles at the voice and feels the sleep already gone. He is about to ask why the man called, but the younger speaks first. "It's midnight now. Happy forty-fourth birthday, Jjong." There is a silence. "Crap! I thought for sure I would be the first one to say it! I was, wasn't I?" Jonghyun chuckles but still feels himself smiling upon hearing the old nick name. "No, you were the first." "Good. I should always be the first who wishes you a happy birthday. Plus you have to avoid your wife when she tries to kiss you. I'm the first doing that, too." Jonghyun chuckles nervously but nevertheless mutters. "Only for you." There a small breath on the other line and upon realization it was a smile, Jonghyun decides he would never trade this moment for anything. Not even when his wife wakes up and says "oh, baby. Happy birthday."
~~
Jonghyun wants to cry as he finishes up his dance with his daughter, and gives her to the groom. He watches as she dances. He goes and sits by his wife. Her wrinkles are so apparent, even so, she looks beautiful in her dress. He retracts that thought as a more beautiful and radiant figure walks up next to him and sits down. "She looks like you." "Her husband kind of looks like you. Everyone says that." The man looks at the groom. "Not even half as good looking." They chuckle. "I think... We'll live on through them." "Obviously not." Jonghyun looks startled. "If he's a mini-me, then he has to have a puppy-eyed dinosaur as a pet." Jonghyun laughs and his wife looks at him and he just smiles. "Yeah... You're too flamboyant for him to be a mini you, Kibum." "Sorry, old man. You're just jealous." "I am not! And I'm not that old... Am I?" Kibum rolls his eyes. "You're fine. Forty-seven is the thirty." Kibum chuckles and Jonghyun giggles. His daughter runs up and Kibum holds out his arms for her as he makes a squealing sound. "Uncle Kibum!" Jonghyun gives the younger man a look. "Uncle?" Kibum laughs. "I don't know when this happened." "You and dad are so close! You are so close you have to consider yourself brothers, right?" Jonghyun looks at Kibum and hears the unspoken words but just nods. More so to Kibum than her. He decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world. Lovers. Not brothers.
~~
He doesn't know what to do as his wife walks in and sees him kissing his "brother." "Jonghyun?" He had long since pulled away, but he hasn't moved since then. "You're... gay?" "I like men and woman." She looks at them with her mouth agape. "The reason you two have always been so close..." "He's my lover," Jonghyun states. "Since I was twenty." She looks at him... upset, or maybe even disgusted, and Jonghyun swears to god it hurts. It hurts so bad. But he can't bring himself to really care as arms wrap around him and repeatedly tell him "don't worry" or "it's alright" because this support is what he needs. "I guess... we can finally be together." There's a "tch" sound. "Like I want an old man." Jonghyun slaps the other lightly. "I'm kidding, Jonghyun, you'll always have me." Jonghyun nods and embraces the other. "Thanks, Kibum." "No problem. Happy fiftieth birthday." Jonghyun kisses Kibum lightly and doesn't have to be afraid of anyone seeing, and Jonghyun decides he wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world.
