"Dios mío…" Hernan sighed at his reflection in the mirror. Where did the years go? He had gotten old. Very, very, old. His once black hair was now peppered at best with white streaks sprouting from his temple. His face seemed long, and the corner of his eyes winged with inklings of wisdom, or so Kirk tells him.

Kirk…

In the mirror, he could see spikes of silver hair peeking up from the couch in the living room. He must be dozing off like an old man. Hernan laughed to himself quietly at the thought before he made his way slowly to the other room to see that Kirk had indeed fallen asleep with a book gently resting on his chest, and his red framed glasses perched near the tip of his nose.

'So this is where the years went.' Hernan sat down upon the coffee table opposite Kirk, watching as the man's chest rose and fell softly. His dark hair had silvered over the years, and his once perfect eyesight waned, but Hernan didn't mind. He liked the glasses. He liked how it framed his face and the color red was more than comical. It was cute.

"Age has been kind to you, mi cariño."* Hernan carefully removed the red frames from their precarious position. Kirk remained fast asleep. Next, Hernan moved to extract the book from Kirk's slumbering clutches. Still, Kirk did not stir. Last but not least, Hernan draped a blanket over his sleeping partner, and to his amusement, Kirk curled into it.

Hernan refrained from laughing, but instead leaned down to press a kiss to Kirk's temple. "Que tengas dulces sueños, old man."*

A snort sounded from beneath the blanket. "You've made me an old man."

"A muy sexy old man." before Hernan could even laugh, Kirk had him pinned down to the carpet with the blanket fluttering after them.

"Do you ever stop?"

"Muy be—"

A hand came to muffle his words as a flushed face loomed over him. "Even after all these years, you're still a child."

Kirk felt the incriminating smile press against his hand before Hernan's hand came to pry it off of him to reveal that he indeed was smiling. Kirk couldn't help but smile back. Even after all these years, if he could still make Kirk smile, they were worth it. Every single day of every single year was worth living when Kirk looked at him the way he did now. Happy.

'This is where the years went, with making you smile.'
