Hi guys! I don't know how many people already read the last chapter, but I just replaced it with the edited version. I was very sleepy when I typed it so there was a lot of minor mess-ups ;0; but they're fixed now! I also edited a problem that was in chapter 23, because there were some grammar mistakes. Probably not super noticeable- I typed "my" instead of "me" in one spot- but oh well. :3
I do not own MM!
I typed in the passcode to the security system, opening the door once it granted me access, stepping over the threshold and into the house. I ran my hand over the wall, trying to locate the light switch, finally finding it, flicking it on.
"SURPRISE!"
I fell backwards against the door in my shock at the sudden noise, my eyes wide as I looked over the members of the RFA. Yoosung stepped towards me, a bright smile on his face, snapping a party hat onto my head. He helped me up from the ground, and I continued to stare at everyone in confusion.
"What are you all doing?"
"I planned a surprise party for you and Saeyoung for your birthday!"
Saeyoung lifted his hand, laughing gently.
"He mostly did it for you though."
Yoosung blushed, rubbing his neck sheepishly as he turned back to me. I smiled, warmth tickling my cheeks as he slid his hand into mine, dragging me into the living room. He pointed proudly at the cake he made, exclaiming animatedly how he had been practicing in secret so that he could make the best cake ever.
I laughed softly, happily taking a piece, blushing as he watched me eat it with shining eyes. Everyone was having fun and enjoying themselves, even though it was a drastic change to the last birthday party that happened in the RFA. There was no liquor at this one- a fact I was quite okay with.
As embarrassed as I was at being put on a pedestal by everyone in the RFA, even if it was only for my birthday, I found myself having fun. I flushed bright red as Saeyoung dragged me up next to him, standing side by side on the coffee table, giving some ridiculous speech about the bond of 'twinhood'.
"My one and only brother, my other half, a piece of myself- a bond like ours can take us to the ends of the Earth!"
"You make me want to end the Earth."
Everyone laughed at my snappy comment, Saeyoung pouting at me, complaining that I never go along with his jokes. I rolled my eyes, but my smile betrayed me- I really was enjoying myself in this moment.
I sighed heavily minutes later, as while Jade went off to the bathroom, he shoved his sweater and glasses on to me, stripping my argyle sweater from me, pulling it onto himself, giggling about how he was going to trick Jade.
"...You know our eyes aren't the same colour, right?"
He froze, nodding as he recalled this fact.
"Oh yeah... Well, shit. Gimme back my sweater, I feel naked."
I threw the sweater at him, shoving his glasses back on his head, happy to slide my preferred shirt back on, smoothing out the wrinkles over my stomach. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I shifted my gaze to the side, smiling automatically as I saw Yoosung next to me.
"Saeran, can I talk to you alone?"
I nodded as he took my hand, leading me to my bedroom. He shut the door behind us, pulling me over to the bed, sitting down on the covers. He was holding a bag in his hands, his blush visible on the tips of his ears, his smile shy and nervous.
"I wanted to give you your gift in private."
I raised my eyebrows at him, blinking slowly.
"You got me a gift? But you planned the party.."
"That's not a gift!" He blushed harder as he spoke up, placing the bag in front of me, his gaze focused on his lap, "I have a real gift for you."
I opened the bag gently, reaching inside, pulling out a box. I opened the top, carefully pulling out the styrofoam that was protecting whatever was inside- I opened it up, gasping as I stared at the gift.
It was a customized figurine of my LOLOL character- matching the exact armour it was wearing now, same weapons wielded, hair and eyes the same- an exact replica. I ran my fingers over it gently, my heart swelling at this thoughtful gift. I looked up at Yoosung, and he was holding up a picture on his phone- a similar replica, except this one was of his own LOLOL character.
"I got one made for myself too so that we would have a pair, together."
My cheeks were hot, probably as pink as could be. I looked back down at the figurine in my hands, in complete disbelief that I was deserving of something that meant so much to him.
"...I love it."
"You do?! I was so worried you wouldn't like it!"
I placed the figurine on my bedside table, moving the remnants of the packaging aside, lacing my fingers into Yoosung's own, smiling up at him gently.
"I'd love anything you give me. You could have painted a rock and I would keep it forever."
Yoosung giggled, shaking his head, his thumb tracing along my fingers gently. He tilted his head to the side, letting out a contented sigh as he gave my hands a gentle squeeze.
"I... I'm really happy with you, Saeran."
"You.. Are?" I spoke slowly, my eyes searching his face as he stared back at me. He nodded, bringing my hands to his lips, kissing them softly.
"Yeah. Really happy. I'm happy every day because of you."
I felt my entire body grow warm, a smile finding its way onto my lips. I removed one of my hands from his grasp, tucking some of his hair behind his ear, trailing my fingers along the curve of his jaw, resting my hand on his neck gently, bringing my face close to his, so my lips were centimetres away from his own.
"..Me too."
He tilted his chin, pressing his lips against mine, placing his hands on my chest softly, and I smiled internally as I realized he was drawing hearts with his finger tips against my skin. I sighed against his lips, drowning in the sensation of his gentle touches, his soft sighs, his tender gaze. I ran my hand through his silky hair, feeling like I would overflow with happiness at any moment because of this amazing man in my embrace.
Happy birthday to me.
Awe birthday Saeran!
And Saeyoung . but this story isn't about him~
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
