AU based on GMMTV Side by Side #3 video
The thing is B looked good for 35. Some would argue he doesn't look a day over 28. And while he was flattered, he knew a lot has changed.
Fine lines near his piercing brown eyes. A back that hurt whenever he'd sleep "wrong."
Life was also different. While he was still globally known, he lead a quieter life with a much quieter schedule. He wondered sometimes if slowing down was the right choice. He wonders if he should have pushed himself more. If this was truly enough.
"Penny for your thoughts?," a familiarly soothing voice breaks B's reverie.
"I'd like to think my thoughts are worth more than a penny," B says, his cupid mouth smirking upwards as his eyes turn to meet W's.
"How about a kiss for your thoughts then?," W teases, ruffling B's hair before taking a seat right beside him.
"That's more like it," B replies, grinning wider. Almost by instinct, B shifts his body closer to W.
W is good on his offer. Their lips meet. Like a favorite memory, the sensation envelops him head to toe. He leans in to it and W draws him in, fingers playing on his chest then his arms then his hair.
W kisses can be described a lot of ways. Sparkles and fireworks come immediately to mind. Also ice cream and hot lava. But right now, it was like a bright light. Clearing away the cobwebs, dispelling every doubt and fear. Reminding him of who he was - who they were.What they are and forever will be to each other.
W pulls away but B keeps him close, hands steady on the other's hips. "So," W says. "Payment has been made. What's the thought?"
"I was thinking of our life together. How wonderful it has been."
"You sure that's all?"
"That and I really need to stop eating chips at night. It's giving me indigestion."
"Are you sure that's all?," W asks again, voice light but eyebrows furrowed.
"Well, there was one more thing."
"What is it?"
"I believe one more thought means one more kiss."
W nuzzles against B before kissing B's lips softly.
"Now you'll tell me?," W asks, face still close.
"I was thinking just how much I love you."
Twelve years together. It has been so long but always feels so short. Like it was just yesterday when he was stunned into silence when W waved hello for the first time. A fact W will never let him forget.
Why he'd ever second guess this life is ridiculous. Blasphemy even. When this life was a blessing like no other.
To be with the one you love most in the world is proof one has made the right decisions. Has chosen the right life.
Wherever W was, that was where B was meant to be.
Life can change. But it will never change that. Never change them.
