Note: Might contain errors^^ Happy Birthday dearest Kim Jongwoon! We love you^^ (especially Kyuhyun! XD)
Kyuhyun admired the table he arranged for this special night. The set-up of the table is pretty nice if you ask him. He needed to get the plates and utensils only meant for special occasions, which their mothers said a necessity, from their display closet. Kyuhyun got a bad time cleaning and washing the dusty wares which were last used on their anniversary, April 13 (of course after Kyuhyun's birthday). Even if took him a lot of energy and effort, he was willing to do all the work done if it meant that he can make the birthday of Jongwoon extra special.
He looked at the clock, by this time Jongwoon must be heading home. He was aware that his lover went to his parents house after finishing his job. Jongwoon always got his family (and Kyuhyun, if it wasn't too obvious) on top of his priorities in life, their happiness and well-being comes first. Kyuhyun can't compare himself to the older (yes, Jongwoon's almost 4 years older than him, but who cares?) when it comes to being a filial son and he loves Jongwoon more for that. He got the reheated dishes Ryeowook and Sungmin prepared earlier, for they were afraid that Kyuhyun can't cook something decent for the occasion (and they were right, Kyuhyun admitted to himself when he made a toxic goo in an attempt to make carbonara sauce), and placed it around the cake Donghae and Hyukjae made (thank goodness Donghae was taking baking lessons) for their beloved Hyung. All of their friends wanted to celebrate Jongwoon's birthday together but Kyuhyun managed to persuade them to do it the next day (for he wanted to be alone with Jongwoon. Yes, Cho Kyuhyun is selfish, especially when it comes to his lover.)
After checking what's missing, he went to clean himself and to get the wine and the candle for the cake. He slightly opened the door to their entertainment room to check how their other family members were doing and saw Kkoming drowsing off in the basket (which is good, because it meant she will not cause any problem, mainly getting Jongwoon's attention away from Kyuhyun). Feeling a little guilty for being jealous over their pet dog, Kyuhyun decided to pat the sleeping dog's head.
"Hey Kkoming, wanna celebrate Jongwoon's birthday later with us?..." he hesitantly asked as he rubbed Kkoming's fur.
Kkoming slightly opened his eyes and then yawned and slept again, snuggling on its small turtle plushie, as if telling Kyuhyun 'I'm not interested.'
Kyuhyun happily nodded and gave the dog a final pat before leaving it alone and placing some dog food on its bowl (just in case it got hungry or something, which will lead to interrupting Jongwoon and Kyuhyun for whatever they will do later *wink wink*). He then moved to the aquarium where the two turtles were hanging out. There was supposed to be three turtles but because of Ddangkoma's size, they needed to give him to the nearest aquarium. Jongwoon was depressed because he thought he can't provide shelter for his family member and Kyuhyun needed to reassure that it wasn't his lover's fault. In order to make things fine, Kyuhyun promised to Jongwoon that they would visit the turtle at least once a week. He also swore that when they get so rich he'll make sure their 'mansion' will have a lot of space for Jongwoon's turtles (Kyuhyun said that Jongwoon can even take care of more turtles if he want). Back to the current situation, he found them already inside their shells so Kyuhyun assumed that they were sleeping. He turned off the light and silently closed the door.
He next went to their shared room and refreshed himself for 5 minutes. He wore one of his favorite shirt, a sapphire blue button-up shirt which Jongwoon bought for his 21st birthday, and his best jean. After putting some musk on and checking his reflection on the mirror, he got the candles for the cake and the expensive red wine he bought during their trip to Paris (which caused him a fortune). Kyuhyun couldn't help but compare Jongwoon with wine. Just like wine, as Jongwoon gets old, he keeps on getting better.
Kyuhyun returned to the table and placed the candle on the cake Donghae and Eunhyuk made (though he still got no idea how it tastes) and placed the wine beside the two glasses. His phone suddenly beeped, indicating he received a message.
From: Jongwoon love
I'm already outside^^
Don't keep me waiting Kyu.
Kyuhyun groaned. He thought Jongwoon doesn't have any idea about his surprise but he must be too obvious. It is not every day that Kyuhyun wakes up early and leaves breakfast (which he bought on the nearest cafe) with a note:
Dear Jongwoon,
Good morning^^
Eat your breakfast and have a nice day handsome!
I love you ;)
Always,
Kyuhyun
Ps. I know how much you love me too^^ you're crazy for me, just as how much I'm crazy for you
He groaned. He shouldn't have left that note. Now, his surprise was already exploited. He decided to pretend nothing's planned and replied:
From: Kyu^^
You can walk perfectly fine, right?
Can't come inside on your own?
He immediately regretted pressing the send button when he thought that he might hurt his lover's feeling. Jongwoon loves (and will continue loving him till their dying days) him even if he is very mischievous, snarky and bad (but hey! Jongwoon is bad too!) He was typing another reply when Jongwoon sent another message.
From: Jongwoon
Actually I'm limping... Because someone was too energetic yesterday. ;D
Didn't know we can last for that long.
Kyuhyun blushed as he read the message. It's not his fault that they actually did IT for the whole night, when they were waiting for Jongwoon's birthday. Actually, he was proud of their achievement. Seeing Jongwoon sweating like that as he blushed harder and breathe faster, after they finished another round. He smirked as he replied:
From: Kyu^^
Yah! It's not my fault!
It's yours! You're the one who bought that WII.
I suggested that we play with PS3 or our laptop yesterday, but you insisted on playing that and the new sports game that you bought!
He gently placed the unlit candles in the cake and decided to finally get his other half waiting outside, not wanting to spoil himself about the surprise.
He peeked out of their door leading outside and saw Jongwoon, who's smiling like a fool while typing on his phone (quite similar to the smile on Kyuhyun's face), facing the side of the car. Kyuhyun sneakily made his way to Jongwoon and place one of his hands on his eyes to cover them. His other hand playfully tickled his lover's side before possessively wrapping it around Jongwoon's waist.
Jongwoon giggled at the action and melted at his lover's arms, "I was about to reply to you that you need to play WII in order for you to move your body you lazyKyu."
Kyuhyun grinned and hugged his lover tighter. He doesn't like when other people calls him with pet names but Jongwoon was an exception for everything. The older calls Kyuhyun with a lot of nicknames that are appropriate with the situation. GameKyu (the most used one), SleepingKyu, EatingKyu, EvilKyu, CuteKyu, ChildishKyu, HandsomeKyu, PrinceKyu, PerfectKyu etc. "Hey! I'm not that lazy, I help and contribute in everything."
"Hmm? Fine. Whatever you say." Jongwoon said before the two of them turned silent, just enjoying their comfortable position.
Kyuhyun sniffed at the older's hair and smiled. Jongwoon got a unique smell that he really found luring and enchanting. Once, he found himself sniffing on Jongwoon's hair when he was on the process of tickling him. His assault on the older halted and he just tightly hugged him closer to smell the addicting smell he can't get enough of.
"Kyuhyun you are smelling me again, like a dog," Jongwoon said.
"I'm not!" Kyuhyun defended as he finally snapped out of sniffing at the other's scent.
"Seriously, you're worse than Kkoming." Jongwoon giggled and Kyuhyun whimpered.
"How about we go inside now?" asked the older. Jongwoon grabbed Kyuhyun's hand and placed it over his eyes again.
"Okay. Okay." Kyuhyun adjusted his hands and started leading the inside their house.
Once they were in, Kyuhyun removed his hand blocking Jongwoon's vision after saying, "Would you mind closing your eyes so you wouldn't spoil my wonderful surprise to you?"
Jongwoon chuckled as he replaced Kyuhyun's hand with his own. "Fine."
Kyuhyun hurriedly lit the candle on the cake and went to his lover's side again. "You can look now."
Jongwoon did what he was told and smiled when he saw Kyuhyun's attempt to be "romantic".
"Not bad," Jongwoon said as he circled the table Kyuhyun prepared. "Too bad you can't surpass my surprise for you."
"I really wonder why other people think that you're nicer than me." Kyuhyun rolled his eyes and his lover chuckled. "When you always give bitter remarks." Kyuhyun was not hurt by Jongwoon's comment about his surprise, he just wanted to tease his lover back through another method.
"Because they don't really know who Jongwoon is, unlike Kyuhyun who can easily pin point, recognize, feel, know and tell everything about me." He hugged Kyuhyun from the back and whispered directly to his ear. "Thank you Kyu, I really appreciate it... I love you."
Kyuhyun wasn't expecting that Jongwoon would immediately ceasefire but he was happy hearing that coming from his love. He smiled and spun around to face Jongwoon and also whispered, "I love you too..." before kissing Jongwoon fully in the lips.
It all started as a chaste kiss and then Kyuhyun started moving and molding his lips against Jongwoon. He smiled thinking how their lips perfectly fit each other. Both of them got involved in quite a few relationships before, they're not even each other's first kiss, but they have never felt this intensity of love before. And they both doubt that they'll ever feel this for other people.
Kyuhyun actually stalked Jongwoon when they first met. He followed the older from the train station to the university (only to find out that they were schoolmates) because he's interested by the weird aura and feeling Jongwoon was emitting. In addition, he started gathering information about him and every little thing that he Kyuhyun discovered about Jongwoon helped him fall in love with the older. But having enough of his one-sided love, he decided to start planning and organizing way for him to get closer to Jongwoon, or better make the older feel the same way as Kyuhyun do. He suddenly approached Jongwoon while he's stalking him (again) and introduced himself but the older doesn't seem to be surprised at all at his sudden introduction; he was cheerfully smiling at Kyuhyun while they shook their hands. As he got closer to Jongwoon and his friends, Kyuhyun learned that the older was aware of his stalking crime the younger committed. He thought that will end everything but in contrary it was the start of their beautiful relationship, for Jongwoon found Kyuhyun's actions cute and lovable. Since there, they continued founding a good relationship up until now.
Sure, they have their differences, childish quarrels etc but that never ended or broke their bond with each other instead.
Jongwoon was the first to pull back after placing another peck on Kyuhyun's red lips. They were both smiling at each other. "We should eat first."
"Can't it wait?" Kyuhyun grinned playfully as he tightened his hug and smacked the butt of Jongwoon.
"Whatever naughty things you are thinking should be kept aside for a while," Jongwoon hit Kyuhyun's head with his right hand. He pushed the younger away and placed his hands inside the front pockets of his pants. "Later. Let's eat first."
"No!" Kyuhyun hugged Jongwoon from his right side. He clung on the other and placed his clasped hands over his lover's waist. Pleasingly, he started rocking their bodies together.
Jongwoon sighed. "Patience is a virtue Kyu. If you're a good boy you'll be rewarded."
Kyuhyun stopped but he didn't let go of the older. "Rewarded by what?"
Seeing the glint of interest in Kyuhyun's eyes, Jongwoon's lips curved in a sexy way and whispered to Kyuhyun, "Something really special."
At that moment, Kyuhyun felt electricity crawling over his body. The older always gave that effect to him. "Then I'll be a good boy," he grinned as he assisted his lover to his chair.
Surprisingly, Jongwoon kissed him on the cheeks before he can move to his place.
Kyuhyun grinned again as he sat on his chair in front of Jongwoon's. His grin must look silly for Jongwoon was chuckling as he stared at the younger.
"What?"
Jongwoon shook his head. "Nothing."

"Have you thought about what'll happen if we were idols or something?"
Kyuhyun asked as the two of them slouched together at their couch. He just finished drinking another glass of wine. It was his second serving. He managed to make Jongwoon drink some wine even if he’s aware his lover isn’t very amused of any alcoholic beverage. Then he grabbed the plate of cake and started munching on some before feeding Jongwoon.
"Eh? You mean singers?"
"Yeah," Kyuhyun nodded as he fed Jongwoon another piece of cake. "Something like that."
After munching on the cake, Jongwoon replied, "I really haven't thought about that. You know that I'm not really confident enough with my skills."
"You should be more self-esteem love! Your voice is the best!"
"Your just being biased Kyu... But thank you for the compliment," Jongwoon pinched Kyuhyun's cheeks. "Your voice is very beautiful too. So if ever we were in an alternate universe where we are idols, you will be topping the charts without any effort."
"Hey! That can't happen! We're supposed to be band mates or something! I won't allow the two of us to be rivals! I never imagined that!"
"Fine, then what did you imagined it would be?" Jongwoon raised his eyebrow.
"Well... We will be in the biggest idol group that will be famous worldwide!"
"Biggest idol group?" Jongwoon amusedly asked.
"Yes! We will be in a 13 member group!"
"13?"
"It will be consisted with us and our friends! Jungsu, Heechul, Hangeng, You, Youngwoon, Donghee, Sungmin, Hyukjae, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum and me! I'll be the maknae of the group! We will be undefeatable!"
"You included everyone?" Jongwoon amusedly asked. "Cute."
Kyuhyun blushed at the statement, "I'm not cute... But if you say so."
Jongwoon chuckled as he pinched the younger's cheeks. "Why did I forgot that you always take compliments seriously?"
"YAH! You mean I'm not cute?!" Kyuhyun objected. He tends to act very childish when it comes to his friends, especially his lover.
"You can't even act cute."
"Pardon! I can do it quite well."
"Hmmm? Can I see?" Jongwoon challenged.
Kyuhyun grumbled before covering his face with his large hands. Once he uncovered his face, he winked at Jongwoon. His mouth was slightly agape as he tried cutely winking again at the older.
Jongwoon laughed as he poked at his Kyuhyun's cheeks. "You are hopeless in aegyo, but, I guess you're truly cute Kyu."
Kyuhyun grunted and he stopped his act. "How about you try it Jongwoon?"
"Sorry but I won't."
"Why?! I fulfilled your request."
"Well, today's my birthday, not yours. Maybe next February." Jongwoon teased as he fed Kyuhyun another piece of cake, which the younger accepted unwillingly.
"Hmmp. Your gun act can't rival my aegyo." Kyuhyun remembered how Jongwoon overacted a scene of being shot. His face show pure fear and his lips and body were trembling as Kyuhyun pointed the imaginary gun on his head. And, when Kyuhyun let out a bang sound, the older skillfully fell down as if he was really shot. He was really amazed by his lover's being-shot-acting-skills but deep inside him he knew he'll never point a gun and shoot Jongwoon. But, he didn't manage to tell that to Jongwoon since he made the younger laugh crazily when he twitched a little after being "shot" for quite some time. The older asked why Kyuhyun laughed at his superb acting and the younger replied that he resembled a twitching cockroach that's about to die.
"Psshh.. I'm better than you." retorted Jongwoon.
"Let's just call it a draw so I can continue what we were talking about earlier ok?" Jongwoon nodded and Kyuhyun continued talking. "I have thought of the name for our group too! It will be called Superman!"
"Superman?"
"Because we will be indestructible! We will be number 1 and we will be famous all over the world!"
"Kryptonite. Superman got a weakness, Kryptonite." Jongwoon thoughtfully replied as he scratched his head. "Batman is better than Superman if you ask me. He got a lot of qualities-"
"Okay. Okay. I don't need to hear the amazing qualities of your favorite superhero fanboy." Kyuhyun cut-off. "You had been talking about batman non-stop after we watched Dark Knight Rises. And, you watched the trilogy during our movie time for more than 10/11 times! I had enough."
Jongwoon frowned, "But batman is so great that you can't stop yourself from watching it again and again. And-"
"Stop!" Kyuhyun halted Jongwoon while massaging his temples. He was about to say something harsh but he managed to stop himself when he remembered that today's Jongwoon's birthday. He was reminded of his last birthday where his lover allowed him to talk about everything he likes without the older responding negatively. It must be hard for Jongwoon to listen about gaming, wines, Titanic etc. without saying anything bad. So, to show how much he appreciated that act, Kyuhyun is willing to hold back snarky and harsh comments. Instead, he asked, "How about you think of a good name for our group?"
Jongwoon happily agreed. "If we combine Superman at Batman it will turn out either SuperBat or ManMan, which both sound weird and unappealing."
"True."
"Let's keep the word 'Super' and think of something to add to it..."
"Super Idols?"
"Too general. How about Super Singers?"
"But the other members specialize dancing." Kyuhyun tapped on the table. "Super Handsome? All of us are very handsome if you ask me! Even if Heechul, You, Sungmin and Ryeowook look more feminine."
"Shut up brat," Jongwoon playfully hit Kyuhyun's arm. "I didn't know that it is this hard thinking of a group's name."
"Yeah," Kyuhyun nodded. "And to think that there are a lot of groups debuting everyday. The names keep on evolving that the senior's idol group names sound so old. We need a name that will leave a young and refreshing image."
"Something like... Junior?"
"That's it! Super Junior! You're so intelligent Jongwoon!" Kyuhyun exclaimed as he hug the older. In fact, he was exaggerating quite a bit for he wanted to find another excuse to hug his lover. In addition, he was quite shy when expressing his love for the other when they were just courting each other and Jongwoon was aware of that so the older was always the one to start skinship. But over the time, Kyuhyun managed to innovate a way to show his affection and that is through bullying and teasing the other. At first Kyuhyun was afraid that Jongwoon will be angry and annoyed (well sometimes he does) but he got assurance that the older knew that's how he convey his love when Jongwoon answered Donghae's question: Doesn't Kyu annoy you? He was taken aback by the question of their fish loving friend for he's not yet ready to know how Jongwoon feels. But hearing Jongwoon answer: That's how Kyuhyun shows how much he loves me, made him feel bliss. But being the proud and snarky maknae he was, he denied it and proceeded with bullying and teasing Jongwoon (and Donghae too). Thank goodness that he doesn't find it hard to start skinship for it will be a great loss not hugging Jongwoon.
Jongwoon allowed Kyuhyun to hug him tighter. "You're just finding a way to hug me," the older teased. "You sneaky maknae."
"What-?!"
"Nothing." Jongwoon laughed again. "I think that having an idol group with everybody would be fun and fulfilling. We would be given a chance to perform and sing to everyone. We might even have performances and concerts overseas."
Kyuhyun can see how Jongwoon's eyes twinkled as he continued speaking. "I wish we'll also have fans that will stay by our side as long as we're Super Junior."
"Our fans will be called ELFs." Kyuhyun said and smiled at the older. He adjusted his position but he kept his right arm over Jongwoon's shoulders.
"ELFs? Just like the characters on your games?"
He shook his head. "ELFs as in everlasting friends."
"Everlasting friends?" Jongwoon said as if he's tasting the words as it rolled out of his mouth.
Kyuhyun nodded vigorously. "And the official color of our fan club would be blue!"
"Blue? But that's your favorite color... Can't it be red instead?"
Kyuhyun pouted at Jongwoon, "But I want a sea of blue."
Jongwoon chuckled as he ruffled Kyuhyun's hair. "Fine, we'll have a sea of sapphire blue whenever we perform or have concerts."
The younger let out a sound of success before effectively clinging at the older again like a koala. "There's another thing, I have thought of a stage name for you."
"A stage name for me? Isn't Jongwoon not enough?"
"No! I mean, your name's enough but I have thought that 'Yesung' would suit you too..." Kyuhyun silently hid his blushing face by resting his head in the side of Jongwoon's neck. He slightly moved his head back when he saw goose bumps starting to erupt on his lover's neck due to the way his breathe tickle the other. He fought the urge to run his lips on the older's flawless neck after reminding himself that this is not the time for that (and figuring he'll have a lot of time to do that later.)
"Yesung," Jongwoon's lips pursed upward as he mouthed another word that Kyuhyun thought of. The younger got a strange hobby of creating words and phrases just as much as correcting every mispronunciation of words by Jongwoon. Why does it sound familiar? Have he heard it before? Art like voice, doesn't it sound too poetic or perfect for Jongwoon? Digging his memory, he finally remembered when and where he heard that word. "If my memory serves me correctly, that's your nickname for me when you're still stalking me, right?" The smugness in his face must be too evident.
Kyuhyun gape at Jongwoon with awestruck expression. How Jongwoon did knew about that? He never told anyone of the pet name he decided to call the older when he still hasn’t discovered the other's real name was. Okay, except for the moment when Jongwoon was having a nap in the empty music room and Kyuhyun got the boldness to come nearer, brush some of his stray hair and whisper 'Yesung.' During that time, he got no idea that Jongwoon's too sensitive and that the older was a light sleeper so he recklessly grabbed the given opportunity to get closer the other without rationally thinking of anything else other than Jongwoon. That's the only situation he can think of.
"I-I wasn't stalking you." Kyuhyun shyly stuttered.
"Hmmm.... Evading the main question?" Jongwoon hummed as he held Kyuhyun's hand on his side. "What do you call 'stalking' on Kyuhyun's terms?"
"I was simply following the winds of fate," Kyuhyun defended as he ducked his head and hid again in the space in Jongwoon's neck. "And you're the one who bumped against me in the train station. So it's your entire fault."
"Okay then lover boy." Jongwoon chuckled again. Kyuhyun's way of thinking is sometimes weirder than his own (even more peculiar compared to Heechul). The younger one seems too really have a lot of fantasies towards destiny. "I'm really thankful for your birthday surprise for me. I'm really touched."
Kyuhyun coughed and blushed. "It's nothing. You know I can do everything right?"
"Yeah, even if it's forced and you’re very resourceful."
"What do you-!?" Kyuhyun didn't manage to finish what he was saying for Jongwoon decided it was a good time to kiss the younger.
"I love you Cho Kyuhyun. Thank you very much for making my birthday so special," Jongwoon whispered as he stared straight Kyuhyun's doe eyes.
"I love you too Kim Jongwoon..." Kyuhyun whispered back before trying to capture Jongwoon's lips again but the other stopped him.
"I have something more to say. I really like your idea of an alternate world where we are some kind of idols but I think it'll be harder for us to show how much we love each other... So I think I'll prefer this universe where we can show each other's affection without holding back."
Kyuhyun smiled back at Jongwoon. "Whatever alternate universe or world we are, I know that we'll always end up falling in love with each other. Destiny will find a way to bring the two of us together!"
"Why are you so cheesy? Eww!" Jongwoon acted disgusted but his expression betrayed him. He's positively pleased by what Kyuhyun said and he was grinning like a fool.
"Oh you know you love me for that. It's not usual you'll have a boyfriend who'll imagine an alternate universe with you!" Kyuhyun grinned as he closed the distance between the two of them and whispered against Jongwoon's lips, "Happy Birthday Jongwoon."
The end!
*you must noticed the drastic change in the style of writing after the cut... I wrote it part by part and I hurried so I can finish it on time (there are skips =_=;)... so forgive me TT^TT
