Title: ABC's of EunHae-- C: Cupcakes
Rating: PG
Pairing: HaeHyuk/EunHae
Summary: When you can't buy the world for him, you make your own.
A/N: Internet sucks at my end. For Hae's birthday, supposedly. For orangebondpaper and the best of birthdays.
Hyukjae's about to cry. And at the same time, he wants to smash something really hard. He's been going around the city with his car for almost two hours now but he still couldn't find any open pastry shop. Of course, he muttered to himself, what pastry shop would still be open at this ungodly hour? He thought that if it wasn't for Teukkie-hyung arriving late, hence delaying their CF shoot, he would've still been able to catch at least one café-pastry shop open. And he would've relaxed quite a bit because he could always rely on those 24-hour coffee shops, but the gods seem to hate him today-- said coffee shops only have those cakes on-display, no more on-stock, and those on display are more than a half-empty. He turned a sharp right as he tried racking his brains for more options.
How the hell is he going to find a cake for Donghae's birthday now?
It's only a few hours before Donghae returns from his CF shoot in Thailand, and since said birthday boy wouldn't be able to spend his special day with his family in Mokpo, Hyukjae thought he could at least do something special when the boy gets home. And a birthday cake would've solved everything.
But how in the world is he supposed to do that if he doesn't have a birthday cake to start with? Hyukjae was right about to give up when he saw a nifty convenience store deserted of customers. With no threats of him being spotted by fans, he knew it'd be worth the risk.
Paper bag in hand, Hyukjae had absolutely no idea what the hell he's done buying 24 chocolate cupcakes , M&Ms, sprinkles, and a can of whipped cream. He set a fancy tray on the kitchen counter (he'd have to thank Minnie for forcing them to buy that in China) and peeled the cupcakes off of its bottom wrappings. He was laying the 21st cupcake when Yesung entered the kitchen and grabbed one of the cupcakes.
"Hyung, take even a nib off that cupcake and I swear you'll be eating turtle soup for breakfast."
He was nervous, because one, Donghae's supposed to have arrived 10 minutes ago and two, the cream and the candles are about to give out. He was about to cry again when the door to the birthday boy's room opened.
"Hyukkie? Why are--"
"Happy birthday, Donghae-yah."
He saw the tired lines in Donghae's face disappear in a bright smile and an excited giggle as the other enthusiastically ran towards the other.
"Wow! A cake--" the other paused, Hyukjae thought he should've just opted for a slice of cake from Starbucks. "--are these cupcakes, Hyukkie?"
He nodded in response and just when he thought it wasn't possible, Donghae's smile turned brighter.
"Did you know I've been dying to eat cupcakes since days ago?"
He didn't know he held his breath until then.
"Then go ahead and make a wish, Hae. So you can start eating them."
"But you haven't sung Happy Birthday to me yet, Hyukkie."
"Yah! You're the singer between us."
Donghae snuggled closer as they sat on the bed and leaned on the wall.
"You wouldn't expect me to sing it to myself now, would you?"
Hyukjae succumbed to the other's request and he sang, as softly as he can as the other leaned on his shoulder, both of them mesmerized by the flicker of the candle light and the moment they were sharing.
He felt Donghae place a chaste kiss on his cheeks before blowing the candles out.
"Thank you, Hyukkie. You know I love you right? You and the cupcakes."
"I know. I love you, more actually, and for the record, I would've gone for that favorite cake of yours, I just wasn't able to catch the shop open. I’m sorry for that."
Donghae took the tray away and placed it on the table, nudging Hyukjae to lay on his bed thereafter.
"I love what you did with the cupcakes and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you, really. I love you for doing something for my birthday, even if you didn't have to."
"Of course I have to." They both smile.
"Let's sleep!"
"But Teukkie-hyung?"
"He said he'll be sleeping in your room tonight. " Hyukjae blushed at that.
And somehow, he wasn't mad at his Teukkie hyung for being late at that CF shoot anymore.
"Goodnight Hyukkie."
"Goodnight Hae. Happy birthday."
