HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! BRING ON 2010! WOOOT!
“Happy New Year, Sungmin.”
“Is that all?”
A chuckle. “Happy Birthday.”
*~
Sungmin groans as the blinding light from outside peek through the curtains to shine directly on him. It was a happy sun-filled morning, the beginning of the new day, the beginning of the New Year, and the beginning of his special day.
He moans softly as he stretches his arms and rolls onto his stomach, avoiding the light seeping through the baby pink curtains. Rubbing his eyes, he gets up on his elbows and looks around the room.
Something was different.
He looks around the floor beside the bed and sits up, the white cover sliding down his bare torso and bunching up on his lap.
Where was his mate?
Pouting slightly, Sungmin gets to his feet - grabbing a pair of jogging pants from the floor - as he moves to the bedroom bathroom. Wondering if his kitchen was a disaster from a trial of an attempt to cook by his other half, he quickly brushes his teeth and washes his face before padding down to the main room.
The coffee was made and waiting on the counter for him, along with a small piece of paper and a plate of a western breakfast - toast, eggs and orange juice. Smiling, Sungmin takes a sip of the coffee as he sits on the counter stool flipping open the paper.
Good morning Princess.
Shower and smell nice with the new cologne I bought you (2nd cabinet, 3rd shelf)
And go outside, front porch.
Love you. KH.
Sungmin can’t help the goofy smile tugging at his lips as his eyes glow with anticipation and his stomach flutters with happiness. Gulping down the eggs and almost choking on the toast, Sungmin quickly runs upstairs for a quick, but thorough, shower. (He chuckles as he sprays on the cologne; Kyuhyun’s loved Bulgari Aqua ever since they went out for shopping at the department store a month ago.)
Finding a pair of faded jeans and a comfortable shirt, Sungmin grabs a jacket and keys before heading downstairs again. Heart thrumming with anticipation, he opens the front door with more enthusiasm then necessary and steps out into the sunshine painted street.
Immediately, an arrow drawn on a piece of pink paper catches his attention. A large grin almost splitting his face appears on Sungmin’s face as he takes light bouncy steps out of driveway and onto the road. Another arrow waits for him, taped to the house mailbox, along with another note.
When I blow in the breeze, I make you smile brighter then the sun.
When you take me from my home and hold me close to your delicate face, you close your eyes and smell me.
You decorate and give me to the places and people you love.
What am I?
Scratching his cheek, Sungmin re-reads the note as he stands in the middle of the sidewalk. “I smell you…” He murmurs. Then, like a light bulb going off, his eyes flash with understanding and he is walking with determination behind each step. He liked scavenger hunts, and Kyuhyun was good at making them.
Sungmin catches his breath as he stops in front of a small building. Park’s Flower Emporium read the sign as Sungmin smiles brightly and is greeted by none-other then Mr. Park.
“Good morning Sungmin-sshi.” Jungsoo, the owner, says. His smile is friendly and polite, the shy dimples adding to his handsome face. “Happy New Year.”
“Hello Jungsoo-sshi.” Sungmin greets. “Happy New Year to you too.” He licks his lips and looks around, balancing on his heels.
Jungsoo chuckles and stops watering the plants. “Looking for something?” He asks, smiling at the cute face Sungmin makes.
“Has Kyuhyun come by yet?” Sungmin asks timidly, eyes wide and hopeful.
“I don’t think I’ve seen him if he has.” Jungsoo says apologetically. He nods to Sungmin and helps another customer needing assistance.
Pursing his lips, Sungmin’s hope dies slightly. What was he suppose to do now? Hands in his pockets, Sungmin walks closer to some of the flowers on display around the front doors of the shop. His eyes glint under the sun as he leans over and sniffs one of the unique looking flowers. Sweetness fills his nose as he closes his eyes and enjoys the authentic aroma. When he reopens his eyes, he marvels the beautiful color of the flower before spotting a piece of pink paper - hidden behind a bunch of tulips.
Grinning, he takes it and reads silently.
I am fluffy.
I am cute.
You adore me more then some, and cuddle me close.
What am I?
“Found what you were looking for?” Jungsoo asks, breaking Sungmin’s thoughts. He looks to the colorful flower and the paper in Sungmin’s hands and smiles. “Take that with you, it’s on me.”
Nodding and smiling brightly, Sungmin waves goodbye to the elder male before starting down the road in a light jog. He misses the knowing glint and pleased smile on Jungsoo face as he rounds the corner further down the street.
“Have a happy day, Sungmin-sshi.” Jungsoo whispers, the wind carrying his wish to the owner, as he continues to water the plants.
The door jingles - the bell hanging on top of the doorway ringing - as Sungmin enters, his hair slightly wind blown and a giddy smile on his lips.
“Welcome!” Came a cheerful voice from the counter. Donghae, a part time worker, smiles brightly when he notices Sungmin. “Hey, coming to see Nero again?”
Sungmin grins and nods as he moves further into the pet store - walking past puppies, cats and fishes - towards the rabbit section.
Smiling when his little buddy is the first one to recognize him, Sungmin picks up the small black bunny and pets him gently. “Hey Nero, had a good night’s sleep? Happy New Year little guy.” He whispers. And, as he expected, he finds a note in the same pink paper, taped to the side of the cage.
“Did you see daddy today?” Sungmin coos, lifting the bunny to his face. He giggles when he gets a small kiss. “Did you give him a kiss too? Or were you in a bad mood because he woke you up and scratched him?”
After a few more moments of playing with the small animal, Sungmin reluctantly says goodbye and puts him back in the small cage.
“I’ll see you next time, okay?” Sungmin says, blowing him a small kiss.
“Why don’t you just take him home with you?” Donghae teases, not looking up from his book - How to teach your Fish tricks. “You practically own him. I’m surprised nobody has bought him yet.”
Sungmin shrugs. “It’s more fun to visit him like this.” He chuckles when Donghae rolls his eyes. “Happy New Year Hae! I’m surprised you’re still awake, I thought you would be passed out from partying with Eunhyuk last night.”
Donghae sticks his tongue out at his friend as Sungmin waves cheerfully.
Find me…
Where our lips met for the first time.
Where we exchanged our feelings.
Where you and I became ‘us’.
Find me…
Heart leaping and pounding in his chest, Sungmin starts jogging again - the flower gripped tightly in his hand and the two notes placed gently in his back pocket.
After two buses and 15 minutes of walking Sungmin ends up at a secluded beach just outside of town. The sun was still shining high in the sky, but the January air was chilly enough to make him shiver under his thin jacket.
“Where are you?” Sungmin whispers, taking the bench - the fourth one from the left of the big oak on the beach.
He smiles as he traces random patterns on the bench, old memories resurfacing and making his stomach flip with joy and heart thump with hope. This was where everything started, where he found his true love, where he found his happiness. He looks up to the blue-gray sky, strands of sunlight painting it yellow and bright. This was where he, Lee Sungmin, lost his first kiss to the boy he loved.
“Close your eyes.” Came the low alluring voice behind him.
Fighting off the urge to turn around, Sungmin obeys quietly as he nibbles on his bottom lip. “What’s with making me walk around the city?” Sungmin complains, trying to hide the smile in his voice.
“Oh, just be quiet and keep your eyes closed.” Came the snarky reply. If he meant to be harsh, he was far from it. Sungmin giggles lightly and fiddles with the flower in his hand.
The soothing rhythmic sounds of the waves crashing against the shore fills his ears as the tangy salt air calms his excited nerves. Just when he thinks the other has disappeared, a soft voice breaks his thoughts - a singing voice.
“Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Sungmin. Happy Birthday to you.”
Sungmin’s smile widens as he tries hard not to open his eyes and look at owner of the gentle voice. “Can I open my eyes now?” He asks.
“Wait…” Came the soft whisper.
Sungmin does, lips pouting slightly as he sits there patiently. As he is about to ask again, a warm hand cups his cheeks and tilts his head back. Soft lips capture his parted ones in a warm captivating kiss; he didn’t need to see who it was, the kiss was familiar and full of passion for Sungmin to immediately know whom it was. He responds with excitement as he leans up towards the warm body and wrap arms around the neck. Eyes fluttering open when the kiss breaks, Sungmin meets the dark smoldering eyes of his other half. He smiles.
“Happy Birthday to you.” Kyuhyun sings again, the last line of the all-too-popular song.
Sungmin laughs and pecks Kyuhyun’s full lips. “Thank you.”
“I wanted to make this special for you.” Kyuhyun says sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck as he kneels between Sungmin’s knees. (He was tall enough to still be at eye level with the elder.) “I don’t know if I did well, but, tah-dah?” Kyuhyun says, smiling awkwardly.
Chuckling, Sungmin pinches Kyuhyun’s cheeks - to which the younger pouts - and hugs him close. “It was fun and memorable. Honestly, I didn’t expect for you to do anything like this.”
Kyuhyun grins. “Neither did I. But I wanted to do something for my special person’s special day.” He pulls back to look at Sungmin, eyes full of unspoken emotions - not that it needed to be spoken, since Sungmin could read them loud and clear.
“I love you.” Sungmin says, stomach fluttering when Kyuhyun’s eyes become dark and smoldering. “All I need is you and everyday is special to me.”
Kyuhyun smiles and leans forward for a kiss. “Then that’s good, cause I’m not going to be going anywhere soon.” Or ever.
A breathless giggle escapes Sungmin’s sealed lips as Kyuhyun runs feathery touches down his spine and chest. When Sungmin’s lips move down to place kisses down Kyuhyun’s long neck, he pulls away slightly to stare and laugh at the red mark on the younger’s neck. His shoulders shake as he slumps against Kyuhyun’s warm chest.
“Did Nero scratch you?” Sungmin says between chuckles.
Kyuhyun pouts and frowns at the elder. “Its not funny.” His eyes narrow when Sungmin continues to laugh.
“Oh, but it is.” Sungmin giggles. “Why does every animal you come in contact with hate you?”
Kyuhyun’s frown disappears as he smirks. “Because they’re jealous I have something that they can’t have.”
“And that is?” Sungmin asks, raising an eyebrow.
“You.” Kyuhyun states, sealing Sungmin’s lips for another kiss.
