"Come ooooonn. Get up," New pushed Tay and tried to roll him off the bed as the latter wouldn't budge.
Tay grunted and scratched the back of his head, his eyes still half closed as he looked at New who was glaring at him.
"For a nurse, you're quite harsh," Tay mumbled.
"Excuse me but one, I'm not your nurse and two, your hand's healed. So stop acting like you lost a limb. And for Pete's sake, the sun's about to burn the world outside but you're still lying in bed," he placed his hands on his hips as he ranted in front of Tay.
It had been two months since he started taking care of him and he must say every day was a tiring but fulfilling one.
When his father said Tay was a handful, he didn't expect it to be an understatement.
He didn't even know what was going on Tay's mind but he would just casually let him do things that were unreasonable like scratching his back or shaving his beard. He even went as far as making him brush his teeth. He no longer knew if he was taking care of a fully adult man or a five-year old kid.
Yeah, he knew it was his duty to take care of him but it had been months and he was starting to get suspicious of Tay's hand.
He glared at him and threw him a pillow.
"You should get up. Let's have breakfast," he said and marched out of the bedroom.

Tay glanced at New who was putting food on his plate.
He mentally grinned then glanced at his hand on top of the table.
The doctor called him yesterday that his cast could be removed as his wrist was fully healed but he refused to see him.
He was afraid New wouldn't give him extra attention if he was all healed and recovered so he just continued pretending to be hurt.
He opened his mouth as New aimed a spoonful at him.
"Hmmmm. You cook so well. You're gonna be a good husband."
"Tsss. I won't marry you if that happens. You're just gonna make me your slave," New scoffed at him and poured him a glass of water.
"I'll just satisfy you in bed to compensate for alhshsjsbxjjwjakalal."
He couldn't even finish his words as New shove a spoonful of rice down his throat. He coughed as he tried to swallow down the food.
"That filthy mouth of yours definitely needs cleaning. Why don't we drop by the dentist since it's a Saturday?" New had an evil grin on his face.
He just munched on his food, swallowing it before responding to New.
"Wow, yours is not clean itself. Remember the amount of curses you mutter every time I'm on top of you? They're more than enough to send you to hell."
He giggled as he watched New's face and ears turn red. He just loved it every time New blushed because of him.
"You know what, that mouth has to shut up for once. Nothing's coming out of your mouth but lewdness."
He just beamed at him as he propped his arms on the table and stared at New.
"What?"
"Nothing. I'm just happy to wake up and see you first thing in the morning. Just stay here will you? You don't have to go back to your unit."
"Tsss. You're not a kid anymore Tay. And besides I'm still paying for my unit. I just can't abandon it all of a sudden."
"Then sell it and live with me."
"Tsss. I still need a roof whenever we fight."
"Yah. Who says we're gonna fight again, huh?"
New just laughed at him and continued feeding him.

New glanced at Tay who was watching a movie in the living room. He was in the kitchen, washing the plates they used earlier when he thought of an idea.
He was having a gut feel that Tay was up to something so he planned on testing him.
He grabbed the bottle of ketchup and put some on the sole of his foot, just an ample amount to make Tay think that he got hurt.
He then dropped a plate on the floor, breaking it into pieces.
"OUCH!" he exclaimed and pretended to have stepped on the shards.
"What happened?!"
Tay then came rushing in the kitchen, asking him what happened.
"Holy shit! Babe are you okay??"
He started to fake cry and showed him his "bleeding" foot.
"It slipped from my hand," he replied as fake tears started welling up in his eyes.
Without hesitation, Tay swept him off the floor and carried him in his arms.
"W-wait! Uhm let me get the first aid kit," Tay nervously said as he made him sit on the couch.
New internally chuckled when he saw Tay panicked and went inside the bedroom.
He then heard his phone beeped and saw a message from Tay's mother.
From: Tay's Mom
Dear, can you accompany Tay in his doctor's appointment tomorrow? He needs his cast removed but that son of mine is not responding to his doctor's calls.
He squinted his eyes as he looked at the bedroom door.
To: Tay's Mom
Okay mom. I'll take care of it.
Minutes later, Tay then went outside with a box of first aid kit in his left hand.
"Your hand's not hurting anymore?" he giggled and laughed even more when Tay immediately transferred the box to his right hand.
"I-it's out of habit! You know I'm left handed so I tend to grab things with my dominant hand!"
He then approached him and wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
"Yah, you don't have to pretend anymore okay? I know you're completely healed. In fact, your mother just texted me to accompany you tomorrow for the removal of your cast."
Tay frowned and pouted his lips like he was about to cry.
"But that only means you're not gonna be taking care of me anymore."
He chuckled and pinched both of Tay's cheeks.
"I will still, okay? But as a full-time boyfriend already and not just a side trip nurse," he replied and kissed him on the lips.
"Wait! Your foot!" Tay exclaimed and broke their embrace to check his foot.
"Oh, don't worry, that's just ketchup."
"So you're not hurt??"
"No."
"My goodness, Neeeww! You scared the hell out of me! Come here!"
"Yah, what are you doing??" he stepped backward as Tay approached him but the back of his legs just hit the couch causing him to fall.
He shrieked when Tay grabbed his hands and pinned him on the couch.
"Taaaay, let me gooo," he protested as Tay held both of his hands and pinned them tightly on the couch.
"This is your punishment for lying to me."
"Hey, you lied about your injury too!"
"Then punish me as well," Tay whispered in his ear and he could only let out a moan as Tay started nibbling his neck.

"Aren't you gonna get back to work? You're all healed now," New asked.
They were currently in the living room, watching a random movie they saw on Netflix.
He was lying with his head on Tay's lap. They just got home from their appointment with the doctor and he was glad that Tay was all fine and healed.
"Nah. I asked dad for another week and he agreed," Tay replied and continued brushing his hair.
"Hin."
"Hmmm?"
"Thank you."
"Silly. It's nothing. I mean, taking care of you is something that I'll gladly do."
Tay stopped brushing his hair. He turned around to look at him.
"What's the matter?" he asked as Tay just stared at him.
"Thank you for not just taking care of me. Thank you also for loving me even if I didn't see and notice you. And thank you for waking up on my bed that morning."
He grabbed his hands and placed them on his chest.
"I didn't know you have an emotional side," he chuckled.
"Yah, I'm being serious here," Tay whined and frowned at him.
"I know. I couldn't thank you enough for finally noticing someone like me," he smiled at him and held his hands tighter.
"I love you," he whispered to Tay but he didn't answer.
Instead, Tay dipped down to kiss him fully on the lips.

New hummed a happy tune as he prepared their breakfast.
They were going back to work that day and he actually felt excited.
"Babe! Are you done getting dressed?!" he called out as he placed the cups of coffee on the table.
He then felt a kiss on his cheek and saw Tay beaming beside him.
"Tsss. You still don't know how to put a tie on properly," he complained and started fixing Tay's tie and collar.
"Thank you, babe," Tay said as he finished fixing his clothes.
"By the way, my mom and dad are inviting us over for dinner," Tay said as they both settled down on their seats.
"Sure. I miss them anyway. I haven't seen them in such a long time," he replied and placed rice on Tay's plate.
"What?" he asked in wonder when noticed Tay staring at him.
"Is it just me or you're getting cuter every day?"
He snorted and rolled his eyes at him.
"Tsss. You're just hungry. Come on or we'll be late."
When Tay's hand got all healed, they got into another argument about where he should stay.
Tay insisted that he live with him while he didn't want to leave his unit empty.
So to compromise both of their wants, they took turns in sleeping at each other's unit.
"What? I'm stating a fact here. You're indeed getting cuter every day."
He just grinned at him and didn't argue any longer.

Tay glanced at New who was busy typing some documents. He propped his hands on the table and just stared at him.
"What?" New asked. He might have felt his intent stares.
"Nothing. I never thought you're this hardworking."
New just snickered at him and went back to typing.
"Come here. I need you to do something."
"Yah, I haven't even finished this one and now you're letting me do something again," New grumbled as he walked towards him.
"For a secretary, you're quite a complainer," he chuckled.
"What do you want me to do, Sir?" New retorted, putting much emphasis on the last word.
He gestured New to stand beside him to which New obliged.
He then tapped his lap to tell New what he needed to do.
"Huh?" New asked in confusion so he just dragged his hand and made him sit on his lap.
He then pressed the intercom to call Pluem.
"Pluem, do not let anybody enter my office, not even my parents."
Yes sir.
"Yah, this scene is quite familiar," New commented.
He just didn't say a thing and just side hugged New.
"Do you wanna go somewhere this weekend? We can have a vacation."
"Tsss. We've already spent two months doing nothing."
"Get your laptop."
"Huh? Why?"
"Just get it."
New then stood and got the laptop from his table. He then grabbed the laptop from New and placed it on his table. He then dragged New's hand and made him sit in between his thighs.
"Yah, what are you doing???" New tried to stand but he held him tightly in place.
"You continue whatever you're typing," he replied and snaked his arms on New's waist.
"Are you crazy? How are you expecting me to work properly in this position??!"
But he didn't reply and just tightened his arms around his waist. He then placed his chin on New's shoulder.
New just sighed indicating that he had given up. He just watched in silence as New's fingers went over the keyboard.
"Okay I'm done. Can I stand now?" New said as he finished saving the document.
"Hmmmmm. Let's stay like this for a while," he replied and snuggled New closer.
New placed his hands on top of his and leaned closer to his body.
"Hin."
"Hmmmm?"
"Remember that day when you confessed to me?"
"Yes. Why?"
"I just wanna say sorry for hurting you back then."
"Tsss. It's all in the past now. Don't worry about it."
"But still I made you cry that day."
"Y-you saw me crying?"
"Yeah. I saw you crying while hugging Gun. I didn't get it but it also made my heart ache at that time."
New shifted his position and faced him halfway.
"Don't worry about it okay. It's fine. I wasn't really expecting anything that time," New said and cupped his face.
"Still I'm sorry."
New nodded his head and caressed his face.
"I know it still feels like a dream but I'm so happy to have you now," New smiled and nuzzled his nose.
"Yeah, me too," he replied and hugged New tighter, much tighter this time.
