"TAY TAWAN!"
New trudged towards the living room, his nose flaring as he stood with his hands on his hips in front of Tay.
"Urgh! Tay I told you to put your used clothes in the bin! Don't just leave them everywhere. I even found this hanging on the desk lamp!" he threw the boxers on Tay's face.
Tay just removed the boxers from his face and grinned at him, then continued watching some weird animal fight on the TV screen.
He grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.
It had been 3 months since they got married and New was literally starting to get wrinkles.
He didn't even know if he married a fully grown man or a five-year old kid.
After being married, Tay's parents gifted them with a fully furnished house.
Tay suggested getting a helper but he wasn't comfortable with having other people getting inside their house.
And as much as possible, he wanted to take care of Tay himself since it was just still the two of them.
But as of the moment, he was starting to doubt if he made the right decision of not getting a helper considering how messy Tay could be.
There were mornings when he would just step on some random yellow powder on the kitchen floor or find out that Tay missed the toilet bowl for the nth time and peed on the floor instead.
They had also consulted for surrogacy, but they weren't really in a hurry. As much as possible, they wanted to spend time together as a couple first before building their own family.
"Urgghh! Are you listening?!" he exclaimed and straddled Tay, choking him lightly.
Tay just laughed at him and grabbed his waist, stroking it lightly to pacify him.
"Okay, okay, fine. I won't do it again, okay? I promise," Tay beamed at him.
"Tssss. You've been saying that for the past three months," he scowled and attempted to get off Tay but Tay held his waist firmly.
"Let's stay like this for a while. You only get to be on top of me on rare occasions," Tay teased and nuzzled his neck.
"Pervert!" he exclaimed and hit Tay's shoulders.
"Come on we have to get ready. We'll be late for Apple's birthday," he tapped Tay's shoulder and got off him.
"Can we just stay here and cuddle? I don't feel like partying," Tay complained and sprawled on the sofa instead of getting up.
"She's gonna shave your head if you don't show up so get your ass moving because we only have half an hour to get there."

New squinted his eyes as the lights directly hit his face, blurring his vision.
Apple's party was being held in The Groove. Apparently, she rented the whole place just for the night.
They weaved through the crowd, passing by some of Apple's friends and his former workmates. He could see Earth sitting by the bar counter, talking to some guy.
He smirked when he saw Earth placing his hand on top of the guy's thigh.
"THERE'S MY FAVORITE COUPLE!!!"
He laughed as he looked at Apple strutting towards them. She looked stunning in her red fitted dress with her hair in big curls.
"Happy birthday to our favorite girl," he greeted and gave her a hug.
"Here. We hope you'll like this," Tay handed her the gift they picked.
"Oh jeeezzz! You really didn't have to but I don't say no to gifts!" she exclaimed.
"Holy shit!" she gasped as she opened the paper bag.
"You're asking me to like this?? This a limited edition Gucci bag for fuck's sake! I don't just like it! I luuuurrrrrvvv itt!"
She was literally jumping in joy and hugged the bag right there and then.
"Oh, I'm so using this right now! Come on, I've got you a table."
She then grabbed him and Tay and led them to a table away from the crowd.
"Okay, just tell me whatever you need. We've got food, drinks and you can request any song you like. Just tell me okay?" she beamed at them.
"No need to worry about us. Just enjoy the night okay birthday girl?" New cupped her cheeks and pressed them softly.
"Oooohhh. You're just the sweetest Newwiieee. Can I have you instead??"
"Tsss. You go find your own."
He laughed as Tay grabbed him away from Apple.
"Gosh! I'm just kidding! Tsss. You're so possessive!" she rolled her eyes jokingly and flipped her hair.
"Okay, Imma head over there, okay. You enjoy the night, too. See you later sweets," she kissed his cheeks and just made a face at Tay before strutting away from them.
"You always bicker with Apple," he remarked as they both sat down on the couch.
Tay just answered him with a laugh and snuggled him closer.
"You should be thankful to her. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have married an awesome person that is me," he raised his eyebrow at Tay.
"Tsss. I know. I'm just teasing her. And besides, who said you're awesome?"
"Oh reallly?? So you're saying that I'm not? Okay, fine. Let's file for a divorce first thing tomorrow," he scowled at him and moved away.
"What I'm saying is, awesome is an understatement because you are beautiful. You are amazing. You are marvelous. And most of all, you are mine," Tay scooted closer as he said every line.
"Urrgghh. Geeez. Why are we getting so cheesy in the middle of a room filled with party animals," he scoffed and just let Tay snuggle him.
"But I love seeing you getting wild in the middle of our room."
"Oh, shut up."
______
They'd been drinking and munching on some food when Earth joined their table.
"So how's married life so far?" Earth asked.
"Ugh. It feels like I'm raising a kid," he grunted thus earning a chortle from Tay.
"At least I'm your one and only kid," Tay smirked at him and nuzzled his nose.
"Tsss. More of a spoiled brat."
Earth laughed at them and grabbed a beer bottle from the table.
"Nothing has indeed changed. You still bicker a lot," Earth remarked as they clinked their bottles together.
"Tsss. More of I rant a lot because of him," he rolled his eyes at Tay.
"Ohhhh. But I know you love me and I love youuu," Tay clung to his arm.
Earth scoffed at them.
"I didn't know you're the clingy type, Tay," Earth chuckled and chugged his beer.
"Only with New though," Tay replied and started kissing his arm.
"Tsss. I know you're trying to make me jealous Tay but you failed. I'm so over New. In fact," Earth then raised his phone and showed them a photo of him being kissed on the cheek by some guy.
"Ohoooh! Congratulations Earth!" he smiled as he looked at the photo.
"Congratulations, dude," Tay clinked his bottle with Earth's.
"Don't drink too much Tay. You still need to drive."
"Yes, your majesty."
"Tsss. I'll just go to the restroom."
"You want me to come with you?"
"Nah. I'll be quick."
_____
He frowned as he didn't see Tay and Earth when he came back.
He roamed his eyes to look for Tay but failed to see him in the sea of people who were dancing like some recently uncaged animals.
He squinted his eyes to get a better view of the surroundings as he continued moving forward, slightly brushing the people aside.
He rolled his eyes as he found him alone by the bar counter. He was about to advance forward when all of a sudden, a woman dressed in red latched her hands on Tay.
Tay didn't seem to notice him so he decided to get nearer to get his attention when the woman's statement made him froze in his position.
"Oh my gosh, Tay! I missed you. Like I haven't seen you ever since we broke up. Like how many years had it been? 6 or 7?"
Tay smiled at her. Well, he wouldn't really mind but what irritated him the most was the fact that Tay didn't even bother removing her hands that were still latched on his arm.
He crossed his arms across his chest and stomped his feet repeatedly as he continued listening at their back.
"Hey, Sam. How you've been?"
"Ohhh, I've been good. But I would have been better if we were still together."
He rolled his eyes as the woman, who was apparently called Sam, ran her fingers on Tay's arms.
Tay laughed nervously and moved away from her but being the bitch that this woman named Sam was, she moved closer to him, even pressing her body against Tay's.
"Oh come on. Don't you miss me? I mean we used to spend late nights in your condo, doing...some late night action," she added in a slutty manner, her boobs slightly brushing Tay's arm.
He heaved a deep sigh to control his temper when the woman leaned closer and bit her lips in front of Tay.
As much as possible, he didn't wanna create a scene that would ruin Apple's party but his patience was slowly coming to an end.
"I, uhh. Sam, to be honest, I'm alrea-."
"Shhhhhh. Why don't we get out of here and...have some late night fun?" she then leaned closer and licked Tay's ear.
Tay then moved away from her, but she kept advancing forward to stick her body close to him.
"I'm sorry Sam but-"
"Sshhhhhh," she then placed a finger on his lips.
Okay, that was it. It was the final straw, the one that snapped his patience. He didn't even give a fuck if he was gonna ruin Apple's party. He just wanna claw the woman right on the face until she bled to death.
He then grabbed the glass of whiskey the bartender was about to serve to a guy nearby.
"Hey that's mine!" the guy shouted but he didn't really give a damn.
He then approached the two and "accidentally spilled" the whiskey on the woman's "the dressmaker ran out of cloth so just wear this cloth-deprived" dress.
"OH MY GOOOOD! WHAT THE FUCCCK??! BITCH?!"
Sam whined and glared at him as she tried to wipe off the whiskey from her dress.
"This is a fucking limited edition Coco Chanel! You won't even be able to pay for it you lowly creature!"
"Hey, Sam, that's -," Tay interrupted but Sam just pushed him back.
"No Tay. He has to learn his lesson!"
He then grabbed the nearby rag that the bartender used to wipe the counter.
"I'm so sorry ma'am. I didn't mean to," he "apologized" as he started wiping her dress.
"New," Tay held his arm but he just whisked his hand away.
"Oh come on! Get that filthy thing away from me!" she whined but he continued wiping her dress.
"Oh fuck! Get your filthy hands off me!!" she squealed and pushed his hands away.
With all the pent-up anger he had, he harshly threw the rag on her face, completely throwing his rational thinking out of the window.
"THEN YOU ALSO GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY HUSBAND, YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
"What?! What the hell are you talking about? Husband??"
"Sam, actually, New's my-" Tay butted in but was cut off even before he could finish his statement.
"You mean??" her eyes widened as she looked alternately at him and Tay.
She then laughed manically, clutching her stomach as she covered her mouth with her other hand.
They were starting to get attention from the crowd and some were already huddling in their direction.
"Oh, come ooonn! Will you quit being delusional?? I know every inch of Tay's body and I can tell that he'd rather fuck a cow than be with you, you ugly bitch!"
"Oh really??" he taunted, giving her the same intense stare.
"Then come here you bitch!" he exclaimed as he advanced forward and grabbed her hoop earrings.
"Ouch! Shit! That fucking hurts bitch!" she yelped and tried removing his hands but he just gripped her earrings tighter. He felt someone grabbing him by the waist but he was so furious that he couldn't think straight anymore.
"Hin. Babe. Come on, let her go! You're gonna tear her ears off!" Tay exclaimed as he held him by the waist.
"Oh shit! Let go of my earrings! It fucking hurts!"
He listened to the woman's plea and grabbed her hair instead, tugging it so forcibly that she was starting to cry.
"Oh fuck! Somebody help meeee!!" she cried for help but nobody dared. She tried removing his hands from her hair but failed.
"Hiin, just let go okay? Please you're about to rip her scalp!"
"Oh my gosh! What's happening here?!! Oh my god! Sam are you okay??? New what's wrong???" Apple shouted as she saw the commotion, her hands over his mouth as she looked at them, Sam being almost on the floor.
He tugged her hair for the last time before letting go, making her scream and cry in pain.
"That's for flirting with my husband, you slut!" He spat out and removed Tay's grip on his waist before trudging towards the exit.
_____
"Hey babe. Talk to me. Shout at me. Do whatever you want. Just talk to me, pleassse. You're starting to scare me with your silence."
He glared at Tay before swinging the door open. During the entire ride home, no one talked. Not even Tay. It was as if he was testing the waters. He would try to open up a conversation but would eventually stop every time he gave him a dangerous glare.
"Baaaabe. She's just a friend, okay?"
"Friend? Oh, then what are those late night actions that friends do? Do you play cards or board games? Or do you do prayer meetings to somehow lessen your sins and gain another shot at going to heaven?? Ohhh, you had another heaven to go to with your late night activities!"
"Come on baaaabe. It was a long time ago. It's been years. And besides she was the one who approached me. I didn't do anything."
"Exactly! You didn't do anything! You didn't do anything when she latched on you like some vampire hungry for blood or when she uttered those sexual innuendos as if she's not a woman for Pete's sake! She could have just went there naked given the piece of cloth she had earlier! And such a scene stealer. She even wore red at someone else's birthday party. Gosh. I just hate her!"
"I'm sorry babee. I just didn't wanna offend her so I was trying to be as subtle as possible. She's a woman after all."
"Oh, so it's okay to offend me because I'm a man?" he grabbed the nearby pillow and threw it at Tay who just dodged it effortlessly.
"Baaabe. It's not what I mean, okay?"
"And what were you even doing there, huh?? I only left for a few minutes and that girl already had her fucking hands all over you!"
"We ran out of beers, babe so I went to the bar counter to ask for more."
"You drunkard! I told you not to drink so much! And why do girls flock around you every single time? Urrgghh! You and your fucking sex appeal!"
"I'm sorry babe. I swear she's just no one."
"How long?"
"Huh?"
"How long were you together?"
"S-six."
"Weeks?"
"M-months."
"Urrgh! There you said it! What friends? What friends are you talking huh."
He grabbed another throw pillow and used it to hit Tay.
"You liaarr! Friends huh? Friends? Friends with benefits you fucking moron!" he ranted as he hit him over and over again.
"Babe! Stop it! I'm sorry, okay? I mean we used to date but I no longer have communication with her," Tay exclaimed as he used his arms to fend off his attacks.
"Six months! Six fucking months! You said your longest relationship was 2 months. And then she made it to the sixth one. Urrgghhh. I'm gonna fucking kill you Taaay!" he raged, still hitting Tay with the pillow.
"Babe! Wait! Can we talk without the violence??"
"Don't fucking babe meeee. You son of a bitch!"
He hit Tay for the last time and eventually stopped as his arms were starting to ache.
He sat on the floor and breathed heavily.
Tay crouched in front of him, an apologizing look on his face.
"You're sleeping on the sofa," he muttered and went straight to the bedroom, slamming the door behind him.
_____
He curled up in a ball as he tried to get back to sleep but failed.
He sighed as he lied down on his back and stared at the ceiling, thinking about what happened last night.
He felt somewhat guilty for lashing out on Tay when it was Sam's fault in the first place.
He was about to try to get some sleep again when he smelled something burning, and then somebody screaming.
He immediately went off the bed to check on Tay and just as he had in mind, he was right.
There standing in front of the stove was Tay who was trying to flip a badly shaped egg which was starting to look like the bottom of the pan, all burnt and inedible.
"Are you trying to burn the house down?" he exclaimed and turned off the stove.
"I-I just wanna prepare breakfast for you."
Tay looked like a total kid as he stood there in front of New, fiddling his fingers and biting his lower lip.
"You expect me to eat that?" he pointed at the burnt egg and crossed his arms.
"I'm sorry..." Tay whispered, his head down.
"What? I couldn't hear you."
"I-I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For burning the egg."
"Is that all?"
"An-and for last night."
"What about last night?"
"For not telling you about Sam."
New smirked as he looked at Tay. He wasn't angry at him anymore, well, just a tiny bit. He was still not over the fact that he just let her hold him last night but he realized that Tay wasn't the only one at fault. It was that bitch who couldn't keep her hands to herself.
"Go away," he muttered and pushed Tay.
"A-are you telling me to leave the house?"
"Oh come ooon. I mean go away from the stove. I'll cook for us. I don't wanna move houses just because you set ours on fire."
Tay then beamed at him as he removed the burnt egg from the pan.
"You're already not mad at me, aren't you?? Baabbbee. Come on. I am forgiven, right? Right?" Tay clung to his arm and shook it continuously.
He suppressed a smile and glared at him instead.
"You will be if you don't disturb me so let me cook in peace. I'm hungry for Pete's sake."
Tay showed his gummy smile at him and saluted.
"Sir, yes, sir!"
He chuckled as Tay marched away and sat on one of the chairs.
_____
New placed two cups of coffee on the table.
Tay had already taken his seat and was ogling at him the entire time he was preparing their food.
"What?!" he raised his eyebrows at him.
Tay then grabbed his arm and made him sit on his lap sideways.
"What are you trying to do?" he tried to sound uninteresting but failed.
"I'm sorrrryy na jaaaa," Tay hugged his waist and shook him lightly.
"Tsss. You better not let me see you meeting any of your exes Tawan or I swear, you'll be walking on the streets in all fours ."
Tay laughed nervously while looking at him.
"Y-yes jaaa."
"Urgh. Like seriously? How many exes do you have?"
"Y-you want the official or including the f-flings jaaaa?"
He narrowed his eyes into a squint and looked at Tay with such dangerous eyes.
He felt Tay's grasp on his waist loosening and Tay swallowed multiple times as he leaned in closer to him.
He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the sound of Tay's phone which was on the dining table.
Sam calling...
"I-I don't know why she's calling me. Or why she still has my number. I-I haven't changed it for years so, so maybe that's w-why," Tay defended himself immediately, his hands waving furiously in front of him.
He grabbed the phone and swiped to answer.
"Uhm. Hi Tay. Can you come with me today? I badly need someone right now."
New scowled upon hearing Sam's flirty voice on the other line.
"Oh! I'm sorry but Tawan can't come to the phone right now because he's giving me a mind-blowing sex as of the moment. Urgh! I don't even know how to make him stop. He's so wild I can't -"
He smirked when she dropped the call without even letting him finish.
"Why does she sound like a cow in labor whenever she talks to you?! Is something stuck in her throat or what? Uhmmm, Tay there's something on my dress can you like get it for me?"
Tay laughed as he imitated Sam's way of speaking.
"Tssss. I so hate that girl. Don't you ever let me see you again with her Tay or I swear you'd be picking her hair from the floor," he rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes baaabyyy."
"Babyy??"
"Why? Can't I call you baby?"
"My goodness Tay. Don't change our endearment or I'd seriously think you're referring to another one."
Tay just laughed and hugged him tightly.
"Babe, yes, babe!"
"Tssss."
"So I guess, what you said earlier is an invitation," Tay said and starting moving his hands up and down on his waist.
"What invitation?" he asked in confusion.
"You know, the Tawan can't come to the phone right now because he's giving me a mind-blowing sex," Tay whispered into his ear and he felt his face heating up.
"A-are you crazy?! I just said that to shut her up!"
He then tried to get away from Tay but the latter just tightened his grip on his waist, making it difficult to stand up.
"T-tay. The food is waiting. Let's eat."
"But I wanna eat something else though."
"Tay Tawan! W-we're out of lubricant," he bit his lips out of embarrassment of what he just said.
"Don't worry I bought yesterday, soooo," Tay murmured and started nuzzling his neck.
He muttered a curse when he felt Tay's growing manhood beneath him.
Tay then kissed him fully on the lips, nibbling his lower one while his hands were starting to get their way inside his shirt and he couldn't help but let out a long heavy moan.
He let out a deep sigh when Tay's hands found his nipples and started rolling his thumbs over them.
"Why did you stop?!" he whined when Tay suddenly broke the kiss.
Tay just laughed at him and carried him in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.
Soon, their house was filled with moans and groans and New's occasional curses.
Their breakfast remained untouched, the coffee now cold on the table.
