"Help me, Tae!!!!"

"Sungie, you'll wear rags and he'll still be whipped for you."

"It's my first date with him, Sia!! You guys are seriously of no help."

"Sung, relax!! He would love you, no matter what you wear."

"I know but I wanna look good for him. This is my first date!!!"

Han was panicking for the first date Minho asked him out for. He went for several outings with the elder but this made him anxious like no other. He wasn't even sure where they were going.

"Wear anything comfortable. It's just going to be us ." Han's phone flashed with this message bringing a gentle smile on his lips.

"Guys, he asked me to wear comfortable clothes."

"Is he taking you on a drive?"

"Or maybe for some sightseeing." The friends were equally if not more excited about Han's date.

"Ok. Bye then. He'll be coming soon." Han waved his hands in front of the screen and disconnected the video call.

Han took out his favourite light grey hoodie to wear.

"God!!! Where is my blue jeans?" He wished to wear his baggy blue jeans to go with the hoodie. While searching for it, he found another hoodie, Minho's hoodie to be specific. Han still remembered the fragrance when the elder wore it last time while hugging him. Half an hour later, there was Han wearing the same hoodie waiting for its original owner.

Minho's heart may or may not have skipped a beat seeing the younger in his hoodie. Crimson tinted his ears looking at the love of his life walking towards the car awkwardly for their first ever date. It was finally happening.

"Hi"

Han was yet to make an eye contact with the elder. Honestly, he dared not to. He felt like he would melt away if he looked at the elder in his eyes.

"Hi"

Minho rubbed his nape embarassed. He had hundred ways planned to greet the younger but he couldn't remember a single one at the moment. God, all of his practice in front of the mirror went down the drain.

"Uh- I- I got you flowers." Minho opened the car's door to get the flowers but hit his head in the process.

'What a great way to start the date.' Minho thought.

Nonetheless, he took out the daisies he brought for the younger remembering how he once mentioned about liking them.

"Thanks"

With no other words exchanged, both the boys sat in the car to go to their destination which was unknown to Han in this case.

"Where are we?" Han finally questioned when Minho parked his car into the parking lot.

"At our destination. Let's go." Han didn't understand but still got off the car following the elder.

"Wait, is this-"

"My apartment. I got it renovated." Minho said while inserting the key.

A warm smell entered their nostrils the minute they entered in the apartment and it looked nothing like what Han remember.

The apartment had an overall theme of white and brown now. It had a small brown sofa and table in front of the television. A white and brown striped matress was spread beneath the table.

The previously dark grey walls were coloured white now with brown curtains adorning them. There was a small rack next to the window filled with small plants and a few pictures decorated neatly on them.

Han got carried away in observing the details. His focus shifted to the kitchen only when the microwave made the 'ting' sound.

"Ahh, give me a minute. I'll be back." Minho rushed to the kitchen and took out the cupcakes from the oven he probably made just before picking up Han.

"Hyung, why did you cook so much. You'd be so exhausted. We could have-"

"I wanted to do this, okay? And it was not exhausting at all. Dont underestimate the power of a man in love."

The evening went by with wide smiles plastered over their faces. It was just them being together watching things together, talking sometimes, eating other times.

"Hahahaha, hyung!! That would look so weird."

"What do you mean? You are here.... I am here.... Music is there. What else do you need?"

"That is so random, y'know?" Han chuckled.

"Not at all. My husband loves dancing."

"Hawwww!! You meanie, you promised we'll not talk about it."

"How can I not? You looked so adorable that day dancing and singing at the top of your lungs all by yourself while cleaning our place."

"I- you were not supposed to return so early. You said that it was a two days trip." Han was pouting now.

"Well, I didn't want to spend two days straight without cuddling my man."

"You should think before speaking sometimes, you know?" Minho never failed to make the younger blush.

"Love, if I wasn't already doing that and was telling you about all the lines that I wanna cross with you, trust me, you'll get really flushed."

"Ahem- anywaysssss! So, I was telling you about Tae. He really -"

Han didn't know a better way to respond so he decided to change the topic.

"I'll let you change the topic but not about that dude. I'm not a big fan of him."

"Huh? Why??"

"Don't know and by the way, we were talking about dancing." Saying this, Minho played the very song he "caught" Han dancing on- Love Shot by Exo.

Han soon got comfortable as no matter how big of an introvert he was, dance always brought the best out of him. The dance which felt weird to Han, eventually, grew on him and a few minutes later, both of them went crazy on the dancing.

Minho had never seen Han this energetic and happy. He discovered something new today. Han Jisung shines brightest when he dances.

Soon, the mood changed probably because of the sequence of playlist Minho had set. The songs smoothly transitioned to romantic songs. This was the cue for Minho to pull Han in the balcony for dancing "with" him.

Han didn't realise when he went in Minho's arms or when the elder put his hands on his waist or even he himself threw his arms around the elder's neck.

Can I have the day with you?

Nothing more that I would choose

Nothing more that I could use

Than a little afternoon

Sittin' with you

Younger's eyes were twinkling. Minho wanted to engrave this image of the younger's eye-smile in his memories forever.

Can I see the moon with you?

Nothing more that I would choose

Nothing more that I could use

Than a twilight and a twinkle of you

Their bodies were moving slowly along with the rhythm of the song. Both feeling blessed for getting to experience such moment.

Can I sing a song with you?

Ivory and orange hues

You and I can sing in tune

We will sing away the blues

Can we write a novel too?

Something beautiful and new

Tales of glory and of truth

A grander story of me and of you

Minho twirled Han and brought him into a backhug. He put his chin on the younger's shoulder and sang the last part of the song in a whispery-husky voice.

Can I spend my life with you?

Nothin' more that I would choose

Nothin' more that I could use

Than forever and a day, with you

"Happy anniversary, love!"

Thoughts?
