Lion POV
During those 3 years, my parents gave me a lot of support. They are the only person other than my best friend that believe me, that I will never cheat on Warm. My parents have known about my sexuality since my high school years and they love Warm, just like their own child.
After eating lunch with my parents, I rushed back to the company and spotted Warm not on his room.
“Sara, where is Warm?”
“He went out with his mom. He told me to told you that it is an emergency and his mum requested him to be home”.
I thanked Sara and went back to my room.
“Nukh. Can you help me prepare something?”
“What is it, Lion?”
Warm POV
After hanging out with my mum for the whole day, I returned home feeling tired but happy. My mum has never invited me out anymore after I confess my sexuality to her 6 years ago, so when she calls me this evening, my heart is full of excitement.
“Lion, are you home?”
“Warm, is it you?”
Lion went out from the kitchen, wearing an apron and holding spatula on his hand.
“Are you cooking? It's okay, I'll do it. You must be hungry”.
Lion is a perfect man. But he can't cook. Even frying an egg is like a war to him, so I have never allowed him to cook whenever I'm with him.
“No! Today, you'll sit and I cook. It will be done in a few minutes”.
“Lion, don't waste the ingredients!”
He pushes my shoulder to the stool in front of the counter and let me watch his sloppy knife skill. Looking at the ingredients he prepared, he must be preparing to cook some of the Basil fried rice.
“I remember you used to like this so much. Do you remember what date is today?”
“Monday”.
Lion stops chopping the onion and looks at me attentively. I may be always joking but this time I really do not remember the date he is forcing me to remember.
“I really don't remember it, Lion”.
“It's okay. I can always be your calendar in this life. How are your girls day with your mum?”
“Why the heck it is a girls day!”
He laughed and pinched my cheek softly. I told him how happy the day goes by and not long after, his food also done. Surprisingly, his food is edible today and it does taste okay.
“Is it good?”
“It's okay. Not as bad as always”.
He grinned like a fool and start to eat his own product. When we're both done eating, we decided to watch television.
“Warm”.
Lion gets into his comfortable position by hugging me and putting me into his chest.
“Mmm”.
“Do you love me?”
“No. I hate you”.
He poked my waist and asked me again.
“Of course I do Lion. If not, I won't be here, letting you hug me”.
He takes a deep breath and suddenly turns off the television, making me turn around to him. He held both of my hand and kiss it slowly.
“Warm, let's get married”.
“What?”
“I say, let's get married. I already ask our mum, and she said she will agree with whatever answer you give me. My parents too. So, Warm, do you want to be my spouse?”
I look around the house and look back at him again.
“Are you really proposing to me, without anything. Just with an oral speech”.
“We're guys. What do you need? Flowers and snow?”
I laugh a bit when he said that and slowly pull his apron closer to me. I kiss his lips and nimble with it, gaining his attention fully only for me.
“Yes, I do need flowers and snow. But I will count that Basil fried rice as the replacement. Therefore, let's get married, Lion”.
He laughs and pulls my head closer to him, kissing my lips full of love and tender. His tongue comes in and fights for domination with me. He only let me go when we're both out of breathing.
“I love you baby boo”.
"Anyway, what day is it today, Lion?"
"The day that I first saw you in college, the day that I propose to you for the first time, the day you caught me with others and the day I propose you to get married to me".
“That all happened on the same day?”
He laughed.
“Although it's a bit weird, yes, all of that happened on the same day. Warm, I can't give you every happiness you deserve in this world because you need much more but I'll give you as much as I can. I promise”.
I take his hand and kiss it to calm his nerve.
“I know”.
