(A/N: This fic is because of my too much ChanBaek feels now in Call Me Baby Era. HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY EXO! #3YearsWithEXO. Enjoy reading!)

Baekhyun is not the PDA-ish type, not the cheesy-lovey-dovey-fluffy-romantic type, not the kissy-huggy-snugglish type, no, not at all. He hates romantic stuffs that he thinks he's going to puke.

Baekhyun is just the type of boyfriend who prefers punching Chanyeol's shoulder in the early morning as a good morning kiss. He enjoys joking around while teasing the members with Chanyeol as their couple bonding time. He likes slinging his arm over Chanyeol's shoulder rather than backhugging him around the dorm. He likes yelling and shouting at Chanyeol to gain his attention rather than whispering soft nothings into his ears. He prefers sleeping beside Chanyeol while his feet are on Chanyeol's face rather than his arms on Chanyeol's waist. He enjoys showering with Chanyeol while he splashes Chanyeol's eyes with shampoo until they sting. He wants to do kissing and hugging only when they're alone, and that time only happens once in a blue moon. How can they be alone together in a dorm with a bunch of eight other noisy males whose hobbies are to meddle in everbody's businesses and stuffs?

Not that Baekhyun minds it, though. He likes loud and energy and happiness. And he's sure that that's okay with Chanyeol, too.

Baekhyun is listening to one of his recordings that he'll perform on Inkigayo with Kyungsoo when he abruptly remembers he still has that yogurt he and Sehun were fighting for last night. Baekhyun stands up and walks towards the door heading to the kitchen when Chanyeol appears, cornering him in their shared room after he has gone to the bathroom.

"What?" Baekhyun asks noncholantly, thinking of the strawberry yogurt he hid in the freezer away from Sehun's suspicous eyes.

"Baekhyun, I want to tell you something," Chanyeol says in a serious tone, his eyes are twinkling but Baekhyun pays no attention to them because he's busy thinking with his stomach.

"What is it?"

"I love you."

Baekhyun just stares. Chanyeol bites his lower lip.

"Seriously, Chanyeol? What the heck are you saying right now?" Baekhyun irritatedly asks. He has his hand over his hip.

"Aren't you going to say it back?" Chanyeol asks expectantly and Baekhyun glares at him.

"You knew that already, right?" Baekhyun says dismissively. "So if you may excuse me, I have a yogurt to attend."

With that, Baekhyun slips past Chanyeol with an all-too-friendly tap on the shoulder.

They are watching an english film with Korean subtitles at the dorm, since it's a day off from Call Me Baby promotions, and Baekhyun is half-asleep half-awake blinking in front of the large TV screen while munching his cheese flavored popcorn in his mouth.

There's this scene in the movie, where the leading man proposed to his girlfriend in front of a crowd while kneeling, and the girl, using the bouquet the guy gave her, used it to hit and slap her boyfriend's face hard until the petals fell off from the pitiful bundle of flowers.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Baekhyun laughs out loud while pointing at the TV screen as if it's the funniest thing he has ever seen. "That hurt! Look at his face!"

Kyungsoo turns to Baekhyun with his usual wide-eyed poker face as Baekhyun continues his loud laughter. Sehun shakes his head while whispering something to Jongin and Jongin nods, looking back at Baekhyun.

Junmyeon sadly gives Chanyeol a worried look, and the latter seems to have this kicked-puppy pitiful face as he bites his lower lip. He ducks his head down, focusing on his crossed-legs instead.

"Oh that was great, that was great," Baekhyun mutters while chuckling, still eating his popcorn while the credits roll by. He looks around at his members, who are just staring at him oddly, except Chanyeol.

"What?" Baekhyun asks, an eyebrow quirked.

"Nothing is funny Baekhyun," Kyungsoo says in a low tone.

Everybody disperses out of the living room, leaving Baekhyun and Chanyeol alone. Baekhyun watches as the other members close their door with a loud thud that made Baekhyun blink for a second.

"What's wrong with them?" Baekhyun asks Chanyeol who's just looking at him Baekhyun can't figure out what does that look mean.

"Hey, don't tell me you, too? What, are you teaming up against me? Is this a kind of prank?"

Shaking his head, Chanyeol sighs and picks up a handful of tissues on the table. He sits beside Baekhyun and carefully dabs the tissue onto Baekhyun's orange mouth, wiping the cheese residues off his lower lip. Baekhyun oddly looks at Chanyeol as the latter works on Baekhyun's other side of mouth with the tissues, and he can't help but feel something warm welling up inside his gut as Chanyeol's fingertips slightly brush against his lips.

He pushes Chanyeol away.

"I can do it, you know? I'm not a baby," Baekhyun says, grabbing the tissues to wipe his mouth by himself.

"I just wanted to help you."

"Okay, thanks. Whatever," Baekhyun says with a roll of eyes, standing up and heading to his and Chanyeol's shared room.

Chanyeol follows after awhile, closing the door silently when he notices Baekhyun is already sleeping soundly. He watches Baekhyun's face closely, how his nose is scrunching in his sleep and his lips are pouting and moving slightly like he's doing aegyo in front of fans. Chanyeol smiles sweetly before kissing his boyfriend's forehead goodnight and heading to his own bed to sleep.

Baekhyun hates cocumbers, especially their smell and taste. But the members love cocumbers though, that's why this morning, he's throwing a tantrum as to why his bowl of fried rice has cocumbers in it. He's sure he told Kyungsoo about not putting cocumbers in his food, but Kyungsoo forgot it, making Baekhyun to snort down at his breakfast at the moment.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Junmyeon asks as he digs in to his own food. Baekhyun shakes his head before pushing his bowl away with grimace.

Baekhyun watches from his seat as Sehun and Jongin happily eats their meals like ten-year olds while Kyungsoo on their side is graciously picking his beans with his chopsticks, putting it inside his mouth with a satisfied moan. Baekhyun's stomach grumbles.

Frowning, Baekhyun hesitantly dips his spoon with rice slowly, but someone quickly stops him and holds his hand.

Wordlessly, Chanyeol exchanges their bowls of fried rice. Baekhyun looks down at his new bowl, which is now cocumber-free. Baekhyun just stares how Chanyeol picks the meat and little eggs from his bowl and puts them into Baekhyun's bowl.

"Here," Chanyeol says after thrusting the chopsticks to Baekhyun's fingers. "You should eat a lot."

Baekhyun nods and smiles, feeling a little blush creeping into his cheeks. "Th-thanks."

"No problem," Chanyeol answers with a wink.

As Baekhyun eats, he gives Chanyeol a side glance, looking at his boyfriend and realizing just now that Chanyeol looks good in his new purplish-silver hair.

"Hey Baekhyun!" Chanyeol calls from the bathroom while he prepares the bathtub. He can hear Baekhyun's what is it you dumbass from their shared room. He smiles.

"Let's take a bath together," Chanyeol says. "I prepared the water!"

"Okay, wait a second," Baekhyun says, peeking on the bathroom door. He sees Chanyeol, already standing under the shower spray all in his naked glory. Baekhyun gulps.

Not that it's the first time he sees it anyway, so he shreds his own clothes before putting it all inside the basket. He walks towards Chanyeol and smiles, letting his body share the water under the shower with Chanyeol.

"Hey," Chanyeol says and Baekhyun looks up to Chanyeol whose hair is now wet and sticking to his forehead.

"What?" Baekhyun asks as he follows the droplets of liquid streaming down onto Chanyeol's cheeks.

"Close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

Baekhyun rolls his eyes before obediently closing his eyelids. He can hear the shower in the bathroom as a background together with the squeezing of some liquid which smells like vanilla.

"This might sting, so don't open your eyes until I say so."

Baekhyun nods as Chanyeol gently carresses Baekhyun's wet hair with his hands. Chanyeol lathers the shampoo on top of Baekhyun's head, creating a white foam with bubbles. He smooths it through Baekhyun's fringe, running his fingers onto Baekhyun's scalp gingerly. Baekhyun hums when his hair is completely covered with shampoo.

"Does it feel good?"

"Yeah," Baekhyun answers while biting his lowerlip, still closed eyes. "Hey, I want to see you. Can I open my eyes now?"

Chanyeol chuckles. "Okay."

Baekhyun pries his eyes open and sees Chanyeol in front of him in his foamed hair as well. He reaches for Chanyeol's hair before tugging it with his fist suddenly.

"Ouch!" Chanyeols cries. "What was that for?"

"For shampooing my hair."

"You're really rude Baekhyun," Chanyeol says but there's no heat in his words.

After they rinse their hairs, Chanyeol gets in the bathtub and lies down until the water reaches his chin. Baekhyun just watches on the side, stark naked standing in front of Chanyeol.

"Come here," Chanyeol says, motioning for Baekhyun to join him in the tub.

"Are you serious?" Baekhyun says with an arched eyebrow, a hand on his bare hips. "How can we fit together in there?"

"You can lie on top of me."

"What?!" Baekhyun says in shock, his face red. "There's no way I'm going in there. I don't want to."

"Why? It's nice here. The water's warm."

"I still don't want to," Baekhyun answers, crossing his arms over his bare chest.

Chanyeol then gets up from the tub, flows of water splash and flush down the floor. He hugs Baekhyun by the waist and carries him so that he's settled between his legs as they sit down. Baekhyun squirms within Chanyeol's hold but stops when he feels the warm water wets around his skin.

Chanyeol leans on the tub and adjusts himself, moving his back comfortably so that Baekhyun can lean his back on top of  Chanyeol's body.

"Oh god," Baekhyun mumbles under his breath as he scoops some water to wet his arms, feeling the water relaxes his stressed muscles. "This feels so good."

"Told you so," Chanyeol says with a quiet chuckle as he closes his eyes.

Chanyeol rests his head on the side of the tub while Baekhyun leans his head on top of Chanyeol's chest, both of them soaked in the warm bath, body flushed snugly with each other.

Baekhyun turns his head and looks up to his boyfriend. Chanyeol smiles down at him.

"W-why are we doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"I'm not used to this," Baekhyun says. "It's kinda weird."

"Am I making you uncomfortable?"

Baekhyun pouts. "N-no, but..."

"But?" Chanyeol asks curiously.

"Nevermind," Baekhyun answers while shaking his head and focusing on the floating rubber duckie instead. He grabs it happily, squeezing it with his hand.

"Let's... do this again next time?" Chanyeol asks after a brief moment as he scoops some water to pour it on top of Baekhyun's head.

Baekhyun nods. "Okay."

"Baekhyun?"

"Hmm?"

Chanyeol laughs. "I love you."

Baekhyun elbows Chanyeol's ribs and the splashing of water can be heard throughout the bathroom.

"Stop it, you little piece of shit."

*

Baekhyun doesn't expect waking up beside Chanyeol, especially if Chanyeol's arm is wounded around his waist and Chanyeol's face is against his neck.

He gets up on record time, shoving Chanyeol's arm away from his body, but Chanyeol's arm won't budge as if it's glued permanently on his waist. Baekhyun sighs, calming down his heart for a while. Once composed, he nudges Chanyeol's shoulder, waking him up.

"Chanyeol," Baekhyun whispers. "Hey idiot, wake up."

Chanyeol grunts as he cracks his eyes open, arm still wrapped on Baekhyun's waist. He then beams when he sees his boyfriend's morning face.

"Good morning," Chanyeol mutters in a husky voice and Baekhyun has to clear his thoat because of that.

Chanyeol gets up slightly and gently pushes Baekhyun on the bed so that he's on his back. Baekhyun's eyes widen in shock as Chanyeol kisses his cheek abruptly without any warning nor permission. Chanyeol looms over Baekhyun, adjusting himself on top of him as he pecks Baekhyun on the lips, kissing his upper lip softly. Baekhyun, no matter how he hates this kind of things, kisses back his boyfriend's lips just because he thinks that he has no choice but to do that.

Junmyeon, Kyungsoo together with Jongin and Sehun choose this time to swing the door open of the couple's shared room.

Junmyeon's hand falls off the doorknob, Kyungsoo's eyes enlarge as twice, while Sehun and Jongin clamp their open mouths as they witness Chanyeol and Baekhyun on the bed while kissing.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Oh god! We-- we didn't mean to interrupt you guys!" Junmyeon shouts, startling Baekhyun, thus pushing Chanyeol off of him. Chanyeol rolls down the bed, hitting his back forcefully against the floor.

"S-so uhm, s-sorry bye okay uhm see you later okay enjoy!" Junmyeon rambles before closing the door, surprise etched on his and the other members' faces.

"What the fuck have you done!? Ugh, it's so fucking embarrassing!" Baekhyun shouts while pulling his own hair and kicking his feet. Chanyeol gets up and lies on the bed again.

"Why are you blaming me? You also kissed me back! Ugh, ouch," Chanyeol says while holding his back on the part where it bumped somewhere on the floor.

"That hurt, Baek. You didn't have to push me that hard."

"Well, it's your fault! If you didn't do that-- that, that kind of stuff! They wouldn't see us, like uhm, being like that!" Baekhyun fumes, his whole face blushing.

"Fine! I'm sorry, okay?"

"Ugh, you know what, Chanyeol? I'm done. We're done," Baekhyun says, slipping off from his blanket and standing up.

"What? What done? Where are you going!?" Chanyeol says, his face contorting as he winces in pain. Baekhyun quickly wears his slippers while Chanyeol worriedly follows him with his eyes.

"Are you leaving me? Are you breaking up with me!?"

Baekhyun sighs, slapping his forehead as he rolls his eyes. "No. I'm not. I'm getting the first aid kit, dumbass. Stay there."

Baekhyun leaves, heading to the bathroom. Chanyeol squeals, a little unmanly for his height while a wide smile is plastered across his face.

Baekhyun closes his eyes as one of the make up artists puts his eyeliner on top of his eyelids. He cracks his one eye open, seeing Chanyeol on the side playing with Kyungsoo. Baekhyun can see from his seat how Chanyeol slings his arm around Kyungsoo's shoulders, then Kyungsoo pushes him away. Baekhyun eyes Chanyeol as the taller approaches Junmyeon and whispers something to him. Junnyeon nods, calling Sehun and Jongin. Kyungsoo joins the three of them and they laugh and talk about something Baekhyun couldn't understand.

Irritated, Baekhyun rolls his eyes and walks out of the dressing room.

He's annoyed, because really, Chanyeol never talked to him nor approached him eversince this morning and it pisses Baekhyun off, thinking what the hell is the problem why Chanyeol suddenly acts this cold to him. Chanyeol never acts cold to him ever before.

Baekhyun hears the cue 'five minutes' so he and the other members huddle together, forming a mini circle.

"EXO Saranghaja!" they shout altogether on top of ther lungs, feeling the adrenaline increases in their bodies as they hear the loud screaming of fans for their EXO'lution concert tonight.

Baekhyun spares Chanyeol a glance, but Chanyeol never looks at him. He never tells him 'fighting' and Baekhyun thinks that this is so weird, and also hurting. He misses Chanyeol, no matter how he hates to admit it.

As they climb up onstage, Baekhyun sighs and wills away the little uneasiness in his heart, ears waiting for Exodus, the song they'll perform tonight. The different lights flash upward while the fogs ascend around the stage

EXO-L's scream, raising their banners up and Baekhyun can feel his heartbeat ringing in his ears.

But Exodus doesn't play. The music doesn't play.

Instead, My Answer plays.

The fans' screams gets louder and wilder when the lights turns blue and warm all over the stage. Baekhyun looks around and notices that he's now the only one standing at the center.

"Oh my god," Baekhyun says as he looks at Chanyeol, who's now walking towards him, smiling and his eyes twinking, and Baekhyun really pays attention to the beauty of his boyfriend's eyes. He gulps, feeling the nervousness shakes his knees like jelly.

"What the heck is happening!?" Baekhyun asks the members who  are seated beside the stage, beaming, as the music, My Answer plays as the background.

"Oh god, no, no, no," Baekhyun mutters while shaking his head when he sees a staff handing Chanyeol a bouquet of flowers. Chanyeol accepts the flowers with his arms, while the fans are in chaos right now, screaming and shouting like crazy while holding their lightsticks and cameras.

"What the fuck," Baekhyun says when Chanyeol reaches him, kneeling in front of him while holding his hand together with the first line in chorus 'My Answer is you' sung by Baekhyun himself.

"Baekhyun," Chanyeol says into the microphone adjacent his mouth as he looks up to his boyfriend.

"What!?" Baekhyun asks annoyingly, but really, he's drowning with feels right now.

"Please, don't throw this bouquet on my face, okay?" Chanyeol says pleadingly. "I just want to ask you a question."

"Oh my god, Chanyeol. This is so embarrassing!" Baekhyun says, his hand on his hips. "EXO-L's are watching!"

"I don't care," Chanyeol says firmly. "Let them know how much I love you!"

The crowd cheers loudly, chanting ChanBaek! ChanBaek! while the members are laughing at them teasingly and clapping their hands. Baekhyun bites his lower lip, restraining himself to smile.

"Do you love me?" Chanyeol asks expectantly, still kneeling in front of Baekhyun.

"Yes! I love you so much! Oh god, what the hell is this!" Baekhyun says, covering his face with his one hand.

"If you love me, then marry me."

"W-wait. What!!!?"

"I said marry me! Will you marry me?"

Okay, if the crowd was in chaos earlier, now the fans just died because of overflowing feels right now. Baekhyun's heart just exploded right now. He looks down at Chanyeol and smiles, tears flowing down onto his cheeks because of happiness, shock and embarassment mixed altogether.

"For all those three years I put up with you Baekhyun, since pre-debut and since we debuted until now, I realized that I love you so much and I want to be with you as long as I'm in EXO and for the rest of my life. Will you say yes?"

Baekhyun quickly nods, grabbing the bouquet of flowers from Chanyeol's hands while he slams it to Chanyeol's face. Hard.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Baekhyun answers while hitting Chanyeol's head with the flowers. "Yes, Chanyeol, oh my god!"

Chanyeol scoops Baekhyun in his arms and kisses him on the lips, and Baekhyun wraps his arm around Chanyeol's neck as he brings the kiss deeper.

The rest of EXO members hastily show up on stage, blocking the couple who's now making out behind them. There's a loud awww from the fans, disappointed because they couldn't see Chanyeol and Baekhyun sucking faces, but still very happy at the same time.

"Everyone, our dearest EXO-L's! Pease anticipate the wedding next year. Thank you," Junmyeon announces.
