Okay, so this is like the bloopers section of a video... sorta... not really... so much for an attention grabbing intro... welp

Anyhoo, it's a compilation of all of the ideas for this book that actually never made it into the storyline...

Without further ado, let's begin!

- § -

Baekhyun stood outside of the gym, pacing back and forth. He was waiting for his boyfriend to finish basketball practice. The brunet shakes his head, glimpsing at his watch. Where is he?

He turns around, back to the gym doors as he surveys the surrounding area. Eh. The school looks as bland as ever.

Suddenly, his vision goes dark, and a pair of lips land near his ear. A wonderful scent wafts by, accompanied by a deep but soothing voice. "Guess who?"

Baekhyun leans against the well-sculpted chest of his boyfriend. "Yeollie."

Chanyeol hugs his boyfriend from behind, cupping his chin gently. "Hey love. Did you wait long?"

Baekhyun smiles. "A little. To be honest, I was getting a bit worried."

The giant's lips find their way to the brunet neck, kissing down the expanse of the smooth skin. "Coach made me stay extra and run laps because I made some pretty lousy shots during practice."

"Aw, poor you," The brunet laughs.

"You don't sound very pitying."

"Why would I feel sorry? It sounds like you deserved it." Baekhyun pokes his boyfriend's arm. "Just drink some water and you'll be fine."

"I'm offended. I thought you cared more."

"I do care. But not when you bring it upon yourself." The older plays with the giant's rough-ish hands.

Chanyeol steals Baekhyun's water bottle from the side pocket of his bag and waterfalls some water. The brunet throws his boyfriend an indignant look. "Wow."

The giant lowers the bottle. "What? You told me to drink water."

"You know you don't have to waterfall. I don't really care. You kiss me all the time anyways. I personally don't see the difference."

"Sorry. I'm used to waterfalling from a bottle that isn't mine. We do it all the time during games when one of us doesn't bring enough water. It's a habit." Chanyeol continues to drink, this time putting the mouth of the bottle to his lips.

"Mm-hmm." The brunet pokes his boyfriend's ribs absentmindedly, just wanting the skinship.

"Are you trying to choke me?" Chanyeol caps the water bottle and slips it in Baekhyun's bag. "You know I'm ticklish."

"I know." The brunet reaches up and prods Chanyeol's neck, who on reflex raises his shoulder to clamp Baekhyun's hand. "Aish!"

Baekhyun simply reaches up with his other hand and starts glossing over the other side. Chanyeol groans in agony. "Baek."

"What?"

"You are so lucky I love you."

"I know." The playful brunet nuzzles his boyfriend's chest. "I know."

"So modest," the giant sarcastically remarks.

"I know."

"Would you stop? You sound like a broken record."

"I know."

"Baekhyun!"

"Oops. That last time was unintentional!" Baekhyun tiptoes to peck Chanyeol's lips. "Come on, let's go. We've spent enough time out here anyways."

Chanyeol touches Baekhyun's cheek tenderly before guiding him out the door.

(ANs for each will be written in bold.) This was originally in my rant book and I just never found a spot for it... so... here it is!

The next one is an idea from Princessaurora2004 !

Clang! Thunk! The ball hits the rim and lands on the floor.

Jongdae sighs and rolls his eyes. Minseok just laughs. "You'll get it one day."

"Maybe." Jongdae sulks as he watches his boyfriend sink a three-pointer with ease. "Show-off."

"Oh come on! You're just being salty." Minseok complains, chasing after the ball. "You just need some more practice."

"That's what everyone says." Jongdae sighs.

"Then it's most likely true." Minseok reasons. "Don't look so dejected." He bounces the ball once and lets it roll off, walking over to hug his boyfriend. "Smile, okay?"

Jongdae sticks the tip of his tongue out. "I'd feel better if you'd kiss me," he bargains.

"Fine."

"Yah! Sehunnie! Give me back my water bottle!" Luhan chases Sehun through the school halls. Sehun only laughed and continued to run.

The playful younger had stolen Luhan's water bottle and was now running away with it, forcing Luhan to chase him. Only problem is, Sehun had gotten a pretty massive head start.

Sehun runs for the gym, pushing open the door and running inside, only to stop in his tracks at the sight in front of him.

"Sehun-ah!" Luhan crashes into his boyfriend's back and wraps his arms around Sehun's slim frame, grabbing his water bottle back and stuffing it into his bag. "What are you looking- oh."

"Oi! Get a room, you two!" Sehun shouts, his voice bouncing off the walls.

Jongdae and Minseok separate sheepishly, look at each other once, then run for the other exit, neither wanting to stick around to face the wrath of Oh Sehun.

Luhan just laughs, hugging his boyfriend  tightly. "Come on!" He runs for one of the basketballs, being the sport enthusiast he is. "We're here anyways!"

Sehun picks up a basketball that was laying near the entrance. "Heads up!" With a flick of the wrist, he tosses the ball at Luhan, who just chucks it at the backboard and let it fall in.

Sehun walks to Luhan, a basketball spinning on one of his perfect nails. "Nice. You up for some one-on-one?"

Luhan nods, eyes shining with excitement. "Who starting with the ball?"

"I will." Sehun holds the ball in his hands. "Ready?"

As quick as lightning, Luhan slaps the ball out of his boyfriend's hands and shoots it at the net. It bounces off the rim and falls out.

"Drat."

"Serves you right for stealing the ball." Sehun says, his eyes crinkled with humor. "And so does this!"

Luhan lets out a half muffled shriek as Sehun starts tickling him. "Sehun-ah!" He clings onto the fabric of his boyfriend's tee shirt, wobbling. "Stop!"

Sehun stops, hugging his boyfriend tightly. "Alright alright." He nuzzles his nose against Luhan's and pecks his lips.

How hypocritical.

I hope you liked it, Princessaurora2004 ! HunHan and XiuChen are great! ChanBaek's still OTP though.

One more!

"So, when are you finally finishing that painting?" Chanyeol asks Baekhyun a few days later, wrapping his arms around the brunet and pressing his chest up against Baekhyun's back. He breathes in Baekhyun's sweet scent and exhales contently.

"Soon." Baekhyun's focus is on a book. He flips the page.

"Gee thanks Baek. I feel really loved today." Chanyeol nips the outer shell of Baekhyun's ear playfully, slightly disappointed.

"I give you so much attention as it is. Go do something on your own. Go on a walk outside or something," Baekhyun answers dismissively. He pushes Chanyeol's arms off of him.

"Oh come on!" Chanyeol pulls out his phone and snaps a photo of Baekhyun reading.

"Are you posting that or something?" Baekhyun asks as he hears the shutter.

"Nah, I'm setting it as my lock screen." Chanyeol taps at his phone.

"Sounds cool." Baekhyun doesn't really process what Chanyeol had just said.

"Baek, what are you reading that's keeping you so intrigued?"

"It's a book on editing videos and stuff."

"Why? You planning to become a YouTuber?"

"It's an option."

After Baekhyun had finally gotten Chanyeol to go to the gym, he sits down at his art stool and takes out his supplies. He paints a splatter watch color design on a piece of paper and sets it out to dry.

After adding a few finishing touches to the Chanyeol portrait—the very thing that was reason they were together now—Baekhyun prints a date on the bottom corner in a tiny, scrawled script.

11.27.17

And to think that the dumb elf thought I forgot his birthday, Baekhyun thinks, indignant. As if.

He writes a small note on the now dry watercolor paper and sets it on the painting. Baekhyun takes the painting and the note, wrapping it up in wrapping paper.

Now all he had to do was wait.

Chanyeol walks back into the room a few hours later, hair dripping and a towel slung over his shoulder. Baekhyun was fast asleep on his bed, so Chanyeol walks over and sits on the bed, stroking Baekhyun's cheek lightly.

Baekhyun's eyes flutter open. "Hey. You're back." He sits up, snuggling into Chanyeol's chest. "Happy Birthday, Yeol."

"I thought you forgot!" Chanyeol hits Baekhyun's arm lightly.

"No way!" Baekhyun tosses his gifts at the giant. "Open them!"

Chanyeol's eyes light up as he pulls away the wrapping paper and reveals himself, staring back at him.

"Oh wow Baek, thanks for the mirror," he compliments, amusement in his tone.

"Oh shush." Baekhyun looks at the painting, eyes shining with pride. "Look over here for a second."

Chanyeol blinks, pretty eyes glistening.

"Are you crying, Yeol?" Baekhyun touches Chanyeol's cheek lightly.

Chanyeol shakes his head. "I'm just a little overwhelmed, that's all." He sets the painting down and puts Baekhyun in his lap. "And I had thought that you'd forgotten about my birthday."

"Ouch."

"Now where's my birthday kiss?"

Baekhyun leaps out of Chanyeol's lap and dashes to the other side of the room. "Come and get it!"

Well, that's all. I'm sorry that this took so long... it wasn't really a priority.

I want to thank everyone for reading this book and just support me in general. This book is now at 11K, which is amazing. I'm almost at 300 followers, which is beyond crazy. (We need to come up with a little family name, don't we? Any suggestions? :D)

Well, that's all, have a great rest of your day!
