"Chanyeol! Help me!" Baekhyun yelled, his legs aching because of how long he had been kneeling. "Our babies are going to drown!"

It took a few moments but he finally heard Chanyeol's footsteps running up the stairs before the washroom door opened and Chanyeol quickly ran inside, falling to his knees in a heap. "I told you to let me clean them!"

At that moment, a big spray of soapy-water was flung onto the both of them and Baekhyun screeched, ducking behind Chanyeol.

"Baekhyun..." Chanyeol frowned. "You gave them the wrong shampoo. The human shampoo."

"But the dog shampoo smells so bad," Baekhyun pouted, now kneeling behind Chanyeol, peeking over the taller's shoulder to see the two balls of fluff wreaking havoc in their large bath tub. "And don't you want our babies to smell like me?"

"I'd like it if my dogs did not smell like my husband, thank you," Chanyeol answered, pulling off his wedding ring to place it on the counter just to make sure nothing got lost in the process. "And why do you keep calling them our babies?"

"Because..."

"Do you want kids?" Chanyeol asked almost teasingly, turning his head so that he was facing Baekhyun who was still leaning his chin on Chanyeol's shoulder.

Baekhyun's bottom lip jutted out and he glared at Chanyeol which made him laugh, leaning in to press a kiss onto the endearing pout. He knew how much Baekhyun liked kids.

"We can adopt?" Chanyeol suggested and Baekhyun's eyes lit up so quickly, his eyebrows raising.

"Yeah?"

"A girl?" Chanyeol questioned and Baekhyun looked as if he was going to jump up and down, his arms wrapping around Chanyeol's torso to backhug him, turning his head to squeeze Chanyeol as hard as he could.

"Yes."

Chanyeol only laughed, the shorter feeling the vibrations from his back right to his heart.

"We're out of lube."

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Baekhyun exclaimed, pushing the air out of his cheeks to blow the hair out of his face.

"Not kidding," Chanyeol said, almost solemnly.

Baekhyun let out a meek little whine, squirming in his spot because of how—sadly—turned on he still was. He was on his back with Chanyeol in between his legs, and things were just getting good before Chanyeol reached under the pillow and figured out that things weren't as good as they thought it was.

"Fucking—let go of my legs. We aren't doing this without lube. I don't want to die today, thanks."

Chanyeol hummed and did the opposite of what Baekhyun was asking him to do, hiking the shorter's legs up onto his shoulders and making him let out a short squeak.

"Park Chanyeol!" Baekhyun yelled, his back curving awkwardly because of the position.

"You know we don't have to go all the way to have fun," Chanyeol said and before Baekhyun could tell him to jump out the window, Chanyeol was ducking his head down and Baekhyun was choking on air, his fingers fisting the pillow under his head as his thighs quivered.

"Is that a..."

"Yes," Chanyeol confirmed.

"Oh my god, Chanyeol," Baekhyun muttered, disbelief evident in his voice.

Chanyeol had just come back, three hours late to dinner, holding a cage in his arms.

"A fucking ferret," Baekhyun said under his breath.

"A ferret." Chanyeol nodded.

Chanyeol expected Baekhyun to start yelling at him like he always did (which Chanyeol found extremely cute and would always tease Baekhyun about) but instead, Baekhyun started laughing.

He laughed for such a long time that Chanyeol was starting to get worried, and that worry only intensified when Baekhyun started crying.

"Baek?"

Baekhyun was half laughing and half crying, his hands going up to wipe at the tears falling from his eyes. "It's just—" Baekhyun hiccuped, "I just..."

He was full on sobbing now and Chanyeol put the cage down, making sure that the ferret didn't get harmed as he made his way over to Baekhyun.

"You're so dumb, and I love you so much and I just—I saw you with a fucking ferret and I started crying because I didn't know what I'd do without you," Baekhyun explained as Chanyeol wrapped his arms around the shorter, patting his head as Baekhyun cried into his shirt.

The shorter's fingers gripped the front of Chanyeol's shirt tightly and Chanyeol started kissing the crown of Baekhyun's head, his hands running soothingly up and down his back. "You'll never be without me. I'll become iron man and become invincible for you."

"Fuck you."

"Maybe one day, Baekhyun. Maybe one day."

"Don't you dare forget what you said," Baekhyun grumbled, pulling away from his lover to glare at him.

Chanyeol's hand settled on Baekhyun's cheek, thumb wiping away the tears. Baekhyun's hand reached up to wipe under his other eye and both of their wedding rings flickered in the light, the taller feeling an inexplicable amount of happiness fill him. "Now, what did I say?" Chanyeol questioned, a soft smile on his face.

"'I love you'."

THE END.
