Chanyeol softly knocked on Baekhyun's door before gently calling, "Baek, it's me, can I come in please?"

There was a small silence before Baekhyun softly replied, "Yes."

Chanyeol took a deep breath before he opened the door, and he felt his heart squeeze when he saw Baekhyun buried beneath his blankets with a pillow clutched against his chest. The first thing he did was crawl into the bed beside him and gently remove the pillow, replacing it with himself.

Baekhyun didn't complain at Chanyeol for talking away his pillow, instead he immediately latched onto him and buried his face in the cool cotton of his shirt, as small tears rolled down his cheeks and soaked two little circles into the fabric.

They didn't speak —- Chanyeol knew better than to say anything —- instead he quietly sat there and proved the warmth of his arms around Baekhyun with the reassurance of his love. Baekhyun held onto him like his life depended on it, and he never wanted to left go. As the quiet between them continued to stretch on, Baekhyun took the time to mentally ready himself before he planned on taking Kyungsoo's advice to share a little bit of his past. It wouldn't be easy, but he believed they were strong enough to survive it together.

It was another moment before Baekhyun spoke, his voice muffled due to Chanyeol's shirt. "I'm sorry if I scared you, and I know you would never purposefully hurt me, but I use to get hurt so much by people I thought who cared. They would promise me happily ever afters, and like a fool I believed them every time. I kept my guard up with you in the beginning because I couldn't bare to get hurt again, but now that I know you and have given you my heart, you have the power to hurt me more than anyone else."

"If I wasn't so hopeless in love with you, I probably would have run away by now . . . But Chanyeol, I've been hurt before and I could never do that to you. When we talk about our future together, it just never actually felt real, not until I heard you say those things you said. Only then it suddenly became real to me and I . . . I ran away because I'm afraid. I need you more than I'd like to admit, so if one day I suddenly find myself without you . . . I don't know," Baekhyun whispered.

"All I know is, I'm afraid at how deeply I've fallen in love with you, and I can't bare another heartbeat," Baekhyun quietly said.

Chanyeol listened to him quietly, and the moment he stopped talking Chanyeol decided to fill the silence. "I'm sorry for frightening you, I didn't realize you've been hurt so many times. But I promise you, Byun Baekhyun, you'll never have to be afraid of me ever hurting you. Yes, some times we might fight, but every couple does and every couple who truly love each other find a way back together. We will fight, and when we do and one of us is so angry we leave, let's just promise to always come back to one another."

"I didn't know what I was doing before I met you, and now that I have, I wake up everyday with reason —- to keep you and the little bean safe; to love you both with all my heart; to take care of you both. Those are my reasons, and I think they're pretty great. I love you so much, Baekhyun, and I don't plan on going anywhere but home to you."

"I love you," Chanyeol whispered as he softly kissed the crown of Baekhyun's head.

Baekhyun sniffled and tipped his head back, and their eyes searched each other before their lips meet in a gentle kiss. Baekhyun threaded his fingers through Chanyeol's hair, and Chanyeol gently held his waist as he lowered him onto his back. They kissed gently and passionately, just content to feel the other in such a small yet intimate way, and it was enough. They didn't need the hot passion and lust filled desire to express their emotions through kissing, they were happy with their gentle love.
