Chapter Text
“I am glad you are safe, Baekhyun…”
Baekhyun is bothered of the senior’s words as if it is some distant radio that gave him a poignant feeling. Although glad that the meeting was calm and unproblematic, it is still beguiling to Baekhyun on why Yixing seemed unbothered about what happened five years ago.
Baekhyun is not sure of his memories, of his nightmares, but he holds a gut feeling that the senior is included in every fraction of its truthiness.
Could it be that he also forgot about what happened?
Yixing acted like nothing grand occurred in the past. He still interacted like the usual. However, each moment their eyes met, Yixing’s gaze struck him goosebumps, as if they held a hundred of meaningful secrets in it.
With the phone in his grip, Baekhyun’s been staring at his senior’s number for a moment long now. He’s just a call away, the answer is just a call away. His hands are itching to hit the call button.
But Loey suddenly intruding himself in, completely naked while drying his wet hair with a towel, has the pregnant man snapping his body in alert, a scandalized gasp leaving his mouth. He throws his phone somewhere on the bed to cover his eyes, his cheeks flaming in red.
“Yah! At least wear something!” Baekhyun whines.
He hears the taller scoffs, “Don't act too virgin, honey.”
Baekhyun frowns and peeks through his fingers but closes them back as soon as he sees that distractive herculean body again. His throat expands as he gulps hard. “Hurry and get dressed!”
He hears the latter laugh. “Fine, fine…”
Baekhyun almost sighs in relief when he hears footsteps probably retreating back to their walk-in closet. He takes that as a cue to finally retract his hands away from his eyes only for him to get greeted up-close by Loey’s body show as the latter already approached him in the bed. He yelps as Loey tackles him down, finding himself situated under the gloriousness of the husband’s mouthwatering physique.
The blush on his face goes severe in crimson color, his eyes round in panic, unblinking, pupils dilated and quivering under the latter’s intrusive and magnetizing ones.
Loey tilts his lips into a devilish triumphant smirk, peering briefly down to his monstrosity then back to Baekhyun, eyes glinting with tease. “So tell me… are you craving for something Honey?”
Ah yes, his craving. The reason why he asked the husband to wake up early this morning. His mouth is watering again for something, his stomach crying for an indescribable food.
His blush doesn’t die down as he stutters, “C-Co…”
Loey’s grin widens, anticipating.
“C-Coc…”
“Yes darling?”
“C-Co—Carbonara!”
The silence is momentarily loud that it is impossible to ignore the sound of the cry of invisible crickets.
And Baekhyun cannot believe he just witnessed a hard angry phallus sagging down in forlornness.
It is crystal clear to almost everyone in the mansion how immensely upset the head of the Phoenix is, except for the root-cause who rather has flowers blossoming in his background instead, a contrary to the dark aura Loey is emitting.
Baekhyun is all smiles as he enjoys his sumptuous carbonara, that his mafia husband cooked for him. He didn’t want it prepared by the maids. He adamantly requested that it should be Loey who must cook the meal for him.
And it’s amazing that this notorious mafia boss, that the whole world is afraid of, can actually cook. Byul also approves.
Baekhyun hums in delight as he swallows down the food and beams back at Loey. “This is so delicious!”
Loey has his elbow propped on the armrest of the chair, a hand on his cheek while he stares observantly at his two babies. He sported a scoff as a way to hide the fond smile dying to creep in his face.
“Eung!” Byul agrees with his papa. “Daddy’s carbonara is the best!”
Baekhyun giggles with his son, his “hehe” very cute and angelic to the ears. Baekhyun pets his son’s hair for being such a good boy, oblivious that their papa and son moment is making Loey’s heart swell in gaiety.
In Loey’s mind he’s like, How can someone be so effortlessly cute like this? Finally, the genuine smile that he’s been holding back for a moment now appears in his hard demeanor, enamored of Baekhyun, but it only lasts for seconds as Sehun comes in with an announcement to tell.
“The Deer is here.”
At the name of the clan mentioned, Baekhyun’s ear is found perking in alert, his expression suddenly changing.
Loey takes noticed of that minuscule detail, certain that he’s the cause.
“Papa! You’re doing it in a wrong way!” whines Byul, snapping Baekhyun out of his trance. A horrified but cute little gasp slips out of his mouth in an instant as he finally discerns how awful Byul’s uniform appears at the moment. The buttons are haphazardly fastened. Baekhyun gathers himself together and apologizes to his son, who frowns confusedly at his distracted papa.
“Papa, are you okay?” Byul asked, reaching to cup the father’s cheek. The gesture is heart melting that Baekhyun finds himself leaning to his touch.
“I’m fine. Maybe just feeling sleepy.” He feigns assurance.
“I will tell Daddy to accompany you to sleep.” Byul suggests in a pout.
Baekhyun would have refused to that highly but, suddenly there’s a strange voice inside his head telling him to agree. He holds his son’s both cheeks and squishes them gently as he looks straight into his round doe eyes.
“Yes! Tell that to Daddy! Tell daddy…”
Byul, so clueless, so innocent, excitedly bobs his head. “Eung papa!” then he hums, cute voice syrupy, “But Daddy has a visitor? Is that okay?”
Baekhyun really wants to say “It’s okay, he can just go home.” But at least a little sanity came into his brain, so he thinks what’s best for Byul. He doesn’t want Byul to grow disrespectful. “No baby… it’s alright. Daddy should attend his guest first, it’s rude to interrupt hmm?”
“Okay papa…”
However, Byul still goes to see his Daddy after. Just to bid him goodbye since he’s going to school.
Loey has some important discussion with Luhan when Byul comes into the study. Byul knocks first and politely greets his Daddy and the visitor.
And automatically, his presence brings sparkle in Loey’s eyes. “Ah baby…” Loey opens his arms wide to welcome his son. Byul runs to him, returning back the hug.
“I’m going to school daddy!”
“Good. If anything, just call me and papa hmm? Enjoy at school okay?” Loey bids, ignoring Luhan’s surprised expression at the side. Well this is the formidable mafia lord acting foreignly domestic.
“But Daddy…” Byul prompts, round eyes truly identical with his.
“Hmm baby?”
“Papa is feeling sleepy, I think he needs you…”
The silence is suddenly acknowledged, a comical sound of the crow comes through to fill the void.
Luhan tries not to laugh at that while Loey fights the urge not to appear that delighted.
Loey gives his son a pat on his side as he smiles down on him. “I will be with papa, don’t worry.”
“Eung, daddy. Please take good care of papa and my baby brother hmm?”
“I will, son. Always.”
Not longer, Byul is escorted out of the room and Luhan takes that chance to talk. “He even used your son just to get rid of me huh?”
Loey smirks, “He’s pregnant, Luhan.”
A sigh escapes from the latter, “I understand then dear sir. Now go and do your lovey dovey with your darling or honey sugar whatever.” Luhan rolls his eyes.
“We’ll discuss about this further more.”
Luhan hums, the seriousness coming back to his expression. “They are twins. But we don’t know which one you killed.”
“Looks like the sheep’s more cunning than the wolf huh?”
Loey creeps inside their shared room, only to find the pregnant husband already sleeping. Watching Baekhyun resting so soundly brings an immediate smile on his face. He goes very quietly in and lies next to him. And automatically, the smaller rolls around and clings unto him like a koala though sleeping. The embrace is always impactful but Loey can handle it every time—he’s not complaining at all.
“Stay…” he hears Baekhyun murmur to his ear. Loey kisses the side of his hair and pats his head gently, lulling him back to sleep.
And this is one of the moments Loey wouldn’t dare to miss. He’d bargain any instance just to have Baekhyun held in his arms always.
---
It’s a weekend. Byul doesn’t have school. Baekhyun goes to his son’s room to prepare him for the day, help him shower and the likes but upon reaching the chamber, he hears a lot of laughing coming from the inside. Curious, he walks in and catches his son and Loey playing tickles on the bed.
Loey is lying on the bed while Byul is straddling him on top. Baekhyun takes his time to watch the father and son. It’s so rare for him to catch moments like this. Especially seeing the mafia husband laugh unproblematically… it’s just so precious.
It’s only when Baekhyun clears his throat in pretense that the father and son stop their activity. Together, they simultaneously shift their gaze at the pregnant man. Baekhyun has a hand on his waist, an eyebrow raised as if chastising.
“Baby, you know it’s bath time already right?”
Byul goes down immediately from Loey to properly face his papa but also he scoots close to his daddy for protection. “Y-Yes papa.”
Baekhyun glares at Loey instead and the latter dad only shrugs and pout in denial. “We were just having fun honey. Wanna come and join us?”
Baekhyun rolls his eyes back at him. “Baby Yoda and I are good. Now go and bath Byul for me—” he yelps when Loey pulls him towards the bed and instead of tickling him with their hands, Byul and Loey tickle him with lots of smooches. As a revenge, Baekhyun tries to tickle them back but ends up only tickling the mafia husband.
At the end, Baekhyun finds himself on top of the mafia husband, his face on his massive chest and Baekhyun decides to rest there for a bit. Byul also joins them two, hugging Loey from the side.
Baekhyun feels Loey sighing in relief underneath him, and a kiss is planted on top of his head, making his heart flutter. Loey surrounds a hand around Baekhyun’s waist to protect him from falling, his other hand caging Byul into the circle.
Soon, Loey hears Baekhyun’s puppy moaning, he does that a lot when asleep. And the mafia husband can only stifle a laugh at their situation.
Ah, they will take a bath together, later.
A few hours later, Sehun comes into the room and is a little taken aback to see the cute sleeping situation of the family. The man can’t help but smile appreciatively.
However, there’s a news he must break to Loey urgently.
And it involves Baekhyun’s decision in it.
