Chapter Text
January 1st 7:42 a.m.
Robbe doesn't really know how he ended up in this position, but he wouldn't move for anything in the world. He's lying on the sand, right next to the waves, but only his fingers touch the water. He looks at the waves coming up to him and he doesn't even have to turn his head to know that Sander is next to him.
He has rarely been better. He's totally calm and he doesn't think about anything. Some time ago he would never have thought it possible, his brain was working without ever stopping, making him feel like it was impossible to think of nothing. And yet at this very moment this is exactly what is happening.
He sees the wave coming before it licks his face and yet he makes no movement to move. The water soaks his face and he hears Sander laughing. Sander leans over him and kisses him all over his face, almost stopping him from breathing.
"Sander..."
Robbe opens his eyes and utters a cry of surprise when he meets that he's at their house and that it's not his boyfriend who is kissing him.
Sander is lying down next to him and sleeps peacefully while their puppy tries to lick Robbe's cheek again. He raises his hand full of drool and sighs before laughing, taking the little beige pug against him.
When he knew that he and Sander were really going to live together, he immediately had the idea to give his boyfriend a dog for Christmas. Sander had told him hundreds of times how much he would have liked to have a dog when he was little, but his parents thought it was too much responsibility. Robbe can't really blame Sander's parents. They had 5 childrens, and even if they are teenagers or adults, it's always a big mess when they are all together so he can understand that they didn't want a dog in the middle of this big family.
But now that they both live in their apartment, it was finally time for Sander to have his Bowie. When Robbe sees how happy Sander is as soon as he takes care of him, he can't regret it, even if he gets woken up by the licks at not even 8 o'clock in the morning.
A slight meow attracts his attention and Robbe smiles as he catches Iggy before putting him on his belly, right next to the puppy who sniffs him and then goes back to bed.
He never thought Sander would be able to offer him a cat. He doesn't even feel like he said so many times that he would have wanted a cat when he was little. Being an only child, he would have felt less lonely. Now that he has Sander, he never feels lonely anymore, but he is happy to be able to cuddle this cute little tricolor kitten.
"Go to sleep, babies, it's too early."
Robbe closes his eyes and less than five minutes later, he feels the kitten move towards his head. He removes her a first time and then finally he lets her do it and slides his hand through Sander's hair, still asleep.
They both spent New Year's Eve together and even if an evening with the guys would have been great, just being with Sander and being able to kiss him at the countdown to midnight is enough to make him happy.
When Robbe wakes up, Sander looks at him, caressing the puppy still asleep on his belly, while Iggy sleeps on his pillow.
"I thought you didn't want them to sleep in our bed?"
Robbe looks at the empty dog basket next to the bed and shrugs his shoulders. Sander takes a huge smile and bends over to kiss him.
"I love you so much. I can't wait to spend this year with you. I've already found my good resolution."
Robbe raises a questioning eyebrow.
"Oh, yeah?"
Sander nods with a huge smile and kisses Robbe tenderly.
"Going to sleep and waking up next to the one I love. Every day."
Robbe laughs, running a hand through his boyfriend's hair.
"I love you too, babe."
Sander takes a big fucking smile and Robbe rolls his eyes knowing already what he's going to say to ruin this sweet moment.
"I was talking about Bowie. You agree with me, Bowie?"
Robbe hits him on the arm, pouting and Sander laughs before coming to sit on his thighs.
"You're so cute when you make that face."
Robbe frowns, trying to look upset but he knows he won't last long.
"Are you talking to me or your new lover?"
Sander delicately takes the sleeping puppy and puts him in his basket next to the bed before bending over to kiss Robbe.
"You will always be my new lover. The only one. The last one."
Robbe smiles as he pulls Sander towards him to keep his lips on his own.
"I love you."
Robbe strokes Sander's back while kissing him and only one thought comes into his head: ''The year starts really well !''
