Baekhyun is enjoying his second –or third– piña colada of the day when his husband interrupts him by kissing the corner of his mouth and sitting down exactly next to him. He can’t ask him how the pool was before Chanyeol picks him up and puts him in his lap, dropping his legs over his side and keeping one hand on his ass and the other on his knee. After all that, Chanyeol lays against the deck chair and looks at him through his sunglasses, smiling brightly. 

Baekhyun has been asked a lot if he still loves his husband after twenty years of marriage, and –by more unscrupulous people– if he still feels attracted to him. The truth is, Baekhyun should be deaf and blind not to feel attracted to this marvelous man that knows him better than anyone, had two kids with him, takes him on vacation to a paradisic island and still fucks him like he’s gonna die tomorrow.

It’s true that having kids didn’t allow them to have the same sex life they used to have when they were in their twenties, but Baekhyun still found everything Chanyeol did attractive, and having sex with his head completely buried on a pillow was sexier than everyone thought. Plus, other than being an incredible husband and father, Chanyeol was also very smart, and made sure both Dohyun and Soyoung had separate bedrooms, both in the same floor as their bedroom, but a bit more far down the aisle, so Baekhyun could finally moan like a whore without potentially traumatizing his kids.

So yeah, if he was on the way to getting a boner just because his husband could pick him up without breaking a sweat, and still touched him like he owned him after twenty years, no one could judge him. 

But even if he looked like a greek god dripping water and with his hair pushed back after getting out of the pool, Chanyeol still had frowned eyebrows, and Baekhyun wanted to know what was bothering his husband on their vacation. 

“Is everything alright?” he asks softly, letting his hand roam through Chanyeol’s hair. He scratches behind his head for a minute and the taller melts in his hands, still touching Baekhyun. He sips the last bit of his cocktail before setting the glass down on the glass table next to him and lays down completely on his husband, kissing his cheek. “You look like you have something on your mind.”

“Mmh,” Chanyeol grumbles softly, looking ahead of them. Baekhyun turns slightly and realizes Soyoung is sitting on a chaise-longue on the other side of the pool, on her phone, and smiling very brightly. When she bites her lower lip, Baekhyun looks away. He knows that expression. His daughter, although shy, was very bright and easy going, but to this day she hasn't said a word about crushes or people being interested in her. “I’m pretty sure your daughter has a boyfriend”

Damn, he wasn’t expecting it that soon.

“Uh, okay,” he nods and taps his fingers on Chanyeol’s chest, thinking. “How- are you sure?”

“I’m almost eighty percent sure,” he nods. “She’s been on her phone a lot, which doesn’t really mean anything, but don’t you think she’s been looking a bit more… bubbly, lately? She giggles a lot, she’s starting to wear lipstick-”

“Okay, that could mean nothing, love.” Chanyeol nods but looks at him like he’s already won. 

“Okay, love. The diving instructor tried three separate times to flirt with her and she didn’t even blink. She didn’t even look at him.” At this, Baekhyun raises one eyebrow.

“Did you look at him?” Chanyeol looks surprised for a second but chuckles and hugs him against his chest fast enough. Baekhyun gets his cheek kissed repeatedly for a minute before he gets an answer.

“No, I did not look at the diving instructor, love. I’m just telling you, your daughter is clearly acting like she’s not interested in anyone new.”

He hums softly. “That still could mean nothing. I mean, just because she doesn’t want to flirt doesn’t necessarily mean she’s already in a relationship.” Chanyeol nods, but Baekhyun can see him pushing his tongue against his cheek, as if contemplating something. “C’mon, what else?” He takes a second before speaking again, and this time he looks down at Baekhyun.

“You remember the other day she asked me if she could borrow my credit card?”

“Yes, what did she buy?”

“I saw the statement last night, and she bought a flower arrangement.”

Baekhyun drops his mouth in surprise. “Okay, that’s definitely something”

“That’s what i’m saying”

“No one graduated lately”

“Uh uh”

“And no one died lately.”

“We would remember”

“And if one of her friends had a kid, we would definitely know.”

Chanyeol nods again. “So she has a boyfriend.”

Baekhyun thinks for a minute, laying his head down on his husband’s chest. “I mean, it’s not necessarily a boyfriend”

“What do you mean?” 

“I mean it could be a woman, love.”

Chanyeol stays silent for a second. “That’s definitely better. I didn’t want to be mean and have to make threats.”

Baekhyun only hides his laugh against Chanyeol’s neck.
