You knew they hadn't lived easy lives, but that didn't mean they were going to spend the rest of their life struggling to find the means to be happy again.

You would stand with them so they could find the promised return of happiness they dreamed of.

Of course, you were already as happy as can be with them. There was no place sweeter in this world than when you were able to catch Ray off-guard and sweep him off his feet into a kiss to remind him to take a break. There was no place spicier in this world than when you took Saeran by the arm and peppered his face in kisses to ensure the break he took rejuvenated his energy levels for the rest of the day.

It only took a few heated kisses from their favorite gardener to make it to the end of the work day.

Your motivation to make it to the end of your work day was the same, more or less, because surviving your shift meant you could take your boyfriends home and cozy up on the couch for the rest of the night... and what better joy could you experience than that? Even if one was near and the other was far, you were still happy to be with them.

Ray and Saeran were your world now; You certain you were their world, too.

"You look giddy today," Saeran commented as he greeted you in the doorway. He was in the process of putting on his jacket, but it wasn't long enough to hide the dress he was wearing. They'd run out of the pants that went with the other uniform, and Ray insisted it wouldn't be a bother to wear the dress when he took the first. Ever since that day, they hadn't bothered to ask for pants to change into.

They kept the dress.

It complimented their features.

Sure, they wore stockings to cover their legs but you could still see the creeping lines on their right side. The accident they suffered at that horrible place... they carried it with them every day, but you'd never seen it as a mark of anything they did wrong. You saw it as a mark of survival against all odds. You never hesitated to say that if they needed to hear it again and again.

"It's because I can't wait to take you home, my sweet little maid," you replied. Saeran raised a brow at you, but you paid it no mind as you slid closer to him, and let your wandering hands rest against his ass. "Don't think I haven't seen the way you've been purposefully leaning over to flaunt this peach at me. I know the difference between your work styles, Saeran. Ray's too shy to let me gawk at him the way you always invited me to stare at you."

That drew laughter to his lips. He cupped your hands in his hands and sneered, "What makes you say I've been tempting you all day, huh? That's a bold claim. You don't have any proof to back up those claims. Who's to say I didn't decide to do that after lunch?"

You gave him a sharp look. "You were my lunch, Saeran, or did you seem to forget that?"
