Falling | Mxm (Completed) Chapter 100

The cheering sound was still loud and ongoing when they were done getting changed. The fans were still singing the encore song even though the concert had finished about 10 minutes ago.

“Please tell me you’re coming home with me. I don’t wanna sleep alone again tonight! It’s been a week!” Edwin said tiredly as he back-hugged Aiden on their way to the van, dangling from his body.

“I still have a few things to take care of. But I’ll go home tonight if my baby wants me to.” The singer said as he bent down a bit, took hold of the lean thighs, and made Edwin jump up so he could piggyback him the rest of the way.

“Hmm, I want you to. I really really do. Although I’m gonna fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow, I still want you to hold me.” Edwin murmured into his neck, probably already half-asleep.

“Everything for you, bluewin.”

It was still unfamiliar to Aiden. The path to their new home was, although it had been around 6 months already.

Four years into their relationship, they decided to move to a bigger place. It was still an apartment, but it was a fancier one, with more rooms so they could have guest rooms, since the number of people having a sleepover at their home had increased. Finn and Clara had their second child, a boy, two years back, and the two kids loved the Eden couple so much that whenever they came to visit, they just wouldn’t leave. They made one of the new rooms a kids’ room, filled with toys and two beds, so the siblings could stay whenever they wanted. Brad and Mia had gotten married a year ago, and she was pregnant with a baby girl as well. Something told the celebrity couple that their new angel would want to stay with the siblings at their place as well.

And then there were the IanJoe couple with their now two dogs in addition to the two cats. They wouldn’t leave them at home, so Edwin made sure to build a corner for the pets with cute small houses, pet toys, and everything. Everybody hung out in their place whenever they were in town and not on tour, so they kind of had to have these things prepared for all of them to enjoy their time together without worrying. The kids would play in their room, the pets would play in their place without breaking anything and the grown-ups had the living room to hang out and drink or do whatever they wanted to do. The only couples with no pets and no kids were the Evans brothers and their partners.

And they had to have another guest room as well, since Edwin’s parents started visiting them more often lately. After years of being cautious about Aiden and how he treated their son, they finally realized he wasn’t a shitty husband and so they came with lots of homemade food and big smiles and stayed the night.

Aiden being Aiden, he had gotten used to his singing and producing career a couple of years back. He still loved it when he performed and when he worked on music, but it was no longer enough. He wanted more. He had to start doing something else before he would get sick of his music, which he really didn’t want to happen.

Thus, he started his own brand with the help of two very talented and creative women with great ideas. It didn’t take long for their company to start having a decent amount of profit, since they had Aiden’s unbelievable popularity behind them. All of this resulted in needing one giant room in the house. One that the celebrity could both do his music in and work on his fashion-related projects. But every good thing had some bad sides to it as well. Although he was successful in the fashion industry with the unique styles he and his colleagues came up with, he now had even less free time. There were nights they all had to stay at the company to get everything thoroughly prepared for the announcement of their new collection.

“Eddie, baby, we’re here.” Aiden caressed his lover’s cheek gently. The younger had his eyes closed, but he knew he wasn’t asleep.

“I’m so freaking tired. I just want you to force me into the shower fast and then I wanna sleep for three days straight.”

Edwin had been quite busy as well. He had been contacted by so many modeling agencies as soon as he danced in Aiden’s music video with the rest of the Encroachers a few years back. He didn’t really want to accept their offers, being quite nervous and panicking about ‘I don’t know shit about modeling, Aiden. Stop saying I should call them back. I’ll just make a joke of myself.’ But in the end, the singer was successful with his constant praises and sweet words of reassurance that he was going to be perfect and it was just posing for pictures and nothing more.

Edwin’s modeling contract wasn’t one that required him to do runways and such, it was just about posters and commercials. But soon, his face and body, and the whole aura of him attracted quite a lot of attention from the media, and his email was flooded with offers. So much so that they had to ask Luis to manage him as well as Aiden.

“You can sleep as much as you want. You’re free for a whole week, anyway.” Aiden kissed the back of the younger’s hand as they walked to the door of their apartment.

“SURPRISE!!!”

A sudden wave of screaming, clapping, and whistling attacked them as soon as they step foot inside. Aiden was frozen on the spot for a few seconds, eyes wide, as he just observed what was happening.

Everyone was there. Their group of friends with their partners and their kids and pets, Dr. Chad and Lucas, Hugo and his boyfriend Dylan, Patrick and Hyo, and a number of other celebrities that Aiden was friends with, Vincent and Christian — they way came back to town two years back and Vin started doing music again while Christian worked at Aiden’s label as a model along with Edwin now. Yes, of course Aiden used his ethereal boyfriend as a model in his company, what about it!? — Edwin’s parents, Luis, and a few of the company staff they were close to, Dr. Abrahams, (although Edwin still didn’t like the guy very much and became jealous whenever he was around but he was Aiden’s friend so he had to suck it up for the night and invite him), Kurt, — Edwin made up with him a year ago at fucking last when he was visiting the place his sister loved and saw the other man there as well and they started hanging out more whenever they had free time which wasn’t very often really — and at last… Aiden’s stepfather. His mother passed away a year ago while he was on tour, and he didn’t really feel anything about it. He just wished he had the chance to say goodbye and that he never hated her, but just got disappointed in her repeatedly until he didn’t care anymore. But the past was in the past, and now Mr. Evans was a permanent member of their get-togethers with Max and his boyfriend, Joshua.

“What is this?!” He asked laughing as he looked back at Edwin, who didn’t look sleepy at all anymore.

“HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!” His beautiful black-haired lover shouted as he lifted his arms in the air dramatically, causing everyone to giggle. A second later, all the people present started singing him the happy birthday song as he was pushed inside by Edwin, since he was too shocked to move, apparently.

“Make a wish, baby.” The taller said as he brought the cake to Aiden’s face.

He just stared at him. At how beautiful and perfect Edwin was. He was searching for something to wish for, but he couldn’t find anything. He had everything he could ever want and more, all collected in this one man standing in front of him with that bright smile and big eyes that were looking at him with so much love.

“What should I wish for when I already got you?” He said and leaned in to kiss those inviting delicious lips, not really caring about the possibility of catching on fire while doing so.

‘Ew’s, ‘get a room’s, and ‘there are children here’s echoed in the living room but the laughter that followed showed that no one was really disgusted by the kiss and they were actually admiring these two love-birds whose love only seemed to get deeper.

He loved it. He loved him. If all the shit he had gone through was necessary for him to end up with this gorgeous human, he loved it all. If there was a next life, he wanted to fall in love with Edwin again and again and again until he would fade into nothingness. Until Edwin would get sick of him and ask him to leave him alone, but he knew that would never happen. He could see in those eyes that the man loved him just as much as he did, if not more.

“I love you for this life and all the lives after.” He whispered against the red lips.

“I love you forever and more.” Edwin handed the cake to the person next to them, not really knowing or caring who it was, as he circled his arms around his man’s neck and kissed him passionately.

The party went on. Edwin was busy playing with the kids cos they just loved him so much and then the sound of the bell attracted all the attention to the front door.

“Are we expecting anyone else?” Aiden asked him.

“Not that I know of.” He shook his head, putting Ari down and going to the door.

“Hey, little brother!”

There, at their door, was a girl with lilac hair and a gorgeous smile on her face. She was back.
