Mike's hand turned to hold Devan's waist which felt right in his big hand. Their eyes met at one point, unconsciously they admired each other in silence. Mike gulped harshly as his gaze shifted to Devan's slightly parted lips as if inviting abuse. Unknowingly, they are now closer to each other with increasingly ragged breaths. Heartbeats sounded rhythmic, their eyes had no intention of turning to the same object, meeting lust that made them feel more and more suffocated. Mike almost lost control if Devan's little hand didn't grip his upper arm so hard. Mike almost fell, Devan was too cute to be a man.
"I just want to hug you!"
Mike now traps Devan in his warm embrace. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm the pounding of his heart. His body shook violently and made him grip the small body in his arms even tighter. The man had not felt this fun for a long time, Mike also wanted to do the best for the little teenager who was considered his brother.
"Oh..?"
Mike let go of his embrace and turned to cup Devan's face which felt very soft in his rough hands. They were silent for a long time, Mike tried to feel the feeling that suddenly infiltrated his heart. This feeling feels foreign and at other times makes him feel comfortable.
'"A week without seeing you makes me miss you. Hah… I'm glad to have this taste, boy!" said Mike in a clear voice of relief. Yes, at least the longing that used to be frozen can now melt again. Mike can feel it again, though in a different body.
Devan was silent for a moment, his whole body went limp until his body fell back into the man's arms. The hug tightened, making Devan wake up from his dream. His eyes were burning, he felt very touched. Mike was a new person in Devan's life, but somehow he already occupied a large part of his heart. Devan is grateful that at least there are still people who love him.
The days they spent together made them get to know each other. Breakfast with Mike who always compliments how delicious the food is. Mike even enthusiastically filled the refrigerator with a large supply of vegetables, meat, and many others hoping to eat a variety of delicious dishes every day. Mike is now no longer sleeping on the sofa, he has moved to his original room. While Devan is in another room that was recently renovated. Mike forced Devan to design his room so that the room that originally looked gloomy with dark-painted walls lookedooks bright with navy blue and beautiful ornaments. Mike also buys new furniture which makes Devan feel bad for the man's kindness.
"Do you like your room?" Mike asked after swallowing the food in his mouth. They are now sitting opposite the simple breakfast menu, which is fried rice with half-cooked eggs.
"I like it… But, I feel bad for you," Devan replied after drinking his water.
"Why?"
"You're too good to me."
"You want me to be bad?" Mike teased with a smirk.
"Not really!"
"Hemm… So just enjoy my kindness, OK?"
They were busy eating each other's breakfast that Devan had made. Their gazes met several times and Mike's lips widened in a smile. Devan tried to be indifferent even though his heart was struggling to return his best smile.
"You look free lately," Devan asked with his hands busy piling his used plates and Mike who had finished his breakfast too.
"You expect me not to see you?" Mike replied with a focused gaze on him.
"How is that possible… This is your house! I mean, you're not like the usual one who likes to disappear."
Devan tried to avoid eye contact that glared at him. He chose to walk away intending to clean up the mess in the kitchen. His hands were busy washing the utensils one by one with dishwashing foam. Devan almost dropped the plate in his hand when a fresh breath blew against the nape of his naked neck.
"Oh… Alright, next time I'll tell you when I'm leaving," the baritone voice whispered right in his ear.
"Are you teasing me?"
Devan turned around and scowled in annoyance. Their bodies were now staring at each other with Devan tilting his head up because his height only reached Mike's neck.
"What… That's not how I tease," Mike replied by placing his left hand on the table behind Devan. They get closer, Devan tries to run away but is taken aback a second time. Mike's big hand was now perched on his left cheek and gently caressed the corner of the boy's lips. Devan froze, unable to resist the touch of a hand that felt so thrilling and warm at the same time.
"What are you doing?" asked Devan moments after regaining consciousness.
"Shut up. You have foam on your face."
Mike's fingers danced more and more around his face. Tossing Devan's hair that almost hit the eye. Down through the sharp nose and ended up in the corner of Devan's half-open lips. Devan was getting more and more hypnotized, he was only able to return the piercing gaze that drifted away until a pinch on his cheek woke him up.
"Auch…!"
"Haha…. are you tempted?"
Mike was made to laugh with Devan looking confused. His round eyes blinked a few times and he finally realized that Mike had teased him.
"Damn, you tricked me!"
Devan was pissed off to death, though a part of him screamed with joy when he realized he was the source of Mike's laughter.
"I told you, it's not good for a kid like you to swear, boy!" said Mike ruffling Devan's fine hair.
"You messed up my hair one more time, I'll make sure this foam lands on your eyes okay?" threatened Devan bulging his eyes. Devan, who doesn't have any spooky features, looks even more adorable. Mike wanted to pinch Devan's soft cheeks one more time but he had to hold it in if he didn't want this bad boy to sulk even more.
"So cruel. Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and finish your work, then come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll find out."
Mike's hand seems so uncompromising that he lifts and pinches Devan's adorable cheek once again.
"Mike….!"
And Mike ran away before Devan could take revenge.

"What do you think about this one?"
Show a woman in a long red dress with some ornaments that add to the elegant impression.
"Good."
The woman purses her lips when the man is busy with his smartphone.
"This and this is more which is good?"
This time the woman tried to be patient, she pointed to the red dress with another black dress which was shorter this time.
"Everything looks good on you."
The man turned his head glanced and returned to the thing in his hand.
"Then, let's take both, shall we?"
"Take what you want."
The woman felt embarrassed when she didn't get the attention of her lover. Some of the people around her were trying not to laugh. But even so, she also doesn't want to worry, the important thing is that she can take advantage of a golden opportunity like this, free shopping. It seems that this interaction was witnessed by Mike and Devan who shamelessly let out an evil laugh. Devan felt sorry for her but seeing the two different types of people he felt very amused. How could I not, the woman even lightly grabbed a few more dresses at will without thinking about her busy lover. You'll see later, that Devan became curious when the shopping bill made the man's eyes roll, it's really sad.
"Fortunately I'm not interested in women," Devan said unconsciously making Mike's laugh instantly disappear.
"Hah?! What did you say?" Mike asked when he felt Devan talking to him.
"Oh? I said what is it?" replied Devan trying to quibble. He walked away cursing in his heart of stupidity earlier. Mike chased and slung his hand on Devan's narrow shoulder leaving a sharp gaze that followed the movement of the two.
