Paul smacked away Dorian's hand "Stop that, you have other means for touching my hair like that"
Dorian laughed "Like what? Am I doing something to you"
Paul wanted to stand up but Dorian rolled themselves over so he could be on top of Paul who froze when Dorian was on top of him "Ian? What's with you?"
Dorian nuzzled his head in the space between Paul's neck and shoulder "Nothing, I just feel like cuddling with you for a while"
Dorian handed Paul his phone and dozed off but Paul was totally distracted because he wasn't used to Dorian acting this way
Paul wanted to get him off him but he realized that Dorian had truly slept off 'Well, we did go shopping today and it wasn't an easy task for Ian to carry all those bags so I guess I'll just let him rest for now"
Later in the evening when it was dinner time and they went to join the others at the dining table meanwhile, Gaeul, Wilson and Bobae already went back to their apartment
Molly asked as she fed Lilac "Where's Lan?"
Yilao was curious too "Yeah, normally he would have played with Bobae after lunch but he left with you two to your room and now, he still hasn't come out"
Paul replied "He's just playing games, he'll come have his dinner when he's done"
Molly exclaimed "Oh! Alright then tell him his meal is in the fridge and should heat it up in the microwave when he's ready to eat"
Paul nodded "Sure will do"
When they got back to the room later, Lane was already done with his games and wanted to go eat but Paul said "Go shower, for some reason, you stink"
Lane grumbled in dissatisfaction but went to shower and change then left to go eat his dinner but Paul did tell him what Molly said he should
When Lane left, Paul also went to take a shower while Dorian went to caress Milky's fur
Paul realized that he forgot his towel in the room so he opened the door slightly and popped his head out as he asked "Ian, can you help me get my towel?"
Dorian nodded and went to take it but when he was about to give Paul, he was shocked into stupor
Paul's hair was wet and water was all over his chest, he spotted his nipple too. Dorian gulped and threw the towel at Paul
Luckily, Paul let go of the door and caught the towel "Hey, what gives!"
Dorian was distracted by Paul's legs and couldn't reply
Paul followed his line of sight and immediately closed the door not before shouting "Ian! Stop looking at me like that!"
Dorian could tell that Paul was blushing and he chuckled at the thought
Paul came out a few minutes later dressed in a sleeveless floral crop top and pajama shorts which did not reach his thighs
Dorian was on his laptop and didn't turn around when Paul came out
Paul laid on the bed and started another interior design on his laptop
Dorian was focused on hacking into the security cameras around the vicinity because when Paul went into the bathroom, he felt someone watching him again
Dorian gritted his teeth furiously when he didn't find anything 'Ugh, I don't like the fact that this guy just keeps coming and going as he wishes'
Paul glanced at Dorian who looked upset and was puzzled 'He didn't even spare a glance at me, is he that busy hacking into something right now? But he does look a bit frustrated'
Paul didn't know what was wrong but he wanted to cheer him up so he closed his laptop and stretched out his arms to Dorian "Wanna cuddle?"
Dorian was surprised by the invitation and turned around but was stumped by what Paul was wearing 'I've never seen him wear that little except that one time we went to the beach but.. that was the beach! Paw, what are you doing to me?'
Dorian sucked his breath in and closed his eyes "No"
Paul pouted annoyed as he laid on his stomach as he swung his legs in the air "You cuddled me without my permission but now I ask you to cuddle, you refuse me, you're so unfair, Ian"
Dorian opened his eyes but was stumped again by Paul's bubble butt 'Damnit, Paw, you're the one being unfair'
Dorian groaned as he tried to get all the bad thoughts out of his head 'Say no, say no... argh.. damnit!!'
Dorian closed his laptop and climbed onto Paul then whispered into his ears "I suddenly.. wanna do more... than just cuddling"
Dorian's voice in his ears made Paul's body tingle a little and he bit his lips 'Ian's being odd again, I only asked for a cuddle because he seemed upset now he's trying to turn it into something else'
Paul felt something hard poke his butt which made him go red "Ian?"
Dorian hummed in response and Paul gulped because he didn't dare ask since he could already tell what it was
Paul had so many thoughts running in his head but Dorian thought he was uncomfortable since he kept quiet so he wanted to stand up
But Paul turned to lay on his back and pulled Dorian back "W-where are you going?"
Dorian quickly stabled himself with his arms to admire Paul's red face "To the bathroom"
Paul avoided his eyes "To do what?"
Dorian shrugged "Shower"
Paul asked "W-why?"
Dorian raised an eyebrow and smirked "You should know why and besides, you're at fault"
Paul pouted as he stared at Dorian "H-how is it me?"
Dorian pursed his lips as he and Paul made eye contact
The door suddenly opened and Paul pushed Dorian off him immediately
Lane didn't even see the two as he ran into the bathroom because he wanted to pee
The two of them looked at each other
Paul blushed and looked away while Dorian chuckled "Cute"
Paul lightly hit his shoulder without looking at him then turned his back on him
Paul shrieked slightly when a hand groped his ass and he removed it
Dorian smirked as he did it again which made Paul shriek again but he bit his lips and didn't remove his hand again
Dorian was about to fondle his ass when Lane came out so he retracted his hand
Lane informed them as he took his home slippers "I wanna go play with Bobae, Uncle Wilson and Aunt Gaeul have a dinner party to attend so they invited Bro Jack and Sis Molly. Sister Lao's taking care of Lilac while I'm with Bobae in their apartment. See you two dummies later!"
Lane ran out excitedly before they could reply and forgot to close the door
So Dorian wanted to close the door but Milky ran out the room after Lane and Dorian grinned at that as he locked the door from behind
Paul bit his fingers when Dorian took off his shirt and Paul gasped at his abs "Since when did you have six packs?"
Dorian shrugged and got on the bed "I don't know"
Paul admired him shirtless "I never saw you go to a gym"
Dorian raised an eyebrow "Are you trying to change the topic?"
Paul blushed and buried his head in the pillow as he mumbled "W-what do you mean?"
Dorian hovered over Paul as he made Paul lie on his back so he could face him
Paul was taken aback by Dorian's eyes 'I-it's that look again..'
Paul wanted to say something but Dorian took that chance and wanted to kiss him
Paul's eyes widened and he closed his mouth immediately before Dorian's tongue came in
Paul's body trembled when Dorian moved from his lips to his ear and nibbled on it "I-ian.. stop"
Dorian didn't answer him and continued to his neck giving him butterfly kisses
Paul tried to push Dorian off him but Dorian used one hand to pin his hands above his head "Dorian... please stop, Dorian"
Dorian moved his other hand inside Paul's crop top towards his nipple and Paul shouted as he closed his eyes "Milk!"
Dorian hand froze and he raised his head to look at Paul
Paul closed his eyes tight but could feel Dorian's angry gaze on him
Dorian got furious and released Paul then went to his laptop and tried to distract himself so he wouldn't lash out on Paul
Paul sighed in relief and fright when Dorian let him go
Paul got under the covers and bit his fingernails terrified 'Why did I call out his real name! Damnit, he's definitely furious with me'
A few hours later of total silence, Lane opened the door as he yawned and Milky ran inside "Damn, I'm so sleepy now"
Lane was about to get on the bed when he noticed that Paul was the only one in the room and he wasn't hearing any noises from the bathroom
Lane asked "Paw, where's Ian?'
Paul got up immediately and looked around "He isn't in here"
Lane nodded and Paul thought 'Did I imagine all of that? No, that's impossible'
Lane looked at the window in shock "T-the window's open"
Paul stood up and went to the window then looked down "Did he jump!?"
Lane shook his head as he came to the window "Ian wouldn't do that, he probably opened the window so he could portal to the ground but why would he leave?"
Paul pursed his lips 'Probably because of me'
Lane took out his phone "I'll call him now"
Another phone started ringing in the room and Lane and Paul looked at each in shock as they said in unison "He left his phone!"
They both became worried and Lane said "Why didn't he take his phone, how are we gonna reach him now!"
Paul tried to calm Lane and himself down "He'll come back, maybe he went on a stroll or something and didn't want to use the elevator because it would take a while to get down"
Lane shook his head and headed towards the window "No, this won't do, I'll go after him"
Paul pulled him back "You don't even know where he could be and we can't reach him, it's best if we wait for him to get back"
Lane huffed and looked at the window "Fine but he better be back before breakfast because we can't let the others know he left on his own without his phone"
Paul said "He's strong enough and if he is in any danger, he'll just portal himself out, right?"
Lane looked at him "Are you assuring me or yourself?"
Paul pursed his lips and sat on the ground "It's all my fault! I called him Milk a-and he got angry and he-"
Lane was shocked and grabbed Paul's shoulders "Why would you do that!"
Paul couldn't explain to his older brother and just looked to the ground dejectedly
Lane sighed "Did he try to kiss you?"
Paul eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Lane
Lane scoffed as he sat opposite him "Don't give me that look, I see the way he stares at you when you're not looking and I acted oblivious because you're a blockhead"
Paul was stumped "W-what? Since when?"
Lane replied "About five years ago, I don't know how or why but that was when he started looking at you differently and treating you special than others but as usual, you noticed nothing and unknowingly friendzone him. You even went ahead to date someone"
Paul stated "It was online and didn't even last that long!"
Lane rolled his eyes "Online or offline, dating is dating and besides, who starts dating in middle school also we weren't even teenagers then. You two dated for a year and a half, how is that not long? Ian was the one who comforted you for a whole six months but when you got over that guy, you went on to date another one"
Paul mumbled "It was still online and didn't last for more than a year"
Lane snorted "Yeah because you broke up with him last year. Dorian's been by your side and you never ever once noticed his feelings for you!"
Paul couldn't reply and Lane sighed "I confronted Dorian about this matter and do you know what he said"
Paul curiously perkef his ears up "What?"
Lane cleared his throat "If he's happy then I'm happy, don't you dare tell him!"
The duo looked at each other and chuckled then Paul said "That does sound like him"
Lane held Paul's shoulders as he seriously looked him in the eye "Give the poor boy a chance, he needs it"
Paul sighed as he looked down "I don't think he likes me anymore"
Lane stated "He didn't leave because he was angry with you, he left because he didn't want to get angry with you"
Paul was puzzled and so was Lane "Did I say that right?"
Paul smacked Lane's hand off his shoulders "I think I kind of get what you mean but I'll wait for him"
Lane yawned "Your choice, I'm going to sleep and if you're gonna stay on the floor at least get a jacket so you won't catch a cold"
Dorian ran after the man in black who was trying to get away amidst the crowd of people
Dorian frowned because he wasn't used to Washington so he couldn't use his abilities among the crowd or he'll get the police called on him so he continued chasing after the guy until unfortunately, he lost track of him when someone bumped into him and fell to the ground shocked
Dorian wanted to continue after the man but the guy held his arm and pulled him to himself
Dorian broke out of his hold and glared at the man "Who are you?"
The guy shrugged and disappeared in front of him and Dorian's eyes widened in shock "A puppet?"
Dorian decided to drop the matter and head back home but it was late and he heard a scream from the direction the shadowy person he chased at first disappeared to so he ran towards that direction
Dorian met a guy trying to force himself onto a girl and paused then turned around like he saw nothing
The girl yelled at him "Please help me! Please!"
The guy grunted "What makes you think that little kid can go against me?"
Luckily, Dorian has his mask on which covered his head and had a eye color changing visor on so even if they did see him another time, he wouldn't be recognized so he decided to vent his anger out on the guy
Dorian grinned and walked towards them then the guy shouted "If you come near, I'll beat you up kid now run along!"
Dorian yawned and snatched the girl from his grip with his psychic ability then signalled for her to run away which she did
The guy was shocked but still tried to hold his composure as he pulled out a knife then ran towards Dorian but his body stopped all on his own
The guy grunted "W-why won't my body move!"
The guy glared at Dorian who was inches away from him "What did you do to me! Bastard!"
Dorian shrugged and the guy's hand which was holding the knife pointed towards his neck "S-stop that! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!!"
Dorian thought whether to kill him or not then decided to kill him since there was no one around, it was late and he already used his powers on him
The knife stabbed into his throat and the guy vomited blood when he tried to speak
But Dorian wanted to make sure he was dead so he carved his heart out of the body then it slumped down to the ground
Dorian threw the heart into a bin on the side 'Disgusting but anger quenched'
Dorian looked at his shirt which was stained with blood 'Maybe I went too far? Nah'
Then a voice spoke up as he was about to leave the alley "You're pretty gruesome for a teenager"
Dorian turned around and almost got a sword impaled in his chest but luckily, he had opened a portal and it impaled the shadowy man's chest
The man and Dorian looked at their chests in shock
The man spurted blood as he asked "You're not supposed to be able... to open it that fast..."
The man then slumped to the ground and the shadows made him seem invisible disappeared and his true body showed
Dorian was horrified and amazed at his new improvement 'I just successfully combined my psychic ability and portal ability. I was able to open a portal using my psychic although it was small, it greatly helped me this time'
Dorian wanted to search the guy's body but didn't touch him
He found nothing on him except a kind of weird handmade bag using straws 'What the heck, this bag looks older than Grandpa, why the heck does he carry this around, it's not even that big to fit a dagger'
He heard sirens in the distance and thought 'That girl must have gone to the police station, shit! No one asked her to!"
