andaikan seseorang bertanya tentang cinta, maka jemari heeseung akan menunjuk pada dada. mantap dia tekan, sebab ingin dunia tahu dia punya. satu, yang menjejali tulang rusuknya bagai bola-bola udara yang memampatkan. satu, yang resmi jadi rahasia hanya antara dia dan tuhan.

“ada di sini,” dia akan berkata dengan sorot meredup bagai tiang lampu taman, seakan-akan dia telah kehilangan sesuatu yang berharga.

mungkin, yang terjadi memang demikian. sebab jika ditanya perkara siapa dan wujudnya, dia akan mulai menerawang begitu jauh. seolah-olah cintanya mengawang di atas kepala, dekat namun begitu sulit tergapainya.

“ada,” dia akan bersikeras untuk tidak membagi nama, sebab cukuplah yang terbaik terukir di dalam hati dan kepala saja. sebab dia pikir apa-apa yang dia rasa adalah miliknya saja. dunia, tak cukup bagus untuk dapatkan sekelumit ceritanya.

maka, ketika tiba masanya berjumpa lagi dengan dia yang lekat menjerat hatinya dalam genggam rapat-rapat, heeseung datang agak ogah-ogahan. sebab melihatnya berdiri saja, mampu mengoyak dinding tinggi yang dia bangun mati-matian. satu lagi rahasia yang tercerabut keluar; mereka teman lama di kala masih duduk di bangku sekolah.

siapa, siapa orang gila yang merumuskan ide untuk adakan pertemuan setelah bertahun dia terseok-seok dalam usahanya untuk melupa?

orang-orang brengsek.

hyung!

nah, jantung yang seringkali dia informasikan sudah mati rasa pada kawan-kawan, mulai berdentum-dentum lagi. anak itu masih tampak sama; helai-helai rambut yang disingkap ke belakang dengan asal-asalan, dan celana bahan. heeseung melambai, dan mengamati derap langkah yang merangsek mendekati.

hyung datang.” kadang-kadang, kalimat ini terdengar retorik. tetapi peta di kepalanya telah kepalang menghafal tabiat yang bersangkutan, dan dia membiarkan kupu-kupu berputar-putar ribut di bawah ulu hatinya.

“sunghoon.”

sunghoon memamerkan deretan gigi-giginya. sejenak, mereka berdiri bagai orang asing yang baru pertama kali berbagi tatap. saling memperhatikan, untuk detail-detail yang mungkin terlewatkan. heeseung menelan ludah, lantas membasahi bibir bagian bawah.

“istrimu baik?”

ini topik yang mengandung duri-duri tajam; mencuat keluar, memaksanya untuk tunduk pada keadaan. sebab pada suatu ketika, dia pernah duduk di atas kasurnya, bermimpi untuk bisa merebahkan diri menggantikan posisinya yang begitu dia damba.

sunghoon tertawa, lantas membagi kepalan tangan untuk bertemu lengan. main-main, memang. tak sakit, pun. tetapi dampak suara tawa pada hatinya, jauh lebih menyiksa.

“baik.” kata sunghoon diserta satu senyum miring yang kelewat bajingan. “dia sedang bunting.”

“oh.” heeseung merasa hatinya mencelus ke dalam lumpur hitam nan pekat. dia tenggelam, dalam, dan merasa takkan pernah naik ke permukaan. maka, yang dia agihkan ialah kelakar yang kurang jenaka. “sedikit lagi jadi ayah?”

“kutakar,” sunghoon bergumam-gumam, dan mulai menghitung dengan jari-jemarinya. “empat bulan lagi.”

heeseung seringkali berpikir. di semesta lain yang ramah dan baik hati, mungkin itulah mereka; duduk di serambi rumah dengan anak-anak berlari-larian melintasi halaman. dia akan sibuk dengan jemarinya yang bergerilya di antara rambut hitam milik sunghoon, sementara anak itu menjadikan pahanya sebagai tumpuan kepala.

hyung.

heeseung mendongak, dan berharap dia tidak melakukannya. sebab ada sorot rindu yang dia tangkap di sana; satu, yang dia yakin juga berenang-renang di dalam bola-bola matanya. kadang-kadang, dia juga bisa melupa. bahwa dalamnya bening mata anak itu, ialah yang menjatuhkannya untuk kali pertama pada waktu yang lalu.

pada akhirnya, dia membiarkan sunghoon menyeretnya naik ke lantai dua. setiap detiknya, membisukan kebisingan teman-teman di belakang. setiap langkahnya, menariknya dekat menuju hasrat yang dia sembunyikan jauh-jauh di dalam; bahwa tak ada keinginan yang mutlak dia kehendaki selain merengkuh punggung lebar itu dan membenamkan wajahnya di sana. sungguh, ini tidaklah benar.

di balkon jauh dari ramai massa, mereka duduk berdua. jemari saling bertaut, meski tahu bayang-bayang dosa mengintai tak jauh dari sana. ini salah, mereka paham. tetapi ini juga terasa begitu ... pas. seperti dua keping puzzle yang cocok sudut-sudutnya. meski berasal dari dua kotak yang berbeda.

“satu tahun.” sunghoon memulai. ada nada menuduh yang melekat pada suaranya, dan heeseung mengeratkan genggaman jari-jemarinya. “senang jauh dariku?”

heeseung menarik napas, lantas memejamkan mata. “sedikit.”

sunghoon menelengkan kepala. “lihat patung liberty?”

“iya.”

“kadang-kadang, ingin ikut juga. berdua. kita bisa makan malam di rumah makan lokal setelahnya.”

“itu,” heeseung berdeham. dia menahan diri dari meneriaki telinga anak itu dengan fakta yang akan menyakiti mereka berdua. kau sudah punya istri. “adalah sebuah ketidakmungkinan.”

sunghoon berdengung menyetujui. “mungkin di kehidupan selanjutnya.”

heeseung mengerjapkan mata, lantas menepis angannya jauh-jauh. meski tak disuarakan, dalam diamnya dia menyetujui. sebab di kehidupan ini semesta menentang dengan segala upaya, maka harap dia rajut untuk kali berikutnya. lamat, dia tatap helai anak rambut yang menghias dahi sunghoon acak-acakan. sayang, dia singkirkan sejumput dengan jari tangan. dia tahu dia akan begitu merindukan rutinitas kecil yang satu ini. meski demikian, dia telan juga pahitnya sakit hati.

“kehidupan selanjutnya.”

pada suatu masa, ketika dia pulang dari sekolah dengan koleksi luka baru pada sudut lututnya, yunho menemuinya di depan pagar. satu alisnya terangkat naik, sebab sepedanya telah kehilangan satu komponen utama. wooyoung terjatuh, dalam usahanya melarikan diri demi menghindari amuk anjing-anjing liar di taman. pemuda itu tertawa kecil, lantas menawarkan plester luka bermotif katak. yunho membiarkannya menyingkir, selagi jemari tangannya mulai memeriksa rantai sepeda.

takut-takut, wooyoung melempar tanya. “apakah parah?”

“lumayan.”

mencelus, dahi wooyoung penuh dengan kerut-merut. “ayahku akan mengamuk kalau tahu.”

yunho tersenyum. sebelah tangannya mengibas, pertanda tak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan. “tidak ada yang tidak bisa diperbaiki.”

sungguh keping ingatan yang aneh, wooyoung merasa. dia mengingat perasaan lega yang membanjiri setiap senti dari kulitnya, ketika yunho selesai dengan bengkel dadakannya. sepedanya, dapat melaju kembali tanpa kendala. yunho dan keahliannya, memang tak patut disepelekan.

menekuk lutut, wooyoung berjongkok di depan keping pecahan pot bunga. baru saja terjadi; tak sengaja tertendang, ketika dia hendak masuk ke dalam rumah. ukurannya yang kecil, serta fokusnya yang tak kunjung kembali, ialah penyebab utama untuk disalahkan. merenung, dia menyentuh ujung-ujungnya dengan jari-jemari.

𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘬𝘪, tak urung melintas kembali dalam memori. sebab entah untuk urusan apa, benang-benang kusutnya mulai terurai ringan lagi. meski tak pernah pula harapnya naik untuk yang demikian. karena kelindan derita akibat kehilangan, telah dia relakan untuk terbenam dalam-dalam. jauh, jauh di belakang hari.

retakan pot-pot bunga, dia perhatikan lamat-lamat. barangkali, keadaannya memang serupa. 𝘪𝘺𝘢, pikirnya nelangsa, 𝘬𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪 𝘧𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘩𝘸𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘬 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘪.

mungkin kamu pernah bertanya-tanya, setelah minggu-minggu tenang lepas amuk ibunda, ke mana raga ini berkelana menyusur sepi; sebab jarak telah tercipta, ketika kata 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢 sudah tidak lagi ada. ketahuilah, pada ambang jendela, aku menopang dagu dan menghitung waktu-waktu. sebab setelah ketiadaan yang dipaksakan, kupikir aku memang sempat hilang ditelan renungan. memikirkan mengapa, lantas menyalahkan semesta dan seisinya. karena 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢, tak lagi punya makna.

tahukah kamu? bahwa jendela kamarku sengaja dibangun menghadap arah barat. mulanya, dimaksudkan untuk rona-rona jingga menelusup masuk dengan mudah, ketika tiba waktunya pulang tenggelam. ibunda tahu kesukaanku, dan memastikan aku menyaksikan setiap momennya. ini, agak lucu sebetulnya. sebab beliau tidak pernah tahu kita memang punya sejarah di depan senja pada masa yang lalu; ketika kamu baru mulai memetakan jejak pada permukaan hatiku.

pun, tak perlu tahu juga kalau kamu masih berenang-renang di dalam benak setiap kali kupandang-pandang bunga-bunga di sore hari. sebab sejenak, aku merasa memenangkan waktu; masih merasa memiliki kamu yang hadir dalam ragam memori di kepala, ketika petang hampir tiba.

karena matahari terbenam, masihlah milik 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢.

“you are sick,” yeonjun whispers.

giggling his best with a sore throat, wooyoung nods. “yes, i'm aware.”

yeonjun hums, and huddles closer. his big, big left hand, lands on wooyoung's forehead. “the date is cancelled,” he announces with so little regret, before placing a soft peck onto said sick boy's cheek.

“but.”

“i'm afraid today i have to put up a rule where there are no buts here.”

wooyoung pouts a little. “so mean.”

“oh,” yeonjun raises his eyebrow, “but how do you think about me cooking you warm chicken soup and giving you cuddle right after?”

wooyoung pretends to think. there's mischief that swims freely in his droppy eyes. he still look so adorable, even when his facade is fighting it off at the moment. “um, still sounds bad.”

yeonjun laughs, and nuzzles deeper into wooyoung's neck. fishing a high pitched laugh out of wooyoung's mouth. it sounds strange, with the change of voice latched tightly there. but that does tell yeonjun something; his baby's quite alright. and after a quick nap and some medicines later, wooyoung will be back bouncing again soon.

“alright,” yeonjun quips in, “i will give my big baby tons of kisses. do i get a deal here?”

and that, gets him a full smile that stretched far from end to end. because wooyoung's beaming, as the boy sneaks an arm around his torso to hug him a little tighter.

“it's a deal!”

𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖, 3.06 pm.

𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙚.

“nya,”

“yeah?”

“lo ngerasa dingin banget nggak sih?”

“enggak.”

a lie.

and they both knows that. for the way his fingers shakes violently against the seam of the blanket. 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 blanket. one thing he had learnt since he was still a little toddler; the perks of being born and live in poverty, you never have enough to keep yourself warm. 𝘣𝘶𝘵, he reasons quietly, they have the blanket. the big worn out blue colored one. with a little hole just perfect in the middle. because grandmother likes the white fluffy one, and he gotta be grateful enough she even spared him another.

“kaki lo dingin banget, bangsat.”

he rolls his eyes, and smacks baladika's upper arm. the older whines, and huddles even closer. strangely, he feels warmer already.

“siapa yang tadi maksa nginep di rumah gue?”

“rumah nenek lo.”

“iya,” he hisses annoyedly.

“siapa yang tadi maksa nginep di 𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘬 𝘨𝘶𝘦?”

he hears a soft huff, and he laughs as he can imagine the way baladika is pouting right now. 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦, he muses. but he can't risk a glance, or his heart will suffer another heartbreak.

“gue.” baladika murmurs quietly.

“mmhm.”

“makanya sini deketan.”

“males, ah.”

“dih. jangan kayak orang marahan lah, nya.”

“bang, ini kita beneran udah nggak ada jarak, anjing.”

“ini lo pura-pura bego apa gimana?”

he chooses to say nothing. because the fear is there; of blurting out things he is not prepared. it's a little unfair, how baladika acts around, knowing the way he wears his heart on his sleeve. and a little stupid too, how he build his resolve every morning, only to get it all washed away at the end of the day. no matter how hard he try, the sun of his life will always manage to pull him back. almost like a home. unless baladika is not his home. 𝘺𝘦𝘵.

because baladika, will always be the sun. and he can act like a mere sunflower. loving the bright star just by hiding behind the shadow. following him around, hoping to give the universe something, when all these times, it's baladika who always rain him with everything. how do you compete with a love so big it slowly ruins him, anyway?

“nya, lo mikirin apa?”

he sighs.

“mikirin dunia.”

“dunia nggak mikirin lo, nya.”

𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺.

“tangan lo dingin, nya.”

he smiles at the ceiling. there are pretty little dots littering around, and he wonders when will his grandfather let him paint his room new.

“biasanya juga begini.”

“biasanya gue gandeng.”

“malem ini libur dulu, bang.”

but then again, when will baladika ever listen to his saying? the answer is a big bright never. it's kind of funny, how he lets the older man slips his fingers around his own; filling the empty space like they were meant to be. like they were some kind of a lock, with the destined key.

he takes a deep breathe, and lets his heart decide. baladika is humming a random tone, now. it sounds okay, and he blinks away his fears.

“tangan lo juga dingin, bang.”

baladika simply hums. “iya, makanya gue pegang punya lo.”

he laughs, and squeezes their intertwined hands. for this 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 once, he will close his eyes, and let his love be heard and be seen properly. tonight, openly he lays his heart out, all clear for the boy of his dream to map out for free.

for the record, wooyoung always thought of san as the sun in his life; the way the boy's eyes would sparkle like the god of light and anything bright had personally carved them themselves. they're so pretty. and san, undeniably, is also so pretty.

therefore, it was understandable to witness how quick he let the seed of his love bloomed quickly in his heart. because in every one smile he received from choi san, wooyoung used it as a fertilizer to grow the various flowers he had. just like how he tend the plants on their window everyday. with so much care, that he did not realize the thorns it brought upon his life.

“how are you today, young-ah?”

starstruck, he would answer, “perfect,” everytime.

the first thorn, pierced through his chest when he received rejection over his clumsy confession. for choi san never saw him as more than a mere roommate, and he left their flat all brokenhearted. it was hurt, indeed. and yet, the flowers stayed with their petals. such a comforting presence, if not for the wound it started to make.

“san, san, breakfast together?”

“oh, can't do today. i already have a plan. sorry.”

that was the second thorn; born from another refusal. he realized with heavy heart, that a red rose was starting to fill every room of his chest. it stung every pieces of his love, and yet, he let them reside with peace. because he deemed himself as a good guy, and a good guy would never pluck a young flower from it's throne before the big day.

so, by the time a fully bloomed red rose sat quietly inside, wooyoung already lost the count of every heartbreak he experienced. there were so much, and there were also none. for his big, big and stupid heart was a gentle one; nursing every scratch with utmost attention.

but even then, a flower can only hold on for some time alone.

because on the day san asked someone else to be his until his hair turn grey, wooyoung also realized two things; that there was tiny happiness swimming in his eyes, that quickly changed into another greatest pain just in under three seconds. that he was genuinely happy because the boy had found his own, and yet also angry because it was not him that got so lucky to hold his hand.

𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴, was the time wooyoung needed to feel the dying phase of his flowers inside his ribcage had begun painfully.

𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴, he needed only three seconds to understand he never stood a chance against the beauty that is choi san's love of his life since the very beginning.

i have tried, to recall about things i have said, and i have not said. i have tried to take a dive, deep down inside. to take a look, and find any lingering regrets. knowing that i still haven't got my closure even after months. even after times i wasted just to desperately hear those words. because in the middle of figuring it out, i have came to my senses; that just like me, you must have unsaid words as well. the ones you kept hidden for personal purposes.

and maybe, just maybe, that's the closure for both of us.

𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙞𝙧𝙚, 10.10 pm.

𝙙𝙞𝙯𝙯𝙮.

“san,” wooyoung whines into san's neck. “i'm dizzy.”

“i know,” san says patiently, as he hoists the boy up higher on his back. “who told you it's okay to get drunk tonight?”

it's pretty funny how he can feel the way wooyoung pouts into his nape.

“no one,” wooyoung answers sulkily.

san hums and resumes his walk. it's not far, really. but with a big baby on his back, the journey can get a little difficult sometimes. and yet, he doesn't hate every minutes of it.

“i love you!” wooyoung announces suddenly. “i genuinely think we should date or something.”

san giggles. “are you okay, wooyoung-ah?”

“yes,” wooyoung nods. he sounds so proud that san's heart swells with pride. “i'm dizzy and in my dizziness, i think i found out that i really, really love you.”

san snorts.

“i'm serious.”

“oh, baby,” san sighs fondly. “i know you are serious.”

“but you snorted!”

“that,” san clears his throat, “is because we are dating already.”

there's pause, and san thinks wooyoung's already fall asleep. but boy, the drunk baby's merely using the silence to nuzzle into his neck even deeper.

“really?”

san nods. “yep, really.”

“wow.”

“why?”

“wow i'm dating you.”

“uh-uh.”

it's getting ridiculous, but he always love to entertain a drunk wooyoung. because drunk wooyoung gets so soft and adorable. and he can dote on him fully this way. but then again, he always love every bits of wooyoung.

“wow, you're dating me.”

“correct.”

giggling into his neck, wooyoung mumbles sleepily. “so, when are we gonna get married?”

the question, pulls a string within his heart. he thinks about the small velvety box he hides just beneath the drawer. a small ring hidden inside, waiting to get opened when he already gathered his courage later. not today, maybe. but soon.

“wooyoung-ah,” san sighs finally, “i think i'm dizzy.”

𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖, 12.34 pm.

𝙨𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.

“beradu pedang.”

yunho, melirik lamat. sebab perkara hal-hal menarik yang tak khalayak pikirkan, kadang-kadang memang mampir dalam benak yang lebih muda. maka, dia coba menerka apa artinya. bahkan ketika wooyoung telah bermigrasi dan sedang bergumul dengan ritsleting celana.

“yunho,” wooyoung memaksa meraih atensinya tak sabar.

“apa?”

“buka celanamu.”

“untuk apa, sayang?”

“pedang,” wooyoung berbisik-bisik. “mari bermain pedang.”

yunho tidak mengerti, namun tidak membantah juga. dari posisinya berbaring santai, dia perhatikan bagaimana kekasih kecilnya beraksi dengan jemari. bertingkah, dengan berbagai laku yang membuat dahinya berkerut. bermula dari elus-elus pemancing lenguh, hingga genggam yang menggelincirkan kewarasannya masuk ke dalam jurang.

𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨, samar-samar, di tengah gelombang berahi yang mengisi kepalanya dengan riak ombak tak terkendali, yunho akhirnya memahami maksudnya. sebab ketika dia menilik dari balik sudut mata yang menyipit, mulut yang terkasih telah melingkupi kepala kemaluannya dengan lihainya. memang pandai, yunho mengakui. diam-diam, terselip pula rasa bangga sebab memiliki bocah itu.

“oh,” katanya pasrah; setengah mendesah, setengah pula merasa resah.

𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖, 9.46 am.

𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙛𝙩.

“well.” jongho started. “this is unexpected.”

because sitting in front of him in the middle of the hexagram filled with sigils he drew hours ago, was a pretty demon with equally pretty red horns. said entity introduced himself as wooyoung, and jongho thought he fell in love a little. for a self claimed high leveled witch, he's such weak ass, indeed.

“me?” wooyoung whispered. his honey-like voice, slipped through his mind like a fine wine. and jongho found himself getting drawn closer easily. as if he wanted to take a taste out of the demon skin, and probably spend the rest of his life drowning in it.

blinking dazedly, jongho glanced towards his poorly made hexagram, and realized he drew one of the sigils wrong. 𝘯𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳, he thought. because the one coming 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 was an incubus, and not the high leveled demon he was aiming for. so, he quickly gulped down his disappointment and shaked his head out of the fuzzy fog blanketing his head. “yeah.”

𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴, his mind supplied. and yet, as the sweet smell of lust flooding his nostrils, he found himself does not care. because he sat still, as if he was waiting for the storm to pull him inside with open arms. but then again, maybe he really was.

“how come?” wooyoung asked softly. the demon's crawling closer towards where he sat with trembling hands. the demon's eyes were half lidded; inviting him to take a dive in. possibly to get him fall into his charm, and jongho thought wooyoung did not have to try that hard. because the sight of his toned pectoral, was enough to get jongho drunk with newfound desire.

𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴' 𝘴𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯?

“i don't know.” jongho admitted. he held his breath when wooyoung found himself a throne; in the form of his thick thighs, and claimed his seat there. “i did not check it again.”

“oh,” wooyoung said. his hand traveled upwards, and played with the growing bulge that was jongho's traitorous dick. “i guess i have a clumsy baby here.”

jongho said nothing. too busy getting himself trapped in the blue ocean that is wooyoung's eyes. calling him in like a deadly siren sitting on a cliff, upon witnessing lost pirates sailing over. maybe 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 people 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 with 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴. because ten minutes in, and he already got drowned far deeper than he ever felt. and yet, he found no regret as his blood danced to the hum wooyoung sang against his ear.

it was such an amusing sight; the way he groaned as he felt his soul left his body the moment wooyoung cupped him through his black trousers. skillful fingers worked him up, as if he was nothing but a plaything. but in front of wooyoung, he suspected maybe he really was one. because for fuck sake―wooyoung's lips were barely kissing his neck, and for the love of anything nice, that already felt heavenly. what if they moved fast forward? probably he would think he died already.

and somehow, that thought 𝘴𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘶𝘱 a little.

“holy shit, wait,” jongho whisper-yelled.

wooyoung pulled away, and tilted his head. there's amusement dancing across his gorgeous orbs. his hand never once stopping in stroking; riling jongho up bit by bit, until the young witch found himself getting frustrated, and slightly panicked. because how could a hellborn look so innocent playing with his clothed dick beneath his hand like 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?

“huh?”

“no,” jongho panicked even further when wooyoung's motion against his crotch fastened, and felt the incubus' hand move to get his belt out of the way. “wait.”

wooyoung frowned, but stopped playing with jongho's belt. he sat still atop of his thighs, and waited patiently. for an incubus, he's surely such an anomaly.

“i thought my charm worked well on you?”

jongho grimaced, and took a deep breath. because if anything, his raging boner should tell the incubus more than his verbal response ever could. the incubus had been holding and playing with it for ... minutes? hours? honestly he did not even know anymore.

“it worked,” jongho said, and dared himself to reach around and rest his palms across the demon's jiggly ass. they felt nice, and he moaned at the thought of marking them up with his hands. “i can assure you.”

“i'm hungry.” wooyoung said flatly. and instead of going back to touch his dick, wooyoung leaned in to press open mouthed kisses along jongho's jaw. “or do you prefer to get fucked instead? i don't mind either way.”

jongho stared dumbly. “no,” he mumbled. suddenly feeling all shy, and too exposed. “i'm. i'm a virgin?”

wooyoung's lips stopped just beneath jongho's ear, and whispered his words against the skin. “you're cute.” wooyoung quipped helpfully. “but can you stay still, please?”

“wait,” jongho let out stressed sound. because the demon started to fumble with his belt, and freed his dick out of it's cage. “wooyoung―”

“oh,” wooyoung giggled. his pretty fingers were wrapping around jongho' shaft loosely, as he stared at it with so much wonder in his eyes. “your dick is even cuter.”

“wooyoung―”

but the demon had stopped listening. because wooyoung went on his knees; like he was about to pray to the 𝘨𝘰𝘥, thanking 𝘩𝘪𝘮 for the hearty meal he faced. jongho groaned, and felt himself growing even harder at the sight. because wooyoung, had leaned in and nuzzle against the length; feeling how his dick throbbed, and wooyoung kissed it like a champ.

“how do japanese people say it again?”

“woo―”

“itadakimasu!”

jongho thought heaven really was so close. because the sight that greeted his eyes, was nothing like the usual he witnessed on daily basis. because down there, wooyoung engulfed his dick like he would suck on his lollipop; lips stretched wide, with teary eyes. because the heat that surrounded his dick's the best he ever tasted. because when wooyoung hollowed his cheeks and sucked him dry, he thought of kami-sama, and thanked the deities above sincerely. because when wooyoung swallowed, he saw stars and moaned deep.

“fuck.”

and oh, how he thought he would draw the sigils wrong once again.
