"What's that on your neck?"
But before Silas can answer, they hear a lot of noise coming from the living room and someone shouting.
They rush towards the living room and see that the two friends are no longer seated.
They saw Dorian standing behind his chair, hands clenched on the back. Minseok stands before it, angrily looking at Dorian.
"What's up," Silas questioned. "Well, great question. I just asked him something and he got all angry."
"Maybe you should think before you speak, Dorian."
Silas and Jiwon look at each other, confused. "Dorian, what did you do this time?" Silas asks the older one.
"Nothing, really. He's overreacting."
"I'm not overreacting, Dorian."
"Please. You totally are. Don't deny it."
"I. Am. Not," Minseok answers, clenching his teeth.
"Maybe if you tell us what happened we could say if he did," Silas suggests, always in for some tea.
"Well, it's obvious that Minseok was doing something just before we came in, right?"
"Dorian, shut up," Minseok warns him.
"But," Dorian continues, ignoring Minseok's warning. "When I asked him who it was, he didn't want to tell me."
"I have every right to do so."
"When I said I was texting one of our friends, he snatched my phone out of my hand."
"Again, I have rights too, you know? And privacy law is one of those."
"Come on man, you are really overreacting here."
"This doesn't explain why you are in this position though?"
"Well, I said I was gonna look through the apartment, finding this person who's obviously such a great kisser. Since they got Minseok in this state," Dorian explained, turning around to face Silas.
Jiwon quickly looks at the ground. Not only because of the blush that was now spreading across his cheeks, but also afraid that Dorian would see the same things Silas saw.
If he is being so troublesome and getting angry, he obviously doesn't want Dorian to know.
"Then," apparently Dorian isn't done explaining yet. "Then, he got kinda mad. Saying I shouldn't mingle in his business and that it was none of my business what had happened. And when I called him 'too possessive' he got mad and for a second I thought he was going to come back to his proposal to strangle me." Dorian says laughing.
"But he can't tell me it was nothing, because Mr Senseless is clearly showing some feelings for the first time ever."
You could see the anger on Minseok's face blending with embarrassment. And a slight blush was seen on his face. Adorable, Jiwon catches himself thinking.
"Dorian, I have to go buy some stuff for dinner and since you two probably both need to calm down, I think it's better if you leave now. You can come over again whenever you want." Dorian nods with a smile and Silas starts leading him towards the front door.
When the two leave the room, Jiwon looks up in relief. But when he sees Minseok , also still blushing, looking at him, he walks back to the bathroom after an uncomfortable laugh.
Minseok lets himself fall down on the sofa, while Jiwon, in turn, after locking the door, lets himself slide from the door onto the floor.
Hugging his knees, Jiwon is smiling like a fool while resting his face on his knees.
Minseok throws back his head and while looking at the ceiling, he tries to restrain his smile by biting his lip.
And no, he was not smiling because he had a small argument with Dorian or because his annoying friend had finally gone.
He was smiling because Jiwon was looking down, probably because he had realised that Minseok didn't want Dorian to know what had happened between them. He was smiling because of how Jiwon looked when he finally looked up; that near-permanent blush across his cheeks and nose and his red swollen lips and the hickeys that ran down his neck to his jawline. Which he was the cause of.
And last but not least, he was smiling at what had happened in the kitchen.
He had never felt the urge to show affection towards anyone, but because of Jiwon, he had.
He had never wanted anyone's touch, but he had wanted Jiwon's for far too long.
He, who in most people's eyes was insensitive, had never let himself go as far as he went for and because of Jiwon.
He had never given anyone his first kiss...but you know what, not even twenty minutes ago, had happened.
And he had never, never thought that a kiss could make someone feel so good, and still not.
He rubbed his hands over his eyes and stood up. He walks to the hallway and sees Silas get his shoes out of the closet.
"Silas, if you want I can go and do the shopping. I have to leave the house anyway." "Oh, okay. Thank you, Minseok. I'll send you what I need then, okay?" "Okay," and with that, he left the house.
Silas watched his roommate until he had closed the door behind him and was officially gone. "Jiwonnieeeee," he yelled that very moment.
"Come out of your hiding place and let's talk about your oh-so-protective boyfriend," Silas yelled, the smile audible in his voice.
Arms crossed Silas stands in the middle of the hallway, looking at the bathroom and waiting for his best friend to come out.
Jiwon slammed the bathroom door open and threw himself at Silas. After tackling his friend, he is right on top of him. Knees on both sides of Silas and his left hand along with Silas's head, he sits on his friend. Wrapping his right hand around Silas's neck, he says, "He. Is. Not. My. Boyfriend," He growls.
Silas, smirking, also calls up his wolf-eyes. "You have a really strong wolf, Ji. fascinating. You haven't even had your first full moon and already possess this much power and the ability to shift. I wonder where you get this power from," Silas said while calming down his beta.
Once he calmed Jiwon down he let go of his wolf, he no longer needed it. Jiwon lowers his arm from Silas's neck. His hands now on either side of Silas he looks down at his best friend.
"I'm sorry, Si. I...I don't know why I got so angry," and after saying that, he puts his head on Silas's chest. Holding his friend close, Silas begins to stroke his head. "It's okay, Ji. It's...erm...unique to see these sides of yours. Almost delightful." Jiwon looks up at Silas and stands up after slapping his friend on his chest, wiping that smug smile from his face.
Silas stands up slowly and while wiping the dust from his buttocks he says, "I still want to hear everything about your protective boyfriend, though."
