The Scent of Your Blood

Chapter 52

Light filled the room and Hongjoong opened his eyes but shut them again at the brightness shining through the doors as he rolled over onto his side. He sat up a few minutes later and squeezed his eyes shut, a hand going to his aching head.

"Well, well, well, look who's finally awake," Seonghwa grinned as he walked out of the bathroom wearing only his pyjama pants that hung low on his hips. Hongjoong looked over and his face flushed a little.

"What time is it?" He ran a hand through his hair as he looked over at the balcony doors. Seonghwa walked over to the bedside table and grabbed his phone.

"12:01 p.m."

His boyfriend fell back with a groan and he smiled.

"Why didn't you wake me?" He asked and Seonghwa crawled onto the bed, hovering over Hongjoong. "It looked like you needed the sleep after last night," he grinned and leaned down to peck him on the lips. The mortal's face heated up, a light pink dusting his cheeks.

"You're very cheeky when you're drunk, angel," the demon snickered and Hongjoong gently slapped him on the chest. He pulled the blanket over his head and sighed. "We should do something instead of staying indoors," Seonghwa said and pulled the covers down to reveal the other's face.

"My head hurts," he whined and laid back down.

"Well, that's what happens when you drink a lot and don't have water," he smirked. "I'll get you some strong Panadol." He went back into the bathroom and looked through the cupboards underneath the sink.

"Well, I forgot to drink water because we were busy fucking!" Hongjoong shouted and Seonghwa burst out laughing.

Hongjoong had fallen back asleep after taking the Panadol and woke up almost an hour later.

"How are you feeling?" Seonghwa asked as he sat on the bed next to the other and smiled.

"Better. The headache has gone away," he said, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"We should go get breakfast, well, lunch, since we missed breakfast," the demon stood up and walked over to the suitcases. Hongjoong sat up and eyed the demon. "Have you had a shower?" He asked and Seonghwa pulled out clothes to wear.

"No, not yet," he turned to look at the other and grinned. "Why do you ask?" Hongjoong became shy and gripped the blankets.

"Well, could we shower together?" He tilted his head to the side and the demon chuckled as he made his way to the bathroom.

"Come on."

Hongjoong threw the blankets off and walked over to his suitcase then went over to the bathroom, the door shutting.

———

Hongjoong stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom looking at himself, well, more at the outfit he had chosen to wear. Seonghwa walked over towards the bathroom but stopped when he saw the other. Grinning, he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the doorframe.

"You look gorgeous," he said and Hongjoong glanced at him then looked back at himself, his cheeks going a faint pink.

"Thanks, but, I don't know if I'm gonna wear this," he played with the bottom of the black dress and looked down. Seonghwa moved closer and stood behind him.

"I'm gonna go put on a shirt and jeans," as he went to leave the bathroom, the demon gently grabbed his arm and spun him around, pushing him against the counter. He grabbed his hip and Hongjoong gripped his forearm.

"Don't change, you look fine..." He looked at the other from head to toe and grinned. "Absolutely stunning," he whispered and Hongjoong blushed.

"What if people judge me? What if they make fun of me? Because I look like a man that's wearing a dress," he frowned and looked down.
