Chapter 13

Devon's Residence

"Dev, are you sure about this?"

Elijah referred to his current position in Devon's arm, while the latter is preparing Elijah's clothes for a sleepover. Elijah mentioned that his place is a few steps away, but Devon was not hearing it.

"You know, you could put me down for a bit. I won't mind," Elijah added with a smile but Devon shook his head and continued to search for a shirt that would fit Elijah.

"Sunshine, I don't mind. I like having you in my arms. Plus, I had lifted things four times your weight," Devon replied like it was not a big deal, and decided on a pastel blue cotton shirt. Devon pulled it from the hanger and handed it to Elijah.

"Really? You're so amazing, Dev. Can you show me next time?" Elijah was brimming with amazement and excitement as he stared at the man with a grin.

"No problem, sunshine. I have a gym on the rooftop. We could go there tomorrow." Devon reached for the unopened boxer shorts that were a size smaller for him.

Having settled with Elijah's clothes, Devon stepped out of the dressing room and into the large bath. Even if Elijah's bathroom was as big as Devon's, he still couldn't get used to such luxury.

"Wow. Your bathroom is so big. It's as big as the apartment I was renting," Elijah shared and swept his eyes around the bath.

Devon's bathroom has a marbled floor with a blue hue. A jacuzzi sits on the rightmost part of the room, big enough for three people. Beside the jacuzzi is the shower area, with a big and wide showerhead installed and two knobs that got Elijah frowning. "That is called a rain sky shower, sunshine," Devon referred to the rectangular, stainless-steel showerhead.

Devon heard Elijah's soft gasp, chuckling softly when Elijah asked him to put the latter down, so he could inspect the knobs. Elijah immediately walked towards the shower area while Devon placed Elijah's clothes in the vanity.

"Be careful, sunshine. Don't push the buttons haphazardly or--"

A loud squeak echoed and Devon snapped his head towards Elijah who was now dripping wet and based on his trembling form, absolutely freezing. Thank goodness he didn't press the button for hot water.

"Dev, it's c-cold. I don't know which button to push for it to stop. Please help," Elijah was able to muster despite his chattering teeth.

Two strides were all it took before Devon had Elijah on his arms, the poor boy pressing his body towards Devon for body warmth.

"I got you, sunshine. I got you," Devon hushed Elijah and pressed buttons for a warm shower. 

"Here you go." Devon put Elijah under the warm shower and brushed the boy's hair softly.

"You can use whatever shower gel you want on the shelf. The towel is in the vanity drawer. Call my attention once you're done, okay?"

Elijah nodded and smiled, feeling so relax and warm. "Thank you, Dev." Lesson learned. Do not push buttons randomly. But there is something about buttons that makes you want to push them.

Devon nodded and left Elijah on his own. He closed the bathroom door and headed to his dressing room. There's another bathroom inside his dressing room, but not as large as the main bath. He had one constructed for emergency purposes.

meanwhile,

Elijah sighed pleasantly when the warm drizzle flowed ever his skin. He removed his clothes and checked the shelf Devon pointed to earlier. There were different brands, and Elijah is not familiar with all of those brands, so he settled on the nice-looking white bottle.
