Yearning for him (boyxboy)

Chapter 19

Present

*~*~*~*~*~*

Mason lifted his head from his knees and noticed it was lunch time. He didn't realize so much time has passed for him to calm down. He got up in search of his son.

While opening the door, he noticed his son snugged against Levi's chest who was busy feeding him by telling some story.

Mason remained standing at the door mesmerized with the way Levi was immersed in telling his story. It seems Levi totally forgot his surroundings as we waved his hands wildly around. Upon closer inspection, Mason found Levi was feeding... Oats?

Really? Even Lenny was silently eating and when Levi stopped feeding, the kid made grabby hands to the oats.

Mason hurried towards them with wide eyes. Coz Levi hates oats...

"What did you make?"

Levi was startled. He noticed Mason standing right in front of them. He narrowed his eyes before saying it was oats with slices of fruits.

"Mumm...mummm." It was Lenny now. He grabbed the spoon from Levi's hands towards his mouth.

Both Mason and Levi looked at the kid in shock. Levi gave a fond kiss on top of his head before feeding rest of the oats.

After finishing the meal, Mason took his son in his arms to clean him up. But Lenny made a huge fuss as he doesn't want to leave Levi. Defeated Mason went ahead to have his lunch. For the first time in two months, he went to get his own lunch. Yet he went with a heavy heart. >.<

Mason wasn't able to find any fault with Levi, both in terms of work as well as taking care of Lenny.

He grew frustrated yet he could do nothing. At the end of the day, he took Lenny home with the promise of bringing him tomorrow as well.

Levi was on cloud nine. He had a wonderful day with the kid. He loves kids and without the presence of his sir, he enjoyed his time well.

With a bounce in his step he headed to his home and thought to check the phone once. He was sure there would be no call or texts as has been the case from the past couple of days. However to his shock, he had a call. And it was from Robert.

Fear took over him just as the shadows captured the night. With clammy hands he fumbled to dial his sir's number. As each ring gone unanswered, his heart picked up its pace and soon it was pounding against its cage.

He missed his sir's call when clearly Robert had told him to pick up on the first ring itself.

By the third trial, the call was finally answered. However there was a single sentence of I am busy before the call got disconnected.

Levi stood motionless with phone still held at his ear. Strong emotions welled up inside him and soon he started sniffling. He buried his face in his knees after crouching near the footpath.

Levi jumped when a car honked at him to move aside. He got up and wiped away the tears with his forearms before trudging towards his house.

With no mind of eating, Levi fell onto his bed and curled up into a fetal position. He drifted into a fitful sleep that was plagued with nightmares.

At around 3'O clock, he woke up screaming to notice that he had wetted the bed. He scrambled away before falling down with a heavy thud. His whimpers grew in pain and fear but he clambered up to stand at the bed post.

Levi wrung his wrists while his eyes flicked from one side to another, possibly searching for an escape route. His mind became frenzied making him unable to distinguish between nightmare and reality.
