GUARDIAN DEMON | BL ✔

CHAPTER 60

The mumble of the news broadcast radiated from the holographic screen hovering above the coffee table positioned in the center of the arrangement of sofas and chairs in the common room. The kitchen and bar being in a space connected to the common area, the morning news could be heard clearly as Denzyl prepared breakfast for the sleepy human who had just walked into the common area. Devyn released a yawn that was held as the cutest thing in the universe by the man that turned from the skillet to watch his love meander to the bar with drooping eyes.

"Good morning," the demon greeted sweetly.

"Morning," Devyn returned with a smile as he walked around the bar and wrapped his arms around the demon's waist. The human let out a long breath and basked in his love's embrace. "You got up early today," Devyn mumbled into Denzyl's shirt as the demon held him lovingly.

"Mm, I didn't want to wake you," Denzyl returned sweetly.

"I don't mind waking up early if it's with you," Devyn responded before snuggling into the demon even more to hide the flush that had rushed to his cheeks. Denzyl's lips curled into a smile as he looked down at the man buried into his chest. Denzyl brought his hand up to Devyn's head and began to run his fingers through the human's soft brown hair. "Would you not rather wake up to a hot meal?" The demon inquired as he continued to pamper the man in his arms.

"Well..." Devyn lifted his head to look up at the demon; the two males' chest remained flushed together. "You're the hottest meal, so..." The human could not bring himself to finish his sentence and resorted to burying himself back into the demon's chest. Denzyl's brows raised at the human's answer. He had not expected Devyn to respond in such a way, but it was delightful nonetheless. The demon smirked as an idea came to his head. "Well then, would you like some of this hot meal after break-"

"Denzyl, it's burning!" Devyn's eyes widened when he heard the demon's attempted inquiry. The human took advantage of the demon turning to check on the perfectly toasted slices of bread to slip away and retreat to the safety of the refrigerator. Denzyl's tongue found itself poking the inside of his cheek as he looked down at the not-burnt food before turning to see Devyn scurry to the cabinet after retrieving a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Devyn could feel the demon's eyes on him as he set the pitcher of juice on the counter. The human cleared his throat in attempt to disappeared the heat that was stationed in his face as he reached up to grab a cup only for a sudden warmth to appear behind him. "Did you think you could fool me?" Denzyl's deep voice caused Devyn to freeze in his place. The human resumed reaching for a cup as he answered, "It worked for a second or two."

Hands around Devyn's waist spun the human to face the demon as Denzyl leaned down to be a breath away. Devyn was awestruck by the man in front of him. Denzyl had leaned forward to rest his hands on the counter behind Devyn, affectively blocking the human's escape route. His crimson hair hung in front of his stormy eyes that were gazing down on the human with a heated love. Devyn swallowed when he saw the look in Denzyl's eyes. The demon's eyes flit down to the human's luscious lips as he said, "You haven't answered my question."

"Y-y-you didn't really finish the question, so-" Devyn's sentence was cut short when Denzyl wrapped an arm around the human's waist and pulled him into his body. "Shall I finish it for you, then?" Denzyl's voice was low, and Devyn's heart raced at his words. "That-that's not really necessary. I kinda got the gist," Devyn responded. The human was not aware that for the entirety of his and Denzyl's interaction, he could not take his eyes away from the man leaning toward him. Devyn was completely and utterly mesmerized by Denzyl, and Denzyl knew it. So, without further ado, Denzyl held Devyn's chin to steady the man before placing his lips over Devyn's in a sweet kiss. The human immediately melted into the demon's kiss and happily allowed Denzyl to taste him, his eyes fluttering closed when Denzyl wrapped his arms around the human's waist.
