Beneath The Moonlight

Chapter 5

A warm feeling and so comfortable. Doesn't this just bring some deja vu? The soft cushions just beneath his body, personally, I wouldn't want to wake up. As his eyes slowly open, inside a room as he rubs his eyes. Confused with where he is, it really unlocks a lot of memories.

Moving off the bed, the scars that were before injured has been patched up. His legs hurting less that could wall around with no pain. His hand that was once broken was treated with care. Where is he exactly and who rescued him?

Approaching the door cautiously, could this be a trap? His hand touches the door handle and without hesitating, opens the door. "Oh, are you awake already?" A soft and familiar voice, of someone he misses deeply. Without noticing it, he wiped his eyes.

Opening yet again, it turns out to be another person. "It must be a hallucination..." He disappointedly thought. A man with a taller body than he has, very tall. Observing him, Jun guesses that his height would be around 6 foot tall. He was extremely jealous while standing there with his 5'5 body.

But with this situation, this might be a kidnapping. "Hey who are you and why am I here?" Jun asked with a child-like tone yet annoyed tone. A hand reached out and pinched Jun's cheek. "That's not how you talk to older people kid." He smirked.

While being flustered, there was no way to attack. Not because the man is dangerous, Jun simply feels intimidated with his height. Though he had a feeling that the man wouldn't be a bad person.

Still being confused with his current location, the man introduced himself as "Dhames Woodson". A 25 year old normal person with the lack of adult behavior. With the age difference of 10 years, this made Jun even more intimidated. "Well it would be very helpful if you tell me where I am because clearly I wouldn't like being ki-" a stomach grumbles.

Standing there, Jun suddenly bursts red. Giggling quietly, Dhames doesn't want to embarrass Jun any more. "Well we were planning on just letting you go once you're awake but I guess we couldn't let you go with an empty stomach huh." He laughed. "No need to laugh, I feel embarrassed enough."

Hunger that couldn't be ignored, there was no other option but to accept the offer. Stomping angrily like a feisty cat, he finally asked what happened before he woke up. "Let's just say a young friend of mine rescued you." Dhames explained very shortly without any other explanation.

Arriving on time as the food was just placed. Another tall figure that still couldn't be compared to. "Am I surrounded by giants?" Jun thought. A boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes. The average stereotype for the perfect boy. Though that does not mean personality could be copied.

"This boy right here saved you just yesterday." Dhames explained to Jun. "Oh hey, shortie's awake!" The boy immediately mentioned. Judging from looks, it would be a better idea to not judge a book by its cover. Jun knew it would be the start of an annoying introduction.

A sit beside the table and a bowl filled with food. Secretly excited as the reason is because he wasn't fed nicely before. (In the lab just in case y'all are dumb af). The table flooding with cuisines, was this guy a chef or something?

A set of silverware given to the boy. The free options as of it was an all you can eat buffet. "Don't be shy now and just eat. You won't die or anything." Dhames told Jun. The last sentence made Jun hesistate for a while but as he remembers, it is good manners to accept food as a visitor, "Don't mind if I do."

A spoonful of food. The smell made it even harder to avoid. Though those words still haven't left his head, his stomach couldn't hold on any longer. From what he thought was just a bite turned to be devouring the whole thing. "What the hell, this is seasoned so damn well. It's spicy but well balanced with the savoury cheese. Are you some sort of 3 star michelin chef??!!" He burst out.

The 'chef' laughed and said, "Wow this kid has some humour in him huh! To be praised this much too." Dhames laughed looking at Jun as well. "You forgot to tell him your name." Dhames then pinched the boy. "Ow ow ow, you don't have to do that Sir, though I still have to introduce myself."

Putting his spoon down. He started trying to introduce himself. Though quite hesitant with the mouthful amount of food inside Jun's mouth, it was quite messy. "Ahaha..anyways, my name's Miller Stryfe. 17 years old." "17 years old? I expect him to be much older." Jun thought.

"Well then, yours?" Miller crossed his legs and layed on his chair. Jun briefly introduced himself. One second he would talk like a child, the one second he would talk maturely. "Turning 15 huh? He sure is very young don't you think Sir Dhames?" Miller smirked at Dhames.

"Oh you shut up kid, it ain't my fault I was born earlier." Dhames answered back, pinching Miller's forearm. Apparently 26 is too old now. All laughs, they continued to smack their faces with food.
