Harith x Harley one shots

Babysitting (3)

"I beg your pardon?"

Harley blinked twice– no, three times, to make sure he wasn't high.

Harith smiled as he understood the shock of the younger male. It was a bit off in someone else's point-of-view if somebody asks you to stay in for the night right out the blue.

The answer is simple.

"It's dark out and you haven't had dinner. Of course, it's only right for me to invite you to eat and stay for your own safety. You know, as my guest?"

Harith smirked, looking down on Harley as he was silenced by Harith's logically lame-ass readable excuse for him to stay. Yet somehow, Harley's too oblivious to read between the lines. Harith couldn't help but internally laugh and ponder about what's going on inside Harley's mind.

"But... if you don't like the idea then I can give you a ride home after eating dinner. You can't deny eating dinner. That's an order."

Luh, demanding ka? Ano ako, alipin mo? Sunod-sunuran lang? Sino ka ba? Ano ba gusto mo? at gagawin ko hihi.

Harley bit his lower lip trying to suppress the smile he had been itching to show.

"K, fine. I'll eat here then I'll have a ride home."

Harith gave a pleased smile, his eyes dawned with a sparkle as he stare into the depths of Harley's dazzling emerald green eyes. Both were trapped within the spell of affection. Only then were they able to escape their magnetic gaze when the twins decided to intervene their luscious moment.

"Why are you two standing there? What are you? Stop signs in the middle of the road?"

Niel snorted while Clairo stood proudly of his words.

"Ew, heart eyes si kuya!"

"Haha! Nababakla si kuya!"

Harley didn't mind such words covet by children, he even finds it funny that the twins have a similar sassy attitude like their one older brother, you know who. On the other note, Harith wasn't any near gleeful by the twins. He may not show it, but Harith has actually been having a hard time to maintain his usual maximize patience ever since the twins grew up to this point, the annoying-spoiled-toddler phase. And those two last lines were what triggered Harith's rage meter.

"Clairo, Niel! nakakatuwa 'yon? Harley's in front of you and that's how you act? Pinapahiya niyo kuya niyo!"

The shaken fear labeled on the state of the twins.

Just now, it dawned on Harley as to why they actually needed a babysitter. However, the reason of such is due to an unfortunate relationship between the older and younger siblings.

"Harith, it's fine. They're kids after all, it's normal for them to portray how they act without proper guidance and they still lack emotional intelligence. They just need a good role-model to look up to." Harley's voice and words were like a lullaby to Harith's rage. From the soothing tone to the knowledgeable words that lured him to his soft side.

"Sorry, it's just... pissing me off. The twins have been acting high and spoiled since they've grown... Dealing with them became exhausting, we couldn't even do something about it since neither our parents ever bat an eye or an attitude on them. That's why none of us have the luxury to come home."
