Little King (Seoksoo)

Joshua

"After I gave her the Zofran, she stopped vomiting everywhere, but she did throw her purse at me when I wouldn't let her eat anything yet. We had to move all her belongings out of her reach."

"Well that's a...real lovely report. Thanks, Joshua."

The sarcasm was heavy with this one. "Sorry to pass a rough one onto you."

The nurse on the other end of the line gave an exaggerated sigh. "Just my tragic lot in life. Really, I get it. Luck of the draw. Send her up when you're ready. I'll see if the doctor on call will give her a diet order so she can eat something."

"She'll love you forever," Joshua responded brightly. "Have a good night."

Joshua secured a transporter for his patient, then sat back in his chair with a heavy sigh. He loved his job, but some nights could take it out of a guy. Luckily this night seemed to be slowing down.

It didn't help that he had somewhere else he'd really, really rather be.

Or, someone else he'd rather be with.

His vampire. His...mate?

His vampire mate who'd been treating him like a precious object all day. Joshua had woken up with a warm, wet mouth around his cock. Already a gold star start to the day, in his book.

Seokmin had teased him to the point where he'd been begging to be fucked, but had then insisted—quite evilly—that Joshua would be too sore after the night before. The downsides of a fragile human body, Joshua supposed. Seokmin had swallowed him down instead, driving him to orgasm with hard, furious sucking that had left Joshua reeling.

Then he'd made Joshua breakfast.

Really, a guy could get used to it.

Jeonghan had even joined them for breakfast again, this time uninterrupted by Seungcheol. Joshua hadn't heard from his brother at all since their confrontation the morning before, and he wasn't sure he was ready to yet. He'd been suffering some guilt for the way they'd left things but not as much as he might've thought. After all, it was Seungcheol who had pushed their relationship to this point.

For a slightly unhinged ancient vampire, Jeonghan was a surprisingly pleasant roommate. He even did the dishes after breakfast. Joshua wasn't exactly sure where Seokmin's friend went at night. Hunting for Mingyu? Hunting for blood? Hunting for hookups?

But it was probably for the best Jeonghan hadn't been around to hear the evidence of their extracurricular activities the night before. It was bad enough he might have heard them this morning, but Joshua hadn't exactly been quiet while getting the fucking of a lifetime.

Joshua fought a blush over the thought of it. He also fought down some resentment over being at the hospital instead of back in Seokmin's arms, working to convince the vampire that his fragile human body wasn't too sore for his cock after all.

Joshua had been forced to make do with a disappointingly chaste kiss in the car when Seokmin dropped him off.

Yes, his vampire lover had sent him off to work with a peck on the lips like some sort of absurdly handsome househusband.

Again, a guy could really get used to it.

Except...surely Seokmin wouldn't be satisfied with this kind of routine for long, would he? Hanging around the house, waiting for Joshua to get off work. Accompanying him on visits to the care home, using his magical vampire powers to help an old lady remember her son. Cooking food for the both of them that he didn't even need to eat.

It would grow old fast, right? Just like Joshua would grow old fast.

Let's not go there, brain. Happy thoughts.
