Usurp (Thawin/Liftoil) - The dark side of you

Author's note: Part 20/??

Liftoil woke up well-rested. The warmth of the body beside him was calming and way too familiar. He opened his eyes, finding Thawing still asleep. His face was strangely calm. All the tension and frowning disappeared, and Liftoil couldn't stop thinking about how he looked even more handsome without the cold expression. Often, the older man appeared as if the right to happiness had been usurped from him, leaving only sadness behind. Liftoil didn't like it. He wanted Thawin to be happy, preferably with him. 

"Already up, my Oil?" Thawin's deep voice startled him. His neighbour opened his eyes, glancing at him. Liftoil blinked a few times, trying to process when Thawin woke up. 

"I woke up an hour ago." The answer startled him. Did Thawin know how to read minds? Liftoil shivered at the idea. The older male pulled him closer, sniffing the top of his head. 

"Time to get up and study." He whispered. Liftoil groaned in annoyance. Thawin's embrace felt so nice, he didn't want to leave it yet.

"If you do well, I will cook for you." His neighbour coaxed him out of bed, and although it sounded tempting, Liftoil preferred to stay plastered to the older man's side. 

"I assume you don't want the reward I prepared for you." Thawin's voice lowered an octave, revealing his disappointment. Liftoil perked up, interested in the mentioned reward.

"Reward?" He eyed the older male. Thawin nodded with a smirk as he noticed that Liftoil was now interested in studying.
