Young master Cale has a lover?!

CH 21

"You're.. old."

Davian said out of the blue plopping down on the swing bed, beside the red head. (He had them teleported on a balcony somewhere...)

Cale raised an eyebrow at that, his eyes flickering from the night scenery of the exotic city to the man beside him.

The view was good at least, he would give that to the mage. Tiny white houses and buildings with green roofs, lots of tall and strong trees sparely around the city. It glittered with tiny lamps and candles everywhere. They were at some coast judging from the deep sea they could see ahead at the ends of the city.

"What makes you say that?"

A hint of annoyance creeping in his tone, not that he bothered to hide it from the apparently ✨YoUnGeR✨ man.

"You lived longer than me, obviously that makes you the old one."

He said that as if it was obvious, his pale fingers twirling a lock of his hair. Cale felt himself frown subconsciously.

'Too pale..'

"Then you should be respecting your seniors, didn't anyone teach you that?"

The red head shot back without missing a beat, a sassy eye roll (which was usually Davian's signature) leaving him, it didn't hold any real heat though.

Davian sighed exaggeratedly, waving his hand dismissively in a dramatic shooing gesture.

"Ahh Ajusshi, die quietly in a corner yeah."

'This punk--'

But before Cale could grill him verbally, Davian suddenly shot up straight.

"Wait no-- don't die please, I was just joking, that will make me old by default, we can't have that.. also you're too pretty to die this early, you should really cease your suicide attempts and that hero complex."

That earned him a light slap on the back of his head from the red head.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not suicidal and I don't have a hero complex either."

"..." (Is this man serious right now?)

Davian blinked out of his disbelieved silence as Cale continued.

"Also that's no way to talk to your elders, Team Leader-nim taught you better than that"

"Ei, why are you dragging the big boss into this, is it because i'm his first stray or something?"

"Not stray, hazard--"

"Oh c'mon.. you're just being mean now, i'm a very well behaved person."

"Well mannered from where?"

"All sides, you just have a veeery old mentality, 38 years of wisdom"

Davian emphasised the age and wisdom with a sweet smile, earning an annoyed glare before he was pushed off the building (prankless dangers) to which Davian just floated because ✨MaGe✨

"Oh my gawd, such show of affection." 
Apparently he didn't learn his lesson, a burst of laughter left him as he was levelled with yet another glare from those reddish brown eyes, as a peace offering he manifested a pastry (plated, lots of sprinkles... and diabetes). Mango one because he was feeling exotic.

"Aye.. don't be mad now, I was just jesting, you know you're young and handsome and.. not suicidal"

He said flattering him, Cale just cringed at that.. but allowed him to return back to his place beside him.

"You talk too much."

The red head commented after a sigh, taking a forkful of the dessert, it melted in his mouth. The sweetness wasn't too strong, but rather balanced.

"Do I? I thought I talk very little."

Davian responded, his little sugarless (he's naturally high, he need no sugar) frenzy calming slightly as he looked at the dark starry sky.. it was heaven ditching work to come out and play. The breeze was neither hot nor cold, not that it stopped them from snuggling under the throw blankets.

 After a while of silence, Davian turned his head to the side, only to find his Ajusshi asleep (Cale was living it up to it at this point). The amount of hours that man slept was really concerning, but Davian couldn't find it in himself to disturb him either.

The mage stared at him for a long period, his mismatched eyes weary from the lack of sleep softening, a hand reached out to brush away the red strands from his eyes.

"... dense bastard.."

Ps. Davian had the decency to teleport Cale back to the mansion and tucking him in the bed (mostly because he sensed Ron's aura from km away) and disappearing off to who knows where.
