The Lords against DJ

DJ in the Moment

Night had progressed into a deeper spell, and the mansion fell quiet under the effect. Loud thunder roared outside in the sky occasionally, while the staff retried to their chamber for the weather suggested cosy cuddles under the covers. The season of soft blankets and hot chocolate was fast approaching, turning the environment into a pleasant period, as it added a noticeable change to the mood. Negative energy spilt out gradually, and a sense of warm comfort replaced the ticking brain. The cold shift also placed a damper on matters, which could result in foul consequences due to the rush in actions, and turned days into more productive than before.

Needless to say, the oddly calming climate affected things positively, as it directed sweaty and hot temperatures towards moderate and eventually cooler tones, and made people snuggle under their duvets.

In all that eerie scenario, however, Lord Yael and his detective were wide awake. Engaged in a task requested by DJ, both of them occupied the grand kitchen in the quiet of the night and worked their way to the desired outcome. And although it was mostly Yael working on the food since DJ accompanied the lord only to sit like a good boy and watch Yael work his magic, still, the energy of the pair contributed to the scene.

Yael's efforts had finally reached their final stage; he handled the request personally and managed the perfect meal from scratch to completion successfully. The appetising steak, sizzling in the pan, filled the kitchen with mouthwatering aroma while tomatoes and asparagus enhanced the delightful taste. Smearing the sauce over the glistening meat, Yael performed his cooking skills like Michelin star while a boy, awestruck and anticipating, witnessed the show with great interest.

DJ stayed calm and silent through the whole process. The boy supported a noticeable blush on his cute cheeks while he waited to be served. Earlier, when Yael offered DJ the adventure of cooking and the younger reciprocated in agreement, DJ didn't expect to be swept off his feet to their destination. He couldn't decipher whether he should feel offended or cared for when he was placed on the countertop like a piece made of glass before he was served a bowl of cherries to munch.

Perplexed is what DJ felt because Yael had done all that without batting an eye; the older stayed like his usual self, unapproachable and serious, yet his demeanour contradicted his acts towards DJ. The younger popped cherries after cherries in his mouth while he sat on the counter, he marvelled at the lord and his manly physique, tied hair and concentrated forehead, his magical hands and long fingers and above all... the pair of dark, daring eyes of Yael that took most of DJ's attention.

Yael's focused gaze erupted tingles in the pit of the younger's stomach, his blush deepened when his betraying eyes travelled to the exposed, veiny arms to the broad back of the lord involuntarily, and he coughed softly, condemning himself for the inappropriate act. DJ only snapped back to reality when he felt Yael's presence beside him, and a plate of steaming steak was placed on the counter.

"Here..." then Yael's heavy voice broke the silence, "Eat it all, don't spare a piece, the lord said, dusting his hands, before he filled a glass of wine for himself. DJ, on the other hand, nodded obediently and grabbed the plate to put it on his lap. Noticing the meat cut into bite sized for him to savour easily, he smiled heartily and looked at the older posing a look of gratitude. The simple act of consideration flipped DJ's heart, made him comfortable, as he stabbed the meat and devoured it in a beat.

Yael, meanwhile, sipped his drink silently; the alcohol in his system supported the zealous thoughts he carried for DJ and helped him to relax and feel the vibe of the moment while he cherished the innocent boy eating with fervour. It was when he felt a tug on his shirt that he regained his focus and looked at DJ.

"Y-You don't w-want?" DJ asked hesitantly, eyes wavering and cheeks ablaze. Yael smiled in return and shook his head. He then nudged his chin at the boy, conveying that he should continue eating. DJ nodded again and followed the unsaid command compliantly. He finished his food skillfully, enjoying every bite of that tender meat Yael had worked hard on.
