Ssuto- Color My World

Chap. 8- Cuddles and Love

"Come on, Seto! I promised to get you cupcakes and I ain't hauling this tray of delicate sweets up seven-hundred floors!" Lilia grumbled as Ian smiled, leaning back on the couch.

Ian decided to stay with Seto and Lilia for a time being, and their house was tall.

Very tall.

The stair case spiraled up and had openings for the floors, an elevator in the middle specially made for Seto. It wasn't the best, but it was temporary if they get his leg fixed, permanent if not.

"Seeeeto!"

"Take the elevator, I'm reading!" Taking the tray, Ian followed Lilia in, hitting the tenth floor button.

The house was fifteen stories, filled to the brim with books. Underneath the staircase was bookshelves, leading down to secret rooms or showing a corridor.

The first two were the living room and kitchen, dining room and a few extra rooms to hold more books.

The third, fourth, and fifth were the bedrooms. The third was the guest bedrooms, fourth was the regular bedrooms, and the fifth floor had the grand bedrooms.

Sixth and seventh were the chemistry lab and potion making, courtesy of Seto. The blind male could still whip up a mean potion from memory and touch.

Eighth, ninth, and tenth floors were the studies, rooms crammed of books with paper and writing.

The last fifth floors were storage or extras, books that couldn't fit. Bathrooms were all around the house, and small wisps and fairies flitted around. The garden outside looked like any ordinary garden at first look, but the plants hid the second layer of plants.

Potion materials, Moon Dew, Poison Ivy Vine, Severed Petal, strange names.

Ian didn't question the names.

"Seto, here you go!" Opening the door, Lilia smiled, setting the tray down. Ian picked one up, gently handing and guiding Seto's fingers. He smiled as the male ate the cupcake, lightly sucking the frosting off.

"Lilia, are you sure the Hrisa Flhrsa plants are alright?"

"Yeah, all of them are fine despite not tending to them for who knows how long." Biting into the cupcake, Seto set it down.

"What's wrong? Do my cupcakes taste weird? Ian and I baked them." Lilia sat down with Seto, the brunet looking down at the floor or the treat.

"It just... reminds me of that day..." His fingers loosened on the cupcake, Ian quickly taking the sweet and setting it on the table.

"Seto, it's alright... Here, I'll make cookies with Ian!" Offering, Seto shrugged, hands now folded on his lap. Quickly going downstairs, Ian flipped through his recipe book.

"Lavender cookies? We can get rid of the aftertaste with stronger flavours of the other ingredients." Quickly heading out to get the flowers, the two debated over the cookies or small pound cakes.

"The cookies are small and easy to bake!"

"But the pound cakes are softer and can mask the bad aftertaste better!" Arguing, they decided to just bake both.

Ian smiled at his finished product, setting it into a plate. He saved the others in a little bag, tying it with a purple ribbon.

For Seto when he can see.

Lilia took her cookies, setting them on the same plate. The two delivered it to Seto, who sat up from his bed when the smell wafted in.

"Try to guess the flavor!" Letting him feel, Seto took one of the pound cakes, Ian smirking at Lilia. He bit into it lightly, swallowing.

"... Lavender?"

"Correct!" Smiling, Ian sat down behind Seto and helped him guide his fingers, Lilia giving him bite-sized pieces.

"I want to see the world..."

"You will, dear. You will.

"You're my little brother, you'll see and be okay." Looking at the clock, Lilia got up. "I'll be working late tonight, see you!" The door shut, Ian and Seto alone.

"..." Ian gently picked up a cookie, sliding it into Seto's fingers. "H-Huh?"

"You need to eat, my dear." Resting his head on the other, Ian softly hummed as Seto ate. "Love?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever heard of love making?" Seto blushed, leaning back and nodding.

"I-It's when two people have loving... sex right?" Ian nodded, Seto blinking before gulping a little. "I-I don't know, Ian..."

"It was just a suggestion, my dear." Kissing him on the forehead, Ian smiled softly. "We can take our relationship further, before we can tie the knot." Cheeks pink, Seto leaned into Ian's arms.

"P-Promise that you'll go gentle?"

"I'll make sure you're enjoying every minute."

So smut in the next chapter.
