Seeing Skye following Bowen into the kitchen, Jensen walked up to Sion and looped his right arm over the other's shoulders. "For once, your clumsiness paid off."
Sion glanced up at Jensen. "Is that a compliment or are you mocking me?"
"I would never mock you, Sion," Jensen promised.
"I know." Sion smiled. "Skye really cares about Bowen. He has been waiting for that kid to grow up."
"I know the feeling." Jensen smirked.
Sion narrowed his eyes at Jensen. "I'm a grownup, okay?"
"Okay." Jensen played along.
"Anyway, his wait is finally over," Sion continued.
"Indeed. Bowen is finally old enough to chase after what he wants, and he wants Skye."
"Our little boy is all grown up," Sion said.
"Spoken like a true mother," Jensen teased.
"Didn't you promise not to mock me?" Sion reminded.
"I was teasing you; not mocking you," Jensen clarified.
"Is there a difference?"
Jensen chuckled at Sion's disapproval. "Aw...I'll make you whatever you want to eat, if you forgive me."
"I want cinnamon lotus roots," Sion requested.
"As you wish," Jensen cooed. "Let's go to the market to get some lotus roots."
"Now?"
"Well, when do you want to eat it?"
"Tonight." Sion beamed.
"Then, we better get going. It takes time to prepare it."
"Okay. Let me tell Skye and Bowen that we're leaving."
"All right," Jensen concurred.
Without taking a step, Sion stood there and shouted at the top of his lungs. "WE'RE LEAVING!"
"I think my right ear is temporarily unable to hear," Jensen admitted.
"You're over exaggerating." Sion reached over to massage Jensen's right ear and mouthed 'I'm sorry' without saying it out loud.
"I can't hear you," Jensen informed calmly.
"Ge, it isn't fun when you don't freak out," Sion enlightened.
"In that case," Jensen widened his eyes, "WHAT?!"
"Ugh, never mind." Sion pouted in disappointment.
"You're one silly kid." Jensen ruffled Sion's hair.
"I'm not a kid."
"Is that so?"
"I'm just a little childish."
"Come on. Let's go, my slightly childish, grownup boyfriend."

"White," Bailey addressed as he sat next to him on the couch.
"Yes?" Yulian averted his attention away from the television to look at Bailey.
"Do you like being here with me?"
