CHAPTER 5

"Okay that's done"

Better wake Dio up.

Oz had prepared his usual breakfast, but today there was something special. He also made a cake for Dio. He was never into celebrating anything but he always remembers the first time he met Dio. That's why he made it into his birthday celebration. The first time Dio complained to Oz that he too wanted to celebrate Oz's birthday but Oz didn't remember his birthday because it was already over a millennial since he celebrated it.

Dio was a little bit dejected by the idea of not having to celebrate Oz's birthday, that's why Oz decided that they should celebrate their birthday together. That made Dio very happy, he was glad that they could share the same birthday. And just like the usual, Oz always prepared a cake on their birthday. Oz has never had a sweet tooth but because he knew how much Dio liked sweet he decided to learn how to bake sweet. He wanted to make Dio happy and seeing his smile always made Oz day.

Oz went to Dio's room to check if he was still sleeping, he noticed that for a few days now, Dio often went back home rather late at night. That's why he often wake up really late. Which was something that Dio had never done before? He never asked him where he went but he can't help but feel a little bit curious. After all, this was the first time he ever stayed so late before returning home, he knew that Dio won't do anything bad to him. He trusted him more than anyone. But he can't help to be a little bit curious.

Creak*

Slowly he opened the door and saw Dio was still sleeping. He tiptoed slowly near Dio's bed. There he crouched down and stared at Dio's sleeping face. As he continued to stare, he couldn't help but admire how handsome Dio has become. His features are much more masculine than his. His skin was a little bit tanned due to him always hunting in the forest. His nose was long and sharp, his jawline was firm and lean.

How can he be so handsome, sleeping like this?

Oz felt a little bit envious of how Dio looked sometimes. He was so good looking that every woman would have fawned over him without questions. Yet right now this man is sleeping so peacefully in front of him. Maybe because he was the one who raised him, he couldn't help but feel a little bit fondness over him.

Oz gently brushed his hair away, earning a grunt from the handsome man.

That's so cute...

It has been a while since he has seen his sleeping face unlike when he was still a small boy so this definitely brought back many pleasant memories. Oz couldn't keep his hand away, he was so fond of him. As he traced his face, he suddenly felt a sting.

How long will this last?

"Ugh..."

His expression grew solemn. He knew that he couldn't keep going on like this, but even so, he wanted to treasure this feeling as much as he could.

Sigh*...

What am I doing? I have decided to let him back to the human world once he's an adult. I shouldn't dwell on this feeling, yet...

"Dio..."

Oz whispered.

It's better for me to leave. I need to put some distance between us, I can't let him grow too attached to me.

With that, he stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a sudden pull. And before he knew it, he was lying beside Dio.

What the-

In confusion, he tried to struggle but that's when he realized that Dio was still asleep. He couldn't believe it, he was attacked by someone who was sleeping. Wanting to slip away without waking him up, prove to be difficult to do.
