?????? ? yeonbin {BOOK 1} ?

°??????? ???????°

soobin got under the water, closing his eyes and humming when the warm water hit his skin, he was glad to take a bath, since he was all sticky. the male felt arms wrapping around his waist and the demon rest his chin on his shoulder, kissing his cheek, he wasn't minding much, that is, until yeonjun started to kiss his neck and run his hands over his body.

"don't even start." the black haired pulled away, turning around and narrowing his eyes to the other, that licked his lips.

"i can heal you after."

"no." soobin crossed his arms and stood his ground, but involuntarily averted his eyes to yeonjun's chest and abs, biting his lips. he sucked in saying no to sex. "fuck. okay, but after you show me around."

"whatever you say, my queen." the older smirked, pulling the other closer by the waist and gluing their bodies, he kissed soobin's lips a couple of times before letting him go, allowing both to actually shower.

yeonjun washed himself and helped the angel only to have a excuse to touch his body, receiving a good amount of hums in contentment followed by annoyed glares. he didn't mind though, just like he didn't mind soobin complaining the whole time about how there wasn't any shower oil he could use, or exfoliating cream, or the multiples products he liked to use when showering. the demon ended up having to promise to get him all of those later.

"danny, this dress is so pretty. i have to thank taehyun later." soobin looked at himself in the mirror, the black dress enhancing his body in the right places, especially his petite waist, and making a great contrast with his white wings. it was something that already made him feel like part of hell, as he almost never used dark colored clothes, besides lingerie.

"yeah, i think it's his." yeonjun shrugged, bottoming his shirt up lazily and folding the sleeves after. the cloth seemed see through and soobin almost asked him to change it when being able to see his bellybutton piercing, not sure he could handle not asking to get fucked before the tour ended, but decided to just treat himself with the view. it didn't seem bad to get fucked in a random room, anyway.

"no way! he always wear leather pants and long sleeves, i never saw him with something that showed more skin. which is a shame, like everyone can see his body is nice as fuck." the angel felt yeonjun intertwine their hands before both left the room, their footsteps echoing throughout the empty hallway.

"he wears other things too, i saw it one or two times after i met him. i guess he's just always working, so he's usually with work clothes." soobin nodded, making a mental note of asking taehyun where he got his clothes from since they were always pretty.

yeonjun led both as if he knew the place inside out, even after spending years without being there. the castle managed to amaze soobin more than heaven's one, simply because everything there was placed to make a statement of how powerful the royal demons were. it was all in gothic style and using dark colors, dark silver decorating multiple places along with little details made in the same color as the walls. it was way more elegant than heaven's castle.

the angel thought it was a little bit too cold though, as he wasn't used to living in hell, and wasn't a demon. it wasn't something that bothered him, however. yeonjun seemed so incredibly in place too, as if the whole place matched his aura and person, it made soobin slightly mesmerized, realizing how his boyfriend seemed to be born to rule that place.

the whole tour got the taller entertained, way more when the red haired knew all the answers for every question soobin made out of curiosity, like what type of flowers were the ones close to the door, that led him into asking if any flower could grown in hell, or why the place was so cold. he liked it all too much, it felt strangely more welcoming than heaven, even if said kingdom was his actual home. the younger got more informed in the topic after yeonjun had explained detailedly to him what taemin did and told how the crystalian would see him soon to take the enchantment blocking his abilities.

soobin felt weird when discovering he was a royal angel, but there wasn't much he could do.

yeonjun didn't seem as distracted anymore too, as if whatever was in his head before, he managed to forget. he didn't, but soobin couldn't possibly know that. the demon only decided to think about the matter later, in the presence of taemin, so both could discover a way of making it all less worse.

the red haired showed only the important rooms of the castle, since the building was too big to do a full tour. the angel only had to know basic places for now, since he could learn the others little by little while living there. yeonjun wanted to bring the other to one other place though, one that wasn't necessary, but still important to him.

the two stopped before big and mirror doors, that had adornments in black, making some sort of mosaic on the door. the demon opened it and led soobin inside, resting a hand on his lower back, and closing the door after. the angel gasped in awe, looking around the room that seemed like a greenhouse, flowers decorating the place with multiple dark colors and forms.

"dan, this is beautiful." soobin smiled dreamily, looking at the older for a second before averting his eyes back to the place. one of his favorites places in heaven was the garden, but it somehow couldn't even compare to the greenhouse he stood inside now. the place almost felt like from a dream, it was strangely dark, as if night inside and lightened by the moon, and the flowers were big and had intense colors.

"it was my mother's. she was the one to cultivate all the flowers in the castle, but this garden was her safe place." yeonjun gave the other a small smile, touching one of the burgundy flowers gently, that was the most important place for him in the whole castle. he knew the only reason the plants were still healthy was because of ruby, the girl always seemed to feel guilty over their mother's death, and taking care of it gave her a small sense of compensation for her birth. "the tulips were for me, the dahlias for ruby."

"she did a great job, this is definitely the prettiest place i ever saw." soobin smiled softly, squeezing his boyfriend's hand lightly in a way of comforting him. he stared at the said flowers, tulips all in dark red and dahlias in black, as if they were meant to always mean a single thing, maybe how the two siblings were so important for the woman, she had to turn her flowers into something that could remind her of them. "thank you for bringing me here, danny."

the angel got closer of the other, brushing their noses together and caressing his cheek. yeonjun held him by the waist, eyes closed as if taking soobin's presence in. the red haired would never show such place for someone other than the male in front of him, it was way too close to his heart, too personal, too important, but soobin was just as much in his heart, just as important, so he didn't mind.

"darling?" yeonjun opened his eyes slowly, tucking a strand of hair behind the younger's ear and gently playing with his ear after. the taller hummed, pulling away slightly so he could stare at the demon.

"yeah?"

"i love you." the red haired knew he did, he loved soobin with all his heart, he loved the angel like he was born to only love him, to only have him in his heart and mind. yeonjun never thought he would find someone like the younger, someone that seemed to be made for him, that fitted his hands perfectly, who's smile made him believe in the world, who's eyes shined like a child just as must as they shined in the most devious way. he was ready to die, ready to not have anything, but soobin gave everything he didn't know he needed.

yeonjun patiently waited, he wasn't expecting to hear the three words back, honestly. so he waited for soobin to say he needed more time, to say he wasn't ready to make such statements yet, but he never got any words. instead, the angel stepped back and turned his face to the side, as if he couldn't stare at the red haired.

the demon understood. he went through that scene way too many times to not know what it meant, to not get every single hidden meaning in the other's actions and expressions. that wasn't the request for more time, or the assurance the angel just wasn't ready yet, it was rejection.

soobin simply didn't love him like he did.
