the next morning, doyoung slammed his hand on his alarm clock before cuddling further into the warm comforter that was wrapped around his body.

he didn't like to leave his warm bed in the morning, and he liked this even less when he knew he would have to go to the demon realm.

the human eventually got up, getting dressed and heading to the breakfast room, where he was greeted by his mother with a big kiss on his cheek.

"mom, i'm not 12 anymore..." he whined, picking up an apple on the table and eating it.

"you'll stay my baby forever." she giggled.

doyoung rolled his eyes playfully as he concentrated on his apple.

he complained about his mother's clinginess a lot, but in real, he loved it.

his mother's embrace was so comfortable and warm... surprisingly, it was the only person who could make doyoung not feel cold.

"you should hurry, dear. school will start soon." the queen said, making doyoung remember was what waiting for him.

he left the table after dropping a kiss on her cheek.

he got to his room where he brushed his teeth and prepared his stuff to go to school.

before he could even wait, a familiar black portal appeared in the middle of his room, and yuta walked out of it, allowing doyoung to see the reddish landscape on the other side.

"good morning, heir of the demon realm." yuta bowed.

doyoung looked at the demon weirdly. "huh..."

"you may follow me into this inter-realm portal." the demon spoke again, gesturing the portal.

doyoung raised a brow, wondering what was going wrong with the demon to act like this.

anyway, the human walked towards the portal, making his vision blurry before every ounce of blue he could see slowly morphed into red.

when he opened his eyes again, he realised he was in a bedroom, the same he was in the day before.

it was jaehyun's bedroom, in the demon castle.

and doyoung was sure of it judging by the dominant colours being red and black, and by the fact he was already feeling warmer.

"you're here early." a voice said, making doyoung turn around.

very bad – or good? – decision.

in front of his eyes was standing a bare-chested jaehyun, in the doorframe of what doyoung assumed to be his bathroom.

he was wearing tight leather pants that hugged his legs nicely, and that allowed doyoung to see the v-line created by his toned abs.

the simple view of his upper-body was enough for doyoung to know that jaehyun was way stronger than him and that he held no chance against him.

"oh my!" doyoung let out after a few seconds, turning around as if he hadn't been staring at the other's abs for more than five seconds. "put on a shirt!"

doyoung heard jaehyun chuckle behind his back as he tried hiding his blushing cheeks.

"don't worry sir doyoung." yuta said. "jaehyun is comfortable with you seeing his handsome body."

"well, i'm not!" doyoung whined, slapping his cheeks lightly to make the blush fade. "and don't call me sir doyoung!" he added, still not understanding what had happened to yuta for him to be so formal with him.

"but, jaehyun told me to treat you like the heir of a realm that you are." yuta informed.

"i told you to be nice and respectful. not to address to him as his majesty..." jaehyun informed.

doyoung peeked behind his back, noticing that jaehyun had finally put on a shirt.

however, looking further into detail, doyoung couldn't be sure that the shirt changed anything.

it was a black shirt, tailored into a very transparent fabric, making his divine body visible to the eyes of all.

and this sent doyoung flushing red again.

"don't you have clothes than can hide all this...?" doyoung asked, trying to look elsewhere.

a sudden wave of heat hit doyoung, and the next thing he knew, he was pushed against a wall, trapped between jaehyun's muscular arms slightly hidden by the black transparent shirt.

the boy closed his eyes in fear, seeing the demon being so close to him.

"you are my prisoner, so i should be the one giving orders." he slurred, his lips brushing against doyoung's ear, and causing a burning sensation.

doyoung gulped, his eyes remaining close as he started suffocating because of the heat emitting from the other's body.

he started trembling in fear, already imagining the worst scenarios that could happen to him.

however, the unbearable heat disappeared after a few seconds, and doyoung heard a light chuckle breaking the thick tension that had taken place there.

"i'm kidding." jaehyun laughed. "i'll go wear an opaque shirt if you prefer." he added before disappearing in his closet.

at that point, doyoung was still against the wall, not daring to move, with his eyes widened.

he glanced at yuta who had taken a sit on the bed and who was rolling his eyes.

"jaehyun is not only someone possessive, he also likes to act dominant."

♨/❄

"bon appetit!" jaehyun exclaimed before taking a huge bite of his hamburger.

"huh..." doyoung looked at the blood pouring out of the steak inside the hamburger jaehyun had just bit in.

the sight got him shared.

one side of him was utterly disgusted by the fact someone could eat so shamelessly a dead animal transformed into a vulgar bloody steak.

but the other side was wondering how it was possible to look this hot doing something this disgusting – because, let's be honest, the way jaehyun's veiny hands held onto the burger for it not to crumble while he took bites out of it made doyoung wonder if he would look that hot himself doing that too.

"is there a problem?" yuta asked, seeing doyoung's face getting paler as he looked successfully at jaehyun and then his plate where a similar dish was sitting, waiting to be eaten.

"don't you have something... huh... without meat?" doyoung asked, looking at yuta to push the image of jaehyun out of his mind.

"without meat?" yuta repeated. "what for?"

"i don't eat meat." doyoung informed.

the two demons sitting at his table stopped everything they were doing to look at him.

this made doyoung quite uneasy.

"you don't eat meat?" jaehyun asked again after swallowing everything he had in his mouth.

"n-no." doyoung answered, looking away.

"why would you do that?" yuta asked.

"we don't have meat in our realm. we don't kill animals. we learn to live with them." doyoung exclaimed.

"oh..." the two demons let out.

jaehyun looked at his surrounding quickly before pulling the top bread of doyoung's burger and taking the steak with his other hand before placing the top bread on top of it again.

"here. a meatless burger." he said with a smile, placing the piece of meat in his plate.

doyoung's frowning face soon morphed into a smiling one looking at jaehyun solving his problem.

he giggled silently before picking his burger up, ignoring the fact that what he was about to eat had touched a piece of dead animal.

"thank you." he said before digging in.
