Chapter 10:
Since the day Cassian arrived, he had tried everything to provoke Yuvan.
From sarcastic remarks to cold indifference, he tested every method he could think of.
Yet, Yuvan never reacted the way he expected.
Instead, Yuvan simply smiled, spoke politely, and even helped Cassian treat his injuries whenever he got hurt.
In the end, Cassian accepted defeat. And just like Sebastian and Theo, he slowly found himself becoming devoted to Yuvan.
---
Yuvan sat quietly on the garden swing, gently waving a small flower in his hand. The warm breeze played with his soft hair, making him look even more delicate.
Not far away, Cassian sat on the ground, carefully polishing a set of knives. His expression was focused, his movements precise and practiced.
Yuvan tilted his head slightly and watched him for a moment before asking curiously,
"Why are you polishing those knives?"
Cassian froze.
Sebastian had strictly instructed everyone not to mention anything related to mafia matters in front of Yuvan. He didn't want Yuvan to be exposed to that dangerous world.
Cassian cleared his throat and forced an awkward laugh.
"I'm polishing them for the kitchen," he lied smoothly.
Just then, Victor approached them. He bowed respectfully before handing Yuvan a sealed envelope.
"Master Yuvan, an invitation has arrived from the Francis family for Master Sebastian. Since he isn't home, I brought it to you."
Yuvan accepted the letter and nodded. "Thank you, Victor."
Victor bowed once again before quietly leaving.
Yuvan opened the envelope briefly, then turned toward Cassian.
"Cassian, who are the Francis?" he asked.
Cassian paused before replying, "They are one of the most powerful families in Australia."
Yuvan's eyes lit up with curiosity.
"Oh... then are we going to the banquet?"
Cassian shrugged. "That depends on the boss."
"I want to go," Yuvan pouted slightly. "I haven't been out for a long time."
"Then ask the boss to take you," Cassian suggested.
"But he's busy," Yuvan said, puffing his cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Just then, a deep voice sounded from behind them.
"What's the matter?"
Sebastian had arrived.
Yuvan immediately brightened and rushed toward him, grabbing his hand.
"Baby, I want to go to the banquet," Yuvan said softly.
Sebastian looked confused. "What banquet?"
"An invitation from the Francis family," Cassian explained, handing him the letter.
Sebastian glanced at the invitation before turning his attention back to Yuvan.
"You want to go?" he asked gently.
Yuvan nodded eagerly.
Sebastian smiled warmly. "Alright. Then we'll go."
Yuvan's face instantly lit up with joy. Without hesitation, he threw himself into Sebastian's arms.
"I love you," Yuvan whispered before planting a soft kiss on Sebastian's cheek.
Sebastian's ears turned red as he wrapped his arms around Yuvan, holding him close.
Cassian coughed lightly, looking away awkwardly. Watching the two of them being so affectionate made him feel like an unnecessary third wheel.
"You two enjoy. I'm out," Cassian muttered before quickly leaving.
Sebastian shot him an annoyed glance while Yuvan laughed softly.
At Night:
The night sky glittered with countless stars as Yuvan sat quietly on the swing, gazing upward. The cool breeze brushed against his skin, making him shiver slightly.
A moment later, a soft blanket was draped over his shoulders.
Yuvan looked up to see Sebastian standing beside him.
"It's cold. Don't stay outside for too long," Sebastian said gently.
Yuvan smiled warmly at him.
Slowly, he spread his arms.
"Then take me inside," he teased softly.
Sebastian's face flushed, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he bent down, lifted Yuvan into his arms, and carried him inside.
Yuvan rested comfortably against his chest, smiling softly as Sebastian walked back into the house.
The quiet night returned to stillness.
---
Sebastian laid Yuvan on the bed.
He was about to leave but Yuvan grab his hand and pulled him close.
"What—" before Sebastian could finish.
Yuvan captured his lips.
The kiss was slow at first, then it became passionate and then deep, raw and hungry.
Finally, after an intense kiss they pulled away.
Sebastian stared Yuvan with desire and raw hunger.
He wanted to continue but Yuvan stopped him.
"Not now" Yuvan whispered in his ear.
Sebastian was dissapointed but he respected his wifey's wishes.
So, he didn't push and simply laid beside him.
Sebastian pulled Yuvan in his arms and they fall asleep.
