Chapter Five

Lian's borrowed clothes were far too big for him, but by the time he came down he realized it was much more comfortable than he thought. The cotton was thick, 100%, warm and a little fuzzy. The shorts were thick, double lined, and fit him well if the laces are tied.

The twins were watching TV with food and a couple of drinks. They were sitting on the floor to be closer to the food on the coffee table. Surrounding the small table were pillows and blankets, messily strewn out just to make themselves comfortable.

It was Jonah who first noticed him, wearing clothes he owned. Lian wearing a large shirt and shorts that smelled of Jonah was sexier than any lingerie, and he could just imagine pulling- "Lian! Come over, your clothes are in the dryer. Maybe we should watch some Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise."

"I... I'd like to go home," says the shy young man, though a bit older than them. Besides, Jade's light blue is looking at him and it's making his heart want to curl deep in his ribs. The black eyeliner makes it a lighter blue while Jonah's eyes look deep blue because of the neutral beiges he wears.

"You should stay a while..." Jade casually says, beckoning him over. Lian still looked nervous and hesitant, shuffling his feet. So Jade pats his left thigh, "Come on, Lian. Don't be shy... we have pizza. Dinner."

He really doesn't have plans to stay, but Jade's eyes were adamant on inviting him. His voice were that of the dessert sand; smooth yet hot to the touch. Unable to resist, Lian quietly made his way to the table, where the two made space for him to sit between them: Jade on his right and Jonah on his left. Both of them are making Lian nervous.

Aside from the pizza, he saw an assortment of ham and cheese on a board, the hungry young man immediately intrigued.

"Wow... a biscuit tray?" Lian says as he picked ham off the charcuterie board. "I've never had this before."

"You like to try stuff you haven't tried before?" Jade asked him.

Lain nods enthusiastically as Jonah takes ham and cheese off the board and stacks it between biscuits. "Here... try this."

"Wow!" Lian's face lit up at the taste of excellent quality cheese and a sweet and savory ham. "Mmm, this is so good..."

Jonah's jaw shifts and Jade shifts in his own seat hearing that breathy moan. The latter says, "You can eat as much as you want, just stay quiet during the movie..."

Jonah whispers, "He likes his vampire movies too much."

Lian snickers with Jonah as the brown haired twin arranges more treat combinations for him. Lian was so impressed with the cured meat and milk cheese, and Jonah fed him the fruits. They were whispering to each other, "You like that?"

"Mmm..."

Jade loves his vampire movies, but he seemed to be a bit distracted watching Lian interact with his twin. They tried to keep quiet, but Jade's ears can easily pick up the giggles and moans from when Lian tastes new cheeses. When the beginning of the movie was playing, Jonah handfed Lian some ham.

"Good?"

"So good," Lian moaned to compliment the treats. Jade finds himself uncomfortably breathing deep, before they all focused their eyes on the movie. Mostly the twins stealing glances at the boy between them. "Oh wow, Lestat is so handsome..."

"That's Tom Cruise..." Jonah whispers while putting his hand on Lian's thigh, casually smoothing over it, "You think he's handsome?"

"Oh yeah..." Lian whispered, "The long hair and all..."

The twins shared a look. Lian seems to be distracted from the movie and treats that he didn't mind Jonah's hand on his thigh. But, the gentleman he is, moved his arm to rest on Lian's shoulders. Jonah wants to know Jade's next move, and Jade's eyes are telling him he may not like it.

As long as you don't kill him, I'm fine with it.

Jade smirked, Are you?

Since Jonah offered him treats, Jade decided to pour Lian a drink. "Here... wash that down with a little tequila sunrise. Without the cranberry juice."

"So just tequila and juice?" Lian laughs.

"You know your alcohol, I love that..." Jade nods, impressed. That little compliment made Lian's ears go red as he takes the drink offered to him. Maybe it'll impress Jade even more.

You're getting him drunk?

Not to knock him out. To loosen him up, from Jade.

The twins can't read each other's minds, but microfacial expressions like Jonah's furrowed eyebrows while staring at the alcohol, replied by Jade slightly shaking his head before raising both eyebrows nonchalantly makes it easy for both of them to silently communicate. Being with each other from birth gives them a strong enough bond that does not need words.

It was halfway through the movie, and the two of them are getting noisy. Lian had a red face and was laughing while arguing with Jonah, "He loves him! Lestat loves him!"

"It's not a gay romance, Lian!"

Lian sat on his knees and grabbed a laughing Jonah by his shoulders, "Look at him! Look at him, Jonah! Those eyes want Brad Pitt, I know I would! LOOK AT IT Jonah! He's beautiful!"

Jonah couldn't look, his eyes were stuck on Lian's gorgeous eyes and genuine smile. He held his neck to calm him down, "Are you drunk?!"

"No?!" Lian fell forward laughing, and Jade watches Jonah's hand unconsciously hold him by the waist. His twin is smitten, itching to have Lian for himself. But his eyes are still soft when looking at Jade, so a laughing Lian got up to return to his seat. "Sorry... ahahah... about that..."

"Don't be," says Jade, drinking a glass of alcohol before handing Lian another, while leaning towards him and catching him off guard by being too close to his face. "You can bother us all you want... have fun all you want. We're glad you're here, Lian."

Jonah consumes an entire glass while side-eyeing them. Lestat and Louis were seducing a woman in the TV, while Jonah starts breathing nervously because Jade was getting Lian drunk. Their faces are too close to each other, but Jade really is seducing him.

"I don't... want to bother you," Lian says shyly, his eyes undeniably looking down on Jade's lips.

"Why not? You like me, don't you?" Jade leans in to brush their noses together, and Jonah takes the bottle to drink a swallow or two. His arm was still around Lian as Jade whispers to him, "Don't deny it, Li..."

Lian was turning red. If he was sober, he'd deny it, but Jade's intoxicating scent along with the alcohol made him tell the truth. "Y-yeah..."

"Why?" Jade gently holds his face and makes it turn towards his twin, who can't help but hungrily stare him down. "Why not my picture brother, too?"

"J-Jonah is... nice, but..."

"But?"

Lian looks at Jonah, his eyes softening with admiration. "I don't know. You... have the same eyes..."

His eyes are full of innocence, like a homeless cat looking up at him with giant black pupils. But one fall of those lids made Lian look like a sensual lioness tempted by pleasure. Jonah can't take it and leans toward Lian's neck to take in his scent, all while being held by the other hand. "Lian... oh god, you drive me nuts..."

"Wh-why...?" Lian asks, gasping at the lips on his neck and the nose taking in his scent. His hands are against Jonah, but not pushing away. "Jonah... we can't..."

His sound, that sweet breath, is doing something to Jade. Maybe he shares the same current feeling with his twins, maybe it's their brotherly bond. But Lian's voice is doing something.

Jade lifts his right arm to kiss his wrist, "You can't have just one, Lian... you'd have to take care of the two of us."

"T-two?" Lian was confused, but also feeling hot from Jonah on top of him and Jade behind him. "But I-"

"Yes, baby... you have to take care of the two of us..." Jade whispers from behind, while Lian watches Jonah pull away just to look in his eyes. With the dim light of the TV, they really do look the same. Those eyes are the same as Jade's. Not darker, not lighter. "You can have me, and you'll have Jonah."

"You can have both."
