Spicy Udon

The night was dark, there was no soul out in the world except for unlucky night shifters and thugs. After a slight drizzle, that had rested on the ground a few hours ago, the temperature dropped lower than usual making everything quieter and colder, forcing people in their houses for warmth.

Mickey was also one of them, the boy was shivering to his bones when he was dropped by his apartment building earlier. The coldness had caught up to him as he made his way inside and the first thing he did was to find refuge in the kitchen, near the stove. Deciding to prepare something warm and nutritious that can kill the chills and provide instant comfort, he decided to make spicy beef Udon.

The comfort that was also needed after a great scolding he earned from king at the mansion, not to mention his early departure.

Mickey was busy chopping the vegetables when the door of the apartment clicked open. The boy peeked in the hallway to find Jana shoving his shoes roughly into to shoe rack and fumbling with his house slippers with clattering teeth. The older then proceeded to hang his drizzled jacket with a 'fucking cold' along with his woollen cap and finally turned around to face the room.

"You are late" that's the first thing he heard even before his eyes landed on the one asking him. Travelling his eyes, Jana spotted half-hidden Mickey behind the wall and just then he realized the mouth-watering aroma wafting from the area the boy was speaking from.

"But you are early?" Jana questioned making his merry way towards the alluring smell of food "Didn't you say you were going to stay there till night?......what happened? King kicked you out?" the older joked teasingly, skipping behind Mickey, as he peeked inside the pot only to get amazed with how appealing the stew appeared.

But to more surprise was the giggle that erupted out of Mickey, he laughed as he glanced over his shoulder at Jana.

"How did you know?" Mickey asked smiling.

"well...it's not hard to guess. King is easily angry recently. It's a mess at the port as well......different people are visiting, some unknown and some really dangerous looking. And I assume it's chaotic in other places too since that's what everyone talks about" Jana explained, he picked a cherry tomato to pop in his mouth while Mickey covered the pot to simmer on low heat before he turned to face the other.

"Hmm....you are right, he is really mad nowadays. But I got kicked out because of our devil child" Mickey chuckled shaking his head, reminiscing the scenes of the legendary scolding he received and got asked to leave for his place with a guard, no further arguments. Jana chuckled too, he pulled a chair from nearby and sat on it before meeting his interested gaze with the younger.

"Do tell please...how you got your ass kicked?" he teased and Mickey laughed rolling his eyes. He threw a rag at Jana and paced closer until he was leaning against the older and then Mickey began to recite the story of Mago's rebels, their busted asses and an enraged king that twisted the consequences into the kill of soulmate's quality time.

It was a hell of a day.

"That's a lot" Jana laughed "Our devil child should listen to king. They are caught and are in king's custody but that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous," he said, voice dripping with concern.

Mickey watched Jana with curious eyes as he stood up and made his way to the kitchen, he lifted the lid of the pot, stared at the food for a solid minute and then turned to look at Mickey almost pleadingly. The food was done and it smelt heavenly, so with a smile, Mickey picked a bowl and handed it over to Jana who quickly proceeded to fill it with the noodles and the delicious thick soup before he made his way to the only floor couch in the room.

Mickey followed suit with his bowl and sat with the other before cautiously clearing his throat. He wanted to ask Jana about Mr Chris after his tell-tale but figured that it might make Jana uncomfortable. Since the day he had cried in his arms, Mickey considered anything related to Jana's family a sensitive subject and prevented going there but then the queries in his mind gnawed at him.

Nonetheless, he decided to ask

"Aren't you going to ask about Mr Chris?" Mickey started carefully side glancing at the other. Jana, who was inhaling the food, stopped for a second before he produced a sound at the back of his throat that appeared unpleased and uninterested at the same time.

"What is there to ask Mickey? He neither considers me his son nor does he fucking care about me.....then why should I give a damn about him." Jana said slurping the last bite of his stew "I am pretty busy in my world, I work, I earn and I eat delicious food my lovely boyfriend cooks for me.....what else do I want?" the older argued with a shrug, he stood up to fill another bowl and Mickey mindlessly stirred in his.

Ignoring how Jana called him his boyfriend.

Mago was right about Jana's choice of life, the man was content in what he had and that excluded Mr Chris and his so-called attention so far.

But then

"You won't care even if King isn't gonna go easy on him?" he asked again when the older returned but this time with a bigger portion of food and two cans of cold beer. Opening one for Mickey, he placed it in front of him and turned to face the younger.

"I hope King doesn't kill him but whatever else happens to him, he deserves it" Jana started thoughtfully, serious and curt.

"He has done so much to be excused. And after Mago and you, Mr Grey and myself......I think the Crime lord is where he has no other option than to reap what he sowed. I can't do anything even if I want to" Jana stated before returning to his bowl of perfection.

"Aside all....You are a fucking star cook Mickey. I was starving to hell when I exited the site and the shit cold outside froze my fucking organs inside me. But thanks to you.....I am a happy man" Jana smiled while twirling noodles on his fork.

Mickey smiled sassily

"let me take you out sometime....like a pretty date." Jana proposed with a sly smile as he watched Mickey standing up from the couch with his now cold food.

"Shut up~" Mickey sang while he sauntered to the kitchen with a particular strut that held Jana captive for a few seconds.

And then he scoffed.

"Geez, acting so hard to get" he murmured and resumed his delightful food with now occupying thoughts swirling in his mind.

...

Meanwhile, the meeting with the doctor went smoothly with no complications and overall good news taking away half of king's worry. The baby in the baby boy was growing just fine and was as healthy as it should be at the stage which, by the way, held most importance according to the doctor.

Mago was a nervous wreck when they entered the monitor room first, the lifelong fear of doctors and hospitals made him sweat as he clutched at King's bicep for dear life. The older had catered to his scared lover to his best abilities, he kissed his head and rubbed Mago's back occasionally and soon his efforts turned out when the small screen played a picture of their future spawn.

All the nervousness that brewed in Mago's system flew away the moment his eyes landed on the baby. A small, breathing blob with visible tiny limbs and a cute fragile structure, a baby that was leisurely growing inside Mago and was the ultimate proof of king's and Mago's love.

Mago was fucking proud of himself by the time the couple left the premises of the facility, he was giddy to think about his new friend that he was incubating, his baby and the blood of his own that he could call his family. While on the other hand, was king, totally prideful and over the moon after getting to see the development of his first child. The anger and sulking he had indulged in earlier escaped through the back door quietly and overcame a sense of protection and provided whatever would be the need of his two precious gifts in his life. The excitement Mago oozed only added to the happiness, it held King arrested and he swore in his heart to keep it that way until he is alive.

Perhaps, it was the reason the couple had stopped at the mall on their way back to fill a cart of things Mago desired, he was entitled to get his wishes fulfilled anyway.

A designated Mama

Sitting inside the huge basket couch, legs stretched in front of him, the boy happily munched on his caramel-coated dry fruits while twiddling his cute toes. The fire pit burning near the area made the surroundings a tad bit cosy, only breaking the harsh cold by a bit, while the rest of the garden drowned in a surreal layer of thin fog.

Pulling the soft blanket around himself, the tiny majesty sighed tiredly as he watched the older walking back and forth while talking on the phone and ignoring his lover who was waiting patiently for the required attention. But when the patience level reduced as soon as King proceeded to dial another call, Mago picked an open shell of walnut in his bowl and chucked it at King with perfect accuracy, nailing it right in his head from behind.

King understood the demand without any reasonable input and chuckled voicelessly before shutting his phone off and making his way to Mago. He slid behind the younger and quickly leaned in to place his lips against the other for a quick peck.

Mago smiled in the kiss.

"Yes, your majesty? Why am I summoned here?" King asked playfully and Mago giggled in return.

"When will Papa come back?" the boy asked, feeding King a peanut.

"I don't know baby....but he will soon" King replied briefly, he circled his arms around Mago and pulled him closer to his own body.

"Mr Ash hurt him so bad" Mago concluded solemnly. King hummed in return opening his mouth for another fruit.

"He did" King started while trying to keep his bitterness at bay "But you don't have to take stress over him. Father is not the one to sulk over things more than necessary, he will be fine I am sure and soon.....he will be between us" king assured his boy as he cuddled closer to Mago, inhaling his baby scent, he placed a kiss near his ear.

"Papa is scary when he is mad. Will he hang poor Mr Ash to the ceiling when he returns? Cause if he does that...that's fucked up" Mago gasped lowly as he displayed his concern, the wide doe eyes of his held queries the size of Mount Everest and that was enough for King to slip out a chuckle.

"What?...No my baby," King said amusedly making Mago turn and look at him. "He won't hang your poor Mr Ash sweet heart......and don't sympathize with him. He did you dirty with your parent's murder revelation" King reminded with a lighter tone not to stress the boy.

"but not as dirty as Fucking Chris and Kangsu. I can't believe they killed them over jealousy and money" Mago muttered and King felt the sudden dampness of his mood, he rubbed at Mago's belly silently and kissed his nape. The crime lord had waited for the boy to talk about the matter, he was ready to cater for his lover whenever and the time seemed to have finally come.

"I mean, I knew Mr Chris was a bitch but Kangsu......he always felt like a harmless vulgar fucking joke that freaking had no purpose other than to spread his smuttiness." The boy spat and King heard the heat behind every word. Even without knowing who his parents were, even without spending time with them, Mago was still disgusted and hurt by the fact that they were killed just because someone thought they should be.

How cruel someone can be?

"He was a bad news baby......always jealous, always defensive and self-centred bastard. It is impossible for him to think otherwise," King added his thoughts and Mago sighed leaning back against him.

"they didn't deserve to die like that Raye" Mago said in a whisper as if on the verge of crying. King's heart clenched at the voice, he sat straight making Mago shift as well.

"They didn't my love. Nobody does. I am sorry" King replied kissing Mago along his neck, silently comforting his baby with the loss he had borne many years ago. A long silence fell between the couple after that, king held Mago close while the boy snuggled in his boyfriend's arms.

It was all silent, too silent that it bothered king. It felt like Mago was silently mourning and king, despite wanting to provide everything in his vicinity so Mago would be fine, found himself helpless.

But it was until Mago suddenly opened his sassy mouth......

"By the way,....the way you dealt Kangsu in the basement, all that dominating Alpha shit?......it was hot as fuck" the boy spurted out taking King by surprise as the older gawked at the split change of emotions.

"Baby...." He choked on his breath as he stared at Mago amused.

"What?... it's fucking truth. He was all Macho until his fucking world went upside down. And Mr Chris and Mr Ash seemed like they had shit their pants......the way they looked fucking scared" Mago elaborated his opinion with justifiable examples and King doubled over while laughing. Once Calm, he rounded his arms around Mago's waist and pulled him closer until they were a breath apart, the beautiful expressive eyes of the boy looked mesmerizing and his lips inviting. King had a hard time controlling his urges.

"You are irresistibly adorable Mago, I wonder how much control I have that I haven't eaten you alive yet" the crime lord rasped dangerously, lips inches away from the boy, making Mago nervous as the boy looked around carefully for stray witnesses.

"I can still eat you though." the older continued implying his clear intentions.

"O-oh that's cannibalism, you dumbass" Mago pushed at King's chest in protest but the older was adamant as he stuffed his nose in Mago's neck for a long sniff and the younger knew instantly what that act was going to initiate.

King was insatiable and always hungry for the boy and if he wasn't stopped then that could escalate in different ways.

"No sexy shit until the baby comes Raye....." the boy announced pushing King away forcefully. The older frowned, clearly dazed, as he looked at Mago with raised brows.

"Who said that?" he asked, eyebrows still raised in question.

"the doctor" Mago replied like it was the simplest answer of all times and King tched. He pulled the boy against himself again and pressed his nose in Mago's cheek.

"No way in hell....I was there the whole time. She never said anything like that" he countered with his own argument and Mago felt caught.

But then he supplied his thoughts openly.

"oh then....I must be hallucinating and I like to believe in my hallucination." Mago stated in a matter-of-fact tone "Besides, my ass needs a fucking break from a hungry beast like you. So better get away from me now....come on chop chop" he shooed King away only to get a lowly chuckle and a stubborn grip from king.

I think the fuck not" he said like a maniac as he caged Magi under his weight. Mago giggled like a brat, filling the night with his beautiful voice, while dodging the kisses king was attacking him from all sides possible. What started as a cute fight eventually turned out to be a make-out initiated by Mago and King reciprocated each action of his lover with a happy heart.

Merry Christmas Everyone Happy New Year.
