Sweet Toothache

Sweet Toothache

“what are you doing now” Mickey heard from the seat beside him and turned to look at Jana, he tsked loudly and turned his attention back to his phone in his hand.

The older of the two rolled his eyes at the gesture and took a sip from his now not-so-cold beer.

Mickey accompanied Jana to that fancy club only to fulfil his part of the deal, the date. Earlier, when Mickey was pacing around his small apartment in worry about his soulmate who he hadn’t seen in a few days, Jana claimed his date night.

At first, Mickey refused to go but then he made up his mind, he would have a change of environment to divert his worried thoughts and his deal would be done for.

Both didn’t happen.

The ‘date duo’ had been sitting at the corner booth for over an hour now but Mickey was distracted each second towards his phone and it was getting on Jana’s nerves.

The boy was looking so gorgeous, even in his casual attire, that Jana had a hard time focusing on anything other than him. He wanted to flirt, to laugh and to enjoy some time with a beautiful being.

But Mickey wasn’t paying him any attention.

“Mickey…..” Jana called frustrated and heard a groan in return.

“I am calling my baby bitch who isn’t picking up his goddamn phone……..” Mickey told while placing his phone back against his ear.

“Who? Mago?” Jana asked taking a big gulp from his glass while eyeing the one Mickey never touched.

“yeah, who else” the younger spat not in the mood.

“come on Mickey, he must be busy with his boyfriend…..and you should be too” Jana stated purposefully riling other’s temper as he watched Mickey suddenly glaring at him.

“you are not my fucking boyfriend Jana” Mickey cleared it with a warning and Jana felt a little string being pulled in his heart.

Why so rude?

“ughh……he is not picking up…….he worries me too much” Mickey placed his phone on the table roughly and grabbed his glass of beer from the table to finish it in a go.

Jana watched him quietly, his mood was sour now that Mickey was treating him that way.

“let's get out of here…..its past twelve and it's getting creepy” the younger suggested and got up to straighten his jeans and jacket. Jana rolled his eyes at him, standing after him.

“Sure, since you have already ruined the date….let’s just go back” Jana scoffed earning a look from Mickey, the boy looked at Jana and his disappointed face.

“come on, don’t be like that now Jana. I came here, didn’t I? I have filled my part of going out with you on a date” Mickey was right; he was done with his part but Jana had a different way of thinking.

“ignoring me all this while and calling your ‘baby’ is what you call a date Mickey, seriously” the older retorted harshly as he glared at the younger with a question.

“That’s so bullshit of a behaviour Mickey” Jana shouted with a frown, his voice was suppressed under the booming music as he flipped his glass on the table, angrily.

Mickey stood silent and stared at the other’s figure slowly going away from him, leaving the booth and walking his way to the exit.

Mickey has had enough. He was standing there alone while some of the passerbyes looked at him curiously.

Picking up his belongings and paying for the drinks, the boy composed himself.

‘He is just a fucking jerk’ Mickey told himself and rushed out of the building only to find Jana leaning against a pole in the alleyway, smoking, at the backside of the club.

A furious feeling trumped his composed behaviour and Mickey lunged at his date for the night.

Mickey pulled at Jana’s arm, making his cigarette fly out of his grip, and glared daggers at him.

Jana looked kind of surprised but such strength.

“What is your problem huh…..why are you so mad?” Mickey asked challenging, raising his voice loud enough to catch the attention of the nearby listeners.

Jana scowled in return.

“my problem is that I wanted you to come out with me so we can have some time together…..but look at you. You have been ignoring my presence as if I don’t exist……if you didn’t have a clear mind then why did you even bother coming?” Jana shouted at the younger’s face and Mickey watched him in distaste.

“listen……” Mickey started after a sigh but Jana beat him to it.

“That's fucking unfair Mickey” Jana retorted

“OH FUCKING FINE!!!....... I will go with you again happy?” Mickey promised and almost instantly, the older smiled through his lips. All his angry demeanour was gone and was replaced with a small suspicious grin.

He was so easy.

“you mean it?” he asked in his normal, lower but dominating voice.

“I do, now let’s fucking go” Mickey rolled his eyes and felt his waist getting circled with both strong arms of Jana. The boy remained unfazed as he glanced at his phone screen.

Mago is gonna get a spanking reserved for him when they meet.

“let’s get you home sweetheart” Jana slurred happily but Mickey stopped him.

“no, let’s go to your place………I will find my way home” he said, Jana frowned.

“but….” The older wanted to ask why but he couldn’t.

“just do what I say dammit” Mickey roared walking forward towards the bike they have parked earlier.

“geez fucking fine” Jana muttered under his breath following his date.

………..

Upon reaching the house, a frown instantly made its way over Jana’s face. He slowly got off the bike and helped Mickey off before looking at his house once again.

The whole building was drowned in darkness, no night light or bulb was on, the wooden fence gate to the yard was closed and the house seemed dark from the inside as well.

It has never happened before.

“maybe no one is home” Jana stated after seeing Mickey frowning at the sight. The younger looked at Jana, observing him before nodding his head.

Something seemed off about that house.

“so” Jana started

“so?” Mickey asked.

“you dropped me home, won’t you kiss me goodbye” Jana proposed an idea and Mickey raised a brow in question.

“I mean it is kind of a norm that whoever is dropped is kissed…… sooo……” Jana made up something of his own combining it with what he has seen in movies.

mickey shook his head, somewhat annoyed, before rolling his eyes and pulling at the older’s collar harshly.

“your demands are like a fucking baby” Mickey growled as he pressed their lips together in a heated kiss. Jana kissed back with fervour while closing his eyes and holding the boy closer to his own bulky build but the other was focused on that empty, dark building.

Is what King was saying, true?

…………

The next morning arrived with a fresh breath to the manor. Everything that seemed dull was now pure and beautiful to the eyes, the world seemed so fine even the enemies could get some leniency.

Okay, maybe that’s too much.

Mago was sprawled against the naked chest of his lover while the older was wide awake, smiling and dreaming in broad daylight. King has had plenty of sex in his life, he had a history of lovers but never had he ever felt this way.

Tiny flowers were blooming in his chest as he watched the squished cheek of his lovely boy on his chest, breathing through his slightly open mouth. Mago had a tight grip on the king’s torso and he was deeply asleep.

Until….

The boy jerked with a snore, that might have disturbed his dreams, and opened his eyes in a snap. He waited for a second and then looked up only to find King already looking at him with affection and something near amusement.

“was I snoring?..... I know I was” he asked groggily. King parted his lips to speak but….

“don’t fucking dare lie to me” Mago warned him, in his soft morning voice and bed hairs, instantly. king chuckled.

“yeah….you were snoring and drooling all nine yards baby but I don’t mind…..it’s cute” Mago scoffed in return as he stretched his naked self and yawned cutely, moaning in pain when his sore muscles protested.

“What is cute in snoring and drooling?” he disagreed, slumping back against the king’s chest. The boy adjusted himself so that he was facing King now.

“Nothing really…..but when my baby does it. It’s cute” The remarks were enough to make Mago silent. He stared at King for a second long, long enough that the older had to ask.

“What?” King questioned.

“you sound like you are in…love” A mumble from the boy came and that’s it.

“maybe I am” King smirked in return.

“why must you play me like this……why” A dramatic sigh was what Mago let out as he asked his boyfriend. King remained silent and stared at his boy with loving eyes.

“you….were playing right?” the smirk deepened and Mago narrowed his eyes.

“right?” King chortled at his adorable baby and leaned down to peck him on his lips.

“I don’t think so” King stated earning shocked Mago.

“What” the boy asked

“It’s been long since I have felt this way……..” King started catching the younger’s attention completely.

“Honestly, I didn’t think I would fall in love with someone……” he stopped as he traced his hands up and down Mago’s bare back.

“Someone, who is a combination of a rebel jerk, a sexy baby boy and a cursed queen” Mago stared at King absentmindedly. The boy was confused and shocked at what he was hearing.

Was it a confession?

The younger wasn’t sure how to digest this new, almost mind-wrenching news, he had never seen someone saying things like that. Nobody does that in this world and if they do, won't they be blatantly lying?

Mago needs Mickey…..right fucking now.

“so yeah…..I love you, I really do” King uttered amusedly after seeing the confusion in Mago’s mind and his doe eyes.

Mago didn’t believe in such empty words, these can be used to lure someone into their trap and that’s how the world worked for him.

All his life, he had never seen or heard these words anywhere where they held their true meaning. People called them three magical words but in Mago’s opinion, those magical words were a concoction of some witches' desires.

A delusional witch at that.

The boy has faced a cruel fate under the name of love, he has seen kids, older than him, stealing his food after saying they love him and he should love them back, caretakers mistreating him saying that they love him and don’t wanna spoil him, and last but not least Jana.

Jana used to tell him that he loved Mago so much but the way he used a paddle and wooden bat over his squishy butt efficiently didn’t quite serve the true purpose of love.

“you sure this isn’t some post-sex talk…” his suspicion hurt King but he chuckled and kissed the boy once again.

“It’s not….I am pretty sure” King responded lovingly, ready to show his boy what true love is.

Mago fell silent for a while, he nibbled on his lower lips anxiously as his eyes shook in concentration. The boy contemplated his options as to what he should say in return but nothing came to the rescue.

King felt his feeling of being pressured but he waited for Mago to talk first.

“I….I…” Mago stuttered looking up at King.

“you don’t have to say it back just because I said it” King countered the wild thoughts in Mago’s head. the boy looked unsure of what King said.

“you….you won’t be mad?” he asked almost timidly. King smiled at him caressing his face.

“not at all. Loving someone should be your will and not a pressure” he said and the words seeped deep inside the younger’s chest.

Eyes watering, the boy looked down and rubbed his nose against King’s skin before returning his dreamy gaze to the older.

“what’s wrong?” there was worry in his voice when he saw Mago’s teary eyes.

“I am having a toothache in my heart since you are so sweet” he muttered with a light sob and King took a second long to understand before he laughed out loud and leaned down to press his forehead with the younger.

“oh boy…..I love you”
