They were lying side by side on Azren's bed. It was the first time they were together on a bed, and Azren wouldn't hope for anything more as long as Michy would stay by his side.
Michy was an arrogant boy, and he rarely said something sweet to anyone. But, the boy was willing to drop his pride and said that he would stay by Azren's side. Not only once, but twice.
They only started dating today, and Michy didn't show a significant change aside from that. But for Azren, that small change was already so precious for him.
Just a series of words, but it was enough to make him feel better. For some reason, the pain that he felt in his heart gradually lessened the moment he was physically close to the human.
"So, what were you doing in front of my door earlier, Michy? I was just about to look for you, but it turns out you've been waiting for me in front of my door," Azren broke the silence as he dared himself to grab Michy's hand under the blanket.
It was still afternoon, but the air was a bit chilly, and that was why both of them were covered by a blanket when they were lying on the bed.
Michy's hand was smaller than Azren's, but it looked like their hands were two pieces of the puzzle that completed each other. The thought was funny, and Azren smiled as he tightened his grip on the boy's hand.
On the other hand, Michy let the other man hold his hand as he replied, "Felice called you, and she even asked you to move away from me. I can guess that something bad is happening."
Azren indeed talked with Felice in his room because Felice asked him to keep the matter secret. She also asked him to keep Michy away from the internet. Felice didn't want to see Michy sad, and she wanted Azren to make sure that Michy wouldn't browse the internet to find the bad news today.
"Nothing bad is happening. Felice just wanted to talk to me about some matters related to my job. You don't need to worry, Michy," trying to keep calm, Azren ended up hiding the truth.
Felice gave him a difficult task, but Azren was trying so hard to do his job properly. He also didn't want to see Michy sad, and he intended to cover the horrible situation from the idol.
But, to his surprise, the idol suddenly turned his head to him and glared at him. "We only started dating today, but you dared to lie to me?"
Azren gulped nervously, and he also brought his head to turn to the idol. "It's just about the matters that happened today, Michy. Felice and the company will deal with it, and you don't have to think about it."
The demon had tried to coax the idol, but the said idol remained with his flat expression. "Do you think I don't know what's happening out there? When you entered this room to talk with Felice, I fished out my phone and opened my social media. I know what's happening there."
Azren could only gasp when he heard Michy's honest explanation. He deliberately tried to hide the fact from Michy as per Felice's order, but the idol had known the real situation even if he didn't disclose the secret.
Now Azren didn't know what he should do and just stared at Michy silently. He was worried, but when he saw the boy's relaxed expression, he didn't think Michy felt stressed now.
"Stop staring at me like that!" The idol reprimanded his assistant. "It's not like my world would end even if the public wouldn't trust me anymore. I lost lots of followers on my social media, but so what?"
Michy was acting as nothing happened, and Azren frowned at the young idol. However, he then remembered something. "You can still act relaxedly because you have a backup plan?" He asked the question as he recalled the moment when Michy told Felice that he had a backup plan.
Azren didn't know what kind of backup plan the idol had, but when he saw how the idol could stay calm in this situation, he couldn't help but think that the backup plan was so powerful.
"Yes," the blue-eyed boy answered while bringing his gaze to stare at the ceiling. "It's because of my backup plan. I've expected that I would need to use this plan in the end."
The demon looked puzzled. Michy sounded pessimistic, but at the same time, the idol looked like he still had hope.
"Can you tell me more about your backup plan? You didn't tell Felice earlier, but I'm your boyfriend. I deserve to know, right?"
Azren was bold enough to bring up about the boyfriend stuff. They just started dating today, and he never brought up the topic of being the idol's boyfriend. His face flushed a little, but he still dared to continue staring at the young idol.
Michy once again turned to his assistant while raising his brows. "You still have the nerve to call yourself my boyfriend when you dared to hide the bad news from me?"
Michy suddenly looked mad, and Azren widened his eyes in surprise. He was surprised and feeling attacked, but he once again challenged himself to hug Michy's small body and place his head on the idol's chest.
"I know that I'm wrong because I hid the matter from you, but I just don't want to see you sad. Please forgive me, hm? We just started dating today. You don't want to break up with me, do you?"
Azren dropped his dignity and started to act cutely as he kept rubbing his head on Michy's chest. He never hugged Michy this way before, but he quite enjoyed this position when he lowered his head so that he was nestling on the idol's chest now. He thought that if he acted submissively like this, the idol would relent and forgive his mistake.
And thankfully, the tsundere indeed fell into the demon's trap as he sighed and returned the hug. "Who is the top between us, Azren?"
Instead of answering the demon's question, Michy threw another question to the demon. The demon immediately pulled himself away from the boy and stared at the boy with a frown. "Do you think you still need to ask the question when the answer is already obvious?" He asked back instead of answering. "Of course, I'm the top here. I'm the one who always pinned you down, and you're the one who always moaned loudly when I kissed you."
It seemed Azren didn't realize that what he had just said hurt Michy's pride. The idol's face reddened, and he looked furious when he got up from his lying position and pinned Azren down at a light speed.
Azren was shocked, but he still let Michy hover above him. The strands of silver locks looked like a curtain that frame the idol's face when the idol looked down at him, and the sight was beyond majestic for him. Not to mention the afternoon rays that penetrated through the window. Michy looked like he was shining brightly under the orange rays.
"I'm pinning you down now. Is it enough to make me a top?"
It turned out Michy was still fighting for the top role, and Azren burst out laughing when he heard the innocent question. Without uttering any word, he reversed the position in the blink of an eye, and Michy was beneath him right now.
"You can try to pin me down again. If you can do that within five minutes, I will let you get the top role," Azren randomly challenged the young idol.
It was indeed just a random challenge, but it was his way to distract Michy from the disaster that happened today. Michy managed to display his calm self, but Azren was sure that the idol was just trying to be strong in front of him.
And perhaps his effort was successful because his challenge managed to wake the competitive sense in Michy. The idol was furious, and he tried to reverse their position to snatch the top role from Azren.
Unfortunately, the battle was not easy because Azren was indeed stronger than him. No matter how hard he tried, Azren still didn't budge, and instead, the demon was smirking at him.
"Time's up, my prince!" The demon exclaimed when the five minutes were up. "Whether you like it or not, I'm still your top."
Azren showed his domination, and Michy snorted at it. He was humiliated by his boyfriend, but he didn't say anything and just look away from his boyfriend.
The demon chuckled, but then he noticed that his phone on top of the nightstand vibrated again. Frowning in confusion, he then got up from Michy and reached out to his phone.
"It's a message from Felice," the demon informed the young idol.. "She said your uncle wanted to see you tomorrow."
