NINE QUESTIONS
"This is so nice!" June said as he stretched and flopped on the park bench.
Noah chuckled and sat next to June, "Walks like this always refreshes your mind."
After their dinner, Noah offered for a walk around the park. They had been walking for twenty minutes, enjoying the cold autumn air and the crunches of those dry orange leaves which was scattered around the path.
June breathed in deeply and nodded his head, "You are right, I feel so refreshed, right now."
Both of them stayed quietly, the distant chattering of people in the park fading into their ears as June and Noah enjoyed the silence between them.
Noah glanced at June, and his smile widen immediately, June's butterscotch hair was wind tousled and those blue eyes looking darker under the streetlight. His plump lips were playing a small smile and Noah had the sudden urge to run his thumb over the lips.
How can someone look so good?

June looked at Noah and caught him staring at him. He smiled and Noah looked away his cheeks truning red.
"Noah, let's continue our game from last time," June said.
Noah raised his eyebrows, "What game?"
"You offered to play ten questions when we first met, you remember?",
June asked.Understand dawned Noah's handsome face, "Oh."
"We already asked a question each so, we have nine questions left, you wanna go first?", June offered.
Noah nodded and rubbed the back of his neck, "How...how did you and Clover met?"
"We were classmates during high school," June easily answered, scanning through the previous owner's memories, "She asked me out. Later she confessed that it was love at first sight."
"Can't blame her," Noah said under his breath. June was good looking. Who wouldn't fall for him?1
"What?" June asked, not hearing Noah.
Noah shook his head, "It's nothing. Your turn, ask me a question."
June pursed his lips, "You are the youngest son of your family but isn't it the oldest who actually inherits the company?"
Noah shrugged, "My older brother Chris is one of the board members and the head of the design department," he took out his phone and scrolled through the gallery. Noah showed a photo of his brother to June.
A tall man around his late twenties was smiling back at June, he looked exactly like Noah, handsome, tall and muscular with hallow cheeks and a jaw that could cut wood. But Chris had blond hair and dark eyes.
"He's Chris," Noah said and looked back at the phone.
He then showed June another picture of a man who was smirking at the camera, the man looked exactly like Chris but he was not muscular. He was lean and tall, he was wearing a white tank top. His left biceps was overed with tattoos of dark roses which reached to the nape of his neck.
"He's Jason.Chris and him are twins. But Jason isn't interested in the company, he has a band."
June nodded his head in understanding. The pervious owner of the body had no information about Noah, "So you got the company?"
Noah locked his phone, "Well, you could say that."
June looked at Noah, "Your turn."
"What do you think about man liking man?", Noah asked with a straight face.
June blinked, "Yo- you mean what I think about gays?"
Noah nodded intently.
June shrugged, "I see no harm in loving whoever you want," he gave Noah a knowing smile, "Do you like someone?"
Noah looked surprised at the sudden question and looked away from June, "I am...progressing my feelings."
June laughed, "Do tell me who that person is."
You, Noah thought.
"So, why did you chose to be a writer? They way I see it you are struggling quite a lot." Noah asked, hoping to change the topic.
June scratched his cheeks, "Well, I have always loved reading books since I was young. I loved the feeling I felt when I read a book. I would think to myself that writers are really cool for making their reader feel different emotions. And I wanted to be one."
"Awww," Noah said and tousled June's hair. June slapped away Noah's hand.
"Don't ruin my hair style," June snapped.
Noah chuckled, but lunged himself at June and began to mess with his hair.
"Noah!" June shrieked, as he tried to fight him off, but Noah was stronger than him. In the end June was pinned on the bench, he was under Noah and between his legs. June's arms was pinned over his head.
June was just glad that there were no runners around.
"Let me go," June panted.
Noah just chuckled deeply, "Ask me a question."
"L-like this?"
Noah nodded.
June truned red, he avoided Noah's eyes as he muttered his question, "Why didn't you leave?"
Noah's eyebrows furrowed, "What?"
June looked at Noah,"When you first slept at my place," June explained. "You woke up before me. You would have just walked away bu-but you didn't instead you stayed back and made breakfast for us. Why?"
Noah kept silent, he looked at June feeling himself get lost in the blue. He had asked himself that question quite a few times and justified it as a gesture of gratitude towards June for letting him sleep. But deep down he knew it was not the truth.
Noah leaned down and bought his lips over June's ear and wisphered his true thoughts,"I thought that if I left without talking with you. I would never see you again. And I hated that thought."

It was barely audiable but June heard it. Colour rushed through his cheeks as June once again avoided Noah's eyes.
A distance barking snapped Noah out of his trance and he quickly released June from his hold and straighten up.
He cleared his throat, "It's quite late. We...we should go home."
June got up, "Noah," he softly called
Noah looked at June, "Hmm?"
June smiled , "I am glad you didn't left that time."
Noah would hear nothing but his own heart beat as his brain took in June's smiling face and his words. Noah buried them deep deep in his heart and mind.
That's when Noah came to a conclusion.
He liked June.
A little more than friends.

MORNING KISSEWhen the doorbell rang, June placed his laptop on the coffee table and opened the door.A tired looking Noah smiled at June. His usually slicked back dark hair looked messy. His grey eyes looked dull and there were dark circles beneath his eyes."Hey," June spoke slowly as he opened the door wider, "What happened? You look terrible.""I am so tired," Noah muttered as he closed the door behind him. He eyed June's small shoulder and immediately rested his forehead on it.June stiffen slightly at the contact but then relaxed slowly. He ran his small hand over Noah's back and muttered, "What is it?""I hate my work," Noah muttered, he paused,fuck it,he thought, "And I missed you." He added.He felt June slap his bicep lightly. "Hooligan," June muttered but
"HOW?"Clover Xiao walked out of the White Sawn hotel after a meeting when a pair of men caught her eyes.She quickly instructed her assistant to bring the car. When her assistant was out of sight, she took off her shades and looked closely.Her lips parted in surprise when she saw Noah Zhang in a causal clothing, holding several shopping bags, with the last person she expected–June Weng who was empty handed.They stood by the bus stop opposite to the White Sawn hotel. June giggled at something Noah said. Clover couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene infront of her.Her mouth hanged open in shocked when Noah looked around and quickly leaned and pecked June's lips, who turned red and slapped a smug looking Noah's arm.Seeing her future fiancee with s
HE KNOWSJune felt Noah's arms around him tighten. It was almost afternoon but they were still in bed. June buried himself deeper in Noah's chest, taking in his scent. Noah placed his chin on top of June's head and closed his eyes.June wouldn't feel his lower body and remembered what happened yesterday. He felt himself go red. Despite the pain, he shuffled slightly, and planted a soft kiss on Noah's lower jaw. Noah hummed contently and he kissed June's head again, his soft hair tickling Noah lightly.June licked his lips, he knew they were both stalling the conversation they need to have after the incident with Clover. June was thankful that Clover didn't pulled a very dirty trick but he can never be sure."Noah?" June spoke his name softly.Noah pulled June closer and hummed in response.
STAY AWAY FROM USNoah opened his closet and began to pack his clothes. He had made up his mind. He was going to–"Noah...?"Noah whipped his head and saw his elder brother by the bedroom door."Chris? What are you doing here?"Chris' jet black eyes stared at the luggage and clothes on Noah's hands, "A...are you gonna go somewhere?"Noah licked his lips, "I..." H let out a sigh and ran his hand over his hair."Close the door."Chris closed the door. He gave Noah a worried look and sat at the edge of the bed, "What's wrong?"Chris would have inherit the company but he was just assigned as the head of the design department, yet he never held a grudge against Noah and schemed against him. Instead Chris was always there for him and supported him.Chris
CHRISTMAS MIRACLENoah looked at his watch. It was almost twelve, June must be waiting for him. He took in a deep breath and knocked his father's study room."Come in."Noah opened the door and found his dad– Michael Zang sitting by his desk on the blood red arm chair reading a book. His dark hair was slicked back and there was a streak of grey on both side of his temples. His equally dark eyes were lazily travelling through the printed words of the book."Dad, I want to talk about something."Without looking up, Michael absently nodded.Noah licked his lips, "I want to resign from the company."Michael looked sharply at his son and narrowed his eyes, "What nonsense are you spouting, Noah?""You heard me," Noah said, his voice firm, "I want to resign, I don't want to work for Zang c

MORE FORBIDDEN KIND OF LOVE It had been a long day. Ever since Seth vanished leaving nothing but a trail of black smoke and some of his feathers behind. June had been hovering over Coral all day. He had just finished casting a protection array around Coral's apartment building when he saw a suspicious person walking towards the building Coral lived in. June scooped down and landed on the ground. He followed the person. He was sure it was not a human since their aura looked different from normal human. โAngel, quit the stalkerish behavior,โ the person chuckled and turned behind to smile at June. Seth was in his human form. He looked the same expect he didnโt had any horns and wings. He was wearing dark jeans with a black leather jacket. June narrowed his eyes at him. โWhy are you in
SUNSHINE SMILES June frowned at the virtual screen which showed a blue and red dot together. He flew towards his destination and saw that Seth was in his human form and was talking with Coral. Seth saw June from the corner of his eyes and secretly smiled. June started casting good luck spells over Coral as he ignored Sethโs occasional smile. June was doubtful that Seth was trying to be friendly and smile at him. He was sure Seth was up to something so he made sure to cast some more stronger good luck spells he had learned. As soon as he was done, Coral let out a shout of surprise. Coral and Seth were walking through a building which was under construction. A large block of brick had nearly hit her. โCoral!โ Seth exclaimed, immediately faking his concern, โAre you okay?โHe gripped her arms and p
