Nathan stirred, squinting as his eyes adjusted to the light filtering in from the window beside him.

His gaze sliced to Valentino's head rested beside him and he smiled small, looking towards their entwined hands.

He stared at him for a while, trailing his features under the sun, brows furrowed, hand moving to shade him.

But as quickly as it did, Valentino held it back, head snapping up to look at him, eyes wide and tinged with relief.

"You're awake."

Nathan nodded, smiling disappointedly.

  • Tied To The Wrong Brother    Chapter 57

    The lecture room was quiet, except for the professor's mechanical voice drifting through the air like its main goal was to put Nathan to sleep.The boy glanced round, eyes half-lidded, his head rested on his hand. Mikhail wasn't here. Elena, too.They must be busy.Their wedding would be right after the semester.He scoffed and shook his head.Why the rush?His gaze sliced back to his note and he continued writing. If it hadn't been for his exams that were around the corner, he would have ditched the class.His mind wandered to Valentino and a small smile crossed his lips.God, he couldn't wait to get this over with and go home. Home. His heart thumped. Valentino's house was now home.He never thought he'd miss being hospitalised so much.They had all the time in the world. His smile fell. Now...The professor soon rounded up his lecture and packed his bags. It was his final lecture for the semester. He wished them good luck on their exams then left.Nathan wasted no time.He reache

    "That's all?" Valentino asked as he placed the last bits of Nathan's belongings in a duffel bag.The boy's eyes darted round the room and a sigh slipped through his lips. He nodded, lips curved into a small smile."Let's go then." The man could not help but return the smile. He swung the bag on his shoulder and padded towards him."Let me carry that," said Nathan as he stared up at him. His wide eyes caught the light, sapphire-flecked irises sparkling with something that made Valentino's heart skip.Valentino's smile fell into something shy and he shook his head, unable to tear his gaze away.The boy scoffed, shooting him a glare.Then he stormed away, tousled hair bouncing with each step. Once he reached the door, he stopped and moved to the side, glancing expectantly at him.The man stared at him for a moment too long, before he closed the distance between them and slid the door open.A crisp 'tsk' dripped from Nathan's lips, but the small smile playing on his lips was hard to miss

    Valentino shifted, sighing as he nuzzled his head against Nathan's chest. A chill coursed down his spine when the boy's hand moved to his hair.His fingers threaded through his strands, warm tips gently brushing his scalp. Another sigh slipped through his lips and he smiled."Aren't you supposed to be working?" Nathan asked, sliding his hand to his nape.Valentino's brows furrowed, his chest tightening with discomfort. He reached for the boy's hand and guided it back to his hair.A smile crossed his lips as his heart thumped against his cheek. Faster. Harder. Than he thought was possible."Yes," he replied, fluttering his eyes close as Nathan's fingers resumed their massage. His ears pressed harder against his chest and he listened to his heart beat.It was music."Why are you here then?" Valentino didn't reply; he lifted his head just enough for their eyes to meet. Once he had his fill of that confusion-ladened gaze, he plopped his head on the boy's chest and nuzzled against it.As

    Nathan stood in the balcony, a hand rested on the metal railing, a smile across his face, his heart throbbing as he waved his parents goodbye.Valentino stood beside him.They slid into their car, pulled out of the curb, and his mother flashed them one last smile through the window, before they drove away.A soft sigh slipped through Nathan's lips and his hand fell to the railing.He inhaled sharply, when Valentino's hand slid to his waist and pulled him close, muscles tense as the sensation of his cold hand coursed through the thin fabric of his shirt.His eyes darted to the man. Their gaze lingered on his face for a moment too long, then it sliced to the bushes below.As they both watched the world below them, beneath the evening sun, in the chill breeze, snuggled up together, Nathan's mind wandered to those words.He hadn't meant to eavesdrop.But God was he glad he heard them.A warmth crept to his cheeks as they swirled in his mind, like they were there to stay. And he wasn't aga

    The hospital room was quiet. The kind of silence that tightened around Valentino's like a noose, heavy with unsaid words. Nathan's mother sat in the chair beside the bed, slicing some apples, while his father sat beside him in the couch by the window.Valentino glanced towards the man, fiddling with his fingers, his mind replaying the scene from earlier over and over.A memory that just might taunt him forever.His eyes darted to Nathan and the duo exchanged looks, brows furrowed awkwardly, then he looked away.How could he have been so careless?He knew they were coming.He'd planned accordingly. The smile he'd wear. The way he'd speak. The way he'd show his mother that he was the right person for Nathan despite his age.Valentino sighed, wincing internally.Nathan's mother wasn't upset as he'd thought she would be, instead it was his father whose glares were burning through him currently.He sliced his gaze to the man, immediately flicking it back to his fingers when their eyes met

    The afternoon sun hung high in clear blue sky, its rays filtering through the glass-paned window, across the sleek hospital room.Nathan was seated in the chair by the window, staring down at the bushes below and the people walking by.His heart raced beneath his ribs, dread creeping deeper into his chest. His parents were visiting today.He clutched his folded legs tighter, a shiver coursing through him as the warm, soft fabric of the blanket brushed his skin.The door slid open."Cheryl made you lunch."Nathan sighed softly, glancing towards Valentino. He placed his head on the sill and smiled lightly."What is it?"Valentino closed the door behind him and placed the flask on the table nearby. The boy watched, blinking slowly as he took off his coat and rolled his sleeves-something he'd never thought would make his stomach this warm. "Porridge."He groaned and the man chuckled, walking up to him, hair uncharacteristically slicked back and brown eyes like aged scotch whiskey twinkli

    "Two shots of espresso, four shots of frappuchino and cream," Nathan said, glancing at the menu board hanging from the ceiling."To-go?" The young female attendant asked, bright brown eyes shimmering as they looked up at him.He nodded.She smiled and scribbled the order on a pad of paper, then ges

    "What type of salt did you cook today?" Valentino asked, as his eyes swept across the plates, earning a fond glare from Nathan. The boy stifled a scoff, lowering himself on the seat across from him. "None," he replied, glancing up at the man. A small smile crossed his lips when their eyes, before

    One. Two. Three.The pictures came off the wall one after the other, except one. The one which Nathan and Mikhail had taken in front of their university.It would remain there—a tribute to his first love.He gathered the pictures he'd peeled off and placed them in the wooden basket, then he placed

    The sun had risen when Valentino finally woke up. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the sunlight pouring in from the window beside him.He furrowed his brows as he sat upright, wincing at the pang in his head. His eyes darted to his hand, widening slightly at the sight of Nathan's around it. T
