Chapter 126 - A New Crush (part Two)

Ander held his breath in anticipation. He wasn't sure what he was waiting for Royan to do. It was confusing to him.

"What are you thinking about?" Royan sighed the question to him. No matter how much he shook him, it was impossible for him to get Ander's attention from whatever he was thinking of that he was so lost.

"Let's talk at home then," he said and stopped a cab for them. He helped the dazed dragon into the cab and informed the driver of where to go.

He glanced out the window, it was hard to ignore the urge to kill Ander when the boy was so close to him.

"Staring at me like that without a word might make me think that you like me," he stated.

Ander's ears that were malfunctioning ignored the whole sentence only hearing the like and you in the sentence. It was what his heart wanted to her for some reason and all else was blocked out. His heart was racing in his heart, hearing those words from his lips.

It was different from when Avan complimented him. It felt nice to hear Avan say nice things about him but just a word from Royan and his heart and mind went crazy.

It was as though his heart knew something that he himself was unaware of and that made it difficult for him to control his heart. How do you tell your heart to get under control when you don't understand what is controlling it.

"Wont you say something?" Royan asked turning his head to look at Ander in the eyes.

Ander forgot to breath, it was captivating to be lost in his beautiful blue eyes. It was only a glance but it felt like he was lost in the clear blue sky that promised nothing but peace and serenity.

The peace and serenity that he yearned for at the moment in his life. For the first time in his life he was experiencing a lot of first in just this meeting. He had never been that calm or at peace in his life.

Royan was like a breath of fresh air in his life, one that took all his worries away with just his presence. Deep in his heart he wished to always be by his side, need not a tag on their relationship. All he wanted was a chance to relax.

"I will go mad if you have me speak to myself all the time. Say something Ander," he whined to the boy.

His voice sounded a little irritated but to the dragon it was the most calming thing he had ever had. It set his racing heart to rest causing him to let go of all his troubles and just stare at him.

"We are here," the driver informed.

Royal took out the fare money from his pocket and paid the cab driver. He exited the car bring the dragon with him. He felt like a kidnapper bring Ander to his home since the boy was out of it.

He was greeted by servants by the door, "Make me two cups of cold coffee and some pancakes," he ordered pulling Ander with him passed the servants.

The servants of the house remained frozen in place shocked by the scene before them. The son of the house came home with a person which had never happened in years.

He took the liberty to hold the boy's hand when all knew that he hated any form of contact with other's. Even his only family had to keep a distance from him or else they would face his rage.

They were speechless of what they saw and couldn't believe their eyes. It was a miracle that he had even spoken to them in words.

All the servants in the house had to learn sign language as he found it tiring to use words to talk. And over time they learnt his routine that he needed not talk or use sign language to give orders.

"This is my room," Royan announced letting him inside the room.

Ander's mind was not in the room at all. His eyes were on Royan's hand that held his. It felt so warm and comforting, he wished to always be held by him.

Suddenly the feeling disappeared when Royan let his hand go. "Why?" he let out.

Royan raised his eyebrows to him, "Why what?" he asked curiously. It was cute to see the disappointed look on Ander's face. He looked like a cute child that had been denied candy.

"N..nothing," Ander said getting some of his senses back. Coming to his senses he noticed the change in scenery. He remembered being on the road, but now he was standing in a well furnished room.

A huge king sized bed was in the room that was spread with white sheets. The pillows on the bed had a blue pillow cases on them. The bedside tables had a lamp that was part watch and part lamp that was blue in colour.

There was a study table by the window with a screen that Molly the girl whose house they lived called laptop. He had no idea what a laptop was but for some reason everyone felt the need to have it.

Opposite the bed was an even bigger screen with a complete table set where one can seat and watch things from the screen. Things like videos, a magic in this place that traps people actions in those screen things for others to watch. Not that he would ever want someone to trap him with those things.

"Where am I?" he asked after taking in the room. He averted his eyes from the room and watched Royan take off his shoes. Feeling it as rude to enter someone's room with his own shoes, he took off his shoes.

His feet touched the soft fluff carpet on the floor, it felt like walking on clouds. Unlike the rough carpets back in Arimelari.

He closed his eyes and let himself drown in the good feeling of having stepped in heaven. A smile bloomed in his face as he did so. 'I could get used to this,' he thought in his mind.

"Cute," Royan said watching him. Since he was a dragon with a very sensitive ear, he heard the compliment. His cheeks turned a dark shed of red having being called cute. "We are in my house, I thought you should the house I was offering before you decide," he said answering the previously asked question.

"You are so kind, I don't know how I will ever be able to repay your kindness," Ander let out walking towards him. He took a seat right next to Royan on the sofa.

He laid his head back enjoying the softness of the seat, it was like like seating on feathers. 'Life here is so good. Why didn't I come here sooner?' he asked in his mind.

He made himself more comfortable on the seat very aware of the gaze from the male by his side. He knew that his reactions made him look foolish but he couldn't help himself. It was just too good to seat in the chair. His body could get used to such softness.

"I see you like my chair very much," Royan attempted to start a conversation.

"I..its s..so soft," he said in reply. Biting the inside of his mouth, he scolded himself for stuttering. It was annoying to do something that he wasn't used to repeatedly. Having to stutter each time she attempted to say something to Royan was embarrassing not to mention degrading for a king.

"Don't be embarrassed, I like your stutter a lot," Royan said.

Ander was lost; he had no idea whether he wanted for the man to stop saying the word like or for him to continue. Everytime the male uttered that word from his lips, Ander's heart started racing in his chest. He liked it but he feared dying of a heart attack if it continued.

He couldn't count with his fingers the number of times his heart reacted like that for the stranger he had just met. The sorcery or the charm the male had cast on him was beyond him.

He thought that he could stop reacting if he thought of Avan. But each time his mind tried to picture Avan, he would only see Royan's face in his head.

"If you don't like me complimenting you then I will stop," Royan informed noticing the frown and disturbed look on Ander's face.

"N..no d..dont stop," Ander said immediately seating up from the sofa and shaking his hand in front of Royan.

Royan smirked at his cute behaviour. It was sweet the way Ander reacted to his every words. He had no idea why a part of him wanted to kill such a cute and innocent boy. He was completely harmless and was easily dazed by little things.

He felt the need to protect and care for Ander than to harm him. Which was weird to him since he hated being close to others. But for some reason, he body accepted Ander.

Rotan thought, unknown to him the true nature of the boy he considered harmless.
