Sweet Little Boy

 "Wow, that's cool, thank you boss, buy more because Violet is here, She'll definitely like it."

"Who else is she, Violet? Did she join our movie night?" Jason asked.

"No boss, She'll be home soon"

Jason smiled, he didn't even greet Juwita who arrived and sat in front of him. The beautiful girl frowned when she saw Jason's face, which looked very cheerful and smiling broadly, a face she had never seen since she met him.

Soon, Jason finished and raised his head to see the young girl who was sitting neatly in front of him. Jason raised his hand for the waiter.

"Eh, excuse me, but I want to order another set of mochi, various flavors, without nuts, okay?"

It was very late at night when Jason returned to his apartment. He didn't expect that the road that night would be so chaotic that the journey of no more than an hour would turn into three hours stuck in traffic jams. After taking Juwita back to her house, Jason still had to accept Juwita's family's invitation to chat for a while before they finally let him go home, and it was already past midnight.

Klek.

Jason opened Val's bedroom door. Seeing the young man lying on his bed with the table lamp still on.

"Val" Jason slowly approached inside. Seeing Val sleeping carelessly and not even having time to cover his body with a blanket, while the cold air from the cooler in the room continued to roar.

"This kid"

The young man slept on his side with two arms folded to support his head. His face looked tired.

Jason smiled. Slowly reached for the blanket and covered Val's body, being careful not to wake him. Jason sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Val's very cute face. He can't help but smile. He patted Val's crown lightly.

Val who grew up so quickly, from a very cute kid, to a very handsome young man, yet sweet, at the same time, so adorable.

"Lets play!" exclaimed the young teenage children who brought out the donated balls that Mr. Tyus had just unloaded from the car. Jason was fifteen years old at the time. His grandfather, who was on duty outside the city, asked him to replace him in making donations to several orphanages outside the city of Argent and its surroundings. And at that time, Jason visited an orphanage located some distance outside the city.

In the small town of Karby. It was the first time he saw the sweet face of a seven year old child who was sitting alone in the corner of the room with a sad face. Wearing a gray beanie with curly hair sticking out slightly from the hat. A pair of slender eyes with red lips, At first glance, he looks like a sweet girl, but no, he is little Val, who lives in an orphanage after his parents died in a single accident, leaving himself, who at that time was too shocked to not even be able to talk.

For some time, Jason continued to come and watch him from a distance, because the kid was afraid of strangers and only wanted to talk to his nanny, Mrs. Jema. Until finally, Jason couldn't come anymore. The latest news was that the sweet child had been adopted by a family outside the city of Karby. That was very good news.

Jason saw him again, He didn't recognize him for a moment, but it was him, the little boy with the sweet face.

Jason accidentally touched Val's cheek, waking him up.

"Bos"

"Uh, sorry, did I wake you?" Jason whispered.

Jason was about to raise his hand but Val held him back, even holding his large hand with two cold palms.

"Boss, you're back"

But the young man didn't open his eyes, he continued sleeping while hugging his arms. Jason smiled.

"Well, I'm back. Forgive me, I'm late, the road was very congested, Did your friend wait long enough? I think the mochi will last until tomorrow, just give it to him in the morning," Jason whispered.

Val didn't answer immediately, it seemed he was so sleepy that Jason's words were either heard or not, but the young man nodded slowly.

"Yes boss, tomorrow will be fine, Tomorrow Vi will come again. Hey, Boss"

Jason smoothed Val's hair that was covering his eyes. He was so excited to see the young man sleeping, buthe kept answering him.

"Yeah, what's wrong Val"

"If, one day you'll get married, will you forget me? Then, can I still stay here?" he asked.

Jason was silent, until he smiled amusedly.

"He, what, Did I said I'm going to get married soon? Why do you ask like that?"

Val shifted, holding his hands up around Jason's upper arms as if he wouldn't let go, dropping his head on the large muscles sticking out of his white shirt.

"Yeah, because, you're dating now, right?"

Jason tugged at his lips, holding back the laugh that was already on the edge of his lips. He lowered his head to check Val, who was so fast asleep that his grip seemed to loosen, The kid was probably dreaming now.

"This brat"

Jason lowered his head, quietly stroked Val's forehead, brushed his hair back, and kissed it. Jason smiled, he had wanted to do this for a long time. He then tried to pull his hand out of Val's arms, turning off the reading lamp beside the table, which made the room suddenly dark. Jason was about to stand up from his seat when he heard Val's scream.

"Don't!"

Loud enough that the child woke up sitting in his bed.

"Val, what's wrong?" Jason asked. He was surprised when the child suddenly got up and hugged him.

"No, please don't!" His hug was so tight that it gripped his arm tightly.

"Val, what's wrong?"

Jason felt quite strong shaken in Val's body, the young man closed his eyes tightly and hugged him very tightly as if he was so afraid of something, his breathing sounded labored.

"Val"

Jason tried to get out of Val's arms and checked his face but the young man didn't let go. Jason finally turned on the reading lamp beside the bed to see Val more clearly, a moment after that, the young man began to calm down again.

Jason let go of Val's arms and checked the young man who had fallen asleep again and was slumped on his shoulder. Suddenly he calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"Val" he whispered to make sure whether he was really asleep or not. Lowering his head, he saw his face from a very close distance. Jason smiled, his lips were very close to Val's pink lips and slightly parted, showing his sweet front teeth like an adorable bunny, tempting him to keep coming closer. It wasn't his fault, if he continued to be drawn closer until he pressed his lips against that sweet lips, it wasn't his fault, if his lips accidentally kissed him lightly.

"Chup"

Jason smiled, blame it on his naughty lips.

"He"

"Um, Boss, the ice cream is delicious," Val cooed, grabbing Jason's hand and hugging him tighter.
