Beneath the Surface: Secrets of an Obsessed Heart-Chapter 66 - 65

Raiden turned and saw the girl going out through the back door and a small smile appeared on his face at the thought of Hiro being jealous. He wondered, was Hiro developing feelings for him already? Raiden thought that it was too early for that since Hiro had spent a lot of years despising him but he just couldn’t help it. The thought scared but excited him at the same time.

"Oh, she was just taking my order." He said turning back to Hiro. He badly wanted to tease him about it but he felt it was too soon and knowing Hiro, he would say something that would ruin his mood so he just decided to explain. "I was telling her about you and how much you love ice cream. Especially strawberry and vanilla, so she decided make us their special sundae supreme." He pulled the ice cream closer. "Which is already melting."

Hiro suddenly felt bad for thinking Raiden was flirting with the girl. Not that it was any of his business but he still felt some type of way. "Is that why you took so long?" he asked.

"Well, that, and I also added that you’re my boyfriend so she wanted to make it extra special." Raiden said, his smile turning into a wide grin as he realised he could make one of his fantasies come true. "Here, try some." He scooped a small part of the strawberry ice cream and held the spoon to Hiro’s lips before Hiro could say anything.

As if he was under a spell, Hiro parted his lips immediately. The turbulent emotions, his wild thoughts, and all the questions he had generated due to his conversation with Shoji flew out of his brain when the cold, creamy and sweet treat made contact with his tongue. The taste reminded him of lazy summer afternoons spent with his mum and sister in the kitchen, where they would whip up batches of their famous homemade ice cream.

Unable to resist the allure of the creamy confection, he cast a longing glance at the glass, silently pleading for more.

Raiden could already see unspoken desire in Hiro’s beautiful eyes. He chuckled as he took another spoonful of ice cream. "Your wish is my command."

As Hiro’s lips parted to accept the spoonful from Raiden, he couldn’t shake the faint blush that tinted his cheeks. A part of him couldn’t help but wonder if they were being watched since they were in public but he couldn’t check for his eyes were on Raiden the whole time, unable to tear his gaze away even for a moment.

Raiden on the other hand, was on cloud nine. He had imagined feeding Hiro stuff like this so many times. Though he had always imagined Hiro on his lap while doing it, it didn’t matter for the present moment could suffice. There would be many other opportunities. Still, he couldn’t resist the urge to playfully tease Hiro. frёeωebɳovel.com

With a mischievous glint in his eye, as Hiro parted his lips to accept another spoonful of the creamy treat, Raiden seized the opportunity and with a swift and subtle motion, he lightly grazed Hiro’s upper lip with the spoon, smearing a small dollop of the sweet ice cream. A playful smirk danced across his lips as he pulled back, admiring his handiwork with a sense of satisfaction.

Hiro’s eyes widened in surprise. Was Raiden playing with him? He pursed his lips then stuck out his tongue to lick away the creamy treat when Raiden intervened, smearing another dollop of ice cream all over his lips.

"Raiden!" he gasped, as he felt the cool, velvety texture spread across his skin. He shot Raiden a glare, to which Raiden burst out laughing. Hiro was so cute. So so cute. He knew Hiro was annoyed but he couldn’t suppress the laughter bubbling up from deep within him. Hiro was lucky they were in public. If not, the ice cream would not only be on his lips but on other parts of his body too. He made a mental note to stock up their fridge with ice cream. All the flavours. Even the chunky ones. It would be so fun to feel Hiro squirm in his arms.

Hiro huffed and reached for the napkin to tidy up his mouth when Raiden’s swift and gentle touch intercepted his movement. A soft yet firm grip enveloped Hiro’s chin, halting him in his tracks. "Allow me," Raiden whispered softly and Hiro felt a sudden warmth and wetness on his lips.

His breath caught in his throat as he felt Raiden’s warm tongue glide across his lips, licking the ice cream and making sure there was nothing left. Raiden also made sure to peck him on the lips before pulling back with a satisfied smirk.

Hiro went completely red. His face, his ears, even his neck, all went a lovely shade of crimson and Raiden was absolutely delighted.

"W-Why did you do that?" he heard Hiro stutter softly. "I could have cleaned it myself."

Raiden chuckled. "I made the mess, didn’t I? It’s only right that I clean up."

"B-But we’re in public!" Hiro protested, discreetly checking to see if anyone was looking at them but Raiden caught his chin, turning his head so Hiro could only look at him.

"Your focus should be on me alone, Hiro. Your boyfriend." He said, pecking Hiro on the lips once more. "Do not care about anything else." Besides, they were at the far back of the shop, in an area not many eyes would quickly go to.

As Hiro’s gaze met Raiden’s, he couldn’t help but be mesmerized by Raiden’s undeniable handsomeness. His features seemed sculpted by an artist’s hand, each angle and curve perfectly harmonized to create a captivating allure.

But it was Raiden’s eyes that held Hiro in thrall. Deep and expressive, they seemed to hold the secrets of the universe within their depths. They had an arresting quality, drawing Hiro in like a moth to a flame. He could feel his heartbeat quicken.

He couldn’t help but think that Raiden was handsome. Really handsome. How had he never noticed?

Raiden continued to feed Hiro ice cream while occasionally taking a few spoons himself. His carefree manner and unwavering attention erased all of Hiro’s concerns about their surroundings. It was as though they existed in a world of their own, insulated from the prying eyes of onlookers.

Hiro found himself forgetting about the bustling café around them, the murmurs of other patrons fading into the background. All that remained was the gentle touch of Raiden’s hand guiding the spoon to his lips.
