Chapter 62

"So how was your day?" Darian asked, going around to steal his daily dose of petting Jaxon’s hair.

Smiling, Jaxon recounted his activities after they left for their meeting, it wasn't a lot, mostly him cozying up to read his book and eat fruits.

But Darian was always so attentive and interested that it was easy to talk for hours.

"...rian? Darian?" He called out when he noticed that the other was out of it. "Are you good?" He asked with bleeding concern, looking him over thoroughly.

Darian blinked out of his thoughts, staring into Jaxon's eyes which seemed to pull him in.

"Yeah, just got distracted, sorry." He mumbled, rubbing a hand over his face.

"It's fine, do you want to take a nap?" He suggested, looking pleased with the idea of being the one doing the worrying.

That was the last thing Darian wanted to do, he didn’t want to be so far away from Jaxon just moments after he got back.
