Work Text:
"It sure has started to get chilly" alberu said as he closed the window to his office which was opened when cale and raon came in.
"mhm it sure has" cale sipped his tea and continued "warm tea really is the best for weather like this"
"and cookie too" raon fluttered his wings as he put some more cookies in his human's plate.
"can't you for once come in through the front door?" alberu said that but he would always open the window whenever cale notified him about their visit.
"i don't want people seeing me. i can't with the "young master silver shield" or "commander cale" thing. its too troublesome"
"yet you never mind troubling me" alberu got back to his desk and continued the work he was doing.
"your highness as you are the brightest sun of our-"
"STOP" alberu cut cale off. he did not want to listen to cale's glib words anymore than he already had.
"here you should have some cookie too crown prince. goldie gramps said one of these days you will end up with a permanent frown on your forehead" in the meantime raon had already flown over to the crown prince with cookies in his paws.
"pfft" cale let out a quite chuckle
"and whose fault do you think that it" alberu, of course heard cale's little chuckle.
cale just shrugged in response and continued drinking his tea and munch on his cookie
'this little bastard' alberu sighed internally as there was nothing he could do about this disrespectful dongsaeng of his.
"hey human, i was wondering" raon said while staring at his cookie
'oh this can't be good' cale had a thought. every time raon "wondered" something, nothing good had come out of it.
"... what are you wondering" cale asked him anyway
"what's a sugar daddy"
cough cough
alberu choked on his tea when he heard raon's question.
"are you alright crown prince? do you need some water?" raon sounded really concerned and was about to fly over to alberu
"no raon nim, i am alright. more importantly, cale. is he even breathing?"
"what" raon turned to look at cale who was frozen stiff in that couch.
"hey human, are you alright?" raon was really concerned as he looked at cale's face which was now even more pale than usual.
"raon" cale finally snapped out and called raon
"yes yes human"
"where the hell did you hear that word" cale did not even care about his choice of word
"i heard cage talking to hannah. and and she referred to the crown prince as your sugar daddy"
'that damn crazy priestess' cale wanted to swear out loud but he held back this time. everybody knew about his relationship with alberu at this point but they still hadn't told the children about it. on probably had noticed something but hong and raon were still clueless as they were still young.
"hooo interesting. go on cale, raon nim is curious, you should at least answer him" alberu had a very mischievous look on his face that clearly said 'you reap what you sow'
cale glared at alberu.
alberu glared back.
'and you have explanation to do afterwards'
'tch'
they were conversing with their eyes.
raon, who had no idea what was going on asked his human again, " is it like some new race where the father is coated in sugar?"
"heeh"
cale turned to the direction where he heard someone's snickering and saw alberu cover his face with his arms
'you sure are enjoying this aren't you' is what his eyes that headed towards alberu's direction were saying
'i sure am' alberu responded with a snicker
"what's wrong human? did i get it right? are they really fathers coated in sugar? do they taste sweet"
"no.. its not that" cale was still thinking on how to answer this 6 years old dragon's question.
"then?"
"well they are like... well.. someone who gives you money and food and spoils you but in like other sense" cale hesitated a bit on how to explain the last part
'gives you money and takes care of you'
"yes yes human i understand now" raon fluttered his wings with joy
"really?"
"yes you are my sugar daddy human"
"what the fuc... haaaa" cale again almost let out a swear.
'how the fuck did he get to that conclusion'
Pwahahaha.
in the meantime, alberu’s laughter hit Cale’s ears like background music. he wasn't even trying to hide his amusement anymore.
"i mean human you give me allowance and tasty food and sometimes also carry me in your arms and take care of me" raon who looked overjoyed continued his explanation.
"yes but that and this are diferent"
"how?" raon tilted his head in confusion
"yes how cale" adding to cale's misery, alberu also chimed in.
'my poor life' cale sighed internally.
"raon why don't you ask eruhaben nim. i bet he knows better than me"
"that is also a good idea, i will go and ask right away" raon immediately cast a teleportation spell and disappeared
"hey.. what... about.... me? and he is gone" cale watched raon disappeared in the bright light
"so" alberu was already standing in front of cale now. "we need to talk"
cale took a few step back and suddenly stumbled on the chair and sat down.
as cale was avoiding alberu's eyes, alberu leaned more and more towards cale and put his hands on both side of the chair's arm rest with an intend of not letting cale henituse escape.
"look at me my dear dongsaeng" alberu slowly put his hands on cale's chin and turned his head so that they would be facing each other.
"so i am your sugar daddy huh" alberu twisted his lips forming a smirk
"aha haha" cale let out a nervous laugh
'that damn crazy priestess'
right now cale wanted to be anywhere but here
"answer me my dear dongsaeng"
"well you know cage. she is a crazy prietess"
"she is not my concern right now"
"of.. of course"
'somebody take me away'
"you know" alberu leaned even more towards cale. as the gap between the two of them narrowed, cale could feel himself slipping down the chair
"i think this sugar daddy deserves some treat too"
"whaa" cale could see it in alberu's face just how much he was enjoying this situation.
'so thats how you wanna play huh'
cale then grabbed alberu by the collar and pulled him in
"i guess you are right, hyung nim deserves a treat for his hard work too"
"wai... oi.."
cale smirked as he watched alberu getting flustered.
'well this is easy'
cale pulled alberu closer and closer until their faces were a breath away
"enjoy your treat your highness" just when cale was about to press his lips on alberu's, with a sudden bright light, a black blob appeared in the air and shouted
"human human goldie gramps said..."
cale was so startled that he pushed alberu away as hard as he could which made alberu stumble and fall down
"hey human what are you doing? are you and crown prince fighting? don't fight. you must not fight with him. he is strong" raon said in a worried voice
"no we are not fighting"
'did he just assume i would lose to a fight with his highness'
"yeah cale explain" alberu added while jerking his head.
"that.. that i was just startled"
"its good that you are not fighting"
"so what did eruhaben nim say?"
"goldie gramps told me that those words are only used by adults and i should wait until i become one. so i will wait because i am a great and mighty dragon"
'he gave it to him straight. that's our eruhaben nim i guess' both cale and alberu had the same thought.
"that's also true." cale nodded in agreement
"oh he also said he wants to talk to you"
"aigooo"
"yeah cale you should go have a talk. maybe its something important"
cale looked at alberu who had a face that said 'serves you right'
"goldie gramps said he wants to talk to you too crown prince"
"m.. me too??"
with an 'uh huh' raon nodded his head
"heh"
alberu saw cale sneer
'this damn bastard'
cale had a face that said 'if i am gong to hell, i am dragging you down with me'
tch
alberu clicked his tongue as they walk inside the teleportation circle raon had already cast.
