Chapter 30: Fire

"How many times do I have to tell you that the drug that inhibits the vesicle in the synthesis of Tyrosine is Reserpine?"

Aiden flinches away as he listens to Primo's scolding. They have been studying the same topic for almost an hour now but Aiden can't wrap his mind on the topic itself.

"Why are you so distracted?"

Aiden blushes profusely as he stares at Primo and shutting his mouth up before he could say anything embarrassing to Primo. If he is Daime, Aiden had probably done with this lesson.

The problem is Aiden being distracted by Primo's voice.

It was so deep and raspy that Aiden can only think himself bending down in front of him while he whispers sweet nothings to him.

"You and Daime are just talking about me earlier, why are you being so distracted now?"

Primo sighs as he massages his temples and stares at Aiden being distracted again. He doesn't know why he is being distracted when the boy is the one who asked him to teach him the lesson that he missed.

He hears the door opening, revealing Daime while holding a tray of food and two cans of soda. Daime looks at them before he snickers a laughter.

He puts the tray of food on the counter as he laughs out loud, leaving Primo scoffing away from him.

"What the heck?"

Daime can only curse as he laughs away, making Aiden looks at him with curiosity. Daime is holding his abdomen as he bends down laughing with all his might.

"No wonder he is being distracted for almost an hour."

Primo sighs as he looks back to his cousin, who is still laughing his ass off. Daime laughs louder when he heard that they have been studying the same topic for almost an hour.

He can't believe that Primo could not read the situation before scolding Aiden. Primo clears his throat before calling out Aiden's name with his deep baritone voice.

"Aiden."

Aiden snaps towards him while Daime sneaks behind him. Primo leans forward the table as he puts his chin on top of his hands, drawing his face towards Aiden's direction.

"What are you thinking while we are studying?"

Aiden is taken aback by the question. He doesn't have time to prepare for an answer. He doesn't know what to say.

He gulps and looks away from Primo. From the back, Daime draw his large hands and cups Aiden's chin, forcing him to look at Primo's direction.

"Aiden, answer me. I am just asking you a simple question."

Aiden looks scared in front of Primo. He squirms down in an attempt to hide away but Daime is already pressing his body against the small table, locking him in place.

Aiden gulps visibly. This is the first time he had been scared in front of large guys. Back at the organization, guys like Primo and Daime were the one scared of him.

But that is not the case now.

He is cornered by two large guys that happened to court him. He doesn't know what to do. His mind is screaming "help" but his body is screaming "more".

He doesn't know which one to pick.

When Primo looks at how Aiden is struggling, he draws back and Daime lets go of Aiden's chin. The latter pats Aiden's back and stands up from behind him.

He takes the tray of food to their table and walks out of the room. Primo did the same thing but before he walks out of the room, Primo leans forward and ruffles Aiden's unruly hair.

"Scan the notes again and call me if you did not understand anything."

Aiden is left in the room with a stunned expression and a confused heart. He can't believe that something like that can happen. He felt himself going crazy while they are doing what they had done.

"Am I even ready for something like that? I felt as if my heart is going to jump out of my chest."

He holds his chest and breathes out slowly. Now, he is thinking that maybe he just received much more than what he bargained for.

"Oh my God."

His eyes widen in realization as the idea of them making him feel good. He tries to shake the idea but the possibility is still there.

He is so nervous.

He looks at his notes and tries to write as many as he can to remove the idea on his mind. Averting his every bit of attention away from that topic.

"They will be the death of me. I'm scared."

The night came by as Primo and Daime help each other as they cook their dinner. Drax texted Daime that Jasmine won't be home until the very next week, clearly saying that the two cousins need to take care of Aiden for the whole week.

Primo told Daime to just reply yes to their other cousin then go back to cooking dinner since it is already six in the evening. They need to be done before seven or Aiden would miss his meals.

Daime nods and starts cooking once again. While cooking, Daime can't feel but feel excited for staying in the apartment.

It might sounds perverted or lewd but for him, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Primo watches him cook and smiles to himself.

"Are you bringing one?"

Daime stops mincing the garlic and onions and turns his head towards Primo's direction. He looks at him with a confused expression.

But when the realization hits him, his eyes widen in surprise and almost stab Primo from the back. But now, thinking about it. He actually does.

"I know you did. I saw you at the convenience store earlier."

Daime glares at him before looking away. He doesn't know why but, he indeed brought one. Earlier while buying his coffee at a convenience store, he looks upon the counter and sees the boxes with different brands.

He subconsciously picks one and paid at the counter while the lady is looking at him with a blush on her face.

Daime doesn't care because it is not the first time.

"Shut up. I had to remember when you asked me to buy a whole box of those tiny boxes at the pharmacy, one time. It was so embarrassing that even the Pharmacist blushes alongside me.

Good thing that I wear a mask before going in there!"

Primo laughs at the memory before going back to stirring the big pot that Miss Ruby provides them. Daime snarls at him as he goes back to mincing the onions and garlic before putting them in a hot pan.

Moments of silence surrounds the whole kitchen until Primo breaks it with a heartwarming revelation.

"I have a whole box of it."

Daime almost had a heart attack by what Primo had just said. He cusses at him but the fight disperses when Aiden went out of his room with his unruly hair.

He clearly slept throughout his review, which made Primo smiles at the sight. Daime whispers something to him, in which Primo only replied with a snarky answer.

"Can you even?"
