Drip...
Water dripped from the green hair of a young man who was sitting in a bathtub. He sat silently, hugging his legs and resting his chin on his knees, feeling nostalgic for many things.
He daydreamed, missing his parents who lived in another city, even though he had only recently arrived in this big city.
However, he already misses his father and mother because since childhood he has always been spoiled by them. Julian realizes that he has always wanted to go to the big city and see many things.
It turned out that it wasn't easy. He even had to part with his parents, who always loved him.
"I miss my mommy's cooking. I miss hearing my dad fixing things in the morning with his drill and hammer. I miss my soft mattress and my comfortable room," he said to himself.
Although he always looked cheerful, in his heart he missed the home where he grew up.
But at the same time, he also remembered his conversation with Arcane a few days ago about the man's family.
"He said he lived with an old woman who owned a small restaurant, even after his mother died. He paid for his own living expenses? So he was used to doing everything on his own," he muttered, feeling impressed when he first heard about it.
However, one question came to Julian's mind at that moment. Where was Arcane's father? Had he also passed away long ago, or did Arcane himself not know who his father was?
He hadn't heard anything about it, and he felt he would just wait until Arcane himself told him.
While Julian was thinking about all this, suddenly the bathroom door opened, startling him with Arcane's appearance.
"What are you doing here?! Don't you know I'm taking a bath!" he asked frantically, trying to cover himself with a red face.
Arcane looked confused by Julian's reaction. Especially when he saw the math teacher's naked body. Only a towel was wrapped around his waist.
"You don't need to cover yourself like that because I already know the structure of a man's body. Considering that I am also a man. Besides, you don't need to feel embarrassed because we are both men," he said, then removed the towel wrapped around his waist.
Julian's eyes widened when he saw Arcane's cock. It was quite large and thick, visible between his legs.
Realizing that Julian was staring at him, he made a comment that made the man even more embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Are you imagining my cock inside you?" he asked teasingly.
"What? N-no! I'm not imagining something that embarrassing! Besides, why would I imagine that?" He turned his increasingly red face away.
"Ahahaha... Right." Without saying anything else, Arcane turned on the shower next to the bathtub. He seemed to be cleaning himself up after a tiring day of teaching.
Julian, who was embarrassed at first, began to get used to it and sat back down, hugging himself. It was obvious that he was thinking about something, which made Arcane ask him a question while shampooing his hair.
"Looks like someone is homesick. You miss your home, don't you?" he asked.
He answered with a nod. "Yes. I miss my family quite a bit. I used to spend time with my dad going fishing or playing basketball. Then when my dad and I came home from fishing and forgot the time, my mom would scold us both."
Julian explained that when he got home, there would always be warm food from his mother waiting for him. Although his parents were quite overprotective of him, he never felt restricted at all and now missed every scolding from his mother.
His eyes lowered as he said all that. Sometimes he often didn't follow what his parents said, feeling so free when he was finally away from them.
But suddenly he realized he had said all that in front of Arcane.
"I'm sorry, I must sound like a silly and spoiled person for saying all this to you," said Julian, remembering that his husband had a more difficult life than him.
But he was complaining about trivial matters.
"It's okay. Besides, I'm an adult and can live independently. Unlike you," Arcane replied as he got into the bathtub and sat in front of him.
"I'm an adult too! I'm 22 years old, that means I'm an adult, right?" The young man tried to protest, but was met with a shake of the head from the person in front of him.
In his opinion, Julian was still like a mature teenager who was learning to be an adult. Far from his parents and trying to survive on his own in a big city. But luckily, Julian could still live in Arcane's house.
"It's normal and it's okay to miss your home. You can call them and ask how they are doing there. But you have to know, you have to learn to live on your own two feet. Your parents won't always be there for you," Arcane explained.
Hearing that, Julian felt that what Arcane said was true. He was an adult now and had to be able to do everything on his own. It's okay to ask for help, but at least he couldn't keep relying on others.
"You're right. Maybe I'll try calling them and make sure they're okay."
"Good, that's your first step." Playfully, her eyes glanced into the bathtub and saw Julian's manhood. "Heh, it's small."
The atmosphere, which had previously felt sad, turned embarrassing but so warm and relaxed.
"DON'T MAKE RIDICULOUS COMMENTS!"
*****
Julian chuckled as he talked to his mother on the phone. He seemed happy to hear his mother's voice again, asking about his health and whether Julian was eating well or not.
"I'm fine! Marshal always helps me buy food. Yes, I'm sleeping well too! Dad and Mom, you don't need to worry. I'm living comfortably here. Next time, I'll send you my first paycheck!"
"No need, sweetie. That's your money and the result of your hard work. Besides, your father can still work to cover the expenses at home," said his mother.
"Your mother is right. You should worry about yourself instead. Stay in a comfortable apartment, don't bother Marshal too much. Eat healthy food," said his father.
He began to list all the things Julian had to do to live comfortably. The young man chuckled at everything his parents said.
At the same time, Arcane opened the front door and found Julian sitting alone on the porch steps, talking to his parents on the phone. His expression was unreadable, but he immediately walked over to Julian and sat down beside him.
His arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer, half hugging the man whose voice remained cheerful, even laughing. Tears had been streaming down his face since earlier, longing for his parents.
"It's okay. Enjoy your time with them."
