Treated like a kid

Without Lucien noticing Aiden had already arrived where he was. Lucien felt someone's hands removed the hood from his head, revealing his face.

Aiden's cold fingers brush Lucien's cheek, making him turn to the left and meet Aiden's face.

Their faces are too close to each other. Their eyelashes almost brushing each other. Or was it Lucien's imagination?

"What are you doing?" Lucien suddenly asked. His eyes narrowed as Lucien blinked.

"W - what?" Isn't this sense of distance.. too close?

Lucien step back to add more distance between them but Lucien grabbed his waist and force Lucien to stand closer. His arm tightened around Lucien's waist.

"Who are you talking to?" Aiden's low magnetic voice sent goosebumps to Lucien's skin. Why does it feel like he was a mouse caught between the claws of a wild cat?

Aiden's narrowed eyes looked similar to a cat lying in waiting before devouring its prey.
