Chapter 145 - [Bonus ]Bonus (4) - Painting [Part 1]
It's another great day.
The twins are roaming around the penthouse, looking for something new to discover.
They often pass a locked door, leading them to having a curiousity that cannot be killed until they see what's inside the room.
"Wanna ask daddy?" Chester asked as he looked st Chesca. "Huh?" Chesca gave him a questioning look as she tilted her head a bit. "To open the door?" Chester continued and looked at the door once again.
As kids, it is unavoidable that they are curious about all sorts of things. Aside from that, they have been staying in the penthouse for quite a while already, yet they have never seen what was inside that room every since they started living there.
"Your daddy keeps it locked for a reason, babies."
A voice from behind suddenly popped out of nowhere. The twins turned their head and saw Justin standing right behind them.
He was looking at them with a smile on his face, fully aware of what was inside that room.
There was a time when they just moved in when Tristan hasn't closed the door of the locked room. Of course, as someone who did not know that it was kept locked, Justin went inside the room. He wanted to take a tour inside each and every room in Tristan's place to know which rooms are which.
When he went inside, what he saw was something he never expected.
"Would you like to go in?" Tristan said as he stood behind Justin. "Yes, daddy!" the twins answered in chorus. "I heard your voice so I came here too. Would you like to see what's inside, too?" Tristan whispered in Justin's ear.
Justin's little hair on his nape stood on its ends as he felt the alpha's warm breath against his skin.
'I already know what's inside, though,' Justin thought.
"Sure," the omega smiled at him. "Just a moment. I'll go get the key," Tristan said and left to get the key to the room.
After a few moments, he finally got back and proceeded to open the door. The twins pushed the door open, and as soon as they saw what was inside, they couldn't help but look at the entire room with awe.
"Wow..." Chester said with gaping mouth as his eyes sparkled.
The room had a lot of paintings, most of which are portraits of Justin.
Back when Tristan was still devastated and heartbroken about their breakup, he couldn't seem to stop himself from painting Justin even without having him before him. He just painted him from his memory, making Justin look even more beautiful than he looks like in person.
Tristan is the type of painter who paints how he sees things in his own eyes.
"Mommy, you're everywhere," Chester said as he walked to one of the portraits.
Neither of the twins tried to touch the paintings directly, too scared to damage any of them even just a little.
"I uh... I painted those when we broke up," Tristan said as he put his hand on his nape, feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed about Justin seeing the paintings.
Justin stepped closer to him and wrapped his arms around his alpha.
"So you kept thinking of me even when I was gone, huh?" Justin said with a teasing tone as he grinned at him. Tristan's face turned red, especially his ears. He avoided looking in the omega's eyes and decided to just look at the children instead.
Justin just giggled because of Tristan's reaction and removed his arms around Tristan's body. He walked to the paintings and looked at them one more time.
As he looked around, he saw another painting that did not seem familiar to him. He hasn't seen that painting before when he accidentally went inside the room.
Chesca ran to the painting that Justin was looking at and stared at it with sparkling eyes. "Is this Chester and Chesca?" the little girl asked with amazement in the tone of her voice.
Tristan chuckled as he walked to the little girl. "Yes, princess. Daddy wanted to show you once it was finished, but it seemed like you really wanted to go inside this room," the alpha responded.
"That's so cool!" Chesca said and giggled. "Chester, lookie lookie!" she pointed at the painting. Her brother walked on her direction to see what she was pointing at and saw himself in the painting.
He was sitting on the floor next to Chesca with toys scattered around them. Tristan painted them just from his memory of seeing the twins play with each other on the floor.
"You started painting again, huh?" Justin said as he smiled at the alpha. "Of course. You told me to start doing it again, and so I did," Tristan smiled. He spread his arms open, asking Justin to walk into then for a hug.
Justin chuckled and walked to the alpha's arms. Tristan wrapped his arms around his onega and hugged him tightly.
His warmth enveloped Justin's body as the scent of his faint pheromones tickled Justin's nose.
'Being with him is so calming,' Justin thought as he nuzzled his face on the alpha's chest.
"C... Can I hug too?" Chester asked shyly as he looked at the couple who were still hugging.
Justin and Tristan looked at the little boy as they smiled at his request.
"Of course, baby," Tristan said and chuckled. "Me too!" Chesca said as she ran towards their parents.
The couple knelt on the floor to level their heads with the twins and hugged them like that.
As they embraced each other, Tristan couldn't help but smile even wider as he felt his heart clench. It seemed as though someone was squeezing it tightly, making him feel some sort of pain in his chest.
He loves them so much that his chest is hurting just from feeling too much happiness.
'I've never dreamt of being in a situation like this with Justin.. I'm glad I have them in my life.'
