There are few things Prim needs to consider in finally finding the one for him;
Number 1. Hindi naninigarilyo.
Sure he doesn't care for people who smoke, because that’s their life, but second-hand smoke has been studied by researchers and doctors that are much more of a health hazard for those who inhale it rather than the one who smoke themselves, an d having a partner who smokes is a no-no for Prim, especially because he has weak lungs.
“You need a what?” Prim asked the taller guy who just raised his brows at him, not really wanting to repeat himself but sigh afterwards.
“Can I have a lollipop?” Magnus asked, his brown eyes looking directly at him and even with glasses he could feel the lingering look of the taller.
“That’s a first, you usually ask for a stick to put in your mouth.” he nonchalantly answered as he focused on what he was doing, as he had no other helpers to help him suture the big man’s cuts.
Magnus Kim is a big man no doubt about that, he can fully enter a battlefield on his own, but he was no different to other mortals getting hurt either and Prim was used to it anyway, good thing he only has 4 hits today.
“Lollipops in the house are only reserved for good kids.” Prim answered as he stitched up the last wound and Magnus was about to argue back but he slightly, like teenee tiny bit, applied a pressure on the guy’s arm, near the area where he was just cleaning the wound. But as the wound was still fresh, Magnus couldn’t help but to hiss in pain.
“The fuck–” Magnus’ words were cut when he saw how Prim gave him a serious look not to move as he wasn’t done yet.
Magnus could only sigh and followed. Nanatili syang nakahiga habang tinitignan or tinititigan ang private doctor nya who seems not to be bothered by it dahil mukhang sanay na ito.
All of the people surrounding Magnus were scared of him, only Prim could handle his mood, not even bothered by his presence but THAT’S the thing!
Magnus can take on any business meetings, he can face any bullets or deals, shoot people on the head when they’re being a menace, he can kill. But no one knows that Magnus only has his eye on one thing.
Or to describe it correctly, he only has one person in mind ever since he met him.
Magnus only wanted Prim, and karma must be biting his ass because of how slow the guy with glasses is, not even knowing that the mafia boss has an eye for him.
Everyone’s afraid of Magnus Kim, but Magnus was more afraid of losing Prim and no one else needs to know that but for the love of god, the tall man kept asking why Prim couldn’t take a hint!
“Who did you take on this time for you to end up with 4 stitches?” Prim asked not even looking, he was finishing up by putting on some gauze pad over the wound, his slim fingers careful not to put too much pressure on Magnus’ huge arms.
Oh they can choke alright , Prim thought but chose to push away those thoughts his friends told him about.
“Just some douchebags, you don’t need to know about it.” Magnus answered, voice was void of any emotion making Prim shrug his shoulders as he removed his gloves.
“Well, mukha lang kasing pumupurol ka na dahil naka-apat ka ngayon. Anyway, buhay mo naman yan, pakatanga ka hanggang kailan mo gusto.” Prim said as he stood up and he couldn’t help but to give out a confused look when Magnus held his arm to stop him.
“Wow, I was just about to ask if you have eaten but I guess thanks.” Magnus answered sarcastically, face not looking at him and at that moment, Prim thought the taller looked like an upset puppy.
He’d known Magnus for a year now, even what the taller do for a living other than as a businessman, Prim knows Magnus can be the most lethal person when mad, he saw him first hand on how he took someone’s life, but not even once did he even felt scared at the guy.
For Prim, Magnus was just…a guy…or a puppy, something like in a breed of a rottweiler– steady, fearless, courageous, calm;
and he’ll never forget how Magnus saved him in a life and death situation that he ended up here, in one of the hospitals that Magnus owns and working as a private doctor for the man too.
So he put his free hand inside his pocket and was delighted when he felt that little sweet treat he always brought with him, good thing that he was wearing a mask that the tall guy couldn’t see how he was trying to stop himself from smiling because Magnus really looked offended with his statement.
He softly removed Magnus’ hands holding his wrist kaya napatingin sa kanya ang binata.
“It’s really not in your character to be sulky over those words.” he said, making Magnus roll his eyes.
“I can be upset too just so you know. Now let’s eat, I’m hungry.” Magnus said as he tried standing up from the bed but Prim just shook his head and pushed Magnus back to lying down by putting his forefinger on the taller man’s forehead.
“Magtigil, tell your guards to bring you food here instead. I have rounds to do so be a good boy and rest here until I say so.” Prim said, rolling his eyes as he turned his back but stopped from walking again to look back at Magnus who seemed to be taken aback for what he did.
He saw how Magnus shook his head instead as if his mind was busy having his own monologues, and tried lighting up a cigarette which Prim wasn’t even surprised, because Magnus likes breaking the rules like that.
“And oh, here catch!” Prim said and softly threw the lollipop which Magnus was able to catch. Obviously, the stick between his fingers fell on the ground which made the side of Prim’s lips move upward.
He wanted to see how long Magnus would stop himself from smoking. Till then, maybe he can actually give him a more sweeter treat, Prim thought.
