Chapter 131 - Tired Of Fading

The head maid was tasked to show the Royal family around. Give them a tour of the outhouse they were being given. And see if they liked it or not and if they will accept it.

Roy an remained behind watching the television with Avan who for some reason refused to see the house. He glared holes into Royan's skin wondering what magic the man was using on people.

"What is it pretty boy?" Royan asked to break the awkward silence in the room.

"I a..am not p..pretty," he wanted to sound stern but stuttered.

"Should I call you ugly then?" Royan teased.

He was having much fun that he had in his life. Doing more than just studying the ancient scrolls and guiding the sire of deception was fun. Especially with two interesting boys who were too cute to ignore. He had smiled a lot in the last twenty four hours and he couldn't wait for them to move in.

The endless possibility that the idea held was intriguing. He could even entertain his mother's suggestion of being a normal kid and having friends thing.

"Listen here you," Avan began masking his nervousness. He raised his finger and pointed it to the boy and walked towards him imitating how And normally acted when provoked. He wanted to appear intimidating. "I don't know what games you are playing but I will advise that you stop. Ander is mine and you can't take him away from me," he said hearing Royan.

He bent a little to meet Royan's face so he was clear. Royan moved his leg that was between his and tripped him. Again fell forward landing perfectly on Royan's chest.

"Or what?" Royan questioned in a husky voice.

Avan blinked his eyes trying to get his mind to think straight. All he could think of was how good Royan smelled and how muscular he felt under his fingers. It was hard for him to appear intimidating when he was captivated by the boy.

"Or I w..will kill.."

"Kill me, I would love to hear you try," Royan fired back.

Hearing the boy say the word love and him I'm the same sentence made was the push he needed to lose his mind completely.

"But I would much rather wear about violence. I can be very dangerous if pushed passed my limits," he warned.

"Are you threatening me?" Avan asked with his hand to Royan's throat. His hand was glowing red. "It is unwise to threaten someone who can murder you with just a blink of an eye," he added.

"I don't think I've mentioned this before but in all circumstances. I like to be on the top," he said grabbed hold of Avan hand and his body and flipped the two of them over so that he towered over Ander.

His pupils were in the shape of flame. "Wanna try your suggestion. I bet I can kill by blinking my eyes," he said in an icy tone that caused the male under him to shudder. "But like I said, I hate violence," he added capturing Avan's lips into a kiss.

Avan's heart was beating like thunder from the way things were playing out. He had not expected Royan to have powers let alone turn the tables on him. What he wanted was for him to be afraid and back off Ander but he was fool to poke at a sleeping lion.

"Is this your first kiss?" Royan asked. He shook his head to refuse. "Then stop acting like an amateur and close your eyes," he instructed and kissed him once more.

He kissed his lips one after the other, his warm lips made him feel so good but also guilty for cheating on Ander. But in his defense, he was a hormonal teenager that was in love with a dragon who has never known where his heart truly belonged.

And as pathetic as it Was, be it that he ran away with Francis and obsessed over him or married Amaru. He waited for him. But the boy only ever seems to look back when everyone else turned away from him but not before or for love and it was tiring.

He wasn't sure that Answer would ever truly love him for him without his heart and eyes wondering around for a better option. He was always that last option.

"Am i such a bad kisser?" Royan asked drawing him out of his thoughts. Avan looked up at him surprised by the question.

"W..why would y..you ask that?" he inquired confused.

"You seem lost in your thoughts," the phoenix pointed out. "Were you comparing?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Comparing what?"

"The way I kiss and the way whoever you kissed before me kissed you," the phoenix let out. "Don't worry, I think it's cute. Tell me, who is better?"

"N..no i was n..not thinking about that. Just my tragic love story," Avan said.

"Oh, you are in love with Ander. I thought it was just you crushing on him," the phoenix mumbled to himself. "I'm sorry about the kiss, I would understand if you thought me a jerk. I am.. should have remained within my limits," he added and backed away from him.

Avan sat up feeling a little sad that the kiss ended so soon. He couldn't help but wish he hadn't mentioned his love for Anger and ruined everything.

"Are you two together?" Royan asked straightening his shirt.

"I don't know," A van replied. That had always been the answer when it came to his relationship with the dragon. He never knew with the guy just where they stood. They kissed and had s*x together but it was all just pleasure.

"Is it one sided?"

Thinking on the question, he could help but remembr all the time that Ander left his hand for Francis. Its like if it came to him and his father, then his would win. The whole world came first before him, it was a surprise that the dragon remembered to save him during the war.

"Yes," he replied as it was how their relationship felt. That was why he didn't want to be with the dragon despite loving him. Because loving someone who didn't love you back painful but not as painful as loving someone who wasn't sure he felt about you.

"I'm sorry. I can't say I understand how you feel. To be honest, I have never been in love and you happened to be my third kiss so I'm not expert on that. I have been in a relationship and frankly I havent gone further than a kiss with anyone so I am the last person to give you relationship advise," Royan said honestly.

"You and that body. I doubt it, you must have numerous lovers and all of them slaves to your charms," Avan teased.

"I wouldn't like that, you might not believe it but I am not a people person. People make me sick, they have this judgemental personality that I hate. They have no rights to play judge but they do, which is disgusting," he let out.

"I don't judge," Avan said getting closer to him. "I won't hold anything against you," he whispered to him.

He wasn't sure where the sudden confident came from that helped him to speak to the gorgeous demon of temptation before his eyes without stuttering but he didn't dislike it. Royan was nice, straight forward and honest. Which was exactly what he needed.

He was a gentleman, he apologized when he realized he liked someone else and respected his feelings which was more than he can ask for.

He had never met anyone other than Ella who actually cared and took the time to know him.Even Ander despite claiming to love him never took the trouble.They never just had a simple talk without things getting back to normal. With normal being its either about Ander or it fades in the background.

"I'm tired of fading in the background," he said to him. "I've spent my days standing in the shadows believing that I could get live by doing so but no more. Teach me to climb over the walls that I have built for myself," he pleaded.

"We just met. How can you trust me with that?" Roy an asked him.

"They say that a stranger can help you better than a friend. Because he can't judge you. I want to step into the light, i want everything to be about me,"he said biting his lower lip in a seductive way.

"You don't know what you are asking for," the phoenix said to him.

"Then tell me what i am asking for, open my eye and et me see. Its high time I stopped being in this toxic one sided relationship. Will you help me?" he asked with a new glow in his face. He was tired of being selfless and putting others before him.

It was his turn and he deserved it. He deserved to be happy just like everyone else and he also deserved a chance in the spotlight.

"I was wrong, i am the one who doesn't know what you are asking for," he said shaking his head.. "You seem to have a clue but im clueless," he added.
