Chapter 133 - 133- A Whole New World

"Mark this is ridiculous. I do not think that such measures are necessary so we can just get to the pack's compound. I have been to the human world I am well aware of their ways and…"

"Listen. How long ago exactly did you visit the human world Theseus? Ea, Ares have you ever been there?" Mark asked the three elves. The younger ones waved a now and the older, the general looked at him, with a very clear expression, not afraid to show his annoyance. 

"A hundred years ago. Something like that" Theseus answered and Mark crossed his arms over his chest.

"So you are telling me that nothing would have changed in the human world in one hundred years.. I thought you were smarter than this."

"Yes, but I am not very fond of outfit changes and…ouch! Be careful with that pin…and people touching my body!" Theseus said.

After lunch and for the following three hours he had been forced together with Ea and Ares to enter the royal wardrobe, a room filled with closets silver full body mirrors and comfortable velvet black couches. No matter what closet you opened you will come face to face with the finest fabrics, the best quality of clothes, some of them even having gems and gold tailored on them. Unfortunately, none of them seem to fit what Mark called the style of the humans. He had described them as old fashioned and not really following the trends and Theseus had looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. He quite liked the dressing style of his kingdom. The Disee elves always had a darker appearance, fitted black, grey or purple clothes, sometimes dark red and emerald, silver details, and always battle approved while on the other hand Allias' tribe The Avgee elves were dressed in white, gold and earth like tones. At first when Allias stood next to Theseus they looked like they belonged into different worlds. He had a strict appearance, a bit scary while the young prince would be dressed in more lose clothing, with many jewelry and hair pieces. As the years passed Theseus had come to love their contradicting images, he thought of it as something that made them special. 

But as he stood on a fitting stand, a black wooden circle that raised him a bit from the ground and had maids fumble his legs and arms, pinching him with pins while everyone observed him and had him changing one shirt after the other he was starting to get annoyed. 

"Allias? Tell your boyfriend to shut up" Mark said and looked at his best friend who was sitting in one of the couches, reading a book. 

"Theseus" he said placing his book to the side. "The human world is very different now. We need to fit in if we want to go further than the wolf compound. Bear with it a bit longer. Do you want Luke to make fun of you because you don't follow the appropriate dress code?" he asked him with a gentle smile. 

Theseus' eyes widened and he breathed in trying not to explode as another pin prickled his skin. There was no way he would look even the slightest bit lesser than Luke. He didn't know if he was going to be in the mission or not but he was pretty sure he would have to cross paths with him at some point so he would never, ever look inferior in front of him. Especially with Allias around.

"You're smarter than you look" Mark mumbled and Allias chuckled as he returned back to the couch. 

"How about you dress him in a suit and maybe a haircut?" Allias said placing a finger on his chin while he imagined Theseus as a very rich businessman. It was not a bad idea. He grinned as he looked at his lover and stood up getting lost in one of the closets. The others could hear the sound of the hangers moving and Allias got out holding a few pairs of trousers and jackets. Those were really old. Sometimes Allias interested in the fashion of other worlds he would ask his guest to bring him clothes or other items. As it seemed Theseus had kept quite a few so with just a few changes he could make his vision true. "Let me try." He said and Mark stood to the side, smiling as he realized that his best friend right now just wanted to bring his fantasies to life. "take your shirt off" he told him and Theseus did as he was told revealing his sculptured body. His tattoo was obvious on the pale skin and Allias looked at it with a smile. It ended on a moon, while he had a sun on his back. Once his mother did the spell on him Theseus had gone and gotten it, so they would match. It was a very sweet gesture, that now warmed his heart. "Try this" he said and threw a black turtle neck at him. It had long sleeves but the weather in the human world, especially the part they were visiting was never that hot so he wouldn't have a problem. "Since we won't be college students any more, let's go all out" he said as he watched Theseus wore the shirt. "now these pants. And put the shirt inside the pants." He instructed him and the elf wore a black pair of pants. They were slightly loose and when he saw his boyfriend nodded satisfied. "Nice." 

"I see what you want there." Mark commented. "How about this too." He proposed tossing a jacket at him. "make it a bit wider and then tailor the rest of his clothes in similar manner." He told the maids and they nodded obediently. "Also you will be getting a haircut." 

"What?" I have been growing my hair for so long! What do you mean a haircut?" Theseus asked shocked and his hair instinctively went to his hair, grasping his pony tail.

"Yes!" Allias said excited and clapped. "I will be going now. It's getting late and I need to check some paperwork. Finish up these two before midnight. We need to rest, tomorrow it's a big day." 

"Why my hair?" Allias heard Theseus whine as he left the room. He headed towards his study, a room he hadn't used in many years. The only room that actually reminded him of home since Theseus had decorated especially for him. The light colored wood and elegant carvings as designs. Flowers and trees sculptured with outmost care and golden details, Theseus had placed a big desk there with a comfortable beige chair and a matching couch for when he needed to rest. There was also a huge bookcase that had many shelves empty since he didn't know what to place there yet but that was the least of his concerns. 

He began reading papers, and signing stuff that Ea had previously left him. There were so many matters that needed his immediate attention when he got back that he was already feeling pressured. He had a maid bring him a cup of tea and while he took a short break, leaving his quill down he took a sip from the aromatic liquor. His eyes hurt from the bad lighting and he got up from the chair and headed towards the couch to lie down. Just half an hour he mumbled to himself and closed his eyes. 

A half an hour became one and then two until the whole night passed and the next morning Ea was eagerly knocking on his door. 

"Wake up, wake up! I am in a hurry. I left your clothes at the door it's already noon we need to leave!" Ea screamed at him from behind the closed door and the sleeping elf jumped up surprised. While rubbing his eyes he grabbed the clothes that were left there Ea already gone and got dressed. 

He headed at the palace entrance waiting for the other and to his surprise even though he was supposed to be the one who was late no one had arrived yet. He heard footsteps soon though and turned around to face his new and improved boyfriend. His vibrant green eyes almost popped out of their sockets and his jaw dropped. He wondered if he had started drooling as a breath was stuck on his throat.

"Holly shit" he mumbled as he stared at him. "fuck" 

All of them looked different. Ea and Ares too but Theseus was the epitome of the word. He looked like a completely different person and Allias couldn't help but notice if they were actually going out on a mission or if they had planned to make his teenage dreams into a reality. Mark was really good with clothes. Incredibly good he noted on his mind as he was trying to find something to say. 

"You're drooling" Mark commented and in a usual situation Allias would have told him to shut up but now he was utterly bewitched by Theseus. It felt like he had seen him for the first time. His heart was beating faster and he felt his palms get sweaty, so drowned into his own thoughts that he hadn't notice the way Theseus was looking at him. 

"How can I not…I mean…he is hot" he mumbled and immediately turned red at the realization of what he had said.

"It runs in the family. Right Ea?" Ares said with a cheeky smile and stood in front of his husband. 

"No. You look exactly the same." Ea said with a stern expression and he frowned. 

This story had seemed to have taken the course of a teenage book and everyone was subconsciously happy about that. It was quite relaxing for your worries to be about a haircut or the color of your shirt. 

Soon though things would change.
