Chapter 97: On the breakfast menu

Erik stood up and with a bright smile he said to him : "I couldn't wait to see you."

He held out his hand to him and said : "Come on my love, I'll make you a good breakfast."

Erik was too excited to wait inside for him, it had been forever since they had just spent a day doing nothing together.

Usually, both of them continued to train on their day off, but now that it was Alan himself who had forbidden him to train and decreed that they would just rest today, he wouldn't miss this chance to spend as much time as possible with him.

Alan took his hand and intertwined his fingers with his, letting himself be guided to the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, he took him in his arms and confessed to him : "If you hadn't been there, I would have been looking for you and would have brought you here by force if it would have been necessary."

Erik chuckled and also confessed to him : "You really think that I would have missed this opportunity to stay with you all day, knowing that you wouldn't meditate or craft potions ..."

Alan then put his hands on his cheeks and he kissed him tenderly, he had already asked himself this question, when you were already in love with someone, could this love continue to grow and become even stronger ... Because that was really what he was feeling with Erik.

He finally came back to his senses and said to him : "I'm going to check to see if they are okay and I will be right back."

Erik nodded and went to start making breakfast for them, but he still felt Alan's presence so he turned around and saw that he was still standing on the kitchen doorstep and was looking at him hesitant.

Erik asked him surprised by this behavior which was so unlike him : "What is it my love ? Something wrong ?"

Alan shook his head and came back to take him in his arms, he said to him : "I'm so sorry for yesterday, I wasn't able to protect you ... When I saw this Vampire hit you I thought that my heart was going to stop beating … If something happened to you I really don't know …"

Erik then kissed him passionately to silence him and he said to him when they were both out of breath : "Nothing bad happened my love, I'm fine, everyone is safe, so no ifs, okay ?"

Alan nodded and grabbed his waist to lift him up and place him on the kitchen counter, he told him in a very sensual voice : "Sweetheart, you know what ... I think that finally you're going to be on the breakfast menu."

He then kissed him fiercely preventing him to say anything and he told him again : "And also at the lunch menu ... during the afternoon break ... And at the dinner of course."

Suddenly they heard a laugh and they both turned towards the kitchen door surprised.

Axel was there, dressed casually, and with Kevin in his arms still sleeping peacefully.

He seemed to be doing pretty well, Erik thought, but why had he taken Kevin with him ...

Axel stopped laughing and said to Alan : "If you really do that, he won't be able to go back to training."

Alan's smile widened and he replied in the same teasing tone : "Well, don't worry, he is used to satisfying my appetite, and actually, I don't want him to be able to go back to train, not before a couple days."

Erik repeated surprised : "A couple of days ? But I'm fine my love."

Alan turned back to him and leaned to whisper in his ear : "But I'm not, I need someone to take care of me ... just a couple of days sweetheart, okay ?"

Erik wasn't fool, but Alan was the one offering to prolong their time together, so he wouldn't be the one to refuse it.

He nodded to him and pushed him away to get back to the floor, he was starting to feel uncomfortable in this position before Axel.

He finally asked to Axel : "How are you feeling, and why did you bring Kevin here with you ?"

Axel answered his second question first : "I made the mistake of letting Kevin sleep alone once, and believe me, I won't make that mistake twice."

Especially since he had become much stronger than before, he thought to himself, and seeing what he had already managed to do to him the last time he didn't want to take any chances.

He decided to explain to them : "Whenever he's alone he has nightmares, and if we ever try to wake him up… Well, it's better not to try to do it at all."

He looked tenderly at Kevin and he went to sit on a chair, positioning him comfortably on his knees, then he said to them : "I feel exhausted, mentally and physically … What happened after I passed out ?"

Alan reluctantly moved away from Erik to join Axel, but not before whispering in his ear : "I'll take care of you later sweetheart."

Erik pushed him towards Axel and he said : "I will make the breakfast while Alan will tell you what happened … And you're right when you say that it is better not to try to approach him when he is sleeping, last night he grabbed my wrist when I wanted to check if he had a fever, and he broke it as easily as if he was breaking a piece of sugar, it was really creepy."

He added : "Fortunately you were there, you grabbed his waist and hugged him, then you mumbled something completely inaudible to him in your sleep but it was very effective because he fell asleep immediately after … Your relationship with him is really special."

Axel didn't remember anything, he had no idea he had grabbed Kevin by the waist to hug him, but what surprised him was that Kevin let him do it without trying to kill him.

He was really wondering if Kevin had become familiar enough with his body and his voice to recognize him even when he was unconscious ? If that was true then it was wonderful, it meant Kevin had accepted him completely.

He decided to be honest with Erik : "Erik, could you just avoid talking to him about this … Or, if you do tell him about it, don't tell him you found him scary."

Erik and Alan looked at him startled, after all, it was normal to find scary that an unconscious person was able to do this kind of thing without even waking up.
