Soran had remained silent the whole ride home. The snow haired man had chosen to sit at the front of the luxurious car next to Lun leaving Kai in the back. That alone showed very clearly there was something wrong with him. He would never let Kai be alone or not ask him how he was if he wasn't angry about something. Kai had his eye stuck on him the whole ride, during the slow appearance of the sun and while people were starting to appear on the streets but his expression did not change, not even once. He was standing stiff on his seat, looking out the window replying to Lun's small talk with just nods or a disinterested hum. 

Kai wanted to ask him what was wrong but he couldn't do it in front of everyone else. So he sat comfortably on his seat, thinking what could have happened until his eyelids were starting to feel heavy. Soon his thoughts disappeared and he fell asleep for the rest of the car ride. He was so exhausted that no dreams came to torture him tonight. Maybe his mind thought he had been through enough already for once and decided to give him some peace. 

He woke up about an hour later when he felt someone raise him from his seat and take him in his arms. He groaned, dissatisfied because he was forced to wake up and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at the face of his carrier that was being beautifully framed by the sun like a glowing halo. It was Soran. As it seemed they had arrived in Lun's mansion, everyone had entered already and the white haired man had decided he didn't want to wake him up and took him in his arms so he could take him to his room. 

"I...I am awake now, I can walk." Kai said feeling embarrassed by their position.Soransimply held him tighter, the prince wrapping his arms around neck because he felt like he would fall and awkwardly rested his head on his chest. 

"It's fine." Soran told him. His voice was still cold and distant but nonetheless he had decided to carry him. 

He entered the mansion, greeted by Lun's servants and instantly took a turn towards the left. Kai did not know the house but his friends seemed to know exactly where to go. A left turn led them to a black swiveling staircase which Soran went up to. Then a corridor followed that spread into four huge sections. The first one right in front of the top of the stairs was another living room, decorated with golden and beige tones, looking a lot more extravagant than the one he had been in. They walked by the living room, and a bathroom with a huge bathtub that its door had been left open and entered a bedroom. 

The room had two very big windows, the one serving as a door to a very small but cute balcony that had a full view of the endless garden. There was a heavy wooden closet made of light wood and a bed filled with fluffy silk pillows in  the color of honey. It was a four poster bed and the curtains had very beautiful golden butterflies shewed into them. A golden full body mirror stood at one corner with a very vintage frame of carved roses and a comfortable loveseat made of beige velvet. 

Soran let go of him gently and placed him on the bed, instantly turning around ready to leave. Kai grabbed him by the end of his sleeve, making him stop and the tall man turned his head looking at him for the first time in hours. 

"Is there something wrong with the room? Lun said this is the closest to your preferences."

Kai smiled. Lun was obviously doing this on purpose. He had placed him in a room that was looking like the ones he had at home. It felt comfortable, oddly familiar he wasn't going to lie but the colors were more something his older brother would prefer.

"The room is fine." Kai said and stood up. He felt perfectly fine now. He was fully rested. 

"Then I will go."

"No you won't."

"What is it then?"

"What happened?"

"What do you mean?" Soran asked him pretending nothing was wrong. 

"Don't lie to me. You know very well what I am talking about. I am asking you to tell me why you're behaving like this. Did I do something wrong?" 

"No, no." Soran said. He sounded slightly agitated as he pushed back his hair. He turned his back on Kai, the prince could still see his expression though since he was looking at the mirror. He looked hurt, as if he was restraining himself from speaking. "You didn't do anything"

"Then why haven't you even looked at me? If I did something please tell me I…" Kai said and tried to touch his shoulder. Soran moved away, deciding it was time to face him. 

"I am jealous." Soran stated.

"What?" 

"I feel horrible about it but seeing you there, in his arms, hearing him say that he loves you. I...I can't stop myself from this kind of lowly feeling. I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to tell you anything that you don't like. I definitely don't want to burden you with my feelings in moments like these but Kai, I...don't know if I can be just your friend. I thought I could do it but after what I saw, after everything we've been through it's just...impossible. So I want to ask you. Kai, is there ever a chance that you will love me again?" Soran asked him.

Kai looked at him. He felt rooted into the wooden floor as he tried to find the right words to explain to him what he felt. He had loved Soran, he truly had when they were together and he hadn't felt that for many people. What he felt for Philip though was not just a feeling, it was fate, it had elements from the core of magic itself and he couldn't simply overlook it. He couldn't stop feeling like that, even if he wanted to. 

"Soran I…"

"No, don't answer me, let me tell you something first. Lun told you it's time to stop running. The Bloody people are after you. Your family is after you, the wolves are after you. Do you think it would be wise to be with Philip, hurt for him? Weren't one of these the reason you killed him in the first place? Be with me Kai, be together with me until you resolve everything and if you still want to be with Philip then I will let you go but I am sure you won't. I am confident I can make you happy." 

"Wait, Soran you don't understand. It's not that I did not love you, it's not that I don't love you up to this day it's…"

"Then give me a chance." Soran said, his eyes pleading for him to be heard. He loved Kai so much, the pain in his eyes was enough proof of it and Kai loved him too but Philip, Philip once again was something more than love. He was fate, destiny, magic, passion and he was tears and danger. He was everything. 

In life though you could never have everything…

"I…"

"Just one chance Kai. That's all I am asking. You're not together now, he doesn't remember you, I just need some time to prove to you I can take your pain away." 

...

Supernatural love relationships are complicated I tell ya. 

Who would want two hotties after them?
