Chapter 244 Can You Forgive Me?

Obsidian clenched his jaw and shook his head. He wasn't going to speak until his safety from the torment was assured. "How about you let me down and promise not to pull on my tail anymore?"

Nix rubbed his chin as he gave it a thought, going through with it, he deactivated his gifts.

Thud!

The groans of Obsidian were put on deaf ears when Nix looked the other way. "You got one shot at proving yourself."

Obsidian nodded his head as if that was the best offer he had ever been given. He was glad his tail was spared, and the fact that Alex didn't witness that embarrassing moment.

Lumina burst out laughing immediately, unable to curtail her emotions anymore. It was fun to watch Obsidian finally being tamed.

"That serves you, right dummy! Remember when you were all high and mighty when we just joined this stupid place?"

Obsidian's brows twitched at her mocking words, he didn't relate well with them then, she shouldn't have tried to bring up that moment of his haughty phase.

"If you could just wipe out that one part of our lives, then it would be appreciated." He said through gritted teeth, raising his clenched fist.

Lumina simply shrugged and brought back his attention to Nix. "Don't mind me having fun, you on the other hand should be more conscious of your environment and those who deserve your attention."

Fidgeting, he gulped when he saw a grin on Nix as he folded his arms, waiting for an answer.

"They have a dragon scale, and that might expose you." He mumbled.

Nix's eyes widened and his teeth clenched in suppressed rage, it only took great restraint to go at it again with Obsidian.

"You are just telling me this now?!!" He barked and took a step forward.

Obsidian brought out his hand and tried to calm him. "You gotta listen!"

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he let out a sigh. "What is it that I need to know before you get handled?"

Masking his uneasiness with a chuckle, he requested that he get Lank and the jar so he doesn't do the explanation twice.

Lumina jumped off the bed. "Leave it to me. I need some girl time anyways!"

'Heck no!' Obsidian shook his head, secretly trying to give a signal to her someway.

Lumina blinked her eyes several times, trying her hardest not to understand what he meant. In the end, she scoffed and stepped out to get Lank.

Obsidian had his mouth gaped open in shock and disappointment. Internally facepalming and wishing he could swap places with her.

'Alex, thank you for the wonderful advice.' He gave a bitter laugh when he noticed Nix had a hard glare at him.

A few moments later, a knock could be heard on their door.

Nix and Obsidian shared a knowing look and the latter proceeded to go to check it out.

"Oh come on!" Lank's irritated voice could be heard on the other end.

Kicking on the door so they could open. "You called my attention, yet you locked the door?"

Nix and Obsidian let out a sigh of relief. Nodding, he signaled him that he would handle it himself.

"Open!"

Click!

Lank had wanted to make some other comment on how slow they were but was pulled in by the arm.

Whack!

"Freaking hell?!" He hissed, his eyes teary and confused.

He was having a rethink his life choices when he was interrupted by Lumina.

He had only been caught unawares because he had not known about her and Gia's plan on installing their voice command in each other's room.

He had to shake off the embarrassing feeling of seeing Lumina make an unprecedented appearance in his room.

"How can you be so careless?!" Obsidian hissed and pulled out the elixir from Lank's front pocket.

The glow was so obvious through the light silk night pants that it was pointless hiding it in there.

"You need to explain to me how Lumina has easy access to my room!" Lank switched up the conversation, frowning as he continued. "What if Gia and I were..."

His face burned a deep red as he realized what he had just implicated with the mischievous smirks plastered on the two.

"No... No! That's not what I–"

"It's alright," Obsidian put out his hand to stop Lank from making a bigger fool of himself. "Next time, how about you do that when you manually lock the door?"

Lank felt as though he couldn't breathe when he realized that he had been caught. Slowly he nodded his head to the suggestion, but then he remembered that wasn't the reason he was called here.

"What the heck is going on?!" He mouthed the words to Obsidian.

They had vowed not to tell Nix or have him make contact with the jar at the least, not while they were in the organization.

Suddenly it was snatched and on full display, for Nix to see?

'Where is my embarrassing beat up or me running away placed?!' He frowned, that action had hunted him and he thought it would greatly sever his relationship with Nix after that.

Obsidian looked down, "I'm sorry that I had almost caused a disaster and made our relationship stiff."

Lank nodded his head, happy that he wasn't the one who had to explain all of this to Nix.

"You got that right."

Nix took a step forward, he looked dejected and guilty. "C... Could you forgive me?"

Lank's eyes widened at the apology, this was by far the sincerest apology he had ever received in his life, and coming from the one person he looked up to, it felt exhilarating.

Not needing to show it in words, he pulled Nix into a hug.

Nix froze upon the gesture and his eyes widened before he began to settle in and hug back.

Lank had just been patting the back of Nix when he felt a shadow cast on them, looking forward, he saw Obsidian at close range.

"What the heck are you doing?!" Lank hissed
