I Scored Myself A Mate

The night passed by fast. Everyone sleeping soundly in their rooms and the final day of their dwell in the supernatural world arrived. After their lunch they would get released in the human world. A special kind of jungle that Theseus, Ea and Ares were not very fond of. 

"Do you have all your stuff?" Allias asked his lover as they were packing the few things they had gotten out of their luggage. 

"Yeah, but I have a question." The white haired man said. "We don't look human. In the slightest bit so how will we pull through with this mission if we don't fit in? It's more possible for us to bring other hunter clans to us rather than find the one we are looking for."

"I know. That's why after we meet the vampire lady, we will search for a witch. She will cast a spell on us to hide our ears at least. Or you can wear a hat at all times but I am sure that will be a bit weird."

"I have a feeling that this journey is going to last a while" Theseus noted with a sigh and sat on the bed. "I always believed that after I found you I would be able to live peacefully with you. But now we are being dragged in the human world with all these savages."

"You know that used to be my world for almost twenty years" Allias told him.

"Oh, yeah sorry."

"No it's okay you're right most of them are savages." He said with a short chuckle. "or should I say…desperate?" he asked as he put one of his shirts neatly on the black suitcase and zipped it. The sound of the zipper making Theseus' arm hairs rise and he shook it off with a frown. He wasn't really fond of zippers; he had concluded to that pretty easily. "They have so little time and so much greed to be someone, do something that a lot of them would do anything to just achieve their idea of happiness or success. Now that I think about it is quite weird." 

"Well even their Gods have given up on them so they must be doing something wrong" The general told him and headed towards the door, taking a hold of Allias' and his luggage he shook his head, asking him to open the door so they could leave this small and suffocating room. 

"That's too harsh now. Not all of them are like that. There are many bad elves too, many bad wolves and vampires." Allias gave an example as they stepped outside the wide hallway. "I think they will be waiting for us at the entrance. I hope that Mark's mum sent him the cars."

"I won't be on a car with Luke. Just so you know."

"Yes, yes do not worry. I will drive."

"You can drive?" Theseus asked surprised 

"Yeah. I'm amazing like that" he said with a smirk and winked at him. 

"About the bad humans, the bad elves and bad wolves Allias…"

"Yes?"

"I do not like any of them." Theseus told him and smiled at him. "I just like you. It has always been like that." 

Allias blinked and his lips opened slightly but all he could do with them was breathe as his face turned slightly hotter and his cheeks a pale pink. He turned around and let out a very fake and very awkward cough before he began walking again.

"That's good then. I think that's enough" he mumbled and heard Theseus laugh behind him. It was times like these that Allias felt his heart flutter. At the most unexpected moments Theseus would just say something like that with no shame at all and make him feel like he was a child again. No matter how long had passed he always found new ways to express his love and his detest for the rest of the world, he though with a shy smile. 

"Finally you are here" They heard Ares exclaim as they reached the front entrance that once again had been swarmed with people. They had seen them already once wasn't that enough? He wondered as he felt everyone's eyes on him when he noticed the guy he had scared, the one who was bullying Alexander standing in between the other young wolves. He locked eyes with him and offered him a wide smile, the teen scoffing and leaving the crowd. He knew he was a bit petty but at the same time he enjoyed it. It was his own fault for biting off more than he could chew. 

"You are just early." Theseus told his brother. 

"Not really. Come on we need to leave. Also somebody explain to me why is that kid here with us?" The Disee prince asked and with his crimson eyes he stared at Alexander who was holding a small bag, probably filled with clothes and looked at the ground. 

"He is Alexander. He will be coming with us." Allias said.

"No he won't, he is too young to come with us." Luke said and stood in front of the delicate boy staring down at him with a strict look. "Why are you doing this?" he asked him and the boy with the olive eyes shyly raised his face. The moment he faced Luke though he took a step back and averted his gaze. "Are you…scared of me?" Luke asked, seeming surprised and at the same time a bit hurt. He wondered how everyone viewed him, especially after the events in the pack and with Alex in all of this. He had acted many times like he was insane; it wouldn't be that crazy if Alexander was scared of him. "Fine" he sighed and rubbed his temples. "Do as you wish." He told him and moved towards the front gate. 

"So there are two cars as I can see" Allias said as they stepped outside. Two black very expensive porches were parked right outside the front gate and Mark was jiggling the keys in his fingertips happily. Money really could change your view of the world. "I will be on one with Theseus, Ares and Ea and in the other one there will be Mark, Alexander, Mikael and Luke. Is that alright with you?" 

"Why am I with them?" Mark whispered as he tucked his sleeve.

"I am doing this for you so shut up" Allias whispered back and grabbed one pair of keys from him. 

"I can come with you if you want" Luke offered and smiled sexily at Allias. "I am a good driver."

"In your dreams." Theseus groaned filled with dissatisfaction and took Allias away in a hurry. Opening the driver's seat and almost throwing him inside like a sack of potatoes. 

From far away Mark could hear Allias shout that he was a King and he shouldn't be treated this way. He even threatened to have him beheaded above that. Ridiculous. Mark thought and entered the back seat of the car next to the shy boy he hadn't paid any attention to up till now. They drove for quite a while and th sun started to subside, the sky turned a very pretty purple that reminded Allias' of Theseus' eyes. It was calming as they traveled in the highway. He hadn't had such a humane experience in a while, a smile suddenly appearing on his face as he changed lanes.

"Can we take a stop? I need to eat something" Mikael said and mark agreed with him eagerly. Their car had been way to silent and he hated this boring atmosphere. Luke stopped at a small gas station at the side of the road and Mark with Mikael exited the vehicle. "Do you want me to get you something?" he asked the remaining two people in the car.

"Just water for me" Luke said. Alexander did not speak until Luke turned on the back and asked him. "What do you want?" 

"I…I…I am good t-thanks."

"Say it" 

"Chocolate milk" He stuttered and Mikael nodded giving him a friendly thumbs up.

"Chocolate milk? What are you a toddler?" Luke asked him. 

"Sorry. Next time I will get something else." Alexander said as his ears got red. He wasn't directly looking at Luke. Rather he preferred the familiar image of his own sweaty palms as he played with his fingers.

"No sorry." Luke told him and let out a sigh. It seemed as no matter what he told him Alexander would keep being scared of him. That's why he didn't even want to meet his gaze. That was a bit hurtful, after all he had never done anything wrong to him. "Don't be scared of me. I would never harm you." He told him and for the first time the young boy raised his head on his own.

"What?"

"Just…I know I am scary, a bit rough around the edges but I would never hurt you, okay? I am not that mean" Luke repeated, hoping that he would feel a little bit better when he was around him. 

"I was never scared of you" Alexander said looking straight into his grey eyes. This time not stuttering. Not even once.
