I Scored Myself A Mate

He was trying to kiss him.

Allias gasped, feeling his chest tighten and his palm instinctively rested on Luke's chest before he pushed him away. He threw the wolf at the empty side of the bed, him bouncing on the mattress confused. 

"Let's not do something we will both regret later on." Allias said and Luke smiled awkwardly. That was the second time he was rejected by him or maybe the third? He had lost count by now. 

"Yeah, you're right" he said and turned to his side facing the elf king. "Thanks for stopping me. I would be in a lot of trouble later on." He said and Allias laughed, turning his back on him. He dived under the thick covers, wrapping himself with Luke's blanket.

"Well, Theseus' hurt face keeps flashing in my head so there is nothing I can do really. Now let me be. I need to sleep." He mumbled.

"What about me being the little spoon?" Luke joked. 

"You lost that privilege when you tried to seduce me. Goodnight Luke." 

"Goodnight Allias." The wolf said and raised his arm, closing the lights. His hand found its way on Allias' waist, hugging him comfortably and he could smell Allias' hair. He smelled like flowers, sometimes too intoxicating for someone to think or even sleep. "It's going to be alright." He said, the elf nodding before he drifted off to sleep. 

Luke waved a few times right in front of his face, quietly sneaking off his room once he was sure Allias was truly asleep. This was a very complicated situation and he needed to help somehow so they could fix it. The elf King had helped him quite a few times, excluding that incident where he stepped on his unconscious head so Luke felt bed just sleeping in the same bed with him and doing nothing. For a while though it felt good, being together. It reminded him of the happy moments they spent together and Allias' personality was always charming. It was as if, with a first glance he could put a spell on you. 

He sneaked in his father's office. It was empty at this time of night and he tried to search through the drawers as quietly as he could. Papers, papers and more papers but he couldn't find nowhere what he was looking for. It was a magic sheet. There you could write a letter, light it up on fire and it would magically get to the receiver. For the first time Luke wondered where his father was getting all these magic supplies. There couldn't be some kind of magical bookstore out there, right?

The magic paper was hidden, deep into the wooden drawer underneath a few books. It had a pretty deep purple color in the shape of a post-it note, maybe a bit bigger. It also smelled of strong herbs and the wolf wrinkled his nose when he got it into his hands, not liking the aroma. He found a pen in a hurry and wrote a few words, making sure that Theseus, after reading it would come running. He actually thought of putting a few bad words in it too but he didn't want to start a war. 

"What are you doing here?" he heard a question and jumped surprised. For a second the thought of his father catching him right in the act terrified him, but when his eyes met with Alexander's he calmed down, only just a bit. 

"I..I am writing a letter." Luke said and found a golden lighter on the desk. It was his father's with a wolf head engraved to it. In a hurry he set the letter on fire, just to make sure that Alexander wouldn't want to read it. It would be hard to explain its content. 

"To whom?" he asked again, standing at the doorframe. Luke smiled awkwardly scratching the back of his neck and placed the few remaining magical sheets into the drawer, underneath the books just like he had found them. 

"It's a secret." He said playfully, hoping that Alexander would overlook it. Take it as a silly joke but the young man looked serious as he walked inside. He sat in one of the armchairs, crossing his legs while his usually kind eyes shot daggers at him. 

"We need to talk, you have been avoiding me ever since I left the hospital and now I fond you sending secret letters into the night." Alexander said and for a second he squeezed his eyes, tilting his head to the side. Luke heard him sniff the air, one or twice and when he caught the smell on him a subtle expression of shock rested on his face. "Why do you smell like the elf King?" he asked him and stood up. "Is he here?"

"What? No. Let me explain." Luke said as he noticed that Alexander was trying to leave the room and possibly head to his bedroom. The wolf grabbed his arm halting him but Alexander was not in a very good mood. He had been running around all these days trying to find a chance to talk to him but all he did was avoid him. He finally found his alone only to realize that he was possibly hiding his old love in his bedroom. 

"Explain what? So he is here" Alexander said pulling his arm away and rushing out into the corridor. He didn't have to reach the room to meet with the King actually. He was walking alone, in the middle of the night, barefoot with his head messy from being rubbed into the pillow and half opened eyes. 

At first he noticed only Luke and spoke only to him.

"Why did you leave?" he asked and a weird sound came out from Luke's mouth. It was as if he was trying to say something but the same time he was choking on his own words. "Oh, hey kid" he said when he noticed Alexander, the teen staring at them back and forth. 

"That's really low Luke, even for you" Alexander said completely ignoring the king and Allias frowned, not understanding the situation. 

"Well I don't want to intrude or anything so byee" Allias told them and turned around ready to return to the room.

"Did you two do anything?" Alexander asked, his lips forming a thin like as he waited for Allias answer. 

"He tried to kiss me I guess." The elf said and scratched his head while he yawned. "Listen kid, I am just here to crash for the night so like don't worry? Or something like that." Allias said and Alexander stared at him confused. "Yeah I know something's wrong with me you don't have to stare at me. Anyways. Good night" he said wanted to avoid their upcoming lover's quarrel but he didn't make it any further. 

A loud noise echoed in the compound, coming right from the front entrance stopping everything they had been doing.

"What the fuck was that?" Luke exclaimed.
