I Scored Myself A Mate

"I am scared. I am always scared. All the time. About everything. I just…I sometimes think that me coming back was a mistake, maybe it would be better if I had stayed dead. Maybe that way everyone would have been happier Theseus. I…I…think that I shouldn't have come back." He told his lover. Theseus' eyes widened. His heart froze. For the first time in his life he had been terrified by someone's words and that empty look in their eyes. He grabbed Allias, he hugged him tightly. He couldn't let go. 

"You can't leave me. No, not again." He mumbled. "We will bring Mark back. I will fix it. I will fix everything I swear." He said. "You can't leave me Allias. You can't let go." 

Loving was hard, opening up about yourself, showing your weakest parts, your most secret fears was frightening. Theseus had done all of that. Time and time again he had opened his beaten and tired heart like an open book for Allias to read. He glanced through the yellowish pages with his beautiful eyes. He saw through the lies and the hidden meanings. He had learned him by heart, the roughness of the cover, the sweet smell of the old pages. Allias had managed to read that difficult book so easily. Like the genius he was he had decrypted the codes, the hidden words and so easily he had managed to charm Theseus. 

The white haired general though, after all these years was still troubled. Still, he found it difficult to read through the blurry lines in Allias' book. He would grasp it, hold it gently in his hands, read a page and then it would be like all the letters disappeared. The ink had been spilled turning the them dark, hiding the most important parts. To Theseus Allias' heart was not just a book, it was a gem, shining brightly, vibrant green the keeper of spring. His heart was his own source of living; the only way he could feel happy. Even after hundreds of years he was not able to make it his completely, he hadn't managed to understand it fully and that hurt him. Made him wonder if the things he did. The sweet words he whispered, the kisses he shared weren't enough. Made him wonder if he, the mad Shadowcaster was not enough. 

Allias slithered away from his embrace. He gave the general a bitter smile, his eyes still soulless. 

"Sorry, sorry. We have bigger things to worry about. I…you know I get all dramatic sometimes. How about we talk about the sisters. Come on, tell me your plan." He said and waltzed towards the bed, he sat on the soft mattress and patted the space next to him, signaling Theseus to sit. The man stared at him for second, he was trying to change the subject, he was trying desperately to hide his weakness. Allias was being drawn in by his shadows and because he was scared to show it he always put a mask on. Theseus couldn't let it go, not after hearing those words. He sat next to Allias as he was told and placed his hand on his thigh. He looked at him silent before he moved forward and kissed him. 

The kiss was rough and desperate, filled with love and worry. Theseus was begging, pleading for the elf king not to leave him, not to disappear. He cupped Allias' face and pushed him on the bed, he wished to devour him, he wished for him not to worry about anything. He bit Allias' bottom lip, making the king moan. He dived his hand in the snow like hear, melting into the passionate kiss. He loved the feeling of Theseus' hair slipping through his fingers. His tongue exploring his mouth, the sweet taste of his lips. He loved it when he moved back and smiled at him, like he did now. He would smile and kiss his nose, a simple peck, so short like the rest of a butterfly. 

"I love you Allias. I will always be there for you. No matter what you feel, no matter how many times you fall I will be there." Theseus whispered and laid down next to him on the bed. Allias turned to the side, resting on his chest, hiding his face in the crook of his neck. 

"I keep scaring you and making you anxious. Forgive me." He said and Theseus chuckled. 

"I get anxious even when your breakfast is not on time my love. So do not worry." He comforted him and for the first time in hours Allias had a positive reaction. He giggled, such a sweet sound, filling the general with joy. "I am serious Allias. You and I. We are and have always been in this together. Forever." 

"Forever?" Allias asked him. 

"Till the world ends, till the sun explodes. Till the ice on this earth melts and everything gets flooded. Until the moon stops lighting up the night sky. Forever. Forever." Theseus told him lovingly. "You are forbidden of making any thoughts about disappearing or else I will disappear with you. We've done this before and you know very well that I will do it." He warned him with a strict look. 

"You should value your life more my love." Allias said and kissed his cheek. 

"I value my life. My life with you because I've been without you but that Allias, was not living. It was simply existing." Theseus said and Allias scoffed, embarrassed. 

"Well you do seem quite romantic today but we have work to do. We need to resurrect my dead best friend so tell me, about the Chaos Sisters." Allias said as he stood up. 

"I love you Allias." Theseus told him with a bright smile and the elf king nodded. 

"I love you too. More than you can imagine."
