I Scored Myself A Mate

"Don't follow me!" Alex exclaimed, turning back and looking at the handsome elf who walked a few meters away from him. He had his hands in his pockets, a relaxed smile on his face as he crushed branches and fallen leaves under his heavy boots. 

"I am not." Theseus said and smiled widely, making the green eyed man scoff and roll his eyes. "I am just going back to the cottage. Is that a bad thing?" he asked him.

"Go back to where you came from." Alex told him. 

"From the cottage then." He responded, his eyes playful as he watched him get annoyed. 

"You know what I mean!" 

"I don't though." Theseus whispered and shrugged his shoulders. Alex let out an annoyed sigh that was somehow mixed with a very loud groan before he turned his back on him again and started walking. He could hear the elf behind him, following him while he moved back to the cottage. Sometimes he would talk too, not to him in particular but he would comment about something that he saw, or a flower that was pretty. Alex was getting more and more annoyed by the second, this feeling of someone tailing you, his eyes always drilled to the back of his head. He turned around for one last time. "Hi" Theseus said with a stunning smile and his heart fluttered. 

What was this? He wondered. Just a second ago he was annoyed but now, now his heart was acting like a lonely puppy, jumping up and down just at the sight of a smile. He was ridiculous. Yes, Alex scolded himself, lost in his thoughts for a second. He took in a deep breath, trying to calm down, his heart and his mind. It was a clash actually. The thoughts of wanting to run away and the desire of simply standing there, admiring this suffocatingly annoying man. 

"You can't do this to me." Alex finally stated and Theseus tilted his head to the side, curious. 

"What did I do that's so bad? I am not bothering you. I am not even talking to you, I am just going on my way, nice and good." he said. "But tell me, why are you so bothered by me?" Theseus asked. 

"I wonder why? You appear before me, saying some shit about this book and then telling me to follow you home being all angry and stuff and then the next day you're completely different. I do not understand your games and I do not like it." Alex explained. He was pointing a finger at him, a strand of hair falling right in front of his ace and the elf blew at it to make it move. Theseus started laughing, seeing how adorable he was and approached him. 

"Want me to explain to you what I am doing?" he asked him, not expecting an answer. "Well, it's actually quite simple. I just want to be around you. When I am near you I can finally feel happy again. When I look at you, your eyes, when I hear your voice and see that adorable grumpy expression of yours I simply feel like things will go well. You might not remember me but I do. I remember you and every single detail about you. I won't  pressure you, I won't even try to take you home, even though there are people there who really miss you but at least, what I want is to be able to exist next to you. Nothing more, just be." Theseus said. 

Alex blinked, in awe by his words. He felt like his breath was stuck on his chest,  unable to get out. How could he say things like that? He wondered as Theseus stared at him with a gentle expression on his face. There it was, Alex noticed it. That sadness had returned in his eyes, like a ghost that's haunting him, a trauma he didn't know about. Alex couldn't look into his eyes for too long, he felt guilty, as if he was the reason for that pain that hid behind the endless purple. He averted his gaze, turning his head and his cheeks turned red, the words still running around in his mind. 

"I want to remember." Alex said and Theseus nodded. 

"I am sure you will." he encouraged him and the green eyed elf looked at him shyly. "I will be here, to help you." 

"What if I can't remember though?" he asked, a small insecurity being created inside of him, tugging on his chest. He was here because he was looking for the old Alex. The one he was supposed to be so what would happen if he…if he couldn't remember? The man suddenly felt very scared. 

Would Theseus leave? Would he be disappointed? He couldn't ask these questions. He wasn't confident enough about the answer he would get and honestly he was perplexed. Why was he so afraid that he would leave? Didn't he just ask him to return to where he came from? Alex's mind was a battle, he could hear the swords colliding. He didn't know what he wanted, he didn't know who he was. 

"Are you scared?" Theseus asked him, catching on to his feelings easily. 

"N-no." he stuttered. "I just wanted to know, what would happen if I couldn't remember?" he repeated his question, feeling like he needed an answer. 

"I don't know." Theseus said. "I don't know about the rest, I don't know about back home. All I know is about me and I, I would still love you, even if I had to make you love all over again." he said.
