I Scored Myself A Mate

Goodbyes were never easy. Especially when you had to leave the person that saved your life. Naila had been his friend all this time, accepted him and helped him and now that he remembered she seemed to be filled with joy about it. She congratulated him and hugged him tightly, patting his back.

The king had proposed to her to come to the elf kingdom, train the doctors there but she had kindly declined, saying now that Allias was leaving she would start traveling again, making sure that people all over the Veil were getting the help they needed. She never asked the king for anything, she was selfless and in general a kind person. Allias had come to like her so much that he even tried to bribe her into coming with him.

The fairy had laughed, patting his shoulder but once more she had denied. Money meant nothing to her, not even the gold he promised her. 

And just like that that huge chapter in his life had ended. He followed Theseus and the rest back home, feeling finally relieved from everything. There was no weight on his chest any longer, no torturing nightmares during the long nights of spring. He could lay down next to his lover and simply enjoy being with him. That was enough for now. He got to joke with Mark and listen to Ares' complaints about the poor accommodation. After three whole years he had finally returned to where he was supposed to be, with his people.

Theseus wouldn't stop looking at him, as they walked through thick forests, as their feet dived in the golden sands of the shores and as they climbed one or two rocky mountains his eyes would always find him, a faint smile on his face. He wouldn't say anything, just look at him and the king would feel his whole body warm up. 

It was such a weird sensation. After so long he could finally feel his heartbeat rush out of joy, excitement and as he touched Theseus' hand, their fingers intertwined he felt desire again. 

"You will trip if you keep looking at me." The elf joked while they walked back.

"Well, it's fine even if I trip. I can't stop looking at you."

"That's plainly creepy." Ares commented and Allias laughed loudly, seeing the angry frown in the general's face. The elf kingdom was beautifully seen at the end of their journey. The tall towers in the Disee palace and the little houses of the village. Allias pushed his long hair back searching his wrists for his hair tie and he sighed.

"When I get home I am getting a haircut." He mumbled.

"No you're not." Theseus said and the king looked at him, raising an eyebrow. 

"Why?"

"Long hair suits you. You look sexy" Theseus said. His voice was deep, reaching Allias' ears and making him blush. He turned his head, avoiding his gaze, the locks bouncing around him and Theseus giggled. "We need some alone time." He whispered in Theseus' ear and now the king not only had a red face but a red neck too, his pointy ears twitching together with his fluttering heart. 

He coughed, fixing his shirt and nodded, unable to really think of a sexy line to respond with.

"We do." He said and the general winked at him, the purple eyes hungrily scanning him from head to toe.

"So...after this very disturbing conversation." Ares said and stopped walking. They were just a few meters away from the kingdom's entrance, the sounds of the lively village reaching their ears. Allias stared beyond the Disee prince, catching a glimpse of the melting ice and the people passing by. With the return of his powers everything seemed to have gone back to normal, he realized letting out a relieved sigh. "How are we going to approach this whole thing? Are we like going to get in there, stroll around with the missing king?" He asked.

"We will teleport right at the palace of course." Theseus stated like there was no other option about it.

"But I would like to see the village. I have no connection with my people, no wonder they didn't mind that I was missing." Allias said. He needed to work getting their favor back, it was going to be difficult but he had to do it. Theseus had told him everything that had happened while he was gone. The main danger had disappeared for now but he did need the support of the people. 

"I think we can organize a celebration. On the village, not something proper and royal. We can announce your return there, you will have a speech and…"

"And we will announce our wedding and the fact that we want to adopt" Theseus continued Ares' sentence. Mark and the prince looked at the couple with wide eyes, shocked by the news.

"A child? I'm going to be an uncle?" Mark exclaimed happily and Allias nodded.

"You're getting married? Wait. What about an heir? Have you thought of it? Adopting? Who will continue your legacy?" Ares asked, breaking the bubble they had created. Theseus snorted, glaring at his brother. "What? Is it because I've suddenly become the voice of reason here? You're a man and Theseus is well...something. You can't reproduce and you do need an Avgee child." He reminded them.

"I know that but...all of them are dead." Allias said 

"There is always that healer."

"I can't sleep with women Ares" Allias said with a strict look. "But even if I could, I think you skipped the part of me getting married!" 

"I know." Mark said, his voice almost a whisper as his eyes showed he was thinking. "I know what we can do for you to have an Avgee child!" He exclaimed, hands in the air and a bright smile on his face.

"What?" The rest of them asked in unison.

....
