I Scored Myself A Mate

It was a sweet gathering. The people he loved the most were around him, three years later in the only place he could call home. He looked at their faces, one by one, their characteristics so familiar and so beautiful to him. He was lucky to have them, he was lucky to still be alive after everything and the memories of his journey seemed so distant at the moment.

As he sat in his chair, his most trusted people chatting, small laughter traveling from ear to ear for the first time in a while he felt contempt. It was peaceful, the atmosphere, their eyes and their voices, everything was peaceful and filled with happiness. 

He turned his head to the side, his green eyes landing on the man he had loved the most, the only man he had ever loved actually and his heart fluttered as crazily as the first day he had seen him in that dirty alley. It had been such a long time ago but his words, their first exchanged gazes were still vibrant like a photograph hanging on the wall of his room.

Allias was finally back home and everyone was alright. He wished to stay silent for a bit longer, enjoy the simple scene before him that filled him with so much joy. He didn't have to speak, he didn't want to actually, being like this was fine. 

Theseus' hand slithered and found his resting on the armrest of his chair. Their fingers entwined naturally and their eyes met, a smile appearing on the general's face. Oh, that smile, if he wanted he could charm the whole world but he didn't. Allias felt as if he was blessed, a smile like that so lethal was only for him and he was pleased to die from love every time he received it. 

Soon though the chatting stopped and his friends turned towards him. He was sitting at the head of the long table, everyone in the room viewed clearly from where he sat. Theseus, Mark, Ea, Ares and Asmodeus. Everyone was here with a little unexpected guest, not for Allias of course but for the person itself.

"Why am I here?" The beautiful woman asked and everyone looked at her. She was still a bit stern, not fully herself when she was surrounded by the men of this kingdom.

"The fact that you have the audacity to speak after everything you did." Mark told her, looking at her with big eyes and she averted her gaze. The unexpected guest was Rayla, the healer elf known as the last Avgee elf, which was not really true, but no one wanted to comment on that, yet. She felt guilty, Allias could see it from the way she looked at him but he didn't say anything. He hadn't really forgiven her but at the same time he couldn't fully blame her. She didn't know.

"I...I...didn't really want anyone to get hurt."

"Yes, you were just selfish and stupid. We get it, we all have been there." Ares said.

"Some of us are still there." Ea added, looking at his husband and Ares gasped dramatically. 

"Was that intended for me?" The red eyed elf asked and Ea shrugged his shoulders. 

"Could be, could be not. I guess we'll never know." He answered him and heard his husband click his tongue disatisfied. 

"How about you let Allias talk?" Theseus asked, his eyes looking strictly at the young couple and Ea nodded.

Allias didn't mind. He found everything enjoyable ever since he had returned. Even the classic bickering, he had missed it, even though he didn't fully remember it.

"I called you here because I wanted to ask something of you. Consider it as you amending for everything that happened. I won't force you but do know if you accept you will be rewarded handsomely." The king began saying and the woman looked at him with a curious expression, choosing though not to interrupt him. "I want you to help us have a child." Allias announced and everyone in the room looked at him in shock.

"I will not sleep with you." Rayla said.

"No, you don't get it. I won't sleep with you." He said. "I wouldn't desire a woman if I was the last man in the world and had to procreate. Sorry."

"Then how do you expect to have a child?" Rayla asked him. Mark looked at his best friend, a small smirk appearing on his face. He knew what Allias wanted, it was a good idea, that way he would get an heir and everything would be fine. He wouldn't have to sleep with her too.

"We will go to the human world and we will do it in a way the human's do. There is a procedure that will help you get pregnant without us sleeping together."

"What kind of magic could that be?" She asked him and he giggled.

"Science really" he answered her. 

"So...that will be it. I won't have to sleep with you and be a mother to the child?"

"Yes. You won't have any responsibilities. Also I will give you a mansion in the village and you can even open your own healer shop. I will find you for everything. So what do you think, will you accept?" He asked her.

They had a long talk, talking about this and that, Allias explaining everything and in the end Rayla decided she wanted some time to think about it. Everyone left, leaving the king with the general alone in the room. Theseus looked at Allias, a skeptic look on his face.

"What is it?" Allias asked. 

"Are you sure about it? This is a big step...a child"

"Are you sure about it?" Allias asked him back. "I don't want to force you to do anything. You need to want this too. I can wait if you…"

"You don't have to wait." Theseus answered him before he even managed to finish his sentence. He pushed back a stray hair of his brown hair, the lock not managing to sit behind his ear and falling again in front of his eyes. The man smiled, caressing his cheek gently and Allias closed his eyes. "It's a big step, a scary one indeed but I think that we could do alright." He said.

"Alright? We would be amazing parents." Allias exclaimed with a proud smile and Theseus nodded.

"We can try" 

"I know you will be awesome." Allias reassured him. Theseus moved closer, hugging the king, wrapping him tightly in his arms, so much that the elf coughed in his embrace, barely managing to breathe.

"I think it's impossible to actually express just how much I love you. You just exist and I feel like I will melt." Theseus confessed and Allias chuckled. 

"That is a bit too much" he told him and Theseus shook eagerly his head in a negative motion.

"It is not. It is exactly how I feel. I love you Allias. From the bottom of my heart. I want to be with you. Forever, as long as we are alive." He confessed and Allias leaned in. He kissed him, uniting their lips beautifully in a passionate kiss. Just from such a gesture he could feel it, the king knew he was being honest. 

"I love you too." Allias answered. "To the moon and back, forever and ever until this world is destroyed. I love you, I love you, I love you." The king said, culling his face with an adorable smile.

"So, is this the start of a new story?" Theseus asked him.

"Yes. A more peaceful story I hope." He joked and Theseus raised his eyebrows.

"That...we will see."

It had been a long journey, from the start to the end. It had been a road filled with tears, blood and thorns but at the same time Allias would never forget the laughter, the jokes and the love he received. It was painful but also rewarding. He was back home where he belonged with the people he belonged with. He looked at Theseus, seeing in his purple eyes a whole new world opening up to him. A feature, endless mornings and beautiful days. He could see all that in his face, nesting in his soul. 

He loved him, so much.

Forever.
