"Then how about I tell you a very…spicy story about the Avgee Prince?" He told him and his smiled was almost like that of a sneaky devil. Alex swallowed a lump that had formed in neck and tried to calm his beating heart. He looked incredibly charming standing there on the doorframe with his arms crossed above his chest, grinning.

"Spicy?"

"Oh, Yeah…spicy."

"Tell me" Alex said and sat on his bed patting the soft spot next to him for Theseus to follow and do the same. The white haired man very willingly sat next to him and Alex turned towards him, crossing his legs on the bed and supporting his head on his hands, like s small boy waiting for a story time. 

Looking at him and adoring the sight of unmeasurable cuteness Theseus began talking eagerly, always leaving out a few small details like names because as he said he didn't remember or the information was unclear but in his mind the story was still alive, like it almost happened yesterday. 

Theseus' true story.

"Allias, Allias please wait for me!" A teenage boy shouted while Allias was very eagerly trying to run away. 

Once again he had run away into the central village, this time though it was morning and as he walked past the Dream lake, he realized that someone was tailing him! It was impossible for him to just get some peace and quiet from time to time.

He looked around and behind the tree he had spotted the young Disee Prince of the royal family now almost seventeen years old. He was gripping the trunk of the tree firmly hiding behind it intending not to be seeing. It was a shame and kind of funny how his sword that was fastened on his belt just jumped out from the side. 

His family had come to visit for a meeting and the only son and successor of the Disee throne seemed to not let him out of his sight. Alex had approached him when he had arrived, wanting to find out about the raven haired man he hadn't seen in many years, still thinking about him but the young prince was reluctant into giving him any actual information, so the equally but slightly older Avgee prince had gotten annoyed with him and avoided him for the rest of his trip here. If he wanted to be a spoiled brat, he could do it too. 

So he started running, pity really because he actually wanted to sit in the outskirts of the village and relax at the crystal blue lake, maybe even swim a bit not minding the slightly cold weather. 

His plans had obviously been ruined because right now Allias, a twenty-four-year-old prince, the next ruler of the elf nation was playing tag with a seventeen-year-old prince who just didn't seem to give up! So he jumped above merchant stalls, knocking down a few fruits, turned into dark alleys and climbed walls just to outrun him but this kid honestly was fast. 

At some point Allias got tired and stopped, making the teenage Disee Elf stop abruptly too and almost fall from the fall. He crossed his arms above his chest and tapped his boot to the ground angrily waiting an explanation for this. 

"What is it Ares? Please tell me why you can't just leave me alone!" Allias asked him and the boy scratched the back of his head messing up his neatly made raven hair. They had a blue undertone in them and were parted to the side with a very neat undercut. His eyes had the color of a ruby and he had a small beauty mark underneath his left eye. 

"I…Well you see. I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me?" The prince asked him and Allias' eyes widened in shock. 

"What?"

"You know I've always admired you and I heard you are not seeing anyone right now so I thought maybe I had a chance with you. It's alright to say no but please take some time to consider me"

Allias looked at him and tried to understand if he was actually serious. He had never looked at Ares as a man, actually he had never looked at anyone else other than Theseus and while he was gone he had never even considered of not waiting for him or flirting with another person but right now not just anyone but the official heir to the Disee throne was asking him out, in bare daylight, cheeks blushed, awkward hand movements and all and he realized that he was in a very sensitive situation. 

"Look Ares…the truth is that I…"

"He is sleeping with your brother Ares that's such a pity." Someone completed his sentence in a very impolite manner and Allias looked up only to face Theseus looking at him from above. He was standing on a brick wall at the end of the alley Ares had managed to corner Allias. None of the two princes had actually noticed him up until now.

Allias looked at them, his pretty eyes going back and forth filled with questions? They were brothers? How and when? If they were brothers that meant that Theseus was the member of the royal family and he hadn't told him. He barely knew anything about Theseus after all even though they knew each other for years. They weren't exactly in a relationship but at the same times both of them knew that there was something there. After that time that Theseus revealed the trafficking party they had met quite a few times but their meetings had always been bittersweet and lasting too short as the raven haired boy had to disappear all the time in some unknown mission. This time he had informed him it was something in the Demonic Capital. 

"You and Ares are brothers?" Allias asked remembering that he had used his brother as bait. They had met a few times at the same scenery and still both of them hadn't said anything. They acted like they were strangers in front of everyone. Wait that meant he had used the Disee Prince, a child of the royal family as bait! Was he insane? Allias wondered as more and more questions formed on his mind.

"Half-brother" Ares said as if he was insulted to be called his brother. "He is the king's, my father's, bastard son. He had him with a whore" he insulted him but Theseus only shrugged his shoulders, his hands in the pockets of his black pants. As it seemed he didn't mind the insult or possibly he was used to it already.

"You never told me" Allias said and looked at Theseus completely ignoring Ares. How could he keep such information hidden?

"He didn't because he is the embarrassment of the kingdom. No one likes him and he is just father's guard dog doing only the hard work in hope that one day he will die out there." Ares explained filled with hate. 

"But Still every single time I come back stronger and eager to annoy you little brother." Theseus said and winked at his brother playfully. 

"Stop talking and apologize from the prince about tarnishing his name in such a manner. How could you say something like that?" Ares told him and Theseus began laughing offending him even more. He didn't seem to really have a filter about the whole situation and it always worried Allias, that attitude of his would someday get him in real trouble.

"But it's the truth" He said "I have been following you guys around for a while now. I mean I just returned from the Demonic Capital happy to see you Allias dearest and what do I see? My brother trying to steal my man. What kind of cruel world is this?? Shame I have to leave again."

"Wait…you have to leave? Again?" Allias asked him in shock. Apparently he had just arrived and there was such a big revelation right in front of them but he didn't think about telling him he is sorry or even staying. When would he decide to simply stay so Allias wouldn't be afraid that every time he would wake he wouldn't find anyone next to him, just a single well written letter on Theseus' pillow about how this would be the last time and that they would be together the next. He had been living with this longing and sadness for years and this is what he gets?

"Yes, my father requested that I deal with some trash at the Disee border. They are rogue vampires in search for immortal blood. How did they even get inside the portal?" Theseus said.

"So you two…really know each other?" Ares asked, his handsome face turning sad. 

"I told you that…"

"Yes, but it's not what this idiot says" Allias said annoyed by Theseus' attitude. He couldn't just sit around and wait. He had asked him many times to follow him in battle but he always refused saying it was too dangerous or that he wouldn't be allowed. Well, he wasn't some kind of desperate boy that would wait forever and if he was going to have this kind of obnoxious attitude even to him, he would have to pay. It was game on.

"Really?" the boy asked his excitement returning fast as he looked at Allias filled with hope. On the other hand, Theseus kept quiet, observing the golden prince waiting to hear what he actually meant with his words.

"Yes and about that date…I would be honored to go with you" Allias said with a very charming smile that made the younger boy blush like crazy.

"T-thank you…" Ares stuttered and a scoff was heard coming from Theseus. This time he didn't look so cool and composed as he swept his hair back and looked at Allias with judgmental eyes

"You are full of shit" he told him and without saying another word he disappeared leaving behind him thick smoke.
