I Scored Myself A Mate

"Yes. I am tired. I wanted to get away from you. I want to die so I will never see you again." Allias lied and watched Theseus expression alter. He wasn't mad anymore. He was just…hurt. He had hurt him again with his words. His pain would be over soon though. He would be okay one day. 

"Do you want to get rid of me so badly?"

"Yes."

"Sucks to be you then because we are dying together I guess." Theseus said and without a second doubt he swallowed the whole bottle, turning it around in the end to show that there was nothing left. "Pity. I am dying alone as it seems." He said 

"What have you done?" Allias screamed. 

He ran towards Theseus, his expression showing a morbid terror as the man looked at him with a wide grin. He slapped the bottle away from his hand, even if it didn't make much of a difference and it fell to the floor breaking into hundreds of small pieces. 

The High General stumbled back, placing his palm on top of his heart and clenching on his black shirt. He wore a very obvious frown, filled with pain and wrinkles formed between his eyebrows, he bit his lip and closed his eyes trying not to shout. He stumbled on a medical bed and his free hand offered him some much needed support. 

The liquid slowly but steadily was turning his whole body numb after it hurt every vital area as if he was being pierced by a thousand needles. His beating heart began to slow down and the color left his luscious lips, turning them a freezing blue. 

"Why? Why did you drink it?" Allias asked filled with desperation. "were is the antidote Theseus? Where is it?"

"Now you can be happy." Theseus said and Allias took in a sharp breath. "I don't want you to die. I prefer to die a thousand times rather than see you suffer."

"Oh Gods, how can you be so stupid?" Allias said and capped his face. "I don't hate you. I am not mad at you. How do you think I would feel if you died?" Allias asked him, sniffling between his words. 

"How would I feel then if I let you die?" Theseus asked him and Allias felt the pain from his side for the first time. 

This fear, this shock that the one you love might die and you can do nothing about it was world breaking. Those were the exact moments someone could understand how powerless they were. No one could meddle with life and death, no matter how strong you were or how fast or how smart and watching those beloved people slowly burn away like a melting candle was devastating. This pain was what Theseus had been feeling all this time. The pain of facing another's death, the wonder if he was still alive and then having to see the one you love lose himself piece by piece. Allias had done that to him, he had made him crumble, kneel before him and make him beg. Not to forgive him, not to be nice to him, not to love him but he had begged him to live. That's all that he wanted. He wanted Allias to live even if it meant being hated by him because he was powerless, because he couldn't protect him when he needed him the most. 

So feeling the exact same thing as his lover did Allias, the future king of the elf nation, the son of the sun removed his hands from Theseus' cold and pale face and he took a very careful step back. He looked at him, sadness overflowing inside him, guilt and remorse for his behavior. He kneeled before him. A king was kneeling before him, his head fallen, facing the floor and somehow Theseus believed that this movement of his had woken the whole kingdom up. He felt shivers down his spine as he watched the top of Allias' head and his golden diadem fell, making an almost deafening sound in the deadly silence. Right in front of him, one of the most powerful and noble creatures on this earth was kneeling and he was ready to beg. Ready to beg for his lover not to leave him. 

"I am begging you. Where is the antidote?" He asked him, his voice shaking and breaking as he uttered every word with difficulty.

"What's the point of me living if you decide to die anyway?"

"I won't. I won't try to die anymore" Allias said feeling embarrassed. He couldn't meet Theseus' lilac eyes and witness the pain in his expression. His hands were touching the cold floor and he could feel them shake in fear. He was terrified he didn't have that much time. 

"And why should I believe you?" Theseus asked him but for a few seconds he didn't receive an answer. "See? You don't even believe yourself." 

Allias didn't know how to express himself. How to show him that he understood now the pain he put him through, the anguish of separation was great and he shouldn't have belittled him for that. He should have let him in, rest in his embrace and let him soothe his pain with gentle words but he was too embarrassed and too disgusted to do that. Afraid of people's words, of their judgmental eyes, afraid of the world who always seemed to observe him. Theseus was not like that though; he shouldn't have forgotten it. 

Finally, he realized it. A way to get through to him. Honesty. Only then, only when he left behind all of his fears, all of his darkened thoughts and insecurities would Theseus believe him. He would see he was talking to him and that the words he spoke of were real. Filled with care. 

So he raised his head in a hurry, his brunet lock falling back and the tears at the corners of his eyes shone like little diamonds. His lips were slightly parted as he was ready to speak and Theseus while looking at his divine image felt his heart beat faster, even though he was almost fully numb. It was like Allias was giving him the force to live, even just for a quick moment, like the explosion of a bright firework. 

"Because I love you!" He shouted. "I am sorry. You hurt too, now I know. I am so scared right now that you won't change your mind. Actually I am terrified that we could end like this. We were meant to be forever, weren't we? You told me that so now you're lying? You can't die Theseus." Allias said and stood up. "Not until I tell you to. Your life belongs to me. You are mine." He said. "And I can't handle the pain of you leaving. I just can't and I was stupid. I was scared and I was mad. Let's just go back, please. Let's lie down and heal each other like we always do. Please" e continued and took a step closer, hiding his face in his chest. Theseus embraced him feeling the warmth of his body and smiled. 

"That sound wonderful." He responded and the prince looked at him, hope igniting his eyes. 

"Okay then, where is the antidote?" he asked him again and Theseus chuckled. 

"I don't know" He told him and Allias exhaled loudly.

"What?"

"I don't know. This was kind of a last minute decision. More like an impulse, you know I was a bit made at you and all and I just did it" Theseus told him and scratched his head awkwardly. 

"You're joking."

"Nope. Not at all. I am freaking out right now because I am really dying. I can't feel my right hand" he said and tried to move his arm but his muscles wouldn't obey him. 

"You're not serious" Allias said and began rummaging through the glass cupboards, opening all the drawers in the desk in a hurry, trying to look at every possible spot for a remedy that could save Theseus. 

"How about you go get the doctor?" 

"Yes, may the whole kingdom learn how lame we are now. Wait here. Don't move!" he told him pointing a finger at him strictly and headed towards the door. 

"Allias." Theseus called out to him making him stop. "If you know, I am dead when you come back just know that…I love you and those nights that I got to embrace you and talk to you until the sunrise will always be my favorite and yeah, the other nights." He told him winking at him. "If you know what I mean."

"Shut the fuck up." Allias told him angrily and sprinted through the corridors to find the doctor's chambers so the doctor could heal Theseus. He cursed that teleportation was a gift only of the Disee Tribe. If he could do that things would have been so much easier. He began shouting wanting to alert everyone and the servants appeared, dressed in night dresses and robes wondering what all this fuss was about. Theseus wouldn't be dying tonight.
