“I can’t leave Abel behind.” Zadkiel tried to choose less offensive words this time.

“We’ll come back for him later. He’s going to join us as well.” Irvin informed Zadkiel but Abel stood up from bed again in protest.

“And why would I go with you?” He gave a sharp look to Irvin.

“For the same reason, you’re making me do this!” Zadkiel was the one who responded, making it clear he wasn’t going to argue.

“Damn, man. Y’all are super humans and shit. What am I gonna do between you guys?” He didn’t like the idea of being in a circle where he’d be the slowest and the weakest.

But of course, before anyone could say anything, Abel opened his mouth again to say the next golden words that would be written down in history as golden quotes by Abel Brian.

“Tell your pet to stop ogling at me,” Abel spoke, giving Sean a weird look.

“I’m not his pet!” Sean growled, moving forward towards Abel but Abel didn’t even flinch. He grunted, glaring at Abel to show him if he didn’t shut up, he’d regret it.

“I’ve seen enough movies to know ‘barking dogs seldom bite’.” He winked at Sean who was barely putting it together.

“Did you just quote an idiom? Who even use idioms in real life?” Sean scoffed at him.

“People who pass their English tests.” Abel stayed put on his seat but kept Sean on edge. Zadkiel ignored Abel and Sean who seemed to keep going without a stop.

“Are you here with Father’s permission?” Zadkiel asked Irvin.

“Do you think I could even stand in his building without his permission?” Irvin faked a shocked expression.

“Tell me, do you want to come with me?” Irvin asked him, moving closer to Zadkiel.

“I do but I can’t. I can’t leave Abel here on his own.” Zadkiel gave Irvin a tight-lipped smile.

“You know I made the right decision to bring Sean today because now your Abel problem has also solved.” Irvin gave him a small smile. Zadkiel’s eyebrows furrowed.

“OK! ENOUGH!” They both turned their heads to Sean who looked like he would just burst any time now.

“What happened now?” Irvin frowned.

“This guy is crazy! In the last five minutes, he told me like 15 random science facts to make me acknowledge that science never lies and we guys don’t fit any explanation of science!” Sean freaked out and stood behind Irvin. Zadkiel looked at Abel who looked too proud of himself. Zadkiel did his best to hide his smile but he couldn’t.

“He’s lying. I also told him that a teaspoon full of neutron stars would actually weigh six billion tons.” Abel pointed his finger at Sean, smirking.

“You managed to scare the general of my pack.” Irvin raised an eyebrow at him. Abel shrugged.

“You should fire him and hire someone braver.” He shrugged, a teasing smirk still on his face. Sean was giving him a hard glare.

“I’m not scared of him.” He scoffed at Abel and they both started the banter again.

“What’s their problem?” Zadkiel whispered to Irvin who bent his knees from behind Zadkiel and hunched down to Zadkiel’s ear level.

“They’re mates,” Irvin whispered in Zadkiel’s ear, running a cold shiver down his spine. Zadkiel turned around with wide eyes and a smile on his face.

“Really?! But Abel is human. Right?” Zadkiel questioned.

“Yeah. Doesn’t really matter.” Irvin shrugged, looking at two guys arguing like kids and now over the fact of banana is a berry or not.

“Then it’s settled. Abel and I will move out together.” Zadkiel said to Irvin who shook his head instantly.

“No… For Abel, we have to offer him a proper job and then residency to make it look like it’s just a job offer. We can’t draw too much suspicion towards us. But for you, we’ve already decided that it’s your health excuse. I can’t stay away from you.” Irvin pleaded.

“How long it will take?” Zadkiel inquired.

“Umm… a week or two,” Irvin answered.

“Then we both are leaving this place in a week or two. I really can’t leave Abel behind with all the information he has about me and for how he always stood up for me.” Zadkiel told Irvin who sighed but nodded in understanding.

“Fine.” He uttered but then grabbed Zadkiel’s hand and turned him around to face him. He stared at Zadkiel who was staring back at him, breathing heavily. He didn’t know when his breaths picked up the pace but he was sure it did when Irvin entered the building. He just happened to notice it now.

Irvin leaned down and moved closer to Zadkiel’s neck. He didn’t make contact with the skin but inhaled deeply. The scent calmed his rabid nerves and soothed him to the core. Irvin placed a chaste kiss on Zadkiel’s neck, making Zadkiel let out an inhumane and shrill whimper. Irvin smirked against his skin, placed another kiss before pulled back.

“She’s in there,” Irvin smirked at Zadkiel who was still recovering from what just happened. Eyes closed, lips parted and hot and heavy breaths leaving his mouth.

“You look beautiful.” Irvin lifted his hand to caress Zadkiel’s cheek to which the latter leaned in and melted like ice cream but then his mind comprehended what Irvin had said previously.

“Who’s she?” Zadkiel questioned, now eyes wide open and staring at Irvin’s green orbs.

“You’ll know.” Irvin winked at him before pulling back his hand. “For now, I think we should go. Mr Joseph can’t hold the kids in the lounge for long.” Irvin added and turned to the general who he brought with him thinking would be helpful but ended up arguing with a kid over a banana.

“Sean, let’s go.” He called him and Sean instantly gave a nod before following Irvin.

“By the way, the kid’s right. Banana is a berry.” Irvin whispered to Sean who sorrowed.

“No. How?” Sean was just in shock that he lost to a kid over a dumb science fact.

“Next time bring a science book with you,” Abel yelled from behind only to get a smack on his head by Zadkiel.

“What is your problem?!” Zadkiel gave him an annoyed look.

“His annoyed face is cute so I thought why not.” He chuckled plopping down on the bed with a satisfied smile on his face.

Zadkiel just shook his head, smiling to himself. He couldn’t believe he found a way to finally get out of this hell. He had dreamt about it for a long time now. He wanted to escape this prison since the day he understood that Father wasn’t his father.

“Abel, you have to go with me. I can’t leave you here.” Zadkiel spoke, lying on his own bed. Abel turned his head to Zadkiel and frowned.

“No. Zadkiel, I can’t. You know that I don’t belong there.” Abel refused, propping on his elbow to face Zadkiel who was still lying flat on his back.

“When you didn’t know about all of this… you wanted me to go with Irvin because you knew it would be an escape so, just think of it as an escape,” Zadkiel spoke, turning to him. “And maybe you do belong there.” Zadkiel winked at Abel who knitted his brows together, making few distress creases on his forehead.

“Belong with a bunch of supernatural creatures? No, thank you.” Abel rolled his eyes and laid back, facing the ceiling again.

“I’m your best friend and I’m a supernatural creature,” Zadkiel spoke in a taunting tone. Abel sighed.

“That’s different.” He was quick to say that.

“I’m not taking no for an answer. I’m taking you with me.” Zadkiel mumbled, lying flat on his back again.

“You do know that Father won’t allow that, right?” Abel asked him still staring at the ceiling.

“I’m sure Sean will figure out something.” Zadkiel smiled knowingly though he knew Father wouldn’t put up a protest for Abel because Abel was a normal human being and him getting an opportunity to make a life outside this orphanage was what Father wanted for every kid here, except Zadkiel. After all, he wasn’t like other kids and Father wanted to hide him from the world in fear.

“Why would he figure out something? From what I know, that guy would do anything to avoid to me now.” Abel chuckled and was way too proud of what he did earlier.

“I know he will,” Zadkiel mumbled, sighing. Abel also exhaled heavily, thinking about Sean. There was something about him that was fascinating him though he wouldn’t admit it ever.

“Are they still in the building?” Abel asked Zadkiel. He just wanted to see Sean again.

“Yes,” Zadkiel murmured, closing his eyes. After so many days, he felt himself at peace because he was now sure that Irvin hadn’t broken the bond.

But now he knew how much the breaking of the bond would hurt because the pain he felt just because of the news of Irvin’s marriage was hard to endure. He could only imagine the agony he would’ve been in if the bond had broken.

“Once they leave, Father will come up here and ask us what they said,” Zadkiel informed Abel who nodded, absentmindedly. Zadkiel knew what he was thinking and he smirked.

“It's common for the first time. It would’ve been worse if you were like me.” Zadkiel stated, judging that Abel was in the mind battle.

“What are you talking about?” Abel was confused and didn’t understand what Zadkiel meant.

“Nothing,” Zadkiel mumbled that before turning to his side, facing away from Abel to let him know, he was going to sleep now.
