Allias found himself in his room back in the elf palace. He was surrounded by his stuff, his furniture and he could see his bed. It was a familiar place, a room he had spent a lot of time with the love of his life. Wrapped in the silky sheets, embraced by the strong general. It was a space he felt comfortable. In peace. Like no one could touch him or bother him. He was in a similar moment right now. In his safe space with Theseus'' arms around him. There was only a very tiny difference. Just a small detail.


    He was kicking and groaning trying very hard to release himself from Theseus'' arms. He had him in a headlock while the king was screaming to be set free. In a moment of desperation he dived his teeth in his arm. The white haired general hissed as he felt Allias'' jaw close around his arm with incredible power and let go of him with force, the handsome elf stumbled forward landing on the cold floor face first.


    "What are you? A hippo?" Theseus asked as he examined the bite mark Allias had left on his body. The man turned around as he rubbed his hurt nose and looked at him with a frown. His eyebrows were forrowed and his eyes were close to shooting fire. He was furious with him. The elf smiled awkwardly as he took a defensive step back. "Let''s talk about it. I did it for your own good my love"


    Allias got up, his hands forming dangerous fists as he smiled. His eyes were wide, angered by what his lover had done without his permission. He was so angry with him at the moment that he couldn''t think straight. The king could just teleport back for he room but his need to beat up Theseus turned his mind hazy.


    "Your love? Your love? Your love?" Allias shouted and Theseus retreated, getting on top of the bed just to get away. "Are you insane? You took us away while Mark, my best friend. My human, mortal friend with a Murderer. But not the simple version. The premium one, a murderer with divine powers a demon, an immortal, one of the kings of hell! And you''re telling me this is for my own good? I''m worried sick Theseus." He said and sighed. The general stood up. He approached his lover and tried to hug him, without head locking him this time but Allias didn''t let him. He got away, standing at the other side of the room.


    "He is old enough. You''re not his mother Allias. He has things he want to do too. You can shield him and bring him everywhere like your pet." Theseus told him and the elf king gasped dramatically.


    "How dare you? I have been doing everything. Everything in my power to keep him safe and you...."


    "No!" Theseus said raising his tone. "You''ve done everything to keep him here Allias! To keep him with you. Mark has to decide for himself what he wants to do. You love him and he loves you too but you won''t find your lost humanity in him. Alex is gone. There is nothing you can do about it. If he wants to stay here he can but you can''t shield him for everything hoping that by doing it he won''t leave." He said.


    Hearing that Allias turned around. He didn''t like the sound of Theseus'' words. He made him sound as if he was selfish, as if he didn''t care about Mark''s feelings or his needs. It wasn''t that though, at least it wasn''t like that.


    "I''m scared." Allias said, without looking at his lover. "I am scared that if anything happens to him I will feel this excruciating guilt again. I know it sounds selfish. I know. I am scared that he will leave and then there would be nothing left of my old life. I am scared that he will die and I will lose my best friend. I am scared that I will lose the only person who I had when I was human." The elf king said. "I want him to be happy. I want the best for him....I just..."


    "It sounds like we are talking about our son."Theseus joked trying to lighten the mood. Allias finally decided to look at him and rolled his eyes at his silly joke.


    "Ea, Ares, Mark....it is like we are taking care of a bunch of children." He agreed in the end with a subtle smile.


    "I am. You are a child too. Immature and a crybaby." Theseus teased him


    "No I am not!" The elf king retaliated and his cheek slowly turned pink. "Sorry for screaming at you earlier. You were right." He mumbled still not fully accepting his defeat. Theseus laughed and nodded, there was no way he could ever be mad at him over something like this. Allias was too beautiful even when he screamed filled with anger his beauty was a sight someone would remember their whole lives. That shine in his eyes, the silky look of his brunette locks. The flexing of his muclses as he shook his arms, expressing his displease. Theseus had stared at this man so many times. In the mornings, during the night, under the cold rain or the scorching sun. When he laughed or when he cried Allias was always perfect.


    "It''s okay." Theseus said while he walked slwlwy to where the elf king stood. He wrapped his arm around his lean waist and pushed him on him, their bodies touching. He kissed his nose he got, making him chuckle. "Angry Allias is hot Allias." He whispered in his ear, biting his lobe. Allias closed his eyes, his palms resting on Theseus'' chest as he took a deep breath. How long had it been since they were alone like this? He wondered and kissed him. His lips were sweet, his kiss filled with need.


    "When would you tell us that you returned home? We had been looking for you anywhere!" Ares shouted as he busted their door open. Allias surprised flinched and pushed his lover away, his eyes landing on the young elf.


    "Is this how having children is like?" Theseus mumbled dissatisfied.
