'Those were different.'
'Hardly.'
'Then I will take that as consent,' the vampire said. And suddenly, without warning, he found himself being swept up into his arms, blankets and all.
Falling into his chest and feeling tiny against him, his eyes widened tiredly in surprise. 'Y-ya... Where are we—...?'
Gikwang turned around, carrying them towards the door, and it was then that he spotted the terror and protectiveness across Jongho's face... A young pup filled with defensiveness over him...
'I assumed you would prefer there not to be an audience,' said the Alpha, continuing towards the door.
Ahh... Yes......
As his head turned, his eyes caught with those glittering emerald ones of the young wolf, and he felt an intense pang of guilt... He supposed Lee was right... Perhaps it was better for him not to see...
Not to know...
But the worry in those sparkling green irises...
He tore his gaze away, unable to see any more of that heart-wrenching expression.
Far away... Far, far away, so he doesn't have to know... he silently begged.
Closing his eyes, he rested his head into Gikwang's strong, sturdy chest...
And let the devil take him away.
A/N: We love a love triangle (not—I hate them, but suddenly we are ✨twilight✨)
𝒜fter what had been a very short journey, Yeosang sleepily glanced around at the serenity of the forest surrounding them while Gikwang gently sat him on a rock looking over a stream. The vampire tucked his blanket more snugly around his shoulders before sitting down beside him, and despite never recalling a time where either of them had had too many in-depth conversations in the time they'd known each other, the silence felt somehow different...
'Seonghwa told me you were doing better, but I didn't expect to see you so... so...'
'So wrecked?'
'I was going to say well, but I assume that was a mis-judgement on my behalf...'
He turned to glance up at the Strigoi and his face full of a swirling emotion that seemed so close to concern... 'I vaguely remember a healer at some point...'
Gikwang nodded, leaning back and putting a hand down on the rock slightly behind them to lean back on. 'An Elven healer, if I recall correctly... Seonghwa used to live among the Elfolk in Mystic Spring, before he migrated north to become part of our Clan.'
