I Scored Myself A Mate - Chapter 459 - 459

Chapter 459 – 459

Their conversation was cut short. There were so many things in Theseus' mind, such horrors that began to haunt him. He had never thought that Allias wouldn't want to come back. He had thought the possibility of him losing his memory with Mark, they had talked about it. How they were going to approach him slowly, help him if ever that happened but he was impatient, he rushed and now he had scared him. Why was it hard to control love? Why were these feelings so scary that he had to lock them in, making sure that the golden king wouldn't see them yet. Theseus had spent endless nights thinking of this moment, endless days daydreaming about it but now, as it became reality he realized he had done nothing right. 

Allias' head moved, his eyes focused on the little cottage as he heard the door open and he rushed towards Naila who was escorting Mark out. He didn't even spare him a glance, he actually seemed relieved that this was all over. Theseus, taking a deep breath, trying to stop his anger since he knew nothing would come out of it, stepped back to the light, leaving the shadow of the old tree and standing next to Mark. 

"Thank you for helping us." Mark said and looked at his best friend. A smile formed on his face as he managed to see him for the first time. He  was so excited, he almost wanted to start jumping up and down. "Hi." he told him kindly. 

Alex turned his attention towards him, for a second forgetting Theseus' words. He was a young man, a human. He had flaming red hair, looking auburn underneath the sun and his eyes were brown. A warm shade with honey colored details in them. His characteristics were cute, sweet and soft and as their eyes met Alex felt his heart calm down a bit. 

"Hello." He told him, smiling back at him without realizing it. The person in front of him was not like Theseus. Looking kind, his voice had a lingering sweetness to it. He felt at ease as he looked at him, in difference to the man who stood right beside him. Tense and angry.

"Then, we will come again." Mark told Naila and the woman nodded. 

"Yes, please do. I am sure Alex would want it too." she agreed, looking at the young elf. Alex thought about it for a bit, his eyes traveling back and forth to the people that had suddenly seemed to pay him attention. 

"You can come." he said, staring right at Mark. His words made him happy, the young human nodding satisfied. 

"What about me?" Theseus asked. Allias turned his head, examining his expression for a while. 

"Do as you wish." he told him, blatantly showing him that he was not very pleased with their meeting. "Good day." he said and turned his back, getting in the small cottage and closing the door behind him. 

"He will come around." Naila said, wanting to soothe Theseus a bit. He seemed almost shocked by his reaction. "It's just that…all this must be confusing to him. I hope that you will understand and that you will not be angry at him. When Alex…I mean Allias woke up he was a mess. He searched everywhere at first, asking if someone knew an elf named Alex but no one was looking for him, he believed that nobody cared about him. Also there was the origin of how I found him. It was a really messed up situation so I think he concluded that he was trying to get away from home." she explained. 

"It's alright. We were expecting that it would be hard. I mean, he doesn't remember anything. We will do our best slowly to make him remember. It's just that some are more thickheaded than others and do their own shit without asking." Mark said, looking at Theseus with a judgemental expression. The redhead had caught on pretty fast. There was no way Alex wouldn't want Theseus, no matter who he was. He probably scared him and pressured him because he couldn't wait. 

"I…"Theseus said, hoping he could think of something to say to excuse himself but Mark didn't allow him to. He raised his hand, making a stop signal while looking politely at Naila. 

"Anyways. We will come back tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding." Mark said and both of them greeted her before the exorcist dragged the elf away. 

Once they had made a good distance away from the house, returning to the village where they had decided to stay, Mark stopped on his track, surrounded by green fields, his foot that wore a worn out pair of shoes tapping the dry soil that served as path. 

"What did you do?" he asked, his eyebrow raised and Theseus scratched the back of his head. "We said we were going to take this whole thing slow. Didn't we?" 

"I just…well…I tried. But he didn't seem the tiniest bit interested in me! I didn't like it." The general answered with a frown, making Mark scoff.

"This is not about you. This is about making Allias remember." he said, his tone scolding as they talked. 

"I know." He exhaled. "But what if he doesn't like me this time?" he asked, his eyes showing his insecurities. "I am not how I used to be. I don't think I am that fun anymore."

"What? He has literally fallen in love with you twice! Get your head in the game." Mark said, moving dramatically his hands in the air. "You make him love you! He will love you. You two are an item. So just do it." 

"I…"

"How did you do it when you first met?" the red haired man asked. 

"Those were different times." Theseus answered, avoiding his question. "I am not that young anymore." he mumbled. Mark snorted. He took a step closer, grabbing him from his shoulders, even though he was taller and forced him to meet his eyes.

"Then become young again. I do not care. Do what you did and make him remember. I want to see my boyfriend too!" he said. Theseus gulped, seeing the killing intend in Mark's eyes. 

"I will. I got this." The general said. 

He didn't seem so sure though.
