Alain Was Terribly Sick

Ryan repositioned his phone so that Alain could see the redhead who was curling up at his chest.

Aiden almost chuckled when he saw the change of look on Alain's face.

"I am occupied, Alain," Ryan said. "I will ask Angela to send a doctor to your dorm."

"No!" Alain snapped, his voice dripping with anger and jealousy. "Father, I really want to see you. Please, just come alright?"

Aiden scoffed.

He wanted to get off Ryan's lap, but the vampire's arm was circled around his waist, holding him down like a sturdy iron shackle.

Alain looked like he was holding back tears.

"Father, I feel really bad. I think I am going to throw up... Sorry, let me hang up first..."

The video call ended just like that.

Ryan and Aiden exchanged looks.

"Well, are you going?" Aiden raised his eyebrows quizzically.

Ryan bumped their foreheads together.

"-We- are going."

"Hell, no," Aiden replied without skipping a beat.

Ryan peppered his lover's face with tiny kisses in an attempt to coax him.
