I think I'm attracted to the girl.

Aaron rang the bell to Sabastian's apartment.

He had planned to go and sleep at the clubhouse, but because of him saving Yong-Hyeon from the bullies and spending so much time in Yong-Hyeon's home?

Aaron decided to not go to the clubhouse but stay at Sabastian's place.

The door to the apartment opened and Sabastian stood topless in front of Aaron.

He was sweating and had a towel over his shoulder.

Seeing Sabastian like that Aaron figured that Sabastian might have been working out.

"Yo, Sup!" Aaron greeted Sabastian.

Sabastian was really surprised to see Aaron at his apartment.

"Yo! So how come you're here? Weren't you suppose to be in Country Y?" Sabastian asked letting Aaron get inside the apartment.

After Sabastian closed and locked the door, Aaron followed Sabastian to the living room.

Aaron can see there's a mat on the middle of the living room.

Seeing the mat Aaron figured that Sabastian was probably doing his workout session inside the apartment instead of the balcony like usual.

"Not showing your body to the masses, huh?" Aaron said in a tone full of sarcasm.

Sabastian rolled his eyes hearing Aaron.

"They were creeping me out, the apartment at the front of the balcony turned their apartment into some kind of club. All the girls and women ranging from 15-70s gathers inside the apartment whenever I go to the balcony for my workout session. It's creepy so I decided to work out inside." Sabastian replied feeling vexed.

He can understand attracting young girls and women but those married women and grandmas?

He is handsome there's no denying on that but that went a bit overboard, right?

Aaron laughed hearing Sabastian.

Aaron saw a cooler box nearby. Walking towards it and opening the cooler box, Aaron grabbed a few couples of cans of energy drinks.

He tossed a couple to Sabastian and have two for himself to drink.

After closing the box, Aaron plopped down on the sofa feeling tired.

"Nyx can handle the rest, I already have finished everything there is to help out aunt Cassandra and Nyx. So I came back. Classes will start soon and we will be transferred to the elite school with everyone, you know. Did you forget? I wanted to take some time spending here before we all go to Starfall city." Said Aaron leaning his head on the sofa.

*pop* *szzzzz*

Popping up a can, Aaron took a sip.

"Ahh! Just what I needed." Commented, Aaron in relish.

"..." Sabastian thought for a second before he asked Aaron.

"You didn't visit Aunt May?"

"Nope, came straight here after I finished my meeting."

"... Did you talk to her?" Sabastian observing his best friend's face, asked.

Sabastian didn't mean Aunt May but someone else.

"I haven't." Aaron replied understanding who Sabastian meant.

Silence descended on the living room.

Sabastian sighed watching this stubborn friend of his.

"Aaron, you can't keep avoiding her. Sooner or later you have to talk with her. For Darkness' sake Aaron, you two are stubborn AF! Both of your ego and stubbornness doesn't have any bounds."

"Aaron can't you see how much you two are hurting each other with this nonsense! With -

*It's hard to breathe but that's alright. Hush shhhhhh*

Suddenly Sabastian's phone rang, shaking his head he went to pick the call up.

A couple of minutes later,

"You f*cking Idiooooiooot!!!" Sabastian pointing at Aaron barked.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! Why didn't you call for anyone and why the f*ck did you collapsed in the middle of a mall!"

Sabastian yelled in fury at Aaron.

Just now, Julian called Sabastian and let him know about the incident Aaron caused in Country Y.

'That idiot, I told him to keep his mouth shut but looks like that guy snitched on me. Damn, he is only loyal to Nyx! I should have given him orders as Nyx.' Aaron said in his mind.

Yesterday, Aaron collapsed in a mall when he was shopping for some clothes for himself.

He handled it pretty well after, but Julian might have thought it's something serious and reported to Sabastian.

"Oh, what timing! I was just about to tell you about it. You see I'm feeling tired, after freshen up I would have told you about that but Julian beat me to it."

"I'm fine, yes, completely okay! I collapsed because the battery to the shocker I had died. No biggie, I'm serious believe me." Aaron said motioning his hands around.

It wasn't a big deal, to be honest. He collapsed due to the battery of the nerve shocker in his back ran out.

He had planned to change the battery with an Aether core soon, then the energy would never run out.

Still, that is just a temporary solution to his 'Idleness' problem.

Sabastian studied Aaron's face.

He was still a bit sceptical of what Aaron just told him but he accepted Aaron's explanation.

"Tell us, if anything happens to you. You know, ever since this drama with Aurora and you started. You guys don't tell anything about yourselves to us anymore."

"Bro, for real do something and make up both of you, please!!!"

"You guys are inseparable but this drama of not talking to each other but argue and fight over something nonsense whenever you two meet up is complete BS! Look, Aaron, you guys are each other's strength and also each other's biggest weakness. Many things are going on in the Blood family and if you two are like this then-"

Sabastian was interrupted by a moody Aaron.

Aaron heard these kinds of lecture many times in the past few months, its always the same.

Aaron and Aurora both know that their friends are right.

But both of them are extremely stubborn.

A year ago, Aiden and Tessiana brought up the talk about succession to the two of them.

Both siblings knew how much of pain in the ass this succession to the 'Blood Throne' is.

To Aaron, he believes that Aurora should be the person to succeed and sit on the 'Blood Throne'. But The Blood family being patriarchal, Aurora cannot sit on the throne.

There is a way she can sit but that is harsh and a cruel way to do it.

That way is, to overthrow the Blood family rules and completely reform the Blood family.

A complete change will follow a massacre, blood will be spilt and souls will be reaped.

The only way to make a major change in the Blood family is by force.

People in the Blood family are all s*itheads, so it's okay to weed out the s*itheads.

But Aiden wants Aaron to succeed him.

Aaron doesn't want the 'Blood Throne' because it's not his right. To Aaron, the 'Blood Throne' was always Aurora's and not his, he doesn't even want that thing.

Tessiana's stance is neutral, his mother had it easy.

But sometime later, Aurora changed her mind and wanted Aaron to accept their father's proposal.

At that time, Aaron didn't think much but was angry and fought with Aurora and Aiden.

That fight escalated and Aaron left Aunt May's residence.

He has been sleeping in Sabastian's house or the clubhouse, sometimes he sleeps at Nameless' base.

Aaron is stubborn and so is Aurora, they didn't talk for a few weeks.

Later, they started arguing every time they met.

For the last six months, it's always arguing and arguing.

Nothing else.

Aaron knows, it's pointless after all this time but they don't know how to make up.

Both of them aren't willing to talk to each other.

For the first time in Aaron's life, he found out how much influence Aurora has on him.

They were practically inseparable, so everything revolved around the two of them.

Together.

He wanted to get used to a life without Aurora.

After all, Aurora will not always be there for him.

But it's hard, it's hard for Aaron.

And Aaron knows that Aurora is also going through the same.

Sometimes, he can't sleep at night. Sometimes he gets scared.

Sometimes, Aaron feels his world has lost its meaning and all the colours have been lost.

A colourless and dull world.

The only time Aaron feels at peace is when he feels the connection with Aurora on his soul.

"Okay, okay! I know, have heard about it a lot of times. Don't have to repeat it once more, now that we will soon be transferred to the Elite school of Carson's I will make up with Aurora, okay!"

Aaron said rolling his eyes.

After Gulping a mouthful of energy drink from the can he was holding.

Aaron looked at Sabastian and with a very serious face, he asked.

"Hey, do you know anything about the girl upstairs?"

"Which girl?" Sabastian asked in confusion, there are lots of girls in the apartment building so which one Aaron was talking about he can't tell.

"The single mom, with a 7-year-old kid."

"Hmm, her? Not really, all I know is about her being a mom."

"I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone! I think I'm attracted to that girl." Aaron said looking at Sabastian's eyes, seriously.

"..." Sabastian.

"Boi! What the f*ck!!!"

Sabastian was so shocked that he tripped and fell to the ground.
