BLUE HOUR: The Primes

ᶜᵒⁿᵛⁱⁿᶜᵉ

It became eerily awkward and quiet after the fight between Ysabella and Yalex. Ysabella still looks angry and Kitsch wouldn't even dare to go near her.

Yalex on the other hand decided to sit alone far from them. Blue and Ysabella are still comforting Trevor and he had stop crying atleast.

"Yalex." The demon immediately threw a glare at Samuel. But it did not scare the time keeper and the vampire a bit.

"Leave me alone!" He growled and the two just continued to sit beside him.

"Ysabella's right. But it's not too late to try and fix it." Samuel said to him followed by a sigh.

"I know you care about Trevor. You're just not good at showing it. You went too far--"

"I know! So fu**ing shut up!!! I don't need any lectures coming from you!" Yalex snapped at him. He still looked pissed. But it did not made Samuel retreat back to the others.

"Trust me! You'll need it. If you still haven't noticed, we're the only ones who came here to talk to you! Because all of them thinks you did everything wrong to him!" Rhian reprimanded. Her voice screamed with sheer authority and she bears it well.

"You can still make it up to him. He already thinks he's worthless. And I know you don't see him that way!" Samuel stated. Trying to convince the older to atleast pay attention to what they were saying.

"Are you blind, stupid or both? He's clearly angry at me and I don't care nor need his forgiveness!" Yalex insisted and Rhian immediately smacked him on his head.

"Stop acting like a fu**ing child! Ysabella's mad at you! You clearly want her forgiveness! And don't you fu**ing lie on my face!" Rhian yelled at him while Yalex just looked at her with a glare.

"What do you want me to do. She's mad angry. How am I suppose to make it up to her?" Yalex huffed as he settled his gaze ahead while fidgeting with his fingers.

"There's a thing called apology!" Samuel snickered and Yalex immediately grimaced at them.

"Ew! Me? Apologize? Give me something else!" He whined and Rhian and Samuel just gave him a deadpanned look.

"It's your choice. Unless you want your 'sweetheart phoenix' to be angry at you forever! But of course you don't want that because you are whipped for her to the bones." Rhian laughed while tapping Yalex on his shoulder.

"Just try it Yalex! Phoenix and Trevor are nice people. They will forgive you if you prove yourself that you didn't mean to do it! I believe you were just trying to help Trevor." Samuel said to him and Yalex looked at him with a small smile.

Yalex huffed and shifted his gaze to the mentioned boy. Right when Trevor turned to look at him but he quickly looked away.

"I do care about him. Maybe I just really don't know how to show it." He mumbled. Not leaving his gaze on the boy.

"Gammon will take him. And I believe he won't call your name due to few changes of what's suppose to happen. You must be ready. We cannot lose him or everything that we have made this far will all be in vain." Samuel said and looked at Yalex with a dead serious expression.

"Gammon is filled with many tricks. Trevor must call my name if he got taken. Until then, I can take care of the rest." Yalex replied.

"Then talk to him. This won't be fixed if you two keep avoiding each other. Trevor doesn't have the will to fight because of you. And you're the only one who can bring it back." Rhian instructed. Her voice sounded serious as ever.

After a few minutes of silence. "Fine." The demon sighed and stood up. Followed by the two with him.

They started walking back to the others and the demon was greeted with a bunch of glares.

Yalex walked straight to Trevor. But before he could get closer, Ysabella blocked his way while looking at him sternly. Her hand on his chest, stopping him from making a move forward.

"We'll just talk." He said in a deep voice but Ysabella did not move on her spot.

"You tried to talk to him earlier and what happened?" She asked.

Yalex let out a huff and gently took the phoenix hand.

"You and I can talk later. But time is ticking and there's only half an hour before Gammon comes." He said in a calmed manner before letting her hand go and diverted her gaze on Trevor who was obviously avoiding looking at him.

"We'll talk! But not with them around us!" He said and just like that. A blue fire casted on him and Trevor and the two disappeared from the colosseum.

Trevor looked around and found himself inside a dark and old gothic themed room.
He could vividly see a large bed with four posts. The tall windows covered with red silky curtains. He couldn't see other colors other than red.

He looked behind his back and saw Yalex sitting on a couch beside a small table. There was a glass and a bottle of what seemed like a wine on top of the table.

The demon sat comfortably on the couch. His eyes staring hard at him.

Atleast he doesn't look like his demon form. He just sat there wearing his human appearance and that was a bit comfortable to look at.

"W-where did you take me?" Trevor asked as he look away.

"We're still in the underworld. This is just a virtual representation of my old room when it's not burnt." He said bluntly.

Yalex took a sip from his glass before he stood up. And slowly stalking towards the boy who immediately stepped back at his closing proximity.

Trevor stopped walking when his waist hit the small nightstand beside the bed. He wanted to move away but the taller male caged him in between his arms.

Trevor kept his gaze down. Knowing how Yalex is deliberately staring down at him as if he's so ready to devour him.

"My mark is slowly fading..." Yalex whispered and grased his thumb on the mark on Trevor's neck. It was fading as he said.

"I know you and I never started in good terms. But I'd like you to know that I do care." He said and pulled the boy's chin to look at him. Their faces only mere centimeters apart.

"I mean it when I said it was for your own good. I just want you to be able to withstand everything. No matter how bad the fear is. Because that would be the best weapon you'll have to go against your father." He said in a hushed tone as he scans the younger male's face with his eyes.

"I called for you... You didn't come... Would it make a difference this time?" Trevor sniffled and looked away again.

"You don't have to call for me. I have a plan in mind. I don't need you getting cursed just because you needed my help." Yalex sighed and slowly placed his left hand on the younger's neck, still tracing the almost faded mark.

His other hand snaked Trevor by his waist. Gently pulling the boy closer to him.

"You know how to switch right?"
