Siren (Boyxboy)

Chapter 14: Laliia; Goddess Of Fairies.

"Sachi!" Vinmir growls, slapping Sachi upside the head. Sachi gives his big puppy dog eyes. Slap! "Oh, hell to the no."

"I'm going over there." I announce, dodging away from the complicated couple. Smacking into Kiopi. Kiopi lets out a hearty laugh.

"You okay?" He asks, so he's not high anymore. I nod, quickly.

"Fine. Just fine. Hey, this morning when we talked, I asked about the other Gods. Could you maybe tell me the stories? Their stories?" I ask, my hands on Kiopi's chest. Those blue eyes staring intensely down at them. I flinch away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything. I just-"

"It didn't bother me." Kiopi interrupts me, his eyes flicking away from mine as a faint pink appears on his cheeks. Ajax did the same thing? Is there something I'm missing with these Elven guys?

"So will you?"

"Yes!" Kiopi shouts out, too eager. He coughs into his fist and glances around, trying to look cool. "Yeah, I'll tell you the stories."

"Ooh, ooh, I know where to go!" I exclaim, grabbing his hand and dragging him off to the Siren produce section. Plopping down onto the ground. The same place we were this morning. Kiopi sits down. I point to his coat. "Throw that over us."

"Uh...what?" I pin him down, pulling his coat off and hiding us under it. Kiopi then nods, with a hint of confusion flashing on and off in his eyes.

"Well." I snicker. Kiopi stays still, biting his bottom lip. I creep a strawberry up to my mouth taking a bite and offer. Kiopi stares at it.

"No." He says, shaking his head. Sending those short spiky pieces of his black hair about.

"Oh but I insist, dearie." I mock, Ajax. Kiopi gawks at me. Licking his lips, taking a quick bite and covering his face. I blink. What?

"I-It's small and sweet...just like you." Kiopi flirts, I coo.

"No, no. I was mocking Ajax." I quickly correct him. Kiopi lowers his hands, revealing scarlet cheeks. Gosh, he's ears are even red.

"But I meant it." Kiopi states, my mouth pops open and I nod.

"Well...thanks." I stammer, eyes flicking around. "So the stories?"

"I'll start with my favorite Laliia the goddess of fairies. Listen up..."

Born under the crescent moons, to two pure-hearted fairies, was Laliia. Laliia grew up amongst the fairies. Curiously, sneaking away from the village at night to explore. Eventually coming upon an Elven enslavement camp. A commander of the Empire caught her solid silver eyes. Enchanting Laliia with his appearance, movements and his husky voice. In love, she was. But Laliia did not know. For the only love she knew of was for her fairy brethren. Every night for a month Laliia snuck off to see her mystery commander.

Until one night, Laliia crouched low to the ground, getting closer and closer to the compound within every waking minute. Listening closely to the others when they addressed him. Desperately wanting to know his name. Laliia watched him disappear into a large building. Putting on a spell of invisibility. Laliia fluttered her big angelic white wings. Inspecting the tall building, coming up on an open window. Laliia landed on her feet. Eyes meeting his.

"Has he seen me?" Laliia questions herself in her head.

The commander walks to the window closing it. Laliia steps aside. Grazing her hand over his face. Leaving the commander baffled, brushing the tingle on his cheek away. The commander undresses. Causing young Laliia to blush. It's the first time a man undressed in front of her. The act between fairies not committed to the vows of marriage is forbidden.
