*Back to Present*
(Elektra's POV)
"I don't know Sebastian. He's been acting weird. I like Neo, but I never really seen him that way with me. Yes the night when we slept together on the mission was amazing, but I swear it was mostly my dragon's fault. Also if we do end up together, what makes you think that we won't break up and I lose my best friend. It would just be too hard." I said as I was sat down on Sebastian's bed.
Sebastian, who was sitting at his desk, rolled his eyes. "Yeah that could happen, but what if it didn't? What if something great comes out of it? What if you finally make yourself truly and really happy? I've seen the way you guys are with each other and it's amazing. You guys are like the yin and yang. I can see you guys are meant to be together. You just got to let it happen."
I covered my eyes and groaned. 'Why meeee? Ugh. It's true I do love Neo, but I don't know.' I thought to myself. I laid back his bed and just kept hitting my head softly until it started to hurt. Well, that was until I felt a smack on my thigh.
I shot up from the bed with a yelp escaping my lips. I glared at Sebastian and he just gave me and eye roll and said, "Don't give me that look. This is my bed and I would very much like it back. Plus, I think it's time for you to go. It's late and someone is supposed to be stopping by for something. So time to go."
I gave him a suspicious look. 'Who would come at this hour for something?' I thought to myself, but I just shook it off. I got up from the bed and gave him a goodbye hug and walked to the door.
"Hey." I heard behind me and I turned back to Sebastian and continued to speak, "Think about what I said. Don't let all those negative thoughts take over your decision." I gave him a small nod and closed the door behind. I let a small and said softly, "If only it was that easy."

(Neo's POV)
I was sitting in a chair in the middle of the living room waiting with a glass of scotch in his hands. Elektra walks in through door and gets startled by seeing me sitting all by himself in the living room.
"What are you doing up by yourself? It's late. Where is everybody?" She asked. I only downed the rest of my drink and pour another from the bottle next to me on the table and just replied one word "out". "Um.. Okay?" She responds confused about the situation and begins to walk towards her room when I decid to ask something that makes her stop her in place. "I don't get it. What do you see in him anyway?"
She turns to me now seeing me just staring back at her waiting for her response. "What?" She asks in confusion and I answer back, "Sebastian. What do you see in that guy that's better than me? Why don't you just give us a chance? Like come on." By this time I am up from my chair and was standing right in front of her.
She is still confused about what is going on, but answers "Neo what are you talking about?" "You and me Elektra. Why not give us a shot? Instead of with him." I reply with a hint of desperation in my voice.
Elektra then realizes what I'm saying, now thinking about something, she sighs and says the same answer she gave Sebastian "Neo it would be too hard."
I took Elektra's hands and replied immediately, "No, no, no. Why? Because it might get weird for everybody else? No, no, no. Who cares about them? This is about you and me. Not them. Us. Look... *takes a deep breath* I have been in love with you since that first day in pre k. The day I saved you from that bully. The day I first layed eyes on you~"
"Neo you are like my best friend. I-If we broke up and I lose you~" Elektra says, interrupting me. "Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. What makes you think we would break up? Look you and I both know that we are perfect for each other. Right? So the only question is...Will you be mine?"
I can tell that the wheels are running through her head at full speed due to so many thoughts going through as I can feel her hands slightly shaking. She then answers "I don't know." And with that my face falls, but she continues to speak. "It's just that I never looked at you that way before, we've always been best friend and I just don't know what to think."
I then lift up my face after hearing her and say, "well start thinking please" And I hold her face with both hands and pull her into a soft but very desperate kiss. She recovers from the shock seconds later and melt into the kiss and begin to kiss back.
After a minute, we pull away from each other with their foreheads pressed against one another, nearly gasping for air. I can practically imagine what she is thinking because wow that was amazing. I have never felt like that ever in my entire life. Her mind looks like it starts to function more productively as she thinks it over.
Once she finally caught her breath, she answers my question in a volume that could be compared to a whisper, "okay". I pull back and look at her in disbelief. I could not believe the answer she had just given me so I tell her to say it again.
Elektra giggles a little and repeats herself, "Okay. Let's do it." My face bursts into a big grin and I pull her into another kiss. I could not stop smiling throughout it.
We pull away and I breathe out a "thank you." And hug her tightly. She just answers with another giggle. Then she all of sudden starts to laugh into my chest all of sudden. I am so confused on why she is laughing.
I pull away still having my hands on her waist and ask "What so funny?" She answers my question in between her giggles, "I can't.. Believe.. You got.. Jealous.. Over a.. Gay guy." My face goes from confused to shock real quick.
"What?! He's gay?!" She nods her head as she finishes laughing with a big smile on her face. I go from shock to relief and breathe out "oh thank god." And pulls her in for another kiss that soon starts to get heated.

*Meanwhile back at Aleksander's hotel*
(Alexa's POV)
I could not hide the grin that's on my face right now. After watching them finally get together, I close my laptop just in time for Aleksander to walk out of the bathroom all dressed for bed. Water dripping off his hair from just getting out of the shower.
He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Why are you all smilely all of sudden?" he asks. I giggle and answer back, "Neo and Elektra are finally together after soooo long. I thought it would take them forever." He just chuckles and slides into bed. "Well that's great then. Another couple to add into the world beside you and me." he says as he pulls me towards him. I just roll my eyes while shaking my head and laying it down on his chest.
After sometime in both of us in a comfortable silence, I decide to break it and ask the one question that has been stuck in my head. "Alek" I say quietly and he just hums in response so I continue, "Why are you so sure that we will stay together?"
He turns his head towards me and holds onto one of my hands. "Well, one reason I know why we will stay together is because of a certain mark behind your ear." I look at him with a confused look. He chuckles and continues on, "You have a mark behind you that exactly resembles one that I have behind my ear and according to that and our... well connection we have, we are destined to be mates."
I look at him in shock and say "What?! How come I didn't know that?" He laughs at my reaction and stroke the top of my head so I could calm down. "I don't know how you didn't know. Maybe it's because you stubborn as a mule." I hit his chest for saying that making him chuckle some more before he continued, "But it doesn't matter because I noticed and that's one reason you will be stuck with me forever."
I scoffed at him and asked "There's more than one reason?" He smiled down at me as I looked back at him and he answers, "Of course there are more reasons, but another one is because I want to make you stay with me. You made me feel something that I never thought I would feel so I'm making sure that I do everything in my power to keep you happy and by my side. Whatever it takes."
I rolled my eyes, something I have been doing a lot, but smiled at his answer. "That's way more cheesy than I would have thought. Yuck" I replied looking away from him. He just chuckled like always when I try to act serious. "Sleep Dorogoy (Darling). It's late. We will talk in the morning. Goodnight moya lyubov (My Love)." I cuddled up into his chest more and replied while closing my eyes, "Goodnight"
