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.
So my fever went down but still have a massive headache with a runny nose.
Coughing kind of sucks and sneezing every 15 seconds is a pain.
But I'm recovering well.
The meds I'm taking are the basics, Paracetamol and ciprofloxacin antibiotics.
Those two are the only one I can remember, lol.
This will be the last chapter for the week.
[(5/5) Weakly chapters released.]
The fever aside I still have two exams left for my finals.
One is on the day after tomorrow and the other is on 7th Nov.
Nyx sat down on the chair in front of the dressing table.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
"You need to stop thinking about her!" She said to her reflection on the mirror.
It has been three years.
Three years, she thought it was just a passing feeling but those feelings grew to the point Nyx couldn't think for herself anymore.
When did she fell in love?
How did she fell in love?
How is that possible that she has fallen in love?
At first, Nyx tried to ignore these feelings but later these feelings grew bit by bit.
Nyx started noticing changes in herself.
Changes such as she were being more conscious of herself around a certain someone.
Secretly staring on a certain someone or taking peeks when that person was not looking at her.
Nyx started to have weird thoughts.
Mostly lewd thoughts.
At first, she discarded those thoughts thinking its something to do with puberty and all.
But that's not it. If it was then puberty plays only a teeny tiny part on it.
Nyx started to make excuses just to spend more time with that certain someone.
She likes being near that person.
Nyx doesn't know why it feels good, just by standing beside that person!
Sometimes Nyx gets jealous even if it was Aaron, Aurora or others spends time with that certain someone.
Nyx only just admired that person from afar.
She doesn't even know what to do in this situation. After all, this is the first time in both of her life combined that she fell first for someone.
What should she do?
She doesn't know.
She can't just go and ask someone else.
Cause that's so embarrassing!
Nyx thought about talking with Aurora but she didn't consult with her.
Again, she was being stupid and felt embarrassed.
The wet dreams that she experienced at night every few days.
For real, it made her sleepless at times.
Even in her past life, she lacked sexual attraction to others also had a low or absent interest and desire for sexual activity.
Even the thought of relieving herself in her past life was a nuisance to her.
If she tells the truth herself in her past life she only masturbated a few times that can be counted in one hand, in all of her years till death.
And she did it only for research purposes, nothing more.
But in this life, as Nyx.
Oh, my 'Darkness'!
If her friend 'Darkness' were here in this life then the goddess would have teased her to death.
She would have said something like 'Oh! my my fufu, little Nyx is so lewd!'
Yeah, if 'Darkness' were here she would've said something similar to that. Nyx thought remembering her dear old friend. One of the original gods of the omniverse.
Shaking her head, Nyx glared at her reflection and said.
"She has a boyfriend, so stop thinking about her!!!"
Nyx only from afar admired that certain someone.
She was hesitant to approach her.
After all, she was a dear friend of hers.
What if, after confessing their friendship collapses?
Nyx treasures her friends too much.
She doesn't dare to confess to her feelings to that certain someone.
Every time Nyx thinks about it, negative thoughts overwhelm her.
Delaying and delaying not finding the courage to confess, she took too much time thinking about it and feeling hesitant that Nyx lost the first person she ever fell in love.
That certain someone found someone else and started dating.
It broke Nyx apart.
For the first time, all of her lives combined she understood the feeling of being truly broken-hearted.
She cursed at herself for hesitating and not having the courage to confess.
The pain was something Nyx couldn't overcome.
Then one day they broke up.
Nyx thought she has a chance once more!
But again the waiting and hesitating not having the courage, history repeated once more.
The second time feeling her heart-broken was much worse than the first time.
What's worse is? That she again repeated the same mistakes she made the first time.
The idiot Nyx then repeated that process for a few more times.
Now, she doesn't feel much because she has become numb to those heart-breaking feelings.
But it still hurts a lot, even though she has become a masochist for having her heart-broken by her own mistakes many times, not only that but for the same person over and over!
Call her anything you want.
Nyx won't say anything to you, after all, she knows her faults way too well.
Nyx looked down and stared at the gift that certain someone gave Nyx on her birthday.
It's a beautiful bracelet with her initials on it.
"But I can't, the more I try to ignore and forget these feelings more it grows stronger. What should I do 'Darkness'." Nyx muttered, in deep sadness.
Nyx put on the bracelet on her left hand.
She stood up from the chair and started to pack her clothes.
Nyx's work on country Y, for now, is all finished.
Her aunt Cassandra will take care of everything.
After packing everything up, Nyx went to look for Julian.
~~~~~~
Downstairs at the great hall, Julian stood waiting for his 'Mistress'.
Julian just finished reporting to Sabastian about Aaron collapsing in the mall.
Suddenly, he felt a chill ran down his spine.
He looked up and saw his Mistress, Nyx had an angry expression on her face.
Julian was confused as he doesn't know what he did wrong.
That anger of his Mistress was directed to himself.
Julian gulped his none existing saliva and waited for his Mistress' punishment.
Whatever it is, if his Mistress is furious then he made a mistake or did something that made Nyx angry.
Julian prepared for her wrath.
Nyx standing in front of Julian observed her 'Shadow'.
"You reported the incident happened at the mall to Sabastian? Didn't Aaron told you specifically not to tell anyone, Julian?"
Now listening to Nyx, Julian figured out what he did wrong.
Julian looked down and replied to Nyx.
"Forgive me, my Grace. I thought boss Aaron's condition has been getting worse, I figured that boss Aaron didn't want any of his friends to worry about himself. That's why he told me not I report, but I felt if I don't report this something bad might happen to boss Aaron. I was concerned about his health." Nothing much needed to be said. Julian explained his actions.
Nyx sighed, hearing Julian and understood his actions.
Even though Aaron is completely fine physically aside from the curse of idleness, appearance-wise he appears to be a sick person who might collapse any given moment.
Aaron's appearance is the opposite of his healthy self.
He looks sick but isn't sick.
Nyx sighed once more.
"From now on just listen to what he says. Don't disregard a direct order from your boss. Although Aaron collapsed, he is still fine. There's nothing to worry about him. But our friends and family think otherwise, even there's nothing wrong with Aaron."
Julian nodded, listening to his Mistress' order.
For Julian, the other bosses in Nameless are just his bosses of the organisation he works for.
But Nyx's orders are absolute, for Julian, Nyx is his top priority.
"I understand, my Grace."
Nyx gave a nod, to Julian before tagging him along with herself to go for shopping.
Nyx is going back to country Y, after months. So she needs to buy some gifts for her friends.
Leaving the Prince mansion, Nyx left with Julian to go for shopping.
