Chapter 15: Consequence (Part One)
Gin stood there for half a : ”Shouldn't we follow him and watch?”
”You're so evil,” said Feisha in disdain
”Are you sure that's the word you want to use to describe a noble vampire?”
”I thought you would've been honoured”
There was an aard pause
”What in the world did I do to make you think that I'd like to be called evil?” asked Gin, shocked
The reply was sincere ”You don't even need to do anything for me to think that”
Gin parted his lips, two razor-sharp canines glistening in the light
”I've beento ask you this for a while now, but doesn't it feel weird to keep on extending and retracting your teeth?”
Gin's gaze held warning ”No, it just tickles a bit Makes me want to bite someone, in fact”
”I think you should get a shot of rabies vaccine,” Feisha quipped, turning on his heels and bolting towards the kitchen
———————————-
It wasn't quitehall was unusually quiet and deserted Feisha crouched by the entrance andtowards him In response, Gin crept noiselessly to the other side of the door
Inside, Dea was standing next to the stove
”Good job!” Gin fist pumped out of the blue
Feisha was uni yet”
”I' his spirits”
”If you don't shut up, he's going to notice and then you'll become one”
As if on cue, Dea's ear twitched The two eavesdroppers ceased their argument immediately and tensed up at the same time
Antonio raised his head ”What are you looking at?”
Dea's eyes re”
”I can s the air”
Feisha broke into cold sweat
”Ignore hihtly Antonio continued to cook his steak
In Feisha'sfruit, then Antonio spends every waking hour cooking food He'd always been able to find leftovers whenever he rued around the shelves so far
Dea watched Antonio work, once again falling silent The steak was skilfully slipped onto a plate and pushed towards Dea ”Want some?”
”I don't eat meat”
”One of these days you're going to have to change your diet It's destroying one of life's greatest pleasures”
”I'ht faerie, not a dark faerie”
Antonio just shrugged in response and grabbed some cutlery off the rack While he ate, Dea's expression showed a trace of hesitation
The steak was finished in record time
”What did you co his plate down ”You used to leave as soon as I took my first bite”
Dea looked at the ground His pride as a faerie made it very hard for him to spit out his next words
Feisha's knuckles were turning white
Dea let out a breath ”No, nothing I just wanted to ask if you needed any fruits I'll be taking my leave now”
”Hold on”
Antonio's mouth and Feisha's mind called out at the same time
”You haven't asked h?”
”What?”
”You said that you came to ask if I needed any fruits But you haven't asked me yet”
”Because I don't want to ask you any to leave
Suddenly, Gin's body was violently shoved into the doorway Before he could flip out, the perpetrator clung onto his legs tightly, wailing, ”You can't do this, you can't treat Hughes like this!”
…What did he treat Hughes like? Gin stared at Feisha's face full of grief and anger, completely baffled
”How could you do this to hientle and considerate towards you, especially with your sharp canines Do you think that's an easy thing?” Feisha said, hands exaggeratedly gesturing ”He's risking the possibility of contracting tetanus every single time you kiss, you know?”
…Invisible folk can contract tetanus? Gin was even more baffled
”And!” said Feisha, scra to Dea, ”This is true love! You've known the, how could you have the heart to tear them apart? And you call yourself their friend!?”
…Even thefriends with a as laughable, Gin thought in disdain
”Shouldn't you be congratulating them in this time of happiness?” asked Feisha with his back to Dea, furiously winking at Gin
Gin's brain may not form the correct connections on most days, but today was clearly not one of those He slowly picked hi at the cautious Dea and confused Antonio ”Are you really together?”
The roohed
”…Yes,” said Dea
Antonio's face was full of question marks
Gin abruptly turned around, hand bracing hi his head: ”I can't believe this, I just can't believe this… How do you want me to believe such a harsh reality?”
”How do you want to believe it?” asked Dea
”That'll be up to you,” Gin said, ihes believe as well, and then theirwould be solved, and then he'll be able to eain…
His thoughts were no longer on the current situation
Dea frowned in disgust at his lecherous expression ”What do you mean?”
”Gin, it's time to wake up to the truth,” Feisha quickly cut in ”Noto like you Just move on, man What Dea and Antonio have between the them…”
”…” Everything's already been said, what's he meant to folloith?
Thankfully, Feisha was a quick thinker ”You should go Leave Stop being third wheeling them… Just leave, Gin”
Gin played along ”Okay, fine, I'll leave i up, you hear me? I'll be back!”
Watching Gin's retreating figure, Feisha let out a relieved sigh
”What the hell are you guys trying to pull?” Antonio's perplexed voice came from behind them
”I'll explain,” sighed Dea
”You do that- I'll be outside getting some fresh air I need to cool off a bit after what just happened”
Feisha loosened his tie, walking outside only to find Gin dejectedly standing there
