Chapter 14: do you mind sleeping blindfolded
Alaric’s POV
When I entered my little human’s room today, the salty smell of tears waft through my noise, my little human had cried, who had the audacity to hurt him? I’ll make sure they all pay. I cleaned his tears, my callous hands swipe his smooth cheeks, drying off the tears.
My little human stirred and then his eyes opened.
"Why did you cry?" I asked, my hands still on his cheeks, he swat it away and sat up.
"What do you want?" He asked starring at me but I doubt he could see me because it’s pitch black.
"I saw that you were crying so I came to check up on you. Who made you cry? Tell me and I’ll make them all pay." I muttered, I could feel rage burning deep inside of me, I’m going to rip the motherfucker who made him cry to pieces.
"It’s none of your business. Who are you and what do you want from me?" My little human asked harshly. His words tore me to pieces, I’ve heard harsher words but his made me feel pain, something I’ve not felt for a very long time.
"I am your well wisher Enzo, I am here to protect you, to make sure no one hurts you, to make sure you don’t cry.. but it seems like I’m failing to do my job." I left him for one day to go attend to something and this happened.
"When did I sign up for this? What do you want from me? I don’t need you, I don’t need help, I don’t need anyone." He sniffed. "It’s not my fault I’m gay, I was born this way and I’m not a coy person, I’m not a mistake, it’s not my fault. I’m not cursed." He sobbed loudly, the sound of his crying filled the room but the question is when did I accuse him of being the things he was talking about?
I climbed on his bed without thinking and hugging, I placed my chin on his head and sooth his back while he held me and cried.
"Who made you feel this way?" I asked. But he said nothing, he just cried while holding me like his life depended on it.
