“Bring it!” Both shouted as all three got ready to attack before they were stopped by the sound of soft laughter.
Everyone turned to see Noel, laughing before looking at every one of them.“I really like you all.” Noel typed out, wiping a tear from his good eye.“Noel,” Eden said, putting the vases down as he pulled the man into his embrace. “I like you too. So much.”“Get a room,” Harper said, rolling her eyes at Eden.“Should I book one for you two?” Hayden teased though neither Noel nor Eden was paying them any mind.“You are both just jealous,” Eden said, sticking his tongue out at the two.“Of course we are.” Harper and Hayden said at the same time, walking to the two and pushing Eden away.“Noel,” Hayden said, taking the man’s hand in his. “Why don’t you ditch that mSomething is definitely not right here. Noel thought, looking at the letter in his hands. I know for a fact that something isn’t right.“What are you thinking about?” Eden asked, flopping on the bed beside him. “You have been looking at that note for a while now.”Eden brought the man to his house in the dead of the night as Hadley sealed the room off, after placing cameras everywhere. She is looking to see what she can find later on.“I have.” Noel typed out, smiling apologetically at Eden. “Sorry. It seems this is bothering me a lot more than I thought it would.”“Don’t apologise.” Eden wrapped his arms around him. “I almost lost you today and that is not alright. I … I am sorry. If you weren’t able to take care of yourself-““Stop it.” Noel typed out, making Eden look him in the eyes. “Stop talking about yourself like that. Mistakes
Thud! Heavy breathing could be heard amidst the silence as two bodies pressed up against one another, the sound of a blade cutting through the silence before laughter spread throughout the empty warehouse. "Come on, you can do better than that." A man said, sitting on top of another man, laying on the ground, breathing heavily. The man on the ground frowned before raising his leg in the air and grabbing the first man around the waist with his nimble legs and threw him over, getting to his feet quickly. "That was dirty." The first man sat up laughing. "But I have always loved your … flexibility." Twirling the knife in his hands as they flickered in the dark room, every sound either of the two made was amplified by the metal walls. "Feel that?" The first man asked, pausing and listening to his echo as he pushed his white hair, trickled with specks of blood, out of his face. "It sounds like there is no one else in the world except for you
"What is this bullshit!?" A large man in a suit asked, pointing to another man on the ground whose face was all beaten up and swollen beyond recognition as he stood there sitting on the ground, a group of scary-looking people surrounded him. They were at a warehouse, the moonlight coming in from the skyline as the man sat there, half-naked and trembling as though it was not in the middle of summer. "You were supposed to give the correct package to the correct address. How did you mess something like that up?!" The large man shouted again as the man kneeling on the ground whimpering in fear. "Calm down, Agas." A man's voice boomed throughout the empty warehouse as he walked out of the shadows to them. His velvet black shirt unbuttoned all the way down to his chest and tucked neatly into a pair of black high rise cargo pants. Several silver chains hung around his neck, not to mention the piercings on his face. Six piercings on each of his ears w
"AH! That hit the spot!" A man shouted, slamming his shot glass on the table. "You seem excited to drink today." A woman in a tight black dress remarked, sitting beside the man as she poured another glass of whisky for him. "I see so many men from your … organization here as well, is it a time for celebration?" "I suppose it could be for some." The man said, playing with the liquid in the glass. "Though I can't be certain about the boss." "What happened?" She asked, looking behind him to a table with Eden, Ages, Celt and one other man were sitting and talking, not a single woman on the table. "Nothing important." He said dismissively, putting a hand on her exposed thigh. "How have you been, Doris?" "Fine." She said, batting her eyes at him and looking behind just in time to make eye contact with Eden who called her over. "Excuse me, your boss wants to see me." "But-" She didn't want for him to complete his sentence as she took
"Can't you speak?" Eden asked the man in front of him who merely rolled his eyes at him without so much as saying a word. "Perhaps I can't." The automated voice from the phone said in an almost teasing way. "But what does that have to do with you?" "You sure are pleasant to have conversations with," Eden complained as the man got to his feet, the cloth around his lower half dropping to the ground. Eden quickly threw his hands in front of his eyes, blocking them. "And do you have no sense of decency?" "What's the matter?" He asked with the help of the phone. "Can't bear seeing another naked man?" "No, in fact, I love seeing them," Eden said defensively. "But I have the common human courtesy to not look unless the person in front of me exclusively strips for me." "A gentleman, I see. How applaudable." The voice mocked as the man began to get dressed again, picking up the shirt and pants on the ground. "Would you like a medal for that?" "
Eden and the man walked out of the storage room, holding hands. The man had asked him if he could hold his hand back in the storage room and Eden was too dazed out to say no. Not that he minded walking like that, except for the single worry he had that the man would be able to hear his heartbeat drumming against his chest while he tried to process what was happening. Why would he ask to walk holding hands all of a sudden? Does he not like crowds? Well, I can't blame him for that. I know many people like that, hopefully, it isn't too bad. Eden would check back on the man every now and then, making sure he is not having some kind of panic attack as they walked. Though he seems to be doing so much better now as compared to before, making Eden sigh with relief. "Hey, we are going-" Eden tried to get the man's attention but he did not look like he could hear him, no matter how loud Eden shouted above the music. Sighing, he lightly scratche
"This is your car?" Noel's phone asked, staring at the sleek black Pininfarina Battista as Eden pulled out the car keys, a proud smile on his face. "Yes. One of my few cars." He said, shrugging. "Get in. We need to get you home, right?" "Sure." Noel typed before getting into the car cautiously and carefully so that he would not scratch it anywhere by mistake or anything like that. "Don't worry about anything." Eden laughed, folding the sleeves of his shirt up, hands on the wheel, revealing some tattoos all over his left arm. "Just enter in." "I feel like you are going to charge me if I do anything to your 'precious car'." Noel typed out, sitting on the chair, almost sinking into it. "Oh." "Nice right?" He asked, winking at him. "I like driving in comfort so the seats are … modified. Doesn't it feel like the seat is sucking you in?" "Is that suppos
Ring! Ring!Relentless poking on his side woke Eden up immediately as he stared at the white ceiling, confused.Huh? Where am I? He thought, staring at the ceiling blankly. White? My roof isn't white.The ringing around him continued, startling the man out of his confused stupor as he shot up, about to start looking for his phone when he heard a groaning come from beside him.As the lump of ash grey blanket beside him began to move, memories of what happened that night flooded Eden's mind.Wait. Wait. Wait. He thought, trying to make sense of what was happening at the moment. No way.A grumpy sigh came from the lump as the covers were pulled away, revealing the black-haired man with even messier hair, if what was even possible, as he looked around the bed and threw the phone at Eden before going back to bed.Subconsciously, Eden picked up the call, looking at the man sleeping beside him in wonder.
Something is definitely not right here. Noel thought, looking at the letter in his hands. I know for a fact that something isn’t right.“What are you thinking about?” Eden asked, flopping on the bed beside him. “You have been looking at that note for a while now.”Eden brought the man to his house in the dead of the night as Hadley sealed the room off, after placing cameras everywhere. She is looking to see what she can find later on.“I have.” Noel typed out, smiling apologetically at Eden. “Sorry. It seems this is bothering me a lot more than I thought it would.”“Don’t apologise.” Eden wrapped his arms around him. “I almost lost you today and that is not alright. I … I am sorry.

“Does it hurt a lot, Noel?” Hayden asked, patting the wound above Noel’s eyelid with alcohol-soaked cotton.Noel flinched, holding onto Eden’s shirt tighter every time the cotton touched the wound.“Of course it would.” Eden frowned, holding a packet of ice to his head, where Harper’s gun hit him. “Can’t you be gentler, Hayden?”“There is not much I can do about that,” Hayden said, not caring too much about Eden. “Noel asked not to be taken to the hospital so I need to do what I can here.”“Why do you not like the hospital, anyway, Noel?”The black-haired opened one eye, typing with his free hand, “Records.”“Oh, right. You are trying to keep your identity hidden.” Eden said, suddenly realizing. “But … how do you take care of your injuries then.”“That is one of the reasons I don’t like
The moment Eden reached Noel's house complex, he noticed that the gate was closed but it wasn't even hard to jump over it.Though what was concerning was the fact that there were already fresh footsteps on the ground.Whoever they are, they are not careful. I will collect what I can and then kill them. Slowly and painfully.Running up the stairs, Eden reached Noel's door, hearing stumbling as he quickly broke the door and looked around the place.Everything was so still and quiet, he wanted to call out to the man but knew that it would be pointless, Noel would not be able to hear him anyway.Walking as quietly as possible, he entered the room to see splatters of blood on the walls and the bed. The room didn't have much but whatever was in there was overturned.I swear, if even one drop of blood there belongs to Noel, I am going to kill everyone I see and then myself.He noticed that the bathroom door was open with a
Noel suddenly opened his eyes, looking around, a little panicked. What? Where am I? He thought, looking around himself. How many times did I wake up already? Reaching for his phone, he stared at the screen blankly for a second, checking his notifications. Still no replies from him. He thought, sighing. Will I have to ask that guy for help? I would rather not. Dropping the phone on the bed, he pulled himself off and stared at the moon peeking out of the clouds. Suddenly, without warning, a flash of blood and broken glass appeared in front of the man, making his knees lose strength as he fell to the ground, trembling. “Oh, come on. Don’t be so weak.” Noel looked up to see an old man looking at him with an annoyed look on his face. “You can do better than this. I did not raise you to be so weak.” You. Noel thought, looking at the man in front of him. Why are you even still here? “I told you that
"You didn't think what you did was wrong??" Eden asked, trying to keep his temper in check."To those two girls?" The man asked, confused. "We don't care. We do that all the time. What are two little girls if we get paid a bunch?"Eden gritted his teeth so hard as he tried to control his temper as hard as he possibly could but anger just burnt in him.Kids, they were two kids just in the middle of their junior high. Hardly even close to being adults.And that was how they died. Brutally, without any mercy."Eden, calm down." Ages said but he is also struggling to himself. "We still need to question him on some other things.""I know." Eden released a hot breath. "I know. So someone just told you to take those two out?""Yes, they gave us the money and told us to kidnap those two girls and then dump them in your territory."Why though? Eden thought, trying to clear his mind but he could not get the video or the screams and pleas
“Ok, you’re the boss,” Raphael said, backing away with a wicked grin on his face. Everyone watched silently as Eden made his way to the man trying to struggle out of his restraints.“Hello,” Eden said, grinning at the man in front of him. “You talk real cocky for a bitch. Let’s see if you fight like one. Untie him.”“Yes, boss!” Some of the men rushed forward and untied this man, running away immediately after.“You know, I have been hearing rumours of the boss of the Aberrants. Many people have said that he is a pretty boy that just slept his way to the top.”He looked Eden up and down, licking his lips. “I can see why people said that now. Don’t you think you’re too pretty to be trying to be a boss of these hooligans? Why don’t you just be my bitch? I can give you money and protection.”“Now that is a tempting offer,” Eden said, smili

"You are here at last." Ages said, looking at Eden walking into the warehouse with an almost drunk look on his face. "Why do you look so stupid?"Ages stood in the middle of the crowd of Raphael’s men covering every inch of the warehouse, waiting for the four to make it there.Eden glared at Ages before breaking into a smile and patting the man on the shoulder, "It's not nice to insult people like that. Be nice ok?""Is something wrong with the boss?" Someone whispered, staring at Eden with a creepy smile still on his face."I don't think so. He looks scary as always." Someone else whispered."Maybe it's a new scare tactic?""The boss is so smart. He looks terrifying as hell.""Yeah. I can see why he doesn't usually smile often."Eden instantly felt his smile falter as he turned to Ages, "Do I look that bad or s
