Chapter 95: *Having a child he didn’t know about*
Alan never thought about it before, but damn, he had almost forgotten that he and his twin brother really looked alike. It was really difficult to differentiate them, and just to think that Erik could confuse them annoyed him a lot.
But Erik was looking at him with his eyes full of expectation, and he was really too cute like that, so he finally chose to tell him, "My older brother’s name is Kelan and my twin brother is Nolan. We really look alike, so be careful if one day we meet him."
Erik looked at him surprised; was he really worried? Well, if that was the case, he said to him very confidently, "Do you really think I won’t be able to differentiate the both of you? My love, you can test me anytime; I will never fail to recognize you."
Alan kissed him tenderly and said, "I hope so, sweetheart; otherwise, it will break my heart."
Erik chuckled; he knew that Alan was teasing him, but he still needed to talk with him about something serious, "I think we should tell Kevin and Axel about this legend and this Absolute Warrior; they need to know."
Alan agreed with him, "We will tell them when they have recovered... And as for your punishment, it will have to wait a little bit, sweetheart; I’m completely exhausted."
Erik said to him tenderly, "Let’s sleep then, my love. I will go take a look at them later to see how they’re doing."
Alan fell asleep almost instantly; he knew Erik was a light sleeper and had a habit of waking up early, unlike him. Even though 7:30 am could not be considered to be up late, he was still really grateful that he had offered to go and watch over their friends.
Erik was also very tired, but he waited until Alan’s breathing became regular to see if everything was going well for Axel and Kevin. He wouldn’t be able to fall asleep if he didn’t check on them first. He slowly freed himself from Alan’s arms and got out of bed without waking him up.
When he arrived in front of Axel and Kevin’s door, which they hadn’t closed on purpose to be able to watch over them, he frowned as he saw that Kevin had a slight layer of perspiration on his forehead. He then approached him to check if he had caught a fever, and he was relieved to see that at least Axel seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
He reached out his hand to check Kevin’s temperature, and had he anticipated Kevin’s reaction, he would have refrained from touching his forehead and kept his distance from him.
Kevin grabbed his wrist in his sleep, and with a quick movement, he broke it easily. That happened so suddenly that he didn’t have time to react at all.
He screamed in pain and managed to free himself from Kevin’s grasp, but he used so much strength to do so that he fell on the floor and hurriedly moved away from the bed. Kevin didn’t seem to have woken up, and Alan came in almost instantly, looking at him worriedly.
Erik was still lying on the floor, too shocked to get up, and he was still holding his wrist, which was obviously not at the right angle. Alan immediately noticed it, and he swore, asking him what had happened.
Erik just told him, "You remember Kevin told us to stay away from him when he was unconscious."
He knew that Kevin had warned them, but at that time, he hadn’t thought about it at all. He explained to Alan, "He was sweating, and I wanted to check if he didn’t have a fever. As soon as I approached my hand to check his temperature, he grabbed it and broke it all at once without even waking up. Damn it! It was super creepy! My love, please don’t come near him, okay? Even if he has a fever, I guess that won’t kill him, right?"
Alan took Erik in his arms, shaking his head helplessly, and he carried him into the kitchen. Once there, he took out of his magic bag a high-grade Bone Repair potion and handed it to Erik, who drank it immediately without even asking what it was. Kevin had warned them especially not to approach him if he was unconscious. Why did Erik have to do something stupid like that, especially after what they had witnessed this afternoon?
His wrist returned to its usual appearance, but this potion hurt like hell, and Alan, at his pitiful look, couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
When Alan saw that Erik was about to get upset and was leaving the kitchen, he grabbed him by the waist and hugged him from behind. He said: "I’m sorry, sweetheart, but you were so cute. I wasn’t mocking you, okay? Don’t be mad... But next time, don’t forget that Kevin wouldn’t have warned us about him if it hadn’t been necessary... Do you want to die? You saw what he was capable of, so what went through your mind? I really would like to know."
Alan quickly added to reassure him about ’the fever’, "By the way, it wasn’t a fever but a nightmare; the perspiration you saw on his forehead was due to a nightmare."
A nightmare, Erik thought. He had forgotten that detail too, so he honestly told him, "I had completely forgotten that he warned us about it... And how come he doesn’t do anything to Axel then?"
Alan had also asked himself this question, and the only thing he could think of was not something rational, but he said it all the same to Erik, "Maybe he can recognize him unconsciously; it could be the warmth of his body or a smell, something like that."
Erik then sighed and said sheepishly, "I’m sorry, my love; I really forgot about his warning, and I just wanted to check if they were okay... Because of that, I woke you up, but I really couldn’t fall asleep before checking on them."
Alan tightened his embrace and began to caress Erik’s stomach with a gentle and caring motion, "They are fine, sweetheart; they just need to rest, like us. So are you ready to go to bed?"
Alan added in a playful tone, "And if this time you are not sleepy, I can help you fall asleep..."
Erik could feel Alan’s smile when he said that, but he knew him too well and understood that right now, he didn’t want to have sex tonight; his man just wanted a tender moment with him, and it was also a side of him that he cherished a lot.
......
Meanwhile, in another plane of existence where only gods could live, the God of Destruction had been awakened by a strange feeling.
He had felt his bloodline awaken in a human body; could it be that he had a child he didn’t know about? He followed the specific scent of his bloodline that was now part of this human, and he materialized in a room where he could see two men sharing the same bed.
If he wasn’t sure that this human was his son, now he couldn’t deny it anymore. Their faces were too similar to be only a coincidence, and from what he could see, they also had the same muscular body... It was so unexpected and such a wonderful surprise.
Now that he was sure that this human was his son, he focused on the world he was in to see if it was safe for him to live there, and he paled when he realized that he was in the world that Cassandra and Lilith were fighting for.
Although at first, they had really fought to determine which of the two of them would get this world, now it had become a game, and all the gods were waiting impatiently for the final battle, as if it were somehow the best entertainment for them. If he had to describe this world, he would say it was like a giant chessboard where, when one of them was about to checkmate, the other would sweep through all the pieces and the game would start again.
From what he had heard from the other gods, they were already in their 4th game, and this time they mutually agreed to bring in a soul from another world to make the final battle more interesting.
He then remembered that indeed, twenty-five years ago, Cassandra, who owed him a favor, had hidden him in this world when he was injured and hunted down by another god that he had pissed off.
He had been there for a little over six months when Cassandra had come to tell him that this god had left their plane of existence to create a new world and that he could return to live with them without any problem. His memories were coming back to him, and he had indeed had a woman who had taken care of him during this time.
