Are you happy Tristian(Last installment of 'Are you ___' series)

Chapter 3

When they reached Purgatory at last, with two minutes left to spare, Eden and Tristian went to get some water before finding their seats. Tristian was looking around as he was taking light sips from his bottle. Soon, his green eyes spotted Focalor near the stage, fumbling with his hands while looking around nervously. The male was about to call out the animal's name when Eden shushed him. "We're about to start now." He says. Tristian looked forward and gasped.

There was a beautiful ball of light on the stage!

"Hello everyone. I'm glad to see everyone here," it started, "this year's meeting will be a bit shorter than the ones in the pasts. But we still enjoy ourselves and welcome our new attendees to Purgatory. Guides, though our attendees should be quiet, if they have a serious question then answer it. You won't be in trouble or scolded harshly." Eden pinched the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed. Already knowing that Tristian will be yapping away at him.

The ball of light soon dissolved into the air and everything went pitch black. Tristian looked around nervously and was about to ask Eden something, but the older male just held a hand up. Silencing the younger one. Very soon, the lights came on and the choir Utopia is apart of appeared. With his guide front and center. Tristian caught Eden smiling slightly, which made Tristian smile as well. Always liking to see someone happy.

Just like his mother. He hopes that him and Angel are happy up there.

"Oi! Are you alright kid? You looked like you were spacing out. Your ass even missed the performance." Tristian quickly snapped out of his trance and was in disbelief at what came out of Eden's mouth. "No way! How is it already done?! Aw maaaaaannnnn!" Eden snorted and ruffled Tristian's hair, but not too much in order to not mess it up.

Tristian grumbled and complained about still being treated as a kid, just as an angel flew on stage. "Hello! Thank you all for being here. My name is Gabriel, and we're going to do a prayer before starting our meditation(sermon) for today. I will lead us.." Tristian noticed everyone closing their eyes and bowing their heads.

Soon, everyone started to pray, including Eden next to him. Tristian felt a little awkward, since he's not that much of a religious person. Like yeah, he prayed a few times. When Arthur forced him too every night, when he was taking test in school and especially when he fought his father. Eden noticed him not praying, resulting in Tristian hissing from getting whacked in the head. That hand, geez! Eventually, prayer was done and Gabriel flew off the stage, while another angel took his spot.

That one cleared his throat, "Alright! It's time for the mediation portion for today. Unless if you need things like going to the bathroom, yes you are able to have those urges, or need some water, then stay in your seat. Be quiet. Okay...today, we're going to hear about..." Tristian saw an opportunity but waited two minutes before tapping on Eden's shoulder. It annoyed the older man a bit, "What kid? Don't tell me you gotta go!" Tristian boded his head but gave him the most adorable puppy eyes that he could muster. Eden glared at him for a while, thinning his lips and pursing them tightly. At last, after a total of twelve minutes into the service, Eden relented and sighed deeply, getting up.

"Let's go, kid. I will lead you the way."

Tristian snickered quietly to himself, following him and sticking his tongue out playfully.

"What a brat you are!"

"Hehe.."
