Chapter 30

{Valentine's day special}

"What's all this?" Tristian exclaimed quite surprised at what Canton had prepared for them.

Canton got close to Tristian and hugged him from behind, leaning close to his ear.
"Do you like it?"

Tristian could hear the smile on his voice. He took a better look at the rose petals scattered around the wide spreaded sheet on the ground and the champagne bottle that was laying on top of it.

They were currently at the edge of the tallest cliff in Ink Blood with no one else to bother them.

The sun was slowly setting, colouring the sky with random shades of orange and purple.

Tristian was amazed.

He slowly turned around to face Canton who was currently down on his knee, a ring on his hand.

He was now staring wide eyed at a very nervous looking Canton.

His eyes were full of hope.

Love.

"Tristian." He said. "Will you be my forever valentine?"

ERROT

"Good morning, my king" I smirked at Canton upon his arrival in our room.

Canton, who had decided to ignore the fact that I exist once again, suddenly stopped dead on his tracks and turned to look at me with a confused expression on his face.

My smirk widened.

"Are you okay? Maybe you're going down with a human fever" he said.

I chuckled at that. "Nah, I'm just fine."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Okay. What is going on? Really."

I shrugged. "I saw Oda yesterday, we spent the day together..and..."

He raised an eyebrow at my hesitation.

"And..Adan found me after. Went on a late midnight walk to the gardens" I couldn't help a small smile that formed on my lips at the thought of my date with Adan yesterday.

He was different. He was nicer, more romantic, gentle.

I felt loved, cared for. Safe.

For the first time since I met him, I felt like he truly had feelings for me.

He wasn't talking just to talk. We had meaningful conversations which definitely brought us closer.

Canton, on the other hand, was stripped off any emotion. He was looking at me unblinking.

"You look happy. You had fun with him?"

I looked at him, weighing my options. I can't lie to him considering how bad this will sound. I get so nervous when it comes to those things, I will just expose my own self in seconds.

"Yeah, we had a lot of fun..." I paused. "do you..mind?" I started biting at my bottom lip.

He wasn't talking for a few seconds. "Do I mind? Why would I mind?" He said indifferently.

"Because.. last time you found us.."

He closed his eyes at that for a brief second. He re-opened them. "Last time you were pushing your tongue down another man's throat in my own room."

I nodded.

Silence fell in the room.

I glanced at him.
"So...you don't mind? That..that I'm in a relationship with him."
