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

Chapter 16

Day one:

Hours went by and the boys only made it through one third of the wall. Soon, it was clear that Tristian was getting weary from climbing so much. It took a while but Cyrus finally found a stopping point that looked like a cave in a way. "Alright, let's rest here for a bit. It will do you good. Besides, once we're done, I will be the one climbing this time. You've done more than enough bud." Tristan raised an eyebrow but decided to choose not to be problematic today. The two made it and plopped against the wall of the cave.

Tristian looked at Cyrus as the other boy closed his eyes, trying to relax. Yes, this boy is annoying but he isn't that bad. It's like he is that one kid who is like a class clown who would get into trouble frequently. But at the same time, deep down, is a nice person. For the most part at least.

The demon boy quickly got bored and decided to chat with Cyrus a bit. "Soooo, since we're going to be together for a while, tell me a bit more about yourself." He saw Cyrus slowly opening up one eye to look at him. The two stared at each other for a while before the other finally decided to speak.

"Fine. So, the name is Cyrus Dove, as you already know. The only family I had before I died was my aunt, who is working at the Camelot castle. She is a maid there. I know...I can be a bit annoying. But I guess it's just because...actually, I don't know what to say about that. I guess you might wanna know how I died. Well, I was murdered with the help of this chick I liked. I believe it was four years ago or so. You already know my interests from the weeks we spend together while we were injured. And I know yours, or at least some of them. Now, tell me about you, hotshot." Cyrus slipped it in there to see Tristian's reaction.

Let's just say, he could've died if he didn't dodge in time.

Tristian glared at the boy hard, "Don't call me that you idiot!"

"Why not? It's just a name. Besides, why is your face turning red?" Cyrus asked with a smirk.

The other boy eyes widened a bit while still glaring at Cyrus, "Probably because it pissed me off shit face! C'mere...!"

Both boys started crawling around, with one trying to escape the other. After ten minutes of no success, Tristian gave up. Still tired from having to climb the ridiculous wall they're currently on.

He didn't glare at Cyrus this time, just looked at him. "Sit down, I will answer your question before all of...this. Well, it's not really a question but whatever. Anyways, my name is Tristian and as far as I know, I'm the only child of Meliodas and Zeldris. Who are demon...brothers," Tristian shivered in disgust before continuing, "for a period of time while I was a baby, Zeldris was abusive and acted downright evil. Mostly towards my mom. Eventually, my mom had the courage to escape and left me in charge of King Arthur. The current ruler of Camelot. He was a great father figure to me and a friend as well. How I died...well...I was killed while trying to defend my mom, who gained the memories he lost of his past life before being Zeldris's captive. I decided to get out of here...even if it might risk my chance of coming back once I die for good because part of me feels like I don't belong here. My mentors are awesome people but...this is just not for me right now. Also, I want closure on what happened to my fiancé. Who was murdered." Soon, there was silence.

Cyrus really didn't know what to say. Tristian just told one of the saddest life stories the other has ever heard. But he did find it cool that Arthur was his caretaker for a while and that Tristian sacrificed himself for his mom. As he looked at Tristian however, who is now just staring at the ground, he could sense something dark within him. It was all too familiar. What Tristian is currently feeling is hate. If he doesn't control it soon, it would only lead to one thing only.

Suffering.
