XXIV A love story, a horrible past XXIV

Ava's pov

"Well, that was pretty messy," said Alphonse as he attempted to break the silence between us.

I think it's safe to say that this evening just became the worst. Any other time it would be a pleasant moment, with just me and Alphonse holding each other, having a good time and enjoying each others company to the next morning but now after everything that happened and Seth suddenly showing up, the atmosphere between me and Al has been nothing but awkward, but it's not like I could bring myself to ignore him. Especially when he is the one who is struggling with the whole thing.

"Yea, it was."

"Are you alright? He didn’t like do anything to you, did he?"

"No actually. I mean, I was kind of expecting him to do something but all he did was talk," I said to reassure his nerves.

"Just ran his mouth. Yeah, I guess he picked that up for me," he said almost to try and lighten the mood but failed.

"Come on let’s head to my place, I’ll try my best to explain." I couldn't find the energy to say anything but I still agreed to the idea. And with that, we made our slow walk back to Alphonse’s home, hand in hand, but I certainly wasn't expecting him to start opening up along the way.

"So, I told you before that asshole showed up; sharing my past with you is fine, I trust you, I’m just not proud of who I was."

"You know it's not my nature to force you to talk Al, but why didn't you say anything about him?"

"Why didn’t I tell you about him? Well I mean first off, you never asked about my exs and I didn’t bring him up because like, is there anything less sexy than getting an earful about somebody who used to take his special someone to poundtown."

At first, I was going to disagree but he is right. Never once did I ever ask Al about his ex-lovers, he would mention some of them before but he never went into detail about them. Thinking back to those moments I couldn't help but feel silly with myself, I even started to blush in embarrassment and this didn't go unnoticed as Al give a small chuckle.

"Are you blushing?"

"No..."

"I’m teasing relax, I mean shit, I’m the one who needs to relax. anytime I hear a motorcycle in the distance I think it’s him and I never know what to expect from him. We haven’t talked in a few years, the way things were when I left, I wasn’t sure if he was showing up throw hands or what. I ran off because I thought he’d be going to my place and if there was going to be a scuffle then I didn’t want you to see that because frankly, I’m not I’m not much of a fighter and I really didn’t expect him to just waltz right into his dad's Tavern. they don't exactly have a great relationship, Seth wouldn’t give a shit though, not if it meant clowning on me by fucking with you," he said while giving a bit of an explanation but then I just suddenly stopped walking which took Alphonse by surprise.

"Hey, why are you stopping?"

"Sorry, I just noticed that your shaking."

"Shaking?"

"Yeah, I can feel it from your hand."

"Oh, my hand..."

"Al, are you okay."

"I’m ok, seriously," he said while turning his attention away from me but the frown he had just deepened. I guess he just doesn't have the energy to pretend anymore, especially after all that's happened.

"See I can’t even lie to you about something like that so you don’t gotta worry about whether or not I’m being honest."

"That may be true on other occasions but right now I want you to be honest with me. You're scared, aren't you?" I asked him as I held his hand tightly. He didn't say anything at first for a bit but then he decided to talk and let out his locked away emotions.
