Seven snapped his head to his friend.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"Sandro took him to his room," Marko answered.
Seven's possessiveness is kicking in. He was about to go and follow but Tristan held his wrist.
"Don't make a scene," he said.
Seven gritted his teeth, "He needs me,"
"He has a lot to take care of him and I think, a little space away from you is what he needs," Tristan said. Seven looks at him in confusion.
"We saw what happened in the garden and we think he fainted because of that," Marko said.
Clenching his fists, "Fine. But if that Lavien do something-
"He won't," a voice chirped in.
"How sure are you?" Marko asked.
"I just do," the man said shrugging before leaving. It was Kylo.
Seven gritted his teeth. He turned to his friends.
"Make sure he's fine," he said and turned to leave.
"You're leaving?" Tristan asked.
"Yes. Before I lost control and do something you'll need to clean up," he answered and leave.
Tristan and Marko glanced at each other and sighed.

After 20 minutes, Aerith starts stirring. He was startled when he opened his eyes. Sandro is staring at him.
"You scared me," he said sitting up.
Sandro smiled, "It's you who scared us,"
Aerith smiled awkwardly, "Sorry," he said.
Sandro shrugged, "It's okay. As long as you are fine now,"
Aerith looked around and saw the time. "Oh, is the event finished?" He asked.
"I think they are ending it," Sandro answered.
"Is it because of-
"Hey, don't think like that. Besides, it's already late. Grappie needs to rest," Sandro said.
*knock knock*
Someone knocked and Sandro stand up to open it.
"Grappie," Sandro greeted.
"Don Zandrik," Aerith greeted standing up.
The 67-year-old man pats his grandson's shoulder before going near Aerith.
They are now facing each other. The Don shakes his head before hugging Aerith.
"Stubborn as always," he said making Aerith pout and Sandro chuckle.
"How many times do I have to remind you to call me grappie when no one else is around?" he scolded him.
They adore Aerith. Well, he's easy to fall in love with.
"But-
"You're still shy?" Don Zandrik asked.
Aerith nodded shyly making him chuckle.
"Don't be. Anyway, I just checked if you're fine and I'm glad you are," Zandrik hugs him again.
"I'm so happy to see you again, Aerith," he whispered.
"Me too, grappie," Aerith said.
Being called that, Zandrik beamed in joy.
"Alright, I'll leave you to Sandro's care. You're staying the night," The man said leaving no room for argument.
