[BL] The knight commander's son

Chapter 12

Alden continued packing and Tyon felt his head spin. He had no idea what to do and started shaking. He fell to his knees in a thud. Alden turned around and froze when he saw Tyon crying. He started double guessing if he was seeing it right. Tyon never cried. If he did then that meant something was really wrong. Maybe he ate some kind of poison before he came to the library. Or he had a heart attack.

"Are you okay?"

Tyon grabbed Alden's hand desperately clinging to him which made Alden lose his balance and fall into Tyon's arms. He felt his waist be surrounded by strong arms and he was being pulled against Tyon's chest not being able to move a single inch. He looked up irritated:

"What are you doing again? Don't pull me like that. If you are sick just communicate."

Alden's face was really close and Tyon felt his heart go crazy but Alden was furious and he saw flammes in his eyes. He knew that if he acted on his urges, he would regret it immediately.

"You can do whatever you want. You can buy anything, do anything, say anything. You can go anywhere you want. Your wish is my command. I'll never stop you again, I promise. I made a big mistake and I can't stop thinking about it. I am sorry. I won't ask any questions and won't force you to tell me anything. I'll do anything you ask... Please... Could you give me one last chance?"

Alden was shaken by Tyon's tears. He never saw the knight commander so vulnerable. He was the cardinal of Death for God's sake! What was he doing kneeling and crying like a child? Alden was so lost he forgot to be mad for a second:

"Okay I get it now let go of me."

He still didn't let go of the poisoning hypothesis and had to check. Tyon immediately let go and Alden stood up a bit dizzy. Tyon missed his warmth and continued to stare at him, not getting up from the ground. Alden knew he would stay like that for hours if he didn't say something. He signed a contract after all and he couldn't leave as he wished. He had about 9 months left and had to stay for that long.

"If you ever do anything like that again...

-I won't.

-I sure hope so."

Alden checked Tyon's forehead for a fever but he didn't feel anything. Tyon's cheeks did get really red when he touched him and that worried Alden:

"What did you eat before coming?

-Nothing.

-Are you sure?

-Yes."

He grabbed his face with both his hands and stared at him:

"Then why are you so red?"

Tyon couldn't respond.

"Let's call for a doctor."

He shook his head.

"Why not? You definitely need one."

Tyon grabbed Alden's hands and softly removed them from his face.

"I am fine.

-You don't seem fine. You are crying for nothing and you are red. You must have eaten something."

Tyon was way too uncomfortable to say anything and got up to go to the doctor. Alden felt a bit awkward that he reacted like this and decided to think about something else and went immediately to Amauri to take him to the Zoo. Amauri was ecstatic and asked if his new friends could come with them. He was thinking of Janyn, Earl and the knights who had been playing with him for the last few days. Alden accepted and Amauri ran to tell them the news. Unfortunately Janyn couldn't leave the mansion and the knights had work too but after a few minutes of pleading with their colleagues, they were freed.
