The Best Regret [BxBxB+]

ELEVEN | HE IS JUST A BOY

A/N: I don't want you to think Liam is the person Elias will only be with--because it's not. Liam and Elias have a bond that Elias hasn't made yet with the others. The time will come for the others. Don't you worry!

Also, it's Kind of a filler and a short chapter.

THIRD POV

Elias was currently getting his nails done by Liam. He was painting his nails black since that's the outfit color Elias usually wears. "See, so pretty." Elias smiled since Liam said he doesn't paint nails well on others. "It's not that good." Liam's little voice said, blushing in the process.

Elias gazed around the room they were in. Now that Elias thinks of it, he never really had a good look at Liam's bedroom since it was dark the last time he came in here. It was blue with a ton of posters. There were also picture frames on the walls—with the boys and some of his family. As Elias thought about that night, he blushed. The little one snorted, wondering why Elias was blushing so seriously.

"No reason..." Elias hummed. He watched as Liam finished his nails and brought out some spray. Liam mentioned it helps dry the nail polish faster. "Thank you, Liam. I've never had my nails painted before since my father is very homophobic, and whatever my father is, my mother is too."

The sky was setting, and the boys should be back soon from their trip out to town. Elias never went into town and was thinking about maybe going next time. Speaking of, Elias thought about what Taylor had said earlier to him.

"If I let you and Liam stay home, promise me you will not run away and watch Liam. We will be back in 3 hours." Taylor mumbled, wiping his hand on a towel after washing the dishes. Elias nodded and whispered an 'I promise.' Now, Elias didn't necessarily mean it. But he thought about Liam. He promised to watch him, that was all.

"What do you want to do now?" Elias asked, returning to reality. Liam hummed and thought about what to do next. He gasped and grabbed Elias's hand. They went out of Liam's room and into Elias's room. As Elias sat down on his bed, Liam went to his closet. "Makeover time! I would do your makeup, but I'm not good like Cole is." Liam stated. Elias smiled as he looked at the boy, and he couldn't believe someone was perfect like him, including the others.

Yeah, they had flaws, but Elias couldn't help but feel like the big hole in his heart was complete. He knows the boys aren't his yet, but it doesn't hurt to feel this way. "Here!" Liam brought out a pink crop top and baggy heart jeans. "Okay, turn around," Elias asked, and Liam stood there. "What? Nothing I've never seen before."

Elias blushed and continued to take off his clothes, putting on the clothes Liam had given him. "How do I look?" And when Elias turned around, Liam was blushing intensely. "What?" Elias chuckled. Liam shook his head, saying it was nothing. They both heard the door open and knew the others were back.

"Um... I'll see you later, yeah?" Liam asked, excitement laced in his voice. Elias nodded. When Liam left, Elias frowned. He wished he was that excited to see his lovers come home. It will eventually happen, though. If not with these boys, but perhaps other boys.

Elias couldn't find a broom anywhere. He looked in the garage and the kitchen--it was nowhere to be found. Currently, Elias is trying to clean his messy room. There were clothes scattered everywhere and trash around the room. He knew Taylor would say something, so he was trying to clean to the best of his ability. But how was he going to do that with no broom?

"Where the hell is the stupid broom?" He thought out loud. A man snickered, and the brunette jumped, startled by the man's presence. "Oh, good. Addison, do you know where the broom is? I'm looking everywhere." Elias stared at him, waiting for an answer. Addison smiled and crossed his arms. "You know, if you actually did your chores like you're supposed to, then you'd know."

Elias rolled his eyes and turned around. Was it maybe in a closet? He ignored Addison and walked past him and into a closet. "Wait! Don't open the-"

What the fuck. All Elias could see was a bunch of stuff falling on top of him.

"Door..." Addison sighed. He walked towards Elias and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the rubble. Footsteps came down the stairs; behold, Jayden and Chase were shirtless. "The fuck was that noise?" Chase wondered and looked down at Elias.

Instead of worrying, Chase started laughing. Elias deadpanned and sucked in a breath. "Why the hell are you laughing? I could've gotten seriously injured. And-" Elias froze, now realizing the two men were shirtless. Hot, hot, hot. Elias blushed to his ears and covered his face.

"Little Elisia is blushing, how cute." Jayden laughed. He walked towards the mess and picked up the things on the floor, Addison helping. "Shut up..." Elias whispered.

"Well, you found the junk closet. We should've told you not to open it. It's overflowing." Chase itched behind his neck, smiling. How could Elias be mad with a smile like that? "Yeah, you should've. It's okay, though."

"I'm glad you're starting to talk to us again, Elias. It means a lot to all of us." Jayden pointed out, and Elias smiled softly.

"Yeah... me too."
