Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 35

The next day, Pete went to his son's room, who was getting ready to go out with Rain to celebrate the official beginning of their new relationship. He felt a sense of pride, looking at his son being so excited to meet his soulmate, he was leaning on the doorframe as he smiled at the nice sight. Payu turned to the door and finally noticed his father. At first he feared that he would be annoyed or that he could even attempt to convince him to cancel his date with Rain, but as he saw him smiling, he realized that there was something different going on.

"Hello dad, I'm sorry but I'm about to leave, so unless it is something I can get rid of in a matter of minutes..." Payu said.

"I've talked with your father and we both agree that I should apologize for what happened. Do you think you could help me to meet him again? It is obvious that he cares about you, even though it didn't work very well at first, but now I managed to appreciate his efforts and I would like to tell him about it." Pete explained.

"Well... I didn't think you would have changed your mind so rapidly. I don't know if Rain is ready to accept your apology. Listen, I will try to approach this topic, but I can't guarantee anything" Payu responded and started walking down the corridor. Pete replied that he totally understood that and that he was also very glad that his son didn't seem mad about it.

Payu went to Rain's house to pick him up. Rain didn't seem as happy as Payu was, he was still thinking about Pete and his terrible attitude. He didn't really care about what Pete thought of him, but he was afraid that on the long run, Payu could prefer his parents over him. Payu quickly understood that Rain's mind was racing, and so he decided to address directly the whole problem.

"I've talked with my father this morning..."

"Which one? The one who hated your previous boyfriend or the father who hates your current one?" Rain asked frustrated. Payu couldn't help but chuckle a little, knowing that the solution was within reach.

"I'm talking about Pete. He says that he changed his mind and he would like to apologize to you. What do you think about it? I'm sure that you would get along well with each other if only you give him a second chance" Payu responded.

"Well you can tell him to fu... wait, what do you mean that he wants to apologize to me?"

"Does it sound so strange to you?" Payu asked confused and quite amused by his boyfriend's silly reaction.

"Isn't it obvious? Whenever I had a fight with other people, no matter who was right, I always ended up being forced to apologize because who would apologize to Mr. Stupid Childish Rain? Payu, listen, I know that you want to help with our argument, but I fear that this lie will just make things worse"

"Lie? I'm not a liar. I swear that he really told me that he wants to apologize to you. Vegas is the one who would use this kind of strategy to manipulate you, but surely not Pete. So, what do you want me to tell him? That you agree to meet him or not?"

"I suppose that I will look like an asshole if I refuse, am I right?"

"I couldn't agree more" Payu replied laughing.
