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

Chapter 52

Type's phone started ringing, he was incredibly surprised when he saw the photo of his dear son appear on the screen. The sense of joy was quickly surpassed by the realization of what could have caused that phone call, there was only one possible reason and he knew that Tharn had to be behind it. He took a deep breath, he knew that it could only work if the phone call was rapid, otherwise he wouldn't have resisted.

"Rain, it's been a long time" Type said with the most neutral tone he managed to produce. It took Rain more than normal to actually responded, and every moment wasted like that could only damage Type's armor further.

"Is it true? Is it true that you don't despise me? That you don't really think that I'm stupid?" Rain asked as his eyes were already filling with tears. Tharn's fingers moved nervously as he could only hope that his husband wasn't so cruel to keep up the act no matter the consequences.

"I've never despised you, how could I do such thing? I am your father and I love and care about you. However, that doesn't mean that I can't see the truth, that your intellect leaves a lot to be desired" Type responded, he could already feel his tone weakening, but he hoped that the phone call could end before it became too evident.

"But... but dad said..."

"I don't care about what Tharn said. I love him very much, however this attempt of his has proved to be stupid and ... and unnecessarily... painful" Type responded.

"Dad... how can you say that..."

"If you have nothing m... more to say..." Type continued, his eyes were closed as tears were falling down his cheeks and his attempts to hide his sobbing were getting more and more difficult every passing second. Tharn couldn't handle it anymore, he grabbed Rain's phone and said:

"Type, I've asked Rain to go..." it was a lie, he knew that Type would have never confessed directly to his son, but he knew that if he could make him believe that he could talk him freely, he could trick him into saying the truth. Tharn gestured Rain to sit down and stay silent as he put Type on speaker.

"You took the phone?" Type asked as he couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

"Yes, he was too shocked and he left the phone on the counter" Tharn replied.

"Why did you do that? You knew that... that I had to answer like that... so why did... did you allow him to call me? Huh?! Because you wanted to make me suffer? Am I not suffering enough just by staying away from him? Or because he thinks that I hate him!? Why did you do that... why?" Type repeated, stopping a few times to cry as he couldn't handle the fact that the first time he talked to his son after a whole year, was just to hurt him again.

"I just thought..." Tharn added, trying to give Type a reason to talk and expose himself even more.

"No... you didn't thought, that's the problem..." then Type stopped for a while to calm himself down before continuing: "Did he say anything about Venice? Is... is he happy with him?" this question simply confirmed the story about the person constantly checking Rain, since there was no way he could know about it.

"Yes... I met him too... they like each other a lot"

"That's good to know... at least he has someone by his side... can you... hug him for me?" Type concluded.

"Sure, my love" 

A.N. Sorry if it turned out too cheesy
