꧁☬ «Oh come on! Play with us!» Zeke sighted. «I don't even know the rules..And I won't spend money on fucking poker..» Theodore laughed. «You won't need to spend money, Zekie pookie» Eymen said, winking at him. «Good to know Eymie pookie.» He said back, tho it was clear that he was annoyed.☬꧂

꧁☬ They've been playing for over two hours. Theodore then stood up and left. He came back some minutes. The door slowly opened and Theodore walked back inside. A familiar blonde girl sitting down next to him. Theodore and Zeke basically just started at each other, while Eymen was talking about something. »Come on Zeke. We all know you're talking to Theo right now. Just tell what's up.« Zeke looked up. »Fuck off, this is private..«He didn't take a look at any of them, he just looked down, while his arms were placed on his knees. «Imma go out for a cigarette..» Zeke mumbled and stood up. «But it's your turn now!» Ezrem said, standing up aswell. «Then let someone else play.» He hissed back and walked out of Theodore's bedroom. He walked into the common room. He took out his phone and checked his notifications. He then teleported away, to a nearby balcony. The castle had quite many of them. He sat down and lighted a cigarette. »Oh, Father, please, please forgive all my sins..« He mumbled. ☬꧂

꧁☬ After a while, a black shadow appeared next to him. Eymen sat down next to him. «I saw the way you looked at her.» Eymen didn't look at Zeke. «You don't want to admit it but you damn well like her.» Zeke laid his head back. «I don't. I hate her. She's annoying, ugly, doesn't know when to stop and always has to be better.» Eymen lighted a cigarette. «Fuck Zeke! You already liked her in fifth grade! You always act like you don't care about the people around you! Even your brother would be smarter than you when it comes to love!» Eymen shouted. «Leave him out of this.» Zeke snapped back. «No! I won't! I won't until you gave in! Get to fucking reality! You like her! Just looking at what you've done to Leon tells everything!» Zeke groaned. «I did. Not because of her tho.» Eymen rolled his eyes, taking another long drag of his cigarette. «Then why?! Are you gay?!» Zeke's eyes widened and he sat up straight. «What?! No! I'm not some gay shit!» Eymen paused. «Keep going and you can find new friends.» Eymen seemed more than just pissed. The aura between these two wasn't good at all. Zeke looked down. «You saw the way I looked at Evelynn. But I saw the way you always looked at Santini.» Eymens eyes widened.☬꧂

꧁☬ «I know damn well I like her. But why are you wanting me to admit it?» Eymen paused. «Because I promised Camilla to make you protect her, not hurt her.» Now it was Zeke who paused. «....» A weird silence. «I would never hurt her so hard. I might give her some bruises when we train but most of the time I heal her. I check on her every fucking night. I even got things right with her dad.» Eymen smiled. «Never knew Lucifer jr was a softie.» He leaned against the fence, flicking his cigarette off. «Oh shut up.» The two teleported back to Theodore's room. Except Theodore no one was there. «Where have you guys been for so long?» Theo asked, crossing his arms. «I told him..You know.. About. The thing..» Theo nodded. Zeke sighed. «Are you ready for tomorrow? This is your last day without some ugly crap on your arm.» Theodore nodded. «Don't worry. Me and Ez are so ready.» ☬꧂
