The misfortunes of a slacker

Chapter 10

He could already suspect what it was about since Cale only asked for him it must be something to do with his secret.

"So?" Alberu looked at him expectantly.

"My ability..."

"Is she the reason you're like this?"

"Yes..."

"Why now?" He thought for a moment so that he could understand the situation on his own.

"It's due to fatigue, isn't it?"

Cale nodded. The prince was devastated now, it was partly his fault, he should have paid him more attention and made him rest.

"What should we do to help you?"

"Unconscious..."

"You have to be unconscious for it to deactivate?"

"Yes..."

"I don't think the others will like it..."

Cale frowned at that. « I've given them the solution just hit me hard enough or something, what's the problem then?»

Alberu, who had seen this, sighed, he knew Cale was ignorant of feelings, but even he should understand. After he's been declared literally dead, nobody wants to see him unconscious again!

He hesitated to ask more about his ability or what he could have seen during his seizures, but at the same time he was curious and wanted to know a little more about his dongsaong.

"Cale, can I ask you something?"

The redhead didn't know if he should accept Alberu's request cold feelings invaded his body after hearing the tone of the question. But he ignored it as always and agreed.

"While your ability was active... what did you see? You were completely panicked and looked scared..."

He knew that question was bound to come one day after this but he didn't think so soon and he wished he hadn't thought about it sooner if ever.

Cale looked away from Alberu.

"You don't have to answer me if you don't want to but... I was we were all worried about you..."

Of course he knew, how could he not after everything that had happened ?

"My friends...earth...dead..." He explained as much as he could, he didn't want to remember but he felt his brother deserved at least a little.

He didn't notice but a tear had fallen from his eyes at this. Alberu quickly moved closer to him and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of anything, but you gave me such a fright when...when the doctor said you were dead... I don't want that to happen again, please talk to us".

Cale didn't understand the prince's sudden outburst.

-Cale, you're crying

The answer came from somewhere else.

He hadn't even noticed that he was crying.

It took a little while for the mixed blood to calm down again. Once he had, he let go of the redhead and sat back down in his seat.

"I'll... try... I promise..." Cale promised to try and talk to them more about his feelings and his past, even if it was difficult for him.

"All right." Alberu readily agreed after all Cale always kept his word.

"Perhaps you should talk to Eruhaben-nim about your secret." Alberu suggested, seeing the dragon's behaviour with Cale he was sure he wouldn't get angry with him and would be quite happy to be in the know with them. And it would help Cale deal with his trauma as well as making it easier to help him with his ability.
