Serendipity's Embrace: Love Beyond Fates

Chapter 10 (Boxes)

Azazel and Kreo walked towards Sarah and Elysia with the others.

"What's happening right now?" Azazel asked.

"We are guessing the winner of the matching outfits competition." Sarah said. "We already guessed the second and third winners but not the first yet."

"Is it you and Elysia? Alex and Elise?" Kreo asked.

"No unfortunately, but we haven't tried me and Adrian," Lilith said.

Alex raised his hand before shouting Lilith and Adrian's names.

"They could've been! But their outfits aren't matching tonight!" The host said. "Maybe it's someone near you in that group."

Everyone started talking and everyone in that group already asked if they won but it wasn't. Everyone was confused and the host slapped his forehead as he kept waiting.

"Can't be us," Azazel said. "We're in a mess!"

"Hey!" The hostess said. Everyone looked at her. "You may be in a mess now doesn't mean you both were messy the entire evening!"

"Then it's them!" Sarah shouted and jumped as she held up Azazel's arm.

"Finally!" The host said. "Please make your way here."

The evening finished with Azazel and Kreo receiving their prizes: a light grey baby hamper for Kreo and free couples resort tickets for Azazel.

As they contemplated their unexpected gifts, Kreo jokingly questioned if the hamper was a sign for something. Azazel covered his face as Kreo brought laughter from the crowd. Eventually, the night ended, and as they waited for their ride home.

"I'm hungry," Azazel said as his stomach growled.

It was 12.30 am, everything was closed. Kreo and the driver looked around until they found a fast food place to order at a drive-thru. Azazel finished everything before falling asleep in the car as Kreo followed.

"Azazel," Kreo said in a soft voice.

"Five more minutes..." Azazel mumbled before going back to sleep.

Kreo smiled at this before gently carrying Azazel inside, careful not to wake him. As they entered his home, Kreo laid Azazel down on bed before fetching a blanket that covered Azazel. With a smile, Kreo whispered, "Sweet dreams, my love," before joining Azazel on bed and drifting off to sleep himself.

"Oh, Kreo!" A voice shouted.

Kreo jolted awake before shaking Azazel up. They both heard the voice before the door burst open.

"Good morning," A blonde woman stood there. "How was last night's gala? And who was-" she paused, staring at Azazel and Kreo on bed.

Kreo jumps out of bed while Azazel hides under the sheets. Kreo slowly pushed his mother outside of the door before closing it, Azazel peeked out of the sheets and sighed in relief. He looked at himself, still in the dress.

He got up and searched through Kreo's closet before something that could fit him. He still doesn't understand how big that man is.

"Is that the girl from the gala?" Kreo's mother asked.

Kreo nodded.

"Well, why is she in your bed?" Kreo's mother asked another. "Did you both do something last night?" She giggled.

"Darla, stop teasing your son." Kreo's father said which stopped Kreo's tracks. "At least our son found someone to bring and not be shamed by everyone."
