One Time Thing [Zyx x Lennox]

Chapter 11: The Unexpected Call

Zyx's POV

I awake to the sweet smell of rain and the warm sensation on my body. Lennox cuddles close to me. I can't help but admire his stupidly cute face as he sleeps with his mouth open. I close his lips shut with mine and get up, covering him gently in the blankets surrounding him and closed the bedroom door. 

*fast heartbeat*

"what is this...what is this feeling, am I having a heart attack?"

but no it wasn't, or whatever version of a heart attack it was, it felt..good. all I could feel in the moment was the muscle memory of his touch all over me. My delusions were cut short though when the house phone rang. I sighed and used my magick to teleport me to the kitchen to pick it up.

"This is ....*sigh* this is Prince Zyx of Etheria speaking...."

I never liked announcing myself as a prince, it felt like I was above others, which could feel nice if my people weren't responsible for the killing of many civilians here in Downtown Brutes. My eyes widened and my heartbeat slowed down. 

"excuse me...but i- BUT I CANT- I WONT-....fine...fine... I'll be there"

As I threw my phone against the wall, I felt my magick levitate everything around me. My body shook uncontrollably as I tried to stabilise myself. Eventually, I did, I floated off to my room and sighed as I unlocked my silver closet.

"oh...how I'm not excited to see you"

I say to my crown and golden royal attire, the cape sparkling like diamonds as I put it on, adjusting my long golden hair with the gel and finally looking myself in the mirror as I put the crown on. I hate my reflection already, adding the attire covered in the blood of the innocent makes it even worse. I didn't want this stupid crown on my head, I didn't want to be associated with these...monsters

not after meeting Lora

.

.

. 

*flashback to 3 years prior*

I found her in the reck of Downtown. She was a skilled fighter and pickpocket, swift yet graceful. She tried to rob me, and the feeling in my chest when I looked at her baby face for some reason made me not want to slice her into 3. My father was upset at this, he always said I had too much of a heart, a puss and a worthless prince.

"scatter young one..and never return here"

" .. why won't you fight me? FIGHT ME U COWARD"

"I'd destroy ur fragile bones, scatter now."

"YOU'RE EVIL...YOU AND YOUR STUPID FRIENDS KILLED MY FAMILY....they were all I had left...they never liked me but I still..I still loved them"

That day, when she told me that, I felt like I was looking into my own reflection, Lora had suffered just like me, she had a heart of gold not valued by her family. I couldn't let anyone hurt her after this, I swore to protect her from all I went through.

I trained her in my penthouse, and slowly but surely I taught her how to use magick to her advantage.

" *laughs* wait wait, so I can lift anyone with this one symbol?"

"yes and put me down!"

I'm not sure how but we'd get close, like I was raising my own. all my questions had been answered one night though

"We have your little kitten....come home son and finish what u started."

when my own father

"UNHAND HER YOU PIECE OF FILTH"

tried to kill Lora...just as a way to make me take over the kingdom. The rage I felt pent up in me as I watched my father's sword slice her face made the ground shake below me and the currents in the water rise, drowning the entire kingdom.

"are u ok Lora...does it hurt too much? here let me burn it so it won't get infected"

That day, that look she gave me

" ouch...thanks..but you're bleeding too, here let me try that spell we were working on. non-dominant on my heart, set my intentions, dominant hand on the wound."

 the words and care she provided me after

"There u go...thank you... Daddy"

*flashback ends*

made me never want to step foot in that hell hole ever again, but this time it seems my father had no one to bribe me with. It's just his birthday...his 1000th birthday. a big milestone for my kind. I hate myself for this but I can't miss this. Lora is safe...somewhere and I know that if anything happens, I'll know, I always do. And he said to bring a plus one..how fun.

My thoughts were interrupted when Lennox entered my room, his eyes undressing me from head to toe. my "heart attack" started to build up again as I smiled at him, still holding my crown.

"So big man's a prince huh? Sexy~"

"shut up twat *sigh*''

Lennox leaned on the door, his facial expressions changing from hot to concerned as he walked toward me. I sighed and smiled as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, leaning on my back. i took his hands off my shoulders and turned towards him the sparkles left behind from my cape lighting up his eyes.

Lennox...do u wanna wear a suit or a dress?"

His eyes lit up at my question, tilting his head slightly as I picked him up and spun him around, laughing.

"LET ME GO YOU DUMBASS, OH IM GONNA THROW UP ON YOU I SWEAR"
