For Those We've Lost - [Sequel]

Part 1 - Chapter 7

Even though Tam told Azalea and Ruki that he was ready to learn about his origins, he really didn't feel like he was. Yes, he was curious about what the two ancients knew about his 'origins', but what if this was all some sort of trick? I mean, Keefe didn't trust this organisation, then again, Keefe seems to have trouble trusting others easily like Tam, even though Tam practically trusted Azalea and Ruki instantly.

Right now Tam was following behind Azalea and Ruki. He wasn't sure where they were heading, and he was so sure that the two of them would talk to him as soon as they were alone, but...it seemed like they were flirting with each other, not paying Tam any mind, it was as if he wasn't there and they were on a romantic date with each other. That only made Tam miss Keefe and wish they spent some more time together.

Even though it's been around a week since they were placed in that house, he and Keefe had been busy running some errands, and by that Tam meant that Keefe was practically doing all the shopping for them while Tam was stuck at home cleaning. This is what sucked about not knowing English, Tam was stuck home practically all the time.

Azalea glanced over her shoulder, seeing Tam was staring at the ground as he trailed behind her and Ruki. Azalea frowned slightly and she looked at Ruki, leaning in to whisper.
"Shouldn't we make conversation with him?" Azalea questioned.

"He'll ask about his origins and what we mean, we need to take him to 'that place' before we start explaining anything." Ruki said, her tone of voice quiet and soft as she looked at her wife. "Relax, he can wait 20 more minutes until we get there."
Ruki squeezed Azalea's hand as a way to reassure her that everything would be fine. Azalea let out a soft sigh and she smiled.

"Hey, Tam!" Azalea exclaimed, looking over at the male and letting go of Ruki's hand. Ruki blinked, not expecting for her wife to do that. Ruki sighed out as she continued to walk on while Azalea slowed down to walk next to Tam.
Tam looked up at the female and Azalea held her arm out, wanting to interlock their arms. Tam felt strange but he went ahead and interlocked his arm with Azalea's.
"How is everything? By that, I mean your new home. Are you and Lord Hunkyhair enjoying it?" Azalea questioned.

Oh, Tam was so glad Keefe wasn't here to hear Azalea call him by that ridiculous name.

"Uh, everything is fine. Keefe and I are thankful that you provided us with such a lovely home." Tam managed to smile at Azalea. "So, about my 'origins'-?"
"We'll get to that later, I promise we'll explain everything to you! Let's just have a fun little gossip sesh about you and that boyfriend of yours! So, how did you become official?" Azalea asked, smiling at Tam.
Tam blinked. He tried to recall when he and Keefe made things official, if they even had made things official. Tam grimaced slightly and he grinned nervously at Azalea.

"Uhm...I don't think we officially made things official, we just...well, I guess when we ran away and he told me he loved me and I kissed him? I-I don't know, does that count?" Tam questioned.
Ruki seemed to snort out a laugh but quickly stifled it as she felt Azalea shoot a glare from behind her. Tam felt a little embarrassed.

"You never asked each other out properly?" Azalea questioned, genuinely curious as she looked at Tam.
"No, it appears not." Tam answered, looking away and tugging at his bangs.

"Uhm, how did you two get together?"
Tam looked up at Azalea and glanced at Ruki. Azalea blinked and she hummed to herself.
"Hmm, how did we get together?" Azalea questioned, looking over at Ruki.
Ruki glanced over her shoulder at Azalea. "Wow~ I see how much you love me, you can't even recall how we got together!"
Azalea raised her eyebrows."...Would you like to sleep on the couch tonight if you continue with this attitude?" Azalea questioned.

Tam bit his inner cheek, feeling extremely uncomfortable being in this situation. He really didn't want Azalea and Ruki to start fighting or fight the whole way to wherever the hell they were going, and then all of a sudden can't focus on Tam and his 'origins'.
