Chapter 7 ~ Welcome to the club

"Mother,"

Sinclair was standing in his mother's room nervously, he was about to tell her his biggest secret. He couldn't hold it in anymore, he felt horrible for not telling her in the first place.

"Mother, I'm- I'm gay," He said quietly.

The queen slammed her hand on her vanity and stood up to look at her son.

"Who are you involved with?" She glared at him.

Sinclair felt so vulnerable, he felt like he going to break into pieces. His tears were streaming down his face.

The queen walked towards him and slapped his face harshly, "Who are you involved with? Don't you dare make me repeat myself again," she gripped onto Sinclair's arm tightly. A bruise started to form slowly.

"Demian, the prince of the Inferno kingdom," Sinclair whispered. He couldn't breathe, it was like water had been poured into his lungs.

The queen let go of his arm, it was red and Sinclair knew it was going to turn purple and blue later on.

The queen sat at her vanity again and looked into her reflection, "I forbid you to see him ever again,".

Sinclair felt like his heart dropped on to the ground and was stepped upon, "W-what?" his eyes were drowning in tears.

The queen turned around and looked at him again, she looked straight into his eyes.

"You will never see Demian again. I'll find you a wife and you'll have a beautiful family," she said coldly.

Sinclair ran out of his mother's room and searched for his lover.

The queen sighed and picked up her telephone.

"Cancel the duel, I have other things to deal with right now,"

Sinclair ran into the ballroom, his eyes were scanning the crowd for Demian.

"Demian? Demian?" Sinclair said as he walked through the couples dancing.

Suddenly, Sinclair was twirled around and he was in the arms of the prince of fire.

"Hello, Beautiful," Demian kissed Sinclair's cheek but noticed that it was wet, "Have you been crying?".

Sinclair hugged Demian and cried into his maroon coloured suit.

Demian held onto him tightly, he was extremely worried about the Crystillian boy.

Sinclair took a couple of breaths before speaking, "I came out to mother and she doesn't want me to see you anymore. She's going to marry me off to a girl,".

Demian's eyes started to reflect a blaze and his hands were becoming hot.

The Inferno Empire was one of the many kingdoms that had a royal with magical abilities. Demian could create fire with his hands. Nobody knew how he received them, they just knew that he was dangerous once provoked.

Sinclair noticed the heat radiating off of Demian's skin, "Babe, calm down please. We'll get through this together, I promise." Sinclair hugged him again.

Demian's eyes softened, he really couldn't resist Sinclair's touch. He loved him too much to hurt anyone.

Saint and Oliver were watching close by. "What in Apollo was that? I swear I saw fire coming from Demian's hands," she looked at Oliver, "Olly, am I going crazy or did you see that too?".
