When the Sugar Met the Flame [Leo x Blake] (Sequel to My Sweet Prince)

Chapter 44

Third person

"I can't go through with this, Marshall. It'll hurt him too much and could destroy our family all together..." Gumball told his husband, fearing the thought of losing the relationship he had with his son.

"You're the one who made the revision in the first place. Why won't you go through with it now? We both know he broke it and knew better. It's his punishment." Marshall replied, having some hatred towards Blake now because of the situation.

"I made it to keep Leo safe. I didn't think he would actually violate it in any way. I just can't stand to watch him suffer like that. Can't you feel empathy for them? We were in the same situation until I turned eighteen. Is it really fair that we got to stay together but they don't?" The Candy king stated, comparing the two situations which were strikingly similar.

Gumball was right. Marshall and him were violating rules with their relationship but were allowed to remain together. Perhaps they should do the same for Leo. It was only fair, wasn't it?

Marshall knew that his husband was right but didn't want to admit it. He had been around long enough that your first love can hurt the most if it doesn't work. The last thing he wanted was for his son to have his heart broken. That's the last thing any of them wanted.

"I know... But I just can't stand the thought of him having his heart broken... He's younger than we were and I feel like he's moving fast for his age..." The vampire admitted, his true worries about the situation finally coming out.

The two hugged for a few moments. The thought of Leo becoming heart broken worried them most of all. A broken heart can cause the most damage to a person's life. With their son being so young they didn't know how he would take it. He wouldn't just spring back, that was certain.

Leo would be a complete wreck without Blake. The flame boy was all he had for as long as he could remember. There were inseparably close. Keeping them apart would be devastating for both of them.

Blake wouldn't know what to do. He was practically depressed without Leo anyway. The thought of being without Leo made him want to jump into the ocean and fizzle out completely.

Without Blake in his life Leo would be miserable. He might keep himself distracted with other things, but he had a breaking point like everyone else. He would ultimately just lay in the sun until his life came to a fiery end.

Sure, if they were separated it would only be for two years, but those two years would be torture. They wouldn't be able to do it. Not even the hope of seeing each other at the end would keep them going.

"I know you can't, I can't either... But if we do that to him it'll only make the pain so much worse... I can't do it... I could never bring myself to do it..." Gumball replied to his husband, making his final decision.

They both walked out to the previous room to tell Leo the good news, but there was a problem. Leo was gone.
