Shades Of Red

Chapter Eight

Alex sat alone in his office, he kept his eye on the clock ever since he heard about the small inercourse with Vlad and Gabe hunting down Ace. Looking away this once at the door opening to show Adrian walking in with one of Alex's students.  Harvey.   

"Brother, what owes the pleasure?" Alex sat up and watched Adrian push Harvey forward.  "I found one of your students wandering my halls. I just came to return him." Adrian said, surprisingly very mature like.  "Ah yes, ill take care of this matter. Thank you, Adrian."  he nodded and walked out. Alex turned his gaze back to Harvey.   "What am i going to do with you?" Alex asked, standing up.  "I just want to see how hes doing, sir. I miss him." Harvey said.  Alex sighed and made his way over to Harvey.  Putting his hands on his shoulders, Alex leaned down to his height.  "I understand, but dont just go sneaking off to our rivals school. You could've gotten seriously hurt over there." Alex let go of Harvey, and a slight blush formed on his cheeks as they made eye contact.  "Im sorry, but i will have to give you a weeks worth of detention. That is violating our school rules." Harvey looked down disappointed.  "I understand, Sir." Alex smiled.  "Please, call me Alex." Harvey blushed and nodded. "Im glad you understand, go now, you'll miss your classes." Alex dismissed Harvey. He ran out with a heavy blush.   The whole school knew about Harveys plan of sneaking off to the Red territory and getting information about their next year plan of the Track Games. But Harvey didn't do that, he wanted tabs on Ace and he got some of the things he wanted. Running past cheering students on making past the gates, Harvey ignored them and slid into his dorm. Oliver and Charlie were waiting for him once he slipped in.  the blush stayed on his face as he stood to catch his breath.  The Headmaster wanted Harvey to call him Alex.. his name. He couldn't do that, its weird.

'Well? What did you get about that ass?" Charlie asked. Harvey slid a tan folder out from his jacket and handed it to her. It was thin, and small but it contained so much.  She opened it and scanned through the six pages. Her eyes widen at the last two pages. "But hes a boy!" she yelled. Oliver stole the folder away from Charlie and looked through it himself. He pulled out the pictures.  Aces ultrasound.  Oliver looked at them with shock and disbelief. Oh it was there, the twins, the baby, and a recent picture of the bump. "No, its all here, proof." Oliver put the pictures back into the folder. "The things are bad accidents. Were going to get rid of them before they are here." Harvey became horrified.  "You're not going to kill them!" Harvey yelled, stealing the folder back. "Are you crazy? They arent even born yet." Oliver sighed and looked at Harvey.  "That's the point, they arent born yet so they deserve to die inside that prick." Oliver pushed Harvey on a bed. Aces old bed.  "No they dont!" Harvey stood up and ran out of the dormroom.  Oliver huffed angrily and sat down in his chair.  "Hell never learn that Ace isn't our friend anymore." Charlie looked down. She started to feel like Harvey might be right about Ace, maybe he really is a good person after all.

"Ah, yes. Thank you Ace, ill sort through these once i get a chance. Its been a hectic Wednesday." Alex smiled. Ace laughed, "I bet, its been a bit crazy on my side too. With the twins already kicking and this upcoming holiday, stress has been throwing everywhere."  Ace rubbed the back of his neck and blushed. "Already kicking? M-mind if i feel?" Alex felt awkward asking. "Not at all," Alex smiled again. Ace lifted his shirt to show off his bump and Alex placed his warm hands on the bump. So far, nothing. On his left hand, he felt a small bump hit his hand. A wide smile formed on both Alexs and Aces face.  "Told you they kick." Ace said. Alex stood up and was close to Ace, like very close. Ace puffed his cheek and took a step back, a blush formed. "Well, i do thank you for the forms. Ill sign the new arrivals as soon as im able. "Alex said. Ace nodded and started for the door but a hand caught his wrist. Alex pulled Ace close to him, close enough Ace could hear Alexs beating heart.  Ace looked up at Alex, he didnt know what Alex was doing.  A hand grabbed his waist and the other intertwined Aces and Alexs fingers together.
