5.6 Aaron Blake

Aaron had never left Jonathan's side especially after they had marked each other. Not only did their atmosphere become much more open and ambiguous, they also held hands wherever they went, spreading PDA everywhere.

On the otherhand, Darren was desperately finding a way to get on Aaron's good side. But he wasn't stupid, he could tell that Aaron isn't happy with him mostly because of Jonathan. He has been wrecking his brain trying to find a way to solve the problem for his Zeon group.

Darren has not messaged or called Tristan at all during this period. Tristan was getting anxious.

" Darren? " Tristan anxiously called out through the phone.

"I'm pretty busy right now...."

" Can we just meet up?" Tristan asked

Darren stayed silent, thinking about something before answering , " ... yea.. sure at Viche at 3."

To Tristan, it felt like an appointment instead of a meeting of lovers. His mind trailed back to the loving couple, Aaron and Jonathan.

Shouldn't Jonathan be the one that loses everything? Why was he suffering? Why did Aaron want a trash that has been used?

Tristan waited solemnly at Viche's cafe chair. He took small sips waiting for Darren.

" Tristan." Darren gloomily called out.

" Darren. Sit."

" Tristan, hear me out okay? I need your help." Darren pleads frantically, he had tried all methods, but none would allow a meeting with Jonathan to convince him.

Tristan stayed silent as Darren continued, " You're a kind person, you can get near Jonathan! Please! Get Jonathan to coax Aaron! This agreement between the Blakes and Zeon is extremely important!"

The more he heard the more irritated Tristan got. Doesn't his own lover understand that he and Jonathan does not get along?? We just had a fight and he looked down on me! On me!! The lover of Darren! Why must I plead with him on Darren's behalf????

" Darren, you know I can't." Tristan gave Darren a pleading stare. Darren had a constipated face, Tristan doesn't know how much that agreement meant to Zeon and himself. He was just trying to work harder for their future.

" Tristan! You don't understand! Can you please put down your selfishness aside for now? Just now! We have to throw away our faces to just secure that agreement!" Darren's voice was getting louder, hints of annoyance in it.

Tristan didn't like the way he was talking to him. " You mean 'you' not 'we'. What the Zeon group does is not related to me!" He shouted angrily.

" Tristan... listen to me... this is for our future." Darren said calming down.

" If it is for our future, you can work it by yourself! Isn't that what's an alpha for??" Tristan was getting irritated, Darren is getting more and more unreasonable. Tristan didn't want to hear another word and left Viche.

Darren who was left behind could only look at Tristan's retreating figure in regret, if Tristan was Jonathan, would he abandon him like this? If Jonathan was here, he would support him throughout thick and thin, he could not help but think back to the times when Jonathan would selflessly help him clean up his mess, take the blame and helped his sorry ass.
