Seeking Control: A Sanders Sides Tale

Chapter Thirty-two

Hunter's P.O.V

"This is ridiculous, why can't you just get with Carsen already?" I ask Dee after plopping on his bed. 

"What the hell Hunter? I told you it wasn't like that," he says turning around in his desk chair. 

"It's been over a month Dee, I thought you said you were going to make peace with the light sides," I say sitting up slightly to look at him. 

"I said I wondered if I should talk to Virgil," he says and then hits his head on the desk, "Besides, Carsen won't even talk to me let alone-" I cut him off. 

"Dee! Have you even tried talking to him?" I ask in an annoyed tone. 

"Well, not exactly," he responds. God, he's so clueless. I represent Hate and even I can see it. 

"Okay, I'm going to go hang out with Carsen now and then I wanna go talk with Virgil about something," I tell him as I stand up. 

I've talked to Virgil a few times since we all left the light commons and Dee hasn't said anything. I think he's finally coming to his senses but I can't be sure. 

I exit his room and make my way to Carsen's. I approach his room and knock on the door once before opening it. He's laying on his bed by his phone obviously worried about something.

Carsen's P.O.V

I hear someone knock on my door but I don't get up, instead I stay in the same spot on my bed. I don't even look up until I feel someone sit down next to me. Hunter. 

"What's up? You seem worried," he says laying next to me. Should I tell him? 

"It's nothing," I tell him. 

He looks at me with a questioning look but then suggests we watch something. I agree and we spend the rest of the day just hanging out and watching YouTube. 

"So are you planning on making a move on Dee yet?" Hunter asks in the middle of a video and I choke on the water I'm drinking. He finds this funny and starts laughing at me. 

"Not funny Hunter," I scold. After calming down he asks again. I shake my head no and ask him to change the subject.

"Come on Carsen, I'll even help you," he says nudging my arm. 

I look up at him surprised, "What?!" He wants to help me make a move on Dee? 

Putting my hand on his forehead I ask, "Are you feeling okay? Are you sick or something?" 

After slapping my hand away he glares at me saying, "I'm fine. I just think that you would be good for Dee and vice-versa." I smile and say thanks before then making fun of him for being a softy. 

"Shut up Carsen," he says but I notice a small smile anyways. We talk for another hour or so before he says he has to go. We say goodbye to each other and he leaves. My phone vibrates and it's another message from Virgil...

Virgil: whats going on with Dee he hasnt tried to hurt you has he

Carsen: I'm fine but I haven't really talked to Dee, Hunter has though. Are you gonna tell me what happened before?

Virgil: good. i officially joined the guild so i took on a job by myself but screwed up

As soon as I finish reading that he joined the guild, I use my Direct Line spell to teleport in his room. I must've scared Virgil because he jumps back holding his heart. 

"Don't do that!" he scolds but I ignore it and ask him to show me his guild mark. It takes me another minute of begging before he finally gives in. When he lifts his shirt enough for me to see I softly touch his mark.
