[BOOK 1] The Adamahns and the Star Child 🏳️🌈 [boxboy][original]

15. Excuses

"Nothing."

Ajax said as he tried to stay calm. He walked back to the kitchen as it was the best way to avoid accidentally making physical contact with North.

"Are you done inspecting my apartment?"

Ajax said coldly to Silas. Silas, then, nodded in affirmation.

"Get out."

"Brrr ... that is so icy and harsh." Silas teased.

"Why are you here?" Ajax replied annoyingly.

"Why? Can't I visit a friend?"

Ajax raised his eyebrow. "Friend?" He said sarcastically.

"Oh, here we go again."

"Silas, damn it, if you are not going to tell me truth why you are here, please leave while I'm asking you nicely."

Silas was about to open his mouth but decided otherwise. He walked to where Ajax was. And, when he was a foot away, he began to speak.

"Look, I am here because I was worried."

There was an actual sincerity to Silas' voice when he said those words.

"Worried about what?" Ajax seemed confused.

"You." Silas simply said.

Ajax looked at him long and hard. Then, he burst into a laughter.

The kind of laughter where your tummy hurts and your eyes become all teary from laughing so hard. And, that no matter how hard you tried to stop, you just can't. You stopped but then again you started laughing crazily again. It was that kind of laughter that Ajax experienced when Silas explained to him why he came to his apartment.

One could only imagined how Silas might had felt when he saw Ajax's reaction. Yet, he remained silent and unmoved and let Ajax finished his hysterical amusement at his expense.

"Seriously ... (chuckles) ... Silas ... this made up for the fucked up day that I am having." Ajax laughs again.

"Ajax, seriously, I am here because I 'm worried about you." Silas said a bit irritated. "After, I heard from Willow what happened ..."

"GET THE FUCK OUT!"
