My Count Watres

The Return

Victor had pulled away from the people once again. Not as much as the first time, but still quite distant. He'd not been in life threatening danger in Adrien's absence.

A sudden knock came from the palace doors, the knocking not stopping.

An unrecognizable maid answered. "Can I help you, Sir?" she peeked out, curiously eyeing the stranger.

Adrien stood there with a confused look. "A new maid? How interesting~" He smirked at the woman with a smug look, he bowed to her. "Hello, i've come to speak with Count Watres."

"Do you have an appointment with my master?" She gave an unamused look, dusting off her skirt.

"An appoinment?" He let out a chuckle, standing straight. His abs rippling as he stood. "Honey, i'm a love interest of the Count. I've been with him before you even became a maid here. You're a new one," He smirked softly.

"I'm afraid I can't let anyone in without an appointment. Master's orders." she closed the door on him, locking it behind her. He remembered where one of the secret entrances was.

"I'll punish her later..." He mumbled, walking around to the secret entrance and entered the palace. He stretched out his arms, his stomach tucking in as he took a deep breath. "A long day.." He muttered as he started up the stairs, reaching the Count's sleeping quarters. He knocked.

There wasn't an answer, but he could hear a familiar voice down the hall toward the office

He hummed as he walked down to the office, quickly swinging the door open with a large, excited smile.

A man in a dark suit with cleanly cut, short blonde hair stood, speaking with a much younger man with deep orange hair and freckles hugged his arm, giggling. When the younger noticed Adrien, he furrowed his brow, confused. "How did you get in here...?"

His eyes narrowed with annoyance as he looked between the two. "Victor...?" He questioned quietly, looking at the blonde male with a questionable look.

The blonde turned, arching a brow. When he saw the other, his eyes went wide. "...Adrien...?" his eyes began to well and he darted around his desk. "Adrien!!" he grinned, launching himself at the other.

"V-Victor, darling...?" The freckled male stared in terror and confusion.

Adrien backed away, his heart sinking when the other called his Victor darling. His once happy aura turned to one of anger and heartbreak as his eyes went dark with betrayal. His lips curled back in a low growl. "Who. The. Fuck. Is. This. Man," Adrien snapped, he stepped foward and took the ginger by the collar, plucking him up with ease and pinned him to the wall. He had the most angered and hurt expression known to man.

Victor's heart sank. "Adrien, please don't hurt him..." the blonde moused. "Just let him go and we can talk..."

The ginger squirmed and struggled.

He growled and let go of the smallers collar, letting him drop to the floor with a thud. He walked over to sit on the table with his elbows resting on his knees. "You better explain before this poor piece of shit loses his fucking arms and legs," He hissed, he was visibly sweating from his rage.

Victor helped the smaller to his feet, telling him to have one of their drivers take him home. He slipped out of the room, keeping his eyes on Adrien, afraid he'd be attacked again. Once the man was safely away, Victor raked his fingers through his short blonde hair. Victor's face was almost unrecognizable as he looked longingliy at Adrien, sitting on the edge of the desk. "You've been gone for so long..."

He shook his head. "Cut the bullshit, Count. Why the fuck were you all up on that man and why the hell did he call you darling!?" He hissed with rage, quickly standing to pace around the room. Raking his fingers through his messy hair of curls as he tried to calm himself. "You said you loved me...You said you loved only me...You said no one could compare to me," He stopped to stare at the ground, his hands balling up into fists. "I was gone for your sake, I told you i'd come back....I gave my heart to you, I did everything for you...THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT!" He hissed, slamming his hands down on the table with such force, it sounded throughout the palace. "I LOVED YOU AND I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!...." Every word was laced with pain.
