I see the light in your eyes...(identity v Eli x Aesop)

Chapter 17

It was late at night in the garden the embalmer sat alone taking the sight of the moonlight on the flowers he didn't normally stay up this late he just found a little hard to sleep today after what happened today. He wondered would Naib tell? Eli said he wouldn't but he was still skeptical. He brushed his lower lip, not even a day ago he had Eli's lips on his It made him feel warm in the chest. He stood up and started to walk around the garden taking in the sight and the peace of the moment. For some reason deep down he knew this peace wouldn't last for long everything just felt to right for him, After all, a story can't be a good one without conflict. He was just over thinking right? He sighed and shrugged it off before going back to walking around the garden.

In the morning Eli woke up he looked around then sighed. He got up and changed he didn't have any matches today so he just put on some casual clothes and his blindfold on. He went out of his room Keeping his eyes to the floor he dragged his feet as he walked. Most people at this time were in matches he didn't even notice he bumped into someone until they called out his name. He looked up it was Naib.

Naib said, "Eli? Eli You okay you look lost in thought?"

Eli looked at him for a second before nodded his head he said, "yeah I'm fine." He gave a small smile to Naib.

Naib raised an eyebrow and said, "You're sure your okay?"

Eli nodded and said, "Yeah just tried"

Naib tilted his head before smirking and saying," Aww~ stayed up too late getting fucked"

Eli stared at him blankly, "Huh" He said silently for a second before getting it, "Oh! , Wait fuck you Naib"

Naib just laughed at the smaller boy's response He ruffled his hair, "Got any matches today?"

Eli shook his head, "No not today what about you?"

 Naib nodded then sighed a little bit he said, "Not any right now more later tonight"

Eli said, "Okay wanna hang out then?"He didn't even wait for Naib to answer he just dragged him into his room. He just plopped down on his bed

Naib shrugged Eli did this more than often he sat down next to Eli and said," So I didn't get the chance yesterday to ask this but what's going on between you and Aesop I know it's pretty obvious but just wanna know for sure."

Eli sighed and said, "I knew you where gonna ask me that. Stop snooping around, and...yes, we're dating now" His face went red at the last few words that came out his mouth.

Naib patted his head, "Okay okay."He looked at Eli then smiled, " Your blushing"He snickered a bit and rolled his eyes, " But I'll support you no matter what you do, well for the most part that is" He tone went down a little bit, About the past few days ago, Don't ever do that again"

Eli felt a shiver down his spine. It's true Naib could be just plain scary when he gets real serious. He looked down a bit sitting up, " Yeah, sorry." He avoids looking naib in the eye

Naib just nodded giving Eli a sharp glare before his expression soften as well as his tone, he said, "Good, Don't be an idiot that just lead to nothing."

Eli just gave a nod he could tell that Naib was just trying to be imitating but under all of that Niab was just concerned that's the way Naib has always been at the manor.
