Quinn immediately runs over to him, pulling him into a tight embrace. "Auden, I'm so glad you're okay" They whisper.
Auden smiles hugging them back. "I've missed you so much" He says quietly. "And I you" Quinn replies pulling back. "Now what happened?" They ask gently.
Auden chews on his lip before explaining everything, including our plan to separate Auden and I. Once he finishes, Quinn stays silent.
"Darling? Are you okay?" Auden asks slightly worried and Quinn slowly nods.
"Just.. a bit surprised is all" They say and clear their throat. "I agree with John. The plan is too dangerous" They state.
"I know.. I know. But what other choice do we have?" Auden asks and Quinn pauses for a moment before saying anything.
"I suppose if this is what you and Kai want.. we do it. But promise me you'll be careful" They say slightly worried.
"I promise" Auden says gently, looking into their eyes. Quinn nods quietly and pulls him closer, hugging him tightly once more.
A moment later they pull away from each other and look at John. "Are you okay with this?" Quinn asks.
"I don't know yet. Perhaps we should wait and maybe we can come up with a different plan?" He says.
'I agree. Let's wait before rushing into anything' I say and Auden nods. "Okay, Kai agrees we should wait. But if it comes down to it, you can't stop us, okay?" He says.
"…Okay" John says and Auden smiles slightly.
"Perfect. Now, I'm going to take a shower and get some sleep" He says tiredly and kisses Quinn's cheek before walking away.
'I had no idea John was so wealthy' I say as Auden walks upstairs and into the bathroom. "Well he is the CEO of a large company" He says chuckling slightly.
'Indeed he is' I say dreamily, thinking about him.
"See, you like him. You know, I think you should tell him how you feel" He says grinning.
'Hmm maybe I will. But perhaps I should wait until this whole mess is over' I say.
He hums taking his clothes off and starting the shower. "I suppose so" He says.
A moment later, he finishes his shower and steps out. "Do you ever wonder what goes on in Malcolm's mind?" He asks.
'Sometimes. I imagine it's filled with darkness and trauma' I say.
"How so?" He asks curiously.
'Well someone with such.. issues must have some sort of underlying trauma behind it' I state.
"Yeah you're probably right. I almost feel bad for him" He says.
'Yeah me too' I say.
He nods and gets dressed before walking out and into John's room. He lays on the bed tiredly and stretches before yawning and falling asleep.
....
I slowly open my eyes and look around. "I suppose we switched in our sleep" I mumble before looking over and seeing John with his arms around me.
I blush darkly watching him.
'Wow he's so.. beautiful' I think to myself, admiring him. He slowly opens his eyes and looks at me.
"You're staring" He says with a small grin and I blush darker. "I had no idea.." I mumble embarrassed and he chuckles quietly.
"It's okay tiny, it's cute" He says smirking.
