"Don't talk to me. I don't wanna see your faces'' It sounded cute to the Beta and melted the iceberg of the cold-hearted vampire as they watched their man friend going ahead.
Ivan didn't look back. There was no way he wanted them to follow him as he felt his heart on the tip of the volcano. But out of curiosity, he pulled out his phone, switched on his camera, and held it in a sneaky way to see if they were chasing him. But there was none. He closed the camera and stopped in his tracks.
Unbelievable!
With a sigh, he turned and almost bumped into two arms. His spectacles slid down to his nose, ready to fall on the ground but Kai caught them quickly.
The brooding guy stared at Ivan with a serious expression on his face while the other one tilted his head, which made his blue streaks of hair strands fall over his forehead.
"W-what? H-how? I just saw no one behind me on my phone camera"
Ivan becomes perplexed.
"Are you sure? Because all the time we were behind you" with a slight hint of mischievousness oozed out when he talked in his deep confident voice while Kai wore those spectacles back to his confused man-friend's eyes.
'At this time they want to play hide and seek with me! Don't they know I can kill them with my eyes that are so angry I am on them right now!'
Ivan shook his head in disbelief and turned away from them walking further.
"You guys have no idea what could have happened if you didn't attend today's ceremony." He looked back and found both of them following him. "The principal was ready to kick me out but there was this guy ready to offer me a job as a private tutor. What should I do? Shall I try it?"
While talking he reached the empty entrance which was crowded a few hours ago. A loud horn flinched at him, grabbing his attention. He turned and saw a black car stopping in front of him. The doors opened and he found the two male specimens sitting inside.
"How did you get in the car when you two-" walking behind me again? He glanced back once again then at the car.
Kai waved at him ducking a bit so he could see through the window while Augustus gestured his head at him to get inside.
Ivan sometimes didn't understand how they managed to prank him every time. Because of their antiques, Ivan always felt he is extremely slow in catching people or any regular activities. Unaware of their powers that weren't human, Ivan thought time is way faster than him.
Ivan rolled his eyes while crossing his arms. He was in no mood to talk, fight or patch up with them. Augustus got down from the car and walked towards him.
"You are slower than an ant to match up with us." his mocking words only enraged Ivan.
"Oh please at least I was on time unlike you two sloths" he snapped hard.
Augustus blanked him. "Get into the car Tiny"
"Come on Amor, get in"
He heard Kai and felt amused that he followed the words. He needed to keep that anger so they could understand his anger. His feet moved in the opposite direction, walking away from them, but halted when heard the predatory howls of wild animals. The sky appeared empty, without stars and moon, the creepy road and cold air gave chills to him.
One more howling and he quickly turned running back to the car. He stopped when coming to the nearest radar of his friends feeling no sense of danger now.
He noticed Kai peeping down from the car while Augustus gazed at him silently.
"Why are you looking at me like?" he moved towards the car, cutting through their gazes. "I can't let you two travel alone in such a creepy place. It's a matter of your two's safety, you know, you should be thankful that I am with you" blabbering this he got inside the car, shifting in the middle, and furrowing his brows at Kai to his right. Augustus too got into the car silently sitting beside Ivan.
"I am feeling very thankful to you Amor," Kai genuinely smiled at him. Ivan's anger started melting.
"And thus I have to tell you that, don't do private tutoring." Kai took a hold of his palms which appeared small in his big hands.
How do they get to know when they weren't with me?
"It's not safe these days." Slowly he caressed his bare skin while talking with a concerned face.
"I-I know what's good for me" Ivan pulled out his hand from Kai's hold but felt something in his fist.
When he opened it, an instant joy covered his face.
"I love lollipops" His eyes sparkled up as he tore one of the candy and put it in his mouth. Kai once glanced at his fuller peach-coloured lips. As he sucked the lollipop, his mouth became watery. He looked out of the window and exhaled deeply.
"Guys guys guys," Suddenly he remembered to ask them something. "Spiderman homecoming is going to release tomorrow and I was thinking to go for a first-day first show"
Ivan clasped his hands waiting for their reply.
They didn't react at all. Instead, Kai kept looking outside the window while Augustus seemed busy watching some animal fights on youtube.
"GUYS! Please, I asked something" Ivan whined in between the uninterested fellas.
The model and the fighter shifted their focus on Ivan.
"Spiderman! Isn't it one who can't even kiss straight?"
Ivan looked in the direction of the voice. With a popping sound, he pulled out the lollipop and snapped at Augustus, "What did you say? He is the best kisser."
Augustus' eyes fell on his glossy saliva-coated lips. "How do you know?"
"Wh-what do you mean? It's a famous type of kiss. Best of all" Ivan shifted to his position.
The corner of Augustus's lips raised. "How about you prove it?"
"How about you google it? '' Ivan replied with a sass.
"I don't believe in google" Augustus scooted closer to Ivan. "Unless you prove it" That only made Ivan shift away from him but as he looked behind, realized he got closer to the other giant one.
Kai stared at Ivan as if he was a strawberry ice cream. His eyes fell on his lips and involuntarily Ivan licked them.
"Do you need spiderman for that or this one will be fine?" The beta flirted playfully seeing Ivan going breathless.
He immediately sprung away from him. "YOW TWO ARE UN-UNBELIEVABLE"
Ivan snapped at them as they chuckled, making the tiny human fall short on his breaths just by a few words.
They adjusted back to their seats leaving Ivan in splits. He couldn't understand what just happened to him!
He could feel his face turning warm. It wasn't like them hitting on him for the first time then why did he feel different now?
Ivan knew they do such tricks on him to pull his leg but sometimes it feels different. He brushed his hand over his chest, trying to calm his chaotic heartbeats, with nervous eyes.
"Can we go on an adventurous trek?" Kai broke the trance of his thoughts.
"We did that last weekend and my legs are still a bit sore" Ivan blurted.
"Then for camping?" Kai came up with another.
"We did that two weeks before. The camp is broken" Ivan answered.
"How about a bonfire?"
"It caught fire in the woods last time. Anything else?"
Ivan raised his eyebrow in warning.
Kai shook his head knowing the tiny can blast anytime now.
He shifted to Augustus who let out a huge sigh.
"I don't like that creature, always busy making webs urgh"
"It's called spiderman! He is extraordinary, has many powers, tries to save everyone and I love him" Ivan defended his favourite hero.
"Whatever," Augustus mumbled pouting his lips.
"You are just jealous of him." Ivan shook his head laughing at sulking Augustus.
He glanced at Kai to join him in laughing but found him adorably staring at his face with that stupid smile on his face.
"If kissing upside down is a superpower then I would love to grasp this too"
His laughter faded.
"That's it. If you don't want to go with me then I will pick someone else for the movie night"
"No need for that. I will accompany you" Kai's words filled with possessiveness demanded first to be with him. That only brought an instant smile to Ivan's face until he said further "But after my practice session tomorrow"
"No more practice, please! You have already wounded yourself a lot" He talked while holding Kai's wrist to show him his bloodied knuckles "Now look at your hand goddammit" saying that he pulled back the sleeves of the fighter of the ring and found no injury there.
His mouth fell apart in shock. He checked it again on another hand finding his skin normal and couldn't believe his eyes.
"H-how is this possible?"
"He had quickly sprayed there, must have eased his pain" Augustus pitched in between while passing a glance to Kai. The beta powers have helped him to heal those wounds.
Ivan looked shocked.
"But his knuckles were so badly injured like I even saw blood there, how can they heal in such a short period?"
Kai chuckled. "Hey, Amor, I wasn't that badly injured"
"Naah, I remember seeing your bruises very clearly." Kai saw how Ivan checked his both hands properly.
"That's normal. I use gloves and they are in neat condition so they don't hurt my fists much" Kai tried to make him understand.
"But-"
"I think our Tiny is stressed because once he gets angry he forgets everything else" Augustus talked without looking at them. Kai agreed with him.
Ivan leaned back while scratching his head thinking what was real? The bloodied knuckles or he is really stressing over nothing?
Perhaps I am overthinking. Shaking his head and leaving out a sigh, he looked relieved that Kai wasn't injured and Augustus is in a humorous mood as well.
He clasped his hands looking at the duplets again. "So we are watching spider man this weekend"
And with that, both guys looked outside the window.
"Come on, I like spiderman," Ivan whined.
His eyes shifted to Augustus for his reaction.
"I don't like him" his response was straight.
Meanwhile, Ivan looked at Kai expectedly.
"Fine, I will try"
"No try, you have to come"
"How about you come to my practice and we will go out from there?" Kai's plan sounded much better to Ivan but to Augustus. He had remembered something else in his mind. Before Ivan said anything, he blurted. "But Kai, we have important work for tomorrow."
"It can wait," Kai said while smiling and staring at Ivan. It made the other one speechless.
"You!" Ivan pointed at Augustus. "Don't talk to me."
Kai chuckled. "Don't worry about him. He will surely be there with us"
That only made the former vampire go into a dilemma.
As the car reached Ivan's home, he poked the chauffeur, telling him to stop there.
Kai gave him a way to get down, holding the door for him. Augustus stared at Ivan's back till he closed the door.
"Take care Tiny" As Augustus wished, Ivan showed him his middle finger, earning a laugh from Kai.
When he went out of sight, Augustus glared at the world beside him.
"Do you even know what tomorrow is?"
Kai shrugged while humming a song as his mind still hoovered back imagining Ivan.
"Full moon night and you know what it means-"
Kai paused abruptly after realizing the truth of their existence. Both males looked at each other bemused, meanwhile, their chauffeur started the car engine and drove ahead.
