A-Xuan smiled as he leaned back in his chair. He knows Naethan will go to Maddox to have him killed during their scavenging missions for the guns. He had no intention of forgiving Maddox, that sociopath.
He knew he would feel more crushed if he believed that he had feelings for him. The worst person in all of this is Maddox. Maddox had been in love with the original forever, but he never told him his feelings.
When he started dating Naethan, he saw he was being manipulated but said nothing. While he was being used, he was thinking of a way to kill him. Not killing Naethan, but the original.
To him, if the person he loves doesn't care for him back, he shouldn't live. The problem is that with the society they lived in, he couldn't get away with murder, but after the apocalypse, he could. So, when Naethan came to see him with his plan, he accepted.
