"Archie where are you? Why are you not here when I wake up?" David ask Archie on the phone.
"I just return about 3 hours earlier to take some rest after restoring cities of 3 countries. You are fine anyway, I always check your condition from time to time so I know that you will wake up in a good condition." Archie said as he wake up in his bed.
He was actually sleeping and just woken up by the call.
David on the other hand was quite frustrated. Archie acts the way the he did not expect. David thinks that Archie would be extremely concern about him and would stay by his side till he wakes up but to his disappointment, it didn't happen.
"Come to where I am, don't ask question." David simply said to the phone showing a displease tone. Everything is up to Archie now on how he interpret his actions.
Archie on the other side was wondering why David sounded like that. He has no idea to what he did. He visits David when he is asleep for 3 days, so he didn't think that it was the reason.
He is probably in a bad mood due to other reason.
Archie immediately change his clothes and use magic to detect David's presence. Archie notice that he is in a place full of various life energy indicating that he is not in their house but instead somewhere with a crowd of people.
Archie was hesitant to use magic or not in coming there but his worries where wash away when David texted him to just use his magic.
Archie didn't hesitate and rip the space open, revealing a place that is illuminated by disco lights and David with some other people on which 2 of them are people he was close with.
"Bitch?" Archie ask to one of the female who was holding a ice rabbit that has similar mana wavelength to David.
Archie move inside and close the space rift.
"Bitch?" The female one responded.
"Archie? How? Aw yeah I remember." The guy beside the the female said.
"Vicky, Jeric? Long time no see!" Archie happily jump of and hug Vicky. While everyone was just watching them.
"Why are you here? Are you the one that David called? You become a big shot now. I remember before that you were just a cry baby who doesn't even want to return here in Davao."
"Yeah, things happened and I suddenly move on to Charlie. Why are you here? Do you know David?" Archie asks.
"He is Jericho's friend. We came here to get together as well as ask David's opinion about Mike's mother sudden awakening this morning."
Vicky pointed Mike with her eyes which Archie followed immediately.
Archie saw a handsome American looks with natural blond hair and blue eyes. His body was just as ripped as David but he has someone beside him.
David notice it Archie's eyes and he become more irritable. He forgot that Archie likes the looks of Mike.
"Ehmm..." David get Archie's attention and Archie look at him.
David just raise his eye brows and Archie immediately become uncomfortable.
"I'll talk to David first." Archie said and move to where David is.
"Why did you bring me here?" Archie ask.
David put his arm on Archie's shoulder and pull his cheek.
"Why are you not there when I wake up?" He asks.
Everyone who saw it was wondering why David was acting like that to Archie but they still still haven't concluded that the two was in a special relationship.
"Aww.. Stop pulling my cheeks. I was really sleeping ok? My magic will only tell me when you wake up when I was awake as well. Sorry ok?"
David look at Archie's struggling reaction. He was quite cute and his heart melted. He unconsciously stop pulling his cheeks. All his pent up annoyance to Archie left his heart just by seeing him.
David realize immediately that what he feels right now is no longer a mere crush.
He continued looking at Archie who was currently massaging his right cheek.
"Your kinda mean to me. Why did you brought me here by the way?"
David laid his back down and pull Archie in his arm. Archie tried to remove it but he only strengthen his hold over Archie.
His friends immediately understand what David's action meant but their girlfriends still didn't understand what's going on. Even though they already saw the two on the video clips being like this together, they only thought that nothing special is happening between the two aside from being close. Especially Vicky, Vicky who was a childhood playmate of Archie, knows that Archie always attracts guys to him and have them act in similar way to David despite not being in a relationship.
"Is there something that you like to share to us David?" Mike ask.
Archie's body froze up, he didn't expect such a question to be brought up. He look at David but David look up straight to Mike.
"Yeah, I want you to know that I am dating Archie." David revealed which makes Archie panic.
He don't want to know their response. He just wanna get out. Archie is very confuse right now and he didn't know what to do. He want to teleport but David tighten his grip on him, reassuring him that everything will be fine.
"Bro, what a good catch!" Mike smiled happily and clap.
The others where also happy and followed Mike. They even tap his back.
"Just to make things clear. I am not gay, I just like Archie. I don't mind being called as bisexual." David said.
"Yeah yeah bro, it's fine. Archie is a good catch, I can understand why you like him."Martine replied.
Suddenly Vicky approach Archie and pull him out. She then ask what happened, and why is he dating Charlie's brother.
Archie told her everything and while the boys are teasing David.
"You're a whore" Vicky simply replied to Archie upon hearing his story.
"I learn from a great teacher." He replied.
"Hey I'm not like you, I'm a holy person."
"A holy hoe?"
Vicky was about to rebut but suddenly Mike called Archie's attention.
"Archie come here." He said.
Archie take a glance at David, David simply nod at him.
Archie approach Mike and the guy smiled at him at patted his head.
"Take care of David ok? Don't leave him behind, his feelings towards you are for real, don't doubt it." Mike said to him.
Unbeknown to Archie, the boys have their own code of telling each other if they are serious to someone or not. It's simply by properly introducing someone to them as their date or girlfriend. If the boys ask about the person that they brought and the other only introduces its name it means that their relationship is not serious.
Archie shyly nodded at him.
"Please don't share it to public, I just want our current status to be private as possible." Archie requested and Mike nodded.
"Don't worry, we are not that type of people." Mike responded.
"Ok come here Archie that's enough." David who doesn't like seeing Archie enjoying Mike's company reacted and pull him over to his side.
"Chill bro, anyways Archie, I have something important to ask you."
Everyone take their seats, parring to their partners. The shot glass rotate to Jericho.
"What is it? Is it related to the awakening of your mother? What seems to be the problem on her awakening? In our family and David as well, we celebrated our awakening. We didn't see any reason not to." Archie said.
"No, the awakening is not the problem. Since you are the strongest Hunter here in the Philippines as well as your opinion is being recommended by David, I wanna know what you can say about my issue."
Mike take his turn and drink his shares in alcohol.
"My mother is already in her 50's and she has been awakened with assassin role early this morning. She claimed that her current physical constitution was comparable to what she felt when she was in her late 30's to early 40's. David said that it's normal but I still wanna know what you can say about it."
"You see, every awaken learn not only using skills but circulating mana as well. If your mother manage to feel young after circulating her mana, I'm definitely sure that it's because she is a high ranking one. There is nothing that you should be worry about. Just bring her to the Hunter Association to be ranked and registered that's all. If something happened to her just contact me through David, But I really doubt that there's a need for that. As long as she continue to circulate her mana, you have nothing to worry about her."
"Thank you, I'll expect your help when something happens to my mother."
"Sure don't worry, what's with this karaoke? Can I sing?" Archie ask.
