Alev looked up at Hiro. "Hiro, he was trying to find his verse of destruction. Something that would not only kill his physical form, but every piece of him. Meaning, he would've been wiped from existence on all planes and dimensions. He would not exist!"
"…" Hiro was already beating himself up about it. He just wanted to curl up a disappear. "I shouldn't have screamed…I shouldn't even be near him…All I did was hurt him."
Alev groaned and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "What's done is done. He's alive. We should be grateful for that." She sighed. "Hiro, you're not bad for him. If Seth chose you for a mate, it means he's devoted to you. Don't ask me why. But don't give up on him please. He needs someone to love him and for him to love back. Just… give him the attention and love he needs. He's already been through too much as a defective demon."
"I highly doubt he's Defected…Just different…" He sighs. "…I just don't want him getting hurt…" He check the door as a habit he has.
Alev sighed softly. "He's defective in the terms of a demon. I'm much the same way but my emotions don't heavily control me the way his do." Then the door opened and Seth hopped into the room again, with another human trailing behind. Alev looked up. Seth handed her her Sprite and flopped on the couch again, handing Hiro a Dr. Pepper. "Sorry I was gone so long. I met Gerald coming up the stairs, and we got to talking." Alev smiled at Gerald. "Hello sweetheart. Is everything ok? Who's watching the baby?" Gerald smiled back. "Old Nancy. You know she's been begging to watch her ever since she was born." The couple chuckled.
Hiro hugged him tightly not letting go anytime soon. "…"
Seth looked at Hiro in confusion but snuggled closer nonetheless. "Something the matter?" he asked, stroking Hiro's hair. Gerald turned and looked at Hiro. "Oh ho! So the squirt finally got himself a mate eh? 'Bout time. My name's Gerald." he greeted Hiro. "What's yours?"
"Hiro…And I-I'm fine." He looked at the man than to Seth.
Seth gestured to Gerald. "Alev's mate and husband."
Seth tilted his head and nuzzled into Hiro's neck. "You sure you're ok Cupcake?"
He nods. "Nice to meet you…" He continued to hug seth tightly.
Seth was worried. Hiro didn't generally act like this. Did something happen while he had been gone? Alev stood up and draped herself into Gerald's arms, and cooed, "Sweetheart…" Gerald grinned at her. Seth ignored this and kept giving Hiro a worried look. Alev looked at Seth. "I got your profiles updated, little man." Then she turned to Hiro. "If you want to move soon, me and Gerald would be willing to help. Seth has my number."
"…" Looks at Seth. "What do you want to do?" He didn't want to make any Irrational choices. Especially about things like this.
Seth hummed. "Well, moving is the smart option, but it's up to you what you want to do. I'll follow you anywhere." He smiled at his mate.
"…Maybe soon but not now…" He smiles back. He pets his head and sighs. "We should get home." He states. "You need food."
Seth didn't need it, but he felt that Hiro needed to go. He purred at the pet and then pulled Hiro up from the couch. "Ok." Alev waved. "By the way Seth, you're 22 now. Have fun!"
Hiro held Seth's hand. "L-Let's go. And thanks for the help." He bows slightly as thanks. He smiles at Seth. "Ready?"
Seth squeezed Hiro's hand gently and smiled back. "Yep!" He waves a little to Alev and Gerald. "See you again!" Gerald held up a hand. "Later. Maybe we can schedule a double date sometime!" Seth looked down with a blush and tugged Hiro out the door, holding their sodas against his chest.
Hiro just walked out with his face bright red. "W-Was he serious?" He looked at Seth who had the drink. He looked back at the door then sighs.
Seth laughed. "Knowing Gerald, he definitely was." He handed Hiro his soda and cracked open his own coke. After taking a deep drink, he licked his lips and said, "Yum. Chemicals." He shot a grin at Hiro. "So, you wanna head back home then? Or are you up for something else?"
"Did you know that cokes were originally made with cocaine?" He said randomly. "They changed the compound so now the taste is way different."
Seth grinned. "Yeah. I drank it back when it was first invented. It's sooooo much different now. Better and worse at the same time."
He laughs. "So my little demon used to do drugs huh?" He poked him. Saying the word demon made him think of the names he was called when he was younger. But didn't care anymore.
Seth stuck his tongue out. "Ah, you don't know half of it."
"I didn't know I was mated to a druggie." He sticks his out too.
Seth reached out and grabbed Hiro's shirt, pulling him closer. He kissed his cheek and grinned, noses touching. "And I'm mated to teacher. I think we're even."
"What's wrong with a teacher?" He questions. "Is it because of the random facts I might say?"
Seth smiled and kissed him. "Nah. I'm just joking." He hugged him. "I love you…"
"I love you too" He hugged him back. He decided to pick Seth up and carry him bridal style. "This is better~" He teased.
Seth squeaked and hid behind his hands, blushing furiously. "St-stop it, it's embarrassing!" It was clear he liked it though.
