Dymitri Villacroixe

I never felt this comfortable in my whole life. But, as soon as I turned to the side, I felt a bolt of pain into my shoulder and that made me me to open my eyes. As usual, my visions are all blur so I tried to touch the side until I felt a cold and hard thing standing beside. I'm pretty sure it was a drawer so I touched further until I touched something very familiar to me.

I immediately wore it and that made my visions to clear. I found myself in a king sized bed with black and red sheets and pillows. As I roamed my eyes around, I saw the Greek-like interior design of the room. I looked at my shoulder who is already wrapped in bandages.

"You're already up kiddo."My head snapped at the doors direction as Ace walked in. He closed the door behind and approached me.

"Is your shoulder okay?" I nodded even it still hurts a little. He sat beside me and eyed me.

"W-where am I?"

"You're in our headquarters." He simply replied.

"O-oh." It's the only thing I utter.

Soon, the door came open and Prince and the King came in. King looked me, still cold but eventually, I averted my gaze to Prince who's seems to be happy.

"Yo, feeling better now?" He ask walking towards us and what I did to Ace earlier is what I did too to Prince which is I nodded in response.

"What's in your hand? A love letter again?" Ace asked him nudging his head into the Prince's hand.

"Uh huh. Like the others. It came from the same person." He hissed waving the yellow envelop.

"S-sorry if I caused y-you trouble earlier." I lowered my head not only for the guilt but also for the embarrassment. My eyes began to feel burning as I held back my urge to cry.

"It's okay kiddo. You shouldn't be sorry." Ace comforted and rubbed my back and that triggered my tears to fall.

"Hey! Don't cry."

"I wanna go back." I said crawling out from the sheets but he stopped me.

"No kiddo, you need to rest. You still hurt."

"I-I'm fine. I wanna go back. Please." My voice broke as tears streamed down into my cheeks. I feel hard to breathe and that seems they noticed.

"Prince calmed him down, I'll call their head student to fetch him here." He said standing. He gave a look to the King and they made their way into the doorway.

As they finally went out, Prince and I was left behind. I am letting a set of small whimper of my cries.

"Hey, Dymitri?" My head snapped to the person beside me.

"Why the hell did you do that?"

"The w-what?" I said wiping away my snot with my sleeves.

"That heroic stunt you pulled out earlier. It was supposed to hit me but you shielded yourself." He said in a serious tone.

"That's not cool man. I'm already a man and I can handle that stuff. Fighting against the Betas are normal for us and what's the reason for my title as the Prince if I can't protect myself?"

"S-sorry." I cried even louder. I sobbed hard as I sat down, knees against my chest and I put my head above my knee.

"God. Stop that. I'm just telling you this so you can be aware."

"Sorry i-if I interfere with you." I felt his hand placed in my back then rubbed gently.

"Don't worry okay. Just next time, don't try to save me." I nodded in response, wiping my tears again.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMI?!" I heard a familiar voice coming from the outside and then, the door banged open. Revealing Sky, Ali, and Bridget.

"Demi!"

"S-sky!" I muttered. They cane beside me but as soon as they came, Prince stood up and walked to the door frame where King and Ace are already standing there.

"Are you okay? Is your body hurt? Tell me where it hurts?" Sky blurted out with concern. I just hugged him, feeling his warmness until I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me.

"There, there. Everything's gonna be alright Demi." He said in a very soft and gentle voice.

"Let's go, you have to rest." He added guiding me to stand up.

"Ali, can you heal his wounds and shoulder for me?" Sky asked Ali beside him.

Ali just nodded and he came forward to me. Lifting his hand, he began to emit white light. It's warmth and gentleness slowly crawled in my body, soothing the pain and wounds I received earlier.

"Done." Ali exclaim breaking a small smile of assurance.

"We should go. I'm starting to suffocate here." For the first time, I saw Sky rolled his eyes in annoyance and irritation.

"Tss, attitude." Ace mumbled but enough for us to hear.

"Shut the fuck up Exequile or I'll put you to a black hole forever." Sky spatted with anger began to rise.

"Woah, I never thought you can cuss now Sky."

"Well, being so soft and fragile sucks so I changed for the better. Being your ex helped me a lot." He retorted. I looked him up, I can feel the anger and, sadness in him. His eyes are starting to shake and I can sense that he will about to tear up soon.

Ex?

"Let's go guys, I don't want to be here anymore." Sky admitted snapping his fingers until the four of us disappeared.

We found ourselves inside my room. Sky escorted me to sit in my bed along with Sky while Bridget stood with Ali.

I glanced at the sitting Sky beside me. He looks angry, sad, and scared until a tear drop fell in his eyes.

"Sky." I called out. He immediately wiped his tear away but it went worse when tears streamed in his cheeks.

"Shit." He cussed out trying to brush away his tears but the fresh waters from his eyes won't stop from falling.

"Forget him Sky, he's a total dick!" Bridget confronted, slightly irritated.

"I'm trying Bridget, but I-I can't." He admitted sobbing softly.

For the first time and forever, I heard the soft and kind Sky to curse a word and then, this, Sky cried.

"I thought you already moved on?" This time, Ali is the one who spoke.

"I thought so, but, I c-couldn't."

"W-what's happening guys?" I blurted out in curiosity.

"Well, I think, me and Ali were not the right one to tell you this---"

"It's okay Bridget, Dymitri is one of us now and his very dear to me so I'll tell him." Sky cut Bridget's sentence and explained.

"Well, Exequile and I were lovers back then. I was in first year while he's second. I used to be bullied because I'm gay but he's there. He's known for being strong and powerful and he saved me many times." He began, wiping his tears.

"I accidentally fell for him and he did also the same. That day, we became lovers. He teach me to defend myself and to be strong too. We don't mind what people calls us or what they say to us. We're so happy back then until one day," his voice cracked, and a new wave of tears streamed down to his flawless cheeks. I looked at him concerned and worried so I rubbed his back as soft as I could to ease him.

"I-I caught him having sex with a random girl in his room, saying that he only played with my feelings and I'm so naive."

"I confronted him if he really loves me and he said he didn't, he only played me and my feelings because his bored and I'm weak. He played me like his toy."

Toy, that word gives me the chills whenever I heard that word.

"After that, I left with my broken heart. I thought he loved me but he doesn't." He continued.

"So, I pushed myself to move on and train harder to become stronger than him and look at me now, I'm the Head student of the Omega House, but, I still felt empty inside."

"He's my first and I wished and hope to be my last but I'm wrong. So wrong."

"Sky." I called wrapping my arms around him as he cried. He immediately wrapped his and sobbed into my chest. The two immediately came to us and hugged the both of us.

"Don't mind him Sky. He's a total dick for letting you go." Bridget comforted but still, there's a hint of irritation.

"We're here for you. And the Deltas too." Ali said.

The four of us stayed for a couple of minutes until Sky's cries faded. We just realized that it's already time for dinner and we decided to go to the cafeteria to fetch ourselves some food to dig in.

After heading our way to the cafeteria, Sky's eyes are still red and puffy. After he cried like that earlier, I've just realized that Sky is not only strong in the outside but also soft in the inside.

As we entered the hall, we immediately saw Aliza and the others in a table with full of foods. After sitting, Aliza and the others looked worried for our head student after seeing his eyes, swollen and puffy but he assured them that he's already fine.

After we ate, we are able to see Sky already smiling and that moved away the weights in our shoulders. In the end, we came back to our respective rooms and rest.

I texted Sky to rest and clear off his mind and only a couple of seconds passed until he texted me back that he's already fine. He thanked us for listening for his breakdown.

After that, I laid my head into my pillow, as I put my eyeglasses in the top of the drawer, I closed my eyes and derived myself into a deep slumber.
