Their car ride was silent, filled with awkward stares and failed attempts from Lun to cheer them up, break the ice a little bit. The truth was that the three of them being literally glued to each other on the back seats did not help at all. John who was sitting in the middle was staring right ahead, ready to have a panic attack, his thoughts going wild while Soran and Kai were looking outside their respective windows, their muscles tensed, one looking really angry while the other was deep in thought, his eyes a storm of confusion and unwanted feelings.
"We obviously can't go back to the mansion. A bunch of my people are dead too. I think a hotel is the best solution." Lun said but he got no answer from anyone. He sighed and turned the wheel, changing his route. "I guess I will be the decision maker today" he told himself and drove to a nearby hotel, making sure they were far enough from Mikain's pack. They were probably awake by now, it was almost noon and they would be angry. It would be better to stay in a place filled with humans where they wouldn't break the rules so easily. At least that's what he hoped.
"Mother won't be pleased. About this failure. We should have killed them." Xan said out of the blue and Kai scoffed.
"Fuck mother." He said and Lun tried to keep in a chuckle.
"Oh that sounds so wrong in so many ways." He commented and Xan shot him a nasty stare. "Oh come on now honey you know I wouldn't insult your mother dearest." The man said and Xan shook his head, fed up with that carefree attitude of his.
The car stopped, Lun parking very awkwardly at the side of an alley, his car getting on top of the small sidewalk. Xan walked out first, looking at the place Lun had decided they would spend the night. He frowned as he pushed his glasses back, all of them looking at the brick building by now.
"This is not proper accommodation" he said.
"Why not?" The vampire asked, pretending not to know what he meant.
"Because it's not a hotel, Bloodbound has better inns than this. What the hell is this?" Xan asked and it was Soran who answered him.
"It's a motel and it's perfectly fine. I just want to get some sleep, I'll be getting a single room." He said and rushed inside not wanting to talk to anyone. Kai's eyes widened, the prince attempted to follow him but Lun grabbed him, stopping him.
"We need to talk." He told his best friend. Kai looked at the white haired man, grabbing the key the receptionist gave him and hopping up the stairs. He sighed, disappointed that he couldn't talk to him.
"You're right. We need to put an end to this."
"We sure do" Xan said with a devilish grin. "How many groups are after you now? Two...oh no my mistake, it's three" his brother said.
"Fuck you" Kai groaned.
John had watched Soran disappear, his heart trembling like a sick child as he feared he was going to get hated. He watched Kai and his brother, bickering outside the motel and gulped, trying to free himself from the lump that was forming on his throat. He couldn't let him walk out like that. He had to talk to him.
Silently, knowing that everyone else was distracted he entered the motel. The receptionist didn't even bother to ask him where he was going as he got up the stairs, she was too preoccupied with her Instagram page. As John reached the first floor he looked around, many doors with worn out numbers, a lower version of Moonshine's hotel. It gave him the creeps, goosebumps crawling on his skin. Every time he stepped there something bad happened.
He sniffed the air, feeling like a dog for a moment and frowned, kind of turned off by himself. He looked like a crazy man, a crazy man who instantly spotted Soran's scent.
He went up two more floors and knocked on the first door to his right, waiting for a little bit for the man to open.
Soran soon appeared and he stared at him with a dissatisfied expression, making John pick at the skin in the sides of his nails.
"What is it?" Soran asked, his voice sharp.
"I...Can..can we talk? About what happened?" He asked them man. The vampire sighed and for a second John thought that he would slam the door in his face. He didn't though, he moved to the side, allowing him to step in.
He examined the small room, a double bed that was too close to the side of the wall with fresh light blue sheets. A tv, an old model John had even forgotten existed and a round table with just one chair. Another door to the side that probably led to the bathroom. This could not compare with Moonshine or Lun's mansion. It was a downgrade but actually just two years ago John would have begged for a room like that, he would prefer anything rather than living on the streets.
"Are you going to speak or what?" Soran asked him and walked towards the bed. He sat on the edge, observing John as he fidgeted, anxious.
"I'm sorry."
"You're sorry for what?"
"That you had to see that."
"So you're not sorry about what you did but because I saw you do it?" The vampire asked him, his handsome face filled with annoyance.
"I...I didn't know what had gotten into me. Kai warned me many times, he was going to jump in but you came. I just felt so angry. That kid, he is the reason I got tortured, I got beaten up and almost lost my life. You may see him as a kid but in my eyes, he is someone who tried to kill me. I know you believed me to be a nice guy, innocent and all but at that moment, I couldn't be what you wanted and for that...I am sorry." John blurted out, trying not to expose his feelings.
Soran didn't say anything for the next few seconds, he seemed as if he was processing what John had told him.
"Listen" Soran said. "Once you take a life, it's over. The burden you will have to bear, the pain you'll go through. I don't care about that kid, yeah, he is obviously a bastard but...I just didn't want you to get hurt. I was so mad because I wanted to protect you from making such a big mistake. That's all." Soran explained.
John stared at him, stunned and drowning in crushing waves of confusion. He did it for him. That's what Soran has said, so...so he didn't hate him. His heart was beating so loudly, his mind overwhelmed by the possibility of being thrown away. No it had changed, the rushing heartbeat was steady, still racing but he was flushed and blinking, looking like a surprised deer. Soran couldn't help but smile. As he watched his soothing smile John felt like the world was put into place, and his eyes watered.
"Why are you crying?" Soran asked as he stood up, rushing to him. There was selflessness in his voice, he simply was so kind and everything he did made him feel like crying. He felt like a child before him.
"I thought you'd hate me. I thought you'd throw me away, like they did" he cried, aggressively wiping his eyes. "Boss too, if I don't behave he…"
"No." Soran said strictly and removed John's hands from his face. He cupped his cheeks, his palm spreading an icy cold feeling on his body. "Kai would never leave you. He treasures the ones that are close to him. He is selfish and spoiled, you will see that later on but he is not bad nor mean. So don't worry. As for me. John, you're a wonderful person, honestly I wish I had met you sooner. You're nice and funny in your own clumsy way. I wouldn't hate you. I don't think I could" the vampire said and John felt like he would have a heart attack.
"Soran, I...I like you." The werewolf blurted out without thinking.
"I like you too" Soran said, patting his head. "You're a nice kid"
Kid. He had just called him a kid, John realized. He didn't mean like in that way, he had gotten it all wrong but what good would come if he corrected him. He forced a smile, his tears lessening with much courage and Soran smiled back.
"Thank you." John said.
This was his first heartbreak and it hurt. It hurt so much he wanted to crawl into one of those small corners and simply cry, become one with the wall and disappear. He hid that though, this excruciating pain of a love rejecting you. He closed his eyes as he walked out, taking a deep breath.
"You are a kid after all." He told himself as new tears trailed paths on his cheeks.
Not being loved back, hurt.
