"Wow..." Ace's friends mouthed their awe when they entered Blaze's apartment. They still can't get over the elegance of the entire place.
Before they went to follow Blaze, they went to Lam's place to get their materials and leave their bikes before they went altogether to Blaze's place riding Ace's new vehicle. They have also brought some overnight clothes in case they will be too tired to go home later.
Blaze had already taken his shower when they arrived and they instantly became quiet when Blaze went out of his room.
"You can talk, I don't bark and definitely won't bite you if you will talk" Blaze said with his serious tone when they were very quiet in one corner
Ace and his friends instantly become quiet when the door of Blaze's room opens and he goes out. "You are not finished yet?" Blaze asked with his eyes directed to Ace. "We have only finished half of it, we will just continue tomorrow after class again" Ace softly explained while he looked up to Blaze who stood behind him and draped his arms around his neck. "Then have some rest now. You all can use the other room, it has a wide bed and there's a huge couch" Blaze turned to Ace's friends to tell them. "I will just choose breakfast and dinner for tomorrow or do you have other preferences?" Blaze continued to ask casually but Ace's friends became speechless while they gaped at Blaze in awe.
"You are not, we know the truth. We will talk to auntie and uncle, we will explain to them" Lam exclaimed with his assuring and serious tone. Engineering students, especially males, started to gather around where Ace and his friends were seated, even if they all maintained their distance. Obviously, everyone is already scattered around the area ready to take orders, since all the gang leaders from freshmen to the fifth year are all present with their respective members. Turner looked around and realized that the crowd had already gathered and recognized all their men. Even those from different faculties are already at the far side of the field. Turner just nodded as an acknowledgment to all
Ace gaped at Blaze while trying to understand what he just meant but Blaze seemed to have no plans to explain. They are only interrupted when Paul spoke again. "I need your cooperation so we could exit the campus without being followed" Paul seriously said while he looked at Ace before he alternately looked at his friends. Ace nodded for Paul to go on, whatever Paul's role in this, he seemed to be in control at of the moment. "Our men are silently securing the east wing exit where we will go out quietly. The black panther will exit at the west wing so put all your men there for diversion" Paul looked directly at Ace who was also intently staring and listening to him. Ace turned to Lam
"It's not in our intention to insult your family, Mr. Anderson, the car was given in good faith and whatever the car cost doesn't matter as long as it served its purpose to the owner. We just deemed that the car would be safer for Ace to drive when going to school" Lander tried to convince the triggered man. "Mr. Vaughn, we don't have millions to buy luxury in life, I taught my three children to strive and work harder if they want something luxurious in their lives because we cannot afford it as parents. I'm so sure that you already know even the smallest details about our family. So I assumed that you are all aware that even the bike that Ace has now is from his pocket, I can only afford the food that he eats, the bed that he slept in, and the university. Nothing more than that, so owning a million-dollar car would really create an uproar for everyone. It brought my family to a shame
Blaze continued to stare at Ace with his cold gaze while Ace is staring back with his cautious one. Silence ruled the whole house when Blaze remained so quiet with his cold gaze that even Ace's parents became speechless from the coldness that the pale boy was exuding. "I won't use the bike again..." Ace mumbled softly while he continued to stare at Blaze who was still staring coldly at him. "Ahm...you were sick Ace? When?" Maridel broke the silence and the staring battle of her son to the pale boy. She can sense something between her son and the youngest Vaughn but she can't just assume. "I had a fever just this weeke
"Blaze..." Ace seemed to have awakened as he scrambled on his feet to go after Blaze who was already outside the door. "Blaze please...please please no...." Ace ran and clung to Blaze's hand. As much as he wants to hug Blaze he is so afraid to touch him more than he can gamble to touch. Blaze just stopped walking and stared coldly at Ace who looked at him with frightened eyes. He no longer cared if he became vulnerable to Blaze's eyes, to everyone watching, but he needed to beg. "Blaze...please...please don't leave...let's talk" Ace softly begged but Blaze remained so quiet and coldly unconcerned. Their friends outside curiously gathered and watched the commotion. The four chipmunks a
Everyone is staring at Ace with their sympathetic and worried look while he is slumped on his knees behind Blaze who is still standing rigidly at the doorway Blaze started to walk with his bodyguards, Kit, and Paul, leaving Ace without even sparing him a glance. "I love you... I love you so much Blaze...even for this last time I can say it to you..." Ace smiled and muttered softly, tears streamed down his already wet cheeks. Blaze continued to walk slowly with his still unreadable and cold expression but everyone is so sure that he heard what Ace said. "I love you so much..." Ace continued with his bitter smile while he watched Blaze's back.
"Blaze...Ace will be a living dead without you. I'm a foolish father and I'm so ashamed to deserve him..." Fin smiled bitterly. "I'm asking for a chance Blaze, let's not make Ace choose, I made the wrong decision to have made him, please give this foolish man a chance" Fin's tears trickle down his face as he begged Blaze who remained so quiet. The prideful Fin Anderson is shedding tears for his son's love. "I... don't want him to turn his back on you, from his family. I don't want him to be a bad son and I don't plan to leave him, I'm just taking time to think of what I would do next. I can't give up Ace, but I can't fight you because I respect you so much" Blaze smiled warmly even if his eyes were already misty and red from the tears he was trying to suppress.
