Ash groaned as he stared at himself in the mirror in his bathroom. He couldn't believe it was really happening. He was wearing a white tank top that showed his well-built muscles and exposed his neck and collarbone. He was wearing a black skinny pants that was too tight to his liking, showing up his long legs and made his rounded ass stood up. The clothes was clinging to him like a second skin. And he didn't like it one bit. He released a heavy sigh as he decided to step out of his bathroom and faced Rose.
The moment he stepped out of the room he was met by a smirking Rose who was constantly nodding as if admiring her creation. 'You are his little creation now'. Ash mentally groaned.
"Damn, you're really hot brother! If I am gay I would take you right here right now." Rose purred as Ash rolled his eyes and his face blushed at her words.
"Quit teasing me! Now what?"
"Sit. I'll do your hair and I'll put some makeup on your face. You'll be the most gorgeous gay man on earth after my creation!"
"No way! I am not having a makeup on my face!" He tried to protest but Rose was having none of it.
"Big Brother! This is part of the plan for the operation so don't you dare object or else this operation will fail!"
"Rose. I still don't know what the hell is my part of this 'oh so mighty' operation. You guys didn't even explain the whole plan to me! How am I supposed to know you guys weren't just teasing me?"
"Excuses, excuses. Trust us brother, we already have the perfect plan on hand. The only thing that's lacking is your participation. Now, sit and don't argue!" Rose said as she grabbed his shoulders and forced him to sit down on the chair. Ash sighed in defeat and just let her do what she wanted, knowing full well she will have her way with him no matter what. Rose was grinning the whole time she did his hair and makeup. She had cut his bangs above his eyes. Ash instantly blushed understanding Rose attempt. With his bangs so short there was no way he could hide his vibrant brown eyes from anyone who stared at him.
After a few minutes of fixing his hair and doing his makeup Ash stood up and fixed himself.
"Here, wear this one brother. It will look good on you." Ash stared at the necklace and he took it with sadness written on his face. The necklace on his hand was the clockwork angel that belonged to Jess. This was the only thing they recovered from the incident three years ago.
Team decided to give the item to him as his bestfriend. He would have given it to his girlfriend but at the last minute he decided against it. He didn't want his relationship with girl to be ruined because of the constant reminder of what happened to their seniors, so he entrusted Ash to give the Clockwork great person to him. Ash hung the necklace to his neck when the door suddenly opened and there appeared his other three colleagues.
The four of them stood frozen as their eyes shifted back and forth between Ash and Seth. The room was filled with silence as they digested the information about what was going on."The Queen of the Shadow Clan? What the hell is going on, Ash?" Ash released a heavy sigh as he shared a knowing look with Seth. Seth nodded as he went into his room and grabbed his laptop."Okay, before we begin this, shall we all take a seat while Seth is gathering up his things?"The four of them stared at Ash in confusion before they nodded reluctantly and went to find an available seat. After a few minutes a pair of small, quick steps rushed downstairs. Seth came in as he sat on the chair near the table and set up his laptop. After sorting out the information he gathered he turned his laptop to the audience. Four sets of eyes stared at his laptop and widened their eyes as they recognized the symbol.The f
Five hours have passed since Ash let Rose and the group roam around the city. He walked to the kitchen room of the apartment they rented and poured himself a cup of black coffee to make his system more alert. He just woke up from his sleep. The moment Alexander left, he immediately went to the nearest bedroom. The breeze of hot, humid air was making him weak. At first he thought he would enjoy the cold air around Wausau, since the city is covered with hemi boreal forests, not to mention their location is near the great Wausau River. But then he was wrong, he forgot to check that the temperature around the city during May is rising fast to higher temperatures. And because the heat was weakening his body, combined with the exhaustion he feels on his mental and emotional state, he allowed himself to finally have some sleep.But he didn't regret it at all. It was the best five hour sleep he had in his life, considering the tough situation they're in. And now
"Afraid I might change my mind?" Ash said before he heard the door slam shut. Ash was about to stand and turn around to head for the bed when the door slightly opened once again and there revealed the figure of Alexander."Are you sure you aren't coming, darling? It's boring to be here all alone, you know. I assure you, you will enjoy touring around Wausau.""Thank you for being thoughtful, Alexander. But really, I am fine. I seriously just want to sleep today. I am tired and exhausted. Maybe some other time, if we will have one. I promise then I won't be a killjoy anymore and join the fun. It's just that right now—"Ash statement was interrupted when he suddenly felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him."I know. I know you're too stressed today, Ash. But please don't push yourself. You can share this burden with us, you know. We're all in this together. And your sister is right, you need to loosen up. This case takes a to
The next morning, everyone was busy as bees as they unpacked their things, setting up the tools and the information they gathered for their investigation."Ah! God I am dead tired! You know, we all deserve to have some break. We will not start commencing an operation until tonight. Why don't we gift ourselves with roaming around the place and enjoy it during the mean time? It would be a waste if we don't get to enjoy the beauty of Wausau." Rose whined as she sat on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh."No can do, Rose. I am sorry that your first case is nothing but a shitty one like this. But as soon as possible we need to stop the Balck Clan. By tonight, I want us to be fully prepared in case something will happen.""Ash I know how serious and critical our mission is. But can't we have some breath of fresh air? I think anytime soon I'll combust from suffocating on everything that's hanging around my head right now." Rose h
Thankfully, their seats were not too far from each other, they only need to turn around or tap on their colleague in the front row. The seating arrangement inside the train is composed of two columns, with an aisle of the center. 3 people can occupy per row on the right column while two people can occupy per row on the left. Since majority of them are already in a relationship, they chose the 2 person per row."Well, I doubt you both are still single. But for technicality purposes, let's say we get a 3 seat row because obviously, we already have couples in the group. Either of you wouldn't want to become a third wheel for the lovebirds, right?" Rose teased as she threw them a wicked smile when they were reserving their seats on the internet.Ash couldn't help but groan when of course, he is paired with Alexander in the seating arrangement, seeing as they're the only ones who are still "single"."Hey, how lo
Ash couldn't help but groan at the thought. He dropped his head in defeat when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead."Ouch!" Ash yelped as he massaged his forehead as it bumped into the front seat."Why so glum, plum?" Ash eyes widened as he heard the beautiful melody of Alexander silky voice. He lifted his head again and took in the exotic beauty of Alexander. He was wearing a white thin shirt with its three first buttons hanging open. It was so thin that Ash swore he could make out his lean torso. He wore black spiky pants that matched his spiky hair that was covered in silver glitter. All in all, Alexander was just as breathtaking as ever."Nothing. I guess I am just too stressed up nowadays." He said flustered as he could hear Alexander footsteps coming towards him. Not a minute later he was embraced with a warm pair of arms and a blush stained his cheeks when he felt a light damp around his forehead, signali
