"Why do you think about him all the time?" - Gedeon inquisitively asked one day his awakened friend.
Denris, getting out of bed, went to the big framed mirror, dressed himself in a long tunic of thick fabric and began combing his shoulder-length hair, tangled during the night.
"I can't stop thinking about what happened. Liorif continues to torment me mentally, dreams of me and demands that I return to him."
"I won't let him in, let him roll out of here," - Gedeon said flatly. - "I don't want you to suffer. Don't leave the tower. I think he will calm down soon."
"I can't resist him at all. Moreover, the Duke will again ask his mother about our meeting. He'll show up here, get on his knees, and start begging for a drink of my mana..."
"No, no, I won't let that happen, don't worry," - Gedeon assured him fervently. - "Ellamyria promised me not to let Liorif into the tower. And if you agree to become her husband like me, then he will not be able to demand even a reception from you."
"Is this your joke again? About marriage with the Queen Bee?"
"No, I'm serious. This status gives many rights."
"Then I agree."
"Great!" - Gedeon rejoiced. - "We will be one happy family. The triple union! That's awesome!"
"Do you like me so much that you're ready for that?"
"I've already said that I feel very comfortable with you and every day my affection for you intensifies."
"What? Confessions again? Do you forget, that I'm a guy?"
Denris froze in confusion in front of the mirror, anxiously peering into the reflection of Gedeon, who rustled excitedly:
"Your gender is not important to me. What do you think of me? What feelings do I evoke in you?"
"You are a hot, young handsome man with an orientation incomprehensible to me. You seem to be straight, but I don't see you in the company of women. You sleep in the same bed with me every night, you eat me with your eyes. It looks suspicious!"
"I volunteered to guard you and keep my promise. Why don't you date with girls? Invitations from princesses regularly arrive, right?
"I don't want any more. Already fed up! And I feel a deep emptiness inside!"
"Hah! Are you suddenly tired of women? After Liorif's hot embrace? Did you fall in love with him?"
Denris, widening his eyes in surprise, looked around.
"No-o-no... What kind of questions are these?"
"Could you love me?"
"Why are we having this conversation?"
Denris tried to restrain his mate a bit.
"I really like you… Den… There is nothing strange about that."
"I already had such a relationship... a long time ago in my youth..." - Denris admitted reluctantly. - "Constantly rejected him..."
"Is it true?" - Gedeon perked up. - "And who was he?"
"One mature man fell in love with me and courted me for a long time on my native planet. He kissed me and asked for more, I always refused, I considered it extremely wrong, then I was lured to a space station and sent without my knowing on an ark interstellar ship on a journey for forty years... and we never saw each other again."
"This is news! It's good that you confessed! So did you love him?"
"Attachment of course arose, he was too unusual person. Tall blond with foxy turquoise eyes. He told me a lot of strange things about us, our souls reincarnation and the universe. Where we lived together before… what we did… He called himself an Immortal… and me as well! Huh funny… he also was a gay. I can't deny he was handsome and charismatic comparing to others. He mostly ate my heart… I missed him."
Gedeon's face tightened slightly.
"Ow! That's completely change everything…" was a quiet note. - "So it's possible? And you could bonding to me as well? Moreover, I am also unusual for you, right? And handsome? Besides I'm sexy winged! You told that! You can try... with me."
"So you already have experience?" - Denris asked dumbfounded setting down on the bed. - "And I'm naive to stay with you in the same place ..."
Gedeon was embarrassed and lowered his eyes.
"Vampires are very persistent and will find a moment to possess you. Get this experience better with me than with Liorif. He's too big for you."
