Arc 2.6

Tai enjoyed his week of no drama but the death of Travis is today. He needs to prevent it and make the heroine look bad! Maybe he can get her some jail time? Life in prison sounds great and an easy way to get the heroine killed. Tai's phone rang and when he saw who was on the other line he answered quickly.

"Tai I want to buy a gift for Glen for our anniversary. Do you know what he would like?" Asks Travis curiously. Tai smile drops when he hears this. He died when he went to buy his loved one a gift? Why do sad things happen to good people? Why is the heroine named the heroine when they do such things! They should be called the villains!

"How about I go pick you up and I can help you choose? I can't think of anything at the top of my head at the moment" Tai answers Travis. He will prevent Travis's death! No matter the cost the "heroine" will pay for her sins!

"Great idea this way I have a way to lie! I could say that you wanted help with something!" Travis joyously says.

"Hmm I'll be there in 20 minutes" responds Tai. He quickly drives to where Travis is. He first had to put on a disguise on or his fans will make it impossible for him to help Travis.

"You're here!" Travis exclaims as he waves in front of his home. Tai immediately lets him in the car.

"Yay I'm finally having bonding time with my boyfriend's best friend! Woohoo, I might get to know embarrassing things about Glen!" Travis continues mischievously.

"He had to sleep with a person or a stuffed animal until he was 15" Tai responds. Travis's eyes light up and turn to Tai.

"For real?" Asks Travis curiously if that's true.

"Yep, he had a cute white lamb with a bow tie" Tai confirms with a light smile. Travis smiles he did not know that.

"Tell me more!" Travis says excitedly.

"Let's see has he shown you his secret stash of trading cards? He likes to hide that from everyone including me until I stumbled upon them" Tai says. Travis's eyes widen Glen has a hobby?!

"For real? I thought he didn't have a hobby!" Travis says in shock.

"Yep, he is embarrassed about it and doesn't want to come off as nerdy" Tai chuckles. Travis smiles he likes hearing about Glen.

"How was he growing up?"Asks Travis curiously.

"Well sensitive and he cried a lot. Very kind but very shy when it came to others. He feared many things especially the dark" Tai says as he looks through the memories.

"Um, Tai?" Travis asks wondering if he should as what he wants to say.

"What is it?" Tai answers as he looks for parking.

"Do you like Alaric?" Travis questions softly. Tai freezes a bit he doesn't like Alaric right? He just finds him interesting as he reminded him of June. Alaric is a lot like June which just made him feel attached?

"I don't think so? I haven't known him that long?" Tai answers unsure of what he feels. He finally found a parking spot and parks.

"Hmm, he is a good man Tai. And he is very handsome you two would make a wonderful couple!" Travis says cheerfully. He is glad that Tai is finding love. Even if he is unsure but his gay ass is telling him that Tai does like Alaric.

"hm it might be so" Tai just says as he gets off. Travis follows with a sneaky smile. His secondary mission from now on is to get Tai and Alaric together.

[I have deactivated the bomb and sent an anonymous tip to Glen about it. He should be calling soon once he confirms it]

×××××××××××××××××××××

Glen looks at his men as they take out a bomb from under the car. They wanted to kill Travis! He takes out his phone and calls Travis.

"Travis where are you?" Glen asks anxiously once Travis answers.

"With Tai shopping! He needs some help understanding more of his role. So he picked me up and we shopping. Since his character, he is playing is first very social" Travis says cheerfully.

"Ohh ok once you're done can you come over? I have something to tell" Glen says softly. Travis hums in agreement.

"Alright love you" Travis answers.

"Love you too Travis see ya later," Glen says before he hangs up.

"Sir we checked the security cameras the one who placed the bomb is definitely someone who is slim and most probably female but we can't be sure 100 percent. We also found this which seems to belong to Mr. Tai but why would he set this up?" The guard asks confused.

"This was a set up to make it seem like Tai was the killer. However, their plan backfired when Tai came to ask Travis for a favor. Tai protected me once again this time not knowing he did" Glen says softly he looks up to the sky. When can I finally repay your kindness?

×××××××××××××

Tai and Travis finally found this rare trading card which is one of a kind. Being the only one made in existence. A card that every card collector hopes to have. It's being sold for 200k and Travis, of course, bought once they confirmed it was real. The two walked around more and bought a couple of things. Travis saw in the corner of his eyes. Alaric who is in a disguise. Travis already knows most of his disguises thanks to his skills.

"Hey, Tai, I have to go to Glen now! He wanted to meet me at his home. I'm calling a driver to drop me off" Travis says with a smile.

"Alright I'll take you outside," Tai says but Travis shakes his head.

"I'm quite alright! By the way, you should buy yourself new clothing! Your cloth is so last season" Travis orders before he runs off. Tai tilts his head a bit confused why Travis wants him to stay longer in the mall. That's until someone hugs him from behind.

"Guess who?" Whispers a voice.

"Alaric? Would be the only one with the guts to do this" Tai answers softly. Alaric let's go of Tai and gives a giant smile.

"I'm glad I'm the only one" Alaric chuckles and looks up and down.

"Your disguise is good I almost didn't recognize you!" Alaric continues.

"Thanks, I barely recognized yours!" Tai answers a bit flustered. Alaric smiles and puts his arm around Tai.

"Let's hang out today?" Alaric asks Tai. Tai nods once the system said that there is no danger to Travis and Glen.
