Arc 2.7

Tai looks at Alaric who is currently ordering him some ice cream. Why does Alaric remind him of June? They don't have the exact same personality but he feels like June. It's impossible for him to be, June!

[Not impossible when you go to different worlds a lot of time has passed. Which means that Alaric might be a reincarnation of June. As souls are never destroyed but are reborn and their memories wiped. However, the chances of running into him again are 0.00001%.]

Is that June is there any way to find out? Tai asks in his head curious if this is June.

[Analysis undergoing...Checking..... Database... Analysis completed. User request accepted the soul is the same soul. User is correct Alaric is June]

"Tai!" Alaric waves his hand in front of Tai.

"Sorry got stuck in my head for a bit" Tai answers a bit sheepishly. Alaric smiles and hands him the ice cream.

"No problem what were you thinking about?" Asks Alaric curiously. Tai looks at him a bit nervous.

"Oh, nothing important" Tai answers quickly. Alaric raises an eyebrow but doesn't ask again.

"So Tai when did you and Glen meet?" Asks Alaric a bit curious.

"My parents use to work under Glen's parents. So we used to live in their property so I and Glen met. We have been close ever since then" Tai says softly remembering the past of Tai.

"Amazing so you've known him so long! Did you ever have a crush on him" Alaric questions a bit?

"Never he is always a little brother to me. I care about him lots and I will die for him if needed" Tai answers truthfully. Alaric looks at Tai with a shocked look.

"Why?" Alaric couldn't help but ask.

"Because he is my little brother in all but blood" Tai answers with a smile. Alaric can only give a smile back.

"Alright! It would seem I have to protect you" Alaric exclaims.

"What?" Tai couldn't help but raise his voice a bit. Alaric just gives a giant smile as an answer.

Glen looks at the evidence left behind and is 80% sure it was that bitch who tried to hurt Tai! Sonya that little bitch dared to mess with his two loved ones! He looks at the case file that Savannah recently started. Sonya will soon be summoned to court.

"Collect more evidence against Sonya!" Glen orders angrily. He takes out his phone to text Travis and ask where he is at.

"Love I'm homeeeeee~~~~ I have news," Travis says joyously.

"Travis" Glen says in relief and goes to hug him.

"What's wrong?" Travis asks worriedly.

"A bomb was found under your car. I was so close to losing you! If you didn't go with Tai you'd be long gone" Glen explains in fear. Travis's eyes widen they tried to kill him?

"Who," Travis trembles. If he died what would happen to Glen?

"I'm 80% sure it's Sonya and she tried to make Tai the guilty party" Glen explains. Travis frowns and couldn't help but think it's a good plan. If it went as planned Glen wouldn't think much of it and just attack Tai. Thinking of him as the guilty party

"Tai would never he would die for you at any moment," Travis says. Glen nods in agreement Tai would never hurt him. He chose him over his own parents. Just cause of their promise of being brothers forever.

"So what is this news you brought up?" Glen asks once the two calmed down. Travis's whole face lights up.

"I think Tai is developing a crush on Alaric! When I asked him if he liked him he didn't completely say no. My gay radar is very strong and I'm 98% sure that he likes Alaric" Travis exclaims. Glen felt pure happiness when he heard. Maybe just maybe Alaric can make him go back to his old caring self. Instead of a complete frozen block who can only give chuckles and the occasional true smiles.

"Where is Tai now?" Asks Glen curiously.

"I ditched him at the mall once I saw Alaric. So according to my calculations, they should be hanging out" Travis replies with a mischievous smile.

"Well send him a message to try to get Tai to sleep over I want to make sure. Tai's home hasn't tampered with in any way. I also want to add more security. Explain the situation to him in-text" Glen says softly. Travis nods and quickly does it but to make sure that Alaric did his absolute best. He sent 'Alaric try to stop Tai from going home! Someone has tried to harm him! A bomb has been found. So please keep him safe until we search his home and update security to the max'

+++++++++++++

Alaric looked at his phone once Tai went to the bathroom. He read the message and his stomach dropped. Pure fear just filled him and looks towards the bathroom. He has to get Tai to come with him. He looks down again at the text message. He deletes it so Tai doesn't accidentally see it and causes him to have a panic attack.

"Alaric are you okay? You look very pale is there anything I can do to help?" Tai asks very awkwardly. Not knowing how to comfort the other.

"I..I...I... Tai will you stay with me today I just found out terrible news and don't want to be on my own" Alaric acts sadly. He has to get Tai to stay with him.

"I'll stay by your side if that makes you feel better" Tai immediately agrees to Alaric's request. Alaric celebrates in the inside that he accomplished his goal. They soon head to Alaric's home

Tai looks at Alaric and couldn't help but think how much of a coincidence that June ended up here? Well, he should move on quickly to the next world because he will grow to attach to June/Alaric. It'll be too painful to move on if it goes on like this.
