MINE

It wasn't just the brunette who was suprised by this. Everyone in the store was shocked beyond measure, including the male staff,

"Silvia." Aiden called out to the brunette, his smile immediately dropping when their eyes met.

"Yes." She answered and gingerly made her way to where they both stood after keeping her expressions and emotions in check,

"I told you to pick out anything he stares at for more than a minute, or did you want me to repeat myself."

"Eh? N..no of course not, I'll do that right away..." silvia said, flustered and quickly followed kai behind who had already gone forth, doing exactly what she was told to do.

Was this boy really fine? The overcoats and turtle necks he picked out were fine, but he was also picking out brightly coloured pleated skirts, tank tops, and hoodies! The typical cute girl aesthetic? Even though he did look cute, this was going out of line...he was openly displaying his preferences without regard for the people uncomfortable with such displays in the society.

This boy was bad news. Judging from their display of affection earlier, he already had Aiden wrapped around his fingers... if he was gay, he shouldn't drag a straight guy into his weird world with him! He was even acting like a girl talking to her boyfriend earlier And he was also happily leaching off the guys money! Utterly disgusting...Silvia frowned.

Kai suddenly came to an abrupt stop and silvia who had been lost in her own thoughts bumped into his back causing him to wobble slightly because of his weak stamina before he quickly gained back his stance,

"Oh, sorry..." she said half heartedly while internally wishing that he'd actually fall over and perhaps break a nose on that pretty face of his.

Kai stared at his surrounding with an unreadable expression on his face,

"Lost..." he then muttered under his breath...

Lost? He was lost? Silvia scoffed, was he trying to say he had never been in a store before? How typical, faking ignorance just to receive affection.

"I know the way back, come on now." Said silvia not wanting to be around the hypocrite any longer than she already stayed.

Attempting to lead the way, she grabbed his wrist with a strong grip causing kai to flinch... being caught off guard by the sudden display of hate, Kai hissed fiercely and scratched her bare arm with his free hand so she would let go,

"Ahhh! What the f**k! Are you a f**king beast? Why would you do that?!" She yelled on top of her voice, dropping the pile of clothes in her hands and alarming everyone around her. When she looked up at Kai, he held onto his wrist while staring daggers at her... this only infuriated the brunette even more,

She looked down at her scraped arm and saw that she was slightly bleeding from the four aligned nail marks on her arm, did he have claws or something?!

"Ughhh! You m**ther f**ker!" She rose her other hand and was about to scratch him back with her newly manicured nails when her hand was stopped mid air by a stronger grip, "Ugh!" She groaned and turned to see who had stopped her from getting her revenge... it was Aiden, boring holes through her very soul with his narrowed gaze,

"Were you about to attack my guest?" He questioned despite knowing fully well what she was about to do.

Judging from the scratch on her arm, Aiden knew what occured... it bled but it wasn't at all deep so she would be fine. He knew something like this would happen and that was why he had warned her and everybody else not to touch him. Kai wasn't comfortable with other people and if they tried to touch him, he would feel threatened and attack them. But what he could not forgive was that she had tried to attack him back... Nobody was allowed to touch him and she wanted to attack.

"He... he attacked me! He said he was lost and I just wanted to help him get back to the waiting area-"

"Did you touch him?" He questioned in a deep voice that sent shivers through the brunette and his grip on her own wrist tightened,

"Ahh! Yes I grabbed his wrist!" Silvia yelled and tears stained her cheeks as she was unable to bear the pain any longer.

"I told you not to touch him."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I won't touch him again!" She slid to the ground as she wailed. Aiden let go of the womans wrist and stared down at her inferior being.

"What's happening in here?" With all the commotion and screaming, the manager had rushed out to see what was going on,

"Ah? Aiden?" The dark haired manager called out when he saw the boss' son

"Micheal," Aiden greeted when the other walked up to where they stood,

"It's nothing, she just bothered my guest a little but we've settled the misunderstanding." Said Aiden with a smile, the managers eyes moved from Aiden to the boy who stood there staring back at them with a face void of expressions.

He looked down at Silvias crying form. Knowing fully well not to anger the boy, Micheal decided to brush off the matter lightly without bothering to know who was in the right or wrong. He bowed his head slightly showing his deepest apologies to Aiden,

"Please forgive Silvia, you know she is fond of you so seeing you do something out of the ordinary like bringing someone shopping must have made her jealous--"

"Fond... of...Aiden?" The mermans soft voice interrupted and all eyes and attention turned to him, including Silvia. Micheal broke into a cold sweat when he noticed the boys demeanor change,

"Ah...y...yes, it was a misunderstanding, she'll get over her feelings--"

"She... like Aiden?" He moved his gaze to Aiden who rose a brow... honestly, he himself did not understand why Kai had that look on his face; as if he would murder someone the next minute...

Aiden wasn't even done thinking when Kai suddenly walked up to Olivias crying figure and squatted. He then took a chunk of the girls bronze coloured curls and pulled her head so she would look up at him,

Aidens mouth fell open and the managers face paled seeing the scene infront of him...this was a new side that even Aiden was yet to see,

"You... like Aiden?" Kai questioned again, staring at Silvia with their faces inches apart and Aiden finally understood what was going on with a merman... a wide smirk appeared on his face.

"No! I don't! Let go for me you f**king psych! What the hell is wrong with you--"

"SILVIA!" The manager interjected, not wanting to anger Aiden even more but when he turned to the boy, he noticed that he was... smiling?

The building was silent except for the silent sobs of woman who had her head being pulled by the merman.

"Kai, come here... let her go." Aiden said with a small smile and out stretched hands. Obediently, the boy let go of the womans hair and strode into Aidens embrace, burying his head into his chest. This stunned even the manager who had been staring at them ever since,

"We'll take everything on the floor, please package it and put it in my car. Sorry for the disturbance Micheal." Aiden bowed slightly and pivoted, making his way to the counter while still holding the merman close by his shoulder. That was when the manager and everyone else noticed the custom writing on the matching black hoodie Aiden had on,

'MINE' with an arrow pointing to his left, where the boy currently stood.
