POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 202: Run off where?

"Huh?" Zenith’s sudden unexpected question left Kylian awestruck for a brief moment, while gawking at him still, he sounded too amazed to believe him, "What did you say?"

"Well...not even in a million years I had ever imagined myself to be asking someone to run away with me, sweetheart. It all still feels dreamy to me...but I think I have found the one with whom I won’t mind running away someday..."

Zenith exhaled a sigh with a relaxed wide grin across his face, while his dark mysterious eyes were locked on his ocean gaze when he repeated after him in an amicable voice, "That’s why, I wanted to be reassured, if...someday...certain situation arises in our life...would you run away with me, babe?"

"Did you eat something strange in the forest when you ran off on your own...or did you hurt your head somewhere to spout such nonsense?" Still unable to process his bewilderment, Kylian sounded quite baffled from his tone, and even placed the back of his palm on Zenith’s forehead to check his temperature, "Or maybe...you’re feeling sick?"

"Is it that surprising to hear it from me?" But Kylian’s gestures which also hinted at a sincere concern for him made Zenith curve a small smile when he grabbed his palm which was resting on his forehead. Placing a soft kiss on his knuckle, he conversed, "I am completely serious, and it wasn’t something I said on a whim."

"Why would you even think about running away with a nobody like me when you’re the son of the VIP of this country? You must have gone really nuts to even think of something like that—"

"You’re not just a nobody to me, Kyle. You comprise my entire world...and that’s why...you’re the only one whom I could ask something like this."

Intervening Kylian’s confused murmur, Zenith’s assertive voice made his porcelain white cheeks redden with a flustered hue. Just aligning a few simple words together, Zenith had the superpower to make Kylian blush like an innocent maiden in love most of the time, which somehow always made him feel a little submissive.

Even though he was feeling quite shy, Kylian still tried to hold onto a stoic expression when he urged back, "Well, let’s suppose we do run off somewhere far and distant, but how are you supposed to survive there? You belong to a rich household as the young master who always had the luxury of life in the palm of his hand whenever he pleased...so leaving that exquisite life behind, would you be able to hold onto it?"

"Hmm..." Logically pondering about the questions Kylian asked him back, Zenith frowned his brows and stared at the thatched roof above them for a brief moment, while making a serious expression, "You’re kind of correct, babe. Since growing up...I have never experienced poverty like the commoners of the society, so...it will be quite hard to survive on our own. But...I still believe as long as you’re with me, I have nothing to be afraid of."

"Pfft!" Hearing his answer made Kylian toss a small snort, which sounded a little sarcastic. However, his ocean eyes looked a bit glum than earlier when he mumbled in a deep voice, "Well, that’s the thing where the difference of our world lies in between.

"While growing up you had experienced a void of loneliness in your heart, but I didn’t experience it...instead, I had to grow up in an environment where I had witnessed by mother working up to her bone every day without a break, just so that we could fight that damn poverty for at least one more day. When I was just a toddler, she would often skip meals and give me her portions of food just so that I wouldn’t have to sleep with a hungry stomach.

"But when I grew up a little and became more conscious about my surroundings, sometimes I saw Mom would wake up in the middle of the night and drink a few liters of water. At first, I didn’t realize why was she doing that, until I found out it was one of her methods to tone down her stomach rumbling since she used to starve most of the days in a week. We did not have enough money to provide for both of us...so...yeah, I had also pushed myself quite a bit too much since an early age, only so that one day...we don’t need to live in poverty anymore..."

While Kylian was mumbling about his sad past, his voice grew a little heavier while he was doing his best to suppress the tears inside. But Zenith could evidently sense his growing mixed emotions, as he patted on his back to comfort Kylian a little.

Just with a few soft pats from him, Kylian felt a lot of strength mustering inside him, since now...his heart was aware...that pitiful downtrodden emotions that used to consume him entirely at the back of the day wouldn’t haunt him much...since he had one more person by his side who was willing to share his painful burdens together with him.

It gave him a lot of courage, as Kylian tossed a soft sad smile while holding Zenith’s other arm, "Since I am quite experienced already about how shitty it feels to live in poverty...I wouldn’t want to go through that phase once again. That was the reason, I had to give you a reality check, Zenith...because this is a real world we are talking about..." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"You were right in your point, but...maybe someday...if life becomes too hard to tackle with, I would still stick to my choice of running away with you somewhere far. Trust me, babe. I won’t regret my choice...at least not with you."

Honestly Kylian had expected hearing about a part of his sad past would make Zenith immediately back off his decision, since he had always seen him acting like a spoiled rich brat who didn’t have any idea about the lives of poor needy people out there.

But still hearing him stick to his decision made Kylian feel curious enough to ponder, why was he considering that choice in first place.

For a second, Kylian wondered if Zenith had a premonition about something wrong that was about to happen in their lives for sticking to such a tough choice of life. Kylian’s face turned a little glum when he wanted to ask him, but rather thought it would be better if Zenith would willingly want to share his thoughts with him, just like what he had intended to do.

"Well...fine...let’s say we decide to run away together...but...where will we go?" Inhaling a deep breath to suppress those curious feelings growing inside him, when Kylian asked him in a rather soft voice, it made Zenith answered with excitement.

"We can run off to the mountains and build a small wooden house there. Of course, I will do every work and will make sure to take care of you really well. Or...I have another option—"

"And from where will we get the woods? Do you even know how to use an axe to cut off a tree?" Watching him blabber with his childish excitement made Kylian curve a soft simper, while he admired Zenith’s face while staring at him.

"Umm," a bit amazed by Kylian’s sharp observation, Zenith awkwardly lit with a smile when he muttered, "Back here when I was in high school, I used to carry a small but sharp axe with me, wondering if it would come handy to cut off someone’s head if they dare to mess with me. But sadly that situation never rose, since I was always the strongest among all ad nobody dared to mess with me as they were afraid for their lives."

’That’s not something to be proud about! Damn...what kind of violent thug life he has led until now?’ Baffled by his boastful answer, Kylian exhaled a big sigh as the thought echoed in his head.

But without paying much attention to Kylain sighing, Zenith continued his prattle with assertive confidence, "But I don’t need an axe to cut down a tree, babe. I am super strong, so I can easily smash any giant tree or two with my punch and they would be smashed on their own. Don’t underestimate the power of your strong Alpha husband..."

Sounding quite in a jovial mood, Zenith gently rubbed his chin on Kylian’s head resting in his embrace, as his actions depicted he was quite proud of his answer.

But it also gave Kylian the reality check that if a certain situation arose and they really had to run off somewhere far, Zenith would definitely not be able to survive in this harsh world with his delusional tactics, since he was completely lacking any basic experience.

But finding it necessary to make him understand a bit more, a heavy sigh fell off him when Kylian continued with his interrogations. "Fine...let’s say, I will help you use the axe to chop wood. But after that, how would you build the house? Also, will you be able to cut down the forest to build our home?"
