Chapter 78: 76 | Be Gentle

"Why are you so pale? Do you have some kind of illness?" Sasha asked, pressing the back of her hand against Blue’s forehead.

"No, I’m fine. That’s just my natural skin tone." Blue said, gently pushing away Sasha’s hand.

Easton placed his hand around Blue’s wrist and said, "You’re really so thin. Don’t you cook for him?" Easton directed the second half of his sentence to Winter.

Winter only shrugged in response.

"Don’t mind this son of mine. I’ll send one of my chefs to you. We need to get you fattened up. What if the wind carries you away this season?" Sasha said with a sympathetic tone.

Blue opened his mouth to say something but closed it without any words coming out. He didn’t even know what to say. What sort of strange people were these??

"Blue, tell us, do you really like Winter? I heard a rumor that you hate Alphas. Do you like them now? Do you like our Winter now?" Easton pressed, scooching closer to Blue.

Blue suddenly felt like he was trapped so his next words came out scattered.

"I don’t know? I... I guess. Winter is okay?"

Sasha and Easton didn’t have impressed looks on their faces after hearing those words. Blue felt like he had done wrong. He knew that he was going to have a bad relationship with them right from the start, now his prediction was manifesting.

"What’s this? You can’t even get him to fall in love with you properly. Where’s your charm??" Easton scolded Winter.

Sasha shook her head in disappointment as she looked at her son. Then she covered her face and cried into her palms, saying, "My son is a failure. Where did I go wrong in raising him? I can’t believe he turned out to be such a loser."

Easton stood up from his seat and went over to Sasha to comfort her, saying things like, "It’s not too late. We just need to give him more money and help him reinvent himself. He’ll be better with his lover. I know it."

Blue turned to look at Winter. Winter was pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration with his head hanging low but happened to look up at that moment and meet Blue’s gaze.

’What the fuck is wrong with them?’ Blue asked with his eyes as he looked at Winter.

Winter heard Blue’s internal question loud and clear and responded with a gesture corresponding to, ’I have no idea.’

The rest of the evening went by in that format—Winter’s parents would ask Blue a question, he would respond, then they would burst into a dramatical fit about Winter failing to do something right, then they would comfort themselves, and repeat the cycle.

Blue didn’t know how Winter finally managed to convince his parents that it was time to leave so they stood up and left the house. All he knew was that in their absence, he could finally breathe again.

Blue was inhaling huge bundles of air and exhaling with his mouth when Winter walked back into the living room after seeing his parents off.

"They’re gone." Winter said aloud, pronouncing his return.

Blue looked at Winter, then stood up from the chair he had been sitting on.

"Why? Why did all of that happen...?" Blue pushed his hair back as he asked that question with a delirious tone.

Why were Winter’s parents so... extra? Blue had to look at Winter, then remember the things that Winter had done in the past and piece them with the behavioural display of his parents today.

Blue tilted his head to one side. Now, he could understand why Winter was such a nut job. He had such crazy parents, it was a surprise that Winter was able to restrain his true nature from the public!

"I’m sorry. My parents tend to behave abnormally. No, they are abnormal. It’s just that they don’t find anything wrong in their behavior cause none is brave enough to call their bullshit to their face." Winter explained.

"Why hasn’t anyone—ooohhhh." Blue came to a realization in the middle of his question.

Winter’s parents were multibillionaires. Who would be so courageous to tell them that they were crazy to their faces? That would just be digging their own grave.

"Yeah. But it’s fine. Now that they’ve met you, they won’t treat you like an exotic treasure the next time they see you. Though you might receive some weird texts and photos from them since you must be added to their new best friend list after today, they’ll be more restrained in actions." Winter spoke with a reassuring tone.

However, all Blue picked up from Winter’s long train of words were ’next time’. Meaning there would be a next meeting between him and Winter’s parents. Him and his boyfriend’s parents.

Blue had no idea that his cheeks had tinted pink as that thought crossed his mind.

"What is it? Are you hot?" Winter ignorantly raised a hand to check Blue’s temperature. Upon the skin contact, Blue jerked away from Winter.

"I’m fine. It’s nothing." Blue hurriedly excused.

Winter didn’t allow Blue slip from his grasp. He caught up to Blue and wrapped an arm around his waist.

"What’s wrong? Why are you avoiding my touch? Are you upset?" Winter spoke with a coaxing tone, rubbing Blue’s waist.

Stimulated by Winter’s movements, Blue was not too clear on how to respond to the questions thrown at him, so he ended up saying, "It’s fine. I’m fine. I- angh!"

A sudden moan escaped from Blue’s mouth as Winter’s hand slipped into his shirt.

Winter suddenly pulled Blue closer and pressed his front against Blue’s back.

"What are you doing?" Blue asked Winter in between heavy breaths.

"Picking up from where we left off." Winter responded without hesitation, nuzzling Blue’s neck.

Blue’s body was so sensitive due to the amount of times that he and Winter had done it over the weekend and the fact that he was still recovering from his heat. But even with that, his exhausted body somehow managed to crave for Winter.

Blue remembered that before Winter’s parents had arrived, the two of them had been in the middle of something. And now Winter, a hot-blooded idiot, wanted to continue from the point they got interrupted.

Blue wasn’t sure whether to push Winter away or accept that his body was as slutty as Winter’s, seeing that he had begun to grind against Winter unconsciously.

"Bend your back." Winter commanded, pushing Blue forward with a hand to his neck.

Blue thoughtlessly grabbed onto the couch as he did as he was told, pushing up his ass.

"Look at this sight..." He heard Winter say right before air slapped his butt as his pants were pulled down.

"Winter..." Blue didn’t know why he uttered Winter’s name like a sexual plea.

"Yes, love?" Winter whispered against Blue’s ear, causing a tingle to run down his spine.

"Be gentle." Blue said.

"Of course, I’ll be gentle. Gentle is my middle name." Winter said dismissively before doing the opposite of his words.

Blue, unaware of the things that were going on in the online world, arrived at school the next day without a care. Blue stepped into class right before the lecturer did, so there was no time for him to pay attention to the strange looks he was receiving from his course mates.

The class ended relatively early. Being his only class for the day, Blue had nothing else to do but go for a meeting at the Empowerment club. On his way there, a few people had approached him to ask silly things.

And Blue had responded to them in his usual manner. Before reaching the Empowerment club room, Blue spotted Adam standing at the door talking to someone.

When Blue realized that the someone was Logan, Winter’s close friend, he halted his movements. From the point he stopped, he could clearly hear the things that the two of them were discussing.

"Please, you said you would have time today. You’re not doing anything right now. Why don’t we use this opportunity to—"

"Hold it right there. I said I had time today. But I never said I had time for you, okay?" Adam spoke with an icy tone.

Blue was surprised to hear Adam speaking to someone in such a manner. Adam was usually the type to encourage peace and act friendly with every single person.

Blue couldn’t remember a time when he had seen Adam being rude.

"But-"

"But what? Cut the pitiful act. Once was enough. Stop being so clingy. It’s annoying." Adam crossed his arms as he threw daggers at Logan in the place of words.

Blue wanted to burst into a fit of laughter right there and then. Adam was truly something. It seemed like spending so much time with Blue had influenced his manner of speaking.

Nothing else could explain why Adam was saying such things with such a cold look in his eyes. Much less to an Alpha. Adam had always treated Alphas highly, especially handsome ones like Logan.

Blue felt proud that he was able to witness Adam doing heaven’s work for the first time.
