Chapter 201
Zeno was sitting beside the pool with Ida, a smile on his face, "So?" He asked.
Ida sighed, defeated, "You're better than me. Happy?" He frowned.
Zeno smiled, "Of course, that makes my day. Being better than head of Sebastian Orion's bodyguards is on cool thing to be," He patted Ida's head.
Ida chuckled, "Glad you feel that way," he said.
Ida was glad he could make Zeno smile in his situation. He knew that the secrets Zeno was unraveling were the kind to take easily, so making him smoke and laugh was a miracle.
"Your boyfriend must miss you. Why didn't he come with?" Zeno asked, slowly kicking his leg in the water.
Ida chuckled, "I don't have a boyfriend anymore," He informed.
Zeno frowned, "Huh? What do you mean? You broke up with him?" He couldn't believe it.
Ida shook his head, "No, why would I? I still love that stubborn shortie," He replied.
Zeno tilted his head to the side, "Then?" He wanted to know what went wrong; Ida and Cisy seemed quiet, loving, and sweet to him.
"Well, there was this girl -"
"You fucked a girl? Cheated on him?" Zeno interrupted.
Ida blinked in confusion, "Yes, I mean, no! It's not like that; I didn't fuck her; he walked in before anything couldn't happen," he hurried to explain.
Zeno's face twisted with anger, "So you did try to cheat on him?" He glared at Ida.
Ida sighed, "No, you're getting it all wrong, just like him," He said and removed his legs from the water, putting them in front of him as he faced Zeno.
"I'm listening, lie your way through, just like your master," He rolled his eyes.
Ida shook his head and cleared his throat, "Here's what happened: we went to a bar to get some drink, and the twin had tagged along, too. We ordered our drinks and drank, everything was going fine until I started feeling funny. I decided to wash my face in the restroom, but on my way to the restroom, it got worse," He scratched the back of his neck.
"Everything turned blurry, I felt hot; to put it simply, I needed to fuck someone, Cody," He continued, watching Zeno's reaction.
"So you fucked a girl thinking she was Cody?" Zeno questioned with a raised brow.
Ida chuckled, "Chill, Zeno. I got in the restroom, splashed water on my face, and was ready to go grab my boyfriend when someone pushed me against the sink and chained my wrists behind my back," he showed Zeno his wrists as if he still had the chains on them.
"Like I'd believe you'd let someone take you unaware," Zeno scoffed.
Ida blew out an exasperated air from his lips, "Bro, I was drugged, I could barely see clearly or stand on my feet," He pointed to his feet.
Zeno nodded, "go on,"
"She pushed me against a wall and forced my pants down, I was disoriented, trying to force my brain to not like the touch on my skin, and just at the moment she wanted to put me in her mouth, Cody pulled her away and from my blurry vision, I could see him slapping her until her cheeks turned red. He came to me and pulled my pants back up, dragged me to her, and forced her to unlock the chains," Ida put his hand in the water and made slow circles.
"Okay... then, if he saw the whole thing, why did he still break up with you?" Zeno questioned.
"He... he didn't believe me. He said I asked the lady to come to find me in the restroom for done BDSM shit; I mean, he knows I'm not really a fan, I only do it because he enjoys it, but asking a stranger to do it with me? That's insane," Ida frowned.
"He didn't even believe that nothing happened between the stranger lady and me; it's four months, Zeno, four months with no backdoor activity; I've groveled, sworn, promised, cried, but nothing seemed to work. He'd shut me out completely, he even threatened to quit the job if I dared to bring the matter up again to him," Ida stared at Zeno, leaning close to look better at his face.
Zeno slowly reeled back, "What?" He asked.
"Tell me, how did you go a whole year with no action? I know you're never letting anyone else touch you, Or, did you?" Ida asked quietly.
Zeno smirked and suddenly pushed Ida back into the water.
"Ugh! Come on, Zeno, just answer me. I could use a few tricks; it's getting really hard for me," he shouted at Zeno who was walking away from him.
Zeno paused, "I have nothing to tell you, if he's really done, you let him go. There's no amount of pleading that's going to get him back. It's just like I and Sebastian; he thinks I'm kidding around, but I'm really done this time, I mean it," He told Ida.
"I'm sorry, Zeno, I find that hard to believe with the way your eyes shine busy just calling his name. I think you're just angry for now and would want him to fulfill those dark fantasies of yours later. I can't take your word for it, I'm never giving up on Cody! You hear?!" Ida shouted at Zeno, who rolled his eyes and left with his clothes in hand.
Zeno went into the house and couldn't find anyone. It was better that way; he wasn't still ready to speak to anyone, especially Ken, he felt like that kid was trying to fix him in an uncomfortable situation.
He went up to the room and quietly opened the door, sighing in relief when he didn't see Sebastian in there.
He went right into the shower and washed his body under the warm water.
With a towel around his waist, he stepped back into the room but frowned when he couldn't still find Sebastian anywhere.
He wondered where he'd gone to.
He shrugged pulled his loose pants up his waist, and went straight to the bed.
He closed his eyes and thought of everything he'd learned about himself and his family. He was very disappointed, but he started to calm down and realize that, indeed, his parents did all this because they loved him.
He, too, wouldn't want his child to be put under the eyes of his Mafia enemies; it would bother his soul, he was surprised at how Sebastian managed to keep Ken safe even when he had so many enemies. Having a child as a Mafia could be quite tricky, even if it wasn't a child; having someone as a weakness was a huge loophole in the life of a mafia, just like himself.
Sebastian had said it; he was his weakness; maybe he might have overreacted by telling Sebastian that he was living when all he was doing was trying to protect him.
Ida's words were true; he could never truly leave Sebastian; the Mafia king already had half of his soul, he never knew someone could own your body just as much as you thought you owned it.
Sebastian was a part of him, a part of him that he never wanted to lose. He wasn't leaving, instead, he was ready to help with whatever plans Sebastian had made to bring his parents back and defeat those rivals.
For once, he's going to accept Sebastian for who he was. He is Mafia, Zeno knew that and still fell for him in the beginning. He knew what he was signing up for, a life of secrets and threats.
Hating his parents would be throwing stones while living in a glass house.
He loved a Mafia king and dared to hate his parents, hypocritical.
He heard the door slowly open and knew it was Sebastian.
He stayed still, his eyes closed, waiting for Sebastian to come onto him, as he always did.
However, he didn't feel the bed dip from any side, he only heard a little shuffling from the wardrobe.
He opened his eyes and looked toward the wardrobe, Sebastian stood there, searching for something in there.
He quietly stood from the bed and walked over to Sebastian, hugging him from behind.
Sebastian sighed; he'd heard Zeno approaching him and waited for him to do what he wanted to do. He didn't say or do something that would upset him again.
"Zeno," Sebastian called quietly.
Zeno hummed, "Sebastian," He slowly turned Sebastian around so he faced him, holding his face.
Sebastian didn't know what Zeno was feeling at the moment, he raised his hands to hold Zeno but dropped it down beside him again.
Zeno saw Sebastian's reluctance and took his hands, placing them around his waist, "You can hold me, Seb, I won't step away," He whispered.
Sebastian sighed and pulled Zeno closer, his arms possessively wrapping around his waist.
"Zeno, I'm sorry for everything, sweetheart, I know invaded the power to stop some few things from getting to this point but I fucked it up anyway, I'm just asking for one last chance to amend everything-"
"Shh..." Zeno placed his finger on Sebastian's lips.
"No talking. You're boring me," Zeno chuckled.
Sebastian smiled, "Sorry," He said, lost in Zeno's eyes.
"Everything is too tiring, we should give ourselves a break. Let's pretend we're on a vacation, just you and I, zero worries, no enemies, no threats, no secrets. Just two people insanely in love with each other, what do you say, Seb? Sound good?" Zeno's arm went around Sebastian's neck, his eyes shining with affection.
Sebastian gulped, "I'd like that," He replied softly and suddenly lifted Zeno off the floor, wrapping his legs around his waist.
Zeno chuckled, "That's a good start, don't disappoint me," He looked at the bed and back at Sebastian.
Sebastian smirked, "I never disappoint, Zeno," He whispered and carried Zeno toward the bed.
