Rise of the Malactric Heir



When their lips parted and the markings on their body stopped glowing, Alix looked at Adora and she glanced at him with her eyes sparkling and a smile appeared on Alix's face.

Her cheeks flushed and she was about to turn away, but he gently grabbed onto her chin and she looked into his piercing eyes.

"Did you mean to do that?" he asked as her lips trembled and she wanted to move away but just couldn't.

"It's okay if you didn't mean it, I will understand, but I will tell you this, I meant it," he responded and her eyes widened as the wind blew up her hair.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah, I meant it," he responded.

The colors from the fireworks reflected in both of their eyes, due to which they lit up, it was as though they saw the galaxy through each other's eyes.

"Did you mean it as well Adora? Do you want any part of this or not?" he asked and she looked at him before lowering her head and he sighed before smiling.

"It's fine if you can answer now, let's return to the ship," he said before walking away.

"Wait-" she said before grabbing onto one of his hands and he stopped and looked back at her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I meant it, if I, didn't I wouldn't have done it in the first place, I want to try...." she responded and he held onto her hand, then she looked at him and he lifted his hand up and placed her hair behind her ear.

"Do you want to try being in a relationship with me, Alix?" she asked and a smirk appeared on his face.

"I was going to ask you that, Adora, but I am glad you step forward first, it's good to know that it's what you want as well, so yes," he responded and she smiled then hugged him and he flinched before looking at her.

'He is warm,' she thought before closing her eyes and he placed his hand on her back.

"Adora, it's getting late, shall we go back now?" he asked, but got no answer from her and when he moved her hair from before her face, he saw that she had fallen asleep.

Alix chuckled, then she opened her eyes and he smiled at her and she sighed before raising off of him.

"Sorry," she said.

"It's fine, let's head back the firework show is finished as well," he replied, then held onto her hand and she looked at him and a gentle smile appeared on her face as they left, heading back to the ship since their time was already up.

After a while, they arrived back at the ship and saw that a few of the others were already there while others had just arrived.

Nina looked at them when they entered the living room and peeked and saw them holding each other's hands behind their backs, Nina smiled a little as did Yan but they didn't say anything.

"Did you guys have fun at the park?" Alix asked.

"Yeah, the shows were amazing, I have to say it was unique in more than one way," Kyris responded.

"Yeah, it really was," Adora said before releasing Alix's hand, he glanced at her and she smiled at him then he scoffed.

"Well, I have to say we all had a great day today, it was quite relaxing, am I right guys?" Kyllan asked.

"Yeah, the park, especially, it made our day," Zack responded and the others agreed with them since they needed some time to cool down, especially after Vellon's death.

"Adora, did you guys have fun?" Ifrit asked and she glanced at him then smiled.

"Yeah, we had a lot of fun, did you Ifrit?" she asked and he sighed before smiling.

"Yeah, watching the shows was really relaxing, it gave me a bit of peace of mind, staring at those colors," he responded, and upon hearing that she exhaled deeply.

Adora was glad to hear that everyone had fun since they had all been through quite a lot and probably had much worse to deal with in the future.

"Though, I have to say that now I am quite tired and I want to go to sleep," Kyris said and they smiled at them.

"I think we all want to sleep by now," Alix added when he saw Adora wiping her eyes and she glanced at him then smiled and he patted her on her shoulder.

"I am sleepy as well guys, let's all just call it a night, I am full as well," Adora said and Alix chuckled when he noticed that Ifrit was staring at them and his eyes narrowed, wondering why Ifrit was staring at them.

"What's the matter Ifrit?" Alix asked as Ifrit approached Adora, she looked at him and a smile appeared on his face as he looked her in the eyes.

"It's nothing, I am just seeing something that I don't usually see, it's rare," he said, Adora grabbed onto his hand and he smiled at her.

"It's okay, you go and get some rest, I will do the same, I am quite tired, good night guys," he added.

"Good night," they said then Ifrit left.

"Well, we will get going as well, good night guys," Adora said.

"Good night," the others replied, then everyone left to go to their beds since they were all quite tired after a long yet good day.

Alix took Adora to her room and she opened the door then entered before turning around and looking at him.

"Thank you for tonight, I honestly enjoyed it," she said as he placed his hand on her cheek, she looked at him then he kissed her on her cheek.

"So did I, good night, Adora," he replied with a genuine and gentle, smile before leaving and Adora's cheeks flushed, then she closed the door and went to freshen up before going to her bed.

After Alix returned to his room, he did the same and within no time, both of them fell asleep with smiles on their faces.

That day, everyone was able to relax and let go of some of their stress, they knew that their future ahead will be hard, but that day was more than enough to push them to fight harder for a future where they will be able to live happily together and smile.
