Hellbound With You (WN)

Alex raised a brow at Zeres ’ sudden interruption. ”Back when the two of us and Abi were still together. I ’ve seen Eris following you around for a couple of times and then one night I accidentally bumped into her. It was then that I saw her face. I ’ve long forgotten about it. But when I saw Iryz the other day, I then remembered that I ’ve seen her before and guessed that her case must be like Abi – ”

”Why didn ’t you tell me?! Why did you not say anything? ” Zeres ’s tone held a tinge of accusation as he looked even more dumbfounded.

”What? I ’ve told you and you said Eris was your comrade. ”

”No, no! I mean about the fact that you saw her face! ” Zeres pinched the skin between his brows.

Alex lifted both his brows now, looking a bit lost. ”And why in the world I should have informed you that I saw her face? ”

”Because I never saw her face at all… the entire time, I only saw the mask that she wore… ” Zeres mumbled out, feeling that it was so unfair that Alex got to see Eris ’ face even when he did not.

It was as if the god of silence passed by for a moment until Alex spoke again in disbelief. ”Don ’t tell me you didn ’t even know that she was a girl? The entire time? ”

When Zeres just pressed his lips tightly together, not saying anything, Alex covered his mouth with his hand while his other hand rested on his hip. It was obvious that he was holding back and trying so very hard not to laugh out loud. This Zeres…!! He was just so hilarious!!

Alex had to clear his throat a couple of times before he turned his gaze towards Iryz. He bent a little bit closer to her and said in a stage whisper. ”This guy… do you want me to slap him up the head for being so stupid? ”

Iryz could not help but smile amusedly as she watched Alexander pressed his temple like a problematic old man.

”You were pretty stupid too, back then, Alexander. ” Zeres retorted when Abi ’s voice echoed out suddenly.

”Zeres! ” came the call from a bright and cheerful voice.
