Caitian approached A-Xuan panicked.

"You can’t leave me, ever!"

A-Xuan smiled as he looked down. When he lifted his head again, Caitian took a step back.

A-Xuan explained with cold eyes:

"I’m done being the one you fuck just because you feel comfortable while Ambrose is your light in the dark. Your light is the one who locked you in that box of darkness, so he could pretend to save you. You’re really a match made in heaven."

Caitian was surprised to hear him say light in the dark. That’s how he characterized Ambrose for the longest time.

But he never thought about it again since that morning when he could finally stand A-Xuan’s touch and felt the need to always be close to him.

"I don’t care that he locked me in the box."

A-Xuan laughed in exhaustion, he shook his head. There’s nothing he can say that will taint this beautiful image he has of Ambrose.

"You’re a lost cause, I’m done with you."

He’ll just slice Ambrose’s throat and leave the planet when he is done. Once that fool Caitian dies, he’ll take his soul-flake and leave for the next world.

He approached Caitian and reached out for the vial in his hand, but he looked up when he heard:

"I love you."

A-Xuan yelled:

"You just love the fact that you’re comfortable with me!"

The only reason he is is that his soul still recognizes him, even if he loves Ambrose.

"My father was abusive. He would lock me in a dark box, so I wouldn’t see him beating my mother. I became claustrophobic because of that, and because of my father’s proximity I couldn’t stand anyone touching me."

A-Xuan looked at him shocked. He knew his backstory was tragic, but this is beyond. In every life, his husband would have a difficult childhood or an inability to feel.

He would have power and wealth, but he would always be alone. It’s like the one who punished him made it, so he would feel alone in the worlds he created.

Caitian swallowed and said:

"I would have dreams every night of a man standing in front of a green piano, playing music. He looked similar to Ambrose, so I thought it was him. The day you played that song you posted, I recognized it immediately since I’ve been hearing it since I was a kid. My link to the spirit plane only manifests itself in my dreams, and I realized that the man was from a different plane."

A-Xuan was stunned, looking at him wide-eyed. Caitian stood closer and looked at his thunderstruck face.

He was worried he wouldn’t believe him.

"The man in the dream was you, but from a different plane and life. I know this is crazy, but we were together in our previous life. You’re my soulmate, we’re meant to be, so you can’t leave me."

A-Xuan was still looking at him wide-eyed. He’s starting to remember. He never dreamed that he would, but it’s happening.

When he first met Ambrose, he was surprised to see how much he looked like his old body. That’s why Caitian thought it was him in his dreams.

A-Xuan tears ran down his face as he jumped into Caitian’s arms. He wrapped his legs around his waist tightly and buried his face in his neck. Caitian held on to him just as tight.

A-Xuan got down from his arms after a few minutes, but his arms were still around his neck.

Caitian wiped his tears and asked with a hint of tension:

"Do you love me?"

A-Xuan smiled and answered:

"I do, my love. I love you so much."

A-Xuan stopped himself before adding, but my decision is made. The fact that he’s starting to remember means he’s getting closer to him.

So more than ever, he needs to do it. Caitian smiled, feeling giddy. He genuinely felt like jumping up and down. A-Xuan laughed at his silly husband, he is always like that in every life.

A-Xuan asked cutely:

"Can I slash Ambrose’s throat?"

"Sure, anything you want."

Even if A-Xuan had asked, Caitian was clear on the fact that he was only letting him know and that it wasn’t a discussion.

A-Xuan smiled satisfied. He got off his embrace and took the fairy dust off of his hand.

Caitian grabbed his wrist with narrowed eyes.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

"I swear to god if you changed your mind, you won’t want to see me ever again."

Caitian looked at his angry eyes, surprised. He asked with a smile:

"Are you jealous?"

A-Xuan crossed his arms and answered:

"I’m not."

Caitian laughed as A-Xuan looked at him annoyed. He stopped laughing and ordered:

"You’re not leaving, you live here now."

A-Xuan smiled, he should’ve known better. It’s always like that with him.

He explained:

"I was just leaving for the set. I disappeared in the middle of a scene."

"Then let’s go."

Before they left, A-Xuan explained his plan to him.

They appeared on set and A-Xuan apologized for leaving. He finished his scene and went to the dressing room to change his robes for the next one.

When the two faeries approached with the red robes, A-Xuan took a step backward with a frown.

He asked angrily:

"Who was the last person who handled those robes?"

Both faeries looked at him surprised and one of them answered:

"They’ve been locked ever since you tried them on before the beginning of shooting."

A-Xuan riffled in his bag and took out a vial of fairy dust. Both faeries looked at him with horror as he sprinkled it all over the robes.

The making of robes cost a lot of money, and there he was destroying it.

When the dust settled, they checked frantically but saw that it was intact.

"Someone poisoned it, that’s why I asked you who was the last person who handled it."

The faeries nodded in understanding. One of them said, realizing:

"The day before the shooting Ambrose was the last person to try on his costumes in the same room as you. Dain was sent to another room."

A-Xuan smiled, he knew it was him. It’s just that he knows he can’t create such powerful fairy dust. He must have bought it on the black market.

Contraband fairy dust goes for very high prices in the black market, it happened so often that they had to create laws against it.

Even if the punishment is harsh, it still happens. Thanks to the two faeries, A-Xuan put on the robes and went back to his scene. After acting all day, he drove to the hospital with Caitian.

Ambrose woke up and looked around the room. How strong is A-Xuan? I landed in the hospital with just one punch.

A doctor came into the room, and he smiled.

"You’re finally awake."

"What happened?"

He explained:

"Your nose was fractured, but we put back the broken bone in place. You just need to rest for a few days with an ice pack over it. We’ll prescribe a potion and in 3 days you’ll be back to 100. You’ll be discharged today after we’re done with the paperwork."

Ambrose nodded, touching the bandage on his nose. The doctor left, and he sat up on his bed. That asshole is going to pay.

No matter how angry he is, he’s still worried because he doesn’t know if people think he’s responsible.

He did pay two orcs to do it while he was in his dressing room and pretended to stumble upon it. He looked at the door when A-Xuan entered with Caitian. He sat up with tension.

A-Xuan entered walking toward him, he questioned with worry:

"Are you okay Ambrose?"

When Ambrose saw the worry in his eyes, he was sure he didn’t know he was responsible.

He answered:

"I’m fine, it was just a fracture."

A-Xuan said:

"I thought you were the one who trapped Caitian in that steel box but after checking the video surveillance, we saw that it wasn’t you."

Ambrose wondered:

"Why would you think it’s me? I’ve known Caitian since we were kids, I would never do that to him."

When A-Xuan looked down, Ambrose smiled inwardly.

Caitian approached him and reassured:

"I always knew it wasn’t you. You would never do something like that to me or anyone for that matter."

Ambrose smiled, he smiled wider when Caitian said:

"Thanks for trying to help me. You’ve always been like that, ever since we were kids. Trying to be there for anyone who needs help."

After hearing those words, Ambrose was sure that Caitian had feelings for him. He truly sees me as an angel.

A-Xuan offered:

"If you need anything, let me know. Whatever you need, I’ll be there."

Ambrose smiled and reassured:

"It’s okay, we were both trying to help Caitian."

Caitian smiled sweetly at Ambrose, and he felt his heartbeat quicken. He never felt like that before, but then again Caitian’s never been this sweet to him.

Usually, he would only instruct him on how to act a scene. Before that, he couldn’t have a single conversation with him, so he chose that way to get closer to him.

It didn’t work, but surprisingly even with A-Xuan ruining his plan it still worked. It actually worked better because now Caitian feels pity for him and is grateful.

He must feel guilty because he got hurt trying to save him. Plus it’ll make him hate A-Xuan, he saw the anger directed at him when he said that he thought he was responsible.

Caitian asked:

"How long before you’re better?"

"The doctor said in 3 days. Hopefully, you won’t mind changing my schedule until then."

Caitian smiled.

"Of course! We can’t do the show without you."

Ambrose smiled brightly, it’s finally happening, Caitian is falling for him.

Caitian said:

"I wanted to stay longer but I have to go."

"No, it’s okay, don’t worry. Thank you for checking on me."

He said:

"Of course, I was going to check on you. What did you think?"

"It’s just that, we haven’t talked since we started shooting, so I thought you would be too busy."

Caitian said:

"It’s just that between filming the show and running the companies, I’m swamped. But when we wrap the filming of the show, we’ll have plenty of time."

Ambrose nodded excitedly, his eyes shining. A-Xuan said:

"I’ll go too, you must be tired."

"Thank you for coming, I know how busy you are fighting for fairies’ rights."

"It was no problem."

Ambrose watched as they both left. He can’t believe how things turned out. Caitian holds animosity against A-Xuan, and he said that they’ll spend time together after the filming.

The episodes of the show air while they film, so other people already recognize him. He just needs to be seen once in public with Caitian, and they’ll know they are together.

He can’t wait to take A-Xuan down, even more now that he fractured his nose. You’ll pay for everything.
