Rise of the Malactric Heir

"That hurts," she said as she opened the balcony door despite the AC being on and the air rushed into the room and at the same time Alix was passing by and her door was opened.

"That's cold," he said as he walked into her room, the air brushing against him.

"It's freezing in here; do you want to freeze?" he asked before locking the balcony door, and she chuckled.

"You guys seriously overreact," she said as she sat on the bed, then looked at him and tilted her neck.

"What exactly are you doing here?" "Would you like to sleep here again?" she inquired, and he coughed.

"No, thank you; you enjoy tormenting me, don't you?" he replied.

"It's entertaining," she said.

"Oh, almost forgot," she said.

'What?' he asked.

"Didn't you notice it growing during the fight?" "The seal on your heart," she said.

"Ah, yes, it did grow a little more," he said as she grabbed his arm and sat him beside her.

"I'll take a look now, sorry for the delay," she said as her eyes began to glow purple along with his.

"It's fine," he said, and she smiled.

"It's not fine, relax," she replied, then closed her eyes and placed her hand on his chest.

'Seems like I was right all along, he is getting stronger, though the seal is also acting up more, I wonder when I should remove it, it will take time and a lot of my energy,' she thought before opening her eyes, which stopped glowing, and she smiled as his went back to normal.

"How bad is it this time?" he asked.

"Well, it's not terrible; it's just growing," she said.

"How much of an impact will it have on me using my powers?" he asked.

"Enough to wound you or make you lose control, all you have to do is give me an answer, like I said take your time, you are still doing way better than most newbies," she replied, and he smiled.

"Are you telling the truth?" he inquired.

"I have no reason to lie or butter you up," she responded then opened her chocolate.

"Here," she said and he took a piece.

"Thank you, Adora," he said then she sneezed and he smiled.

"You should not have done that," he said as she looked at him and ate a piece of chocolate.

"I am going to sleep, maybe," Alix said as he was about to leave and she grabbed his arm.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"Why don't you stay a little longer?" she asked while lowering her head then he moved her hand off of him and went to sit on the couch.

"Thank you," she said as he took out his phone.

"No need to thank me," he replied while scrolling through the media

"Oh, now this is interesting," Alix said and she looked at him with interest.

"What is interesting? "Is it really interesting?" she inquired.

"Come, take a look for yourself," he said, showing her the phone, to which she scoffed.

"It's a good picture, you guys are all over the media now, well your fanbase will surely grow, though the media won't be able to come near you, there are rules they have to follow, you guys are popular now," she said, and he scoffed.

"To be honest, I am not interested in this; I'm just glad we won," he replied, and she smiled.

"I know you guys don't care what other people think, which is a good thing because it means certain things won't affect you in the future, I already told you guys that before too," she said as she stood up and opened the door to the balcony, and he shivered as she allowed the cold air to brush against her body.

"Don't you feel cold?" he asked.

"Are you cold?" she inquired, sneezing, and scoffed.

"Your cold will worsen, and no, I am not cold," he replied as she felt her body warming up, knowing it was the demon within her powers.

"The cold doesn't bother me much, to be honest, I like it, but you are right, my cold will worsen if I stay in the cold," she said as she closed the door and looked outside at the stormy sky.

"It is tempting you to go outside isn't it?" he asked as she turned to face him.

"It's a nice night," she said then turned on the TV and tossed the remote to him, which he caught.

"Watch something if you want," she said before yawning and lying back on the bed.

'What am I doing here?' Alix pondered as he ut on a movie to watch.

'I noticed I sleep better when someone is around,' she thought while she looked at Alix then smiled and stretched off.

"Good night, princess," he said.

"Good night, Alix, you know I don't mind if you stay here the night," she said, closing her eyes and he smiled.

"You sure are easy when you are in a good mood," he muttered then continued watching his movie.

After a while, Adora fell asleep, and Alix got up, covered her with her blanket, turned off the TV, and went to sleep on the couch, which was a recliner that could be adjusted to your comfort, so he had no trouble sleeping that night.

When Adora awoke the next morning, she saw Alix sleeping on the couch and smiled before getting out of bed and looking out the balcony, only to see the rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly.

"Good morning, Alix, I think it's time for you to wake up," she said as she approached him and tapped him on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep.

"Alix," she called out as she sat beside him and he opened his eyes and saw her sitting beside him.

"Are you up now?" she asked as he quickly closed his eyes back due to the bright light and squinted until his eyes adjusted to the light, then opened them again.
