Chapter 12
A spy… Alex Parkinson, no… Alex Rider was a spy for the British government, working on his last mission before retiring…
if that last part didn't sound sinister then Nathaniel didn't know what did.
The whole thing seemed so absurd, too absurd, yet the dancer couldn't find himself thinking his boyfriend a liar... there was just too many things to consider when it came to Alex.
All those timesNathaniel had worried over what was keeping Alex away from home for long periods of time, the silence when he asked, and the bruises and countless scars.
Whenever the blond finally would come home he was always so secretive of where he'd been and why he was hurt.
Nathaniel never believed the lame excuses Alex would give him...
Because who would believe something like 'I ran into a wall' when it looked as if the Alex had been hit by a freaking frat train … and let's not forget the poisoning…
No that was the last straw for Nathaniel; he had to know the truth, not some lame excuse given to the police.
But know he knew… oh how he knew the truth and he doubted it would ever set him free.
Silently Nathaniel wondered if Alex could tell that the truth scared him, now knowing what was really out there.
Now he deeply that he wished that he had lisond to his boyfriend and stayed ignoring.
He was sure Alex knew, he was a spy after all, it was his job to know people, to watch and survey them until he knew them like the back of his own hand.
Still Alex didn't say 'I told you so', no he was better them that. Instead of giving the dancer a hard time, he took the brunette into his arms and comforted him.
Wrapping the smaller mail into his strong embrace, whispering silently into Nathaniel's ear…
"Don't worry love; I'll protect you…always"
They stayed like that… for hours entwined in each other's arms; the young spy's words filled the silence…
But as Alex rider, grates spy known among the many law informants and criminal alike, proclaimed his devotion to his boyfriend.
Like a knight… so sweet and true, all Nathaniel could think was…
"But who's going to protect you…"
