❝ You must miss the good old days, huh? ❞
"I don’t really care about the old days. Whatever it is now, it just … is. We can’t help it,” Soren said nonchalantly. “There’s no point of missing days that we won’t get; times we can’t relive. That’s why I’m going to win. The times may never be the same again, but we can make them worth living.”Oh, hell. When did he become someone who enjoyed preaching? Soren’s eyes narrowed—he didn’t … he didn’t want Noah to know about how he was fine with being alongside the Titans.Because truly, all Soren wanted to do was win. It didn’t matter what side he was on.
❝ For as long as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right. ❞
Soren almost choked from the scoff that rose from his throat. “And how, exactly,” he started, his eyes becoming slits, “do you have the idea in your mind that you’re a bad person?”Soren’s pink lips curved upwards into a sardonic smile, his expression callous. “It’s pretty simple, Williams. You’re good. I’m not. I don’t do what’s right, I do what’s easy.”The funny thing was that Soren didn’t care. He could be called selfish, self-serving, a coward but it would not change him one bit. He deserved to go to Hell. Might as well enjoy the ride there, right? On the other hand … Noah didn’t deserve the same fate. Even he was not selfish enough to take advantage of someone like him—Noah was too whole, too righteous, too pure to get dragged down to the Fields of Asphodel or worse."Keep doing what you’re doing, kid. You’ll get places without me by your side."
"Who the fuck is the girl? I don’t know either, kid,” he laughed, the boy’s comment amusing him.To him, there was no point of loving someone when there was the chance of losing them. And he knew he would lose them sooner or later—it was kind of a given ever since he was claimed as a demigod. Soren liked stability. He liked having an easy life even if it was given to him in all the wrong ways.Dating a girl? Sure, it’d be nice, maybe. Not in the long run, though. He didn’t need to feel negative emotions anymore.Wait. What made Noah think that he had a girl?"Oh, gods, Noah. Please tell me you’re not talking about Mary.”
❝ If it was down to me to save your life, would you trust me to do it? ❞
Like hell he would. If there was anyone who he’d put his trust into for saving his life, it was the person standing in front of him. He didn’t deserve any bit of Noah, but for some unknown reason, Noah still liked him.It should’ve made him amused. Happy, even. Soren could so easily take this boy’s trust and shatter it. He’d get one good use; one chance do use Noah’s trust and turn it around on him to cut himself. One betrayal.But it made him infuriated. He just wanted him to get out; leave before he got burnt from playing with fire. People say that there’s always an exception to a rule . . .Noah was his exception. Get burnt if you meddle with fire. But what if the thing that was meddling with fire was water?Maybe if he had a caring soul somewhere in his empty body, he’d manage to care about Noah. Or maybe this was his sick way of protecting the boy he could’ve cared about in another time; another life. Either way, he would not stop pushing him away.”No,” Soren said. “I wouldn’t trust you to save my life.”
