The End.

Coming Home

It's been 8 days since he left Paris.
8 days since he laid eyes on Eliott.
Just thinking his name hurt.
His heart.
His head.
His soul.
He'd been keeping tabs on him through Yann.
Knew that he'd had an episode.
Knew from Daphne there'd been an incident with Lola.
She'd admitted trying to seduce Eliott and how he'd rebuffed her rather brutally.
He wished he could feel sorry for the young girl.
He didn't.
He also wished knowing Eliott had rejected her would change anything.
But it didn't.
Lola wasn't the cause of their break up. No, she was just the catalyst of a larger issue.
He knew his time of hiding was coming to an end and that he owed Eliott the chance to apologize.
To explain.
To say or do whatever he must.
He owed their love that much.
He was scared to go back.
Back to Paris.
Where every corner had a memory linked to Eliott, to them.
He'd already been told by Mika that Lisa's old room was waiting for him. Prepared with fresh sheets and a new desk for him to study on.
Mika had even offered to go to the apartment and remove all his belongings for him.
He couldn't do that to Eliott.
No.
He had to do it himself.
Eliott hadn't reached out to him again since.
He felt both relieved and terrified by that fact.
That meant only one thing.
And it wasn't good.
He fought many nights against his urge to call.
To text.
To go rushing to his side because in spite of everything that was wrong between them now...Lucas would always come to his rescue. Always.
Yann had made it clear to stay put.
Put himself and his healing first and that they, the gang, while super pissed at Eliott, wouldn't let anything bad happen to him or him to do anything bad to himself.
Lucas trusted his life in Yanns hands.
And Eliott was still very much that.
He slowly packed his bag looking out the window and seeing Lucille and Manon, sitting together at the small bistro table, drinking cafe and chatting. They were both smiling wide at each other and Manon must have said something hilarious as Lucilles head fell
back and she laughed loudly.
He smiled and then he looked to his surrogate sister, his rock, and saw the tender look on her face as she gazed at Lucille.
He arched an eyebrow.
Intrigued.
Their drive home would be interesting.
He finished packing his bag and headed out to join them.

Not saying goodbye to this angel. Only until we meet again! Thank you Lucille, more than I can ever express. 🥰

They got into the car and started the short drive home.
"Are you ready for this?" Manon asked with a sense of melancholy in her voice.
"No." Lucas admitted.  His eyes drifted out the window and scanned the country side, the fields, bushes and trees rushing passed.
"I'll miss this place." He said to her.
She nodded not looking at him.
"You and Lucille seemed to get on very well" he adds careful how to broach the subject.
She nodded.
"She a lovely person. Inside and out."
Lucas smiled.
"Yes very. I was wrong to have judged her so harshly"
Manon looked sideways at him.
"Anyone would in your situation, Lucas"She told him "the ex always gets the villain role in our stories to others, especially our new loves."
Lucas nodded.
"She seemed quite taken with you." He mutters to her.
Manon smiles softly.
"I know what you're doing. And I don't think she's bi, little brother."
Lucas sighed.
"Well from the looks she was giving you when you weren't looking...I think you might be wrong."
She remains quiet briefly.
"Are we heading home first or to our place?"
Home.
He frowns.
He doesn't have a home anymore.
Eliott was his home.
Now he doesn't know what he is.
"I'm not ready to face that yet."
"Tomorrow will come soon enough." She tells him wisely.
They remain silent the rest of the way
Manon thinking of an enchanting dark haired beauty.
Lucas thinking of his great love, waiting at their once home, and the fact this he has to break his heart.
