Marcus holds on to Cole make sure no one else can touch him. William stays closely behind worried about his good friend. He didn't understand why he was a bit attracted to Hope. She caused such a ruckus and dared hurt his friend. She even tried to seduce Cole into paying for her meal. Alisa is much kinder and honest than the Hope girl. William had to separate once they got to the cars as he had to get in his own.

"Marcus I have to go home! Take care of Cole for the both of us alright it seems something has happened at home!" Williams says regretfully as he stares at the text from his father. He really wanted to help calm down Cole and make sure he is alright.

"Of course you go, I'll take care of him very well no need to worry" Marcus answers softly. William nods and goes straight home worrying over what has happened at his home. Marcus gently places Cole on the passenger seat and puts on the seat belt. He gently caresses Cole's cheek and gently places a kiss on Cole's forehead.

"It'll be alright Cole I will not let anyone hurt you ever. I don't know why you gained this phobia but whoever hurt you will not see another day once I find them" Marcus comforts Cole. Without finishing by saying starting with your ex whoever it is. Cole continues his act of shock and didn't answer he just continues to shiver.

[Zero you are amazing both Marcus and William are resenting heroine. Now you need to find the two lovers to be with. Someone they truly love and want to be together with for the rest of their lives]

"I know that I will make sure they end up with someone they love" Cole answers Leon with a bit of discomfort in his heart. For a weird reason, he didn't like the thought of giving Marcus to another.

Marcus glances occasionally at Cole who it seems he is lost in thought. Marcus couldn't help and think that Cole is thinking about the person or thing that caused his phobia. His grip tightens on the steering wheel in anger and shame. He should've known about his phobia about his ex. They are friends and maybe in the future more than that. He shouldn't have let that slut touch his future wife.

Marcus finally made it to his home and drove into his parking lot. He gets down and opens Cole's door. He gently scopes Cole up and carries him bridal style towards his room. Marcus gently places Cole on his bed, he then sat next to him.

"Cole listens to my voice you're ok. I'll protect you no matter what, as long as I'm here I will always protect you." Marcus softly says while running his fingers through Cole's delicate hair. Marcus finally understood why he felt awkward around Cole before. At first, he thought is because he was being used. It wasn't apparently since he first met Cole he was slowly falling in love with Cole.

"Marcus where are we" Cole weakly answers acting like he finally regained a bit of control. Marcus smiles widely, Cole trusts him enough to protect him.

"My bedroom" Marcus answers, Cole looks around curiously. Marcus thought that he looks like a kitten who just entered a new home.

"I should head home thanks for everything Marcus I appreciate all you have done. My sister must be worried sick. I'm so sorry for ruining our little get together I didn't think someone had the audacity to touch me. I should have told you and William about my phobia" Cole apologizes once he completely calms down.

"No need I promised your sister that I will take care of you. Just rest okay as long as you're alright everything else can be forgiven. Even if you caused me to lose an arm I would forgive you as long as you're okay" Marcus states gently. Cole couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart once he heard those words.

"Do you want some pajamas? I can let you borrow one of my pairs even if they are slightly bigger. Just tell me what you want, and I'll deliver think of me as your faithful partner forever" Marcus continues. Cole nods for the PJs but unsure of the faithful partner. Marcus gets up and grabs him a pair of pajamas.

[Zero!! The love of meter of Marcus maxed out. His love is overflowing!] Leon screams in panic as he looks at the data.

"What is a love meter?" Asks Cole unsure of what that is.

[It tells me about the people here. Each person has two meters for people. The hate or love meters. Marcus love meter for you is overflowing. The limit is 100 but it's reaching higher. No one has reached it nor overflowed it before. This man how can he love someone so much? Even when the heroine gets together they usually only around 60-80 in the meter]

"He truly loves me? He won't betray me?" Asks Cole a bit wistfully imagining someone fully devoted to just him.

[Yes he truly loves you. It's most likely that you would betray him then him betraying you]

"I cannot fall in love in the next life he won't be with me. What's the point?" Cole says a bit depressed. He really wanted to be loved but once Marcus is gone he'll be left with no one.

"Cole are you alright?" Asks Marcus gently when he saw Cole become sad. His heart ached but he could only ignore it to comfort Cole.

"Hn" Cole responds coldly with a frown. Marcus frowns as Cole puts up his walls again. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to make him this way?

"Cole tell me your story after you are done changing alright. I want to understand you better," Marcus asks gently as he hands Cole the pajamas.

"Are you sure you want to hear that? It's a very long and complicated story. Marcus if I tell you, you can't tell my sister at all. Promise me alright right" Cole explains to Marcus. As he gets up to head to the bathroom to change. If he stays there to change he will definitely be eaten.

"I promise I won't tell another soul!" Marcus immediately responds determinedly. He can finally find out who hurt him. Who made his future wife become so guarded.
