Gods' Impact Online

Zach, Aurora, and Aria finally reached their house. The first thing they did after entering the house was hug each other. 

Of course, Aria only hugged Aurora, but Aurora hugged Zach, so in the end, the three of them ended up with one big hug.

"What are we going to do now?" Aurora asked. "We woke up in the Sea Realm and ate breakfast before leaving for Atlantis. Then, we spent some time there and ate lunch. But now it's night here."

"Yeah, I didn't think that there would be different time zones, to be honest," Zach sighed.

"So what now?" Aria asked. "We are still a day early for the dungeon raid because of the time differences. Should we just sleep?"

"I mean… we don't really have anything else to do. But I guess we should sleep so we can start the next day as fresh," Zach stated. "Otherwise, we will feel sleepy during the raid the day after tomorrow."

"Let's fix our body cycle," he added.

Aurora turned to Zach and said, "I will go take a nice bath before sleeping."

"Is that an invitation?" Zach asked with a grin on his face.

"No. Unlike you, I am not that shameless," Aurora remarked. "And besides, I am not ready yet. It's too soon for us."

"Don't tempt me. Or I will really barge in!" Zach snorted.

"Thanks for reminding me to lock the door," Aurora said and entered the bathroom.

Zach then turned to Aria and stared at her as though he was wondering what he should do now.

"I am going to sleep," she said.

"Are you sure?" Zach asked with a knowing look on his face.

"..." Aria didn't reply and entered her room after giving a weird glare to Zach.

"..." Zach squinted his eyes and muttered something as he realized something important. He barged into Aria's door and pinned her down on the bed.

"What are you—!" Aria tried to fight back, but she stopped resisting after seeing the serious look on Zach's face.

"What is the meaning of this?" Aria asked in a calm voice.

Zach looked into Aria's eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

"I… don't know. Maybe you want to use my body for pleasure because Aurora just turned you down a while ago?" Aria remarked.

"She didn't turn me down…"

"So… what is the meaning of this?" Aria asked in a calm voice. "You do realize that if Aurora walked into my room and saw us in this position, she would get…." Aria sighed and murmured, "No, she won't. I forgot she is okay with sharing with you."

"I am here because you didn't tell me an important detail related to my soul awakening," Zach stated. "When I went to talk with uncle Tis, he told me that he could send me back to the real world by channeling my soul to my body or something."

"..." Aria immediately averted her gaze after hearing that and avoided eye contact with Zach.

"Oh?" Zach raised his brows and uttered, "Judging by your reaction, it seems that you purposely didn't tell me about it. Maybe I know why?"

"Did your uncle Tis not tell you about the risk then?" Aria uttered. "He must have warned you about this, right?"

"Yeah, he did." Zach grabbed Aria's chin so she wouldn't avert her face while talking.

"What I am talking about is how you didn't tell me about it." Zach furrowed his brows and asked, "Tell me, why didn't you tell me about it?"

"...."

"Aria… I order you to tell me the truth," Zach ordered Aria.

Aria but her lips and said, "If you had gone, I would have become alone again. I didn't want to be lonely…"

Zach squinted his eyes in confusion and asked, "Wait… do you love me or something?"

"I don't!" Aria whispered violently. "I was just worried about you. We have made a deal, remember? I am being useful to you, so you have to become useful to me too."

"What, are you my mother?" Zach scoffed softly.

"Don't call me that…" Aria responded in a calm voice.

"Then…" Zach raised his brows and continued with a judging look on his face: "Should I call you aunt?" 

Zach did that to see how Aria would react to the word aunt, but Zach soon regretted it.

Aria was glaring at him with a furious look on her face, similar to how she glared at him when Zach had punched her on the face when they had met the first time.

"What's with that face?" Zach remarked.

Aria gritted her teeth and said, "Don't call me that."

"Why not?"

"Just as the topic related to your father is taboo for you, the topic related to my sister is taboo for me," Aria stated. "So please…"

"..." Zach stared into Aria's eyes for a couple of seconds before sighing deeply. He placed his head on Aria's forehead and continued looking into her eyes.

Aria didn't say anything and stared back at Zach and his lips.

SIGH!

Zach let out a weary sigh and let go of Aria before getting off the bed.

"Good night," he said as she walked to the door.

"Wait…" Aria called him in a low voice, as though she didn't truly mean to call him out, but she did it subconsciously.

Zach turned around and asked, "Hmm?"

"I am not sure if I love you or not, but I know for sure that I don't hate you," Aria said with a  little flushed face and an innocent smile on her face.

Zach left the room without saying anything and entered his room.

SIGH!

He sighed and got on the bed with a frustrated look on his face.

"I was going to tell her, but if she hates being called aunt, then she will probably cause havoc if I tell her that she 'is' my aunt."

Zach leaned on his back and closed his eyes as he pondered for a while about something.

'If I don't tell her, she won't know. And if she won't know, then… it shouldn't be a problem… right?'
