While Alex and Felix were talking about the mission, Seraph went back to focusing on her work now that the girl she adored and stared at all day had left. Frankly, the girl was distracting her a lot during work and she has absolutely no right to be that beautiful.
In the middle of the work, a worker, who happens to be her assistant reported the yelling that was happening in room 5 just in case something serious happens and she needs to interfere. She told her assistant to keep an eye and ear on them.
Seraph could see the way that Felix looks at Alex, as it is the same way she looked when she was in love. But she also knew that the fact Alex is in love with someone else and could be seen that he has zero attraction toward the said male. Well, as long as he doesn't harm her master, both emotionally and physically, then she doesn't care about what happens to the boy.
After a few minutes has passed, her assistant had again informed her of the updated situation. Apparently, the fighting and yelling has stopped and she saw her master leave in a hurry after bidding her goodbye. Seraph hated seeing the look on her master face as she saw him leave, with a heavy guilt shown on his face along with the looks of exhaustion and frustration.
Seraph didn't know what to do as she could only stare at his disappearing silhouette feeling helpless. The fact that she can't even aid or help her master making her very frustrated and angry at her weak self. Seraph decided to talk to the boy before he leaves and make sure to warn him or else he won't see another day. Till then, she settles on finishing her work first.

Alex ran till he couldn't anymore and collapsed at a bridge that was an hour away from his residence. He needed to collect his thoughts before he goes home. He decided to give his dad a simple text that says he will be late. He didn't want Loid to see his pathetic self that can't do shit.
Alex scrolled through his phone, bored out of his mind and decided to watch something to get his mind out of the fight that happened earlier on. Alex knows it was no one's fault as it was natural and okay for someone to express their feelings. It's the way they decided to do it. Felix way was... aggressive to say the least.
It was too much for Alex to handle. All these burst emotions were too much. He didn't know how to respond, especially when it was this aggressive. Alex is great at almost everything if he says so himself. He can handle and manage his feelings, he's great at technology, he's good at cooking and many other things.
***
Alex stayed at the bridge for few hours before he decided to go home. Loid was worried a lot seeing the message that Alex send him only meant that something happen and he didn't want him to see his pathetic side.
Loid wants to see that pathetic side of Alex. Alex is his son, he is suppose to be there for him and he should know that he can let it out when it comes to his family. It's okay to have feelings and emotions. It's not pathetic to show them and be vulnerable for once in a while.
Loid knows that spies should always keep cool and not be vulnerable, not even for a second but he doesn't care about that. Alex is a child whether he is a hacker, spy or agent or anything. He's his son and nothing will change that, not even his job will stop him from caring and raising his children differently than how he was raised.
Loid always lets himself be pathetic and vulnerable when it comes to his wife thus he wants to teach his son that it is okay for him as well.

Alex opened the door to his residence only to find Loid on the couch with a worried and concerned face. Alex assumed it was because he took too long but that doesn't matter.
Loid whipped his face toward the door with a relieved and a happy face. "Alex" His father calls out to him gently. "Come here" Loid pats the empty space beside him, medicating that he wants Alex to come and sit with him. Alex nods numbly with an emotionless face.
He wanted comfort and Loid is giving him that. He walks slowly to his father who had the most gentle face he had seen. Alex lips quivered at how soft his father is becoming. Alex is loved and he knows that but when his father shows this side of him, it makes him wanna cry at how much love he is getting.
Alex runs towards his father and jumps into him for a hug as he cried. The warmth that his dad is emitting is comforting, the hand that is combing through his hair is comforting, the hand that is patting and hugging him... is comforting.
Everything about his dad is comforting.
***
That night, Alex fell asleep in his dad embrace. Alex didn't wanna let go of his father making Loid carry him to his room and let him sleep with him. It was in the middle of the night and Anya was already asleep when Alex came home. He took too long apparently making Loid worry a lot.
Right now, Alex was huggin his dad an burring his head on Lois's chest, making his scent very comforting as well. Loid hugged his son tightly like how a lion protects their cub.
Of course he made sure that Alex isn't suffocated, he doesn't want his son to die because of a hug.
***
The next morning, Loid woke up to Alex still hugging him tightly with a peaceful face, not wanting to let go of his dad, he hugged Loid tighter when he felt him trying to leave making Loid chuckle at how adorable his son is when he's clingy.
Loid cherished and loved moments like these but they had to end since he needs to get up and get ready. "Alex, wake up" Loid whispered gently, trying to wake his son who seemed to be in a slumber.
Alex groaned at being woken up but he ignored it and went back to sleep. Loid made sure to record everything on his phone to send it to his wife. He started recording when before he tried to wake Alex up and he was so adorable that Loid couldn't resist.
"Alex" Loid shook him gently again to wake him up. Alex whined while snuggling closer before he finally opened his eyes.
"Hmm.. what is it?" His morning voice was deep and rusty making frown. He didn't like how he sounds and the sun shining on him doesn't make it any better.
"Come on, we have to get up and make breakfast" Loid said as he plays with his sons hair. "Nooo... let me sleep more" Alex kept whining while leaning on his dad hand. Loid swooned over his son that looked like he aged down few years.
He was like a baby refusing to get up.
For the next 5-10 minutes, The blonde spy tried to get his son out of bed but it was still unsuccessful.
In the end he just sighed and gave in to his son. They slept for few more hours, making Alex feel content and well rested.
