Aleksei's father paused, seeming to listen Luca's words but said nothing. He peered over his shoulder, icy blue boring into Alek and Luca.
"It upset you? Finding out my only child may have betrayed our family has upset me. Knowing that he lies with a boy who knows nothing of real consequences upsets me. Having to choose in between trusting my son or turning him in, which could lead to a potential execution has upset me!" He snapped at the end of his sentence and turned his head back forward, resuming his walk to his study. Once he reached the door he paused in the frame turning to look at them one last time. "And I don't need nor want the assistance of someone so eager to betray others to save his own hide, I cannot bring myself to even respect trash like that, be glad I am allowing Aleksei the choice of staying with you." His features darkened and he glanced over at Alek. "I hope for his sake the choice he makes is the right one." The door fell shut when he was done speaking and the room went cold.
Bartov glanced at Aleksei, who stood angry and shaken to his core. He threw a dirty look at Nikolai, who tried to hold it but folded under his own guilt and looked away. He helped up Luca gently and led him towards the door bidding Bartov a empty goodbye. Once on the steps of his father's home, the door firmly shut behind them, Aleksei collapsed burying his hands in his hair, dropping his head between his legs. He mumbled every swear he knew, in every language before glancing up at Luca and deep small frown set in his face. "I am so sorry."
