World 4.7

Homura was calming his mind in the afternoon sun, he was sitting alone in front of the Mansion Garden. The man's face never left his mind, he was still wandering about him. Shiro must be here with him, but today he was alone.

"Homura.." 

The male looked up and saw Yuna "What are you doing here?" The woman took the empty space on the bench. 

Homura glanced at her "How's the kid?" he asked

The lady seemed startled as she lowered her head, closing her palm in silence. The afternoon breeze caressed the grasses and the petals fell from its stem. New flowers were blooming under the dandelion sky.

"Homura" Yuna paused, like she was carrying something inside her chest "Shiro..was...he was a vampire" she finally let go

Homura's eyes dilated in surprise but was taken aback by his gentle features "He was a good kid.." he said

"This is against the rule of the Clan...and...and you are the General now" Yuna stared at him with grief

"He will stay here.."

"But!" Yuna sprang up, facing the man as she covered the horizon's shade from the sky. "Homura! You can't do this! This is very disrespectful agai---"

"I can managed" the male said in a voice of authority

The lady sat still, biting her lower lips. Yuna was worried about her friend but she knew that she couldn't do a single thing if he was going to use his power. 

The heaviness between their hearts were kept close and both of them knew the consequences they will take someday. 

When the sun went down, Homura was the first one who stood up, silently heading back to the Mansion like they never talk about such things.

Shiro, On the other hand, was not in the bedroom when Homura arrived. Homura went to the balcony, there was a round glass table with two cushion chairs. The balcony was cozy and comfortable enough for a tea-talk. The green plants on the left side were blooming under the shade of the moonlight. 

Homura leaned to the ledge, his eyes were staring into the east part of the grassy field. The trees not far away are swaying with the chilly wind. Somehow, he felt cold and empty.

Shiro was like those blood sucking creatures aiming for weak innocent people, but he couldn't sense something bad from the kid. Homura believed that the kid was still pure and gentle. 

While he was so lost in his thoughts, his surroundings suddenly lightened up. It was followed by the dim lights circling around him. 

Homura was so amazed, he was stunned. This is so familiar.

The moon was big and bright. It was shining brightly on his face, it was deep blue. 

A shadow from above emerged on his eyes, it played on his vision by slow-motion. The man flew up to him as his red robe swayed gently with his long silvered white hair that was sparkling under the moonlight. He landed where the other male was.

"Y-You.." Homura uttered

Under that half-mask, he smiled. He kneeled down gracefully. He held Homura's palm and kissed it under the moon.

Homura froze, redness leaked all over his face. This is not the first time they made skinship but he can feel how cold his palm is. 

He was totally enchanted by this unknown man for the second time. It was like he was so magical in his eyes. He couldn't even say a word.

Two shadows collided in the balcony when the unknown man grabbed him by the waist. It caused them to share a little space between their faces.

"I have come to get you, my love"

Then with a tap on his forehead, Homura again fell asleep.

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 30%'

***

Long time ago, two kingdoms were united. The clans of brave warriors who are willing to protect its people and an empire powerful enough to secure it's authority. The Curse of distraction was bestowed to one of them, it was passed by the first child of the Adlacevil Kingdom. A curse that only the Ishii Clan can remove. 

The head of the Adlacevil Kingdom one day seeked help from the Ishii Clan, by using their most powerful weapon and a sacrifice; the last curse will fade away from their Empire.

Two kids were destined to each other, their fate was only to kill and to be killed. While they are in their teenage years, dreams and hopes bloom under the warm sunlight one afternoon. The two decided to break the rule by changing it with something safe, it will never hurt anyone. 

The two kingdoms were in so much shock that they didn't even lay time for them to explain, the curse became worse, asking for more than a life. The head of the Ishii Clan asked help from the Adlacevil Empire, but they received hatred and disgust. 

"The hatred must be turned to love!" 

"I will not let my people suffer!"

"Those creatures must be punished for killing innocent people!"

"My people will not do such things!"

"I will seek fair judgement, punish who should be punished!"

Homura groaned, he was still sleepy but managed to open his eyes. Unfamiliar ceiling met his sight. Something was heavy on his chest while his arms were feeling numb. He was wondering so much about the things happening to him so he looked on his side, seeing a familiar figure.

The man was sleeping soundly beside him, he tried to move but the other man squeezed him more. 

{Why am I here? What am I doing here?}

AUTHOR: You are sharing the same bed with a man, both naked

{What??!!!}

"Gahhhhhh!!!!!" he yelled in shock that caused the other man to wake up. Homura quickly grabbed the blanket to cover his body.

"Who are you?! What am I doing here? And why am I naked?!! Did you do something ba---"

The unknown man used his index finger to seal Homura's lips, their faces were closer. Homura was surprised, he saw two eyes. With different colors. The other eye was gold as sunset, while the other one was crimson as red. 

"Is it the eyes under the mask?" Homura thought to himself

The unknown man caressed his plum cherry lips "Homura.." he said, his voice striking the other male as he slightly jolted. A smile stretched his face "It felt good seeing you sleeping with the same bed with me" he said

Homura's face turned hot in an instant as he saw how the man cupping his cheeks smirked, revealing his fangs. 

He managed to push him by the chest "Stay away from me!" he unconsciously screamed 

He almost fell out of the bed. 

Homura was going to stand but the unknown man was fast enough to face him, he crouched down and carried Homura back to bed. "Don't panic, I will not hurt you.." he said

He quickly rolled to the other side of the bed "Are you a vampire?!" 

The unknown man put on his robe, then he walked gracefully towards the window "Should I say,yes?" he parted the curtain, revealing the view of a mountain to Homura's eyes

  "Ehhh?!! It's already morning?!!!!" Homura was in so much panic after remembering the reality waiting for him. Yuna will check him in his room to asked for his attendance in the morning ceremony. 

He watched the unknown man's wide back while his silver white hair danced gracefully through the morning dew. Then he remembered their encountered last night at his balcony. 

"S-Shiro?" Homura uttered

The unknown man smiled as he walked towards Homura, helding his palm once more "Luca, my name is Luca.." he whispered

His voice was so enchanting to ears, his actions are gentle and very soft like he was protecting a delicate treasure.

Homura snapped his senses back "Can you please stop touching me so casually?" he asked

"How couldn't I? You are my treasure.." then Luca smirked

Homura tried to suppress the feelings of having some butterflies inside his stomach by making a straight face "What is your intention?" 

Luca's cunning face turned to an emotionless one "I have a favor to asked" he replied

Homura gulped like it was his last, he could feel the tightening of the atmosphere between them, he secretly clenched the blanket he was holding "W-What is it?"

Luca smirked back, pinning Homura down. He pulled his arms above his head, gripping his wrist. Homura twitched his eyes after feeling the tight grip.

Luca bent down closer to his ears, letting his breath trace the male's neck

"Give me your blood"
