Awakening Desires

Mazigh slowly opened his eyes, greeted by a soft, warm embrace. As he blinked away the remnants of sleep, he realized he was lying in a bed, wrapped in the arms of Erebus, the enigmatic harlequin. Her blonde curls cascaded around them, framing their faces in an intimate closeness.

"Rise and shine, little Gemini," Erebus whispered, her voice a gentle melody in his ears.

Mazigh turned his face to meet hers, their noses almost touching. He felt a surge of anticipation as he gazed into her captivating eyes. "What happened?" he asked, his voice still groggy.

Erebus playfully booped his nose and chuckled. "You passed out, and the Ripper made his grand entrance. You missed quite the performance, little Gemini."

Rubbing his temples, Mazigh winced. "I have the craziest headache. What did you give us to drink?"

Erebus smirked mischievously. "Absinthe and a touch of pure gold. That's how most of the Crows met their demise, poisoned by their own blood. But don't worry, it seems you're either immune to its effects or simply suffering from the absinthe itself."

Mazigh chuckled weakly. "Well, absinthe does feel good. And right now, I think blonde clowns are rather...sexy. They're sort of my thing."

Erebus raised an eyebrow, her blue eyes sparkling with amusement. "Oh, really? Well, it turns out I really do like Geminis."

She leaned in, their lips meeting in a fervent kiss. The world around them faded into the background as their passion ignited, a primal desire taking hold. Their bodies entwined, their movements a dance of pleasure and longing.

Though the details of their intimate encounter remain unspoken, the room was filled with the echoes of their whispered desires and the symphony of their shared ecstasy.

"You are an animal, you know that?" Said Erebus with a satisfied voice.

Mazigh then replied."Have you seen yourself? you were a literal lioness. The burden you hold as an extinct bloodline must have had a toll on you, you little stressed blonde clown. We both needed a stress reliever and we both found it, good for us. Oh, before I forget, what did The Ripper want from Le Cirque Macabre."

"Well, he isn't against our cause, but he definitely has a God complex. He told us to not mingle until he is done with his 7 purified paintings."

"As in the seven heavenly virtues. If he has subdued a bunch of strong vampires and the whole family, what can I do to stop him? Well, the least I can do is to sabotage his plans, for fun."

Harlequin then smiles, satisfied." Well aren't you a stubborn little Gemini, I like that about you."

Afterward, exhausted and sated, they fell into a peaceful slumber, bodies entangled and hearts intertwined.

When Mazigh awoke, he realized with a jolt that he was running late for university.

Harlequin woke up, and looked at him while yawning."Where are you going, little prince?"

He then smiled, got close to her, choked her, and gave her a good fulfilling kiss." The little prince is late for university."

Hastily dressing in his signature white ensemble, he left the apartment, bidding Erebus a quick goodbye.

Mazigh left Erebus in a dreamy state, a bond was created between them, a unique bond, that both didn't understand but it was a bond that gave them goosebumps, the type of goosebumps you feel when you are in danger. Adrenaline, and endorphins both circling through your vessels simultaneously for the ultimate high."

With determination in his eyes, he raced through the bustling streets, pushing himself to make it to the cathedral on time.
