Ayo Haruko 🎧

The Wanted Criminal Lumiere,

The Evol Officer,

The Ordinary Hunter Xavier,

And finally, the Prince of Philos.

Those are the titles he's earned over the years his been on earth, he earned these titles and treated them as past versions of himself.

'Killing' himself over and over again to be reincarnated into a new version of himself despite not changing his name. Xavier.

But it was all worth it.... Worth It for you.

"You traitor! How could you do this to us!" A gruff voice yells as if struggling to breathe.

Xavier stays silent as the men; or formally known as his once teammate, berate him.

Calling him hurtful names as he slowly approaches the man who had dark purple crystals growing on his body. Xavier then summons his sword.

"All you had to do was take the girls heart; whether by force or willingly.... Is she more special than your own teammates? Her majesty will surely ACK-" The man suddenly coughs blood as his whole body gets covered in those dark crystals and he looks at Xavier in the eyes as he spoke his final words.

"If this is truly the path you have set for yourself then you have truly betrayed our people... and our...Queen...." He's words slowly died out as he froze but then let out a mighty roar as his whole body morphs into a wanderer and sprints to Xavier in an almost inhumane speed.

But of course; he wasn't as swift as Xavier was, so he was quickly impaled with Xavier's sword..... disappearing into particles.

Xavier sighs and wipes the dust on his cheek, he takes out his phone from his pocket to text you that he'll be at your place shortly; to which you responded with an okay emoji with a heart.

He smiled at your reply and quickly teleported to Jeremiah's flower shop to make a bouquet for you.

"Xavier!? Hah... You should really start using the front door to enter, you scared me." Jeremiah said as he held his fast beating heart at the entrance Xavier did.

Xavier shrugged and walks past Jeremiah to make the special bouquet.

"Xavier! At least tell me why... nevermind." He sighs and walks over to Xavier's side to help him in making the bouquet.

Jeremiah quickly knew that it was for you as Xavier held that soft look in his eyes while selecting the flowers, it brought back memories when you guys were back at the academy and he wasn't going to lie and say that he didn't miss those days and their home.

"Jeremiah?" He quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Xavier saying his name. He looked at Xavier who was holding a handful of baby's-breath.

"What do these mean in flower language again?" He asked, not breaking eye contact with Jeremiah.

"They often represent sincerity, purity, and love but most commonly everlasting love..." As he speaks his voice got softer and eyes distant.

"Hm... I'll add this to the bouquet along with the pink camellias, as well as the pink and white carnations." Xavier said with you in thought.

Jeremiah simply nodded and went to his table to arrange the bouquet and made sure for Xavier to instruct him with the color theme.

After a few minutes he had finished the bouquet and handed it over to Xavier carefully and refusing the payment Xavier was offering.

Xavier walks out the doors of Philos as Jeremiah watches him with sad eyes.... Maybe Xavier will finally settle down here on Earth just like his going to as well.

Jeremiah wishes for his friends happiness. Xavier deserves it.

You sigh in relief as you finished preparing the ingredients for you and Xavier's little hotpot date. Since it was the weekend; you both decided to spend it together, starting by having hotpot for dinner.

The sound of your apartment door opening made you smile as it was a signal that your boyfriend was finally home, you heard his footsteps behind you and felt his soft arms embrace you from behind.

You giggle as his breath tickle your neck as he nuzzles in.

You then felt something soft close to your clothed stomach and as you looked down you saw an elegant looking bouquet.....

Xavier then released you from his warm arms and offered you the bouquet... "For you." He said with that charming smile of his.

I blushed slightly and took the bouquet from him; muttering a 'thank you' loud enough for him to hear.

I bring the flowers up to my nose and sigh at the fresh smell of the petals, I looked up at Xavier again and smiled warmly at him.

"So this is why you took quite sometime~" I teased as I sat the flowers down the side of the dinner table, deciding to fix it later.

Xavier looks down bashfully and I just coo at his bashfulness, "Let's start the hotpot now, I'm hungry from the waiting you made me endue." I said as I start the fire so the soup can start boiling.

"Sorry, I had to deal with something along the way....." He responded as he sat across from me. I nod knowingly and held my chopsticks.

"Let's eat, I'm sure you're hungry too." I said offering him a piece of wagyu, he smiled and just like that. We were having a great time.

"Ugh... I am stuffed." I said with a sigh as I rub my tummy in circles, we were both seating on the couch; fully in a food coma.

"Hey.... wanna go out for a walk in the park?" I heard Xavier say and I opened my eyes to look at him who was looking back at me too.

I thought for a moment and agreed, since we were both really full; a nice walk should digest all the food properly right?

"Great, let's go."

As we walk throughout the park for a whole six minutes, we decided to take a sit on a bench to look at the full moon and stars.

"I always wondered if the stars we're seeing are planets too." I said not looking away from the night sky.

"There is one that I know is a planet." He said and I broke my focus with the night sky to focus on him and he stayed looking at the night sky.

"The planets name is Uluru... It's a small but livable planet filled with big fields of flowers." As he fished speaking, I saw a spark of longing in those baby blue eyes of his.

"It... must be a beautiful planet, I mean any type of planet filled with flowers should be beautiful and breathtaking...." I said, looking back at the night sky and away from him as he continues to look as well.

A moment of silence settles as we both admire the stars lighting up the night sky.

Wait....

"Wasn't a meteor shower supposed to happen today?" I said quickly turning my gaze to his; who was also looking at me.

"Yes. That's why I took you here at this hour since its supposed to start in a few minutes." Xavier explained as my jaw slightly drops.

I was about to say something back but in the corner of my eye I saw something falling from the sky and as if in slow motion, I turned my head to look at the now bright sky....

"Its... so beautiful..." I whisper out in awe. The shooting stars was bright and you were sure you looked like an idiot whose eyes were sparkling.

Xavier smiled as he sees you admiring the shooting stars, he looked at the show too but with a hint of sadness...

After twenty minutes the show was over and the sky was empty again, you both decided to go back home as you were getting really sleepy so Xavier offered to piggy back ride you home and even when you insisted he still carried you.

You nuzzled your face into his neck, his cologne making you relax.

Xavier was speaking but his words were all a blur as your eyes closed and the tiredness from today consumed you into a peaceful slumber.

Xavier heard the soft sores and just smiled and since you were asleep, he decided to teleport you both to your apartment and then settled you down on your soft, plush bed.

He kneeled down on the side of your bed and looked at you with so many emotions present in his eyes, all the while stroking the side of your face in a soft manner.

"You.... really haven't changed a whole lot, you're still the same back at Philos." He said still stroking your face.

You, obviously not answering him, he continues to speak.

"I am happy that you enjoyed the meteor shower, after all... it was my promise for us to watch the shooting stars fall right?" He knows that your deep asleep and won't reply yet he still continues.

"....I Love You...." Xavier lowered his face close to your sleeping one and left a soft lingering kiss on your forehead, he got on his feet and looked at you one last time before teleporting to his apartment.

You didn't even know when Xavier dropped you on your bed since he didn't wake you up, but you texted him a good morning as you planned on just staying at home to clean around.

"Xavier, thanks for helping me grow these marigolds. You can take some with you to give to Y/n as a thank you." Jeremiah said as he took a handful of the golden flowers and handed it over to Xavier who nodded his head in gratitude.

"Are you sure you... still want to find a way to fix our ship?" Jeremiah asked his friend who was now watering the other plans.

Xavier stayed silent for a few seconds before answering with a hint of nonchalantness.

"It's our mission right? So we should fulfill it." He answered and Jeremiah bit his bottom lip before continuing to question Xavier's actions.

"But I thought you wanted to stay here with her? Is there really more reasons to go back to our home when everything seems more content here?" Jeremiah knew he was being stupid with these baseless questions but he was more confused with Xavier's actions.

Xavier stayed silent, he knew what to answer yet he didn't feel like answering. "I'll head out now, thanks for the marigolds." Jeremiah was about to call him out but only specks of light can be seen as Xavier teleports away.

Jeremiah sighs and runs a hand threw his hair in frustration.... how could he not be frustrated? His friend was clearly hiding things from him. His just worried... after all. He cherishes Xavier a lot....

Xavier teleports back to the place you both watched the meteor shower last night, he sits on the bench and watches the sunset as the moon and stars slowly appear, making the skies colors clash.

He thinks back to the time you both were watching the shooting stars together on that day, when he made his vow and promise.

Xavier found you but at what cause? He still needed your heart since he hasn't found another cure to the problem and he was slowly forgetting what the 'You' looked and sounded like back home...

Xavier closed his eyes as a memory plays.

"You don't have to treat me like I'm made of glass ya know~" You said teasingly as he patches up the wound you got from sparring with him.

"I'm just helping my partner, nothing else." He replied shorty.

"Alright... Thanks Xavier.."

Another memory plays.

"Your Majesty, our ship will be leaving shortly... will you be attending the blast off ceremony?" He asks, not looking into your eyes as he stays bowed; a sign of respect.

"..... No need." He heard you reply coldly. He felt his heartbreak yet he just nods and walks away from your throne.

He was doing this for you after all. So, why do you seem so... upset?

"Xavier? I knew I'd find you here!" He opened his eyes quickly and looked to his side to see you standing happily.

"Jeremiah called me and said you guys had a little argument so he wanted me to check up on you." You said, sitting down beside him as he just kept his gaze fixed at you.

"Whats wrong? Did you both fight over something serious?" You ask and Xavier shakes his head and looked at the now night sky.

You stayed silent and waited for Xavier to speak first as you felt like he didn't need you to ask questions on what happened..

"You... you love me right?" Your eyes widened at the sudden question and quickly responded. "Of course I do, silly!" I quickly responded and in mere seconds I felt warm yet firm arms wrap around me with his face snuggled in my neck.

"Xavier... hon, did something happen that wasn't related to Jeremiah..?" You ask hesitantly as worry slowly sets in because of his sudden action.

He doesn't release you from his arms yet moves far enough to meet your face and look at you in the eyes with an emotion you couldn't quite dissect.

"Would you wait for me? If I suddenly disappear without question?"

"Xavier what are you-"

"Answer me Y/n... please tell me... you would- will."

I stared at him in disbelief, shock and confusion present; As I think over a proper answer even with the countless of questions spawning inside my brain.

After a good minute I finally open my mouth to answer.

"Of course I'd wait for you. Xavier.. when I got to know you, I've always felt as if we've met before, as if I've known you for so long but just couldn't remember.." I said and I saw his eyes sparkle.

He then smiled and leaned in and you felt his lips on top of yours as he kissed you passionately yet full of greed and longing.

I closed my eyes as we kissed under the bright night sky.

This kiss was different, it feels different....

Why do I feel scared all of a sudden?

Why do I feel scared of suddenly losing him when his right beside me?

It's as if, I've felt the lost of losing him.... But his here with me so why...

Suddenly, a memory flashes you're sight.

"Xavier! Wanna watch the meteor shower that'll be happening next week together?" A girl dressed in a schools uniform said and as you focused more you could make the girl to be... yourself..

"Sorry. I can't." The guy beside her was familiar too... It was Xavier.

You felt your vision twist as the scenery changes into the night sky that was lit up by shooting stars, but instead of focusing on the shooting stars you were focused on Xavier.

Who seemed to be holding you who looked so.. pale and on.. the blink of death.

"I... wish- *coughs* *coughs* I wish for us to... watch the...s...shooting stars.. fa-fall a...g.a..in.." You were witnessing yourself dying in Xavier's arms.

"Don't worry, in your next life we'll see this sight again, you'll be in my arms again. I'll find you, even if I end up losing everything else- as long as I have you.. safe. I'll find you. I promise."

Your eyes widened as you finally remembered this life.

"Why... are you crying?" He asks as he wipes the tears storming down your face all the while still having you locked tight inside his arms.

"I'm... I'm so sorry for forgetting you Xavier." I whimper out as I sob and nuzzle into his hand that was holding my left cheek.

Xavier smiles at this and nuzzles his nose into yours.

"You don't have to be sorry, I was fortunate enough to meet you in this life, the past and future or even the next one." As he said those words I sobbed even harder.

I can't believe I've been so blind not to notice Xavier's struggles...

"Are you... going to leave me?" I asked as I opened my eyes to stare into his as we have our foreheads bumped together.

"Not right now, it'll take me a long time to return back to my original timeline." He said rubbing my still wet stained cheek.

After I calmed down, he explains to me how he was from the future and came back in time with a bunch of people to help us not end up like the people from the future.

Xavier was still being vague about it but I was happy he was opening up regardless.

A day turned into weeks, months then years as I helped Jeremiah and Xavier as much as I could despite having nightmares about the day when he eventually leaves me.

So when that day finally came, I somehow didn't cry. No, I felt numb.

As we said our final 'I Love You's', goodbyes and have our final kiss. I watched their spaceship disappear into the night sky as I process all the years me and Xavier have had been together.

Those memories suddenly felt so blurry.

I fall to my knees as I felt the tears fall down my face as I finally broke down after processing the reality of losing Xavier.

"A star came down for you after all."

"As long as I have you as my partner I have nothing to worry about."

"Our little planet Uluru."

"I only want to be with you."

"I Love You."

The loving words Xavier tells you comes crashing back to you like a never ending storm that rips your heart apart, it was like you lost something that was apart of you.

It was as if; You were the one who left him.

"My... My Star has left me."

"Come back..."

"COME BACK TO ME."

While I was walking my hunters watch went off, and it seemed like the wanderer was near where I was so I quickly went to the location and saw it being taken care of none other then Xavier.

He turned towards me and softly smiled at me.... however I didn't return any soft or gentleness he showed towards me as I spoke in a cold, hallow tone.

"Where were you?"

I asked clenching my fists, the plastic wrinkling.

"I... had to take care of some important stuff, sorry... I tried to go and catch up but I was too lat-"

"How could you be so careless?"

I asked, now my voice spitting with venom as I glared at him.

"This is always the problem with you Xavier! You're so distant and secretive that sometimes I don't even know you anymore... I don't even know if I'm.... of I'm even as important as you say I am"

"I... didn't know you felt that way.... i.. didn't't mean to be so ignorant.."

"Save it Xavier... I'm too tired to deal with you right now."

I was such a jerk yesterday.... I can't believe I let my anger out on Xavier like that.

He has always been so patient and understanding with me and I go and scream at him almost like i... i...... I don't love him....

"Hey hey heyy! Earth to Y/n~! You alright?" I heard Tara ask beside me.

"Sorry.. yea I'm fine, I'll head home first alright?" I responded and we both said our goodbyes to each other.

As the elevator doors open, I was shocked to see Xavier sitting next to my apartment door and he was..... snoring?

I quickly shake him awake.

As he rubs his eyes and looks up at me while still being drowsy, I sigh and help him up as we both enter my apartment.

I sat him on the couch and go to get some warm tea for him.

After we both settled down and he was wide awake we both sat in silence..

"Are you.... still upset with me?" Xavier asked, breaking the silence.

"No.. I'm not, it was irrational for me to get upset at you for the first place..." I responded, looking down at the cup filled with tea I held in my hand.

"But.. I can't help but still be upset with you." I said, now turning my gaze towards him.

"I can't help but feel as if I'm... unimportant to you.. I can't help but feel as if...... you don't love me." My lips quivered as I uttered those words.

After a brief silence of me looking at his figure, he finally spoke.

"I didn't mean to make you feel that way.... i.." He seemed as if he was thinking about his words before saying them to me.

"You've got it wrong i... I do love you and you are important to me- so much so that I can't help but think about you all the time..."

He looked directly into my eyes as he spoke those words as I looked back into his.

"I feel frustrated at the fact that I have to keep secrets from you just to protect you...."

"You know I'm then capable of taking care of myself right? Xavier I just want you to be honest with me and show me all of you."

I said, my cup now sat at the table as I moved closer to Xavier.

"Why are you keeping half of yourself from me!? Am I that unworthy and untrustworthy? Xavier i... please just tell me-"

"Because I don't want to lose you again."

"H u h . . . . ?"

"Because. I don't want to lose you again."

"Again? What? What are you..."

"I... I can't explain everything to you right now but... I'm doing this to protect you because I LOVE you."

He pulled me into a hug and I felt his breathe tickle my neck as he nuzzles into it.

"Please... please don't force me in saying it... I can't lose you... I just can't.." He saids in a broken tone as he tightens his hold on me.

I contemplate for a bit and wrapped my arms around him and closed my eyes to breath in his familiar scent.

"Ok. Just promise me you'll tell me everything when you're ready."

He nods and we both decided to sleep on the couch tonight.

The next morning me and Xavier were back to normal, as if we never have fought....

As much as I want to press him for the truth I'll back off.

He'll tell me when his ready.

. . . . . . . . .

"I love you My Star" He whispers to the young woman's ear as she drifts off to sleep.

"Thanks for taking over!" I yelled over to my colleague as I happily skipped over to my motorcycle and rode back to my apartment.

Me and Zayne had planned to dine/have dinner at a new restaurant that specialized in sweetened foods!

I quickly got ready and got a message from Zayne saying that I should head over first, so I did and walked to the restaurant as it was quite near my building.

As I entered the restaurant I was led to me and Zayne's reserved sit, I smiled excitedly as I was given a menu.

However, since Zayne wasn't here yet I ordered a strawberry smoothie and just pulled out my phone from my pocket to scroll mindlessly on Lintok. (A.n: Seemed funnier in my head sorry-)

. . . . . . . . . . .

Its been a whole hour and he still wasn't here......

I tried calling his phone and bombarding him with messages but to no avail..

I calmed myself down and waited....

And waited.....

And Waited....

And Waited...

And.....

W a i t e d..

I started feeling the anger build up inside of me as I got up and left the restaurant, heading straight to Akso Hospital.

"Yvonne, is Zayne inside his office?"

"Y/n! Doctor Zayne is in fact in his office, he actually just finished a surge-"

I walked away as soon as she answered my question, almost sprinting to his office.

"-surgery... y/n?" Yvonne sighed as he leaned back on her chair, as a fellow nurse giggled behind her.

"It seems like Doctor Zayne has found himself in a pickle."

Yvonne sighs again and looked at the direction of their Cardiac Doctors office with a face filled with pity.

"He does."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

3 knocks was heard as the famous cardiac surgeon/doctor was working on his computer with his usual stoic face on as he mindlessly asked the person who knocked to come in.

Only when he saw your figure enter did his face softened at the sight of you, but It son faded as you looked at him with sorrowful eyes.

Concerned, he stood up from his desk and walked towards you in a slow manner but you seemed to back away from him.

"..... Darling? Whats the matter?" He asked as he continued to look at you with genuine concern.

You winced as it seems like Zayne had forgotten your date.... again.

Yes. This wasn't the first time that Zayne forgot dates.

"You forgot again." I said as I looked up into his pretty orbs that I loved to stare at so much.

I watched as the realization hits his face.

I watched as he uncomfortably shifts around before setting his gaze at me with an unreadable emotion present on his face.

"I.." He stops midway and seeing this I just clench my fists together and made sure to give him a piece of my mind... and heart.

"Zayne, this has been happening too recently... I feel like you're trying to slip away from me." I said but I swallowed the rest of the wards that itched to come out.

"I'll... I'll make it up to you. I have the day this coming weekend, I apologize. The patients of Akso Hospital had increased over the weeks and we became understaffed.. I didn't mean to-"

"Stop.. just stop it Zayne." I turned my back on him as I felt my eyes burning.

"I think... we need a break from each other.. at least until you have enough time for me." I opened the door and preceded to walk away from his office.

. . . .

Zayne stayed standing at the same spot you had left him for an hour. Thinking about the events that had occurred.

He decided that he didn't want you both to end it like this- even if you said 'taking a break' he just didn't want to.

So he clocked out quickly, got in his car and drove straight to your house; hoping that you both could solve this by having a conversation... but if you don't want that the, I guess he really screwed up big time huh..

After finding a parking spot for his car, he made sure to buy flowers first (Your favorite ones of course) along with a heartfelt apology.

. . . . .

You plopped down on your comfy bed and closed your eyes in exhaustion.... however, your mind started drifting to the events that happened an hour ago.

Were you too harsh?

Did you do the right thing?

Were you selfish for not understanding Zayne's situation more?

Those were the type of thoughts swirling through your head as you desperately tried to get some sleep.

After sometime of you still not being able to get some sleep, you grabbed your phone from your desk and opened your boyfriends cell number, staring at the nickname and picture you set for him.

You pondered on whether you should call him or not...

After giving it some thought- you decided that why not? But as your finger hovered the call bottom the doorbell of your apartment rang.

Blinking confusingly, you set your door back down to its original place and walked outside your bedroom to the front door.

Looking into the peephole, you were shocked to see Zayne- holding... flowers... Jasmines to be more specific.

I unlocked the door and opened it wide, he briefly looked surprised for a moment.

"Zayne.. why are you here? I though that the hospital needed you." I said, my own voice betraying me as it came out in a bitter tone.

"Could i...come in?" He asked and I thought about it moment before sighing and stepping aside to let him in.

He ushered a 'thank you' to me as he walked inside my apartment.

I instructed him to sit down on the couch as I make tea for him and me. I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw him deep in thought.

I gave him the tea and sat down beside him, I let a few moments pass before I speak.

"I-" "Plea-"

"................"

"You go first.." I said sipping my tea as he cleared his throat.

"Please accept these Jasmines that I grew inside of my office" He said as he nudged the Jasmines towards me.

I hesitantly took the freshly looking Jasmines from him and let out a meek 'Thank you'

"And please also... accept my apologies, even if I know that I'm undeserving of it-"

"Zayne plea-"

"You don't deserve this-"

"Zayne.. I should be the one to apologize."

He looked stunned for a moment and was about to refuse my statement but I spoke before he could.

"You always made time for me, I just... I just didn't realize nor have I seen it.... You were always there for me not only as my physical physician but also as the... love of my life." I said clenching my heart as I let out this confession of mines.

"Could i... hug you?" I almost let out a sigh of relief as I nod and wrap my arms around him tightly.

"Can I be... selfish tonight, my love?" He said our faces inches away from each other.

I slowly nod as our faces got closer and closer...till our noses touches... our breathes and finally...

Our lips touch and It eventually evolves into a deep and passionate one.

"I took a day off tomorrow, so we won't have to worry about sleeping in or waking up late..." He said as he breaths heavily.

I blush but smile slightly.... maybe me and Zayne will be alright...

As she drifts away into a deep sleep against his chest, he swiftly bridal carries her and walked inside her room to setting her on her bed, tucking her in nice and warm- leaving a warm forehead kiss reserved just for her.

He gently sits himself on her bed and looks at her with warm, softened eyes as he began caressing her hair.

"I... love you more than anything. My Jasmine"

"I won't let this mistake of mines happen again.

"You ready Rafayel?" I asked as I make sure my makeup was perfect.

"Just a second!" He said, his voice echoing inside the bathroom.

I sigh and get up and walked towards the bathroom door, leaning against the door.

"You sure are taking awhile..." I said a nonchalant expression present on my face as I saw him with his shirt unbutton as he turned towards with a smug smirk on.

"Thomas and you said that I should look as formal as possible for the auction so I am just taking my time to make sure I do look good~"

"Your just making sure we're late enough to miss the entire event aren't you?"

"...... Ugh- why are you siding with Thomas by the way? I'm your boyfriend... not him!" Said by the artist, pouting at me and crossing is arms.

I shook my head and turned around from him, planning to just text Thomas that maybe me and Rafayel would be late but I felt two strong arms wrap around me.

"Rafayel...?"

"You smell nice..."

"Stop kidding around and just hurry up-"

"I'm not kidding you do smell nice!

He turned me around to look at him and I blushed at our closeness and the look he gave me.....

"You also look... gorgeous" He said, smiling down at me.

"Hurry up so we can go.. you goofy fish." I said and boop his nose as he chuckles and went inside the bathroom.

I sigh and tried my best to fan my face, as it was hot and probably red.

After a few minutes Rafayel was finally finished and we both drove to the auction place via Rafayel's sports car.

"Rafayel! Good that you're here... some potential buyers wanna meet you, could you spare them a moment?" Thomas yelled as he walked towards us as we both entered inside.

Rafayel looked at me for confirmation, I nod and he was led away by Thomas to the other side of the room.

I sat down by the bar and asked a drink for myself, as the bartender put my drink in front of me; I took my purse out to pay for it.

"Here. I'll pay for the lady." I heard someone say beside me.

I quickly looked to the person sitting beside me. It was a man, seeming to be in his late 30s.

I force a smile on my face as I thank him for his 'Kindness'.

"You really are beautiful in person... even from across the room" He said as he scanned me up and down.

I swift uncomfortably and take a sip of my drink, remaining silent as I silently prey that this man would just leave me alone.

"Not a talker? Didn't expect that as you were all but smiley when you were with that famous artist. Rafayel."

"...."

"Still not gonna talk sweetheart? Well I-"

"What do you want with Rafayel..?" I cut him off and glare at him slightly.

He chuckles as he leans closer to my face and lets his neck words out in a whisper.

"You see, I want that painting for myself. However, Thomas said that it's an auction so I should just... fight for it when the auction starts."

I urge him to go on as I lean even closer, as the music was starting to get too loud.

"I'm willing to pay a great sum of money for that painting without even bidding..." He said and his next words bought me chills on my spine.

"And I'm willing to pay to have you as my own as well."

I quickly get up from my sit but he grabbed me by the arm and chuckles.

"I'm not letting my prey get away that easily..." He said darkly.

I was about to kick him when a hand grabs his that was on my arm, it was Rafayel! I almost fall back but was caught by the arms by Thomas that was behind me.

I saw Rafayel gripping the mans arm hard as he cries from pain.

"Rafayel! Let the guards handle this, we shouldn't create a-"

Rafayel throws the man on the ground and grabbed me away from Thomas.

Thomas calls for Rafayel, saying that the auction isn't over yet but I doubt he'd want to go back there.

I stare back at Thomas, silently apologizing as me and Rafayel walks over to his car.

Driving back to his place, it was quiet- painfully quiet.

As we come to a stop, he opens the passenger sits door and grabs me by the wrist; pulling me out of the car in a rough manner.

"Rafayel! You're gripping onto me too hard!" I yelled but he ignored my cries and took me to the bathroom.

I watched as he turned the bathtubs tap on.

"Ra...Rafayel?"

"Get in."

"Huh?"

He then tried to get me in the bathtub that was already overflowing, "Rafayel! ..... Stop!" I yelped as my legs hit the front of the tub and I fell into the tub, I closed my eyes as I felt the warm water embracing my whole body.

I coughed and rubbed my eyes as my glared at the man who was on top of me, I guess he also fell inside the tub as his clothes were wet as well.

"What is.. WITH YOU RAFAYEL!?" I yelled angrily at him, my eyes burning from the water and my frustrated tears.

"You let him get close to you Y/n! Now you smell like him and it.. it infuriates me!" He argued back at me with emotions I couldn't understand.

I scoffed at this.

"How could you be so childish? Not only did you underestimate me, you also made a scene! Thomas must be running around like a deer in headlights because of that stun you did." I said, breaking heavily.

Rafayel silently got off the tub and walked away, as I tried to processed the whole situation.

After a couple hours had passed, and me putting on some more comfortable clothes that I had left in Rafayel's place just in case.

I decided to try and look for him as I haven't seen him in the last couple of hours, just as I was about to give up I saw the bathroom door slightly ajar.

I peeked inside and saw Rafayel inside the tub, half naked and surrounded by water, his eyes were closed and he seemed relaxed.

I slowly walked inside and kneel beside the tub, I brought my hand to his cheek brushed the flesh slowly.

A lot of things were swirling inside my mind, i... obviously want to apologize for my behavior but.... I was also upset at him for not even considering his reputation.

I sigh softly and was about to bring my hand back to my side but a cold hand firmly gripping mines keeps it in place.

"Rafayel?"

He opens his eyes and we both stare at each other for a good minute.

"I... Rafayel, could you get freshened up? I need to talk to you."

"Why not talk here?"

"Your in the bathtub, I want us to talk seriously."

"I don't want to get out yet."

Ugh.. every so stubborn.

I sigh and got up from my kneeling position but he still wouldn't let go of my hand....

"Rafayel... I can't do this with you right now, please jus-" My sentence was cut short as I let up a small scream, pulling me inside the tub with him; soaking the clothes I had just wore a couple hours ago.

"Rafayel! Ugh... now my clothes are-"

"You wanted to talk right? Let's talk."

I gave up and let him position me properly on his lap.

"I'm sorry for the words I said earlier.. I was just... upset with what you did even if I should have thanked you for saving me." I looked down aka away from him as I couldn't bear to look him in the eyes to save myself the embarrassment.

"Hmph. Good thing you realized." He said and I pouted at his response as I thought he would be more grateful at my apology.

"But I know I'm wrong as well." I looked up at him in surprise at this as I didn't expect it from him.

"I know that my actions hurt you, cutie." He gently stroked my cheek with his cold fingers.

"I let the passion and my desires take over me, turning me into a beast thats possessive of you." I gasped as he bites the end of my palm, pulling me closer to him.

"Shouldn't you take responsibly? And make me feel... better?"

He whispered against my lips as our faces inch closer and closer....

Our lips touch and danced in a soundless rhyme, our hearts beating in harmony- both loud and fast.

I put both my hands on his chest and slowly push me away from my lips even if I knew we were both hungry for more.

He presses his forehead against mines and the other noises that can be heard is our heavy breathing and maybe even our beating hearts.

I sigh as he then presses his head deep inside my neck, his hands caressing my sides.

"You still... have that lout's scent on you, and thats a problem."

"Ra...Rafayel.."

"Don't worry, cutie. I'll make it up to you for making you upset."
