Sun and Moon

A/N: So yeah, it’s been years since I last write something but yeah, Tears of Themis happened lol (I was around 16 years old when I last did a fanfic). I was so emotionally invested with Luke/Xia Yan/Natsuhiko that it forced me to write something. And yeah, I hope ya guys forgive me for this sloppy writing TwT (P.S. Some minor spoilers)

- Your home - “Answer me please” You tried to dial a certain number on your contacts several times now but the other end’s not picking up. Your multiple attempts are all basically fails and you’re starting to lose hope. The once clear sky minutes ago begins to darken as thick clouds form, indicating a heavy downpour but you didn’t notice at all.

“The person you are calling is unavailable at the moment.”

Another attempt to contact but still no response. Desperation’s getting into you as time goes by. You’re now thinking of any place where he might be. He must be somewhere the two of you shared a lot of memories with. The aquarium? His apartment? You’re starting to become more agitated as tears continuously fall to your cheeks. Suddenly, a certain person came into your mind that can help you.

“Sphinx. He must know!”

Without hesitation, you dialed his number in a flash. He answered your call in a few seconds. After a few minutes, you finally know where your childhood friend is. You hurriedly grabbed your things, together with the letter he just gave you, and went your way towards your old home. You should’ve known. That’s the place where the both of you shared a lot, the place where you grew up together, where you first met. All you can think of right now is him. You need to talk to him; you need to let him know how you feel. 

-  Old home’s attic -

Nostalgia suddenly hit Luke as he opened the door. The furniture, the picture frames, everything. They’re still the same as he remembered before he left. A small smile formed into his lips as he starts to wander around the attic. There are still pictures of him and you neatly placed at the shelves. Luke’s smile widened as he reminisces your childhood moments together. 

- flashback - “Say, Luke…” A certain brunette looked at your direction, slightly tilting his head in response to your call. You’re both doing your homework diligently just so you can play after. “Yeah?”

You put your pen down after writing the last answer on your sheet, then gave your full attention to your childhood friend. “What do you want to become when you grow up?” The brunette gave a slight confused look at you. “Why did you suddenly ask me that?” “Well, I want to be an attorney one day!” You said as you gave him your usual warm smile. His cheeks displayed a hint of pink but he shrugged it off before you even noticed. “That’s nice. But why an attorney though. Don’t they send bad guys to jail?” “That’s the point!” You stood up from your chair, putting your hands together and your eyes full of glee. “I do think attorneys are amazing! They defend good people and they help in punishing the bad guys! And also, I want to protect you, mom and dad when I grow up~!” You gave Luke a playful flick on his forehead without warning, giving him a grin. “It’s because you always get into trouble!” He immediately retorted to your statement, still holding the are of his forehead you flicked, pretending that it hurts. “Hey! I said I’m sorry!” His cheeks are kind of puffed, which you find cute. Seconds later, you both begin to laugh. “So, what do you want to become when you grow up?” Luke put his hand on his chin, as if he’s thinking thoroughly. You patiently wait for his response and seconds later, he finally talked. “I want to be a superhero!” With that unexpected answer, your head tilted to one side. “But why? I mean, we both know that superpowers don’t really exist.” “Well… I want to protect you all the time…” He scratched his cheeks as he utters the words, putting a slight tint on your cheeks as well. Realizing what he just said, he faced the other direction to hide his embarrassment. The both of you remained silent for a couple of minutes when Luke decided to break the ice. “Or maybe, I can become a detective! Like Sherlock!” You looked at him to see his wide smile. You can feel his sincerity as you looked at his coral orbs. Smile formed into your lips again as you speak. “Mhhm. And then I can be your Watson. Sherlock has Watson, you have me!” The both of you shared a gaze, as if making a pact already. “Yeah! You’ll be my Watson from now on!” “And you’ll be my Sherlock…” “And together, we will make our dreams come true!” You said in unison as you both sealed your promise with your pinkie fingers. 

- End Flashback - 

“You really did become a lawyer, and I became a detective.” He smiled; thoughts of your childhood still linger on his mind. Within those eight years of separation, you both endured life on different paths. Luke tightens his grip on the picture frame of both of you, playing mindlessly on a beach. “Things won’t be just like before. I’ll do this for your own good. I hope you understand…”He put down the frame exactly how it was when he grabbed it. He was about to wander around more when he realized something. “She’s probably awake right now. And by this time, you must’ve already received the letter. “Silence prevailed in the room. His frown keeps on deepening though as time passed by. He then started to pace back and forth inside the room. “She’s probably looking for me right now. She’s probably sad.” Contemplating his actions, you noticed that the sky’s turning grayer. Dense clouds covering the sun rapidly. “It’s going to rain hard at this point. Even an umbrella would be useless.” And Luke was right. Heavy rain started to fall, making him more fretful. He immediately grabbed his phone, turning off his airplane mode. All of your missed calls immediately bombarded his call records after. He was about to call your number when a call suddenly popped. It was from you.  - On the road – It was already raining cats and dogs, roads barely visible to the naked eye. You’re running endlessly towards your destination, not caring about your surrounding at all. You forgot to bring your umbrella but you still continued your journey. A lot of questions and what ifs run through your head right now, and only one person can put an end on your bad thoughts. “Why?” Tears started to cloud your vision further. You tried wiping them away but it’s just becoming worse. Your tears are now mixing with the raindrops falling from the tips of your hair down to your face. “We promised not to keep anything from each other! “ Your pace gradually decreases as more tears flow from your eyes. You eventually stopped running; head faced down as you became more soaked from the rain. “I should’ve noticed sooner….” So many emotions filled your heart right now. Sadness? Happiness? Fear? Regrets? Those are the only ones you can recognize from the pool of intense emotions that’s filling you up right now. “I like you too, you idiot.” And with that, you ball yourself in the middle of the rain, letting out all the pent-up pressure in your chest. Luckily for you, there was no one nearby, giving you a sense of privacy. But minutes later, you decided to move forward and meet Luke to settle things all at once. Fortunately, you’re just a few steps away from your old house. You heart starts to beat faster as if it wants to break free from your chest. When you finally reached the yard of your home, you decided to give Luke another call despite the heavy rain.  -  Old home’s attic – “I just hope she’s alright. I won’t forgive myself if…” Luke shook his thoughts off as he immediately answered the call, concern evident on his face.
