Martha x Vera (Marra)
Coordinator x Perfumer
“What day is it ?”, the question came out of nowhere .
Vera just asked this , and the fact she did really takes Martha aback . The perfumer is a workaholic and always gives no care about her surrounding . Why does the sudden change ? Did she hit her head somewhere too hard or something ?
“Umm , its twenty-nineth october “, Martha looked at the girl sitting across the table ,”Is there something special today ?”
“Year ?”. Vera gave no answer , she kept asking .
“1873″. Being polite , Martha answered .
“So it has been 3 years since it happened “, Vera said,”,time really goes fast “
“It ? Ah , you mean ‘it’ !”, Martha came to her realization . She knows what Vera is referring to .
‘It’ is the wedding tragedy .This day , three years ago , Vera was about to marry a vampire , not by her free will .
“I still remembered about ‘it’ . Three years ago , but ‘it’ feels like yesterday to me “, Vera started to remember about ‘it’ .
The moon shined gloomingly for a dark night . A dark as ink night filled with wind in winter like that was supposed to be cold , but it couldn’t be any colder than the hand of her groom .
He was smiling and looking at her like how a predator looks at its prey in a corner . He had had this place decorated and had his monster friends come here . He had even prepared a fake priest .
At that time , everything was ready for a sacrifice marriage . But not for the bride , she didnt want to be here , she didnt want to marry that filthy bat . She didnt want to die .
“In my desperate time , i almost gave up . If you hadnt turned up with your holy pistol , i must have died there “, Vera gave Martha a meaningful look ,”I owned you my life”
“Ha ha”, understanding all thing she said , Martha gave out two humourless sound to hide her hot feeling inside her body. She is sweating intensely right now . She has no idea how to deal with this emotional circumstance . She trained to fight against monsters and beasts , not an elegant and smelt like white rose lady .
"So , do you. . .want to celebrate this. . .anniversary ?" , Martha asked with caution . Is this the right thing to do at this moment ? She has no idea .
" If i say yes , what will you do ?", Vera smiled quietly .
" I . . .i will dance !" , Martha cant believe what she just said . She is definitely a fluttered mess .
"Dance ?", Vera raised eyebrows . She didnt expect the younger girl to answer .
"Yes , will you dance with me ?", Martha tried to keep her cool . Stood up straight , she gave the perfumer a hand , invited her to join .
"It will be my pleasure !" , Vera took her hand .
Turn on the gramophone, the music is Pretend by Joker Studio , the perfect song for a slow dance .
They moved in sync with the melodies and with each other under the bright moonlight. Such a better couple that even the moon agrees with .
" Other people used to tell me that lov. . .no , all those things could only happen between men and women , but you know what ?", one more question also came out of nowhere . Vera is sure to be talkative today .
"We could do that just fine ?", Martha is uncertain about the answer . Her instinct tells her something is coming . From the older girl .
" Yes , we could do that just fine . You and i could do that , just fine ", Vera leans in closer with every words she said , until there are nothing between them .
