I DON'T KNOW
"I'm so happy after a long time Lys," Mrs. Nevermore smiled at Lysandre, though Lysandre smiled back as a reply deep inside he was nervous as he was waiting for someone or something so eagerly from the moment he woke up.Morning moved gently through Nevermore Mansion.There was no thunder to announce it, no lightning tearing through the sky, only pale sunlight slipping through tall windows, painting the stone walls gold and softening the shadows left behind by the night’s chaos.Christian stood near the window of Adrian’s room, adjusting the sleeve of his shirt absently.His body felt… fine.Too fine, there's not even a single ache, he couldn't feel any storm beneath his skin.No buzzing pressure in his chest, it almost frightened him more than the pain had.Adrian stood a few steps behind him, watching in silence. He hadn’t spoken much since the last conversation he had with Christian in the morning, only observed, as if afraid that sound alone might shatter this fragile calmness.M
AM I REALLY OKAY NOW?
"Whoosh!" Soft wind with gentle rays showed the signs that morning has arrived quietlyNo thunder, no lightning, no pain either, everything was peaceful in between four walls, there's no signs of any danger or awakenings anymore, all of a sudden it's very silent.Christian woke to the unfamiliar weight of warmth and silence.For a few seconds, he didn’t move as he couldn't remember anything at that moment, he simply lay there, staring at the ceiling, confused by how calm his body felt. No ache in his chest, no buzzing under his skin, no storm clawing to get out, it was like nothing ever happened to him, "Am I really okay now?"The question felt unreal.He slowly turned his head, and froze immediately after finding Adrian was asleep.Not on the bed, but in the chair beside it, his long frame folded awkwardly, one arm resting against the mattress, fingers loosely curled as if he’d fallen asleep mid-guard.He hadn’t left the room and stayed there for the whole night, the realisation th
HATE YOU?
"I didn't mean to suspect you," Christian tried to give a gentle clarification, "but why do I feel like you're hiding something from me? Are you really hiding anything from me?" The question was soft, too soft for the weight it carried.Adrian did not answer, it's not because he has no answer, it's because he doesn't know what answer he is supposed to give to the boy in front of him.The silence that followed was not empty, it pressed against the walls, heavy and suffocating, as if the storm itself had paused to listen.Christian watched him carefully and silently, not accusing, not even auspicious, just… searching for an answer to calm his curiosity.Adrian turned his face away, his jaw tightening, fingers curling slowly at his side. The faint hum of residual lightning in the air thinned, but the tension did not."If I were," Adrian finally said, voice low, and measured as if he is trying to know about the things going on in Christian's heart, "would you hate me for it?" Christian
WHERE ARE WE?
"Huh?" Adrian stared at Christian with a clueless face because of the question asked by Christian.Understanding the confusion of Adrian, Christian asked once again, "I mean, aren't we strangers? Why are you worrying about me like this? Why are you going to the extent of hurting yourself just to keep me safe?" Christian ended his words and looked at Adrian for an answer, while the scent of lightning lingered around them, sharp and faintly sweet, as the storm inside Christian settled into silence.Adrian looked down at him, at the boy whose eyes resembled the woman he loved with his everything, and whispered before he could stop himself, "I’m your fa...." The words cracked in the middle itself, before he could continue further, his heart lurched.He bit them back so sharply that the breath caught painfully in his throat just because he wasn't able to say what he actually meant to say, that pain was something beyond any words could explain.Christian blinked, being dazed, as he was un
I DON'T CARE!
"If it's pain," Mary kissed Christian’s forehead, "let me take it for you… Don't be scared! Everything will be okay.... Just go back, you shouldn't be here!" Her soft voice faded with the dissolving dream realm, and Christian’s body snapped back into reality with a violent surge of lightning.His body hovered above the cracked floor, suspended in a storm of raw blue-white power.Adrian’s heart nearly stopped, as his son, his only child, the boy he had only just found was slipping away again, just like in the past, "NO!"Adrian was fast enough to hold Christian mid-air and pulled him down against his chest.A brutal bolt of lightning struck Adrian’s shoulder, tearing through skin and cloth, despite the injury that piercing him, he didn’t even blink as he is prepared to offer his life if that can save his son.Mrs. Nevermore cried out behind him, "Rian! Stop! Don't do this.... Your core... Your core can’t handle this!!" "I don’t care!" Adrian roared back, his voice shaking with desper
WHAT KIND OF A PLACE IS THIS?
"Riannn!" Mrs. Nevermore screamed as well being worried about her son, as she couldn't see him properly.Dust slowly drifted through the chamber like a pale snow, the white flash faded.The rattling stone pillars have calmly settled, and Lysandre, shielding his eyes with one arm, turned toward the storm-wreathed platform."My Lord… Can you hear me?" His voice trembled, but Adrian did not answer.He couldn’t.He was kneeling, one knee on the cracked stone floor, while his arms wrapped tightly around Christian’s limp body as if afraid that something can take him away if he were to get away from him.Lightning still danced faintly over Christian’s skin, soft but uncontrolled, like a storm caught between dying and exploding.Mrs. Nevermore rushed down the steps once the place got clear and visible, her heart pounding in fear. "Rian! Rian, what happened? Is he...." Adrian didn’t even look up.His forehead was pressed to Christian’s temple, his hand cradling the back of the boy’s head wit
