"Go on." Zyair reluctantly took his eyes off Qantas' figure and turned his head around. Zyair doesn't want to go inside the mansion while Qantas is outside watching him go in. He wanted to go over to Qantas and pull him in with him and cuddle inside the blankets feeling warm and cozy.
But this man doesn't seem to agree with his thoughts. Infuriating, ah! Moreover, why on Earth would he stand outside watching him go inside. This is clearly his mansion!! Would it hurt him to sit inside and accompany him for a while?!! Zyair is angry!
Recalling how this punk pushed him off to play that bloody game alone, Zyair can't help but puff his cheeks in annoyance. This punk chose to leave him and play outside, instead of playing with him!! Zyair humped angrily and strode inside, not giving Qantas a second glance again.
While walking inside the huge door of their European mansion, Zyair heard Qantas remind him with his gentle voice. "Control your temper when playing the game, alright. Zyair, you know your heart, it's weak. It can't support your explosive temper. So be sure to have your pills beside you, okay."
Of course, because Zyair was angry, even though he heard Qantas, he ignored this reminder and even quickened his pace and directly strode upstairs towards his room.
That's why Zyair didn't find out, while Qantas was saying words of reminder towards his angry little lover. Qantas was playing with a small transparent medical box with a smile in his eyes. His dark and deep violet eyes that were hiding behind his glasses brightened with excitement.
"...I should thank Nix for creating that game." As if he thought of something, Qantas chuckled. "If the Grimm brothers knew Nix created a shortcut...they would surely be furious." Humming happily, for the first time Qantas' cold and expressionless face carried a big smile that almost reached the heavens. "...while Zyair is getting back his strength, I should do my job as well."
Sighing deeply, Qantas erased the smile on his face and thought carefully. He needs to calculate many things, after all he will disappear for a long time. He doesn't know how much of accumulated anger will pour out when his little lover see him again.
"...I should find him a gift as well..." Maybe by the time Qantas appears again, Zyair already vented out all his anger towards the game. If not, he could only lie down and wait to be chopped to pieces. Or he could just push his angry little lover directly to bed and talk afterwards.
Anyway, it's not bad either way. Because Zyair's heart can't support intense exercise, he had been a monk all these years. Letting out a smirk, Qantas walked out towards the glamorous gate and disappeared.

Staring blankly at the screen of the computer, Zyair with his stiff hands reluctantly touched the mouse and moved it towards a certain icon on his desktop.
It was a small black and white icon of an open book with a sparkling crystal ball at the center. Below were words "Once upon a time" written in cursive and a little star wand at the right side above the crystal ball. It didn't look that special, but, oho~ this is a game.
Märchen: The Grimm's Tale. A one player RPG game with Fairy Tales as a theme. The Grimm brothers were known for their fairy tales. In present time, those story books now became those little princesses of D World, which Zyair disdained very much.
Zyair is just a simple minded single cell organism that thinks simply– princesses are for girls while heroes are for boys. Just hearing "Märchen: The Grimm's Tale" Zyair could hear his heart falling into a bottomless pit. That title literally screams for princesses! And! Bedtime stories!
The first time, Qantas introduced this game to Zyair, Zyair rebel for the first time. Because of that he had to be hospitalized for a week to stabilize his heart. And Qantas laughed at him within those days. Zyair could only say that he was very embarrassed and ashamed, so in the end he had to play that bloody game.
Unlike what Zyair had thought, he didn't see those sparkly, fluffy dresses; those magical wands; those animals talking cutesy and glass slippers and poisoned apples. What Zyair saw is something completely out of his own expectations.
This game ain't for princesses!
Nevertheless, this version of the game only made Zyair hate it more. The single cell organism, Zyair whose head is filled with air, thought for a second before clicking the mouse to enter the game.
He didn't really like this game very much. He hated it as much as he hated beans and eggplant and fish and shellfish and crabs and those tentacled organisms in the sea. Those fishy dishes, and green balls and purple veggie– Zyair can't help but look at them with a sneer and contempt, like they were some kind of detestable enemy everytime Zyair sees them at the table.
And like those dishes, this game makes Zyair feel the same way.
Click.
As Zyair clicked the game icon, the computer screen immediately went black. It's like the computer suddenly turned off when there's a power outage. But it didn't, there's no power outage nor the computer turning off. This is just one of the game's grand introductions. One of the reasons why Zyair hated this game very much.
There is no skip. No matter how much you play the game, every time you need to go through this long line of introduction video before you get to play the game.
