"Hump! Me...friend with this thing, never in a lifetime! Get out! You're disgusting!"
What? How could he?
'Being with Lict, really makes me happy, I hope that you'll take proper care of him. He is...really special to me'.
How could he say that.
"It's okay, I'll go, Lict, don't be angry, okay." Melissa said.
"No, stay! You're not going anywhere!" I revolted.
"But Milady-"
"Shut up Lict! She is my friend, if she is so disgusting to you, then I'll be friends with her, Mr.Elite!"
"Milady, no I'm-"
"Some elite you are! 'The best'? my ass! You're no different than some tyrant! You jerk!"
. . .
"...Do what you want" Lict said and went out of the window, flying in the air.
"Lict! Wait! What have you done, lady?" Melissa said.
"He deserved it! You trust him so much, but after all he is a jerk!"
"Sigh! huh? Where is Milord?"
"Huh? That guy, where did he go?"
"This is stupid! Why doesn't Milady understand. Does she not trust me? How...painful. My chest hurts."
"Really?"
"Huh? Who is it...You...aren't you the Demigod of hers."
"How rude, I do have a name"
"I'm not interested in knowing that, Please leave."
"Lict, I want to-"
"Don't call me by my name!"
"...Okay, The Hour of Music, I want to tell you something."
"About what? Make it fast"
"I know...about the curse"
"......."
"I'm here to help y-"
"Go away! I don't need any help-"
"Stop being so stubborn! If someone gives you something learn to accept it you jackass!"
"...What can you do?"
"What?"
"I'm asking, what can you do about it. It is anyways an irreversible curse. You can't undo it"
"No, there is a way. But before I tell you, tell me, why do treat Melissa so badly?"
"It's none of you business"
"It is my business! Can't you see how many people you're hurting by your actions!"
"...I just...don't want to hurt Melissa again, so, I decided to keep my distance."
"You're hurting her even more like that! You think such crap would solve anything!"
"It's still better."
"IT IS NOT!! YOU ARE SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HER! I HAVE SEEN HER, CRYING IN THE DARK, ALL BY HERSELF BECAUSE YOU SUDDENLY STARTED IGNORING HER! YOU SUDDENLY STARTED HATING HER WITHOUT ANY REASON!!!"
"......"
"It hurts. To see the one you love, getting hurt because of someone who is not even worthy of getting hurt over."
"I'm ...sorry"
"That's something you should say to her! You've hurt her enough already! Please stop with your half assed apologies! You're just making things around you miserable!"
"Then...what should I do?"
"Stop...please stop. Accept your past and move forward, please. Please don't hurt my star spirit over your own selfishness. You may not have a heart but she does, and you keep breaking it again and again! If you don't have any intentions of catching her then ...don't ever make her fall"
We were waiting in the living room, when both Lict and the cigarette guy returned.
"I'm ...sorry, Melissa. Please forgive me."
Melissa raised up and hugged Lict
"Mmmm, it's not your fault, you've suffered the most among us."
"I'm the worst, right?"
"No..." Melissa started crying as she hugged him tighter "I'm...*sob*...sorry for *sob* sorry for leaving you at such a moment *sob* Thank you ...*sob* for choosing me...Lict"
At this time,you felt so distant , even though we were so near, Lict. There's so much I want to know about you. There's so much I want to find out that I...feel restless sometimes. As if someone's squeezing my heart. What is this feeling, it feels nostalgic, wasn't I the same just after I lost both my parents, did Lict also, loose someone really dear to him? Was even he suffering all this time behind that smile.
A facade. Why? Why do you rely on that facade. Why can't you be the real you in front of me? Lict, am I that untrustworthy?
. . .
'No, I just don't want you to worry about me'
Again! I can hear his faint voice again in my head. What is this? Am I hearing things again?
"Milady" Lict came towards me and bowed his head "I'm really sorry I disappointed you. I hope you can forgive me for my selfish acts."
"As long as you understand and accept it, there's nothing for me to forgive."
He looked at me, and then with a childlike innocence gave a bright smile "Thank you, Milady!" he said.
After this, I was pretty tired but I was also happy.
"Then, let's introduce ourselves" said Melissa.
"Huh? But we already know each other, don't we?" Lict complained.
"I just want it to be proper!" said Melissa.
"Sigh! Fine,...I'm 'The Hour of Music' informally called Lict and this is my Lady Demigod- Lady Vierne Obolensky. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"I'm 'Where There's Lust' informally called Melissa and this is my Lord Demigod- Lord Akagi Scheczalier. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"WAIT!!!! WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR DEMIGOD?!" I practically climbed on Melissa while asking this question.
"Uh...uh...Akagi...Scheczalier..."
"It's me, this is what I was trying to tell you, I'm the real deal."
"No, You're not! You're just an imposter, aren't you"
"You want a proof?"
"YES!"
"'A single love is born among hundreds of million things dispersed in light, so if you don't change or if you do change, you are you, don't worry.' This is from my book 'The Shadow of Light' I'm currently working on it, but I think I leaked this line in a talk show for promoting the book"
"Wait! Then, that means you're not a fan but the real deal himself!?"
"Yes"
"Liar! Then, why do you wear a uniform"
"Uniform?"
"Yeah, the suit"
"Idiot, which school has a suit as uniform?"
"Then, why do you always wear a suit?"
"It's work! And I like suits, got a problem with that?"
.
.
.
"WHAT????!!!!!"
Dear God, this world...REALLY IS ROUND!!! And I just remembered, I even called him a lowbrow, didn't I?
