CRASH!
And there goes my favorite blue cup. It slipped from Lict's finger and fell on the ground with a crash and broke into millions of small fragments.
I was literally shaking with anger because of this. You may wonder that how did the perfect butler 'THE GREAT LICT' who is the Elite Star of Music, make such a mistake. Well, this all happened when Mr. Akagi told him
"Lict, today ....Vierne was attacked by a Demigod in the school and forcefully dragged into the blank space." At that time, Lict was doing the dishes, as he heard it, he turned and dropped MY FAVORITE CUP!!!!!
I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU!!
Ahhh!!!!! AND NOW, 5, 4, 3, 2-
"MILADY!!!!!" Lict shouted in my ear as he grabbed me, well, I saw that coming. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? That must've been scary, right? I'm sooo sorry I wasn't there to help you!!! There, there.."
"SHUT UP!!!!! AND STOP CONFRONTING ME, IT PISSES ME OFF!!!" I said.
"Dude, you are the result of 4 billion years of evolution, so act like it." Akagi said in background.
"SHUT UP JERK!!!!" Lict then grabbed him by his collar and said "THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU, LEMME GO TO SCHOOL WITH MILADY, WHAT IF YOU WERE NOT THERE?!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED?!"
"...but I was there, and it worked out somehow, so forget about it" Akagi said all calm and collected.
"ENOUGH!!! I'M GOING TO SCHOOL WITH MILADY, AND I'M NOT ASKING THIS TO YOU, I'M TELLING IT!!!"
"....tsk, what a persistent brat!" Akagi said.
"Why are you doing this to me? Why do you always stop me from interacting with humans?" Lict said.
"That's because I'm worried about you, damn it!!" Akagi said as he blushed.
". . . worried?"
Akagi nodded.
"About me?"
"Yes..."
After that they just stared at each other. Huh? What the hell is going on?
"Wait a moment...I'm just....I just don't feel very well right now, I feel like throwing up.." Lict said as he covered his mouth while his face turned from green to purple.
"What's with your reaction?!" Akagi said.
"What's with your reason? Couldn't you put up a less disgusting excuse?" Lict said.
"Well...What am I seeing here, a love story, NO! Not just any love story, a BL LOVE STORY, forbidden love kyaa!!!! But, Aww...Milord was rejected by Lict." Melissa said as she stood above the stairs of the hall.
"HUH? Since when were you there?" I asked.
"I came here, as soon as I heard the crash, was that your cup?"
"..yes..unfortunately" I said with an air of gloom.
"Well, anyways" Melissa slided down from the stairs and came to Akagi. She then said, "Don't give up Milord, I'll support you with everything I've got!!! I can see the future, first a kiss, then an intense kiss, then you're gonna slam Lict on the wall and finally se-"
POW!! Akagi punched Melissa
"Oww..." she said as she rubbed her head.
"Don't get the wrong idea, what are you even thinking?? Get your mind out of the gutter. Like I would ever propose to a guy, right Lict?"
Akagi turned to find Lict standing 1m away from him.
"From now on...stay at least 1m away from me!" Lict said.
". . . Don't tell me you believed what she said."
". . ."
"REALLY??!?!! HAVE ALL THE F@#KING GIRLS OF THIS SHITTY WORLD DIED THAT I'D DO YOU?!!! EVEN IF YOU AND I WERE THE LAST PERSON LEFT ON EARTH, I'D NEVER DO IT WITH A GUY!!!!!"
"Hoooo...that means...have you done it with girls?" Melissa said with a teasing look on her face.
"...let's drop this topic here" Akagi said.
"Huh?....why? It was getting so good, hey, tell me-"
"Moving on.."
"Hey, don't ignore me!!!"
"Vierne, you're gonna go to school from tomorrow, are you ready?" Akagi asked me.
"To tell you the truth...I really don't know what to do with my hands, I mean, I can cover my left hand but what about the right one?"
"Yeah, right that...." Akagi went to his room and brought a small grey colored box. As he opened it, I saw....
...a ring. So beautiful, it's really fine work. I remember, my mother used to wear a similar ring.
"Lict, come here." Akagi said.
"Why?" Lict said with a suspicious look on his face.
"Huh! Look, I'm not gonna do anything, just come here-"
"NO!"
"......" Akagi looked pissed off, he kept the ring in his pocket and walked towards Lict and slammed him on the wall.
"OMG!! This is getting hot" Melissa said with a grin on her face.
Lict : "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU JERK!!! THIS MEANS YOU REALLY ARE-"
Lict was about to say something when Akagi whispered something in his ear and Lict became beet red.
"Now come." Akagi said and Lict followed him.
"What did you say to him?" Melissa asked.
"None of your business, f@#k off!" Akagi said.
"Pe pe! So mean!" Melissa said.
WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY TO LICT TO MAKE HIM RED TILL HIS NECK??!! NOW, EVEN I'M CURIOUS!!! IS THIS STORY EVEN GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!!!
"Here" Akagi said as he handed Lict the ring...
Wait...
WAIT A FREGGIN' MINUTE!!!!!!
DON'T TELL ME, THAT RING IS AN....
ENGAGEMENT RING??
ARE THEY GONNA MARRY???
IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED IN RUSSIA?? A HOMOSEXUAL MARR-
"What are you thinking? I'm not gonna marry a d@#K! I think I told you, I'm straight." Akagi said
"Psycho!! You read my mind" I said.
"Idiot! Anyone could tell that, your reactions are too obvious. Your face reveals you." He said.
"SMART!!" I said.
"Exactly, I am, now you know it?" Akagi said.
"Okay...that was unexpected...."
"Now hurry and put that ring on her finger" he said to Lict.
WAIT!!!! WE ARE MARRYING??!!
"Of course, you're not marrying!" Akagi said.
"You read my mind again!!" Melissa said
"Why are YOU saying that?" Akagi said.
"Well, I just wanted to try that" Melissa said with a smile.
"Sigh! I'm surrounded by weirdos! NOW LISTEN IDIOTS!! This is not an engagement, proposal or whatever in the world that matters ring! This is a magic binding ring."
"Magic binding?" Lict, Melissa and I said together.
"Yes, magic binding. It is for those demigods who can't control their powers very well. As the name suggests, it binds your magic, it's like a lock, your powers will only work when you want them to."
DID I HEAR RIGHT?
MY POWERS...WILL ONLY WORK WHEN I WANT THEM TO?
"Lord Akagi!!! Where were you for the past 10 years?? My saviour!!" I was about to cry tears of happiness as I said it.
"But, you see....there's a little drawback"
"And....what is it?"
"You see...you can't wear it on your own, someone has to put it on your finger."
"Oh...I see" I said with gloom all around me but then something struck me, and I said-
"LORD AKAGI!!! Why don't you put it in my finger" I said with a smile. I mean, just IMAGINE
YOUR FAV CELEB
PUTS A RING
ON YOUR FINGER
AHHHH!!!!!!! *Soul flies away*
"No, not possible"
*Crack*--basically my dreams....
"WHY???"
"Because, I'd obviously die if I touch you" Akagi said.
"Yeah, right...I forgot...." How could I ever forget, this is fate.
"Oh! But one person can do it, and only he can do it!"
"Don't tell me...." I have a really bad feeling about this...
"Litty, Litty!!! Because, he's your star spirit and he can touch you, that's why he's the only one who can do it!!!" Melissa said as she shaked Lict.
NO
NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEAR LIFE, YOU ARE........
..............
...…..SUCH A *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
"Okay then" Akagi turned to Lict and said "DO IT!"
"Milady, could you please bring your hand forward" Lict said.
I reluctantly brought my hand forward, he gently held my hand and brought the ring close to my finger.
I'M CRYING HERE, AND THIS TIME NOT BECAUSE OF HAPPINESS
MY MOST ADORNED WRITER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND STILL THIS SPUD IS PUTTING THIS RING ON MY FINGER!!
DEAR GOD, DO YOU EXIST, CAUSE IF YOU DO, I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!
"M-MILADY, I'M PUTTING IT IN NOW" he said, nervously.
"Y-YES" I said, nervously.
Akagi punched Lict and said "Stop making it sound so perverted, we already have a dirty pun master here, we don't need another one!"
"I'm not making it sound perverted!!!!" Lict said.
"Hold on! Are those your real feelings Milord? Do you really think of me that way?" Melissa said.
"JUST PUT IT IN!!!!!WHAT THE F@#K IS TAKING YOU SO LONG TO DO SO??!!!"
"Hooo.....you seem restless and excited, Milord" Melissa said.
. . .
"Jeez, you were not supposed to hit me that hard. I think it's even swollen now, wah!!" Melissa said as she cried.
"Sometimes I wonder, WHY THE HELL IS MY PRESENCE ALLOWING YOUR F@#KING EXISTENCE!!!" Akagi frowned.
"YOU TWO" he turned towards us.
We both flinched as we saw his red eyes glowing bright crimson.
"DON'T......TEST MY PATIENCE"
"Y-Yes sir!!!" We said together.
Then Lict turned towards me and looked all serious.
Jeez, don't look so strongly at me, it.....makes me nervous, I thought.
He finally fixed the ring in my finger.
DAMN, THIS IS EMBARRASSING. This just feels like a-
"Marriage, doesn't it" Lict said.
"What?" I said.
"Nothing" Lict turned the other side. I blushed, I don't know why, but I just did. My face feels so hot. Maybe, I just....don't feel very well.
Akagi moved towards me and grabbed my hand.
OMG!!!!! I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA DIE!!!! HIS HANDS ARE SO BIG AND WARM!!!!!!!!
"Well, seems like it works" Akagi said.
Then, realization struck me and I was sooo...it's difficult to describe the emotion. It just...felt like, the strings which locked me in this house were finally cut. Now I was.....free!
I could go anywhere and touch anything. It won't break. That evening I touched everything I saw, crockery, food, fruits, plants, curtains. And each time, when I found that it did not break, I was so happy I couldn't put it into words!!
That night, I couldn't sleep at all!! I was wide awake. In my euphoria, I dreamt of living a normal high school life, starting from the next day!!!!
I couldn't help but wonder.....what would it be like to be....FREE?
