---LUCE - LIGHTS---
Luce garden stands on the side of Albahr street, greeting the main highway with its starry lights specially during nighttime. Golden clouds fog around it, giving it an ethereal aura no matter the time of day. Cerise and Trintiy meditate by the open area, Cerise manifesting the energy which she intends giving Trintiy. Titan energy.
In the royalty rankings there were three, the Titans, the Robin and the absolute Royals which are the Queen and overlord. Its stated that the absolute royals may pass the power but only onto pure aurums, which Trinity qualifies for. Cerise and Trinity have been testing out each other's skills, dueling and helping each other out. Cerise was at a disadvantage as this was the only time she got to freely see what she can do.
Her abilities lay hidden with her other persona, and her forcing it out exhausts her more than she intends to be."Trinity, give me your hand"
Trinity sets his body armor back, now in human form and faces Cerise. Cerise, with all her might, concentrates. When she opens her eyes she's in a different dimension, she looks at the constellations floating around her and behind one of the circular UFOs she spots a green light which she follows. She swims in the atmosphere and reaches for the green light, once she has it in her grasp she feels electricity travel through her body and when she wakes up she's in Trinity's arms.
Trinity, who's been staring at her passed out had his arms and eyes glowing in emerald."Trinity!" Cerise squeals, "It worked!"
Trinity raises his hand to his face and points his fingers to the sky. "Cerise…"
He shoots and emerald flames burst from his fingers, green smoke travelling through the sky above them."I know we aren't that close as friends," Trinity starts, "but thank you for granting me this power."
"It's no problem Trinity, I've seen what you're capable of and I wanted to try and see if it would work and it did!" Cerise smiles, moving away from Trinity's arms and patting dirt off her legs as she stands.It's peaceful for a while, Trinity and Cerise admiring the given power as it forms different images around them, the flames dancing like a dragon.
"You gotta show this to Jean" Cerise says, touching the fire which circles her finger before disappearing.
Trinity frows, "me and Fleur aren't in good terms…"
"But we do have something in common." Cerise looks up at him in curiosity. The air shifts, all serious, demanding Cerise to straighten herself and listen."We're hated for a part of us, for simply being 'ourselves' but unlike him he's liked as a public figure."
For a moment Cerise waits, using her eyes to urge him into speaking out what's bothering him. "For me, I can see through everyone. Their past"he looks at Cerise straight in the eye for the first time this evening.
"your past"
Cerise feels naked. After yesterday's event she doesn't know how she'll face Trinity. She's tried distracting herself, practicing her abilities to get rid of the thought that she's drifting from everyone except Jean. Sal hasn't made an appearance and she's getting worried, her father hasn't contacted her since the ball and Trinity this time, she doesn't know what to feel about him after he said he saw her past.
Right now in front of Rubylust, she just bid farewell to Trinity with Jean. Trinity mentioning that if he was to serve Cerise as Queen he'd have to settle matters back in his hometown which Cerise questions but he leaves before he dropped an answer. It was something she hasn't been informed of as a royal if she guessed right.
"Cerise," Jean taps her shoulder, trailing his arm around her back before settling on her waist. "The shoot is starting in five minutes lets go."
They move to the studio, Jean instantly changing into his designer's clothes as they arrive. Everyone is hustling around him, fixing his hair and makeup. Cerise stays by the corner, observing.
The thought just came to her. Jean is an international model, and its a wonder that media hasn't released an article stating that Jean is dating his manager, ahem, herself. With the way he acts she was sure a scandal would've been raised yet no bad news has reached her yet. Cerise slaps herself from spacing out, looking back at Jean who has caught her gaze.
The photographer continues snapping candid photos of him, with Jean looking elsewhere but the camera. He doesn't take his eyes off of Cerise. She feels herself melting under his icy glare. It's as if he's trying to relay a dangerous message to her.
Jean's eyes do so much for his photos, he uses it to direct and allure his audience. As a model it must be difficult but Jean, he has it all. The shoot finishes and Jean doesn't bother changing before beelining towards Cerise.
"Is something the matter?" Cerise gulps, the same look on his face from earlier still plastered on his features. As if he's still in front of the camera. Cerise looks around the room and spots a few people looking at them. She hasn't noticed the eyefuls people give them not until now. She thought it was normal to be stared at yet at this moment, they're whispering and Cerise's feels anxiety rising in her throat.
"I'm in pain" Jean says, cornering Cerise onto the wall.
Her attention is taken off of the gossipers, worry clouding Cerise. "Why? I'll take you to the doctors-" Jean cuts her off.
"No" He points to his chest,
"right here."
Cerise doesn't know what to say, so she stays silent and it's not long before Jean leaves her for a bit to change and drags her outside the studio, into a hallway where no one is present.
He makes Cerise face the window and positions himself behind her, hand on the railings in front of Cerise."Jean?" Cerise gulps.
"What did you and Trinity do?" Jean asks, his head tilted by the side of her head, she can feel his glare by her peripherals.
"I just gave him titan energy like you said?" Cerise furrows her brows, getting more uncomfortable the more Jean presses himself onto Cerise's back possessively even though no one is near them.
"Cerise." He removes one of his hands from the railings, trailing it up Cerise's arm before reaching for her jaw, he tips her head to his back, now making eye contact with Cerise."I want you to know you're mine."
And he leaves her just like that, heading back to the office as if nothing had happened. Cerise has a lot to think about. Sal, Trinity, the man at the ball, her duties in academics and now Jean has decided to make a hurricane in her head and heart.
