The Gravitational Constant
A/N: Future of events in the 'Bovino Secret' universe
Reborn hated people who were the epitome of the gravitational constant, unfortunately the people he liked most always seemed to fall in this category. Oh, how he loathed how these people managed so easily to lure people into liking them with so little effort. With a simple smile and occasionally a few words and they already had you half way around their pinky and craving to be in their presence again, being acknowledged by that person just by being there. There was never a moment in which their charms failed to gain the attention or affection of those around them. A gravitational constant.
Don't get him wrong, these characteristics were those he found in the people he liked. Meaning that while he found them spiteful, they were the reason he liked said people.
His own lover was one of these people. He hated how he couldn't keep all those people away. He couldn't manage to get this done because the gravitational constant was, just as its name implied, constant. He couldn't stop it and, for that fact, where ever they went people would, without a doubt, fall for the charms of his beloved and therefore try to interfere in his plans of keeping the green-eyed enchantment to himself.
There could be not even one evening without the interference of those who don't approve of our relationship.
"Ne, Reborn, I think I hear Marianne and Silvia."
"I think we must get rid of those girls."
"What! You can't be serious! They're just worried about me, that's all."
"All the more reason I should get rid of them."
"Don't be that way!"
They always bad mouthed him in front of his love and tried to coerce the poor gullible idiot to dump him for someone better and kinder.
"He obviously doesn't deserve you. He even treats you like his toy and he can't do that!"
"He's not like that, besides its playful teasing. He doesn't mean a word he says."
"Subconsciously he getting you ready to support all of the abuse he's to give you in the future, once he's alone with you, he will do horrible things. Understand that your innocence is at stake here!"
"That's pure nonsense! Sure, he can be a bit rough… but he's a huge sweetheart! And I love him!"
"You should look for someone that treats you like a glass rose and worships the ground you walk on."
"I prefer to have him treat me like a person rather than an object that must be handled with care. To walk along side him is one of my greatest wishes, so if you love me please don't talk about him in that way."
Always defending him against their words but Reborn knew that the thoughts had plagued that messy little head with the what ifs of their own situation. In those situations, all he wanted to do was kiss those pouty little lips and whisper loving yet a little bit teasing comments. To enjoy the others presence as much as possible and become the constant in his darlings' heart, having the gravity of his own presence be the only one is complete harmony with their own.
Harmony sounded good.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Reborn."
"Happy Valentine's Day, cow."
"Dammit, stay away from him you damned Arcobaleno!!"
"That does it!"
"Wait, Reborn, don't hurt them!!"
