It is me again, and once more with a new fandom- Haha!
This story is dedicated to my lovely friend, Lili! Let us hope, she kicks my butt so I actually finish one of those things for once ;'D
Groaning quietly you kicked the door shut behind you, not even bothering to switch on the lights. Dragging your grocery bag along on the floor, you wobbled into your apartment to bring your food to the kitchen. Like usually you hadn't managed to get everything you wanted - but by now you were used to that. Your job wasn't too bad and fairly well paid, yet the working hours were pure hell.
Purring loudly your cat came to greet you (and probably beg for some food), rubbing his head against your leg. Returning the greeting with a quiet whining sound, you blindly reached for a light switch before starting to search for a can of cat food. Eating something yourself might be a good idea as well, but frankly, you were way too tired for this. All you wanted, was to crawl under your warm blanket and sleep for the next ten days straight.
Once you had finally managed to open the can, you poured its contents into the feline's bowl, before thoughtlessly throwing the can at the trash bin. CRASH!
As soon it hit the trash, there was a deafening crashing sound and the entire building seemed to rumble, causing both you and your cat to jump up with a loud screech. For one dizzy moment you wondered just what the hell this tin can was made of, before you realise that it probably wasn't the can which was responsible for the sudden noise. Actually it sounded a lot like it just came from the living room...
Reaching for the nearest object to defend yourself - a ladle, to be more exact - you slowly crept towards the dark living room, tailed by your loyal cat, which was just as freaked out as you were. Shaking heavily you peeked around the corner and saw... stars.
Not in the sense that you just had gotten hit, you saw the actual stars, shining through the giant hole in your ceiling. Most of your living room was veiled by a cloud of dust, barely visible in the soft moonlight that shone inside.
Taking what little was left of your courage, you took a deep breath, before calling out into the darkness.
"Is... is there someone?"
The only reply you got was silence. Though, of course, that didn't mean that you actually were alone. Trying your best not to look as though you were about to wee your pants, you glared into the dust cloud, holding up your ladle in a threatening way. All in all, you looked ridiculous.
"I-I know judo!"
A plain lie, yet it made you feel better as you approached again. Slowly the dust settled, and what it revealed to your eyes made you freeze again.
There, in the middle of your living room, right where your couch once was, laid a guy in armor, surrounded by rubble and what was left of your furniture. Like a doe in headlights you just stood there, ladle still held protectively in front of you, and just stared at the unmoving figure. Kuro - your cat - seemed just as perplexed as you were, judging by his wide eyes and puffed up fur.
For one horrible moment you thought, that he was dead, when suddenly he began to move and groan. Looking as though he wanted to sit up, the stranger struggled for a few moments, before giving up and slumping back again. It was then, when you finally snapped out of it again. With a yelp you rushed towards him, dropping onto your knees next to him, never letting go of your ladle though (just in case).
"Oh my god! Are you alright? Can you speak? What happened?"
Slowly he moved his head towards you, eyelids fluttering open to look at you. Although his face was hard to see in the shallow light, you noticed that he seemed to be fairly beautiful. Mesmerized by his eyes, which appeared to have different colours in the moonlight, you sat there completely motionless.
Taking a second to look at you, the armored guy moved his lips in an inaudible whisper, making you frown worriedly and lean in slightly.
"What did you say?"
"...closer..."
His voice was husky and rough, and although this probably wasn't the right moment, you couldn't help the sensual shudder that went through you. Swallowing hard you tried your best to remind yourself, that this guy was probably heavily hurt, and following his request you leaned down until you were close enough to hear his quiet voice.
"What do you-"
You never got to finish your sentence. Without warning, his eyes suddenly lit up with a frightening glow, one blue, one orange, as his hand shot up to grab the back of your neck. A maelstrom of pictures and noise completely overwhelmed you at his touch, accompanied by the feeling of getting electrocuted.
And then, there was darkness.
I'm sorry for the short chapter! The next one will be longer, pinky promise~ UvUb
Now let us just hope I'll actually be a decent author for once, and don't make you wait for aeons-
