It was late at night, Delic was walking down his usual path. But this time, he noticed a dark figure. He didn't think anyone else used this path, then again, he never came home that early, and he doesn't usually pay attention to his surroundings. He tried to look closer, not walking any further in case it was some freak who'd mug him. The figure stood there, looking a bit confused. His curiosity finally got the best of him and he walked up slowly to the figure. It was a man. As he inched closer, Delic flinched.

'He looks like….'

His thoughts stopped when the man turned towards Delic. Delic eyed the suspicious man and suddenly burst into laughter.

"W-what are you wearing? Are you cosplaying or something?"

He tried to contain his laughter but only found it hard. The man he was staring at wore a cloak, he had dark raven-like hair and he wore a crown. The perfect looking prince. But, no such thing existed in this neighborhood.

"Who do you think you're laughing at, commoner?" The strange man spoke. "How does my taste in clothing concern you? We've never met before and you insult me? You're rather annoying so be gone with you." The man turned away.

"O-ouch, such hurtful words." If there was one thing Delic was good at, it would be acting. That and flirting, he was always a flirt. He smiled at the angry-seeming raven prince.

"So, what's your name?" Delic asked, walking around him to come face to face with him.

"Get out of my way, commoner." He brushed away the blonde without a second thought.

"I'm not 'commoner'. I have a name and it's Delic. So, you're not gonna tell me your name then? I'll just give you a nickname then, Prince-chan." The blonde smirked. It had finally grabbed the other's attention.

"What did you call me…?" He was pissed. "How dare you call me such a degrading thing such as that!" He flared. "You shall refer to me as Hibiya-sama. The strange boy who's name seemed to be Hibiya made sure to emphasize the -sama. He seemed like he was going to explode at any second. This only made Delic's smirk widen. Bingo. He got Hibiya's name. Mission accomplished, right?

Wrong.

The raven was pissed and Delic knew he'd have to do something to make things better. Delic was going to apologize, but as soon as he looked at the raven's face, he snickered. Hibiya's face was bright red from realization of what he had done. He fought and fought thinking to himself 'I'm not going to give my name to a lowly commoner.' But he let it slip anyways. Delic snickered.

"Oh~? So, your name is Hibiya, eh~?" Delic said in a low, suggestive tone, making the smaller flinch.

"H-Hibiya-sama to you, commoner…." He stuttered, trying to keep calm. Getting angry did not suit a prince, he had to stay calm and collected.

"My name's Delic, not commoner~" Delic chuckled.

"I don't care what your name is, a commoner Is a commoner." Hibiya flared back.

"Fine. Call me commoner, and I call you Hibi-chan. Your move, Hibi-chan." He was fighting fire with fire now. Hibiya scowled.

"F-Fine…I'll call you Delic, but it's Hibiya-sama to you." He growled, only making Delic's smirk grow.

"It's a deal then~"

"Well then, Delic, d-did you need anything else?" He frowned, avoiding eye-contact with the blonde.

"Hm…I have nothing better to do, how about you show me your castle~?" He smiled. Hibiya turned away.

"Why would I do that? You're barely even worth my presence…." Delic inched closer to the raven.

"Oh~? So I'm worth something, though~? Have I grown on the little prince, already~?" He moved around Hibiya, looking him in the eyes and making him blush.

"N-no! Ugh, I'm leaving, you irritate me immensely." He turned away. "Goodnight, com-Delic." He said his final goodbye with Delic saying goodnight himself. He was left there to watch the raven walk away to his castle. Delic was interested very much. He didn't know why, he just found Hibiya to be quite interesting. He hoped to run into him again soon. 'I guess he does have a cute side, eh?' He thought as he continued on with his walk back home.

The next morning, Delic found that he couldn't get Hibiya out of his mind. He had thought about him since last night. He barely got any sleep because of it. He couldn't figure out why Hibiya had such a big impression on him. Although in the end he just blew off the thought by thinking about how adorable Hibiya was. It's not like Delic could fall in love….right?

It was time for work. He had to leave early every day since he lived so far away from the town. He looked at the clock for the first time since he woke up. He had to try hard to keep his jaw from falling to the ground. He was extremely late. He couldn't be late! This wasn't like him, not at all.

'Damn that Hibiya guy, screwing with my head without even knowing it!' He knew it wasn't Hibiya's fault, but he had to blame someone right? He rushed to get dressed as fast as he could-which wasn't that fast at all since he had to make himself look decent.

He didn't even think about bothering with breakfast. 'Today's not going to be a good day…Dammit…' He rushed out of his house, not forgetting to lock it, of course. He dashed down his usual path at the speed of light. You'd think he'd have a car, at least. But sadly, he spends all his money on the music he loves so much-an enormous reason why he can't ever save up any money.

"-lic!" He could have sworn he heard something, probably just his imagination.

"I say, Delic!" Okay he wasn't hearing things. Damn, he didn't have time to waste. He turned around to see the raven he met last night. Hibiya. Delic felt something throb in his chest. 'Ugh…I really need to eat…'

He brushed off the thought and feeling he was in complete denial about. As he turned around completely, he realized Hibiya was riding something. 'A horse…?' He heard the horse trot up to him.

"Jesus, are you mad? You run like a maniac!" Hibiya said less loudly, his horse right in front of Delic at this point. Delic just stared in awe at the horse. How did he not notice this until now? There was a horse living near him and he just noticed this now? He couldn't think of anything to say, all that came out of his mouth was,

"…You have…a horse…?" Delic continued to stare at it.

"Yes, his name is Arthur. Do you have a problem with him?" Hibiya glared. "And to think I was going to be considerate and give you a ride to wherever the hell you're in such a hurry to go." He huffed. Delic's face lit up.

"Where were you going in such a hurry, anyways?" Hibiya looked down at the blonde.

"Work. I'm really late… You mind giving me a ride~?" Delic smirked but under all that, he was actually very desperate. He just couldn't help old habits.

Hibiya sighed.

"I suppose so. Hop on, then." He patted the spot right behind him on the horse's back. Delic did as told and got on the horse. He wrapped his arms around Hibiya's stomach-He didn't want to fall…But it still made Hibiya blush uncontrollably.

"Thanks a lot, actually. This'll get me there so much quicker." Delic smiled even though the other couldn't see it.

"It's…nothing, really…" He mumbled. He motioned for the horse to run as fast as it could to get there quickly.

Not very much time passed by the time they finally got there. Hibiya stared at the building.

"This is…"

"A host club." Delic cut in and smiled. "I'm a host."

"You're a…what?" Hibiya was stunned. "S-so you're this kind of person, huh? You just flirt with everyone you see without giving it a second thought about how they feel!" Hibiya stared at the ground, unable to meet his eyes with Delic's. For some reason, he was hurt.

"…It brings in money and the people who come here know what it's about. They don't get serious, it's just harmless flirting." Delic explained. "I don't see what the big deal is." He looked at his watch. "Shi-I'm gonna be late! See you later, Hibiya~!" He ran into the building, leaving a shocked Hibiya outside of it.

"Ugh, whatever…" Hibiya turned away and trotted back to do his business.

Delic's shift was finally over and he was rather exhausted. Keeping a smile on for hours straight and constantly having to deal with greedy customers was tiring. But he had it different from the other host there; he was the most popular in the whole establishment. He had practically no breaks since he was requested constantly.

In all honesty, he didn't actually enjoy this one bit. It made him feel a bit bad-being forced to flirt with people….Delic remembered what Hibiya said-and he was right. Hibiya had a point. Delic didn't think about the clients' feelings. He just did what he had to do, except for some things, to earn more money. Delic wouldn't go so far as to "do" his clients. He rarely even kissed them, and even when he does, it's nothing more than a simple peck. He may not look it, but he was actually a pretty innocent guy.

Delic started on walking home, he really needed to get a car. Damn himself for being so obsessed with his music to save his money….

He kept wondering if he'd see Hibiya again. His mind focused on Hibiya and Hibiya alone. No matter what he tried, it was always Hibiya. Even at work, he'd sometimes zone out, thinking about the raven he met only a little while ago. Delic knew there was something wrong with himself, he just couldn't figure out what it was. I mean, it's not like it could be…love, right? No way.

Delic wasn't going to go through that again. He was done with love. He'd been kicked in the ass by it once, he wasn't going to fall for it again. Delic shook off any thoughts about that as quickly as he could. 'Oh great…memories…' He thought right as they started to flood through him, making him clutch his head and squint his eyes. He tried to get over it, but the flood of reminiscence wouldn't let him.

"Damn…" He said rather loudly.

He walked down the usual cement path, trees surrounding him all the way through. His subconscious was hoping to see Hibiya. 'Ugh…dammit!' He tried to get him out of his mind but it was no use. Delic looked around as he walked.

"There's no way he'd be out this late…" He said to himself, in a quiet, disappointed tone.

"Who'd be out? Who are you looking for at this hour?" A familiar voice asked, walking up closer to the blonde. Delic spun on his heels faster than he should've, making him dizzy.

"H-Hibiya? Why are you out so late?" He tried to keep calm but he was beyond ecstatic inside. He just wanted to run up to the raven and hold him tightly. He didn't know why he did, but he knew he wanted to. But, of course, he wouldn't. He knew to behave himself, seeing as how Hibiya wouldn't like it one bit.

"I just wanted to go for a stroll, I suppose. The weather is nice and it's rather quiet. It's comfortable, and relaxing." Hibiya smiled. "What about you?" He looked away, knowing he seemed too interested in Delic's affairs.

"Just got back from work." Delic gazed at Hibiya, not moving an inch. He waited impatiently for a response from the now quiet raven.

"….." Hibiya finally turned back towards the blonde. "H-how…was work…?" He tried to act like he didn't care-trying to be casual about things. It didn't work out very well with that little stutter he did. Delic's face lit up, a smirk appearing on his face in the process.

"Ne~ It was exhausting, I didn't get to see Hibi-chan for so long~!" Delic had a big smirk on his face at this point. He loved seeing Hibiya's reactions whenever Delic teased him. But the reaction the raven had this time, Delic wasn't expecting. Hibiya's face was bright red, he stared at the ground.

"Why do you keep teasing me like this? I know you're just playing around, b-but when you do this my ch-chest hurts for some reason and I-I don't know how to deal with it…-" He was cut off by a pair of arms wrapping around him, causing him to become silent. Delic's face saddened.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry if I hurt you…It's just…with you, I can't help myself. I don't even know why but…" He slowly gazed into Hibiya's eyes. His body heated up all of a sudden. He moved his hands to cup Hibiya's cheeks. He breathed in, wondering why he felt the need to touch Hibiya so much. He fought the urge as much as he could. Yet it still overpowered him. He slowly moved in closer to the other's face, not even an inch apart. He closed his eyes and kissed him gently. To his surprise, Hibiya didn't move an inch. Delic thought he'd get hit or yelled at. But no, he didn't. He was frozen there from the shock. Delic pulled back, he stared at the frozen Hibiya. He chuckled a bit, unable to control himself.

"Are you okay?" He asked trying to contain his laughter.

"…Y-you…" Hibiya slowly put his fingers to lips. "You just…" Hibiya's face turned bright red. He covered his face and tried to look away. Hibiya didn't know what to think. His emotions were all over the place. Delic couldn't contain it anymore; he let out a giggle and asked the obvious.

"I what~?" He smirked widely, looking at the flustered Hibiya.

"Why'd you do that?" He burst with anger. Delic froze, Hibiya had no idea how much those words hit him. He thought for a moment. Why did he do it? He got lost in thought.

Hibiya stood there, waiting for some kind of response.

"Delic." Hibiya said impatiently, his words snapping Delic out of his little trace and made him look back to Hibiya.

"W-what?" Delic was too busy trying to figure out what that certain pain in his chest was. It was pissing him off, how nostalgic it was. It made him remember things that he'd rather bury deep down and forget about. He shrugged it off as best he could, making sure Hibiya didn't notice him acting strangely. He snickered at the impatient raven, trying to forget about the pain.

"Hm~ I dunno~?" And with that last word, he walked off. Well that's what he wanted to do but his feet wanted to get out of there as soon as possible so he found himself running. At this point, he didn't care if it looked like he was fleeing, he needed to get away before….

Before he realized what was happening.

He was falling. Hard.

Hibiya stood there in utter shock. Delic had just kissed him-and to top it all off, he didn't answer him why and run off.

"Ugh…what's wrong with that man….?" Hibiya wasn't going to be able to enjoy his calming walk anymore, so he went home. His thoughts filled with the strange blonde-nothing else. 'Ugh, what is this?' Hibiya thought as he finally reached his home, walked himself to his bed, and tried to fall asleep.
