Author's Note: I should re-introduce myself! I'm KawaiiTenshiCeres, and I wrote a soap-opreaish story called 'Flavor of Life' on this site with Chelsea and Vaughn as the main characters. Because of the success of it, I'm trying my best to see if this story will be as good as the last one. So, cheer me on!

So, I chose this title, and storyline, based off of the Japanese drama, with the same name. It's translated into 'Moon Lovers', which obviously, you can only meet Skye in the night. So yeah.

Disclaimer: I, KawaiiTenshiCeres, does not own Harvest Moon!

Tsuki no Koibito

Chapter One

When I moved here, I thought 'falling in love' wasn't my first priority.

I've been in love with him for so long.

Though... He never dared tried to pop the question.

"Have you heard the news! There some thief who's been coming to the Valley lately!"

Slamming her manicured hands on the countertop, I watched the infuriated blond staring me down as I nearly fell off my comfy bar stool. I placed down my glass and furrowed my eyebrows thoughtfully at the bartender who had been giving me the latest gossip that was around the valley. Apparently, there were rumors floating around from Mineral Town about a man stealing stuff, and charming the women of that place. I had to be wary and let my dog outside to guard my farm after going home.

"Jill, you want me to walk you back?" a voice piped up.

I looked at the man next to me. He was a bit taller than me, wearing a loose white shirt, and had messy black locks. He had a cold gaze towards me, while I tilted my head in thought. I could tell he didn't want me to walk alone due to what the bartender had said. I shook my head politely and tried to lean back to check how dark it was. The man had quickly walked behind me, prepared to catch me if I ever fell...How sweet.

"Aww, Marlin! I didn't know you're so kind to her!" the blond smiled, as I tilted my head back to see Marlin giving me a questionable look.

I watched him looking away and blush for a moment, closing his eyes in the process. "I-It's nothing! You don't want her to get hurt, do you?"

"True." the older male had nodded.

The blond giggled as she glanced at me. "Well, well. You two seemed to act like a couple. Are you dating?" she questioned thoughtfully.

Our faces turned red as we looked at her and shook her head. A grin had formed on her face, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, you two should head on home then!"

As I sat back up properly on my chair, I nodded to both of them, getting out of the bar stool.

"G'night Muffy and Griffin!" I said cheerfully. "Are you going home soon, Marlin?" I questioned, watching him shake his head.

"I'll stay for a bit longer." he smiled to me.

I had walked out for a moment, and practically darted to my buddy, Lumina's mansion. I had stopped near the gate to press my back against the concrete wall. My eyes closed tightly for a moment, trying to calm myself down for a brief moment. I lightly pounded my fist on the wall, scolding myself about what had just happened. My third try ended in fail. What was I trying to do, you ask? Ever since I moved here a year ago, I've been in love with Marlin. Yes, I know, it's sappy, but hear me out. I got him to at least like me to the point of him blushing...but he just wouldn't do anything about our relationship. No, we didn't do anything naughty, but I was least expecting something nice out of our new relationship...

"Hey, wait! Phantom Skye!"

My eyes darted to the charmed Lumina, as I quickly noticed silver hair flowing past me. My indigo eyes widened, as we exchanged glances for a quick moment. Lumina had lost sight of him, as she hesitantly walked back into the mansion with a blush on her face. I quickly walked forward looking around. Whipping out my hammer, I looked around for a brief moment. I clenched the hammer quietly, as I felt arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into the darkness. The scent of curry had filled the air, confusing me for the moment. I noticed a hand had covered my mouth, as I looked up.

He was a tall man, with long silver locks. He had emerald green eyes that were staring out into the town, before looking at me, and releasing me.

"Hm...You're quite the pretty one." he smiled, gently cupping my chin and kissing me on the cheek. "I'm sure we'll meet again, the stars said so."

He was about to leave, before I gently gripped his hand with my free hand. "Why were you stealing from Lumina?" I questioned staring at the thief with concerned eyes.

"Just something personal. Nothing to worry about." he winked at me.

I quickly used the hammer, and tried to attack him with it. Unfortunately, I saw him quickly rush to the side, and nearly fell onto the floor. Dusting off his gray shirt, he sighed, and looked at me.

"...You're quite a violent woman." he noted.

I quietly glared at him, before taking a stance. "Just tell me, and you'll be free without getting hurt." I muttered.

Slowly approaching me, I held my hammer up high, only to feel his hand grip my wrist tightly. His eyebrows furrowed, before leaning in to give me a casual kiss on the lips.

"I'll keep that a secret until we meet again, beautiful." he winked at me. "I could tell you're just a kind woman deep down, you just refuse to show it."

Phantom Skye had casually walked away, leaving me a bit shocked. My eyes fluttered in astonishment, as I dropped my hammer on the ground and knelt down on the ground for a while. I hate to admit that he was disturbingly like Rock. Only, his pickup lines are a million times more effective to me than the weird, funky ones that he kept pitching at me. My eyes widened, before I quickly slapped my own cheeks to try and come back into reality.

"Gosh. No wonder Lumina's so into him." I muttered darkly furrowing my eyebrows in thought. "Maybe she's into those playboy or flirtatious types."

While I thought to myself, I had to pick up my hammer, put it in my rucksack, and walk home. I gently pressed my fingers on my lips, feeling my face getting hot from what he just did. My teeth knawed on my pink lip, trying to keep myself from panicking. I ran...More like sprinted on home, trying to go to bed and hide my embarassed face. This was the first time I got so flustered over a kiss! Well, my first kiss was by Marlin, but it was by accident! Though...it felt weird when that tiny kiss from that thief had more power than what it had with Marlin.

"Oh man! Why am I still thinking about it?" I shouted, nearly messing up my chocolate brown hair.

Plopping onto my bed, I stared up at the ceiling in thought. "I'm really out of it or I drank too much.." I groaned.

"...Though...why is my heart still beating so fast whenever I think of him?"
