Monochromatic: Cosmos

"Shu?" Yui casually walked into the vampire's room heading towards Shu who is lying leisurely in his bed. Before, she would never dare to do such, but now that has changed ever since they officially became a thing "Night school" He groaned in response "Shu?"

He held his hand in the air, assuming that he's asking for assistance upon standing up she grabbed his waiting hand only to be pulled down instead, locked in his arms unable to break free "Me or that boring institution?"

She mentally rolled her eyes. The human got used to his laziness and illogical reasoning that she has long given up arguing with him. The same scene always repeats every morning "I love you but I need school" she quickly answered hoping to end the argument there, but the vampire pretended not to hear what she said "Shu, you're being irrational"

"Who's being what?" He scoffed "I'm more useful than school, more attractive, and fun to be with... but you're choosing it instead of me. You're the one who's being irrational. Don't you know others beg to be with me?"

"I know, I know, you have said that a thousand times already" came Yui's sarcastic reply as she helplessly tried to wriggle out from the vampire's tight grip "But you, deadbeat, have never been useful. Yes, you are indeed attractive, but your face has never helped me getting the answer to the value of x, and, ugh, you do nothing but coop me up whenever we're together in your arms, you are no fun at all" she sighed as her attempts of escaping the vampire's arms failed "Geez, you can be so conceited sometimes"

"What an ungrateful human" somehow his hold loosen a little "You don't know what you're losing after choosing that building"

"Kidding"

"What?"

"Just now I thought you were playing with words since losing, choosing, and building rhymes so I thoug-..." She looked up at the vampire who showed no signs of listening to what nonsense she was talking about "Setting that aside, you are seriously considering the school as your rival, I can't believe how immature you are"

Shu shifted away from her and turned his back against Yui "Fine, leave. I don't need you"

She sat up "Is that a threat, Shu?"

"...on your own" he sighed "...eave me be"

"What?"

"...eave"

"What?"

"I said leave" he said adding more volume

"What?"

"I'm going" he groaned finally giving up. Fists swinging in the air she smiled triumphantly, but that smug curl on her lips quickly melted away when the vampire added "Strip me"

She threw a pillow aiming for his face, but Shu successfully caught it. Yui giggled and stomped all the way out of his room humming "I'll wait outside"

Looking back at the memory Shu has to admit that they were happy, he was happy with her, however their happiness and love has been short-lived. His life became a bliss of genuine happiness when she came into his life, but when she left just like how she entered his life unexpectedly Shu is stuck in a never ending loop of loneliness and longing, with nothing left but memories to look back at. His old remedy to keep himself from remembering no longer works, music is not enough to ease the pain. Whatever he does is futile.

"Pathetic" Reiji said interrupting Shu's thoughts "You know she is never coming back, yet here you are still waiting for her"

Shu stood up and was about to teleport elsewhere to avoid his brother when Reiji spoke again "Escaping when triggered, a good tactic for a coward"

"I'm not waiting for anyone, the sofa seems inviting that's why I'm here, but you just ruined the mood" he replied "Fuck off my life"

"Using vulgar words, your manners are deplorable and intolerable" Reiji removed his glasses and crossed his arms "Seeing you first thing in the morning sulking at the entrance hall just ruined my day"

"Glad I did so"

A/N: As written on the summary this is the sequel to Monochromatic. I might not be able to update or publish my stories as fast as I was from before due to personal reasons, but I'll try my best to update at least twice a week. So, should I continue?

By the way, I published two new stories (Enigma and Beyond) about DL.
