Chapter One: PROMISE

-------------------------

Inside his room, Jr. sat on bed, put his hand on his right chest firmly. His jacket was hanged on the wardrobe. He can feel Albedo's heartbeat. He really wished he can meet up with Albedo again, he hasn't seen him for a very long time. He missed that white haired man.

Jr.'s room's door was opened. Gaignun, his younger brother, appeared. He brought a gift box on his hand, wrapped in wrap paper with white flowers parchments and tied by blue ribbon. The URTV 669 stepped forward to the URTV 666, staring with his calm green eyes.

"How do you feel, Rubedo?" Gaignun asked gently. He sat on Jr.'s bed, near that red haired boy. He put the gift box beside him.

"I'm fine. I told you, it's just a damn cold," Jr. answered cheerfully. His face looks pretty red.

"You still need to rest, Rubedo. How much is your temperature?" the black haired man asked again. He scooted closer to the boy.

"Shelley said it's 38ºC. I feel healthy," Jr. smiled. He put his hand on his right chest again, feeling Albedo's heartbeat. Gaignun noticed that. "What brings you here, actually? I thought you got a lot of stupid meetings with the other businessmen," Jr. added.

"Here," Gaignun gave the gift box to Jr., who opened the wrappings slowly. The boy gasped when he saw what's inside it.

"Wowies! It's the newest model of Silencer produced by Hyams! Wait, this type hasn't been released yet… How did you get this, Gaignun?" Jr. asked in curiosity. He held the gun carefully; make sure there's not even a scratch on it. His eyes were filled by happiness.

"Well… I pre-order it. It supposed to be distributed to shops this night, but I forced the company with some… money… to get it faster than anyone else. Do you like it?" Gaignun smiled. Jr. nodded, he observed the gun with his blue eyes. Gaignun felt tickled when he saw his brother's childish act.

"Holy crap, you're so sweet!" said Jr.

"I'm glad," Gaignun smiled. He held Jr.'s hand, "Your happiness is my happiness, Rubedo. I feel grateful to see you so happy like that. Your smile erased the burdens on my shoulders," he hugged the boy. Jr. can feel that his face turned really red and hot.

"Gaignun, this is not like you. What the hell was the matter?" the boy who also called as Rubedo asked in confusions. Gaignun didn't answer. He only hugged that boy tighter and tighter.

"Promise me you won't leave me," Gaignun whispered, "I need you beside me, Rubedo. Only you. Please, promise me that you'll always stay by my side. Promise to me, Rubedo. Please…"

Jr. replied Gaignun's hug. "It's all right," he whispered softly, "I'm here, Gaignun! I'm here! I'll always stay at your side. I promise. I meant it!"

"Thanks…" Gaignun's face turned red. He released Jr.'s thin body, "I… I have to go now. Stupid meetings… You know…" he mumbled randomly as he walked out from the room. Jr. stared at his back, and then he kept his new gun inside his 'collection ward'.

Suddenly, Jr. felt really bad. Someone appeared in front of him, suddenly.

"Albedo?!"

To be continued to the next chapter: ENVY

--------------------

After writing chaos x Jr., I decided to write a fanfic based on the relationships between the 3 male variant URTVs—Rubedo, Albedo, and Nigredo. A love story based on them will be interesting to write.

This is the first time I make a story which divided into chapters though.

So… Please, give me reviews.
