It was late and the sky was clear. The dark blue was filled with the shimmer of stars. These were the nights were Takano Masamune was sure that the choice to live in a quiet village was the right one, even if he had a longer ride to his job in the city. He was an Editor for Shojo manga at the Company Marukawa Shoten and the Chief of his department Emerald.
Like every time that he finally got home from work he still had a lot to do and since the sky was so clear and the air fresh, he decided to sit down on his veranda at the back of his house that gave a view to a forest close to the village he lived in.
Because of a lot that had happened in his past, he wanted to live somewhere more peaceful and looked for a small village close to the city where he worked at. His best friend, who helped him through these times, had tried to persuade him to stay but he was stubborn and till now he had been very pleased with his decision.
It was summer so the cold air that brushed around him was cooling him down from the massive heat. With the light of the moon and a small lamp that was attached to the outside wall of his house supporting his view to look at his manuscript, he worked and drank a coffee he made himself.
Time passed and he had finished his coffee but was only halfway through. He leaned back and took a deep breath.
''Should I take a break?'' he asked to himself while looking at the empty cup. Before he decided he started to stare off into the forest not too far away. The view was great and the wind calming. Slowly, Takano felt himself relaxing and leaning back into his chair. That was not to last long tough.
Suddenly he saw light shining from the forest. He sat up and watched it with suspicion.
As he saw that the light had died and smoke coming up he stood up, grabbed a flashlight and made his way over there. He wasn't sure if he went there because he was worried, curious or just wanted to get away from work but he was definitely going.
Instead of driving there, he just walked there and tried to ignore the feeling he'd regret it sooner or later.
Soon Takano noticed that taking a walk at the late night was indeed calming and refreshing. His thoughts just went all over the place but still, it has been a long time since he thought about anything besides work. A nice change for once.
A light smile spread upon the tall man's face while he walked along a sidewalk path leading him away from his village and a beautiful landscape made itself visible for him, even prettier than the sight from his house.
Staring at the beautiful sight made time pass so fast that it surprised Takano when he noticed that he had already arrived at the forest.
Determent to see what was with the light, he walked along between the trees. The path ended soon and he concluded that he'd find the way back easily since the trees weren't too close to each other so he had a very lucid idea where he could go to get out.
Takano was sure he saw the light not too deep in the forest so he just looked around and walked straight ahead.
After a while he finally saw close to a small river burned wood parts next to a tree which had small burning marks as well. He was sure it was here. The question now was who and why did it?
''But well whoever did it had probably already ran away or something. I should go ba-'' Takano's thoughts were interrupted by a figure leaning against a tree on the over side of the small river. It was a person that seemed to be sleeping.
''What the hell…'' he hissed out and jumped over the river to get a closer look of the sleeping figure. The closer he got he was able to see that it was a man that seemed to be smaller than him. His hair was short and brown.
Takano couldn't see his face since his back faced his direction.
With slow and silent steps he arrived the sleeping man. He crouched down to get a closer look of his face. Takano couldn't deny that he looked kinda cute but he also looked tired and somewhat sick.
Inspecting the body to look for wounds or anything else, just in case, Takano found the clothing the other had questionable.
A deep dark red vest, a black shirt and jeans with black leather boots and gloves. It was a miracle to see someone dressing like that in this century. He figured that this person must be something special or maybe even a butler, but if, where would he be working and why is he here then….?
Takano tried to wake the stranger up but didn't managed to. He was not really sure what to do. He couldn't just take a stranger with him but neither could he just leave this man here on his own when he was obviously in need of help.
Suddenly the sleeping man stretched himself a little and hugged himself, seemingly trying to protect himself from the cold.
Takano was glad that he seemed to continue sleeping but he knew that he had to help him. The man looked too innocent while sleeping.
It was hard but he somehow managed to get the other on his back by leaning him against the tree.
Takano was annoyed at how deep he was sleeping. He probably could have done whatever he wanted and the brunette wouldn't have woken up. But feeling how thin he was lowered his mood.
Gradually he made his way home. He was worried for a second that he wouldn't find back out of the forest but he managed to very well to his astonishment. The thin body on his back started to move closer to him, searching for warmth from the others body.
It was somewhat adorable how a blush appeared on the cheeks of the other man while he started to mumble against Takano's neck.
The calm breathing next to his ear was relaxing as well and Takano started to enjoy the situation. He also enjoyed to see two slightly sharp teeth from his faintly open lips. It was a little awkward but also adorable. He knew if he'd get to know him more he would tease him for that.
Takano started to play around with his thoughts, creating ideas of what he could do with him and what a person he could be but a small deep sigh of the other distracted him again.
With a wide smile on his face, he glanced over to the head on his shoulder.
''I'm excited to get to know you.'' he said, feeling weariness coming over him. He couldn't wait to finally go to bed.
