Limelight
Caelan smiled in satisfy as Valkyrie walked further and further away from him. He touched his lips which met Valkyrie's seconds ago before he turned his back to see someone on the door. He was leaning on the big tree with a slightly annoyed expression. Caelan walked closer to the other vampire, throwing a mocking smile toward him.
"Apparently I won, Dusk." He crossed his arms, getting his body really close to the other vampire.
"Wasn't expecting that coming." Dusk mumbled in irritation. "So what do you want from me, then?"
The truth is, just a day ago, Dusk caught Caelan saying Valkyrie's name while he was gazing at the sky. Well, he thought that Caelan fell in love with that Skeleton detective's acquaintance so, he just approached the younger vampire with smirk all over his face, confidently saying,
"Valkyrie got a boyfriend, if I have to refresh your memory. I don't think you will have a chance to even lay a finger on her."
"I know that she got a boyfriend." Caelan paused. "What are you implying? No, I don't love her."
"You don't or you can't?" Dusk smiled mockingly.
The vampire paused for a few moments. "Oh yeah? I'll show you that you're wrong. I'll kiss her."
Dusk was surprised but, he didn't really let his expression goes loose. "Okay. But if you got rejected then, you will do anything that I say for one full day."
"And if I win then you'll do whatever I say for one full day." Caelan smirked.
To tell the truth, the raven-haired vampire is quite shocked that he won the deal with the older vampire. Well... he never really gain a victory on anything against Dusk, all these times. So, to win like that is just satisfying. At least for Caelan.
"Hey." Dusk clicked his fingers, snapping the other man awake. "Are you going to make me do something or what?"
"O-oh, yes." He said slowly. Well, so he said. He has no idea what should he do at that current situation. 'The loser will do anything that the winner orders' just can only give bad image to one's brain. "Um..."
"So it will be better if I win this deal, after all."
Caelan blushed in embarassment and stared at Dusk, however, he didn't shout his objection. Instead, he turned his back and said, "well, actually I haven't been in your place for forever."
Dusk raised his eyebrows.
"Can I stay there for the day?"
The older vampire tilted his head sideways, staring at the back of the other guy's head. "Well... okay." That was unexpected. Dusk thought Caelan will come up with something harsher than that. Oh my, if only he saw the ear-to-ear grin on Caelan's face, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even think of that.
XxXxXxXxXxX
Dusk rummaged through his pocket and got a key. He stuck it inside the keyhole and there's a click sound before he pushed the door open. Caelan walked nonchalantly into the warm place and sat on the sofa as if he owns the place.
"So..." He leaned back. "What's for dinner?"
"What?" Dusk paused.
"What's with the what?"
"Are you expecting me to kill?"
"You got the wrong idea." Caelan face-palmed himself. "I mean, don't you cook?"
"Cook?" He asked before he laughed as if that's the most ridiculous thing he ever heard. "Cooking is for sissy."
"Dusk..." The younger vampire crossed his arms, staring at his face deeply.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Dusk rolled his eyes. "You are planning to enslave me in my own home, are you not?"
"Not really. But if you put it in the rude way, then, yes." Caelan smirked. Dusk sighed and turned his back, facing the kitchen. "Oh, Dusk..."
"What now?" Getting pissed, he looked at Caelan that was holding something that almost made his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Don't forget this." Caelan's smirk grew bigger with the white apron on his right hand.
"You're fucking kidding me." He froze. "No, no. Anything but that." He took a step back as Caelan moved closer to him. "Where the hell did you get that stuff from? I- I never have anything like that, not in this house, not that petty fabric. Keep it away from me..." He stopped when he hit the wall. Dusk. The Great Dusk is now cornered.
Caelan jumped at him, he can only screamed his fear out loud.
"You look cute in that." Caelan chuckled, trying to hold his laughter as best as he could. "Maybe you should wear that everyday."
"... Caelan."
"Yes?"
"You do realise I can break your tiny bones, snap your head, throw your guts and dance over your dead body here and now, don't you?" Dusk threatened the younger vampire. It's like an angry dragon trying to freak a little mouse.
"I know that." Caelan said, confidently. "But you won't."
"What make you so sure, you silly nincompoop?"
"You got a pride to take care of."
Dusk paused, smirked and turned his back. "True that. I won't back off on my promises."
Caelan sighed in relief silently, trying not to act like a fool. "Anyway. I'm starving now, Dusk."
"But I can break my promise once, right?" Dusk turned his body and pushed Caelan to the wall. This time, he's the one who is cornered. Caelan struggled but his power was no match for the older vampire. What has he gotten himself to? "Well?"
"N-no, Dusk!" Caelan closed his eyes when Dusk's teeth reached his neck. "You can't do this! I won the deal, just admit your defeat!" Dusk rubbed his sharp teeth on Caelan's soft skin. It was gentle, but enough to draw blood and make Caelan shivered. Dusk smiled. He backed away and loosens his grip on the other guy's arms. Caelan opened his eyes and swung his right hand towards Dusk's face. Unfortunately, Dusk has foreseen this and he blocked the attack easily.
"You can't beat me, Caelan."
Caelan gritted his teeth in anger. "Why?" He fell on the ground. "Why can't I rule over you for at least once? How come I'm always the one who got beaten up?"
Hearing that, Dusk softens his expression. "Alright, alright. If that's what you have been longing for. I won't object from now on." Caelan might not notice the slight blush on Dusk's cheeks.
"Really?" Caelan stared at Dusk.
"Yeah, yeah. Now, your order, please. Before I changed my mind."
Caelan didn't say anything.
"Oh right, you're hungry, aren't you?" Dusk asked.
"Uh, no. Not anymore."
"What's with that hesitated expression? You got what you wanted, right?" He crossed his arms.
"Well… it's just wrong for me. When you said that you will do anything that I told you, I just lost the interest to give you an order." Caelan confessed. "I guess what I want is for you to struggle and resist when I give a weird thing for you to do. Especially that disgusted expression."
"Oh. You enjoyed my agony, pain and sorrow."
"I didn't say that."
"What are you trying to say, exactly?"
"I guess I'm saying that… you're cuter when you tried resisting." Caelan blushed.
"Sorry?" Dusk twitched. "Cute?" He pulled Caelan's arm and threw him to the sofa. "Pardon me but I think you're cuter when you're begging for me to stop doing something." He leaned closer with both of his hands locking Caelan's arms. Slowly, his lips slightly touched the other guy's.
"D-Dusk!" Caelan closed his eyes and tried his best to get his arms free but it was no use. "Stop!"
"That." Dusk smirked. "Like that."
Caelan blushed furiously. He noticed that his feet were free from any obstacle so, he swung and kicked Dusk to the ground.
The vampire fell, but successfully rolled and got to his feet. The smirk was still on his face. He darted his tongue over his lips as the other vampire stood firm, getting ready to fight. He stared at Dusk cautiously, paying attention for what to come.
Dusk stood and sprinted forward, Caelan swung his fist but he ducked under the attack and tackled the guy in front of him. The younger vampire used his right hand to prevent falling down. However, before he was able to regain his balance, Dusk charged at him and pinned him down on the floor. There was a silent thud and a few seconds of pause.
"You can't win." Dusk said.
Caelan groaned. The third time he has been pinned today. "Get off me." He stared. "That's an order."
Dusk chuckled and loosen his grip. "Fine." He stood on his feet. Caelan then noticed that Dusk was standing on the white apron. With a slight grin, he pulled the apron hard, making Dusk lose his balance and fell down.
Caelan moaned in pain when he felt Dusk's weight on him.
"Whoops." The older vampire held his laughter. "I think that's what people call karma."
"D-Dusk..."
"Hm?"
"I think you should consider whether dieting is a good choice or not..."
XxXxXxXxX
"Oh, it's this late already?" Caelan saw the clock. "I'm going back to Midnight Hotel."
"Stay here for the day." Dusk answered. The other vampire gave him a weird look. "Well, that's what you said earlier! It's not like I want you here."
"So it's not a problem if I go back now, then."
"Y-yes! Not at all!" He crossed his arms
"I'm going back."
"Go ahead."
"I'm really going back."
"I- I don't care."
"I'm touching the doorknob, Dusk."
"W-why should I know that?"
"Look, I opened the door and I take a step out of your home."
"Oh my god, stop doing that to me." As fast as lightning, he reached the door with his hand holding Caelan's hand. "Stay here for the day." He stated. God, what am I saying? I think should jump off a cliff right now.
Caelan froze and stared at Dusk's face. There was an awkward silence. "But I really should go now."
Dusk sighed. "Okay, then."
"Bye." The younger vampire walked away as Dusk loosen his grip on Caelan's arm. It might be only Dusk's imagination but, he think he saw a slight blush on Caelan's cheek. "We should do this bet again, sometimes." He whispered.
Dusk's smirk returned. "And next I'll be the winner."
