Chapter 1: Goodbye. Maybe We'll See Each Other; Someday
Waves crashed onto the shore of the cave. Inside the cave, a body lay. It belong to none other than the infamous Phantom Thief Noir. He opened his eyes to see the face of a worried Florian Du Rochefort. The person Noir had fallen in love deeply with, not that Florian knew. Florian smiled and said 'I'm gals that you are alright Noir,"
"F-Florian," Noir managed to say before he fell into a deep sleep. Florian panicked at first but then he put his head on Noir's chest and heart beat. He sat up and was relived that he was ok. He then saw that there was a little boat coming and as the boat came closer he saw that is was Michel and Solomon he quickly ran toward the stairs he had found earlier, which after a while reached a little cliff that was next to the castle were he and Noir were reunited when Florian though Noir was dead.
Solomon Sugar jumped out of the boat before it even docked into the shore. While Michel yelled at him "Solomon where are you going?"
"I thought I saw Florian run up the stairs! Take Ray back to the boat and have Laila treat his wounds!"
"Fine! We'll wait for you but hurry back because we need to treat his wounds and it has to be on the ship!" Michel yelled back as he ran to get to the unconscious Noir.
Solomon ran as fast as he could up the stairs. When he reached the top he saw that Florian was at the edge of the cliff. He ran as fast and as quietly as possible as not to alert Florian that there was someone there with him. He was only a few feet away form Florian but then he turn his head around and he saw Solomon he quickly tried to get away form him but Solomon put extra speed and caught Florian by his wrist.
"Wait! Florian why did you want to run away from me?"
Florian didn't answer instead he looked away form him. His golden hair covering his amethysts eyes.
"Aren't you worried about Noir?" Solomon felt Florian stiffen at that.
"He's in good hands with Laila," Florian replied after a while.
"Why didn't you wait for us? Aren't you going to come with us?"
"No. I think it's time for me to leave Ray and for me to start my own life. I don't want to become a burden and I don't want to depend on him. I'd be the best for the both of us."
"Best? Ray would be heart broken at here that. He loves you too much and he doesn't want to lose you at all"
Florian yanked his wrist out of Solomon's grip.
"Don't you think I would? I love him too! But I don't want for him to go through what he did in saving me! I just don't" Florian finished quietly.
Solomon stood quiet. He was surprised he never seen Florian like this. "Were will you go?'
"Right now I need to just stay away form him. I'll like it if I stay with you when we get back to Paris. Right now when we get back to Italy I could stay in your room until we depart to Paris."
"Fine Florian, stay here and I'll be back to get you, I need to get back to the ship where they are taking Ray. I'll just say that I need to come back to get clues and I'm sure Michel will lend me one of his boats." Florian just nodded
Before Solomon left he said. "You'll only be hurting Ray."
"No. Solomon the one I'll be hurting myself more. Ray is a strong man he'll recover."
Solomon left without another word. "I hope" He looked at the ocean, and he saw the boat that carried away Noir and the rest of the group. He let the tears run down that he'd been holding.
Noir opened his eyes to see a familiar ceiling. He groaned as he moved his body. His whole body was sore and bruised.
"don't move that much Noir," Laila scolded gently. "You are going to reopen some wounds"
"Where are we?"
"Home"
"home?"
"Yes we come back a few days ago, you were pretty much out of it but we could move you and I thought it'd be best if you woke up to a familiar room,"
"How long?"
"About four days,"
"What?"
"Well considering the fact that you were shot, drown and you have lots of scrapes, cuts and that bump in your head I'm surprised that you actually woke up in just four days,"
"Tch I'm a fast recoverer ,"
Laila laughed. "That is true,"
"How's Florian doing? Is he alright?" He wanted to see his precious amethysts and the smile that was suited to graze that beautiful face of his.
Laila cheery face and laughter faded in an instant. She put on a sad expression. Noir heart speed up as if it knew what she was going to say.
"I'm sorry bit we couldn't find him not even his body. We went back and he wasn't there," Laila whispered as tear fell down on her face. Noir didn't look at her and he stood quiet. Laila took the hint. She went out of the room and said "I'm sorry we couldn't find him."
When he saw that the door was closed he let the tears that he'd been holding fall.
"It can't be true! It's just can't be!" Noir cried out. He couldn't believe it! After a while Noir feel asleep. That was the only thing he wanted to do right now sleep so he could at least see his beloved's face if only in his dreams.
Florian looked outside the window from the apartment he was sharing with Solomon, he sighed, he had been here or almost three weeks, and he hadn't heard from his friend he had written to. He had actually found a job as a clerk attendant in a book store. He had only had to put a black wig and glasses and no one recognized him. He had to work because he wanted to pay to Solomon for letting him stay here. Solomon, strangely had enough money to but him new clothes.
"It may not be from the brands that you are used to but it's better than anything." Solomon had said to him when he had taken him to but his clothes.
"Don't worry, I'm really not one of those aristocrats that just want the best, what I can have I will take."
Solomon had smiled at that and had thought 'That is true'
Florian looked at the clock in the table next to the couch were he was sitting reading. He had come form work early since for some reason he wasn't feeling well. He knew something was wrong but he didn't know what. About and hour later Solomon came home.
"I'm home," Solomon said as he came into the living room.
"Welcome back," Florian said as he closed the book on top of his lap. "I'll get started on dinner,"
Solomon nodded. He sat on the couch where Florian had been sitting not so long ago. He went into the kitchen.
"Oh by the way Florian, there a letter for you I forgot to mention it to you, since you left in such a hurry,"
"Oh, thank you it's probably my friends." He called back from the kitchen.
After half an hour both men were sitting down on the dinner table. They were talking about the case that Solomon was working on. It usually went like that. Florian would talk about his day and Solomon about his cases or just about other random stuff. Once the dinner was over and Florian was done washing the dishes, he sat across Solomon who had some case files in his hands and reading them. While Florian read the letter that he was delivered to him. The letter was sent to him by his childhood friend Heather Du Betrax. He hadn't told Solomon but he was planning on moving as soon as the letter had arrived his friend approving for him to live with her.
"Anything else you want to tell me Florian?" Florian quickly look up to meet Solomon's eye's. He knew better than to lie to the detective.
"Well actually I do. I'm-planning to move all the way to England."
Solomon raised an eyebrow. "When are you going?"
"Probably in two days. I need to buy the ticket though,"
"Hmm, well if you need help let me know,"
"Sure. Now it's you turn, what is it that you want to tell me?"
Solomon smiled and said "How do you know?"
"Because ever since you came home you've been wanting to say it but something has stopped you. Now talk."
"Well I was going to keep this until he was better but I guess you figured me out,"
Florian frowned, dread clutched at his heart. "Is it Ray?"
Solomon have him a sad smile. "He's been sick lately. Although his injuries have healed. He never wants to get out of bed. All he does is sleep and it's seems that he's not eating either."
"What?!" Florian suddenly sat straighter in the sofa.
"He's been like that since a week ago."
"And you haven't bother to tell me because?"
"I thought it would just pass but apparently he was like that since Laila told him that you were dead, in other words it depression."
Florian shout out of the sofa quicker than a bullet he ran to get his coat and keys.
"Were are you going?"
"To visit him, I'm leaving in two days and I need to know that he will be okay,"
"But it's late"
"I know how to take care of myself," Florian shouted as he slam the door shut.
Solomon sighed as he sat down on the sofa again and started to read the case files again. "So stubborn, I guess that is a reason why Ray fell in love with you," he laughed as added "But then again it's not the main reason that he loves you,"
Florian walked through the streets at a fast pace. He needed to go and see Noir he JUST needed to see if what Solomon said was true. He final reached the house that he lived the last year. It looked the same as ever it was just a dark outline in the foggy night. He looked both sides of the street and pulled his cloak even more tighter. He went to the side of the house. When he was living here one day he found a passage that even Noir didn't know about. It was in the kitchen and led out by the side of the house. He just has to pull away a few shrubs and the passage appeared. He went on his knees and he crawled into it. When he was inside he stood up it was dark but since it was only one passage he could easily walked without a light beside he had used this passage to get away form Noir a lot of times. When he pushed open the door that led to the kitchen he saw that no one was around. Of course that was only to logical it was in the middle of the night no one was awake in this household. He quickly and quietly as possible made his way to Noir's room and he opened the door to his room. What he saw wretched his heart. His precious Noir was in the bed pale as a ghost. It looked like he was sleeping. As he got in the room he closed the door quietly and locked it. He walked to the bed.
Noir felt that someone was in the room but he just pretended he was asleep he didn't want to see the eyes of the person and only seeing pity and sadness. Then he felt a cold hand on his forehead he went rigid at the touch. HE knew that touch anywhere. He opened his eyes to met the eyes of a worried Florian. Noir smiled, his first smile in weeks. "Florian your alive!"
"Of course silly or else I wouldn't be able to touch you." As Florian put a smile. Noir frowned. He didn't like the smile that his beloved was putting.
"Noir I came here just to tell you that you should get better if not for yourself then please for the people who love you and don't want you to see you get hurt and suffer like this." Florian said as he gripped Noir's hand. "If not for them then for me""Since I thought you were dead the only thing I wanted was to go to the same place as you. I lost the will to live."
"Noir why would you do that? Why?" Florian said as tears fell down his face.
Noir sat up as best as he could and pulled Florian to him. Florian gasped as he fell on Noir's lap. He quickly sat up and looked at him.
"Why you ask? The answer should be simply my amethyst because I LOVE YOU," Florian's eyes grew big in surprise his tears stopped. Noir captured his lips in a steamy kiss. Florian kissed back with as much passion as he could muster, tears again falling.
"Don't cry those amethyst's will be clouded," Florian stopped his crying and he told him. "I love you too," Florian got up from the bed and he went over to the tray that was on the beside table that he had seen when he has come in. In the tray there was soup and bread. It must have been left recently because the soup and bread was still hot. Florian sat next to Noir and he fed him. When Noir was finished, Florian got up and he went into the bathroom he filled the bath tub with warm water. He helped Noir into it and he shampooed his hair and he made Noir wash his own body. While Noir was doing that Florian went and he got new bed sheets and a new night gown for Noir. Noir was already sleepy with the thing he had done. Florian went and got his medicine. He saw that one of the medicine made him sleep. He gave him ore that was needed so he could fall asleep well. Florian looked at Noir, he looked much better he had color coming to his face and his hair was shining better.
"Now Noir go to sleep,"
"Don't treat me like a little kid," Noir grumbled.
Florian chuckled and said "To me you are a kid," he wrapped the covers around Noir. He was going to say something but he felt suddenly sleepy. He looked over at Florian who was putting his cloak back on.
"Why?"
"Noir please just forget about me, promise me that you won't go into a depression, that all I am asking," Florian said as he knelled down by Noir's bedside.
"I will but only if you promise me that you'll only love me,"
Florian smiled and he kissed Noir. "I promise," was all Noir heard before he shut his eyes.
Florian looked at the train that was in the station. He looked over at Solomon who was with him.(A/N Don't know how to get from Paris to England. So just work with me beside my fanfic my rules)
"Well Florian I'm going to miss you,"
"I will to Solomon. I'll be writing every week or so. I'll be checking on Noel but Ray too,"
Solomon laughed and said "I'm not really surprised."
"All aboard to England!" the ticket guy yelled.
"Well Solomon I'll be seeing you,"
"Yeah, see you,"
Florian got into the train and the compartment that was his, he looked outside the window and saw Solomon there, He put his luggage away and as he was rearranging his luggage as package fell down. He picked it up. As he sat down he opened it and there was a book there as he opened it a letter fell. He picked it up and it read.
This is just for the long trip. Take care. I'll be waiting for your letter. Hope everything goes well.
Solomon.
Florian looked at Solomon at the same time the train moved. Solomon smile grew and he waved. Florian waved back until Solomon's figure disappear.
"Noir, we'll see each other, someday, until then please be safe," Florian whispered, as he looked outside the window and saw the first snowflake fall. He smiled and settled into his seat and open his book. The first snowflake fell as if keeping that promise for Florian.
