-sama= higher official, leader

Pairing: Clavis x Lumiale

"Clavis-sama, What brings you here?" The light blued haired man whispered, petting a black bundle lying in his lap.

Clavis watched Lumiale with slight curiosity although none of this showed in his expression. He hadn't seen his younger companion in three days now and had missed the soothing sound of Lumiale's harp. He took a quick look at the water Guardian. He noticed nothing out of the ordinary. Lumiale's hair was as it usually was, dripping down his shoulders like water, no knots or slight tangles to mar its beauty. Lumiale's eyes now were shining and his rosy lips drawn into a smile. His tone showing no malice only a welcoming softness for his older friend. He was just as sweet and beautiful as Clavis saw him last. Clavis, expressionless finally spoke. " Lumiale, I have seen nether hide nor hair of you. What have you been up to?"

Lumiale simply smiled and with gentle hands raised the black bundle out of his lap. "Angelique, dropped by three days ago. She had requested I take care of this kitten. She is so busy with her cultivation now that taking care of a kitten would be out of the question for her. So I agreed to take care of it." Lumiale smiled as it meowed in his hands. " I'm sorry if I worried you Clavis-sama."

"Ah, a kitten." A slight smile began at Clavis's lips. " Your kindness and devotion for that girl are one in the same. May I hear your sweet music?"

Lumiale 's cheeks darken. " Of course, Clavis-sama but could you hold the kitten for me?" He smiled and with fragile hands he handed the kitten to Clavis. Clavis consented and felt the soft silk of Lumiale's fingers as the Kitten was exchanged. Lumiale tempted him in so many ways. Soft caresses between fingers, gentle smiles and silky hair next to beautiful lips. Three days was such torture to Clavis without Lumiale's smiling face.

The kitten stared upward at Clavis with brilliant green eyes, leaving Clavis's dark blue eyes staring back. Those green eyes were a clash compared to the darkness that surrounded them. Clavis pulled it to his chest in one sweeping motion and watched as it cuddle closer to his warmth. His long black robes making the kitten impossible to see.

How fitting! Lumiale's mind wandered as his cold distant friend held the kitten. The kitten seemed so trusting in Clavis's arms. Lumiale hadn't noticed Clavis's eyes on him till he looked up.

" Lumiale, get your harp and let me hear its sound." Clavis commanded while the kitten napped in his arms. His blue eyes focused on it raising and falling chest. Clavis was so handsome when he was happy. Their eyes met leaving Lumiale murmuring a hasty reply.

"I'll go fetch it, Clavis-sama." His cheeks darken once again. Clavis was the same man he always was. He blushed even now as he thought about the dark haired man with a dashing sets of blue eyes. He knew he didn't love Angelique but did he love Clavis?

His harp was settled near his bed where he had left it the night before. He hadn't used it since the kitten had arrived. The kitten had refused to stay put unless within the warmth of Lumiale's arms so he could never even hold the slender wood and pluck the fine strings. He didn't mind the kitten. It was beautiful and above all eager to play with. He hadn't remembered the last time he played with anything. He was pleased that Angelique had given him the kitten.

"What is the kitten's name?" Clavis asked as Lumiale returned and sat across from him.

"Luna, like the Goddess of the moon." He whispered, his sapphire eyes staring at the kitten.

"Luna..." Clavis let the interest flow into his voice as he repeated the name. His eyes still interested in Lumiale rather than the sleeping Kitty. As he noticed Lumiale's cheeks darken a thought caught him. Did Lumiale know he felt strongly about him? Their eyes both found each other and they simply stared, both taking in each others beauty. Their gazes broke when the cat meowed in Clavis's arms.

"Please, begin." Clavis requested, petting the Kitten back to its warm nest.

The music began sounding sweet, mixing with the emotions of Lumiale's heart. He watched Clavis now and thought of him as the music was played. Love, his love was played in the air. Who was this love for, Clavis, the beautiful dark haired man across from him? The kitten in Clavis's arms, the smile in Clavis's face. He wanted to be held and kissed by Clavis. Did that mean he loved him?
