Hello, there! This is my second update (not for this story but for another one) and so I'm feeling a little exhausted. Too bad it's on Wednesday and not Friday (or Saturday). Well, hope you enjoy!

Makoto walked, dragging his feet across the wooden floor to his room, where he lumped onto his bed and released a sigh of relief upon getting some blissful rest. Still with his uniform on, he gazed up at the ceiling, once again recalling a pair of blue eyes.
It had been a month since the incident with the nameless stranger with blue eyes. A month since he had saved his life, risking his own.
A month now that he had been unable to forget him.
There had been something...special about the character that had intrigued him since he first laid eyes on him. Sure, the circumstances at which they had met had not been the best but yet Makoto couldn't help the yearning that he felt then and now as he remembered the stranger's beautiful features.
He sighed, rolling onto his side and hugging his pillow close to his chest.
For some odd reason he had yet to decipher, since that fateful encounter, Makoto had a sudden burst of loneliness. Never had he acknowledged that emotion before; he would bury himself in work and on taking care of his younger siblings and family as a mean of distraction.
But no, this wasn't as simple as that. For once, the green-eyed brunette admitted to himself what he had been denying: he longed for another person. Longed to be held and to be cherished. Though these thoughts were that of a naïve teenager, there was no helping the sudden emergence of these emotions. But what was even more baffling than that was the fact that a mere stranger, one he hadn't even got a name from was the one that had awoken this inside of him.
He rolled over, again, onto his tummy, and welcomed sleep with thoughts of loneliness and longing still fresh on his mind.

Makoto walked down the dark streets, carrying bags filled with groceries. Due to his work, the only time available to do any sort of shopping would be at nighttime, and sometimes even then it was impossible do so.
Today, being one of those lucky days, the green-eyes firefighter continued his way home, all the while pondering what his meal should consist of. He lived alone with his cat and so his meals were usually simple dishes.
That day, though, he was in a brighter mood than other days, as if something marvelous would happen...Not that going to the groceries in the dark was an amazing event, but it was still lovely.
Then, Makoto recalled a pair of blue eyes for the gazillions time. Looking up at the night sky, it was almost possible to wish upon an encounter with the stranger that occupied his mind.
The night sky was glittered with twinkling stars that shone like diamonds (A/N: Pun NOT intended, freaking hate that stupid song :/). A nice breeze ruffled his brown hair, making him close his eyes in pleasure. Nights like these sure so peaceful...so quiet; like nothing could go wrong.
No longer had the thought formed in his head did a car abstractly stop in front of him. The tired screeched on the pavement.
"Wha-" He was cut off as two pair of arms reached out towards him, covering his mouth and shoving him in the car without a single word. The car drove disappeared faster than it had appeared, bags left on the sidewalk were the only evidence that anything had happened in this quiet, peaceful night.
(゚ロ゚) !
In a dark room in the middle of nowhere, a man was trapped behind a glass. His merman tail flapped back and forth as he observed the silence and darkness of the room. Or what was usually a silent room.
There was racked, noise, humans, everywhere, annoying him to not extent. He just wanted to be left alone, in the warm of the water, and the comfort of his tank. But his personal fantasizing was interrupted by a group of men that barged in.
"Sorry, for the interruption, my lord, but we have accomplished our task." The human male bowed his head towards the merman, who flapped his fin in annoyance.
"About time," he replied, "I was getting tired of waiting. Bring him to me." A man, probably double the size as the merman, was brought forth, hands tied behind his back, and mouth gagged.
"Hmph. Mmmf." The bigger man struggled against his bindings, but in vain, as they didn't give away.
The raven-haired merman flicked his wrist. Instantly, the man who had addressed him took off the blindfold on the fireman's eyes.
Brown eyes met blue ones.
The merman smiled. "We meet again." Recognition dawned in the Makoto's eyes as he realized who he was.
The man he was staring at was unlike one he had ever seen before. With jet-black hair and pale skin that reflected the water he was surrounded in. A single fin covered him from waist down, scales shimmering in the low lighting of the room.
But his eyes were unmistakable; he was the man Makoto had saved from the fire weeks back. But why was he there? Had he been kidnapped as well?
"Leave." That single word made half the dozen men who were in the room disperse, leaving the two alone.
Makoto grew confused, and terror settled in slowly.
The merman's mouth twitch in a mockery of a smile, "I'm Haru, and you are my prisoner now."
Well that is all for now, until next time! Don't forget to review ^.^ (or not...)
