Chapter 5
The First Star I See Might Not Be A Star
He couldn't ask.
He shouldn't either.
This was a Mazoku thing, after all.
If he asked, what would happen?
That boy had been Xelloss.
He was sure of it. That was why he couldn't ask.
He'd covered up the door, put the carpet back.
What he wanted was the books, after all. Only the books.
"See, Zel-chan, I made you dinner!"
"I don't want anything."
Xelloss pushed Zelgadiss' shoulder, pouting.
"Come ooon..."
"No."
"Humans have to eat."
"I'm not a human, I'm an ugly Chimera."
"Eat, see, it looks good, doesn't it?"
"... The salad is moving."
"Mou..."
"I'm not eating it."
"If you don't eat, you'll be eaten!"
Xelloss held up Zelgadiss' hand to his face.
Chomp.
"Ow, mai deef...!"
"You can go now.", Xelloss said, his lips touching Zelgadiss' ear.
A hand snuck around Zelgadiss' waist, another one on his neck.
Caressing.
Zelgadiss liked to believe that the desperation he felt from the other was real.
Besides;
"I... I need to check more of those books. I can't go."
He looked to the ground, rocks, just like him.
Maybe some of those rocks down there had once been like himself...
The rock was kissed by a beautiful Mazoku.
A Mazoku with soft lips and mischievous eyes.
He didn't have anywhere else to be.
The most beautiful place in the world was the balcony of the highest floor, at night. Lying on the balcony, watching the stars, feeling like nothing is as real as everything.
"They're the same as us." It hit him.
"Mm?" An eyebrow perched.
"They are. I'm Lina, you're Zelas."
The Mazoku sat up.
"That's..."
The Chimera rested his head on his shoulder.
"If they're like this..."
"Watching the same stars."
"Mhm."
"Two."
"Together."
And then words weren't needed anymore.
