Note: Heh, heh, sorry about the bad combo, but thanks for telling me on your thoughts of it! I promise not to do anymore crappy song fic chappies – or at least try not to do too many of them lol. Do'y mind if I just do one more? It's for the ending – and I found the perfect song(s) for it! It's by Savage Garden, and I'm planning on doing a medley of their songs – just bits and pieces ¦-) do you think that would be a good idea? Or would I be drawing this out a bit too long?

Thanks again for all your reviews! ¦-)

Disclaimer: nothing owned so nothing lost! Sorry for the shortness Bo Jang, I was kinda rushing lol. I don't like to keep people waiting for too long – and succorelle – 'This plot is more twisted than an anaconda in a bowl of spaghetti' ¦-D I like that! Thank you evilchibikrayonplushie but don't bash up Leeche too much! I still might need her for the fic! ¦p

Ok – here goes, a songless chappie you'll be relieved to know! ¦p Sorry about the OOCness Xp

¦¦¦

Eclipse POV

I can't wait for this damn ball to take place – I have my outfit ready and I will catch Raenef's eyes tonight, and confess to him how I feel. However I still can't get that image of Leeche clinging onto him like that, on the floor for goodness' sake! How dare she! He even told her to get off of him and she did not!

Leeche – just you wait until tonight! After tonight – I swear that the next time you see Raenef will be through the manor gates! That's as close as you're ever getting to him again you spoilt brat! (AN: sorry if you like Leeche! She's ok honestly, but uh… I'm just playing out the story! Sorry!) And touch him again the way you did, I'll kill you myself.

Pacing up and down my corridor, I look out longingly from my window, where I can see the spectacular décor that everybody has contributed to doing up this past twenty four hours in the hall – it's… beautiful. The musty old ballroom has been magically transformed into any ballroom from a fairytale. (AN: couldn't think of any other way to describe it… but uh… I hope you get the picture!) The stagnant brown curtains have been replaced with draping gold that flow like a waterfall of sunlight, and the chandeliers have all been taken down and cleaned and a wonderful spectrum of light reflects from their now glistening crystals, which illuminates the room in rainbow hues.

It's… pretty.

I can't wait to see what the other Lords think of it. I hope that Raenef's plan, works well. All I can hope for is that everything will go well… tonight.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see Leeche stalking the corridors, looking for Raenef no doubt – and an impossibly feral grin lights the corners of my upturned lips. I think – I have the perfect idea.

¦¦¦

Sometime later (so imaginative lol ¦p)

I clap my hands together pleased with myself as I lock the cupboard door that now sports an unconscious Leeche. I think that will keep her occupied for awhile, and I feel the sudden urge to laugh a maniacal laugh – like an evil genius that has succeeded in finally concocting the perfect evil potion.

So I do.

Until I turn to feel eyes on me, and whirl around to see the horrified expression of a kitchen maid, and I feel my cheeks pink from embarrassment, as without a word, I quickly walk into my bedroom and slam the door shut.

Shit.

That was so darn humiliating! And, as if to drive the point home, I hear a furious burst of giggling erupt in the corridor, and I wish… I wish that the ground would open up beneath me and swallow me.

Damn these urges. Damn them straight to hell and back!

They're more trouble than they're worth… but then thinking about it – not all urges are bad, right? And at this, I smile; I seem to be doing a lot of that lately, but… I don't regret it, as I think about a certain little lord of mine.

I'm sorry if you think I'm avoiding you my Lord, but… I have to keep this distance between us – until tonight, otherwise… I might never have the courage to sweep you into my arms as I've longed to do for a much longer time than I've realised, and that's something I certainly don't want to happen.

Backing away from – my confession to you, tonight, would be something that would make me hate myself for the rest of my life.

Someone once told me that love, was something to be cherished and proud of… even if it is that of the same gender; and tonight – I guess, I want to honour that wise saying, for after all – you only have one life, you might as well live it to the full, why spend your life thinking about what you want instead of doing something to get it?

And my Lord, I want you more then anything that I could ever dream of.

Don't worry Raenef, it's not long now.

Just hold on… a few more hours.

Please, and with that thought, I begin to prepare for tonight's finale.

¦¦¦

Sorry it's so short, but I just had a sudden attack of inspiration lol – those don't usually come often but ANYWAY! I just had to write something humourous-ish, 'cause I have exams coming up this week, and I wanted something a little-light-hearted because exams can be so disheartening y'know? And I speculate that I just wanted to make a few other people smile too ¦-) sorry for drawing things out so much! Xp

Dragonfly,
