Gankutsuou
by D. Reed
He was drawn like a moth to a flame.
The Count's mysterious and debonair demeanor had charmed Albert so quickly upon his arrival that he had little choice in the matter. Even Franz, his long-time friend, was powerless to pull him away.
Franz didn't like the Count. Didn't trust him.
Albert didn't care.
After a while, Albert began to wonder if the Count had singled him out for some reason. Why the Count would pick him out of a crowd was beyond him. Perhaps it was Fate. Perhaps it was Destiny.
Or perhaps the Count had planned it all along.
