-Confessions and Trouble-

M-21 knocks on the door. "Huh? Oh hey, what do you need?" Seikatsu looks up at him. "That was a greeting. Are you hungry?" M-21 said. Seikatsu raises an eyebrow out of suspicion. "What?" She was confused. "I have money. You need to eat. I'll buy." M-21 said. Seikatsu stands up. "Okay, pick the place." She said. M-21 and Seikatsu soon leave the house.

"I know everyone is worried about you. Also, I spoke with Frankenstein." M-21 said as he and Seikatsu sat inside a fast-food restaurant. The two shared a pizza. "About my abilities…" Seikatsu said. She chews on her slice of pizza. M-21 looks at Seikatsu, "What does he mean to you? You two are close. He treats you as if you two are lovers." M-21 began to speak but he stops as he sees Seikatsu who had a serious expression. "We aren't even dating. I can't tell whether that man is joking or not. It's just teasing as to keep me from worrying too much," Seikatsu explains.

"Do you love him?" M-21 asks. Seikatsu could tell that M-21 was not amused. "I don't think so. I mean, he's not interested in a toy. Wait, why are you concerned with who I'm talking to? I'm not a child." Seikatsu said as she was curious. M-21 never acted this way towards her. Not until he saw her living in the house. "With everything happening you don't need to involve yourself in anything unnecessary." M-21 said as he knew Seikatsu would be angry. "Seems like you are playing the role of father. If someone likes me then you have to move past it." Seikatsu trying not to sound too cold.

"Look, I'm concerned. He touches you and I hate it. Damn you Seika. You've only met this man weeks ago and I've known you for years." M-21 said doing his best not to lose his composure. Seikatsu coughs as M-21's words were unexpected. She breathes to regain her composure. "What the hell? You have all those girls wanting you! Don't pin me on this subject! IF you need to say it then say it you, you ass." Seikatsu tries to not raise her voice.

M-21 sighs. He takes in a moment of silence. "I…like you." He said. "No. No you don't. I'm not your type." Seikatsu could not believe it. She did not believe it. M-21 glances away. "You and I are similar. I don't intend to lose you." M-21 said. Seikatsu was in shock. She places her chin in the palm of her hand. "You won't. Dammit you won't."

"This woman. She's a modified human, but for a mere experiment she displays class. Clearly this one is nothing of your work. Regis has told me her skills are impressive." Gejutel said as he sat across from Seikatsu in the Principal's office. Seikatsu could tell that the man meant business. She stares at the older male. "I'm not his doing. My name is Seikatsu. I'm because of his research. However, I prefer to be addressed as a person." Seikatsu said. Gejutel narrows his eyes, "She's a bit mouthy."

Frankenstein chuckles. He was happy with Seikatsu's behavior. Frankenstein sits next to Seikatsu and he places his hands in his lap. "You're a result of the Union?" Gejutel asks in slight surprise. "The lady is under my supervision. I have rescued her as she escaped a mutant who was trying to attack her. Miss Seikatsu is a joy to have here." Frankenstein adds as the older man fell silent. This silent made the woman nervous.

"Okay I will be speaking now. Who are you? Why are you here? And you shall explain yourself properly," Seikatsu spoke. Gejutel's eye twitched the monocle. "I am Regis's grandfather, Gejutel. I came here to discuss matters with your boss. Also, I came to see what Regis and Seira have been doing here. Regis told me that you assisted him before. What would you want as a reward?" Gejutel replies. He appeared to be a proud man. Seikatsu shakes her head in refusal. She did not want anything. "No thank you. I don't want anything. I don't need anything." She protested. Frankenstein had been training her for the past weeks. Her sanity was stabilized but Seikatsu was able to recollect memories of her past. The furthest Seikatsu was able to use her abilities currently involves her having a pair of floating arms made of her aura.

Another feature was the woman's aura spear could last for short periods of time. Whenever Seikatsu was around Frankenstein and he used his dark spear she could be triggered extending her time using her own spear. The woman was able to manifest her own aura-based abilities. "A woman who displays class and is modest. Frankenstein, this woman cannot be your lover." Gejutel said. Seikatsu coughs and she quickly shoots an angry look at Frankenstein.

"Not this again. Stop pissing people off with that joke." Seikatsu groans as she abruptly stands up to leave the room. Before Seikatsu heads out the door, Frankenstein speaks calmly, "Miss Seikatsu, could you please escort this man to your classroom?" Seikatsu sighs and turns around to see the smirk on Frankenstein's face.

The moment Gejutel began to speak in the classroom, Seikatsu was embarrassed and Mr. Park was once again nervous about the miscommunication. Seikatsu had her hand covering her face. Shinwoo and Ikhan could only laugh. Rai focused his attention on Seikatsu. "Oh crap. I hope this day ends soon. I know that Frankenstein has something to do with." Seikatsu thought and she lets out a sigh. "Seikatsu," Rai calls her name.

"Yes?" Seikatsu answers. "You look concerned. Are you okay?" Rai spoke as he looks out the window. Seikatsu looks at her textbook. "Something is going on, right? It isn't common for that guy to show up," Seikatsu said. "Gejutel wants to speak with me. I don't intend to leave. I made a promise to protect you." Rai thought. Seikatsu nods. The rest of the day dragged on and Seikatsu dreaded the awkwardness Gejutel would witness.

At the house, Seikatsu was helping M-21 wash the dishes. Ever since the day he confessed the two had grown closer. Although she still could not believe it. She did not believe that M-21 nor Frankenstein had an interest in her. "You should be entertaining the children not helping me clean." M-21 said. Seikatsu shakes her head in protest. She refused to watch Frankenstein struggle keeping his calm composure. The blond was not happy with the clutter. Seikatsu could sense the tension. "Oh, how is your wound by the way?" She whispers for only M-21 to hear.

"He scoffs as he knew Seikatsu found out about the attack. "I'm fine. It healed quickly. Sorry for not telling you." M-21 said. "Come on. I'm glad you're safe." Seikatsu says with a gentle smile. Shinwoo sneaks over into the kitchen to bother the two. "You're getting close to Ahjussi, Seika. You prefer older men?" Shinwoo said and Seikatsu tosses a plate in the air. The question was random and Seikatsu was startled.

M-21 catches the plate as it almost falls onto the woman's head. "What the hell, Shinwoo!" Seikatsu shouts. M-21 glares at Shinwoo and he places the plate back in the sink. "What? You two are whispering something and he made you smile so what did Ahjussi say?" Shinwoo asks being curious. The teen has a grin on his face. Seikatsu's eyes grow wide as her face was beginning to turn red. "Seikatsu was telling me how her day went." M-21 said. Shinwoo crosses his arms in disbelief. Seikatsu glares at Shinwoo.

"Unless you want me to remind you how Rai and Regis were dragged to meet girls." She said sternly. Shinwoo's eye twitches and he hurries back into the living room. Seikatsu and M-21 go back to washing dishes. "Dating advice, huh?" M-21 said. "Oh, you just don't want to know." Seikatsu sighs. "You are becoming just like him when it comes to scaring people." M-21 adds.

"Blame him," Seikatsu huffs.

As the day ended, Seikatsu was with Seira in her room. The two women were drinking tea together. Seikatsu had been showing Seira how to sew. The two women were sharing a conversation. "So, Rael was the one who attacked M-21. I want to see him. I know he has something to do with that time I wound up on the roof of the school." Seikatsu said. Seira looks at her hand places the cup down on the saucer. "He did not want the humans to notice." Seira said.

"I felt something different, so I snuck out. Though it was odd how I could not remember much while it happened." Seikatsu was sewing a pillow case and she continued to speak, "M-21 should have told me. Franky and Rai should have too." "M-21 doesn't want you to worry." Seira said as she watches Seikatsu sew. "As long as I am not triggered then it's fine. Also, Regis told me that this Rael tried to propose to you years ago. You weren't interested?" Seikatsu said.

Seira shakes her head. "He's not my type. But I see three people who like you. Rai, house owner, and Ahjussi." Seira said. Seikatsu coughs as she had hoped that Seira hadn't mentioned the topic. Now it was definite that Rai was interested. Possibly. "Please, M-21 is making sure Frankenstein does not tease me. Rai just wants to comfort me. Ah, wait…" Seikatsu had to think to piece everything together. The woman sighs and hangs her head low. "Shit…" she mutters softly.

"Ahjussi…" She thought as she continues to sew. "You are meeting Rael tonight, right?" Seikatsu asks. "Yes. Regis and I are going," Seira answers. "I am going too. I want to figure out why he attacked M-21. Royalty or not, no one harms anyone in this house. I dislike disrespect." Seikatsu said.

"That woman may be a modified human, but she cares for you two." Gejutel had told Regis and Seira, "She displays class even though she gets nervous. A woman like her is worth having as a friend. Perhaps you could learn from her…" "Ah Seikatsu is someone important. The Noblesse can easily smile when he is around her. Even though she can be blunt, but she is not a hassle." Regis explains. "Ha, Frankenstein likes her as if she is his lover. That does mean someone indeed." Gejutel laughs.

"What do you mean?" Regis asks as he was not a man to care for someone in that manner. "Just like the Noblesse, Frankenstein treats her with the respect no one else will receive. His feelings aren't flawed." Gejutel explains.

"Miss Seikatsu, when it comes to the attraction what do you look for?" Seira asks. Seikatsu blinks and stops sewing. She never thought about what type of man she was attracted to. Rai was handsome, quiet, and polite. He would always make Seikatsu feel at ease. Frankenstein was also handsome. He teased her daily, but he cared for the woman. The man took Seikatsu in his home after he saved her life. M-21 was a man who knew Seikatsu when she was a girl. Despite him being handsome, M-21 was sarcastic yet very protective. He did not trust leaving Seikatsu alone with Frankenstein. He was cold to most, but he had a warm side.

Each man had redeeming qualities and all of them were older than her. Seikatsu got along with them without any issues. "I…guess he has to accept me not being an experiment. That is a start. Ah! Wait, I never even dated so I can't really say…" Seikatsu said with a nervous laugh. "Let's go before it gets too late. We still have school in the morning." Seikatsu said. Seira nods. The women clean up then get ready to leave. Seira brought the dishes to the kitchen. Seikatsu found M-21 alone in his room. She saw him laying on his bed. Him staring at the ceiling.

"Hey." Seikatsu says as she knocks on the door to catch his attention. "Yeah?" He responds. Seikatsu enters his room and closes the door behind her. She then walks over to him and places her hand on his shirt. "Can you show me where he stabbed you?" Seikatsu asks. M-21 did not speak and he unbuttons his shirt to remove it. He tosses his shirt on the bed. Seikatsu kneels to take a closer look at the scar that was healing. She places her hand on the now-closed wound. "It was deep. I will definitely see something done." Seikatsu said. M-21 pats her head and pulls her up to stand.

"Don't do anything reckless. It's not a big deal." M-21 said as his arms wraps around her waist. Seikatsu fell into M-21's lap. "I'm going. Don't tell Rai or Franky." She said. This irritated M-21. He narrows his eyes and he holds Seikatsu close. Seikatsu glances at the scars on his chest. Seeing M-21 like this made her shiver. The woman places her hands on his cheeks, "Let me do this Ahjussi." She was concerned for her friend's safety.

M-21 stares at Seikatsu for a moment to place his hands on hers. "Then let me do this," M-21 said before he places a kiss on her lips. Seikatsu was caught off guard and M-21 falls on his back with Seikatsu laying on top of him. He kisses her again and this time it was a bit rough. Seikatsu kisses M-21 back then immediately sits up. Her hands pressed against his chest. Seikatsu was flustered and M-21 had his hands rested on her sides.

M-21 moves his hands to Seikatsu's face and he pulls her down for another kiss. "Ahjussi…?" Seikatsu breathes as she kisses him back once more. "I will expect you to come back safe. Or I will get you." M-21 said with a smirk. Seikatsu sits up and smiles. "Fine. Put your shirt back on." Seikatsu said and excuses herself. Seikatsu stands up and walks away. Before she could turn the doorknob to open the door, M-21 pinned Seikatsu against the door. His body pressed against Seikatsu's and Seikatsu huffs as M-21 held her. "M-21 come on," Seikatsu huffs in annoyance. "Promise you will be back." He whispers in her ear.

Seikatsu shivers and she quickly fumbles to open the door. "Okay, I'm going." She stammers and M-21 releases her. Seikatsu hurries out of the room.
