It was a perfect spring day when the two boys about the age of seven or eight sat outside a little village all alone. They were children living in a time when not even their own parents would accept what they were. They were foolish, they were young. That's what they blamed it on as they desperately tried to forget the fact that they were happy.
It was a mistake they both admitted to yet refused to take a punishment for. They may have changed, but that doesn't exclude the fact that they did it just because they'd never do it again.
Yet as the memories of a young boy with vibrant green hair sitting next to another with silky blonde hair flew back into his brain, he couldn't help but wonder...would he do it again.
The boy with green hair smiled at the blonde boy before tucking some stray strands that covered his face behind his ear. He smiled back his scarlet eyes dazzling brightly in the sunlight contrasting the other's emerald ones.
The blonde boy laid down in the field of flowers gazing up at the puffy white clouds above before shifting it back down to the other boy who was still staring down at him. He couldn't help but giggle as the elder's eyes shone with nothing but affection for the boy and he pat the space on the grass next to him. The elder gladly took it and laid down next him his eyes still not leaving the younger's face.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" The blonde boy giggled grabbing the green haired boy's hand.
"Why do you hide your mark, it's so pretty?" He whispered moving his free hand to the youngers cheek.
He looked a bit taken back by the words of his friend before biting his lip and looking back up at the clouds. "I don't like it. It makes me feel ugly and insecure."
"Well, I do, and even though you mightn't I think it's adorable."
His words caused the youngers mouth to slip into a smile and his eyes to crinkle up with embarrassment. "Why are you so unoriginal?" He said lightly slapping the older boy's shoulder.
"Why are you so cute?" He replied pinching the younger boy's cheeks causing them to fade into a shade of red.
"Shut up, Kim Geon-hak."
"Don't tell me what to do when it comes to talking about my sweet Kang Yeosang."
The two boy's giggles slowly faded out as the sounds of crackles and muffled screams started to form from the village behind them. From the village that was engulfed in flames. From the village that had hated and abused them both.
Soon enough the giggles shifted into laughter, maniacal and insane sounding laughter as the sounds of screams grew louder. The begs and cries of children who found their dead parents disfigured bodies and the women who found their children's burning on wooden stakes. Their laughter grew louder as the fire behind them grew wilder.
No one would ever touch or talk to them like that again or they'd suffer the same consequences.
It was true. Burning to death is the most painful experience a human could suffer under. Yet taking it to the next level was always an option, just imagine how painful it'd be to burn and watch as your loved ones died with you or were already dead in your arms.
The boys both sat up, hand in hand and faced each other properly. Then they smiled like psychopaths when they saw the other side of the person's face.
It was covered in a sticky red substance and if they looked down the others neck clear bite marks had been dug into their skin.
Slowly as the last scream faded out, being replaced by the sounds of the raging fire that consumed the village they turned in its direction. Once they did however, the fire, vanished. Suddenly the wildlife around them took over the burnt buildings and structures before becoming still once again.
The boy named Geon-hak reached down into his pocket and pulled out a red box, almost the same colour as the other boy's eyes. He opened the box with care and smiled back up at the boy named Yeosang as he pulled out two golden necklaces, each with a single shimmering blue crystal hanging on the end of it.
"One for you and one for me." He giggled distrusting the necklaces, "blue is the colour of wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith and truth. But most importantly loyalty." Geon-hak placed the necklace around his neck before doing the same to Yeosang's.
"With this necklace I swear that I will do my best to prove these attributes to you. I will show wisdom, confidence, and intelligence so you can always have a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most. I will have faith in you and everything you do; I will always tell you the truth no matter what. And most importantly of all, I promise that I will forever be loyal to you. I would follow you to the end of the world and respect your decisions even if it meant my death. I refuse to allow you to get hurt."
Yeosang looked at him, his scarlet eyes brimming with tears as the boy spoke to him. "And I swear to do the exact same."
As they held their pinkies out to each other and crossed them with the other's they pressed their foreheads together and grinned. Once they opened their eyes their grins faded and were replaced by shocked expressions.
Their perfectly perfect eyes had changed, and it was the happiest day they had ever experienced.
They...were blood mates.
Over a hundred years later the two boys sat on the top of an old, abandoned infirmary laughing into the other's arms. It had been so long since that fateful day and they had done so much together since then. However, despite the fact it was so long ago the two boys only looked like they were in their early twenties late teens. They giggled to each other, and they gazed into the other's eyes. They were a perfect copy of the other's, both the emerald, and the scarlet dancing together to show their connection.
Familiar scenes played out for them every once in a while, scenes just like the ones that corrupted them into what they were then. The laughter, the fire, the death and then...the escape.
They'd grown fond of that life, humans were bound to die anyway, why not help out them a little. The council never agreed with them though, but they didn't care it was only them in this world.
Everyone else was a nuisance.
An imperfection in their perfect world.
A prey in a group of predators.
They deserved what they got.
"It's time we go dear." The green haired boy whispered into the blonde's ear.
All of a sudden, the sounds of sirens flung themselves into the pair's ears causing them to laugh.
"Indeed, it is love."
And with that they vanished into the darkness psychotic laughter bouncing throughout the entirety forest.
They promised.
They promised to keep each other safe.
They promised to stay loyal no matter what.
They promised that anyone that got in their way would suffer the consequences.
They never broke a promise.
