Lovely~ (mikayuu)

chp. 2

Yuu's Pov:
I woke up in a pink room. The same pink room I had woken up in last time. I got up realizing Yoichi wasn't here. Then, I heard the bunk bed under me move. I sneaked a peek at the bed bellow me. I was on the top bunk and Yoichi was under me. I felt a rush of relief. But I shuddered when I heard footsteps in the distance. Maybe they will just pass by this room. But I didn't bet on it. After all, so many odd things have been happening recently. I quickly carried the asleep Yoichi into the closet. I squeezed inside the big closet too. The footsteps got closer and closer until it stopped right in front of our door. I held my breath and peeked out of the slight cracked open closet.

There stood an angel. He was dressed in white which I had almost mistaken for angel wings. He had blonde fluffy hair and eyes like the sky. I stood there with my breath hitched in my throat. But then I realized his attire meant he was a vampire. I gasped. This beauty is a vampire.

The beauty looked around the room before frowning. He seemed to be angry and worried. Just then Yoichi woke up. I hadn't noticed but Yoichi stretched his arms which bumped on the insides of the closet. My eyes widened in fear. The vampire sharply turned his head to the closet.

"Is someone here?" The vampires angelic voice said.

I covered Yoichi's mouth and put a finger over my lips. We were dead meat for sure.

"It doesn't matter. Whoever is in that closet. I know you're there."

I knew we couldn't keep up the act. I pushed open the closet door and Yoichi and I fell out. The vampire narrowed his eyes. I shivered.

I saw Yoichi get up then immediately back down.
"I'm so sorry your majesty. I didn't know you would come visit us," Yoichi spoke trembling.

Your majesty? Yoichi elbowed me to bow too. So I followed his lead.

"What are your names?" The vampire asked.

"I am Yoichi and this is Yuuichiro."

The vampire thought for a moment.

"Yuuichiro was it? Stand up and follow me."

I shivered but stood up like I was told to. Am I going to die like Yoichi's sister?! What's going to happen to me.. My thoughts were practically screaming.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you," the vampire reassured me. "So you are one of the new batch?"

I didn't know if I was allowed to speak so I just tried to show I was confused. The vampire laughed.

"I meant, are you new here?"

I nodded.

"You can speak. My name is Mikaela by the way."

I gasped. The Mikaela?! No wonder Yoichi was so formal! I bowed my head rapidly to show I was sorry I didn't know who he was.

"Haha," Mikaela chuckled, "Don't worry. Speak."

I nodded slowly. "W-where are we going?"

"To the garden."

I nodded some more and trailed behind Mikaela. The prince and I made some small talk before we reached the garden.

"I was wondering.. What happened to Yoichi's sister?" I built up the courage to ask.

"Oh.. I'm sorry you had to see her. She made a deal with... my mother."

"Oh.. if you don't mind me asking. Why does she make deals?"

Mikaela hesitated. "My mother likes to make bets. I'd say she has a gambling addiction. Anyways, she likes to get what she wants. Recently, she decided to make a bet with Ferid. Ferid is my horrible uncle. Since I am coming to the age where I need a bride, they decided to bet on that."
Mikaela paused. "My mother bet that I would pick a woman as my bride. Ferid bet I would pick a man. So they are bringing in tons of humans from around the world to be my bride."

"Oh.. then what is your sexuality?" I dared to ask.

"...Bisexual... Do you have something against gay people?"

"No, I.. I just don't know what my sexuality is..." I mumbled.

"So you aren't straight?" Mikaela asked hopefully. We turned a corner and there was the garden.

"..I'm as straight as a circle. But I dont know if I'm gay or not..." I whispered the last part. I shook away my thoughts and stared at the garden.

"I see.. Well, we are here!" Mikaela lightened the mood.

My mouth hung open as I stared at the garden. This isn't a garden... It's a whole ass biome! There was a waterfall in the corner which lead to a small stream that cut through the middle of the fields. A small bridge was placed randomly even though you could probably jump over such a small river. There were cherry blossom trees too, but they haven't budded yet.

Mikaela grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a shady spot. He sat down on a bench that was neat to the river. A couple ducks were there. I admired how cute they were.

"...Prince Mikaela.. Why am I here though?"

"..."

"..."

"...I picked you out myself..." He said under his breath. I almost didn't hear it.

My heart fluttered.
