Lie of Heartbreak

10

"Dev..."

"Sorry, do I know you?"

A tall dark blue-haired man asked Rose. Rose suddenly held his hand when the man passed.

"I'm sorry, I must be mistaken." Rose immediately let go.

"Ambrose Valen?" The man suddenly shouted, making people turn.

"P-Please stay quiet," Rose said immediately, raising his face mask. He started getting sober while worrying that more people might recognize him.

"S-sorry," He whispered, "So you are Ambrose Valen, right?"

Rose slowly nodded.

"Oh my gosh! Can I have your autograph? And can I please take a picture with you?" He squealed, taking a magazine from his bag.

"Ah, sure." Rose proceeded to take the magazine and pen from the man. It was a magazine of some of the clothes he had designed, together with designs from the designers in his company.

"I'm Cipher, CEO of Venice Styles. It's nice to finally meet you." He smiled, taking the magazine after Rose signed it, "Thank you so much!"

"Ah..." Venice Styles is another famous designing company in the fashion designing community, "It's nice to meet you too."

"Can we please take a picture, pretty please?" Cipher asked, taking his phone out.

Rose nodded, slightly sliding his mask down, smiling for the picture.

"It is Ambrose Valen!"

"Isn't that Cipher Venice with him?"

"Oh my gosh! I better share this to everyone,"

"Thank you!" Cipher smiled, "And... I think we should go now."

"Ambrose Valen! Please take a picture with me."

"Rose and Ci, I am big fans of the both of you!"

More and more people started gathering around them.

"Ah, I'm sorry. We're about to-" Rose was cut off when a fan suddenly held his shoulder, making him fall on the ground.

"Ouch." Rose held his wrist when he used it to help him stand up. It was hurt when he fell badly.

"Oh my gosh! Rose, are you okay?" Cipher crouched in front of him, helping him, "Keep your hands to yourself." Cipher told the fans that were gathered around them.

After, Rose started getting dizzy. Right, he forgot to take his medicine for the day. The pain on his wrist and the people gathered around them made him more and more nauseous.

Then he saw the familiar figure again, hoping this time he wasn't mistaken, "Dev..."

-

"Yes, thank you so much."

Rose woke up, a heavy feeling surrounding him once he did.

"He's awake! Please tell the doctor, Devon." Rose heard Cipher's voice. But what caught his attention was the name Cipher called out.

"Dev..." Rose said as he raised his head, the person about to walk out of the room stopping.

Cipher's mouth turned to an 'o', "Never mind, I'll go." Cipher smiled, "Please stay here and take care of Rose, Devon." Cipher stood up and walked out, tapping Devon's back on the way.

"Rose," Devon greeted. Rose finally saw him. He was wearing a suit, it fit his tall and slightly muscular figure.

"How are you?" Rose asked.

"We meet again and that's the first thing you ask me," Devon chuckled. I see, he's changed.

"You're not weak anymore, Dev... You've changed," Rose mumbled, kind of hoping Devon didn't hear it.

"I'm still..." Devon spoke, "I'm still weak to you, Rose."

Rose smiled, liking what he heard. Then, he fell asleep once again.

-

"Someone, you know?" Cipher asked Devon. He had already come back from calling the doctor, only seeing Rose asleep again.

"Yes, sir. Rose is an old friend of mine." Devon replied.

"Not an old lover?" Cipher smiled.

"No..." Devon replied, blushing a bit.

Cipher giggled after, "I see. Thank you for guarding us and coming at our aid earlier, I wish you could stay longer as a bodyguard of mine." Cipher smiled.

"That's my job, sir," Devon smiled back.

"Ms. August Tayniel will arrive soon. We'll have to get going now." Cipher took his bag and stood up.

"Follow me outside, hm?" Cipher said, earning a nod from Devon. Cipher stepped out first.

Devon approached Rose, holding his hand after.

Bye, Rose. 'Till we meet again.
