'This is awkward', Hikaru thought to himself.

He trailed his obsidian eyes along the Fehu in front of him who was wearing a wide brimmed hat that was wide enough to cover his whole face. But, right now, Hikaru could clearly see that the Fehu was staring at him with hostility as if the Fehu was observing his every move. Yup. This was so awkward and uncomfortable.

"Um..." Hikaru started again, but it wasn't easy. The glaring was uncomfortable enough, causing his stomach to be turning inside out.

'Wha- what is it?! Did I do something to him?'

"So, you're the Three Musketeers' Jiwa?" the Fehu questioned Hikaru while his silver eyes still stuck stubbornly on Hikaru's face like gum.

Hikaru's eyes were opened wide upon hearing that question. From what he remembered, Noon only introduced Hikaru as Noon's Jiwa, not all three of the guys'. Did the news had already spread all over Lowell Town? Just how infamous were his Jiwas that even Fiorre who was basically a stranger to Hikaru, knew things about them?

Fiorre exhaled a sharp breath in annoyance as he crossed his arms over his chest. It was only a little, but Hikaru could see Fiorre's eyes were shaking as the beautiful Fehu drew in a deep breath. Hikaru could also hear Fiorre's breath was shaking as if he was holding in his tears or maybe pain.

"Are... you okay?" asked Hikaru carefully with a soft voice full with concern.

Fiorre shook his head and calmed himself down. This is not the time to be emotional. He knew that he was no one to Hyde. He knew that Hyde felt pity, so the Uruz did everything he could to help Fiorre cope up with his pain and live on day by day. But still, he wanted those touches and those gentle words to mean something. He had fell so hard, both in life and in love. So why couldn't God let him take just one person that was so precious to him? Why must He gave him hopes, only to take it back?

"Miss Fiorre?"

Fiorre blinked out of his thoughts and looked at the confused Fehu at the counter. "...Just give me the usual medicine."

Hikaru looked for Fiorre's record in a fluster. In the meantime, Fiorre leaned over the counter while looking at the all kinds of medicines and herbs that were neatly placed on the wooden shelves all around the room. The room reeked of the mix of various kinds of herbs and medicines, slightly making him dizzy and his head aching. Fiorre rubbed his temple and closed his eyes lightly.

Meanwhile, Hikaru's round eyes froze at Fiorre's medical records. It was written there that the Fehu was rejected by his Jiwa almost four years ago and had been taking painkillers and mood stabilizers religiously since then. But, from what Noon had told Hikaru, even those medications couldn't make all the pain go away. Researches were still ongoing to help those rejected Fehus, but unlike rejected Uruz (which was really rare, by the way) rejected Fehus had experienced more pain when their bonds were broken.

Hikaru raised his head and looked at the Fehu in front of him. This one apparently had missed his one month worth of medications. He was probably in pain right now.

Hikaru quickly packed the medicines for Fiorre and handed the package to him. However, before he could do that, Fiorre fell on the floor out of nowhere. Hikaru gasped in shock and hurriedly went to the rescue. It was then that his hand accidentally brushed off Fiorre's hat and revealed the single small horn on the silver-eyed Fehu's left side of his head.

Hikaru was quickly mesmerised by the beautiful horn. It was bigger than Hikaru's black horns, and also was beautifully curved upwards. The colour was as white as snow. Hikaru knew right at that moment that this Fehu had taken care of his horn very carefully.
