A Different Pace

-Just Getting Started-

035 or "Brutus" was standing infront of a huge crowd bowing along with a long line of people next to him. He had just finished one of his plays. It was about two lovers who never got the chance to be alone. Brutus was wearing a red shirt tuck into his pants. He also had a long red shiny cloak that seemed to be never-ending at times. With two starry clips of a rose gold color, there was only one small thing that stuck out from all the crimson. In middle of a choker like necklace, he had a crystal that seemed to become a rainbow color whenever the moon or sun shined on it.

The play took longer than expected so, he was there longer than he had told "049". 049s name is "Luna", yes, 049 was originally a girl, but, "she" said that "she" wanted to be a boy. Brutus doesn't mind this, in fact, Brutus liked loving boys more than girls. After the curtains closed, Brutus started to make his way home. Before he entered house, he found some lavender out back. He knew that Luna loved lavender and it's smell. It helped him calm down whenever he was stressing over all the little things, which, was more times that you would expect.

The porcelain mask, gleaming, he entered the house. Brutus had expected Luna to be in his office possibly lost track of time, but, to his surprise, Luna was sitting on the couch re-reading a medical textbook. When Luna heard the door shut, he looked up and Brutus sat down on the couch next to him holding the small bouquet of flowers. "I got this for you, darling." The doctor peered down to see the bouquet of lavender. "Thank you, drops." Luna calls him that because when Luna first met Brutus, the black oily substance was just starting to drip down the masks face.

"I'm going to put this up in my office". Just as Luna was standing up, Brutus suddenly stopped him. "Not yet." The docter groaned at the masks little dramatics. "Do you really think that I'd leave my partner for two hours and not spend anytime with him once I got home?" Brutus made sure that he made it dramatic as he could by placing a hand on his forehead and tilting his backward head as if he was going to faint. Luna sighed. "There's a first time for everything". "Oh shush, mon cher". "Your trying to flatter me by useing french?" "That's new"

"What can I say?" "I'm a man of the theater." Luna took a second to observe Brutus. Then, he finally said, "I'm guessing that you won't leave me alone until we cuddle." "Am I right?" The mask chuckled. "Aw, you know me to well mon cher." Brutus curled up around the doctor and put his head in the little nook of his neck. Luna giggled softly. "Why are you like this?" Luna muttered under his breath. "Oh?" Brutus suddenly sat up. "Nothing, nothing." He pushed the masks face into his neck and brought him closer to his body. Brutus kissed Luna's neck softly and held onto him more tightly.

"Ha, your adorable when your like this, drops." With that, the mask sat up, and before they knew it they were kissing each other. Breathless, Luna sat up and said, "mayb--maybe we should st--stop.." "When we're just getting started?" With a more stable voice Luna quickly rejected. "Jay could burst through the door any second and... find..find..well, us!" Before Luna could say anything else, Brutus quickly kissed him. "Ugh.. drops!" "What about--mmm!~"
"Sucks to be you then."
