Sweet smile and sweet laughs, time stops when we see the one we love.
For a hopeless romantic, love is a hard feeling. During these times, it is hard for us to accept this feeling that circles around our heart, because our heart is weak. Afraid of b...
It's been over a month and the Moonlight Bliss has already won against the Afternoon Fire. Putting on her tie, Alleya lets out a sigh, how was she going to confront Fred now? She glanced at her phone, should she contact him?
***************************************
As he ties his grey tie, Fred sighs. He looks at himself in the mirror, should he go to school? Their teacher said that it'd be fine to take an absence; after all, he still has a lot of things to do. Ever since the Regium contest, a lot of letters came to them like crowds of arrows striking at them. He took his phone and messaged his friends.
"Are you guys going to school today?"Alex: No, I'm in front of the Modelling Building."What?"Alex: Yep~! I can't waste this handsome face; Miguel is with me by the way."He agreed?"Alex: Nope!"..."Alex: Are coming or what?"I'm not, I'll go somewhere... else.."Alex: Let me guess: The Regium Building."Yeh, bye."Alex: Break a leg!"ok"
**************************************
He turned off his phone and placed it in his pocket. He took his bag and headed outside. As cars drove on the road, the sun's grace shone upon him as he walked his way to the nearest Regium Building. He's only 19 but it could be more useful for him, as his thoughts wandered off, he was interrupted by a certain scent. He stopped in his tracks and looked for the owner of that scent. It was her, the girl whom he fell for and he wanted nothing more than to go after her and embrace her in his arms, unfortunately, she was engaged. He stared at her as she walks in the same direction as him. It has only been a few months and yet it's as if he hadn't seen her for almost a decade. He shook his head and continued on his way, if she felt the same for him then maybe there was a reason behind her actions, he just had to wait for the right time to talk to her. As he entered the building, his eyes landed on the stairs and he decided to take the stairs. He then walked towards the sixth door on the left. As he was about to open to knock on the door, his eyes widened as he heard her voice.
He didn't want to eavesdrop but his body refused to follow his mind.
"Can't we make it half a year?""No, it'd be suspicious, we need to make up a drama so the media would believe it. Making it months full of toxic experiences."
Fred knew he needed to stop listening.
"Let's make a deal, I'm sure Fred will at least go to one of the buildings that is connected to the Regium. I will support him with all my best and in return, you will portray him as my fiancée until you reach the age of 20.""That would make a year and a half!" "I know, but it's for the sake of my company and your brother's. And of course, for Fred.""...""Ms. Salazar, please.""Alright...""Thank you, all you have to do is to be my fiancée, that's all."
Fred took 10 steps back away from the door and pretended that he had just passed by. Alleya met his gaze as she opens the door; she then leaves in a rush.
"..." He remained silent, as he opened the door and entered. "Oh, Mr. Francis!"
"What? No, I'm here for this." Fred took out a letter and placed it on Oliver's desk. "Yes, well. A friend of yours has told me that you have quite a knowledge about guns, your Talent is also one-of-a-kind." Oliver chuckled awkwardly, he knew it wasn't easy to get Fred into this job instantly but he needed Fred in this team. "How can you be so sure that I will accept this, this is a risky job." Fred sighed as she crossed his arms on his chest, "I am well aware. However, you no longer have a choice. Now that you have gained knowledge about this Organization, you have no choice but to accept being an agent, our agent. Once you accept, you will be placed in a team where you might be familiar with your teammates." "How can you be so sure?" Oliver chuckled softly before resting the side his face on his palm and his elbow on the flat surface of his desk. "Because if you don't accept, this will be the last time you've seen her. Alleya is quite worried, she also hated the fact that you needed to be in this Organization of ours but we have no choice. Your Talent will go to waste if you don't accept. Your knowledge of this Organization is already forbidden, after all, we are not allowed to let anyone know about this, and if someone does, it doesn't matter if they tell anyone or not, they will have to die no matter who they are."
"..."
"Does she know about this?"
"She does and she has tried stopping me from meeting you because she knew what I would offer. She has feelings for you, you know, deep feelings. So deep that she sacrificed herself to be my fiancée to make sure you were successful with your dreams." Oliver chuckled. "I know you heard it all, your shadow was seen through the door. It'd be a shame for you to die when a lovely girl is waiting for you."
Silence landed upon the atmosphere, "Fine. I accept." Fred sighed. "Great! You will be placed in Team Poppy."He said before placing a rectangular box on his desk and then sliding it towards Fred. Fred took the box and opened it, revealing a pair of glasses with a poppy carved on the temples of the glasses, a poppy flower carved and painted in silver white. "Welcome to Team
Poppy."
As Fred left the room, he goes downstairs and sat in the sitting area of the Building. As the employees saw the box in his hand, one of the employees then served him a cake with two strawberries on it, with a note saying,
"私たちの組織へようこそ。あなたの幸運をお祈りしています."
Fred smiled and nodded and so did the employee. As he held the fork, he was about to eat a strawberry until a thought came to him. Knowing that Alleya was worried for him, warmed his heart, knowing that Alleya was against the idea of her being Oliver's fiancée made him smile and the thought of Alleya having feelings for him also made his heart beat faster than ever before. He smiles at the thought, he needed to wait and he was willing to, even if he had to for hundreds of years just to make her his, he would wait until his hair turns white and his smooth skin wrinkled, after all, his question was not yet said and her answer was not yet heard. She was like a warm coffee in the morning, keeping him awake, her warm brown eyes were like a pool of chocolate that he wished to stare until he grows old, her skin was as smooth as silk that drives him crazy whenever he gets the chance to brush his skin against hers. The strawberry reminded him of the sweet taste of her lips. He wanted to see her again, she was beautiful by inside and outside, too beautiful for him not to have.
