Twisted Fates | DanCae - Caelus x Dan Heng |

Chapter 4

•Caelus thought for a moment about it, having paused to try and think about what exactly he could remember. "Honestly, I don't remember much of anything up until the point where you and March found me laying there in the space station." He looked over at him, looking a little annoyed since he couldn't remember much, as hard as he tried to. "All I remember is a name. Everything else is blank to me."

•A name? That certainly caught Dan Heng off guard as he once again leaned forward to look at him. He rested his hand on the table, looking both curious as ever and extremely confused at the same time. "Wait wait..you said you remember a name? What name?" He found this to be an interesting detail, as it would help a lot to find out more about who exactly the Trailblazer..no. Who exactly Caelus was. That sent him into a more serious thinking face, which Dan Heng couldn't help but smile at. "I believe the name was..Kafka?"

•"Kafka?..Wait that's-" As Dan Heng went to speak, he was interrupted by Welt, who had walked into the room and overheard that last bit of the conversation. "One of the Stellaron Hunters." He took a seat across from both Caelus and Dan Heng, looking at both of them now. "Stellaron Hunters?" This is the first time Caelus was hearing about this and he genuinely looked confused. Welt nodded, looking out towards the window before looking back towards the two. "The Stellaron Hunter's main goal is to follow Elio's future and to collect the Stellaron's that scattered across some of the worlds."

•"So they just end up causing a bunch of trouble?" That's all Caelus really understood from that. It wasn't exactly making sense to him but the way Welt and Dan Heng were looking at him, he felt a little dumb for even asking the question. That didn't stop them from answering though. "Essentially, yes. They're wanted by the Interastral Peace Corporation, or the IPC. They've caused a lot of trouble for them and so far, nobody has been able to catch them." The black haired male seemed to think about something after he said that because he turned to look right back at him. "But you said you remember the name 'Kafka'. She's one of the Stellaron Hunters." He pointed this out, becoming slightly suspicious of the situation.

•"Now now, Dan Heng, calm down. I only came in towards the end of your conversation with Caelus, but from just the look on his face, I think he's just as confused about this as we are. Kafka could have just left him here after fleeing from the space station." Welt put a hand on the younger's shoulder, shaking his head. "However, that doesn't explain why he doesn't remember anything or why he has that Stellaron in his body. Humans aren't supposed to be able to hold one inside of their bodies like he can."

•Dan Heng crossed his arms, looking the Trailblazer up and down like he did something wrong before his expression slightly softened. "While it doesn't make sense, it's definitely saved him a few times. And that's a good thing." He put his arm around the shorter and gave a slight smile. He didn't mean for Caelus to think that he didn't trust him or something like that..it was just a very strange situation to be in. Especially with him not understanding most of what they were talking about. But this meant there was an extremely low chance of betrayal from him. If he didn't remember it, why would he go to their side? He wouldn't. Plus, he's gained a special spot on the Express.

•Welt stood up with a small chuckle, putting his hands on his cane. "I'll leave you boys to chat. Sorry for the interruption." He gave a half smile over at Dan Heng before he left the two in the room by themselves. At this point, they'd already had finished their breakfast so that wasn't a big deal. What was a big deal is the amount of information that Dan Heng had learned about him today. It gave him a sort of mysterious vibe, but it didn't seem to matter between them. They both stared at each other, looking almost intently into the others eyes. It was a bit awkward at first, and the Trailblazer almost backed up and looked away, but it was like a silent communication between them. And he didn't move.

•He was interested and so was Dan Heng. "You're..a lot different then when we first found you." He was the first to speak, which slightly surprised the other, and caused him to look away almost shyly. "Different?..How so?" He wanted to know what exactly had changed about him, since he didn't really think he had changed much at all since then. "Different as in..more mature, I suppose. Your serious when you need to be and that's admirable to say the least. And your fighting style..you've definitely gotten better." He complimented, making the other blush slightly, feeling embarrassed about being complimented like that.

•He definitely really like the compliment, however, and smiled. "Well in that case, you've changed too." The taller now looked confused, just as he had been before. "Me? How?"

"You're sweeter than before..and I love that about you."
