Aithnayn x Rakel Mira: A Glitch/Dark Xavier Fanfiction

Chapter 3: Mira

Few months passed and I haven't seen the guy at the park. I thought I could see him reading a book on that place. Especially weekends. And so, I always made sure that I dropped by the park to check.. but no. I wanna see him again. I even come to the park on weekdays and I don't even know what's gotten into me but I have this nagging feeling that I wanna see him.

I wanna see him.

He smells expensive and clean. He smells like a--

"Mirakel!!!" My colleague shouted. "What the heck are we doing here?!"

"I never told you to come with me, Ysa." I sighed.

"But the man you're hunting never came back, right? It's been what, two months? Three?" She ran after me. "I'm so curious about the reason why you insist on coming to this park everyday after work."

We reached the bottom of the little hill where he slept.

I saw a familiar bike. My heart skipped a beat. A couple of beats actually.

Smelling him. Touching his hands. And hearing his voice. I never knew I would actually dream of meeting him again. I never thought I would actually admit I am smitten with a man that never showed his face. I don't even know what he looked like.

What if he looks like a dirty old man?

What the fuck, Mira, with how he stood. How did his hands feel against yours? You think that guy is an old man? Remember his voice!

I agreed with myself. I sound crazy.

"Rakel Mira! I will just wait down here. Let me breathe!"

"He's here!!" I ran up the hill and saw him reading a book.

No cap. No eyeglasses. No facemask. He looked up at me and my breath hitched. His eyes are blue. The darkest blue. Not black. But blue. A gem. His lips are thin, a shade lighter than red. His nose is delicate. His hair is blonde. Dirty blonde? He looks gentle but isn't.

Obsessing at a quick glance. Do you admit now that you have a tendency to be obsessive?

A part of me asked. I can't help but agree. Because I admit. I just saw his actual face now and I can't take my eyes off of him.

"M-Mister.." i tried getting his attention.

"Who are you?" He asked. That voice. I can hear my heartbeat.

"You are the guy who reads here, you are the guy who helped me." I managed to say. Then I smiled to ease the tension inside me.

"What do you need?"

Cold yet his eyes held something.

"Nothing actually. I was always here."

"Then?"

"I really don't know. Can I sit beside you?"

"Mister?"

"What?" He looked at me. His lips inches away from mine. I don't know what came over me. Maybe..

"You've been gone for a few months and you think I will let you go run free again?" I whispered. My feelings unveiling itself, the obsession that my mind safely guarded.

"Who are you?"

I smiled. "Hi! I'm Rakel Mira! What's your name?" I smiled. At last!

I get antsy when I don't get what I want.

"I'm Aithnayn." He spoke. I almost jumped.

"Aithnayn. Pretty name. I wanna know you, Aith." I extended my hand. A handshake. This is a very good day. His held my hand firmly.

I was surprised when he moved. Tucking myhair behind my ear.

"Liking me already, Aith?" I didn't move..

"I'm trying to decide about that." His voice is hoarse.

"Decide faster, or I will." I breathed.

His fingers caressed my cheeks. "I don't even know if you're worth every big decision in my life."

"Should I help you decide in a minute?" I asked and turned my head to look at him. Im ready to do whatever to take his fancy.

"I need all the help I can." He bravely answered..

Oh, Aith.

"By all means." I need to do this.

"Stay still if you can." I bit his earlobe, teasing.

He stiffened. "Scared?" I whispered. "Try and fail to restrain yourself."

He held onto my waist as he pulled me closer to him that I was straddling his lap.

"You will get us arrested, Rakel Mira."

"No. It's you, who will get us arrested, Aithnayn."

Then he kissed me.

My insides are in a riot. His kiss, calculating. I gave him a little push by licking his lips and pushing my tongue to taste him more.

From gentle kisses, he grabbed a fistful of my hair, making me look up to his beautiful eyes. This isn't a normal, harmless kiss. Its--

"R-Rakel Mira!" Ysa shouted. I turned to see her all sweaty and terrified.

"Ysabel.." i called her. I never dared move from my position. From Aith's lap. I like it here.

"Wh-Who is this g-guy?" She looked scared.

Aith peeked from behind me, showing his handsome face.

"The guy I was looking for." I smiled and hugged his neck. Looks like he wasn't planning on letting go of my waist anytime soon. I inwardly smiled.

"Who is she?" Aith whispered.

"A friend.. colleague?" I answered as I run my hands on his soft hair.

"Mira!" Ysa marched towards me and Aith.

"Don't shout. And dont be scared, Aith is nice." I laughed. I was happy so I laughed.

"B-But--!"

I gently removed his hands from my waist and faced Ysa. She looked really scared. I looked at Aith and i get it.

He looks like someone cold and unfeeling.

"He's nice." I smiled at Ysa. Giving her assurance that Aith is nice.

"I would never hurt this girl." Aith said, as he puts his arms on my neck. My heart skipped a beat.

He is the overprotective type, huh?

This is crazy. Well.. maybe I am crazy.

"Ysa relax yourself." I pushed Aith and straightened my skirt. I looked at Aith.

"Can I invite you to dinner?"

"Sure."

"Somewhere cozy?" I suggested and giggled.

"Mhm.." he kissed me.

"I thought you only saw him one time, Mira?" Ysa spoke.

"Yes." Aith answered.

"And you just met today for the second time, right?" She asked again.

"Yep." I answered.

"And now you're all lovey-dovey?!"

"What's wrong about that?" Aith asked.

Ysa looked at me and Aith like we are crazy.

Well.. Maybe we are.
