Mystic Messenger [Fan Fiction]

Episode 1: To keep you safe

💮Luciel a.k.a Seven a.k.a Saeyoung

"Saeyoung~!" I called out to him as I walked into the room with a turner on hand. My redheaded lover was hunched over the table, the sound of the keyboards tapping away. "Saeyoung!" I called out again as I walked towards him, my hands behind me, "Luciel. Saeyoung. Seven!" Then I leaned beside him and smiled, "Honey!"

His golden eyes were staring intently at the monitor of the computer and of course, I stared at him, too. I exerted all my effort to stare at him as passionately as I could. Just when I thought my eyes were going to water, his gaze shifted to me for a second--I beamed--but then went back to the monitor. I frowned. Then all of a sudden, he flinched and looked at me again.

"Whoa! Hana! How long have you been there?!"

I stood properly and pretended to stretch, "Welp, long enough for me to feel this tired." When he put on a worried face, I grinned, "Just kidding~!" Then I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, "Breakfast is ready!"

He stretched his arms up as he bended over, "Mmmmmm!" Then he heaved a deep breath and just when I was about to go out, he'd pulled me by my wrist and I fell on his lap. He'd wrapped his strong arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, "I missed you..."

Because I tied my brunette hair in a bun, I could feel him breathing. I gave out a shy laugh, "Geez. My honey~ you've only been on your computer for three hours."

"I know," he muttered. His hug tightened. "Not seeing you and not talking to you even for just 2.3 seconds feels as if I've never talked to you for years." My heart thumped harder in my chest. Then I felt him smile, "Did my cute kitten's heart thump harder?"

My face flushed red as I jokingly pushed his arms away and stood up. I turned around to face him and planted my hands on my waist, "Of course. No one else can make this heart of mine beat but God Seven!"

He laughed. "God Seven!" he repeated. He stood up and held my hand, "Alright. Let's eat!"

I smiled as we walked to the dining room. His hand, even when he'd mostly be infront of his computer, working, it was always warm. And gentle. Whenever he held my hand, I always felt as if I were the most fragile thing on earth.

After breakfast, he kept insisting that he'd play with me for a bit. But I told him that he had to finish his job this day or Vanderwood would be on our case again. I promised him we'd go out on a date after he finishes his job. He was beaming before he entered the room and his robot cat followed him inside. As soon as I finished washing the dishes, I opened the fridge to get Honey Buddha Chips and Dr.Pepper soda for him but we only had one of each left.

I went into the room and grabbed my purse. Then I approached him and tapped him on the shoulder, "Luciel~ Saeyoung~"

"Hm?" he replied without even looking at me.

On his computer, he was typing codes I didn't and never would understand. "I'm going out to buy more snacks for us, okay?"

"Hm."

Geez. When he's working, I couldn't really talk to him. I shrugged. I kissed the top of his head before I headed out. Well, I didn't have to change anymore. Plain white shirt and brown shorts would be fine. I'll just be down at the convenience store, anyway.

I was already a few steps away from the door when I heard it bang open. I flinched and turned around. Saeyoung was hurrying towards me, "I'm coming with you."

I blinked, "Your job..."

"I can finish that in four more hours. Deadline's in the evening so I am confident I can finish that before it even strikes nine." I was about to say something else when he grabbed me by the hand and started walking down the hallway, "Besides, I can't concentrate when you're not in my field of vision."

I couldn't help but smile at that as I looked at his wide back. He was wearing a white polo with its sleeves rolled halfway across his arms. His headphones hung around his neck. He wore jeans and just simply paired it with his black slippers.

While in the store, I asked him to get Honey Buddha Chips while I would grab Dr.Pepper soda. Each of has had our own baskets so we could buy faster and he could resume his work.

After putting three dozens of the said drink in the blue basket, a shadow hovered over me. I smiled as I looked up, assuming it was Saeyoung, "Geez, that was fas..." Only, it wasn't. It was someone I didn't know.

He was maybe around Saeyoung's age (and mine. Saeyoung's practically just a year older than me). He had dark hair and gleaming green eyes. Suddenly, the corner of his lips lifted, "Hana."

I blinked. "Who are you?"

This time, he smiled. When he leaned forward, I took a step back and felt the cold glass of the fridge behind me, where the drinks were. He whispered, "It's dangerous being with a hacker, you know that?"

My eyes grew wider and my breath got stuck in my throat. I wanted to say something but words wouldn't come out. I wanted to call Saeyoung but my voice wouldn't cooperate. This man knows about us! What's worse, he knows about Seven!

When I heard him chuckle, my eyes snapped back at him.

"My cute kitten~! I got a basketful of our favorite~!" Saeyoung beamed, appearing from behind the lane of canned goods. He must've seen my expression because his face turned serious as he walked towards me, "Is something wrong?"

I turned to where the man was standing but he already disappeared.

"Hey, Hana, are you okay?" Saeyoung asked. His words dripping with worry. He stood next to me and gently placed his hand on my cheek, "Honey?"

I turned to look at him and managed a smile, "I-I'm okay. I was just..." I looked at the basket he had one--correction--TWO baskets. "Uhmm...is it just me or did your basket multiply?"

He grinned, "Just you. That's just your imagination. No, actually, it's one of my illusions. See, I can do that."

I laughed and jokingly punched him on the shoulder, "I can do that, too! Come on, let's pay for this now."

As we walked to the counter, he looked at me again, "You're really fine. Right?"

I held his gaze and looked into his beautiful golden eyes that were filled with worry. Truth be told, after everything that happened before the RFA party, I never want to see the painful expression on his face again. I never want to see him driven into a corner. I never want to see him crumble.

Whoever that man is, I won't let him hurt Saeyoung. If I have to learn the ways of a hacker, I would.

I'll do anything to keep him safe.

"Yes. I am. You're by my side, of course I am okay," I replied and gave him my sweetest smile.

A/N : Sooo...how did it fare? Honestly speaking, I'm planning to leave it at just this. But... would it be better to make a continuation? What do you think?
