Encre woke up to the sound of songbirds singing. He smiled at their song. He heard a knock at the door. He was startled.

"Ah! Uh...Entrez!" (Ah! Uh...Come in!) He stuttered. Encre quickly translated, "C-come in!" Fallacy walked into the room. "Hello~" Fallacy said in his beautiful, soothing voice.

Encre smiled. "Bonjour, Monsieur Fallacy." (Good morning, Fallacy.) Encre said as he stood up. Fallacy felt a flutter in his chest. He knew he was in love with this gorgeous mortal. He didn't think Encre would ever feel the same for him, the King of Vampires. So he decided he would hide it, as painful as it was.

"Encre...I was just wondering if you were hungry. I mean, you haven't eaten for about three days now and humans need to eat more than humans do." Fallacy said. Encre gave Fallacy a weak smile. "I am quite famished..." Encre tilted his head slightly. "Is there something on your mind, Monsieur?"

Fallacy shook his head. "Um...It's nothing. Come on. Let's get you something to eat." Fallacy led Encre to the dining room/kitchen. Fallacy looked at Encre. "What would you like? Smuffy (Is that what Muffet's name is?? I'm still new to this...) can make you anything you'd like." Encre thought for a second. "A scone...?" Smuffy (Please tell me if that's correct...I beg you. I really don't know.)  nodded and began preparing the food. Fallacy led Encre to the dining table.

They sat down and began talking quietly about flowers​. When the food was done, Encre thanked the cook and ate the scone. When he finished, Fallacy led Encre to his room. Fallacy was about to leave when Encre grabbed his wrist. "Attendez, Monsieur Fallacy." (Wait, Fallacy.) Encre said. "I want to know what's on your mind. Whatever it is, I'd like to know. S'il vous plaît?" (Please?)

Encre felt stupid for wanting to know. But he cared a lot for Fallacy. He loved Fallacy. He didn't know why he felt this way so soon. He hoped Fallacy liked him back.

Fallacy shook his head. "Encre...Not now. Maybe later..." Fallacy said as he tugged free from Encre's grip and walked away. Encre let him go, knowing nothing could be done. Encre sat on his bed, thinking about Fallacy.

Encre got up and walked to the room next door, the garden room. He closed the door behind him and sat under the willow tree, thinking, remembering.

                  (~Memory taking place during the tour, the part that wasn't typed up~)

Fallacy looked over at Encre as they left his room, turning left. "So...What did you do before you came here?" Fallacy felt a pang of guilt. He shouldn't have taken Encre. Encre hadn't done anything to him.

"J'étais un artiste..." (I was an artist...) Encre said. Fallacy smiled weakly. "Please translate...?" He said in his voice of velvet. Encre smiled despite himself. "I was an artist."

Fallacy's eyes widened. "You're that Encre? The famous artist?" Encre was taken aback. He nodded weakly. Fallacy smiled at Encre. "Do you mind telling me more about yourself?" Encre nodded. "Well...I'm the only one left in my family." Fallacy was sympathetic towards Encre. "I mainly paint landscapes." Encre said. Fallacy chuckled. "I don't really have any friends." Fallacy looked at Encre. "Yes you do. You have me."

Encre felt his heart swell. Fallacy offered to be his friend.

C'est alors que l'amour a commencé.

                                                                 (~ End of memory~)

Encre smiled at the memory. He knew now that he couldn't live without Fallacy. He just couldn't bear the thought of losing Fallacy. He felt so sick to think that if he confessed, Fallacy wouldn't feel the same.

It was painful.

Encre closed his eyes. He laid his head against the trunk of the willow tree. He soon fell asleep to the thought of Fallacy's eyes. And his voice of soothing velvet...
