Alluring words may fill my head,

Without me knowing of love or dread.

One gender manipulates my right of way,

Before I can witness my own dismay.

My trust remains savage, yet loyal and free,

As long as Minerva's gaze lets me be.

To adore one is something I long to achieve,

If only I functioned to allow to receive,

Shutting doors surround my path,

as Venus hurls her scarring wrath.

Acceptance is one that some shall take,

To leaven the fear and despair to create.

Calamity rises as well can a love,

Not minding what souls shall say from above.

Trying to purge a meaningless fire,

Having no shame to follow a liar.

But these lives mean none to meet my eye,

My love is there, and my love is mine.

Whatever they think, or remark,

No tie or bond shall break apart.

To be with one, and for one to be with me,

Peace in life can now be a reality,

For all hateful gazes of the eyes to see,

As one takes my hand to open my doors with our key.

"I'm really happy to see you Jaide." I finally said.

He looked at me, smiling as I heard the beat of his heart become more rapid; I can sense how sensitive he really is.

He ran and hugged me, catching me a bit off guard.
I grinned as I ran my hand through his gold-ish brown hair. The scent of candy from him was present even in the physical world.

It's too bad we only first really met in these kind of circumstances, but he makes it all worth it.

He let go of me and took a more serious tone.

"What.... are you?"

I took a breath.

Before I spoke, I heard the last person I wanted to hear from at the moment.

"Isn't it obvious?" Illicero said behind Jaide.

He jumped in fright before coming to his senses.

"W-what are you doing here Illicero?!" He shouted in astonishment.

"Thats a good question... For Letonin." he answered, turning his head to me.

That smug bastard...

Jaide turned to me, and gave me a deadly look that mentally made me cower.

"You two know each other? How is that possible if Letonin was from a dream?"

"A dream?" Illicero questioned. "Is that where you've been all this time?" He continued, amused.

"All thanks to Sendex that is..." I answered.

"Stop it both of you! I'm so confused it's not even funny!" Jaide snapped.
