Glassy Sky - You're Born for Me -

Fragment No. 27

A/N : Hey guys.. I've been thinking about where this story will be going, and coincidentally expand it. Tehe.

Anyway, I think I'll add some new tags, because there will be some characters I want to insert from KPop and other stories. Do you guys want to know who will that be or do you prefer it to be a mystery? Anyway, as it's been known in previous chapter, there are Heechul from SJ and Kai from EXO na. ^^

This is from Bright's POV.

****

After the hazing at the beach, everything happened smoothly. P' Kong is now dating his head hazer, Ai' Arthit, and they are not ashamed to show how lovey-dovey they are. Note how sarcastic he sound, okay? Because of course it would happen in a dream. Ai' Arthit is just like always, a tsundere who tried so hard to be cool but actually a shy maiden inside. And P' Kong would always shamelessly flirt with him. it would always result in a red-faced Arthit who sputtered indignantly, getting mad at his lover, and then P' Kong would apologize sweetly. Repeat. Bright is tired with this kind of scheme, okay? Can't they be lovey-dovey somewhere else? somewhere where Bright won't feel jealous over them!

P' Wad had to remind him everyday to let the older Lord to have fun with his imprint. And it would sober Bright almost immediately. Right, Ekala is under a cold war right now, which could erupt into a full-blown war again anytime soon. But it's been too quiet lately, too quiet for his liking. It makes him raise his vigilant.

He can also see how tense his phi nowadays. Both of them doesn't believe the enemy would back down just because there's a treaty protecting P' Kong as long as he is on earth. It would be too easy. And too strange, if the enemy really would take their time until the protection expired in ten years.

That's why, on this fine day, just after a particularly long and tiring lecture, when Bright and his friends had their lunch and they can see P' Kongphob also having lunch a few tables over with P' Wad and their friends, he noticed something strange.

Eh? I've never see those aura before..

On the corner of his eyes, Bright could see an anomaly. With a smile, he cheerfully excused himself from his friend, walking lightly out of the cafeteria, whistling all the while. But once he step outside, far from where his friends sit, his whole expression changed. There's a glint of feral crept into his vision, and his smile turn a little bit mischievous, bordering to sinister. Immediately, he used his power to speed up his step, body moving in incredible speed until he stood behind the perpetrator who is busy watching P' Kongphob.

"You're new." He said casually right beside the stranger's ear, like he was just starting to chat by telling them about the weather. The body in front of him jolted a little bit of surprise, body taut. Slowly, Bright think, the man calmly turn his body to face him. The man in front of him is shorter than him he had to bow a little bit to have the same eye-level, and the face matched the youthful aura that the body tried to project. But the gaze belied all of it, showing how the soul already exhausted living in this world.

"Young Lord Bright." The man greeted, a slight smile pasted on the face, contrasting the grim expression the man sported overall.

"Ah. It's been so long since I heard someone call me by my tittle." Bright said airily, pretending that they will only chat innocently. Inward, Bright hope this will end civilly. He doesn't fancy himself in a confrontation, even though he is sure he can handle it.

"It is a must when someone as lowly as me to call you with your tittle, isn't it?" the man replied in kind, bowing a little with his left hand placed on his right chest. The body though, it still won't relax in Bright's presence.

"I don't really care for the formalities. We're not even in Itzel right now, so it must be futile." Bright still keep up the charade, smiling pleasantly and dismissing the bow. But the man in front of him just stare at him, knowing full well that Bright knows what he had done.

"Well. It seems you're just too serious to my taste." Bright sighed in the end. "If you're spying, little Jade," he changed his tone to be serious. He was sure with this amount of green aura, that the man in front of him belonged in the third rank of hierarchy for earth clan. "You should know that no one here knows my tittle." The man widened his eyes and immediately get into a stance at his little comment.

"Who sent you?" Bright interrogated. He is not naïve enough to think that the green aura the man had will match his nationality.

"It's not your business." The shorter man said harshly.

"Then, what's your intention? I'm warning you; I'm not as kind as I look." The Young Lord said, throwing his hands widely as if he has nothing to hide.

"..." the shorter man gritted his teeth, no words coming from his mouth.

"Not telling? I won't ask twice, you know." Bright warning him, his smile turn vicious.

"I am here to observe." The man said in the end. Bright stares at the man for a long time, scrutinizing. It seems that's really what the man in front of him intent to do, for now. He changed his countenance to relax again.

He smiled easily, with a little edge of warning. "..then by all mean, continue what you're doing. Without doing anything else I won't recommend you do."

Bright threw his body to the bed, lolling his head because all he wanted to do was bury his head on that soft pillow. Today was tiring as hell.

And now his phi is judging him from the sofa in front of the window.

Ugh.

"Phii~" he didn't care that he whined like a little kid. He doesn't want to talk right now, damn it!

His phi still stare at him silently.

..he won't open his mouth! Bright keep on burying his head on the pillow, body turning so his back was facing his phi.

"..maybe I should just eat that dessert you like so much." His phi warned.

Oh no! not his dessert!

"Phi! That's unfair!" Bright sits on the bed, sullenly glared at P' Wad who sighed at him.

"Then you should just tell me. You know you would never good enough hiding something from me." Was what his phi said.

..he is not wrong.

"Well," Bright slumped his body and leaned on the bed headboard. "There was a new spy." His simple statement piqued P' Wad interest who raised one of his eyebrows. He wants Bright to continue.

"A jade. Looks young, but I just knew he is older than he looks, older than me most likely. Doesn't seems coming from the earth clan to investigate P' Kong." That last bit makes his phi squinted his eyes in suspicion.

"..Do you think it's better to tell P' Kong?" Bright hesitatingly asked. He doesn't want to shatter that happy bubble that wrapped itself tightly around P' Kong nowadays.

His phi glance sideways to him, but then shook his head. "No. Let him have his fun." If P' Wad told him like this, it seems it still didn't warrant them to increase their protection. So Bright loose his guard a little bit and thought about changing the subject.

"Ah. I saw Arthit blushed so hard at lunch, it must be his doing." He grinned, remembering suddenly about what happened as soon as he was back to the cafeteria.

P' Wad chuckled. "Of course, my Lord asked him for a date."

Bright whistled. "No wonder." But he quickly sobered up. "Then, how about we consult about it to the embassy? tell Maprang."

Again, his phi shook his head. "I don't want to involve the embassy just yet. This is my country's business." P' Wad then squint his eyes, a cold determination clouding the eyes. "If that man wants to observe, let him observe as much as he wants. But if he tries to overstep even just for a little bit.."

Bright chuckled dryly. He knew that it would be the end if P' Wad is going serious. "I'll let you finish your business, Phi."
