5: Fake Mates

Like normal Humans, super naturals chose their own life partners but the life partners are namely mates because unlike humans their bond is pure and undestructable. However if the partner or mate is chosen incorrectly and by impulse, the bond can be broken hence givng birth to a concept known as 'fake mates'.

 Moon and Luna don't have anyone to share that bond with but each other. Still there is a barrier between their love because it's not at the same page. One has dived too deep and the other hasn't even touched the surface yet because of fear of sharks that might use thier jaws to skin them alive. Those sharks are so called 'love hurdles'.

It was a free period because the teacher was absent and the substitute teacher was asleep. Some kid broke the coffee machine that was in the teachers' longue and every teacher had to miss out on coffee. Everyone of them was grumpy towards the students but some humble souls like her decided to keep quite and sleep instead. Nobody cared anyways. 

Moon was bored out of his mind and he was scribbling all over his notebook. He had so much on his plate right now that he ignored everyone who tried to approach him. He was rethinking about what happened this morning and regreted not eating the expired yogurt that was now in the dustbin back at home. He could've gotten a sick leave, stayed home and watched over Luna and ocassionally annoy Lelia, play video games after school with Mira at the arcade, possibly spend time in the washroom dumping and missing the damn extra maths class. 

"Hey dude, what's up?", a guy besides him ask but he gets no reply. He grabbed the pencil and the notebook and shoved it away from Moon but somehow his fingers caught on to the muscle memory and did not stop moving around. "You're still a baby.", the boy next to him chuckled and shook him awake from his thoughts.

"What?", Moon blankly says to the boy next to him. His name is Drake and he was the school's famous 'fuq boi' and Moon's male friend as well.

"I just wanted to have a good chit chat with my bro.",he shrugged and Moon cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Did you not get a Kiki to have a hook up with?...Drake.", he says nonchalantly.

"Oh come on, you know I can get anyone if I ask them.", he retorts and Moon scoffs, "Anyways, what's with the bitch face?"

"Nothing.", Moon replied indicating that he isn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now. 

Drake has known Moon for few years and they became very good friends but they are total oposites. Unlike Moon, Drake thinks that 17 is an immature age for love and assuming about 'mates'. He thinks that he's young so why not take this opprtunity and have fun. He knows about Moon and Luna's relationship and calls it a mangle.He really did not understand two things here.

One:Why is Luna making the younger wait. Drake asked this question to Moon a multiple times but he always got the same answer, "I'm still not 18 and she is trying to be gentle to me.". He knew that Moon also wasn't convinced by his own answer either.

 Luna is a Royal Blood and from what he knows is that Royals are impatient when marking their territory so why hasn't she marked him already. Even if Moon asks him and  Mira about questions like: Does fang popping process hurt? or do our bones break if we turn in our supernatural self? or does marking hurt? , Drake knows that Moon will be willing for Luna to bite into his flesh because he wants to be marked by her only. Despite that why is Luna hesitating?

He was even suspicious of Luna because all Royals have fangs and Drake was already 18 along with Mira and they showed their long sharp canines with pride but Luna was an another story. She kept her mouth closed in public and spoke less. But he never let that point become the main reason why Luna can't be a Royal because her resting heart smile hid her canines well. Even so that wouldn't be a reason.
