[English fanfic] Why RU BL-ing me once more?!

Chapter 21: Benvolio and Tybalt (H)

December 22th, 2019.

Iscariot Manor, the banquet room.

"What's the point of today's topic?" Wei Min asked.

"Wish I could have a bowl of subgum chow mein with some siu mei as the toppings." Chenguang said.

"Nicely done. I want some dimsum for breakfast." Shi Huang said.

"A bowl of noodles with won ton is great for me." Qiang Shi said.

Shortly after the four Chinese Iscariot executives left, Ratri the Thai dance actress entered alongside Reiko the Japanese aristocrat lady.

"Our Can still whines about food even when he has Medthanan by his side." Ratri complained.

"What's that logic? You aren't even Can's mama, but you act like one." Reiko laughed.

"I spied in Can's house alongside Belle, a 19-year-old schoolgirl in Thailand in 1995. She's a spiteful and vengeful young woman who dabbled in the black arts and now suffers a cruel fate. The chilling 'clicking' of a box-cutter can be heard when Belle is near. Belle is the sixty-second Iscariot member if we include Alexander Iscariot." Ratri said.

Reiko sighed: "That doesn't really matter anymore."

At the balcony of the gloomy manor, Gerald was reminiscing about the days he got his axe and threatened the white boy with curly dark hair he had taken captive. As Gerald had stated, the boy was "there on the ground, with his own tears made drunk."

"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love. And I'll no longer be a Capulet." Gerald hummed his tune.

"Why are you knocking so hard? Where do you come from? What do you want?" Gerald heard a series of knocking sounds inside the hall.

As Gerald returned to the hall, he saw an oni mask approaching him. Its wearer was the samurai Senjiro.

"So, that's the samurai with the demon mask." He breathed heavily through his gas mask.

The masked undead fireman and his samurai counterpart had a brief conversation in which they told the story of Tharn and Type.

Gerald: "If Tharn and Type's relationship started three years prior to the story of Ae and Pete, that's a real fact. Tharn and Type's relationship started three years prior to 2018, meaning that it was about 2014 or 2015, but 2015 can be exact."

Senjiro: "This year is 2019. But we have few days left to move to the next decade of 2020."

Gerald: "Time flies. Christmas's about to come."

Senjiro: "Do you even know the person known as Benvolio Montague? I think he's Italian."

Gerald: "Your guess is so right. That mysterious headless horseman had come. I feel not so easy."

Senjiro: "Ernst Kirchgessner? That's a funny name. Anyhow, we need to make sure that we can't let our hostage wandering around and escaping."

Gerald: "Uh, Benvolio the hostage? I don't think he's the hostage. He's in our possession, a more interesting toy for us than the Thai boys we used to chase over and over."

Senjiro: "I'm afraid sooner or later we'll all get bored."

Gerald: "The familiarity trap?"

Senjiro: "Yes! You're familiar with it, see what happened there? Allow me to explain. We all run the risk of being so familiar with something that we don't even realize when we have it wrong. This happens in all areas of our lives, especially in our choice of partners."
