Your Fairy Tale

THREE

Third Person POV

After a few more minutes of silent walking, the two males were greeted with a giant, well built gate, known as the Testing Gate, that loomed over everybody roaming the ground. 

(Name)'s eyes swept over the visible carvings on the stone gate that had been thoroughly engraved into his brain. 

The gate was made up of 7 doors, each being weighed more than the other starting from the smallest door, which was the lightest at 4 tons, to the heaviest and biggest door, 256 tons. 

Such an invention was simply an excuse to avoid contact with anybody, unless deemed worthy by said gate.

Of course, not everybody was aware of the fact, however (Name) was a different story. 

"Name and state your business.¨ A middle aged balding man, who seemed to be the guard of the place, firmly asked with a strict yet gentle voice. 

Zebro, the palace's royal guard dog, as some called him. 

Some underestimated the man, as he looked like a regular old man, however the Zoldyck's weren't at all that simple. 

Zebro was actually quite muscular, and powerful as well seeing as he was capable of opening the 1st door of the gate. 

(Name) felt his eyes soften seeing the gray haired man, someone he had spent some relaxing times with in his previous lives.

The guard was a kind hearted person that often had tea with him whenever the two had some spare time. He was one of the people that (Name) felt he could lighten up around, without any worries.

"Hisoka Morrow, and a new toy I've brought. We're here to see my dear friend.¨ 

Zebro gave an understanding nod as he recognized the infamous Joker, moving to the side and allowing them access to a side door that looked unused for quite some time. 

¨It'll be a bit dark, so do be careful.¨ The cautious guard warned with a small, warm smile on his face. 

(Name) felt a small smile make its way onto his lips in response, all the fun memories he had previously shared with Zebro flooding into mind. 

¨Do you plan on walking anytime soon?¨ The deep and amused voice of a certain Joker snapped the other out of his short nostalgia which allowed him to realize that Hisoka had already started walking ahead of him 

"Ah, i'm sorry. It seems I was distracted.¨ That made the man raise a brow as his keen eyes glanced towards (Name) 

¨Do you somehow know that man?¨ Hisoka questioned with his sly orbs pointing to the direction of the guard, Zebro. 

He was quick to catch onto the others glimpse of emotion toward the old man, though for some reason, he felt irritation rising inside him because of that. 

He had no reason to be angry, (Name) was just a complete stranger, so why did he feel so irked..? 

It was like a wash of yearning was suddenly flooding into him, a sense of covetous needs filled his entire being, but for what reason?

Fuck, the infamous Joker, known for being a vicious and sneaky man to whoever wasn't his ally, felt that his emotions were in a jumble ever since he bumped into his new toy. 

¨No, he just seemed similar to someone I know.¨ (Name) expertly created an excuse with his small smile dropping from his lips as soon as he heard Hisoka's voice, reminding him of his presence.

Flashback

¨Why not put a smile on for me, (Name)?¨

 Golden eyes bore into the (e/c) eyes of a man captured in a large and spacious cage.
