Harley wake up suddenly after another weird dream. It's not about the Leonin anymore, but it's about both of them, but before he could see anything else anout them, a bright light that cover his sight, and then, he woke up.

"Such a strange dream..." - He thought.

Then the mage look around and see the sun has already rised. Is it morning already? That's mean he missed the rest of the meteor shower!!

"Damn it!! I should drink Lesley's coffee more" - he thought.

Then he feel something lays on his shoulder, and something is hugging him around. Harley turn back and see Harith's head is on his shoulder, he's still sleeping and his arms still around the mage's body. Harley look at his face a bit, his face when he sleep is so peacfully, and somehow...handsome? Soon after that he realize he's thinking weird again.

"Oh damn it not again!!!! What's wrong with my head these days!!!" - he start panic again.

But he still looking at the Leonin's face again, he can see the Leonin's very handsome, this time his face turn red now. Harley can see the gayness is crawling behind his back, then he start screaming and slap Harith's face really hard that make him wake up.

"Ow! What are you doing?" - The Leonin finally wake up while holding his cheek where he got slapped. "Is this really how you and your family wake each others up..?" - he asks Harley with confusion.

Harley just look away while his face still red, he just doesn't understand what he was thinking earlier. That Leonin is handsome?? How ridicilous!! He's the one handsome here not Harith!

"Sorry i just surprise when I see you ok???" - The mage said with some anger in his voice.

Harith just nods and help him stand up, he also get his hat and wear it for him.

"There we go..." - He said while pat the mage's shoulder.

Harley just stay quiet, he once again feel the soft, nice side from the Leonin, and his face a bit red.

"Such a wonderful night yesterday right Harith?" - he ask him with some emberesstment in his voice.

"Well... yeh..." - The Leonin responds gently, then he as Harley if he's gonna be friends with him.

"Of course silly cat!" - The mage said. " There's no way im joking about it so just stop asking thing like that ok?"

Harith just nods, but he still need Harley to do something for him, he doesn't want to him getting insulted for being friends with the Leonin.

"Well... if you say so... then..." - Harith stop a bit. "Can you keep our friendship as a secret and don't tell anyone about this...?"

The mage was shock when he hear that request from Harith.

"W-why did you ask that..?" - he ask him with some nervous in his voice.

Harith just stay quiet again, and look away. After a while he finally speak.

" It's just... I don't want you get insulted for being friends with me... you know how people said about me... so please... keep our friendship as a secret... I don't want your reputation get destroyed just because of me..." - He said with some sadness and a bit nervous in his voice.

Well look, the "scary and cold" Leonin is caring about someone, especially someone he just met for only few days. The mage feel like he should really spend more time for the Leonin.

"Alright Harith, i'll keep this as a secret for us" - he gently said and pat Harith's head.

The Leonin nods again and ask if Harley is gonna go back home with his sister Lesley.

"Well yeh, I should go now, she's probably worry for me cause, last night I kinda sneak out?" - The mage said.

Harith just stay quiet, he just look at him with his empty eyes again. Then he just pat his shoulder gently and about to walk away. Then suddenly he hear Harley's voice.

"You want to come eating breakfast with me? If you want to of course"

Then Harith turn around and look at him again, somehow Harley feel like he just said something stupid. He doesn't know why he want to said it as well, but he couldn't take it back or do anything with it now, he just look away.

"No thanks... your sister will be mad if she know that your being friends with me... i'll take you back home ok...?" - the Leonin said with a cold voice, but this time Harley can feel some, pain in it. But he just nods, then Harith take the mage's hands and take him back to his home.

On their way home, none of them say anything to each others, they just remain silence only. Then Harley call him gently and asks.

"Do you, have any battle today?"

"Yeh... one only..." - The Leonin responds gently. "What about you...? Any battle today...?" - he ask the mage.

"Also one only" - the mage responds.

Harith just said "alright" and they keep going again. Their hands still holding each other like they'll never let go, and they still say nothing. They just keep walking to the mage's house.

"You seem happy with your sister right...?" - The Leonin asks him gently. "I guess you and her always eating together right...?"

The mage just stay quiet, then they suddenly stop and Harith look at him a bit, he can see Harley is looking down a bit. Is he feel bad for the Leonin or is he too shy to talk about it? He doesn't sure as well. They just stay quiet for a while, then the Leonin gently said.

"Let's just go back to your house now..."

Harley nods and then both of them start going again, and they just stay quiet again, but their hands still holding each others, and somehow the mage feel like, he's blushing? Harley just shake his head and follow him.

"Do you know where my house is?" - The mage gently asks him. "I forgot to ask you that earlier, if you don't know where my house is I can tell you the direction."

The Leonin just chuckles the he turn around and pat Harley's shoulder gently. The cold voice of his appear again.

"I'm not really that stupid... Genius... I know where your house is so it's ok..." - Then he turn around and take him away again. "Let's just go now alright...?"

"Alright." - Harley give him a warm smile and then both of them keep going, with the smile on their face.

When they arrive to Harley's house, they stop at the door of the house. Harley was really surprise that Harith know where his house is. Did he accidently go pass by here once? Or many times? He's not sure about that. Then the mage turn to the Leonin and look at him a bit.

"Hey Harith?" - he gently calls him.

"Hm...? What's wrong...?" - The Leonin turn to him. "Did I take you to the wrong house...?"

"Not that you stupid cat!!" - Harley hit his head gently. "I just want to ask if you want to come in and eat breakfast with us, if you want to".

Harith just look at him wth surprise on his face. Why did he want that? Is his head ok? Is the mage feel bad cause he doesn't have any friends? They just eyes contact again until they hear the door is open make Harley turn into the door and see Lesley is in front of him with worriness on her face. She look like she was finding him earlier. She was surprise when see Harley in front of her.

"Harley!!" - the sniper hug him tight. "Where did you go last night??? You made me worry so much you know!!"

Harley hug her back, then he realize Harith somehow, gone, when he didn't noticed and when lesley open the door. He just like vanished away, like a ghost.

"S-sorry sister" - he chuckles a bit. "Last night I couldn't sleep so I went outside with a friend, that's all."

"Alright then" - Lesley let him go."But next time at least tell me first ok? I was really worry something happen to to you earlier" - she smiles gently at him.

"Don't worry sister, i'm the Genius Mage remember?" - he told her with proud. "I can taking care of myself!"

"Alright brother, now let's go inside and eat breakfast ok? Also your friends are here" - she said and take him inside the house.

The mage look behind him, and he see the Leonin is standing from a far distance away from his house, look at them, and then he walk away slowly, and dissapear from far away, leaving Harley keep follow looking at him, then he turn back and follow Lesley to the kitchen.

The first thing he see in the kitchen is all of his friends are sitting around the table. When they see him, Chang'e run to him.

"Hi Harley! Where did you go last night?" - she asks.

"Yeh when we come we saw Lesley is finding you" - Lylia said. "And we helped her a bit, she was really panicked you know."

"Only Diggie didn't do anything." - Cyclops point at Diggie and said.

"Hey! I was stuck in the closet ok?" - Diggie yell at them.

They all laughed when Diggie said that while he just look away and Cylops patting his head.

"Anyway where did you go last night Harley?" - Cyclops asks the mage again. " It's unusual when you go out at night."

Harley just smile and scratch his head gently.

"I just went outside with someone, nothing much happened don't worry."

Then he see their face seem, weird. Look like they're ready to tease him when he said "with someone".

" Don't tell me you guys want to know who is "someone" I talked about" - he said with the annoyence in his face to them.

"Well yes" - Nana responds. "Sooooo, who is "someone" you mention earlier~?" - Nana ask the mage while all of them are looking at him waiting for his answer.

"Seriously...?" - the mage getting annoyed by his own friends now. They never stop being like this whenever he said something new to him, especially when he mention "someone" or acting weird like last time. Their face keep being weird and wating for his answer. Then he hear his sister's voice.

"Who did you go out last night brother? Can you tell us? I'm kinda curious as well" - she said while look at the mage. Harley turn to her with a shock face.

"Sister not you too!! Oh you gotta be kidding me!!" - The mage shout with annoyence.

"Come on Harley!" - everyone start begging him. "Please tell us pleaseee! We will be quiet about it don't worry!".

The mage start getting soft when see they keep begging for it. When he open his mouth to say the truth, he slowly close his mouth. He suddenly remember the promise with Harith, they promise each others they won't say anything about their friendship or what they do to anyone, even their love one. He just stay quiet while Chang'e, the others and his sister still waiting for his answer.

"What's wrong Harley?" - Lesley asks him gently. "Is something wrong?"

Everyone are looking at the mage with worried on their face. Harley still keep being quiet. He keep thinking about what Harith said, the Leonin care for him and his reputation, not for himself, he even care for his health when he sleepy last night. But everyone, even his friends, and his own sister, they're just...

"Sorry guys... I made a promise with that person that we won't said anything about it... to anyone... that persom doesn't want anything happen to me... so... I won't break the promise..." - the mage slowly said while look at the floor.

Everyone look at each others with some worriness on their face. Who would make the mage have to keep it as a secret from them? Is that person really care for him or just use him? Those question keep running through their minds.

"It's ok if you don't want to say it Harley..." - the sniper slowly pat his head gently while give him a warm smile. "Seem like the person really important to you right...? That's why you two made a promise not to tell it to anyone..."

The mage just chuckles. He doesn't want Harith to get any misunderstanding or insult anymore, after all he has seen enough from the Leonin himself.

"Should we eat now sister?"- Harley asks while smile a bit. "I'm kinda hungry now."

"Oh sure brother!" - Lesley responds. "But if you came back sooner you wouldnt get hungry you know." - she giggles a bit.

"Hey I was just overslept a bit ok??" - he said while sitting on the chair near the table with the others.

"Yeah overslept on that "person's" arms cause that "person's" arms are so warm you couldn't get off them~" - Nana said with a flirty voice and a dreamy face.

Everyone start laughing cause her action while Harley just blushing with a lot of anger on his face, seem like he wanna throw the card at her so bad, but she was right about sleeping on the "person's" arms. Then he remembered how his face and the Leonin's face was that close, so close that they could kiss anytime, and now the mage's face turn into a tomato.

And of course, everyone can see his tomato face, even Lesley. They're all surprise when they see the tomato face of his.

"So is that person pretty?" - Chang'e ask him with curious.

"I beg that person is very good looking, if not then Harley won't blush at all" - Lylia responds. The mage just keep eating while his friends keep asking about the person he told earlier.

"Stop it you all! Let me eat in peace!" - Harley shout at them while still blushing.

"So is that person pretty my dear little brother?" - Lesley asks from behind make the mage surprise.

"Not again sister!!" - Harley screaming while everyone is laughing again. Such a happy people they are now, nothing will go wrong, right...?

"We have a battle today right?" - Cylops asks.

"Yeh, you, Harley, Lylia, me and Diggie. " - Chang'e said.

"Hope we can win." - Harley said while his thought is thinking about the Leonin again.

With the Leonin, he is having a simple breakfast he made himself with a cup of cappucino of course. He's just enjoy the meal, then Harith notice a part of his shirt turn red a bit, a bloody red.

"I need to change my shirt again..." - He said to himself, but he still finishing the meal.

After finish the meal, the Leonin goes to the bedroom and change his shirt a bit. When he take off his shirt, all his chest was covered in bandages, and one of the part of his chest turned to red.

"I need to change the bandages again..." - He thought.

The Leonin turn away and take off the old bandages cover his chest and put new bandages to cover his chest again. Then Harith look at the shirt has bloody red on it, he just sigh. He'll have to wash the red away.

Then the Leonin start thinking, about what the Abyss has taken away from him. Will he be able to got it back? Will he stay alive until that? And most importantly, he won't let "him" die when that happen... right? Well... no one ever care if he tell it... except... someone...
