Lilac's POV

"As in related to Kaidou Haru??" I asked in bewilderment.

Ren looked at me and gave a strange glance. "Yes," He said.

My heart dropped and anger overtook me out of nowhere. I yanked the boy's shirt and grabbed the nearest knife next to me pinpointing it at him.
"Swear to me!"

"I don't understand?" He looked half stricken and terrified.

"Swear to me, your related to Haru!" I yelled at him, my hands shaking in fear.

"I-I'm not related to him..." He said stuttering his pupils widening in some sort of realisation.

Now I was very confused. "But you said ...?"

"I'm his adopted younger brother" he whispered. "Please don't kill me, but he's here with me. I lost him when I ran away from him."

I dropped the knife on the floor and a loud crash was heard from below. I slumped back in my seat and muttered an apology whilst avoiding his gaze.

"How do you know Haru?" Ren asked mumbling nervously whilst twisting his fingers. He'd better stop twisting his fingers, it's really annoying me.

"It's a long story," I said folding my arms and childishly swinging my legs. I could feel the tension between us and I suddenly felt bad for him. Why am I heartless to kids?

I looked away from Ren in embarrassment and summoned all courage I had to muster up an apology "Umm, I'm sorry for, you know, the knife... something just came over me and well it shouldn't have had happened."

He looked up at me curiously and gazed at my wings. "It's okay, today has been a very strange day for me."

He wasn't one bit terrified of me. "So you said Haru is you adopted brother, right?" He nodded his head. "Why did you run away from him?"

His cheeks had suddenly reddened and he looked down again avoiding my gaze. Did I say something wrong?

He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. "Go on tell me... what happened?" I said slightly impatient.

He slowly closed his eyes, "I told him..." He stopped and paused. "Yes," wanting him to carry on.

"That I loved him." His voice close to silent.

"WHAT?" I stood up shocked to the core.

He took my reaction as a reason to ramble on "He said he couldn't return my feelings because he only saw me as a brother... and so I told him I hated him and ran away." He immediately covered his face quickly in his hands and placed his head on the table.

Great...What have I got myself wrapped in?

Lucas POV

Hello all readers! I may be known as Lucas the grey beard pixie, however, actually, I am the narrator of this wonderful love story.

It is very strange indeed, though I have a very important and crucial role. This is more than a love story... it is a "tale between two lovers" who have always been destined to be together. Haru and Ren.

I know it may be a bit frustrating, although there will be more... interesting scenes coming up soon so be ready for the next chapters.

Lilac is my simple-minded accomplice who has no idea of my double job. Believe or not, without me there would be no story.

You can also say I am the author herself, haha yeah that's a classic. The author is a teenage writer who has a very busy schedule so bear with her if she can't get everything completed.

Author: LUCAS WHAT ARE YOU DOING????!!! No one wants to read this?? GET BACK TO THE STORY!

See it's a tough life for me as the narrator. 🧐

Haru POV

I have been searching two hours for Ren and it's already getting dark. I can't seem to find him at all, I tried his phone, but it kept going straight to voicemail. Now I'm seriously getting worried.

"Hello Haru," I turned around and was face to face with my childhood past.

I felt shivers run down my spine "It's you," I said my feet rooted to the ground.

The figure took a step closer to me, "You came back after so many long years... why now?"

I avoided his question and remembered my first priority was to find Ren, "Papa do you know where Ren is?" The word Papa was stuck at the end of my tongue and just came out before I could take it back.

He then started laughing. "Sorry it's just that it has been so long since I have been called that." His eyes twinkled in happiness and he suddenly reached out opening his arms wide and held me in an embrace. His sweet fragrance of roses and lavender struck me inside as the familiarity was overwhelming.

It's been too long...

"Welcome back," he said patting my shoulder. I nodded in agreement and responded back "I'm glad"

He raised his right eyebrow. A familiar trait I could never forget. "You don't look too glad?" He said. I heaved out a soft sigh. "I just need to find Ren that's all..." I said ending with a depressed and upset drop.

"Yes I saw him," Lucas said a hint of smugness in his voice.

I looked at him suddenly hopeful all traces of sadness disappearing. "Well what are we waiting for! Take me to him." I said having the sudden urge of jumping up and down.

"He's with Lilac,"

"Oh..." I said feeling uncomfortable. I was lost in thought for a while. It's been years since I had last seen Lilac and she was the only true friend I ever had. I was always able to get along with her considering we were the same age, she was the only girl I was able to interact to... It was until I got to the age of 15 she finally confessed her feelings to me.

"Can you take me to him?" I said pushing away triggered memories.

"Yes, but I'm warning you... Lilac is not going to be happy." He said whilst scanning my clothes.

"Umm Papa, why are you looking at me so strangely?" I said folding my arms across my chest self-consciously.

"You need a change of attire!" He said gruffly. "I'm no fairy godmother but give me a second to wave some magic and make you look more presentable."

I blushed a deep red. "I'm good... thanks"

"Oh no, but I insist," he smirked at me. I wavered my arms in defiance and took a step back.
"Seriously I don't need a new attire," I said looking for a way out.

He flew above me and in a blink of an eye I was transformed completely into a more casual outfit. I wore a collared unbuttoned shirt so my abs were clearly seen and ripped skinny jeans that were so light and comfortable I didn't feel sweaty or hot at all. "Wow...damn Papa you always knew your latest fashion trends" I laughed in amusement.

"Hush you," he smiled.

"Ok take me now," I said confidently. He whispered a few words and a flash of light beamed around us blinding my eyes by the strong rays of light. I closed my eyes and reopened them as we were suddenly transformed inside the Manor.

We do crazy things for the people we love...

Ren's POV

I didn't realise how much I was missing Haru. Lilac is just strange and weird... it was bad enough she scared me by threatening me with a knife but now that she has left me on my own, makes me just want to go home and never comeback here.

She said something along the lines of "I need to check something I will be right back". It's been somewhat ten minutes and I'm scared she has left me on my own purposely. This is why I miss Haru... I wished I never ran away

I place my head on the pillow Lilac magicked for me and nuzzled into it, dreaming for it to be Haru.

Now thinking about it, Lilac was acting a bit strange after I told her about Haru. She started pacing the floor and was biting her nails. I don't know why she was so nervous but she also said she felt sick and left to get some fresh air. I do hope she's okay.

I miss Haru... I really do. In some Alternate Universe if I was a girl... his age and not his adopted brother maybe it wouldn't have turned out like this. Maybe we would have had a chance.

Just Maybe...

Lilac's POV

After so many years I get to see Haru again. I don't even know how to react with everything that's happened so far. I love him to pieces and I really miss him. This place is like a prison for me, I can never get out of here or leave I'm forever trapped unless I return back home to where I'm from through a portal.

I wonder what he looks like now? Is he still gorgeous, good looking and cute like he was when he was younger. I giggled at my silliness.

He's a man now... so he probably has muscles, tall and dreamy looking. I don't care what he looks like, I have always loved him and will continue to.

That kid really surprised me when he told me that he loved Haru as well. I don't know why but it bothered me. I wonder what kind of job Haru has?

I laid on the sofa. Does he still remember the day when I confessed to him?
Nope probably not. Well hopefully he doesn't, or else that would be very awkward.

I'm not even angry that it has been long, I'm just excited I get to see him again. Wow I'm fangirling over him, some things never change.

When I was younger I remember he would everyday come back from school and play with me. I would run to the small gate and welcome him by giving him lots of hugs and wrapping my arms around his neck, always so happy and grateful to see him come back...

but one day he just stopped coming and I begged Lucas to send a message to him.

I don't know if he did or not but I went through a stage of depression and hatred towards my family back home and Lucas. It wasn't there fault but it wasn't Haru's either... I'm sure he had a perfectly reasonable explanation.

NO ONE'S POV

Loud noises were heard from upstairs. Lilac jumped out of her seat and rushed over to Ren who was sleeping peacefully resting his head on the pillow she gave to him.

"Hey wake up," she softly whispered stroking his wispy hair and caressing his cheeks.

Ren slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head up. "What's wrong?" He said in between yawns.

"I think there's someone upstairs, let's go and check," Ren noticed a glint of excitement in her eyes, but brushed it off.

"Okay,"

I'm nearly on 1K and well thank you all so much for that!!! 💗💗💗💗

I was thinking of doing an extra special chapter with the childhood memories of Lilac and Haru. I don't ship them but idk I think it would be nice to read insights on Haru's childhood and the relationship he had with Lilac.

So yeah the next chapter is going to be very very interesting. I'm super excited 😆.
