There were grunts, chain noises, and footsteps going to a room in the middle of the hallway.
*Panting*
A boy who seems to be in his 20’s was stuck inside a huge birdcage, but a birdcage huge enough for the boy to roam around freely in, yet caged with the huge, but thin spaced cage liner. The boy held onto the cage liner, trying to think of a way out.
“You won’t be able to get out Astro..”
The man came in with his quiet feet.
“Dante..”
Immediately, Dante was gone, and suddenly popped in front of Astrophel.
“.....”
Dante grinned slightly, and his forehead fell to Arstophel’s shoulders.
“Haaah.. I feel so tired..”
“...”
“Dante..”
“Yes?”
“Please let me go..”
Dante’s eye which was so warm and childish suddenly vanished, and became cold.
“Astro..”
Dante played around with Artsophel’s long hair that fell to his shoulders, and looked at him from the shoulders.
“Didn’t I already tell you?.. I won’t let you go.”
“Bu-”
“Astro. Remember what I said?”
Dante let go his Astrophel’s hair, and roamed his hand around his back.
“If you came to bring me down, I will let you do that..”
His eyes became chilling with ice.
“But if they bring you down.. I’ll bring you back to me once again.”
Astrophel felt goosebumps on his shoulders, and shuddered.
Dante went back to grinning, and held Astrophel tightly.
*I won’t let go of you so easily. You were the one that came to me first.*
…………………………
(Years ago)
A small child wandered around the forest alone, and found himself in a huge mansion that was like a labyrinth. He ended up in a room that looked dark, pitch black. As he kept on walking in further and further away from the door, he came upon a man under the moonlight.
The small boy touched the man, thinking that it wasn’t real. The next thing he didn’t know, he fell asleep on top of the man who woke up to see him on top of him.
The man was quite surprised, but didn’t let it affect him. He carried the boy to the bed, and lie down next to him. He watched the little boys hair reflect from the moon, and looked at his shiny hair as it was being reflected.
……………….
Once the boy woke up, he became close to the man, and stayed with him.
The boy looked up to the man, only to leave him once he turned 15 years old.
After some years past by, they reunited only to be enemies. The hero, killing the villain to save the world, and the villain trying to take back what was his from the world.
………………………………..
As Astrophel was asleep in Dante’s arms, Dante who was grinning as he was holding onto Astrophel; took his hand up close to his face with Astrophel’s hair in his hand and gripped onto it.
“No matter how hard you try to get out of this cage, you won’t be to..”
Dante looked at Astrophel.
“As it was specially made for you.”
He hugged Astrophel in a possessive way.
“No matter what, you are to live with me until your life ends.”
Dante closed his eyes as if he was pleased.
