"Tsukimi-chan~"
"Ah Midas!"
Two young children were playing at the park near the school. One was a twelve-year-old white-haired child smiling mischievously.
"Mou, stop it!" Tsukimi, a classmate of Midas, pouted as she shyly but happily smacked him on his back.
Tsukimi Chifuyu looked at Midas, the boy who'd stood up for her when bullied because of her height and more developed body.
They called her names.
Cow.
Gaint.
Pig.
It hurt her a lot to the point she cried herself to sleep, and she started to hate her own body.
She wore oversized clothes to hide her body, doing everything she could to disappear. But then one day, he arrived.
Midas.
A transfer from South Korea.
"Hey? Are you okay?" Midas walked up to her face and smiled; his smile always made her heart jump.
Like thunder.
Like an explosion.
She felt giddy.
"Y-yea!" Tsukimi smiled as she grabbed Midas's hand, her heart hammering against her ribs. Her cheek warmed up from the sun, or his hand felt comfortable with hers.
Midas was her Prince Charming.
But she understood one thing over time as she became close with Midas.
She wasn't the only one.
That is the harsh reality for her.
Like one of those novels she reads, more girls became interested in Midas.
The childhood friend never wins.
"Midas! Tsukimi-chan!" A joyful voice rang out. Both turned to see Love-chan, who ran up happily.
Tsukimi smiled as she ran up. They hugged, and Midas watched from the sideline, happy.
Yet.
Midas wasn't looking at Love-chan and Tsukimi-chan.
No.
His cold blue eyes were staring at a fat, middle-aged man.
Wrathful.
Cold.
Midas then smirked at the middle-aged man, who seemed to flinch as the air became chilly. A shiver ran down the middle-aged man's back.
Then, the world seemed angry with Midas, as if it didn't like his existence.
Strings.
Midas pupils turned stiff as he took in a sharp breath.
"Love-chan, Tsukimi-chan, wanna come over to my place?! My mom made curry!" Midas smiled, Charming, and both girls nodded excitedly.
"Yes!"
Love-chan exclaimed as she and Tsukimi-chan looked at Midas.
"Mm, go on ahead! I'll catch up!"
Both girls began to leave for his home, which was just around the corner.
Midas saw multiple strings to the fat middle-aged man; red and black. Five were red, while one was black.
But as Midas got close, he froze a few steps.
The playground was big enough for at least twenty kids to play around, but a few feet away were concrete walls that were six feet tall.
The fat middle-aged man stared at Love-chan and Tsukimi-chan for no reason.
'He was grabbing someone.'
"Oi fat fuck, you pig." Midas voiced out as he walked closer. He looked at the girl, younger than him, probably seven. Eight, maybe. Actually, he didn't have a clue.
But that string waa turning black, wrapping around the girl's neck, like it was forcing fate to happen.
He felt as if the world was taunting him.
Maybe even trying to provoke him.
The fat middle-aged man pulled the girl, who tried to pull away, but couldn't, as the man was far stronger. Midas was quicker.
Fast.
He grabbed the girl, pulling her towards him, and with a devastating kick, straight to the man's crotch.
-crack-
That day would be the day he would not only meet a girl who would cause problems in the future but also the day Midas's fight with fate would grow stronger.
-
Back to the present.
"Thanks, Midas." Tsukimi-chan sat on the right side of Midas with Love-chan on his left.
They were at the Korean BBQ.
The table was made of wood but polished with a seal. In the middle was a grill with a Variety of meat on the side.
The place was lively.
The delicious, rich smell of the meat filled Midas's mouth as he savored the tender meat; his blue eyes sparkled.
'Ahh~ I Love my Gluttony~' Midas ate his white rice in a bowl with meat.
"Mm, if it weren't for you, I would have been drugged and-" Love-chan paused as she looked down, unshed tears as her breath hitched." Who-"
Before she could finish, Midas pulled her to his lap and hugged her tightly. Midas did something he only did for his wife, Elise.
His presence.
Calm.
Warm.
Like a shield.
He used his pride.
His sloth.
To calm Love-chan.
"Hey, it's okay. I won't sugarcoat anything. Yes, it would have turned badly. Who knows what that guy would have done?" Midas tightened the hug, and Love-chan leaned back into his embrace. Her body trembled, but her anchor was Midas.
She felt it.
Tsukimi-chan grabbed Love-chan's hand tightly.
"Mm, Midas is right," Tsukimi-chan spoke as she looked down. She understood how badly things would have turned, especially if she were alone with the other guys.
What if Midas wasn't there?
What if Love-chan went alone?
As she thought of them, many possibilities ran through Tsukimi-chan, things so deranged.
Midas reached and pinched Love-chan's cheek, who pouted.
"Cheer up. I'll talk with the police and file a report later tonight," Midas said reassuringly as he grabbed a steak with his chopsticks.
"Open up, Love-chan~." He brought the steak to Love-chan, who ate it. Her lips lingered a bit longer on the chopsticks.
He grabbed another and ate that one himself. Both girls freeze up. Their innocence was cute to Midas as he played dense.
He grabbed another and fed Tsukimi-chan, who also had her lips lingering.
'K-k-kiss!!' Both girls turned red as they looked down shyly. Midas smirked as he ate.
After eating and Midas teasing, he paid, and they left the place.
-bzz-
Midas took out his phone to see a message from someone.
[I heard you're going to Meiyo Daigaku Fuzoku Koukou!]
Midas chuckled a bit from the text. The innocence on this one was off the chart for multiple reasons.
Uncorrupted
He couldn't.
[I am. I suppose you're going as well?]
[Yes! I transfer my papers! My sister did, and my Mom will teach there, as she heard from your aunt.]
"Midas, thank you again for everything." Love-chan leans in and kisses his right cheek. Tsukimi-chan does the same on his left cheek.
Maybe it's time.
Lust~
