Drifting off to sleep, I heard a faint sound coming from the veranda window.
....?
I brushed it off, as it might be just the wind, but I heard a knock following the wind
I stood up fast grabing whatever was near me as a weapon
I slowly walk away from the window, widening the gap so I'll be safe from any kind of sneak or ambush attack
My movement was obvious, which made the person outside the window speak
".... it's me."
A male voice came out from outside
who?
"Open the window."
Ain't no way I'm opening that damn window.
"Misha"
He called.
Although the voice is kind of monotone, it reminded me of someone
".... Lucian?"
I called out.
No one replied.
I got curious.
I slowly approached the window, twisting the lever and opening it
The moment I open the window, there he is, a man covered with a black hood, standing there watching me
"Lucian?"
I asked again
He just stood there, hesitant as he replied. "Yes.... It's me.... Lucian"
What's wrong with him? Why does he sound exhausted?
"Are you alright? What's wrong? Have you forgotten something? Why are you wearing a cloak? Are you going somewhere?" I bombarded him with questions.
"....Yes. I'll be going somewhere."
"Is that so..."
Why would he need to visit me again, though?
"Is it far? Will you come back by morning?" I asked
"...Yes. I'll always come back."
His short replies are kind of throwing me off the rails
What's wrong with him? Is this like his split personality? But only shows at night?
"Um... is something wrong?"
I approached him
He's standing behind the moon's light, so I could barely see his face, hidden behind that cloak. Even though it's hard to glance, I could tell that his eyes, which are usually honey-dripping, are frozen and dark
Maybe because there's no light?
"Don't worry... everything will be fine," He spoke
His words really scare me
"... okay? Anyway, do you need something before leaving?"
He approached me, closing the gap between us, as he suddenly hugged me.
!!
"Wha- whats wrong?"
"Misha....."
He spoke.
"Yes?"
He let go
I could see his deep honey shimmers as the light from the window reflected on him
Why is it still deep?
He smiled. Catching me off guard
"You... still small."
"Wha-"
What the heck is wrong with this person?!
"Who are you calling small!"
I screamed back at him
stepping back, he smiled
"I'll be back."
He spoke as he suddenly disappeared when I blinked
I glanced down the veranda, thinking maybe I could catch a glance of him striding off
"He's gone already?"
What's wrong with him?
I head back inside, closing the window.
I stride back to my bed.
"Hopefully he'll be safe... he never told me where he will be going though."
With heavy eyes, I slept immediately.
