Won't you sit down?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOAUWEj3h1 維尼

Glaring over at the brunette sitting on the well upholstered divan, Luka went back to pacing the well-polished tile. It had been nearly two hours or so since he had awaken in the strange apartment with its even stranger owner. In all the time that he had been there, not once did he manage to get a clear view of his host's face. Furthermore, when the man faced his direction, the stranger wore a pair of sunglasses, yet he took them off for the time being as he sat on a black chaise with a cup of what could've been tea.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSGSf2AtF 維尼

Luka could see the glasses on the table but he still couldn't see the man's face, what with his back to him.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHF6vGjVg 維尼

"You should be resting, Luka dear. You've had quite a night and the sun has already begun its ascent some time ago."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyBVtMxcQM 維尼

"Stop saying 'dear' like you know me."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FpMMqesS3 維尼

"But I do know you, dear Luka," the host replied as he took a sip from his cup.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaI5MKwezO 維尼

"Don't call me that."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyXAe5kui7 維尼

"Dear Luka or Luka dear?" came the reply.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcUsfuyQ84 維尼

Said person glared. "Are you trying to make me angry?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMdgJpUX5m 維尼

"And what would you do if I was?" The host merely smiled to himself as he felt the other staring daggers into him. "Come now, dear Lu-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pc5dIvCOO 維尼

"Don't you dare," he warned.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjafGeoFU3 維尼

"Very well, but won't you sit down?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN2bYfi32x 維尼

"You've already asked that."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2QhE3dZvQ 維尼

"Yet you have yet to acknowledge that fact with an answer." Green eyes darted towards the door. "It's locked, Mr. Marquis."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW3ITSIm8R 維尼

Gritting his teeth, Luka walked to the couch opposite of the man and took a seat before eyeing the cup presented to him. "I'm sitting."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbfCzrUn2a 維尼

"Yes; do drink up."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6hbNyyruG 維尼

"No."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfoUJVqyT 維尼

"But-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM1mSG8s5s 維尼

"What do you want from me?" Luka questioned as he eyed the man in the process of sipping from his cup.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVmlvzwEzH 維尼

"What makes you think I-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8o6xTo128 維尼

"Cut the bullshit."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dn5r2mNpo 維尼

Setting down his drink, purple eyes shifted upwards to give the guest a clear view for the first time. They were light in color, a shade not distinguishable except for calling them purple. It was just the irises, however. That was to be expected. The coloring had to be that of contacts, yet the raven had an annoying feeling knocking at the back of his mind. The host's eyes seemed unnatural, whether it be due the contacts or not. They had a peculiar trait to them beside the color. It'd be rude to lean in to get a better look but it seemed that the man's eyes had a faint ring of a dark purple circling his pupil.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡakrjP8zENM 維尼

"Very well. I do wish something of you." He offered a smile prior to resting his arms along the top of his seat, "Seeing how you're not too fond of formalities, I'll try to make this blunt as possible." His smile then faltered before he sighed. "Do cut that out."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRXpuK0kB 維尼

"But-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9n3lxvfVV 維尼

"It's rude to stare."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Mx6caz6c 維尼

"Well, so is locking a person in a room without letting them go."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Orzrr9XhD 維尼

"That sounds similar to what you call an interrogation room. Well, that or prison."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ExVBq0pgc 維尼

"Yeah."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28929qOCFr 維尼

"Yet, somehow, you manage to evade both. How lucky of you, Luka dear." Going to glare, Luka opted against when he caught the malicious glint in the other's gaze. "Tell me something, dear Luka. Wh-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsBCod883i 維尼

"I told you to stop calling me that!" His eyes then went to the door before hearing a chuckle. "Who are you?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXPtTcQbKt 維尼

"Hmm? You mean lil 'ol me?" Luka looked at him, eyebrow raised. "Why, I go by many things-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mszjaL3Te 維尼

"I didn't ask all that. All I asked for was your damn name. Who are you?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGznh7TpjJ 維尼

"Disrespectful man, aren't you?" He only received another nasty look before giving a smile. "You can call me Azazel."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUyw1nJ7xw 維尼

"Azazel…?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Ka6ImIaD 維尼

"Or Zel, whichever," the one named Azazel clarified as he rose to his feet. "Now, since we have intro-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0g9JiaqiG 維尼

"Why am I still here?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRIEQcFPLo 維尼

"If you let me finish-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHa1TsARu 維尼

"If you'd hurry the hell up," Luka interjected.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJEKsZlYR 維尼

"Fine, I'll make this as short and simple for you as possible. However, it's not like you have a schedule to uphold anyway."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHnRbDMPOL 維尼

"You're wasting my time."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPRVZygHH 維尼

"Technically, your time is my time." Purple eyes watched the faint twitch in the other's green gaze. "That and if anyone's wasting time, you're wasting Nora's."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl5cBSpAom 維尼

"What?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡetQOA7wRqN 維尼

"You heard me."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52w1SvKDdv 維尼

Walking over to the man that had gone to get himself another drink, he watched as he poured a steaming, dark liquid into a goblet. "Leave Nora-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmf5M1dt3K 維尼

"You're the one that killed him yet you're telling me to leave him alone," Zel interrupted before taking a sip from his cup. "Will you waste more time and kill him for a second time?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtzSj2pI1 維尼

Balling up a fist, the raven swung at the other without a second thought but was surprised when the brunette shifted a bit to the side, avoiding the punch altogether. As Azazel turned to walk around the man, Luka grabbed the front of his shirt, making him spill the hot liquid on himself. The host soon bowed his head as the steam disappeared into the cooler air of the room.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTQ1wpeweN 維尼

"Ouch…"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RSiPBy3i 維尼

Shoving the man in the chest, Azazel watched as his welcomed guest stumbled back, releasing him in the process, before falling over a foot stool and landing on his ass. As narrowed green eyes looked his way, the one dubbed Azazel slid a hand into his pocket while his other held onto the cup he had been holding.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Ixcjck99 維尼

"What-?8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvaEnAcbYs 維尼

"If you would hold your tongue of more than two minutes, I'd tell you," he said plainly as he extended his hand. "Go on and take it."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNneFeDOC 維尼

Eyeing the offered hand, Luka looked elsewhere as he got to his feet. Hearing the other suck his teeth, he folded his arms before tapping his foot. "Well?" He bristled when the other hummed in question. "Ask!"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDuL6FSbf6 維尼

"Ah." Walking over to the front door, Zel rested his hand along the wooden barrier. "I wanted to begin by telling you that your friend, Nora, has three days."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUMLxWgbe6 維尼

"Three days for what?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GO6lszmQM 維尼

Azazel merely pulled on the handle, opening the other's means of an exit. "Before he dies of course."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡruUec6wI0W 維尼

"What?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRCFU29E5Q 維尼

"We can play the question game all day, Luka dear. It doesn't bother me at all but tick-tock."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcIen1oNJf 維尼

Sidestepping the man, Zel didn't have to look out the window to know the man had run out the room. Going over to the window, lilac-colored eyes peered through the blinds to see the raven sprinting down the sidewalk pushing his way past civilians.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh73OTuH8I 維尼

"Sir?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DAuyQp2Y 維尼

"Let him be," Azazel ordered as he crossed the room to take a seat. He then poured two glasses, one for himself and his new guest. "We'll be seeing him real soon," he added with a slight smile as he offered the cup. "Do drink up."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9wSPMc4eP 維尼

"C'mon, C'mon…."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8YKSA17RE 維尼

Tapping his foot impatiently as he listened to the elevator music, Luka hurried out the lift the moment the doors opened. Sidestepping an elderly woman, he ran down the elegantly lavishly carpeted floor of the fifth floor before skidding to a halt as he reached the end. Making a sharp left turn, he continued on his way until he reached the very last door. Knocking furiously, he waited with abated breath before pausing at the sound of what could've been footsteps. When they stopped, however, he began pummeling the door with heavy knocks, drowning out the sound of locks and tumblers being undone. As he went to knock once more, he stopped midway when his fist almost collided with the blonde's forehead.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd1wjT2ti8 維尼

"Jeez, are you trying to wake the dead?" Blue eyes then shifted slightly before the raven was pulled inside, door closing behind him. "You always seem to come around when I'm cooking. It's like you know or something," the petite man said as he headed back to the kitchen.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZbStdz4F 維尼

"Nora-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6u51FhHwC 維尼

"Then again, I've grown accustomed to this peculiar habit of yours." Nora said as he walked back with a plate of food and a glass of milk. Setting the breakfast down on the coffee table, blue eyes flicked towards the taller of the two. "Luka, what's wrong?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCu81wGiv1 維尼

"Are you ok?" he replied.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMedxJKSWk 維尼

"I could ask you the same," Nora countered as he headed back towards the kitchen. "You usually start eating without a word." He then went to fix himself a plate. "Do eat up.. Also, take a shower. You reek of downtown…Um, you didn't spend the night in some whore house did you?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF7LIckO5L 維尼

"Nora-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2fFlMJsgi 維尼

"I suppose that's none of my business though…Any who, there's a spare pair of clothes in the usual spot."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXbhZHyHO2 維尼

"Nora-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwfnNG2Hnn 維尼

"There's a spare toothbrush and-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmIaALPq8c 維尼

"Nora."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZ1WH11gt 維尼

"Jeez, what-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnciWSgPpo 維尼

"Can you…open your robe?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu0jXLCy7n 維尼

Blue eyes widened before narrowing as a faint flush darted across the blonde's face. "…um, pardon?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUasGKzUMs 維尼

"Your robe, Nora."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd87frq2pE 維尼

"Yeah, I know but you want me to-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFrynU2C2m 維尼

Rolling his eyes, Luka snatched the sleeve of the other's forest green robe, giving it a swift tug, pulling the article of clothing off and onto a nearby armchair. Focusing on the piece of clothing for a second more, the raven then stared at a very flustered acquaintance that was in the process of covering himself up.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHSMynEzRg 維尼

"Nora-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxaCvG5GoH 維尼

"What the hell was that for?" he snapped. "Give me back my damn robe, you bastard."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnNFeFIpb 維尼

"Nor-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfypLCQYtB 維尼

"Give it back!"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡreleApkLeJ 維尼

Offering the thing that he had taken, Luka watched as the blonde snatched the item back. Hearing him mumble something about losing his damn mind, the guest took a step forward when he noticed something was out of place. Following behind the smaller man, Luka tugged the robe off his host before tossing it aside again, earning yet another startled sound.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZ65lsCcT 維尼

"What the hell is your problem today?!" Nora growled as he whirled around in attempts to snatch the item before it was out of reach.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWnx1VDXnG 維尼

There's no hole in his back- His gaze then looked down at the man's torso. –or in his chest…8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcM3aJCTc9 維尼

His eyes then wandered back up to see a narrowed, oceanic blue pair glaring daggers at him. "What's your problem today?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdVrWxAtu 維尼

"Are you feeling ok?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnuevMlt4e 維尼

"Oh, I don't know," Nora replied as he walked around the man to grab his robe again. "I mean, I make this crazy ass guy breakfast and he thanks me by pulling my robe off. It's not like this place isn't chilly or anything but hey! Why not, right?" He then headed back to the kitchen. "Keep in mind the same nut keeps asking me if I'm ok when he's been only god knows where at night." The blonde then came to a halt midstride. "Were you out doing…you know?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9PNHDKfrC 維尼

"No."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5wNj2Uhg 維尼

Nora just looked back at the expressionless face before sighing quietly. "Are you ly-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡixbhhLY9qN 維尼

"I'm not lying."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ssLzR6Bwv 維尼

"Where were you?" Green eyes shifted to regard a framed pictured though the man heard the exasperated sigh. "Lu, you know I don't typically ask where you go but tell me something please?" When the raven took a seat and began eating, Nora pinched the bridge of his nose before shaking his head as he continued on his way. "Lu, just-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjybKQkva 維尼

"I had some business," Luka cut in.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ837CdHxImL 維尼

"What kind?"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsoAhwNfm1 維尼

"Important."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8arOw1FJ 維尼

"Lu-"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqLF4QBCtm 維尼

"It's not important."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWqvujtVaQ 維尼

"But you just said it was."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwitCbZ7Eu 維尼

"I did and it was. Don't worry about it," the raven said before eating several strips of bacon. "Bit crispy today."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCbKcqgBm 維尼

Scowling when the man made another comment on his cooking, Nora rounded the table to take the plate. "No one is making you eat it."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tDbqUuaOe 維尼

Grabbing the smaller man's wrist, Luka continued eating. "I never said it was bad, you know? You're too sensitive."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1XE9amWuO 維尼

"You're a charity case."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu9WZI5jse 維尼

Offering a subtle smile as the other pulled his wrist away, the man picked up the glass. "Perhaps but no one says you have to deal with me."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdsXquDEJl 維尼

Watching what resembled a pout, Luka chuckled until the man swatted him upside the head. "Just hurry up and eat. You still stink and I have to be to work in two hours."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0IkoWMf7J 維尼

"Ok, ok but you know I don't approve of your job."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzQVAeox9K 維尼

"And I don't approve of your hobbies so we're even."8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUBo97ojca 維尼

"Touche…"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6yuLiLRZw 維尼

"Hurry up and go shower," the blonde said as picked up the glass. Catching something dark at the side of the man's neck as he began to leave, Luka grabbed him by the wrist, causing him to drop cup. "Are you crazy?" Nora griped as he looked down at the glass shards scattered along the floor.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW22O5cufS 維尼

"What's that on your neck?" Luka asked.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklsNtVhly 維尼

"What are you talking about?" Yanking his wrist back, Nora walked over to a wall mirror and examined his neck prior to throwing his guest a skeptic look. "You must have lost your mind or something. There's nothing there. Now, stop stalling and take a shower! I'm not going to be late to work because you!"8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIB8473yZK 維尼

Rising to his feet as the man went to his bedroom, green eyes narrowed slightly once he lost sight of the mark due to the closing of the door. When did you…get a tattoo? Pondering over that for a while, he shook his head at the notion as he went to the bathroom to take a shower. "That can't be right," he murmured to himself.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSYEUJcYFR 維尼

Nora wouldn't get a tattoo, especially one that looked like a pentagram.8964 copyright protection361ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRDEWFxFLx 維尼
