World 4.16

Luca gritted his teeth as he strides the hallway back and forth, worrying about Homura going alone to meet his brother. He really wanted to go with the male, but he's afraid to lose his temper and go berserk in front of Homura.

The male once again looked up. The warm moonlight from above hit his crimson eyes that glitter under the sky. It was already late and Homura was still outside, together with Liev.

"Master Luca.." Tadashi showed up behind him "Master Homura told me to monitor you, please head inside.." he said

Luca just gave him a quick glance "Tadashi, please don't worry about me too much..I'm fine.." he replied

Tadashi lowered his head "But it seems like you are worrying too much for Master Homura than yourself... Please eat your dinner.." he said once more

The other male made a smile "I will...just give me more minutes.." while Tadashi bowed his head and disappeared 

"Homura.." Luca uttered under his breath "Please come home.."

***

The carriage opened its door, Homura exited it and went straight to the Mansion. The place was quiet. "What time is it?" he asked himself as his eyes went straight to the wall clock hanging on the left side. It was already late at night.

He was silently passing through the hallway when a figure hovered behind him. A sudden jolt crawled up to his nape when he felt something around his waist. It was dark, and the lights were already off, but Homura's sense of smell quickly recognized him. 

"Why are you still up this late?" Homura asked.

The shadow behind him curled his back, letting his head rest on Homura's shoulder "I've been waiting for you to come back.." Luca whispered to his ears.

Homura's eyes fluttered in surprise. He leaned back his head slightly to Luca's head "I told you to stop worrying about me" He replied "Did you eat dinner?" he asked 

Luca stayed silent, he moved his head instead towards Homura's neck "Not yet.." then he sniffed the male's nape "Homura, you smell so good.." then he made a peck

Homura sprang from his stance when he felt Luca's wet lips touched his skin "Don't bite me..!" he exclaimed in surprise

Luca looked startled from the male's action towards him "Homura?" he mumbled as they parted away

Meanwhile, Homura's emotions gear up his system in an instant, like he was questioning himself by the way he acted towards Luca. He turned his back and looked away "I-I'm sorry..I-I'm tired.." he said meekly.

Luca's eyes became gloomy as he lowered his head "O-Okay..G-Goodnight.." then he turned around

Homura reached out his hand in the air, trying to stop the male, but Luca was already gone. He was left there speechless and alone. 

He went straight to his room and dropped himself on the bed, staring blankly at the plain ceiling.

"Did he get angry?" he asked himself, putting one arm on his forehead

AUTHOR: What are you planning to do with Liev..?

{Of course I will stick to my plan..}

AUTHOR: You better prepare yourself for the worst

The next morning..

Homura woke up very early, he had something to do in the kitchen. He prepared all the materials and the procedure before going to bed. 

"I can make it.." he uttered to himself 

He puts on the apron around his waist and starts to cook.

When Luca woke up, he was so restless, like there was some burden inside his chest. He sat in front of the mirror to fix his hair, then he proceeded to the dining room. No one was there. Everyone was on the training ground and Homura didn't attend the morning ceremony. He suddenly felt guilty about what he did last night, leaving the male just like that.

So Luca didn't give up on finding him until he bumped into Tadashi "Tadashi..I've been finding Homura for a while now, did you know where he is?" he asked directly

Tadashi smiled a little "Master Homura is in the kitchen.."

Luca just nodded back to thank the male, and then he rushed to the kitchen. A rumbling voice quickly bang his ears the moment he steps into the kitchen entrance.

"Gahhh!!! Why can't I make it perfect?!"

"I've studied it all night..!"

"I don't want to disappoint him.."

"What should I do now?!"

Luca steps back and peek his head instead beside the door, watching Homura getting pissed off. It was the first time for him to see an uncommon expression on the male's face, and he can't deny that it was cute. The way Homura pouted his mouth made him want to kiss his lips. When Homura's eyes bawled in annoyance, he wanted to caress it gently. 

"I k-know y-you're there.." a voice made him sprang from peeking.

Luca scratched his head and smiled nervously "Ehehe.. I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.." he said 

Homura's eyes turned left and right with his shaky hands, he was so embarrassed. "It's o-okay.." he said in a low voice

Luca leapt in excitement after finding out that it was okay for Homura to let him in. He dashed to the male's side to look at his problem "What happened? It seems like you are so pissed off.." he said.

Homura furrowed his eyebrows and twitched his lips "I'm trying to bake a pie.." he answered sluggishly

"I can help.."

Homura was surprised "Ehh?! I'm supposedly doing this for you..!" he exclaimed.

Something inside Luca's stomach flaunts in happiness "W-Why though..?" he asked

The other male's cheeks turned to rose red as he averted his gaze "B-Because I-I ignore y-you last n-night.." he stuttered, 

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 60%'

Luca held his hands "I should be the one apologizing to you, Homura.. My mind went blank and I move without thinking, I'm sorry if I startled you.." he said 

While Homura nodded back in agreement "Let's just forget what happened and bake this one.." he invited

The other male went near the kitchen counter as he was scanning everything in his sight. He picked up the dough and the rolling pin. "I have some baking skills but I'm telling you I'm not an expert..so please help me too.." Luca said while clearing the table surface 

"Mmm! It's okay, let's bake together.." Homura exclaimed

The two started to explore the kitchen and do what they needed to do, they were enjoying the time so much.

"Luca, What kind of pie are we baking?" Homura asked

"I want it to be an apple pie.." the other male quickly answered 

Homura's face became blank "Apple? Do you like apples?" he asked again

A cunning smile stretched Luca's cheeks, he slowly sliced the apples on the table and then he glanced at Homura "It's because.." he left the other side of the table. He walked closer to Homura's stance until he cornered him on the very corner of the counter.

"L-Luca..What are you doing?" Homura averted his gaze with his blushing face

While Luca bent closer to his face "Do you know what you smell like?" he whispered with his deep voice

The other male couldn't reply immediately because it felt like he was into some kind of spell that Luca chanted, his eyes looking at him were enticing. It was the same look when Luca wanted to devour him.

"S-So close,," Homura uttered

Luca smirked, reaching for the male's ears "Homura, you're as sweet as apples.."

DING!!!

'YOU'VE UNLOCKED ANOTHER PART OF THE PLOT!'
