Keeping the existence of Moonlight in secret was impossible. And I knew it.
Next morning, when I opened the door and wanted to spend some time outside, enjoying with the warm "wind", I stumbled upon Yundoran.
"You like romance, don't you?" he suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Remember you complained that now, people forgot about love and all this romantic stuff."
"Yes. And?"
"Let's go. I want you too meet someone. Actually, it is a girl," he whispered and winked.
"I didn't say that I need a girl or any romance! I won't go anywhere. I am busy."
The moment when I wanted to enter the house and close the door, Yundoran closed his mouth with his palm and made a loud sound as if he was frightened.
Yes, that was unavoidable. He saw Moonlight, who was already standing behind of my back.
"Good morning," Moonlight said.
After examining him, Yundoran asked, "Who is he?"
There was no point to keep Moonlight in secret anymore, so I said, "Dear friend, this is Moonlight. Moonlight, this is my best friend Yundoran."
"When did you buy Wizard and why didn't you tell me about it?"
"First of all, I didn't buy him. It is Sennhandd's present."
"I can't believe it!" Yundoran exclaimed.
Thus, making Moonlight tremble.
"Try to be calm. Moonlight is a few days old. He can easily get scared."
"Moonlight? What kind of name is this?"
"He is beautiful and pure, just like Moonlight," I said and didn't even notice that I was smiling like crazy.
"What?! What is happening here?"
"Anyway, now you see that I have no time to meet that girl. And I don't need any love. I have to stay at home," I said and pointed towards the door.
"He is so beautiful. Wait, Wizards are agender. Am I right? Tell me something about you," Yundoran said, still examining Moonlight. "Look at these strands of hair. Sennhandd knows how to express beauty. This feminine tenderness, and there is also something from men. Look at this! Now, I want to have one too. Also, he can make any wish come true! Tell me, what was Oki's first wish?"
"To touch my skin and feel my heartbeat," Moonlight seriously said.
"What? Oki, what is happening? What kind of wish is it?"
Feeling awkward, I said, "I am busy today. You can go and have fun."
"No! I came after you and you perfectly know, that I won't leave you! Now, put on your best suit and be ready to act like Romeo tonight."
"Romeo and Juliet?" Moonlight asked.
"You already know them? Poor creature, I bet Oki forces you to study and read a lot," Yundoran said and hugged him.
When I saw his hand on his shoulders, I felt something, which was close to jealousy. Or maybe it was the real jealousy.
Because what I did next, was the indication of it.
I took Yundoran by the hand and led him towards the door. "Leave. I really don't have time for your adventures."
But of course I knew that he wouldn't leave me just like that.
The next minute, I was already standing in my closet.
"Do you want to go with me?"
"Can I?"
"Of course," I said.
Moonlight, already feeling himself at home, approached me and whispered, "I think your friend is a bit scary. I don't know how to behave next to him."
"He is not scary. Actually, he is very good person. He is sincere and kind. And believe me, that is very rare qualities these days. Don't worry. You don't have to talk to him. Just don't leave me."
"Don't leave me", these words made my heart ache. These three words, were already like knifes, which were ready to hurt me after five years.
But five years are enough, to call this amount of time - eternity.
Wearing a simple white shirt without a tie and simple black jeans, I combed my hair.
"Oki, can you help me?" suddenly, I heard his voice from the closet.
Standing only in simple jeans, Moonlight was holding a simple T - shirt in his hand.
Seeing his skin which was perfect, I couldn't help but to wish for another touch.
Fearing that he might read my thoughts, I quickly began to meditate.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.
"How can I help you?"
He showed to me a T - shirt and said, "I don't think that I know how to wear this."
"Here. Like this."
Feeling the warmth which was coming from this body, my hands trembled. No, they were shaking, and I couldn't control it. All my ten fingers were hardly holding the thin fabric of cloth. And all because, this creature was too close to me.
Finally, when I helped him to wear it, I stepped aside and lowered my eyes.
I thought that I calmed down, but no. The next second, feeling his hand on my forehead, I almost fell down.
"You don't feel alright?"
Sitting on my knees, I felt the storm inside of me. And this storm was coming right from my heart.
"I am alright. It is fine," I whispered.
"I can hear your heartbeat. It sounds almost like mine," Moonlight said. And to make the situation even "worse", he put his hand on my chest.
Looking at his face at such a close distance, and seeing that majestic features which were the part of the Universe, in these eyes, in these eyebrows, on this lips, I could see the traces of the cosmic beauty. I could see galaxies, stars, planets, moonlight.
"Yes, I think we have similar hearts. Our hearts are beating together. One rhythm," he said. His palm was still on my heart.
"We should go now," I hardly managed to say.
What happened next was beyond of my mind. Because, I was still in my closet.
But when I came back to my senses and to this reality, I realized that we were on the roof of one tall building.
Everything around was beautifully decorated. Candles, lamps, round tables with small vintage plates and many flowers, created a perfect atmosphere for reading poems and feeling love.
But it was worth waiting a little longer, as we were overwhelmed by a small crowd of people who enthusiastically began to meet Yundoran.
As I understand it, he had a lot of acquaintances. And among them, I noticed a young girl in a leather skirt and in a green blouse with lace.
Well, other people were just men in multicolored suits, in which they looked like clowns.
"My friend, all these people are actually very smart. Look at them! Are they just like everyone else? They're different! And so they are all here!"
"Is that you, the writer and the historian?" asked one man, who had a glass of strange liquid inside.
Sensing a smell that was supposed to be pleasant, I felt the desire to step aside and try not to splash out the contents of my stomach.
But this man wasn't going to take a step away from me. And I had to support that conversation.
