You aren't real

Alexander opened his eyes in a room that looked similar to the one that he had back in Arimelari. The last thing he could recall was the fight by the Lake and the next moment he was there.

He went to sit up from the floor to find the other only to discover that someone's hand was holding him. He turned his gaze to find Francis gazing at him with gentle eyes.

He had a bright smile on his face as he stared at him. The love in his eyes was evident for him to see, it was something that he had lost a long time ago. Despite being with him by his side, he was not foolish not to notice that it wasn't the same.

He smiled at the male and raised his eyebrows to ask him what the matter was. Francis shook his head to him, he had no problem but after the lake. He felt like he was seeing Alex for the first, it felt like they had only met and he couldn't help but be mesmerised by him.
