Zuenira: Sorry for the one-day late chapter! I can't log in the whole day yesterday!!

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD

The deep blue seas attract my senses

The tide is like the heartbeat of eternity

I feel warm as safe as I'm diving in deeper

Into the heart of the ocean

I have no fear

Beauty and wisdom are surrounding me here

Aren't we the ones who tried to ignore?

Why I've never felt like this before?

Oh! I cannot say!

It's pulling me deeper

It feels like going home to my father

I feel like a child in this deep blue wilderness

What I used to be is not important

I feel that something has changed inside myself

I breathe easily inside this liquid life

A total synthesis, immortality.

Beauty and wisdom are surrounding me here

Aren't we the ones who tried to ignore?

Forever free is what I could be if I stayed here

With no idea of human greed I would play my part

I escape from everything that I know

As I'm drifting within this flow.

Let me go to where I belong!

Listen to the waves, they are singing our song…

Day three – 8th August

Theme: Ocean

/Emocean\

The coldness slowly took over. My vision was dark, my eyes closed. The pain and pressure in my lungs, I ignored. My consciousness was slowly slipping away as I feel myself sank deeper and deeper. I thought about Mana… I was finally going to reunite with him again. Besides, I have no one else left in this living world, my guardian was a bastard and it's not like he'd care that much. Thinking of the crimson haired womanizer reminded me of another red head.

"La…vi…" I choked out his name, wasting the oxygen my body desperately needed.

I have not known him that long and yet… I feel like I've met him somewhere else before and back then we were really close but then again… that could just be my imagination seeing I am dying. God, even when I'm drowning, I am still able to think stuffs through like this… I felt something wrapped around my waist.

'Huh?' Did I hit the bottom already? Was the sand covering my body? Wait – or I am dead already?

Then I felt like I was being pulled up. No, something IS pulling me up. I wanted to take a peek at who was the one who tried to rescue me, which may I say that I don't need. I hope it wasn't that officer again, that guy was way too observant and impatient for his own good.

At a sudden moment, I was exposed the cold air again. My head was completely out of the water and my lungs started to inhale as much oxygen as my breath can take, resulting me in having a moment of hyperventilation. I felt my body being dragged up and on to the cold ground of the pathway near the street.

I choked automatically, my lungs pushing out the water. Denying my will to rest in the ocean. My heart was beating erratically, transporting the blood as fast as it could towards my brain which was in dire need of oxygen. The condition lasted for a few minutes and slowly I regained all my senses back.

I opened my eyes, hearing someone breathing heavily nearby, must be the one who pulled me out. I slowly turned towards my side where I saw him. The dawn was just breaking and it was still dark but it was unmistakable. A soaked Lavi was regaining his breath, his emerald eye closed. The earlier feelings of anger at the one who rescued me quickly diminished. Instead of yelling unnecessary things for trying to help me when I didn't need any, I just let a smile, a true one, flashed at my features and at the same moment when Lavi reopened his eyes to take a glance at me.

His showed a bit of a surprised expression when he saw my smile. However, that only lasted a second before the expression was replaced with a goofy grin.

"Haha… moyashi…" It seemed he was still short of breath, I noticed that as his chest was heaving up and down. Wait – he was bare-chested. Where did his shirt go off to? "If you want to take a dive, you shouldn't do it at this hour of time, the water is freezing cold…"

I let out a hoarse chuckle. Lavi definitely was one of a kind. He knew I was trying to drown myself yet he didn't scold me for doing so. He just dismissed the fact.

"This is the only time it's not crowded…" I replied soon after earning a lively laugh from the other.

"If you are that desperate, tag me along, will you?" he gave me a wink and I could feel my cheeks heating up. Okay, I definitely am falling for the guy. I made an attempt to look away from those eyes and instead, looked down. Aha, a wrong move if you ask me.

I can tell my blush was getting stronger when my eyes were looking at the well toned muscles and chest. Even his abdomen was… I turned towards the ocean quickly. Silence ensued.

"Allen," until of course, the junior bookman decided to break it. I didn't want to face him when he called me with a serious tone. But he continued anyway, "I know what happened to… Mana."

I froze at that name. He knew? Here, I thought he was going to lecture me about earlier on but this… this is unexpected at all!!

"How…" Before I can finish that sentence I was pulled behind and by the time I realized it, I was leaning against the half naked man. My face must be as red as a tomato by now but I shook it off and instead relaxed in the other's hug. I can feel my face getting wetter, was it the water earlier on? Or am I crying?

"I also know about the other family that adopted you," Lavi said softly as he caressed my hair slowly. I'm not really sure what was happening but I felt so… comfortable and content at the moment. It wasn't the same like I felt around Mana, so I am really falling for him. Wait – didn't I just confirm that earlier?

I twisted around, still sitting on Lavi's lap, and looked up at him. I just realized, he was not wearing his green bandanna, making his red hair fall lightly. I was amazed that it didn't look as spiky as it did when the bandanna was on and also for the fact that his hair was longer than I thought. I can feel him holding my chin, his face leaning closer to mine…

His pale features were even more visible in the darkness of the dawn, for the first time, I was able to see his face clearly without any mask obscuring it. It was breathtaking, his beauty was just unnatural. His expression when he tilted his head backwards to look at me was tempting and this time I can't help myself as I stared into those eyes. I didn't care, not now. Bookman or not, this is what I want. I took hold of his smooth chin and pulled him closer. He didn't fight back, so does that mean he feels the same way towards me? Only one way to find out.

Our lips locked. It was slow and smooth for the first three seconds before I pushed mine harder onto his and he did the same. He bit my bottom lip, asking for an entrance and I allowed it. His tongue, exploring the cave known as my mouth and I teasingly played with the tip of his tongue.

Both tongues played around with one another for a while before he broke the kiss. Some saliva trailing down his lips but I didn't mind. I opened my eyes which I didn't realize I closed, maybe because I was enjoying the moment too much. His green eye sparkled and I can't help but smile seductively.

My arms were encircling his neck and he was on top of me. The change of position must have occurred during the 'battle' earlier on. His lips curved up.

If one were to see us now, it would totally look weird. A white-haired boy being pinned down to the ground by a man larger size and half naked too. However I don't really cared about that now and besides who would be awake at this hour?

"Thank you, Lavi…" I whispered loud enough so that he could hear it. I didn't give him time to reply as I crash my lips onto his again.

Zuenira: ^^" I apologize for this crappy chapter. Azure went missing… I think his hiding or napping somewhere which I have no clue where… So that's why this chapter is a bit late and a bit weird with the grammar and all… I'm not that good at writing so… I hope I didn't do that badly… ^^" *nervous laugh*
