Midnight Sun's Paradise

Season 1: Chapter 6: Leloux del Fuente

"Hey, Bryle!" called Leloux.

After hearing that expected call, Bryle just continued to walk, trying to ignore Leloux. How many days has it been since Leloux transferred to the university, it looks like he's still glued with Bryle. But on the other hand, Bryle doesn't want to befriend Leloux since he's famous in the whole university, and he doesn't want to get involved with it. Gerard, who's always with Bryle, always gets so confused.

"He's calling you again. Do you really not know each oth---"

"I already said no! I don't know that creep! Hey, Gerard. Help me," he begged Gerard with his teary eyes. It looks like he needed some help to get rid of Leloux. How many days has it been since he's trying to ignore him? No matter how hard he'd act innocent, that Leloux would still annoy him.

"That's no use. I can't get involved with your affairs. But still, once he's exposed in a public place, a lot of girls will go to him. Wow, celebrity guy."

It's true. The time Leloux called Bryle, he was dragged away by a huge group of girls. They complimented and asked him a lot of things that would get Leloux irritated sometimes, but he will keep them to himself. He won't get annoyed physically. It's not good to show his true self even he's in this situation, it might ruin his mission. So on his part, he had to endure all of this just for the sake of his clan leader's command.

Bryle sighed, "Even so. He keeps on following me. What's wrong with---"

"Good luck, my friend," Gerard waved back at him and was winking jokingly as he left Bryle alone. 

Bryle left his jaw hanging while he trembled in nervousness. What if that Leloux would come back and will follow him again? Should he go to the police and report that someone's been stalking him?

But even if he's thinking that way, he couldn't do it since he doesn't even know what's the real motive of that Leloux. For these past days, Bryle wasn't able to talk even once with Leloux since it creeped him out. But what if he's just a good guy who wanted to befriend him? Of course, he's so friendly. He even got all of the teachers and the students to be his friend within just two days.

After a few minutes of walking, Bryle suddenly felt his head ringing. It's numbing painfully and it felt like something has been rumbling inside his head, pricking his nerves. From his vision, the place slowly melted away and it was sucking him up wholely.

"H-Huh?" Bryle accidentally lost his balance and collapsed. But for a second there, someone else's arms caught him swiftly. 

He tried to look at the person who held him but the figure was all blurry and his head was aching so much that he wanted to close his eyes. It might be a short glimpse, but he was certain it was a guy who held him. Bryle in his sleep regretted that he wasn't able to see the person's face and thank him properly.

"Hey, are you alright?" Leloux asked worriedly while he tried shaking him. 

After realizing that Bryle didn't answer him, Leloux carried him to the infirmary room. He was so calm since no one else was there--- not even a patient nor a nurse, it was just the two of them all alone.

"Of course you passed out since you are pregnant," Leloux smirked while he gently put Bryle down to the bed.

"Your body must be too weak to handle a half-werewolf half-human child," he whispered while laughing in a half-suppressed, scornful way.

He covered him with the blanket and he then gently kissed him in the forehead while whispering, "The scent of that werewolf is in you, I can smell it."

After a while, he sniffed Bryle's neck as if he's thirsty for something. He then looked up and went to his ear and whispered, "Too sad to end your life this way." 

With this in mind, he put his hand onto Bryle's chest. A glowing light was formed on his palm, setting it for getting ready to suck up Bryle's soul. 

"You may now rest in---"

Before he could finish off what he was saying, Gerard, unknowingly, entered the infirmary. Happily barged in while bringing some snacks, "Hey! Bryle---"

Gerard was disappointed by what he just witnessed, "Hm?" He caught Leloux caressing Bryle's face the time when he stepped inside.

His face went into a serious one. His straight face while looking at Leloux was like a stare of a murderer. Leloux flinched and his reaction was a bit surprising. He suitably distanced himself from Bryle and then smiled at Gerard ordinarily.

"G-Gerard! Wh-What brings you here?" Leloux fidgeted while facing him nervously. He could feel his cheeks burning up in embarrassment.

"Hey, I told you, right?" Gerard slowly walked in, putting the bag of snacks on the table, and faced Leloux closely, "Don't touch or lay a finger on him, didn't I say that clearly yesterday?" 

Yesterday, when Bryle was about to go home, Gerard caught Leloux following him. He then confronted Leloux since Gerard felt something was off about this guy. Why does he always follow Bryle when he already knew that Bryle doesn't like him in the first place?

That's when Leloux knew, his power won't work against Gerard. He couldn't suck up Gerard's soul even if he was doing everything he could. There were no other chances left that's why he ran away from hurting his pride. It was his first-time failure as the second leader of the white demon clan. It was all because of a mere human that he was so depressed yesterday, thinking what kind of ability does that lowly human possessed.

And for the meantime, Leloux was frightened by Gerard's murderous eyes as he drew closer to him. His eyes were like a vacuum, sucking him up forcefully. On the other hand, Leloux stepped back as he trembled in fright, meanwhile Gerard, still continued to go nearer to him. 

Leloux stopped stepping back since there's nowhere place to be escaped from. Something was off with Gerard that even Leloux couldn't find what is it. He then gritted his teeth while looking sharply(pissed off) at Gerard. 

"What's the real reason why my ability won't work on him?" he thought.

While he had nowhere else to go, Gerard hit the wall so that Leloux won't get away. Of course, Leloux's reaction was so pissed off. He tried pushing Gerard away but unfortunately, Gerard hit the wall for the second time with his other hand. After then, Leloux was dismayed. 

"Why? You wanna run away again?" Gerard said in a husky, low tone voice while tilting his head to drew closer again towards Leloux's face.
