Icarus POV

Those three words were forever imprinted in my mind.

I love you.

Three simple words that held so much meaning. That now, whenever I would look into those dark eyes of his. I will hear those three words echo in my mind.

We sat in the same position. His legs side by side with my torso. My head tilted back on his lap, looking up at him.

It seemed as if time stopped. Me lost for words, and him holding his breath.

With little choice left in my actions. I grabbed his thick hand with my small one. Gently unraveling his clenched fingers, I turned his hand over palm up. With care for his feelings, I bent my head down and kissed the calloused center of his hand.

"I think I'm falling in love with you too," I whispered into his hand, scared I made the wrong move.

I heard a slight catch in his breath, that made me suck in my own. He wrapped his hand around my chin. Then his thumb gently started to caress my pink lips. Each stroke across the plump Cupid's bow he would add slight pressure. That simple touch sent a tumble of butterflies in the pit of my stomach.

"That's good enough for me Icarus." he answered, using as much care as I did.

It was moments like this I would remember in my long life. The moonlight peeking through the cracks of the curtains, bathing us in its timeless glow. The soft passing of his thumb across my face, my small hand clenching around his wrist. And my eyes with the way that they would sparkle when I looked up at him.

I looked up at him to see that he was already looking down at me. My lips parted on their own accord when he pulled my chin up to him. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt his breath clash with my own. Our lips were so close that all I had to do was move them a little to reach his. Zaikai had the same thought it seemed and just when our lips finally touched there was a brisk knock at the door.

I felt Zaikai sigh at my lips, and with the most dark voice I have ever heard he roared. "What is it that you want!"

I heard his servant shuffle back slightly then with a timid voice he answered, "s-sir master L-Lucas and Lord Raul are here, and I can't hold master Lucas back f-for long."

"Ahh!" Zaikai let go of my chin and flopped back on the bed in exasperation. "Just send them up I don't want him destroying the entry way."

"Right away sir," his servant said a bit to excitingly.

I stood up, crossing my arms over my chest. "Lucas and Raul?" I questioned.

"Yeah," he clenched his nose between his fingers, "Long time friends, or well I'm allies with Lucas's coven and Raul's court."

"Oh.." I nodded my head. Just a little disappointed from the interruption.

I heard the stomping of the stairs and then the door was flung open and a small person came bounding in, followed by someone about as tall as Zaikai.

The guy with the crazy black hair and odd lavender eyes ran over and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Oh I'm so happy to finally meet you! You're so pretty and tall with those huge green eyes! I'm Zaikai's friend Lucious but just call me Lucas!" Then he started kissing all over my face.

"Lucas stop scaring him away darling." The tall man said I was assuming to be Raul.

"Oh shut up," Lucas glared at him. "We are going to be great friends and go shopping! Oh Zaikai please let's take Icarus on a shopping spree!"

Both Raul and Zaikai groaned. I don't know what they were groaning about
A shopping spree sounds fun.

"No Lucas I have some work to do,"Zaikai said sternly.

Before Lucas could shoot back, I shyly spoke up.

"I would like to go shopping..."

And so we went.
