Noel and Aaron's Side 🌙
After reaching the abandoned house, Noel stood outside for a moment.
Something about the place made her uneasy.
Noel (thinking): (That same strange feeling again...) 😶
She took a deep breath and slowly walked inside.
Surprisingly, one of the rooms was clean enough to sleep in.
Noel looked around.
Then—
THUD!
She collapsed onto the floor.
Noel: "Ah..."
"I'm sleeping..." 😌
Aaron stared at her in disbelief.
Aaron: "What the..."
"So fast?!" 😶
He looked at Noel, who was already getting comfortable on the floor.
Aaron: "Unbelievable." 😑
He sighed and began checking the room.
Aaron (thinking): (Looks like this night is going to be very long.)
(I can't do anything with her like this.) 😑
While searching, he noticed an old cupboard in the corner.
He opened it and discovered several old but surprisingly clean blankets.
Aaron took two.
He spread one over Noel and placed the other on the floor for himself.
Noel: "Thanks..." 😁
Aaron paused.
Aaron: "You're still awake?!"
Noel: "Barely..." 😴
Within seconds, she closed her eyes again.
Aaron: "..."
(How does she do that?) 😑
He sat beside her, leaving a little distance between them.
Outside, the clouds slowly cleared, revealing the beautiful full moon. 🌕
Noel opened her eyes slightly.
Noel: "Is this a full moon?" 😎
Aaron turned towards the window.
Aaron: "Yeah." 😊
Noel stared at the moon quietly.
Noel: "After so many years..."
"I'm seeing it again." 🤧
Aaron looked at her curiously.
Aaron: "Why?" 🧐
Noel smiled faintly.
Noel: "Usually, my life was just..."
"Sleeping, working."
"Then sleeping again and working again."
"It felt like a never-ending cycle."
She paused, gazing at the moon.
Noel: "But now..."
"I finally got a break!" 😍
Aaron watched her silently.
For a moment, his expression softened.
Aaron: "You should take care of yourself too, idiot." 🥰
Noel blinked.
Then she smiled at him.
Noel: "Anyway..."
"Good night!" 😁
She turned away and closed her eyes.
Within minutes, she was fast asleep.
Noel (thinking): (Man... he's really handsome.) 😍
(Those eyes... that face...)
(STOP IT, NOEL! GO TO SLEEP!) 😳
Unfortunately, sleep won the battle before she could continue her thoughts.
Aaron looked at her back.
A faint disappointment crossed his face.
Aaron (thinking): (Can't you notice me, Noel?)
(You don't even look at me that way.)
His gaze lowered.
(Maybe... you really like Adam.) 😞
(No wonder you're always hanging around him.)
Aaron turned towards the moon.
Aaron (thinking): "You're beautiful, my dear moon."
He paused.
Aaron: "But..."
"Isn't the full moon special to certain secondary genders?"
"What was it again...?" 🧐
He stared at the moon, trying to remember.
Then—
Something changed.
The room became unnaturally quiet.
Aaron suddenly felt a strange sensation spreading through his body.
His limbs grew numb.
He tried to move, but his body refused to respond.
Aaron: "..." 😶
His eyes widened as he slowly looked down.
Someone was above him.
Noel.
Her eyes glowed an unnatural, brilliant red. 👁️
An overwhelming wave of pheromones filled the room.
Aaron's breathing caught.
His instincts screamed at him that something extraordinary had awakened.
Aaron (thinking): (Impossible...)
He stared into Noel's glowing eyes.
Aaron: "Is this..." 😱
To be continued...
