A Thousand Stories: Choice

The figure sat pensively on the outside of his bed. His eyes stared. Bringing up memories of the side of the valley he saw. While the dark-eyed shadow swirled erratically on the entire part of his room.

"They're not together yet, are they?! They are different, aren't they!!" muttered that figure.

He was Rein who felt fear for the desire he had. Imagine Eren will be part of the valley side with the figure of someone he did not know himself. The person he saved 3 years ago. A person who is a friend who always gets more attention from him. The figure that always makes him feel rivaled every second in his life that is fulfilled. Since when did that feeling appear in his mind, only Rein had the answer.

While the dark-eyed shadow was bursting and breaking itself. Taking a human-shaped form and seeing Rein's face fixed.

"There's no harm in wanting what we should be doing, right?" the voice sounded soft. "It shouldn't just be his own!!"

"Yes!" answer Rein. "He's a different creature to me and Eren. Eren shouldn't have liked creatures like that. I won't let it!" snarl.

"He's already gotten too much." added the voice subtly. "He's back as the guardian of the valley, indeed he shouldn't have anything else as his destiny!"

Rein looked up at the dark-eyed soul before him. He looked at his reflection in the mirror. Making sure that it was not this face that managed to grab Eren's attention, but the face of a figure he knew as a friend before. A friend who always makes him feel like he's a rival.

"If Eren likes that face, it doesn't matter to me if I have to appear as Baras so that Eren doesn't fall into his arms, doesn't it!"

"You want it? Shake my hand and you'll get it??"

The dark shadow of a human being stretched out a shadow of his hand that was as dark as that body. And just by Rein returning that handshake, his figure had fused together with Rein's body. Enveloping a soul that is filled with such a great desire for something that is not necessarily his destiny. Changing back the figure into a short-haired Laras figure who is always more in the attention of everyone including Eren than his own figure.

That is when man sees only something from his own side. Seeing that other people are much better when he has many other things that are just as good as those around him.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Touching his face slowly. Staring amazed at that face when imagining himself would be more noticed by Eren when that face belonged to him.

Now all of that has happened again. Where he again shook the hand of the dark-eyed soul figure before him. Whatever he had just passed on the side of the valley did not make him to undo his intention of forging a soul covenant with a dark-eyed shadow. Because if by making a pact with a dark-eyed shadow, he can be close to a young man named Eren, it does not matter to him if the soul is finally consumed by the darkness that is with him.

"When you shake my hand, you have given your whole soul to me." the reflection in the mirror whispered the sentence and then yawned when another figure had just entered that part of the house cautiously.

The figure of Rein with a face resembling Laras walked slowly towards the stairs. He looked at all the places he could look at with his eyes. He looked towards the living room, then looked up and looked at the kitchen section. But he found no one but a puff of black smoke that slowly evaporated into the air.

Those eyes glinted black. Making the dark shadow figure in the body take over.

"You coming?!" greet her with a slightly surprised face.

The shadow of the smoke returned. Showing his form as the usual Eren.

"Where did you disappear to?"

Eren immediately asked regardless of the gaze of the girl who was now standing at the bottom of the stairs exactly a few meters before him.

"Are you looking for me?"

the question came out of the soul of Rein who was pleased with the appearance of Eren in his home. The person he wanted to have for now. He wanted nothing more than to be with the young man. The young man who brought his own destiny with his attachment to the side of the dark valley of the gray valley he had visited earlier.

"Of course I'm looking for you" he replied. "I'm worried about your whereabouts."

He approached the girl and patted her head gently.

"Thank God you came back safe!" Eren smiled with relief and brought the girl into his arms.

Such a stifling sight again had to be witnessed by the real figure of Laras. The barrel with long, fringed hair that dresses in knee-length black and eyeballs is golden blue. His eyes stared purely into the room. Where in the room there is a view where Eren is carrying Rein into his arms. He gripped the girl with worry.

"Why is the heart so easy to move!" he murmured from across the room.

He turned his body. Ignoring everything he had seen, but the move came to a halt in his umpteenth step. He bowed then took the golden feather that had fallen on the courtyard of the house.

The release of one golden feather for the winged guard figure was a sign that his soul had been shaken. There was a desire he had to ignore in order to remain able to maintain the balance of his soul in guarding the valley. One golden feather with a pink glint that indicates that the owner has ignored his feelings for the love he has.

"Are you in love with him and hurt by what you see?" Barrel looked up at the sky and a moment after, the figure disappeared.

And inside the house, the crib was instantly countered by the girl. Hugged the young man tightly with a very happy feeling. A sense of pleasure spread throughout his body. Making the feeling he had for the young man grow bigger and bigger. Especially when he took the initiative to give a kiss to the young man, but Eren felt something strange right when the figure of Laras across the room had disappeared somewhere.

He looked at Laras who was now closing his eyes and ready to receive a kiss from him. Although the face shows the face of Laras who had been in love with the girl since when, but now there are things that make her feel that something wrong has happened.

Eren caught Laras's forehead in front of him. Showing a smile with the behavior of the girl who is not as usual. Making the girl open her eyes and stare in annoyance like a spoiled little boy who did not receive the reply he got.

"What the fuck!" ketus. The thing he dreamed of vanished just because of the unusual actions Eren had done to him.

"You're too excited!" he said then took a step back. "May I have a drink?"

"Take it yourself! You've ruined my mood!" answer again. The barrel gradually sat on the sofa by hugging the pillow that was nearby. He showed an unusual manyun face. Then throw away the look when Eren sees it back.

Eren then walked leisurely towards the kitchen. Pour water into the glass and see its own shadow into the reflection of the water inside. Those eyes glow red. And from his body appeared a bluish-colored flame that immediately infiltrated back into his body once the water was spilled from inside the glass that he poured water.

"Why didn't I realize it in the first place!" murmured Eren after evaporating the water that fell to the floor and wet the table in front of him.

Passed.
