"Tell me what I want and I'll let you go," she whispered with seduction. When he didn't utter a word, her heels grew deeper down his skin. His agonizing scream echoed in the dark big room with only a few people inside, not willing to interrupt the woman.
"S-stop, stop!" He breathed heavily, but she did not stop.
"A masquerade ball!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Her eyebrows arched and her eyes squinted. She moved her foot away as he gasped for air. Her heel was crushing his skull and he couldn't bear the pain anymore.
"Give me the details," she commanded.
Tears mixed with sweat rolled down his cheeks as he slowly gulped. "A masquerade ball will be held t-tomorrow. H-he-- The M-mafia boss will be t-there," he explained as she slowly lifted her head to look at someone from afar.
"Take care of this matter, Blood Moon," the person uttered and the woman nodded with a slight smile.
After the matter was finished, she returned to her room and watched herself in the mirror as the blood of the man was splattered across her clothes. Most importantly, her red shoes. She took them off and started polishing and removing the blood.
Her watch lit up, brightening the room she was in. She looked over with a blank face and saw the notification for her new mission. Kill the mafia boss and she's free to leave the life of an assassin. She's supposed to be happy, but after being through so much, she just can't provide proper emotions.
"One last kill..." What she didn't know was this would be a rollercoaster to hell.
SOFT music began as agent Blood Moon got ready for the night she will commit her last kill. Putting on an eye-catching leather cherry red dress that hugs her figure and black heels that makes her four inches taller. A masquerade ball, she remembers. A mask should be worn.
Blood Moon grabbed a black fox mask that covers her eyes and nose, and only her red lips are visible. She walked outside the room and met her idiotic partner in crime. "Hello, Shadow," she greeted with a bit of hesitance.
"Looking great, Keisha," he greeted with a playful flirt and she closed her eyes in frustration. "Do not-- Do not call me by my name," she irritatedly commanded.
"I didn't know you were coming with me," she murmured with gritted teeth. Guessing from the way he dressed, she concluded that he'll be accompanying her.
"A mischief such as you needs a partner for this act. After all, this will be your last mission. The mafia boss will take his last breath tonight," he cunningly mentioned with a wink. Such eyes to die for. Shadow resorted to being an assassin after his sister was slaughtered years ago.
"You better not get in my way," she warned with a stern look, making him chuckle. He nodded his head like an obedient puppy before offering his arm. "Shall we?" He waited for her to wrap her hand around his but she walked past him.
He chuckled lightly before holding his heart. Keisha, also known as Blood Moon, has always been like this to him, but he dared not care.
Upon arriving at the venue, Keisha stood outside the car with her arms crossed, looking at the mansion. "Pardon me." She looked behind and saw a man towering over her wearing a black suit, and a red mask covering his eyes and nose with hideous colored pink hair. She furrowed her eyebrows and so did he.
He's familiar, but she can't figure out from where.
"Excuse me?" he asked. She came back to her senses and moved out of the way. She was in between two cars, blocking the way. The man didn't waste any more of his time and continued walking as men followed behind.
"Do you know who that is?" she asked, turning to Shadow who just came out of the car. He shook his head but warned, "Careful with people at this party. They might be more powerful than we can handle. Let's do this job discreetly."
"Settle down, everyone," the master of ceremonies announced. Keisha and Shadow were led to the table they were assigned to.
Eyes were on Keisha as everyone was wearing black and white clothes, yet she was wearing red. "This is why you should read instructions," Shadow whispered lightly. Apparently, the party was exclusively in black and white.
Her body's beauty was exaggerated, and none dared to question why she was wearing red. The mask on her face hides her disgust from the people's stares. Before sitting down, she spots the man who bumped into her across from them. He was staring at her intensely. Once she noticed, he gave a small smirk, raising a glass of wine to her.
To his surprise, she ignored him. Keisha sat down, her back facing the man. She heard laughing at the back but she completely ignored their presence.
An hour into the party, Keisha was staring mindlessly at the food in front of her while Shadow was eating his. "The last time I ate food from a mission, I nearly died from poison," she uttered while eyeing the food.
It looked delicious, and the jealousy of seeing her partner eat makes her want it even more. She grabbed a fork and scooped some food. She was about to eat it but the lights shut down. "Fuck," she whispered under her breath. This was their cue.
Really? When she was about to eat, they had to do the mission?
She looked beside her and Shadow was already gone. She stood up from her seat and they had five minutes to execute this plan. She scanned the entire room despite it being almost pitch black and spotted their target.
She sprinted forward but her heels tripped on something on the ground. Cursing the gods inside her mind, she braced herself for impact. She inhaled sharply but then-- "Careful," a man uttered quietly yet sweetly. He caught her hand before pulling her to his body.
She faced him before landing on his chest. Her heart started beating fast and the lights opened. Her mouth slightly opened, looking behind, and saw Shadow sign something. He wasn't able to do it on time.
She closed her eyes with annoyance. "How about a dance?" she blurted out with a forced smile. She looked up and met him face to face. "A simple thank you would have sufficed but alright. I'll take you up on that offer," he uttered smugly with a glint of amusement in his voice.
"How about a dance, everyone?" She announced and the man in front of her nodded. Couples stood up from their seats.
She gulped before leading him to the middle of the dance floor. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. With a blink of an eye, the room dimmed and music started playing. Keisha started questioning what this man's authority is. He just helped them execute their kill.
His hand wrapped around her waist and electricity went down her spine. She looked away before wrapping her hands around his neck. She breathed heavily while dancing and watching Shadow from a distance.
"May I know the name of the beautiful lady in front of me?" She softly smiled, still focused on Shadow. "Uh... I don't really know you," she murmured. Her eyes lit up when she saw Shadow pouring the poison into the drink.
"Really?" he asked with a smirk and amusement. They continued dancing, waiting for the target to drink his tea. When he lifted his glass, she was filled with anticipation. The man she was with leaned down and whispered to her ears, "My eyes are up here. Focus on the man you're dancing with. Not elsewhere."
He grabbed her chin and faced her towards him. She felt her breath stop, watching him smirk and his eyes looking through hers. "Since you're in this event, I would've assumed you knew who I was," he uttered with raised eyebrows. Her eyes fidgeted between him and her target before laughing nervously.
"I-- w-who are you?" she asked before gulping, waiting for the target to fall to the ground. He chuckled lightly, keeping his gaze on hers. He raised his right hand and removed the masquerade mask he was wearing. "The mafia boss who's hosting this event," he introduced.
Her eyes shifted back to him, having a clear view of his face despite being in a dimmed room. He had bright blue eyes, a defined nose and jawline, arched brows, and seducing pink lips. "S-say that again?" Keisha was flabbergasted.
"Eros Galaz," he revealed his name. Her jaw dropped at the same time as their supposed target dropped to the ground. The lights lit back up and his smile grew wider. "Now may I know your name?" Before she could answer, a woman screamed bloody murder.
She looked behind Eros and saw their target struggling to live before completely stopping moving on the floor. Shadow joyed, still unaware of the truth. Eros, the mafia boss, turned around to see his right-hand man dead.
Keisha with her hands still wrapped around his neck, and his hand wrapped around her waist, was in shock. Her bright blue-green eyes with no emotion suddenly filled with every emotion she can think of.
She just danced with the mafia boss they were supposed to kill. "We took down the wrong man..." she murmured under her breath, staring at Eros who was holding her waist tightly.
「うっ……ぐすっ……」「ちくしょう……綺麗っすよ、先輩……」 え? 泣いてる? あの常に冷静沈着な奏くんが、眼鏡を外して目尻を拭っている。 陽翔くんに至っては、ボロボロと大粒の涙を流して、子供のように鼻をすすっている。(……感動してくれてるんだ。嬉しいな) そう思った瞬間だった。 私の脳内で、長らく休眠状態にあった『腐女子フィルター』が、カチリと音を立てて誤作動を起こした。 世界が、歪む。 待って。 あの涙の意味は、本当に純粋な「祝福」だけなのだろうか? 奏くんが、輝くんを見る目。 どこか悔しげで、それでいて相手の実力を認めざるを得ないといった、複雑で熱っぽい感情が入り混じった眼差し。 陽翔くんが、輝くんを見る目。「先を越された」という男としての敗北感と、それでも「あいつなら任せられる」という友情、そして断ち切れない切なさが同居した濡れた瞳。 そして、輝くんが二人に向けて送った、勝ち誇ったような、けれど揺るぎない信頼に満ちたアイコンタクト。(……はッ!!) 脳天に電撃が走った。 もしかして。 もしかして、あの涙は。 私との別れを惜しんでいるんじゃなくて。 輝くんを、「奪われた」ことへの涙……!?『俺の輝を、幸せにしろよ……月詠』『輝先輩……俺の分まで、輝いてくださいね……!』 そんなセリフが、私の脳内で勝手にアテレコされていく。(そ、そうだったのね……! やっぱりこの世界線は、『輝総受け』もしくは『ライバル×輝』のトゥルーエンドだったの!? 私は……私はただの、彼らの禁断の愛を社会的にカモフラージュするための『ト
父の手から輝くんの手へ、私の手が託される。 触れた輝くんの手は、大きくて、温かくて、そして少しだけ震えていた。「……待ってたよ、栞」 彼が誰にも聞こえないほどの小声で囁く。 その声の響きに導かれるように、私は彼の隣に並んだ。 牧師様の言葉が続き、私たちは誓いの言葉を交わす。 指輪の交換。 私の左手の薬指に、ひやりとした金属の感触と共に、永遠の約束が滑り込んでくる。 そして。「それでは、誓いのキスを」 牧師様の言葉を合図に、輝くんがそっとベールを上げる。 隔てるものがなくなり、至近距離で見つめ合う。 彼の瞳の中に、緊張で強張った私の顔が映っている。「……愛してる」 唇が触れ合う直前、彼が音のない言葉でそう言ったのが分かった。 私も、心の中で答える。 私も、愛してる。世界で一番。 チュッ、と柔らかい音がして、唇が離れる。 その瞬間、会場中から割れんばかりの拍手が巻き起こった。 私たちは皆の方へと向き直る。 色とりどりの花びらが舞うフラワーシャワーの中、たくさんの笑顔が私たちに向けられていた。 最前列には、見慣れた、そして大好きな顔ぶれが揃っている。 まずは、氷室奏くん。 彼は今、売れっ子のゲームシナリオライターとして第一線で活躍している。私と同じ会社に所属し、時には喧嘩し、時には背中を預け合いながら、一緒にゲームを作り上げている戦友だ。 今日の彼は、隙のない礼服姿で、眼鏡の奥の瞳を和やかに細めてこちらを見ていた。その表情はどこまでも穏やかで、まるで手のかかる弟と妹の晴れ姿を見守る兄のようだ。 その隣には、七瀬陽翔くん。 彼は大学卒業後、厳しい修行期間を経て、念願だった自分のカフェをオープンさせた。今では雑誌やSNSに取り上げられるほどの人気店のオーナーだ。 相変わらずの人懐っこい笑顔で、大きく手を振ってくれている。「先輩、おめでとう!」という口の動きが見えた。 そ
そして今日、私たちは誓いを立てる。 多くの人に見守られ、祝福されながら、これからの人生を共に歩んでいく約束を。 コンコン、と厚い扉越しに控えめなノックの音が響いた。「失礼いたします。……新婦様、そろそろお時間です」 式場スタッフのよく通る声に、心臓が跳ね上がる。 いよいよだ。「よし。行ってきなさい、栞」 乃亜が私の背中をバン、と景気よく叩いた。 少し痛いくらいのその衝撃に、竦みかけていた足に力が戻る。私は肺いっぱいに空気を吸い込み、深く吐き出した。「うん。……行ってきます!」 ずしりと重いドレスの裾を爪先で蹴り上げ、私は控室の扉を押し開けた。 ◇ チャペルの大きな扉の前。 父の腕に手を添えながら、私は震えそうになる膝を必死に叱咤していた。 この扉の向こうには、たくさんのゲストたちが待っている。 大学時代の友人たち、会社の同僚、輝くんの仕事関係の方々。 そして何より、私たちがここに辿り着くまでの道のりを、時に厳しく、時に温かく見守ってくれた、かけがえのない仲間たち。「栞。……綺麗だぞ」 隣で父が、少し湿っぽい声で囁く。 普段は無口で不器用な父の、絞り出すような言葉。危うく涙腺が緩みそうになり、私はぐっと奥歯を噛み締めて堪えた。 今泣いたら、時間をかけて作ってもらったメイクが台無しになってしまう。輝くんに、一番綺麗な私を見てもらいたいから。 厳かなパイプオルガンの音色が、高い天井に響き渡る。 重厚な扉が、ゆっくりと左右に開かれていく。 溢れ出すまばゆい光。 そして、視界いっぱいに飛び込んでくる、祝福の拍手と温かな笑顔の海。 まっすぐに伸びるバージンロードの先、祭壇の前で待っているのは、白のタキシードに身を包んだ私の最愛の人。 天王寺輝。 彼と目が合った瞬間、周りの景色からふっと色が抜け落ちたような気がした。 彼だけが、鮮やかに、圧倒的な存在感
あれから、いくつもの季節が巡った。 窓の外には、目に痛いほどの新緑が広がっている。初夏の陽気を含んだ風が、木々の葉を揺らす音が聞こえてくるようだ。 雲ひとつない突き抜けるような青空の下。 私は今、人生で一番高いヒールの上に危なっかしく立ち、人生で一番重たい布の塊に全身を包まれて、人生で一番強張った顔で鏡と睨めっこをしていた。「……うぅ、苦しい。ねえ乃亜、これちょっとコルセット締めすぎじゃない?」「何言ってんの。一生に一度の晴れ舞台でしょ? 内臓の位置なんて気にしてる場合じゃないって」 私の背後で、親友の神崎乃亜がテキパキとドレスの裾をさばいている。 今日の彼女はブライズメイドとして、淡いレモンイエローのドレスを身に纏っていた。相変わらずの切れ長で美しい瞳と、凛とした立ち振る舞い。主役の私の方が霞んでしまいそうなほどの美人っぷりだ。「ほら、できた。……うん、悪くない」 乃亜が満足げに頷き、私の背中を鏡の方へとぐいと押した。 そこに映っていたのは、純白のウェディングドレスに身を包んだ、見知らぬ誰かのような自分の姿。 繊細なレースが鎖骨のラインを縁取るオフショルダー。ふわりと空気を含んで広がるAラインのスカートには、無数の小花が散りばめられ、動くたびにさざ波のように揺れる。プロの手によって丁寧に編み込まれた髪の上には、照明を受けてキラキラと瞬くティアラが鎮座していた。「……私、本当にお嫁に行くんだね」 鏡の中の自分と目を合わせ、ぽつりと漏らす。 なんだか、足元がふわふわとして実感が湧かない。まるで、スクリーンの向こう側で繰り広げられる物語を、客席から眺めているような不思議な浮遊感がある。「何寝ぼけたこと言ってんのよ。ここまで来て夢オチでしたなんて言ったら、私が許さないからね」 乃亜が呆れたように笑い、私の肩にぽんと手を置いた。 その掌から伝わる確かな体温と重みに、ようやく少しだけ、ここが現実なのだという感覚が戻ってくる。 そう。今日は、私の結婚式だ。 あの日
「……誰目線なんだよ」 輝くんが脱力したように突っ込む。 けれど、その表情には怒りよりも、照れくささと、そして隠しきれない安堵が混ざっていた。「……へえ。合格点いただきましたか」 輝くんは私の肩を抱き寄せ、勝ち誇ったように三人を見回した。「聞いたろ? 栞は俺を選んでくれたんだ……これでもう、文句はないな?」 その高らかな宣言に、陽翔くんと奏くんの顔つきが変わった。 ただの野次馬ではない、真剣な男の顔。「&hel
翌朝。 目が覚めると、輝くんはまだ隣で眠っていた。 昨夜の情熱的な彼とは打って変わって、子供のように無防備な寝顔だ。 その頬をつんと指でつつくと、「ん……」と唸って、私を抱き枕のように腕の中に引き寄せた。(……重いけど、幸せ) 時計を見ると、いつもより少し遅い時間だ。 今日は日曜日。二人とも、久しぶりの完全オフだ。「……ん、おはよ」 しばらくして、輝くんがもぞもぞと起き出した。 寝癖がついた髪が可
「あいつが戦っているのは、自分のためじゃない。……君のためだ」「……私の?」「君という帰る場所があるから、あいつは強くなれる。君が隣にいるから、無謀な挑戦もできるんだ。……あいつにとって、君は『足手まとい』なんかじゃない。最強の『武器』なんだよ」 彼の言葉が、冷え切った心にじんわりと染み込んでいく。 そうだろうか。 私なんかが、輝くんの力になれているのだろうか。「それに……」 奏くんの手が、私の
店内は暖房が効いていて、焙煎されたコーヒーの芳醇な香りが漂っていた。 私たちは窓際の席に向かい合って座った。テーブルの上には、さっき取ってもらった白い猫のぬいぐるみがちょこんと座っている。「……ありがとう、奏くん。気を使わせちゃったね」 湯気の立つココアを一口飲み、私は正直に礼を言った。甘い液体が食道を下りていき、強張っていた胃を内側から温めてくれる。 奏くんはブラックコーヒーを口にし、カップをソーサーに戻した。カチャン、と陶器が触れ合う澄んだ音がする。「礼には及ばない。…&helli
