Midnight X Aizawa Novels & Stories

--- That evening, as the sun dipped low and the sky was soaked in the dusty orange of late August, Timtim emerged in her floral housewear kurta, ready to pick her bougainvillea blooms and trim her spider plant — who had been traumatized by aerial hanging, thank you very much. Her silver anklets jingled gently with every step. She didn’t realize he was already there. Leaning against the balcony railing, arms folded, wearing a plain charcoal grey t-shirt and loose lounge pants, Aariz looked less mafia villain and more casually dangerous — like someone who could break a man or fix a fan, depending on his mood. She looked up, eyes narrowing. “You again.” “Your spider plant sends its regards,” he

“You have the guts, woman, to defy me.” “Why don’t you just befriend Ming and become an animal lover? He’s not so different from your pet lion, you know,” Aza said, walking towards Raizen when she suddenly tripped, causing her to drop the cat, which jumped away from her. Aza thought she would fall straight to the floor, but she bumped into something, causing her to fall with it, landing on top of it. She opened her eyes and gasped in shock when she saw Raizen, on whom she had landed, his eyes wide with surprise. Onyx, Tomi, and Zild all jumped from their seats when they saw the two sprawled on the floor, Aza on top of Raizen, their lips touching, as they stared at each other.

"For now, you'll become human once the sun sets, and will return to being a shadow when the sun rises. And if the girl will not love you back, your life is mine. You will fade into the light." Aestraeus saw perspiration glide down his smooth forehead and the bobbing of his Adam's apple. Cole is contemplating. "What do you think of the deal, Cole?" He looked at him directly and without delay, said yes. "Remember, only when the sun sets you are a human. And when the sun rises, you will go back to being her shadow." Cole nodded. *** "How dare you!" a stinging slap landed on Kara's face. The slap almost pushed her on her knees.

I knocked before I could talk myself out of it. It took a long time for the door to open. When it did, Sophia stood there in the doorway, wrapped in a cardigan that wasn't hers, hair still damp like she'd only just stopped crying, and the sight of her—guarded, exhausted, looking at me like I was something to be managed rather than someone she'd once loved—broke something loose in me that I hadn't given myself permission to feel until right then. "Ethan." Her voice was flat. "It's past midnight."

DIEGO The heavy silence of the Alvarez Residence usually feels like a fortress, but tonight, it’s a cage. It is well past midnight. Sleep should have claimed me hours ago, especially with a morning skate on the horizon, but instead, I’m paralyzed, anchored by the rhythmic, soft breathing of Kol beside me. I’m staring at him, tracing the way his mouth settles into a slight, stubborn pout even in rest. He looks remarkably peaceful—untouched by the jagged edges of the world I inhabit. He looks vulnerable.

“The note says alone. If it’s a trap, I need to know.” Kael stepped in front of her. “Then we go together. And if it’s a trap, we spring it.” Aria met his gaze. The mate bond pulsed between them, steady and sure. “Midnight,” she said. “Old shrine.” Kael nodded. Whatever waited there, they’d face it together. ----------------

*Third POV* “See I will tell you everything about the basement and other stuff as we have a lot to talk about. First, why not he have our breakfast. I dont want it to end with the quarrel and you once again avoid eating” Takeshi smiles placing his hand upon Koishi’s only made him take his hand back the next second. “Okay” Koishi smiles as he avoids looking at Takeshi not noticing the sudden change of expression over his face. “Let's get started with it” Takeshi smiles looking down at his plate as Koishi first takes the cup of coffee recognizing his own cup which has his favourite anime character Gojo Saturo from Jujutsu Kaisen upon it.

My eyes meet hers, before Shawn's, who is looking at me with that, ‘you've been caught’ stare. I break eye contact immediately, then look at Ophelia, who is looking between Shawn and I. Our both gaze collides, and she continues. “When Hati made his bargain with the Moon, he promised her to take from his lineage, whomever she prefers as a peace pact. After years of many generations, the moon chose Shawn, hence his silver eyes as opposed to ours. She blesses him with silver immunity, so that it does not burn him. And when he turned you, Eva, the pact stretched. You are blood of his blood now, in the Moon’s eyes. She cannot deny you the smallest mercy, because denying you would break the pact.”
