    Summary

    Vanitas always takes a second too long to respond to his own name.

    -

    Then, like some kind of angel, Vanitas appeared. With the reckless abandon of a man possessed, Vanitas charged.

    To the untrained eye, it was an act of unstinting heroism. The life of one to save the many.

    Vanitas, in that moment, was not just a name; he was a symbol of selflessness.

    But Noé saw it for what is truly was.

    A suicide.

     

    -

    Or, 8k+ words of non-linear, rambling storytelling where Noé and Vanitas go to find a curse-bearer, get drunk, share a bed, confess their feelings, get hurt, and kiss. Not in that order.

    Summary

    Vanitas and Noé go to another masquerade ball that is almost certainly a trap.

    "It'll be fine. Besides, you'll be there. You wouldn’t let anything happen to me, would you?” 

    Noé straightens up and feels the conviction flare in his bones like embers. “Never.” 

    Vanitas smiles and the predatory self-satisfaction in it makes something hot curl in Noé’s stomach. 

    “There, see? No need to worry.”

    Summary

    Maybe it was after their literal fall from the sky, when Noé surprised him by showing his stubborn nature and defying expectations? Maybe it was during the Bal Masqué, when the vampire asked him, in all seriousness, what on Earth is love? Or maybe in Doctor Moreau’s lab, where all of his trauma came back, and yet Noé was there, giving him hope that they can manage, as long as they’re together. Maybe when he said he believed in him, when he stated he disliked him while affection oozed out of his mouth, or maybe, more recently, when he refused to let go, even though Vanitas has given him all the reason to…

    It might as well have been a compilation of all of those little things, combined with Noé’s charm, on which Vanitas was pondering way too often. His own heart betrayed him, speeding up at the mere thought of the other’s infectious grin; it was simple – he cared for Noé Archiviste… cared enough to maybe…

    To maybe call it love.

    Vanitas has way too many thoughts late at night.

    Summary

    Noè has disappeared. It might be due to the fight he and Vanitas had in the dormitory, but the circumstances behind his sudden absence are way too suspicious to be simply ignored by Vanitas - especially after Dominique’s obvious lies. 

    The entire city of Paris is slowly spiraling into madness. Who killed those young women so brutally? Who is behind the increasing number of curse-bearers? And more importantly, where is Noè?
