The sound of the music.
The downtown is as crowded as usual. A market that placed beside it is surrounded by people. They’re going to find their favourite things, things they can buy with the amount of money they have.
Meanwhile, the sellers are showing off the products they sell. The antique and sparkling furnitures are in the line nearest with the downtown, making it the most surrounded place there.
People are chatting, greeting each other, spending their evening in the downtown. Becoming a socialite by showing themselves to others.
In the middle of the crowd, a statue is standing there, holding a bow and arrow. With the gurgling water in the round pool under it, it’s watching the surrounding. As if it is ready to shoot its arrow to everyone there.
Cupid.
That’s a cupid statue. A famous creature which the story has been knows by everyone. The named which has been called many times by the people who are growing up. When the cupid will shoot its arrow to them? When the cupid will make them fall in love to someone? When the cupid will unite them with their destinied person?
That creature is admired, although some people believe that it’s just one of the creature in myth. That it’s there just as the love symbol of the city.
Moreover, who could believe it? A God shoot a love arrow for you and your destinied person? It means you can’t choose who you want to love, isn’t it?
“Love is lust, lust is love. How do you know the difference~“ someone is standing in front of the pool, singing his own original song with the melody of music that sometimes sounds discordant.
People are surrounding him, an instrument which look like guitar accompanies him singing that song.
“Love isn’t lust. Lust isn’t love. How do you know the difference~” He continues his song as people are coming to him to give him money in the hat that put not far from him.
From that peaceful city, this story appeared. A story which will be a rumour for everyone everyday. A story which also be forgotten by their children. Considered to be gone and mystical.
~
A sigh. A tall guy is walking to a bed where the sleeping beauty is trapped there. He is sitting beside the princess, smiling and caressing his hair.
“Ryosuke” he called. No answer, the sleeping beauty-or should we call him a sleeping prince since he’s a guy- is still sleeping peacefully. Making a sign escape the guy’s mouth. “Ryosuke. Daddy called you”
Ryosuke groans. His eyes slowly open then glance to someone who dare enough to disturb his sleep. When he knows that’s his own brother, he goes back to sleep. Not wanting to go.
“Come on~” Yuto sighed. Ryosuke squims, changing his sleep position. Trying to ignore his brother’s whine for the nth time. “You’re not going to go?”
“…” “I have said I don’t wanna any arranged marriage, haven’t I?” he mumbled.
Silence for a moment.
Yuto’s palm is caressing his older brother’s hair. He’s not planning to say anything. Not planning to force Ryosuke nor carrying him from the bed. Because he knows…
“Fine I’m awake~” Ryosuke complained. He slaps Yuto’s hand and sit with a pouty face. Yuto chuckles seeing him like that.
Because he knows, his brother who is older a year than him can’t refuse him.
If you said older brother, Yuto don’t really wanna accept it. Because when they’re standing beside each other like this, Yuto is way taller than Ryosuke. Making him looks older than Ryosuke. Although the reality is he is indeed more mature than his brother who likes to be spoiled and lazy.
If there’s one personality that makes them as siblings… maybe, their stubbornness which make anyone annoyed.
“Stop staring at me” complained Ryosuke. That makes Yuto smiles instead.
“That’s your fault because you’re so pretty”
“Stop saying that”
“But you’re pretty indeed” Yuto said, still holding a smile on his face when Ryosuke puffs his cheeks, annoyed. The chubby guy looks cuter now.
A statement that he’s pretty isn’t the first time for him to hear. Not only Yuto, all people said he’s so pretty and cute. If there’s a person who don’t like to be called pretty or cute, that’s him.
He’s just… bored? Annoyed?
Being pretty isn’t a luck for him. Like many people admire him, many people hate him as well. Like many people who try to propose him like now, many people try to hurt him as well. That’s too complicated and the lazy Ryosuke starts to fed up with his beauty.
But come on, it’s not like he hates it. Of course he’s happy having a pretty face. But it’s like… he doesn’t need to be pretty for everyone, right?
“Ryosuke” Yuto called him before the maids opening the door for the chubby guy. The door which Ryosuke will meet his dad and someone who comes to propose hij behind it.
“Hmm…” Ryosuke hummed., He glances at Yuto with a still pouty face.
Chu! Yuto pecks Ryosuke’s lips.
“Everything’s gonna be okay” Yuto said while putting his hands on Ryosuke’s back, rubbing it slowly and giving him a calm sensation which Ryosuke never understand. Finally, the door in front of Ryosuke opens. Yuto pushes him slowly, brings Ryosuke a step forward then let his brother enters the room. Smile for the last time to him before the door is closed by the maids.
Silence…
That’s not the first time. Of course.
That’s not the first time Ryosuke was proposed by someone. That’s not the first time Yuto stole his brother’s kiss. That’s not the first time Yuto supported him like that.
Because that’s not the first time, both Yuto and Ryosuke know that proposal will be failed. Because Ryosuke doesn’t wanna proposed by anyone, doesn’t wanna be engaged by anyone. But not because he has someone he likes, he just, doesn’t want.
The news that their prince rejected someone again isn’t a shocking news anymore for the people in the city. Everyone always failed, they’re not even sure if their prince will get married someday.
Although they’re not shock, doesn’t mean they stop to talk about that.
At last those talks and whispers will meet the same result. That their prince is so pretty, cute, and charming. That everyone will do anything to get him. That all people hope to be his destiny.
Maybe hundreds of people have ever been standing in the downtown. Standing in the pool while staring at the cupid statue. Not realizing they’re making a wish, to be the lucky person to get Prince Ryosuke. To be the destinied person for him.
But unfortunately, that cupid is just a statue. He can’t even hear them, moreover grant their wishes. Those wishes just crashed him, bounced off, and flew to the sky. Later to be heard by other creatures. Them who linked you to someone who destinied to be with you. Linked you with your destiny.
The Cupids.
~
“He must be a so famous person…” mumbled Daiki. Staring at the sparks that fly far above him, towards the downtown above the clouds.
Takaki Yuya who is laying beside him just mumble shortly as his eyes glance to the sparks, the sparks for the same person. Those sparks are human’s wishes, prays, and hopes for someone who will be their destiny. They’ll gather with the same way and colour if those wishes addressed to the same person. Only cupid who knows how to differentiate them.
“Do you think there’ll be one wish for me there?” said Daiki, looking enthusiastically to Yuya with a bright smile.
Yuya frowns.
“You wanna be destinied with human?”
“I’m just asking” Daiki said.
Yuya stares at him for a second. “Maa… if cupid can make a wish too-“ Yuya stopped for a while, let Daiki looks at him confusedly. Waiting. That brunette guy is staring back at him, before blinking and trying to look away. “I will make a wish for you”
Daiki’s silence for a while. His eyes that meet Yuya’s making something inside him feels like stabbed by something, before the warmth fills his chest.
Yuya loves him. Daiki knew it. He himself doesn’t know how cupid can fall in love. Of course they don’t have arrow to be pierced to themselves, because cupid can’t hope, they don’t fall in love from the hopes that flew to the collector in the downtown.
Daiki slowly smiles. “Hen da yo, omae wa” he chuckled.
“Sukitte dame desuka?”
Daiki seems thinking, “Saa… na…”
A pause.
Yuya just stay quiet, looking at the undescribable smile. A smile that maybe can’t be describe forever.
Sruk! Buk! A sound of something fell interrupted them who are relaxing. Seems like there’s a duty for them. As they saw so many wishes came today, seems like they’ll be busy.
“Both of you are annoying” Hikaru grunted, tried so hard to get up. He’s one of the cupid who work in the downtown, distributing duties from the downtown to the cupids. Unfortunately, he’s not really good with his wings that he often falls if he flies too long. Now some of his reddish white wings fell out, making him annoyed because he just changed his wings colour to be more interesting. Or for another cupid, it’s too conspicuous.
Yuya and Daiki always go to the place they live, it caused Hikaru to has difficulty finding them. Troubling him, and moreover, always put his wings in danger.
Daiki’s the one to get up. The white wings with some orange strips flaps when he stand. Wagging the air around him slowly. Without him realizing, Yuya stunned for a moment because of its beauty. Yuya doesn’t know why Daiki and his wings have his own magic to himself. Of course all the cupid’s wings are beautiful . But for him, Daiki’s the most beautiful.
Yuya gets his sense back after, immediately get up before Hikaru gets mad at him.
“Arioka Daiki” Hikaru calles Daiki’s name, taking some pink envelopes filled with duties for Daiki.
“And… ah, this” he said after searching for an envelope for Takaki. “Takaki Yuya.” He said then gave him a gold envelope to the brunette guy.
“Huh?” Yuya frowns.
Hikaru glances at him, making a face if there’s something weird. He just realized he should explain what the meaning of that gold envelope to Yuya. “Ah, that’s not an usual duty. That’s a call from Beauty Goddess, you can meet her and ask what a cupid like as can do for her” “You know-you’re so lucky to meet her, I have a hundred year but-“
“Why me?!” complained Yuya, cutting Hikaru before he can’t stop talking.
“Ah, that. Because you don’t have any duty today”
“And why I don’t have any duty today…” he complained again. Come one, there are like thousands of wishes came today, it’s impossible if there’s no duty for him. Daiki even get three until four duties today.
“Seems like the prettiest person for J Kingdom just proposed again, and because of that so many wishes for him. You know, we don’t even know how to decide his destiny untul now”
Yuya shows his ‘I don’t care’ face.
“Anyway, that’s your work today Yuya. Don’t complain and do it!” Hikaru uses his rights as a duty giver. His reddish white wings flap, carefully leaving Daiki and Yuya. Yuya sighs heavily.
“The Beauty… Goddess?” Daiki still stare at Hikaru who is flying far from them.
“Hmm… I just know we can get a call from other Gods” said Yuya. But Daiki doesn’t say anything, making him frown. “Doushita?” he asked.
Daiki turns to him, stare at him for a while. “A cupid who called by Beauty Goddess…” he said before smiling. And again, a smile that Yuya can’t describe. “Doesn’t seem weird”
“Eh?”
“Nanimonai. Jyaa na!” he said before flapping his wings and flying away.
~
“Thank you for coming” said the Goddess. That Goddess who has a so beautiful face looked pale and worried. The maids who accompanied her seem worried as well. Some are massaging her like she’s exhausted. Which make Yuya wonders, why the pale and worry in her face aren’t lessen her beauty even a bit.
“Is there something we can do for you, Your Majesty?” Yuya said and bowed.
Inoo Kei, the Beauty Goddess, smile a little.
“A human.” “Could you make a human fall in love to someone I want?” asked Inoo, there’s a force in her face. Yuya doesn’t understand but he nods anyway.
“Of course, Your Majesty” answered Yuya.
“Nakajima Ryosuke. His name is Nakajima Ryosuke, a prince from J Kingdom. He… make him fall to the ugliest person on earth!!!” Yuyan shocked when the Goddess raised her voice. Her face is red because of anger. “He… how dare he-“
“Please calm down, Your Majesty..” said one of her maid. But seems like it has been refused. Because Inoo shouts again.
“Make him fall in love to the ugliet person on earth!” she ordered madly. The Beauty Goddess doesn’t look beautiful at all because of his madness.
“We-we will, Your Majesty. We’ll do it as soon as possible” Takaki bowed and ran to leave that place before the Goddess’ anger can be heard again.
~
Yuya stares at the gold envelope in his hand. That envelope will turn as an arrow when he does his work later. But now he wonders, who he should pair up with that Prince Ryosuke. Usually a cupid like him received a letter which has been decided. Cupid in the downtown who decided the soulmate for human and all their love story to be as good as possible. Now, it’s him who should decide it and pair him. The ugliest person, huh? Should he paired him with a monster in the forest? But there’s no monster anymore now, only the ghosts and impossible for him to pair someone to something like that.
“You haven’t met her?” a voice making Yuya glances, meeting Daiki who flies to him. And again, making him stunned because of his wings.
“The Beauty Goddess?” asked Yuya, Daiki nodded. “I’ve met her. She asked me to do something troublesome. Yuya complained then sighed.
Daiki sits beside him, throwing a smile which make Yuya frowns. He never understand Daiki’s smile. Why it looks calming but hurting at the same time. Like he wanna pull this chubby guy into his arms whenever he sees his smile. He wanna embrace him and kiss-
Yuya paused. Shaking his head and brining his conscious back.
“Beauty Goddess is jealous with a human and ordered you to pair that human to the ugliest person on earth?” asked Daiki. Yuya’s eyes widen hearing that. Daiki chuckles seeing that shocking expression.
“How do you know?” asked Yuya.
With his smile, he said, “I only know.”
Yuya frowns looking at him. Both curious and confuse. But seems like Daiki doesn’t wanna answer his confusion. Letting it go and choosing to look away to another direction.
“So… when will you do that?” asked Daiki.
Yuya gave up to ask for explanation. “I don’t know, maybe later or tomorrow. I don’t even know with whom I should pair him up” said Yuya.
“He’s a really pretty guy who made Beauty Goddess jealous, isn’t he?” “Who’ll be pair up with him is the luckiest person” said Daiki.
“Really? I’m curious how pretty he is” said Yuya. He thought Daiki will say something but there’s no word come out from Daiki’s mouth. When he glances at Daiki, that guy seems to ignore him. But Daiki chooses to look up to the sky above them.
“Sukitte… ii you” Daiki mumbles. That chubby guy looks at Yuya’s direction, stae at him deeply. “Hen janai yo” he said with a wide smile.
Sruk! Yuya lost himself, he attacked Daiki and locked him under him. Making Daiki who is under him just be able to see him.
Silence… both of them stare at each other. Enjoying every second that feels so long. Like they can stare at each other forever. Like they stare at the most beautiful creature for both of them.
Daiki’s eyes feel hot after, his feelings mix and about to burst.
“Daiki…” called Yuya.
Daiki smiles hearing that, widening his smiles as his eyes is getting hotter and his tears can fall whenever it wants. He doesn’t know why he feels sad, he doesn’t know why he feels worry, he doesn’t know if it’s the right thing to let Yuya loves him.
“Demo…” Daiki still wear his smile. “Ore no koto ga hontou ni suki desuka?”
“Ne, Yuya. Love and lust, how do you distinguish them?”

“Of course, Your Majesty” answered Yuya.
“Nakajima Ryosuke. His name is Nakajima Ryosuke, a prince from J Kingdom. He… make him fall to the ugliest person on earth!!!” Yuyan shocked when the Goddess raised her voice. Her face is red because of anger. “He… how dare he-“
“Please calm down, Your Majesty..” said one of her maid. But seems like it has been refused. Because Inoo shouts again.
“Make him fall in love to the ugliet person on earth!” she ordered madly. The Beauty Goddess doesn’t look beautiful at all because of his madness.
“We-we will, Your Majesty. We’ll do it as soon as possible” Takaki bowed and ran to leave that place before the Goddess’ anger can be heard again.

“Sukitte… ii you” Daiki mumbles. That chubby guy looks at Yuya’s direction, stae at him deeply. “Hen janai yo” he said with a wide smile.
Sruk! Yuya lost himself, he attacked Daiki and locked him under him. Making Daiki who is under him just be able to see him.
Silence… both of them stare at each other. Enjoying every second that feels so long. Like they can stare at each other forever. Like they stare at the most beautiful creature for both of them.
Daiki’s eyes feel hot after, his feelings mix and about to burst.
“Daiki…” called Yuya.
Daiki smiles hearing that, widening his smiles as his eyes is getting hotter and his tears can fall whenever it wants. He doesn’t know why he feels sad, he doesn’t know why he feels worry, he doesn’t know if it’s the right thing to let Yuya loves him.
“Demo…” Daiki still wear his smile. “Ore no koto ga hontou ni suki desuka?”
“Ne, Yuya. Love and lust, how do you distinguish them?”
