MY PLACE IN YOUR HEART Rate: teen and up Relations: Careful S x Kalo Prolog: Ever since the cave incident, we saw hope in his eyes. Kalo, the last Sacred Warrior of the planet Ardelin. "Kalo, are you willing to stay at Eton?" "Ardelinian Knight, TC9527 General Kalo, reporting for duty!" Reporting for duty... Cary, do you know your place in my heart? That one secret I keep to myself.
Chapter I The Return of the Warrior "Is that the best they can do? And they call themselves THE monsters?" Happy S wore a scornful look after beating up the same group of monsters three days in a roll. "Apparently they shrunk away for fear of THE protagonist" exclaimed Smart S, pointing at himself with a smug. "I...er..I forget what to say" Careless S scratched his head for words "Alrighty guys, now that we are done protecting Eton, we can finally keep our minds on cooking again! :)" that was Sweet S a.k.a. the nemesis of edible food. Careful S strayed away on the way home again and before the team could noticed, he wandered off to a who-knows-where Cube Flagship Store.
"Everyone look! It's Careful S in the cube store. I heard General Kalo had just gone on a mission yesterday and now there we have Careful S already missing him. Aw~ my ship!" Pedestrian A got overwhelmed with excitement by the store window. And fans started to gather outside the store. Is that the legendary golden Rubik’s Cube?! Careful S screamed in his head as he pressed his face onto the display case and tries to get as close to the cube as possible to take a good look. But then he turned away and sighed in disappointment "too expensive, I can't believe it's worth three years of allowances from Doc..." pedestrian A had seemingly overheard the words, who, right now, was trying hard not to snap at Careful S through the glass. Are you kidding? This is all just for a cube? Nothing more?! Where’s Kalo? Where’s my ship? My ship is sinking...no~~
With Kalo out on a mission, time seemed to flow slower to Careful. That night, he found himself lying on his bed, eyes staring at the ceiling as the silver moonlight landed on his uniform. He felt increasingly lonely, desolate in a large room. Unlike the quietness he normally enjoyed, this time however, it’s tangible, a solid wall that left him shut out from the world, that tried to suffocate him. So strange he closed his eyes and went through his memories. He remembered that one time Kalo taught him how to take a sunbath. There are the languor, the warm happiness and most importantly, Kalo's company that always make Careful smile. What would my life be like without Kalo? A daring thought shot into his mind. What if Kalo was gone? What if....Does that mean everything would go back to what it was like before the cave incident? Nobody'd understand me? The thought sent a shiver down his spine. He opened his eyes and sat straight up from the pillow in a jerk. What am I doing? This summer vacation has given me enough weird thoughts. Kalo and I will always be together. He made an oath, right? He's just out in a mission for improving the diplomatic relation between Eton and Grevin. What are you thinking Careful S? He scolded at himself.
A vibration disrupted his musing. He reached for his phone. It's an SMS from Kalo: Kalo >Cary heeeyyyyyy, did you miss me?< A smile creaked between Careful's lips. Careful S >Everything goes as planned?< Kalo >Of course! You can always count on an Ardelinian knight.< On the other side of the screen, Kalo almost leaped from his bed when he saw Careful S' response, as if a day of exhaustion was replaced by indescribable happiness. On the first day of the mission, Kalo had already been completely worn out by all the diplomatic drudgery and do and don'ts, not to mention the dinning etiquettes that killed his appetite, and so he decided that next time if he was given diplomatic mission again, he would just politely decline. Diplomacy is never for soldiers. He concluded. But now, nothing was more important than talking with Cary. He was going to tell him everything he'd seen, people for kind to weird he'd met today. After a brief chat with his cute introverted kitty he cherished so much ...Time to hit the hay (unwillingly). He slept with a smile that night.
