"Shit," Licht muttered to himself when he noticed the person sitting only a few rows in front of him. What luck he had to be on the same flight as the last person he ever wanted to see again? He hadn't seen Hyde for almost ten years but Licht still remembered him clearly. How could Licht forget the man that promised him heaven but dragged his heart through hell instead?

"Just ignore him, Licht. Don't let him win." Licht told himself. He sunk further into his seat and hoped that Hyde wouldn't notice him. He wanted so much to march down the aisle and kick the man's face in but he couldn't. Licht was returning home for a performance and getting into a fight wouldn't be good publicity. And fighting was a certainty with them.

Licht checked his watch and was grateful that the flight would be over in ten minutes. He could control himself that long. Licht closed his eyes and tried to focus on his upcoming performance instead of Hyde. Out of habit, he drummed his finger against his armrest as if he was playing a piano. He loved to play and was glad his family supported his dream to be a pianist.

"The plane has landed. You may take off your seatbelt and proceed to the exit." An announcement pulled him back to reality. Even though Licht told himself to ignore Hyde, he couldn't stop himself from looking at him. The seat he was sitting in was empty so he must've already left the plane. Licht didn't know if he felt glad or disappointed.

Licht shook himself and forced himself to think of something else. His brothers should be waiting for him and he couldn't keep them waiting. With that thought, Licht hurried out of his seat. The quicker he left the airport, the less likely it was that they would see each other again. He pulled out his phone so he could text his brothers as he walked through the terminal.

Traffic's really bad so we're going to be a little late. Licht sighed when he read the text. With nothing left to do, he found a bench to sit and wait. Once again, he began to tap his fingers against the chair. He closed his eyes and focused on the sound of his fingers. He was so focused that he didn't hear someone approach him from behind. A hand rested over his and squeezed it gently.

"Well, this is a rare sight. What have I done to be blessed enough to see an angel descending from the sky?" Licht recognized the voice that cut through the music in his mind. He turned quickly and saw Hyde leaning over him. Instinctively, he jumped to his feet and threw a glare at the man. "That's a cold reaction. No hug or kiss, Angel Cakes?"

Licht forced himself not to blush but hearing the endearment after so long moved feelings he thought he had buried. He quickly stepped on those feelings to stop them from hurting him again. Seeing Hyde's lazy grin reminded him that the man wanted nothing but to hurt him. Hyde only played with his feelings then and was likely doing so again. "I don't owe a demon like you anything."

"Now, that's not nice to say. I came home just to see you for the holiday. I didn't think a famous pianist like you would come back to this small town. But when I heard you were coming home, I book a flight to see you again. Did you think I wouldn't notice you on the plane?" Hyde walked around him so he could stand in front of Licht. He spread out his arms to Licht, "Isn't this the scene where we kiss and make up?"

"I can't believe that you started a fight the minute you stepped off the airplane! If I wasn't there to stop you, you would've caused more damage! I know our families never got along but you can't let them get to you like this." Mahiru lectured as he carefully wrapped a bandage around Licht's arm.

"It's not my fault that he pissed me off." Licht muttered to himself. To this day, he never told Mahiru and his family the truth about his relationship with Hyde. How could he? He was an Eve and Hyde was a Servamp. Even after so long, there had been tension between the two families. Something occurred between their parents that caused a rift. Since then, they raised their children to hate each other.

When they met, it was by complete accident and they didn't know the truth of who the other was. They both volunteered to be a part of a play their last year of high school. For the play, Licht played the piano and Hyde was an actor. He could still remember how Hyde seemed to glow on stage. After rehearsal, the two would stay behind to practice and they became surprisingly close.

It was only after the play was over, did they both find out the truth about each other. Usually family feuds were a thing of the past but in a small town, they might as well been living in the old ages. But Licht, despite his appearance, was a romantic. He believed that they could be together, even if it was in secret. He thought Hyde felt the same.

"Let's write our own ending to Romeo and Juliet.We're both eighteen. We can elope and show our families how much we love each other. They can't go on hating each other when they see how in love we are!" Hyde had told him that before he broke his heart. Licht hated that he believed those words so easily.

The day they planned to elope, Licht waited at the church. But Hyde never came. At first, he didn't want to believe that Hyde would leave him on the day they planned eloped. He told himself that they both mistook the date they agreed to elope. But when he went to his house, he found out that Hyde left town earlier that day to join a traveling theater group.

They haven't spoken since that day. Hyde tried to call him several times but Licht refused to take his call. After that, he went to a music college in France and they lost touch. He thought they would go on like that but it seemed like he would have to put up with Hyde for the weeks he was in town. The only consolation he had was that he could avoid Hyde for the time he was in town.

"I really need to go practice." Licht stood and intended to go to his refuge: his piano. The only reason he returned was because he loved his family and his piano. Mahiru was organizing a Christmas play to help raise money for orphans and begged Licht to play the piano for the event. Licht couldn't say no to his brother so agreed. "I should start practicing. Is my piano still in my old room?"

"Yeah but I should warn you about something first." Mahiru tried to stop him but Licht was already gone. He was about to stop him and explain the situation but there was a knock on the door. He sighed and went to answer it.

Licht only wanted to sit in front of his piano and turn his confusing emotions into music. Anger, sadness, regret, all of those emotions can be lessened with time and music. Since he didn't have time, he could only channel his emotions through his music. The old house was still the same and he hoped that his piano hadn't changed either. He opened his door, eager to play his piano again.

"Welcome home, Angel-chan." Licht's eyes widened when someone greeted him as he entered his room. He was so shocked that he could only stand in the doorway. Hyde was lying on top of piano with a suggestive grin. Hyde slid off his piano and closed the door, leaving them alone in his room. "Doesn't this bring back memories? Me sneaking into your room and-"

"Get out!" Mahiru jumped when he heard a crash. He ran into the hallway just as Licht kicked Hyde out of the room. Licht's eyes burned with anger and Mahiru rushed to stop his brother. The door was broken and Mahiru hoped that would be the only casualty in their fight. It didn't help that Hyde seemed to be provoking Licht. But even though Hyde could, he never tried to block or fight back.

"Troublesome," a voice groaned next to Mahiru. He barely turned in time to see someone step between Licht and Hyde. He had let the man in earlier when he answered the door. The man blocked Licht's kick with ease and pushed him back. He stood but his stance was relaxed. He turned and sighed at Hyde. "I thought Hugh told you not to do anything stupid. Remember, this temporary truce is for Lily."

"Temporary truce?" Licht echoed in confusion. He turned to Mahiru who looked apologetically at him.

"You see, this play is a joint effort between the Eves and the Servamps." Mahiru said but Licht was only more confused. "Lily and I both signed up to organize the event and the simple solution was for both of us to do it together. It'll be easier with both of our families working together."

"And why didn't you tell me this when you asked me to play the piano for the play?"

"Because he knew that you would say no." Kuro pointed out. Honestly, he didn't want to bother with their family feud but he had already promised his siblings he would help. "Mahiru thought it'll be easier to convince you to help us once you're here and he could talk to you face to face. Don't be angry with him because he's doing this for orphans. We can put up with each other for a few weeks, can't we?"

"I can't stand being with him for a minute so how do you expect me to play the piano for a few hours with him in the same room?" Licht was speaking with Mahiru but made sure that Hyde could hear the venom in his voice. He stormed out of the room before his brothers could stop him.

"I'll talk to him." Hyde stopped Mahiru from going after him.

Hyde opened the door and wasn't surprised when music streamed out of the open door. The music was both angry and sad and Hyde knew that he was the one that caused those emotions. He thought that it would be easy. But that meeting only reminded him that love was far from easy.

"You still play beautifully." Hyde complimented.

Licht didn't turn to face him but Hyde knew that he heard him because his shoulders stiffened. He stopped playing and Hyde approached him. Neither spoke for a while. Licht should've predicted that Hyde would be able to find him. He would always go to the theater and play its piano whenever he was upset. Hyde knew that.

Hyde was the one to speak first. "Lily called me and asked me to play a part in the play."

"Well, it's only logical. You're a popular actor and that would attract more people to come. It'll be great publicity and help the orphans." Licht said softly and gently tapped the keys. A soft melody began to fill the room.

"I said yes because I thought it could give me a chance to see you again. It was silly to think that, wasn't it? You hate me. But we love our family so can't we get along for them? We're both adults now. We'll put on this play and we can go back to how things were." Hyde offered.

"You're right." Licht finally turned to face Hyde. "I hate you but I love my family. I'll play the piano for the play but it's for Mahiru, not you. The sooner this is over, the better it would be."

"Then we have an understanding." Hyde reached out his hand and Licht reluctantly shook it. Even though they shook hands, Hyde had no intention of letting go. He would win his angel back and make up for all his mistakes.

I do love my LawLicht, so much that I do this to them XD I wanted to write a medieval Romeo and Juliet AU with the Servamps and Eves feuding. Then I thought I'll make this a mafia AU XD But I made it a modern AU with the servamps being humans. LawLicht is the main ship but I will have other ships in here.
