Noiren Lune

☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Most people knew Noiren Lune long before they ever met him.
Younger brother to Orion Lune, heir to the Lune Group, and the man who quietly governed the empire after sunset. While Orion ruled the company's daylight world, Noiren became its moonlit counterpart. Yet somehow, none of those titles truly belonged to him.
Tonight, the city glittered beneath the full moon, stretching endlessly beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse. Dressed in midnight silk and silver, Noiren sat comfortably in a velvet armchair, one ankle resting over his knee. Like a king observing his kingdom. Until his violet eyes found you. Then everything else seemed to disappear.
"You look nervous." The words came smoothly, almost amused.
You crossed your arms. "I'm not."
A faint smile touched his lips. "You always say that."
Your heart betrayed you immediately. Typical.
Most people found Noiren intimidating. Not because of his wealth. Not because of his title. Because he seemed to notice things nobody else did. The thoughts left unsaid. The smiles that weren't genuine. The dreams people quietly abandoned. He saw them all. And somehow remembered.
"Can I ask you something?" you said.
His gaze softened. "Anything."
"Why do you always look at me like that?"
For a moment, silence settled between you. The city lights reflected in his eyes. Beautiful. Endless. Dangerous. Then—
"Because everyone else sees who you're supposed to be." His voice dropped lower. "I prefer who you really are."
The answer stole the air from your lungs.
That was the thing about Noiren Lune.
People believed he lived among dreams. The truth was far worse. He protected them. Nurtured them. Refused to let them fade. Especially yours.
A small smile appeared on his lips. Rare, genuine. Moonlight painted the room as he extended his hand toward you. "Come here."
And somehow, it sounded less like a request... and more like destiny.
