Fandom:Alive-The Final Evolution
Pairing:Megumi Ochiai x Kanou Taisuke(...kinda.)
Spoilers: Beyond the Heart of Akurou and Nightmare Week.
Notes:Seriously, anyone seen soul eater?
Summary: "Who are you?" He is a symbiote with neither a past nor a future and he has eclipsed the sun. "His shadow."
"Who are you?"
Every fiber of his being radiated the power, knowledge and wisdom of a world long lost to time and the blunders of its own greed.
The question catches him off guard, because truth be told, he does not know. He once had a name, a family and a life, but already he has forgotten.
Not that it matters, they were all dead anyway.
In the final hours of Armageddon they had sought to escape from the nightmare they devised. The grave they had themselves dug.
And for an eternity they had traveled: a discordant meld of minds and souls.
Potpourri. The word seeps into his mind.
They have probably lost any and all semblance of logic and reason in the eon it took them to land.
He snaps out of his thoughts and regards her once more. With her bright eyes, too white sundresses and dreams so big they clashed with real life.
He raises a tan, lanky hand and his fingers hover over her cheek.
She forces herself to steady her trembling hand, tells herself its still him, the stupid, foolish boy who wanted to save the world but could not save himself.
His fingers trail down her bright red hoodie, land on the edge of her scarf and pulls.
She can taste sparks in the air and see the dangerous glint in his eyes, but she stands tall, does not flinch or back down, instead meets his gaze head on as all at once, the scarf bursts into flames.
She eyes the now smoldering garment with fascination bordering upon dread.
He doesn't know whether to feel disappointed or excited.
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"I've grown used to the company of demons.
Now don't change the topic. Who are you?"
His smile is pulled too tight across his boyish features and is more of a sneer than anything else.
"His shadow. Taisuke's gone, girl. Sleeping, indefinitely."
"You're wrong. " Her words carry the faintest hint of hesitation.
"…Is this what you call denial?" His tone is light and mocking.
He promised he would come back, that they would meet again. That this was not their end.
"No. And its not despair either."
She draws herself up to her full height, but even on tiptoes she only reaches the base of his neck, and glares,
"Its called faith, asshole."
He sees the swirl of emotion in her baby blues and almost grins on impulse.
Humans were amusing creatures.
" If he's sleeping then I'll wake him up." She steels her resolve and speaks with a conviction she never knew she possessed.
"Taisuke! If you can hear me, this makes you the girl in the fairytale."
She will help him honor his word.
She would not have been brave enough to do this if it were any other situation.
And before he has a chance to fix her with a scathing, cryptic remark, she leans forward and presses her lips against his.
He saved the world and now its her turn to take the helm. She will be the one to save him.
He is a symbiote with no past and no future. He lives on today because he has forgotten where he came from and does not know where he is going.
He will make good use of this body: this little broken boy.

"Did it work?"
"Ask Taisuke."
Edited because some parts were bothering me.
:D
I shall lament the lack of a new chapter of alive.
Oh, and Beta please?
(Once again, this is so my new otp.)
