Dusty Diary

A Tsubasa Chronicles fic by GHSNEKO

Fai regarded the young man across the room.

Syaoran slowly turned the pages of the dust-covered book he had found laying on the desk. The book wasn't the only object that had accumulated dust in the abandoned cabin. The whole place had been powdered with the stuff, but some cleaning had improved things immensely. The two travelers had spent most of the day wiping off tables, sweeping floors, and washing blankets. Now, as the moon shone high in the starry sky, they could only wonder as to the whereabouts of their companions.

They had fallen into this world and landed in different locations. At least they could still understand each other, so they knew Kurogane, Sakura, and Mokona were within a certain distance of the cabin. Well, Mokona was. Hopefully, Kurogane and Sakura were with the small creature. Hopefully, they were safe.

Bored, Fai rose from the couch and strode across the room where Syaoran was reading, his arms resting on the countertop. Fai leaned over his shoulder and scanned the pages.

"Whatcha reading?"

"I'm not sure..." Syaoran replied. "I can only read some of it. Like this part here, I understand. But, this..." he flipped back a couple of pages and pointed. "I don't know what this says."

Fai read the lines and smiled. "I do."

"You do?"

The blond nodded. "It's a simplified version of my language's writing system. J'adore comment la lune brille brillamment dans le ciel étoilé. Cela me rappelle de vos yeux. La façon dont ils brillent. Comment ils glitter et sparkle. Je suis asservie par eux. Je suis attiré par leur intensité. Chaleur races tout au long de mon corps et extrait ma plus profonde et plus profonde. Un incendie agréable brûle dans mon cœur et tout le reste mais vous cesse d'exister. Je t'aime."

"What does that mean?" Syaoran asked, enthralled by the beautiful flow of Fai's language.

"I love how the moon shines brightly in the starry sky. It reminds me of your eyes. The way they shine. How they glitter and sparkle. I'm enslaved by them. I'm drawn in by their intensity. Heat races throughout my body and pulls me in deeper and deeper. A pleasant fire burns within my heart, and all else but you ceases to exist. I love you."

"Oh.." the boy whispered. Suddenly, the room felt small and the air was thicker. Fai felt incredibly close and the feeling of his breath tickling across his ear was amazing. Syaoran turned his head and met Fai's gaze.

"Pretty, huh?" Fai murmured in referrence to the writing.

All of the sudden Syaoran felt exactly like the writer of the book had. Heat was racing through his body, his heart was burning and he was drawing closer to the blue depths. Fai's eyes widened as Syaoran kissed him, then slowly closed as he kissed back. The boy pulled back, blushing intensely. The blond chuckled softly and grasped his chin, drawing him back up for another kiss. They stayed that way awhile, for the time being forgetting about the journey, feathers, and the fact that their companions were out there somewhere.

For now, this was all that mattered.

Wow, I am ridiculously inspired lately. Anywhos, I thought of this the other night and was like, Aww, they'd be so cute together. So, ta-da.

R&R please.
