Hey all,
Thanks for giving this little AU of mine a try. This is only an intro chapter and is desperately short, however the story should start off with more standard length chaps here pretty soon. Just a note, this is going to be looooooong with SS and eventual KF, sorry but you'll have to suffer through some AF at the beginning here. Enjoy!

It was coming. He could feel it. And he dreaded it.
It always seemed to start with insomnia… and he hadn't slept for four days now. He was starting to hear things again, or maybe that was just his imagination getting the better of him. A whisper here, a sigh blowing across the throne room, a desperate muttering in a language he couldn't understand… Vacant charcoal eyes traveled along the ceiling, unfocused as the man listened to the deafening silence with bated breath, waiting for the inevitable. The hours could pass endlessly like this… and they did. Night after night beseeching his frayed senses for evidence that this wasn't the real thing, that maybe he'd get a reprieve this time. Questioning his own sanity, but already knowing the answer. He didn't want to do this anymore.
"But that's why you're here." The man murmured in despair, voice barely audible but still obviously shaky. His unfocused gaze roamed down the wall and settled on the blonde shock of hair resting on his chest. The hair stirred slightly, almost as if its owner had sensed the darker man's eyes on him.
"Mmph." The blonde grumbled, readjusting his nude form to a slightly more comfortable position, still as tightly adhered to the troubled man's side as a limpet. The sinuous black lines on his back coiled like serpents as he moved. "-shura, goa sleep."
Ashura watched the man with the tattoo fit himself to the mold of his body, and then slowly let his gaze crawl back up to the ceiling. He tightened his grip around the blonde's torso ever so slightly and allowed the night to reclaim his attention.
Soon. It would be soon.

Hey, desperately short I know, but longer and more detailed things are to come. Review if you liked it, or even if you didn't.
Have a happy day!
