Don't speak...
He held up a hand.
"Don't say it," he pleaded, "please don't say it.."
I know what you're thinking...
His violet eyes pleading and desperate, his actions trying to betray those feelings..
"N-Nuriko.."
"Don't, please, let me dream a while longer." The violet-haired seishi replied. "Just let me have my fantasies.. just for a little longer."
So please stop explaining...
He didn't know how to reply.. but he knew that he had to.
"Nuriko, please, let me explain.."
"Don't explain," Nuriko said, his voice rough, filled with emotion. "Don't explain to me, I don't want to hear how you feel about her. I don't want to.."
He watched as those beautiful violet eyes filled with tears, as Nuriko sank to the floor in grief.
"Don't explain to me.." He begged.
Don't tell me 'cuz it hurts...
He watched, remaining standing, as his fellow Suzaku seishi wept on the floor, hands over his eyes as though it would help hide the fact that he was crying.
"Onegai, Nuriko, I need to say this," He said. Nuriko shook his head, still sobbing.
"Don't, don't, it hurts too much, so don't, please don't.."
No, no...
Nuriko finally stood, the tears still running down his pretty face, violet eyes still full of sadness, of lost hope and a broken heart.
He wished there was something he could do.. comfort him, but no words would come. He didn't want to say it, but it needed to be said.
"Nuriko, I don't feel the way you do," he said, his tone blunt, almost uncaring-sounding.. Nuriko burst into tears anew, whispering to himself, "oh Gods, oh Gods, he said it.."
The pain in his heart felt like a very real wound indeed.
Don't speak...
"Please, understand..." He began, but Nuriko cut him off, his voice like a slap in the face, filled with emotion.
"No, no I won't understand, I won't understand.. I'll never understand." The violet-haired seishi intoned, his voice choked with anger and sadness, and the pain of a broken heart. "I understand, I don't want to understand.. I just want to be angry like I should be and.."
His voice trailed off into sobs again, the rest of what he was saying lost.
I know what you're thinking...
"Please, please couldn't you tell me you care..?" Was the next thing Nuriko said to him, looking up at him with tear-filled violet eyes. "Couldn't you just pretend, for a little while..?"
"Nuriko.. I.." But the other seishi cut him off again.
"I know, I know, I know.. you care about her, I know.. not me.. Gomen nasai, gomen nasai, I should go.. I should just go..." Nuriko sobbed.
"You don't have to go." He told him, wondering how these little words.. "I love you".. could reduce the strong seishi to tears like this..
"I have to go because you don't care too.." Nuriko said. "So please, please don't tell me to stay."
I don't need your reasons...
"Gomen nasai, gomen nasai, wo ai ni... sayanora.." Nuriko said, backing away from him.
"Nuriko, please.."
"No, don't say it, I don't want your reasons. I'm going now... sayanora."
The violet-haired seishi left the room, still in tears.
Don't tell me 'cuz it hurts...
Hotohori stood in the middle of the room, tears falling from his eyes.
Don't tell me 'cuz it hurts...
