Summary: muses and thoughts from Fai after arriving in Nihon.
Spoilers: 166.
disclaimer: theyre not mine.
He was at the river, trying desperately to get the smell of it off. Kurogane's blood. It was everywhere. his coat was probably ruined from it, but that wasn't the important thing. Fai was sick to his stomach. Seeing Kurogane lying there, pale. still. on the brink of death. He looked at his hands, which just wouldn't stop shaking! Fai balled them and held them to the side of his head, bent over. Why the hell would that man do something so stupid, for the likes of him?
Tomoyo had promised him that Kurogane would not die. But there was that fear that just ate at his gut. Was this how that man felt? Seeing HIM lie there, dying because he tried to save someone worth while? But... surely he wasn't worthy of something so noble. Fai looked at his reflection in the river. the masks were gone. the fear for the dark man's safety. was this love? He'd been denying it for so long. but... perhaps... he saw him as something worthwhile.
perhaps its time to stop the lies. twice the mans done something stupid. tho this time it took the cake. a thought struck Fai and he smiled ever so at the memory of just yesterday. Kurogane struck him for trying to do something as stupid as this... hell, he still had the lump. Perhaps he should return the favor... if he wakes up.
hell, he damn well better! Kurogane was too stubborn to die. to stubborn to give anything up. to stubborn to allow others to give up too. the idiot man. Fai stood and looked up to the palace. yes; the man will wake up, and will be stubborn just as before.
