Words Unheard

Soft steps were silenced upon the plush carpet floor as the figure moved closer towards the slumbering man by the open fireplace. The soft light caressed that gamin face like an artist would with his canvas. He watched silently as the boy turned in the chair words mumbled in his sleepy haze before falling back into the arms of the Sandman.
His feet eventually got him where he most wanted to be. He knelt before the angel and gazed at his heavenly beauty. No creature or being of his world could ever compare to the purity and innocence of his man curled by the fire. His hands yearned for what his eyes did. They wanted to roam over softly tanned skin, fall upon silk locks and trace defined lips. Yet his control refused such an expression of love. His mind and heart rebelled daily over this etheral creature. He sighed into the night as the voices called for his return.
"You are dearer to me than my own life, Ken. I will always watch over you. That, I can promise you forever."
With no hope of the brunette hearing his unearthly voice, he left walking back to the balcony leaving the same way he entered. The doors slide open and he walked gracefully through the threshold not feeling the biting cold around him. He closed his eyes and sighed as his shimmering white wings sprang free.
"I love you Ken."
With those last words he stepped onto the railing while the doors closed behind him. He spread his wings wide and flew upwards towards the Heavens not looking back at his lost love.

The man inside shivered slightly from the cold even though the heat was near and he was half asleep. Unconsciously he tightened his hold upon the plain silver ring in his hand and pulled himself into a smaller ball. He mumbled then in his troubled slumber words that he longed for the other to hear.
"I love you Ran..."
