Prologue

Standing at the top of the stairs, Shion spared one final glance at the broken down place he once considered his home. The memories of which he shared with Nezumi in that rubble immediately flashed through his mind at once, making a lump form in his throat and his chest heavy. The other man's laugh, his smile, his kindness, his unique sort of temper… His ungodly beautiful grey eyes… Shion inhaled sharply, squeezed his eyes shut and stopped his mind from thinking. Remembering was only making this harder. He had already decided. He had made his resolve. He was leaving. And he wasn't going to regret this. But there was one thing that made him unable to move;

He didn't say goodbye.

But that wouldn't stop him. He knew he had to go. He had to. There wasn't much time left anymore. He clenched his hands that were by his sides as his lips quivered and a teardrop trickled down his cheek. He drew in more air to calm himself.

After a minute of pause, Shion sighed and forced himself to turn away from his former-home, shutting out all the feelings that were in turmoil in his chest. It was time to go. And there was no turning back.

"I'm sorry, Nezumi," he murmured under his breath as he walked away.


Well! This is just a prologue, really. Will upload the chapters soon. It's not really going to be a long fic. Perhaps two chapters or so, depending on the feedback I get. And... Yeah. That's about it! Reviews would be nice! xD
