LOVE and LOSS
Disclaimer: I do not own Loveless or any of the characters within this story. Loveless belongs to Yun Kouga.
Author's Note: Since Loveless 10 hasn't been translated yet...I've had some time to wonder about what will happen to Soubi and Ritsuka in later years. I suppose many of you (or few of you - I'm not sure how many of you I should be addressing since I don't know how many of you will actually read this) have seen the official picture of Ritsuka when he's seventeen, tall, and earless. Which led to the obvious question, when did that happen? Aaand what were Miss Kouga's intentions? So I decided to base this story two years after ( Spoiler Alert) Seimei had been caught, in which Ritsuka is now 14 and Soubi 22, and how their relationship has been crumbling over the years since, most of it had been based on Ritsuka finding the truth behind Seimei and learning to trust Soubi. Now Ritsuka is desperately trying to save his broken relationship with Soubi before it's too late by finding new means to spark their love life (Sorry, I don't really like that expression either, it sounds too silly) with a lot of help from Youji and Natsuo (whom I love), and a little from Yuiko/Yayoi and Katsuko Sensei. Along the way, Ritsuka also learns what one must let go in order to truly be someone's sacrifice. The story will be a little sad, but it will have a very sweet ending ^w^
It's been two years…Two years since he came into my life, and today is our anniversary…Soubi and I's. Two years…So I suppose, that this also means it's the anniversary of my brother's death as well. But this, I don't mind. Since he's alive, since he betrayed me, and since he's still gone.
Seimei… I still loved him, but I don't mind, that today is his anniversary and he won't be there to celebrate.
But him…I mind…
Soubi…
Dusk had fallen, outside of the little café we had spent our whole afternoon in. It was mixed with a steady fall of cool autumn rain, which had created a rather dreary scene…Like a painting by Monet that subconsciously caused your heart to ache just a bit, though you never wanted to look away.
"Ritsuka, did you like that?"
"Yes, thank you," I muttered, meaning hardly any of it. For a moment, I wondered if my voice sounded as hollow as it did when voiced to the world of taciturn thoughts suddenly made tangible as it did to my own ears. I supposed it did.
"Anything for you, Ritsuka,"
I looked away from Soubi's sweet gaze and took to stirring around the remaining bitter dregs in my coffee cup grimacing. That voice of his…it's as smooth and as gentle as the pouring rain. The way it tumbles so nicely, so soft, from the now flickering twilight sky, when I allow it to roll down my face. The words that fall from Soubi's lips are like that. Even if those words are sometimes forced the emotions behind them lingering…somewhere else…
But sometimes…
"Ritsuka…I have to leave you."
His words are like thunder. They're harsh and too loud because they seem to echo, leaving behind a ringing silence. They shake me up, and make my heart race the way the wings of a butterfly's do, before it is pierced…
Author's Note: I hoped you liked this...It was the introduction. Chapter 2 (Losing Him) will continue on through this chapter. Please review, I can't stress that enough. I'm flattered when people favorite my stories or subscribe to Author Alerts, but it's much more flattering to recieve feed back. It makes me super happy \^w^/

P.S. Just through observation, I've noticed that people who like Loveless also tend to like the yaoi side of Death Note too (but forgive me if I'm wrong), so feel free to read my stories about DN which are about MelloxNear, and please review!
