I was in a good mood and just decided to bring this to life when an idea popped into my head. It's a little short but I find it okay. Second upload in a week, fourth story idea to be turned into words in a week, I'm on a roll :D
Anyone willing to try and guess why I called this fic Lovesickness and Stockholm Syndrome? Those who get it right get a cookie xD
Constructive criticism is loved, Flames will be hurled back if I feel up to it.
Pale almost sickly skin. Beautiful silver hair. Alluring lavender eyes.
One would easily mistake Kiryuu Ichiru for his older brother,Kiryuu Zero.
But not Kurenai Maria, no, definitely not her. She remembers that sad expression he always wore,
the numb pain on his features when he was with her or her cousin, Hiou Shizuka.
His expression would brighten slightly when he was with her,
but it can never compare to when he was with Shizuka-sama.
He was almost always with Shizuka-sama, because like her, his body was weak,
the two of them bonded by their need for the strength that could come only when it was given or taken from a pureblooded vampire.
She knew how he felt towards her cousin. She could see the light in his eyes, the ones usually filled with sadness, brighten when he saw her. She was still unsure of her cousin's feelings towards that, mainly because she rarely saw them and when she did, Shizuka would never show any emotion.
If only he knew...
If only he knew...
How he affected her...
And how she was crushed by his not so subtle rejection...
He rarely did anything with her unless Shizuka was there. He rarely spoke with her, unless she spoke first, but there were times that he wouldn't reply and so she would resort to keeping her mouth shut. He did anything he could to avoid her touch, usually just abruptly standing up and leaving. He actually avoided her as a whole. Why he did, she would never know. But then again, what would she know of this intriguing young man?
And when she hears of Shizuka's request to possess her body, she imagine Ichiru following her, a twinkle in his eyes, and she begins to act more of her vampire age, a young woman fantasizing about the man of her dreams.
But then again it isn't her...
It's her...
Not Kurenai Maria...
For it is Hiou Shizuka...
The same woman who murdered his parents.
The same woman who cursed his own brother into a life of pain and suffering.
The same woman who he loved.
Hiou Shizuka.
Kurenai Maria.
Two women who would share one body for a period of time. Two women who would share the same man for a period of time. One loved by the man, the other loving the man. She didn't mind if she had to share her body...
As long as she had him...
407 words... Rather short in my opinion, but longer than originally planned. A random oneshot brought about by seeing the lack of Ichiru/Maria fics. Yes, Maria's love is onesided. Maybe I can make a Ichiru/Shizuka version, but that would be a little tricky...
