AN: Vague spoiler of how No.6 ended.
Greetings, No.6 fandom. I'm new to writing for the series, and I've been on a writing break for so long, so I hope I did Nezumi and Shion some justice…at least. I hope you enjoy the little un-edited drabble.
Disclaimer: No.6 belongs to Asano Atsuko and Bones.
"I'm back, Your Majesty." A voice whispers in his ear. Shion jolts up from his chair but remains frigid. He doesn't want to turn around, afraid that voice might just be a figment of his imagination. However, a part of him wants to end the long wait and finally face the bo-man-he's been waiting for so long.
"This is it", he takes a deep breath, turns around and braces himself.
Nothing.
He sees nothing but his empty room, the door still closed, no figure leaning on it.
Again, my head's deceiving me.
A bittersweet smile forms around his lips as he realizes, yet again, that today won't be the day he arrives.
However, he'll keep on waiting. Repeating that line with his voice over and over until the real one comes along.
"Really, you've let your guard down more than I expected you to" a soft chuckle.
This time, Shion doesn't hesitate.
"N-Nezumi…"
"I'm home, Your Majesty"
