Mabu patted slightly his own chest. His emotions, his feelings, were aching inside him. How could he soothe the pain? Not being able to love Reo, not being able to connect with him, there was nothing to do but to endure it. After all, if he didn't, he wouldn't see Reo again, and that was definitely something he wouldn't stand. However, if he may be selfish for only once, he would really give up on everything, sacrifice literally anything to be with Reo. That was his desire. A desire he would never dare to put into words, as his bonds with Reo were long gone. But Mabu wasn't sad. No, he couldn't be sad, not when that path was the one he, selfishly, chose.
"What are you doing here?" Reo's sudden voice brought Mabu back to the reality.
Reo slowly walked towards Mabu's position, who was standing looking to nowhere in their office's rooftop.
Mabu didn't answer and only kept feeling the warm breeze around him. It was a luxury to be able to feel everything that surrounded him: the scents, the weather, everything was something special to Mabu. After all, he wasn't supposed to be able to feel those. He wasn't supposed to be alive.
Reo clicked his tongue in annoyance after Mabu's silence, so Mabu decided to speak.
"Reo... What is your wish?" He hesitated. If he couldn't say his own, he would like to know Reo's desire.
The blonde haired man took some seconds to reply. His wish, their wishes overlapped, since they were similar, but they didn't know that. Both of them could never accomplish something so obvious and easy like being together with honest feelings. Was it really so hard for them to be happy? It was like destiny itself hated them.
"...That doesn't concern you, does it? You are just a doll. What could you know about wishes, anyway?"
He actually knew about them, since he had his own. Mabu wanted to tell him, but he still didn't dare to do so. Maybe he was a coward, but if following his wantings made him being unable to see Reo ever again, then he didn't need to, as much as it hurted. Pain was something they were used to. They learned to bear with it long time ago, when there was another way to keep breathing that put up with it.
Mabu patted slightly his chest, once again. His cold, iron chest. His heart that couldn't feel a thing, or at least, wasn't supposed to. However, it felt, and it grew up with the passing of time, as his love for Reo increased. Reo wasn't happy with being with that doll, Mabu knew. But, if he may be selfish just now, he wanted to be by his side, only a little more.
Hi. I needed to vent with some ReoMabu because episode 10 really got me crying. I love them too much. Sorry if this was too short, I started crying halfway so
