Ao no Exorcist - Blue Blood
Prologue
The midnight sky moved along peacefully accompanied by the darkened clouds. The moon shined; around it a thin shroud of iridescent white light. Rin stared at the moon, its face full of craters and peaks. Stars—grand and tiny—twinkled and danced before the people of the world. The breeze caressed his cheek with cold and slithered through each strand of his navy hair. The long tail that protruded from his lower torso wagged side by side, enjoying the quiet and peaceful night.
Yukio must still be on that mission, he thought to himself. It had been three days since Yukio left to handle a case in the capital of Switzerland. Being with his twin made Rin feel so cheery and pleasant; now that the battle with Gehenna was months into the past, things have only gotten better. But even so, without Yukio's presence even a beautiful night sky as this couldn't put Rin at ease. It wasn't because he was the eldest of the two and the eldest was supposed to worry for the youngest. No, it wasn't that. Rin wanted...no: he yearned for Yukio to be here. Ever since Rin and Yukio were small little things, Rin began to develop a secret feeling for Yukio. He loved the way he smiled and when he tried to smile through his crying—Oh! how he looked so adorable! Everything about Yukio was perfect: his hair, eyes, personality, voice. Yukio was Rin's beautiful angel. (how funny since they both are demons) However, Rin concealed those feelings inside him and never broke the shell that contained them. But lately, he felt as though he must before he could be taken away from him—before that dreadful day comes. With many enemies and Satan still out and amiss, death and loss can come at any time to snatch away the innocent. The older twin sighed. All Rin could do was wait for Yukio to return and when he does, he would reveal all his true feelings to the love of his life.
Rin kept staring at the moon and stars and in his heart, pounding, pumping the blood of love, he prayed to the god inside him that Yukio would return soon, safe and sound, so no moments, no matter long or short, could be cherished for as long as they can.
In Switzerland, Yukio and several other exorcists were preparing for a late dinner meal. The weather outside was atrocious, with the blizzard choking millions of heavy snow flakes that covered the ground, growing higher every day. Hopefully, Yukio thought, the blizzard with die down tomorrow morning.
While they ate, Yukio looked into the fire in the furnace. Seeing the fire, he suddenly remembered Rin. He must be sleeping like a pig right now, snoring and kicking his sheets off the bed. He smirked. How typical of his elder twin brother. Although Rin was clumsy and a bit of a knuckle head—scratch that. He is a knuckle head—a very strong and family loving one, especially to who was left of it, so much. Yukio, while taking in another spoonful of dinner, began thinking of his feelings towards Rin. He was admiringly strong, physically and mentally. He admired his elder brother for his strength and courage, though he was also very reckless; always willing to express himself in whatever means possible, allowing him to learn more from his mistakes. Damn, no wonder he's so strong and awesome.
Simply watching his brother do anything brought a wave of nostalgia over Yukio and filled him with happiness. Even more, he felt love towards him. It wasn't the love one feels towards a sibling—it was the essence of lovers. He can't imagine his life without Rin, even if he tried to. Rin was always there for him, giving him all the protection and love and affection a sibling could give. And the way he talked or slept or walked, it completely mesmerizes him. When Rin said he knew Yukio could become a doctor because he was smart and he believed in him, Yukio's heart fell for him. Rin had to be his; his one and only.
Yukio finished his last spoon and cleaned himself. Before hitting the sack, he looked outside in the snow. Although it was harsh outside, inside it looked soft and beautiful, just like Rin. Closing his eyes, Yukio slipped into deep sleep, his mind empty, but his heart pumped the blood of love and kept the image of Rin there like a tattoo.
The two lovers rested soon enough, awaiting to see each other, if not now, before they are to be torn apart forever.
