Sun, Moon, and Shadow
Written for Mitsucchi. I hope you enjoy! This is my way of trying to make up for my crappy writer's block for The Only One For Me.
Also written for Hinekosama who seems to enjoy KiKuro quite a bit uhuhuhu~
(These two lovely peoples can be found on Tumblr)
Warning: Not proofread. I usually take an agonizingly long time to write fics, so this is just a quick drabble :D
"Kurokocchi, aren't the stars beautiful tonight?" Kise teased in his usual cheesy manner. His fingers threaded themselves with the young, kindergarten teacher's much smaller ones.
"I suppose so," Kuroko said quietly, nibbling on his lips.
Kise had trained to be a pilot to run away from Kuroko after confessing his feelings to him. That way, he'd never have to face Kuroko again, spending his life floating around in the air and drifting from place to place. Because home really was where Kuroko was. The blond male could hardly contain his feelings for the slim, delicate but strong boy-now-man. To his shock, though, Kuroko had accepted his feelings, his love. And they had dated throughout high school, throughout their years in college.
Now they were living together, with Kise working full-time as a model. He actually didn't have to work at all, with his ridiculously high pay. It was a good life.
Was there a limit to happiness, Kise wondered. He didn't really want to know the answer.
"Why do you sound so depressed?" Kise turned to face his lover.
"Do you never notice the moon?"
The question threw Kise off guard. "Well, of course I do. It's beautiful but it merely reflects the light of the sun, doesn't it?"
At that, Kise sobered. That was rather like him. He was really the moon and the thought filled him with a peculiar self-loathing.
It wasn't that he loved that idiot tanned basketball player, because that wasn't true at all. But he had looked up to Aomine a lot. Respected him, admired him, wanted to surpass him at all costs. Aomine, though, was the true light. Kise was merely a reflection, a copy of that light. He hadn't been able to beat him at all, ever. Was that natural? There was only so much failure one could take…
There was nothing special about the moon, then. It could produce nothing on its own, an unoriginal, weaker version of the sun. It was the sun that had power on this earth…
"Kise-kun?"
"Tetsucchi," Kise said, his serious tone matching his completely impassive face. "I don't think I like the moon at all, actually. It's a bit pathetic isn't it-"
"Ryouta-kun. Your face is too easy to read," Kuroko responded, moving to rest his head against the model's shoulder. "I followed your thoughts."
"That's embarrassing-"
"The moon is beautiful. I can always see the moon, you know? I don't have trouble looking directly at it. In fact, I like looking at it when I go to sleep because it soothes me. It gives off a gentle, loving light. Sometimes it's hard to find, because it waxes and wanes, because it gets hidden by clouds from time to time. But it's always there for me and I know that it is, even during those times. And on nights like this when there's a full moon, I can't help but stare at it," Kuroko murmured quietly.
"T-Tetsucchi…" Kise's eyes welled with tears.
"So don't be like that. You should appreciate yourself more." Kuroko lifted his head to smile at him brightly.
"But a shadow exists much better under the real light, the sun."
To Kise's shock, Kuroko hooked his arms around his neck and pulled him down for a mind-numbing kiss.
"Don't worry about the shadow. The shadow is happy."
"I love you, Tetsucchi. I really do."
"I know. I love you too."
Author's Note: Very short, huh XD It's my attempt at a drabble. I usually write thousands and thousands of words. This is quite new to me ~.~
