A/N: This is my first Count Cain fic! I'm so sorry if everyone hates it! Review kudasai (please)!
Fallen Leaves
"I hate autumn," Cain muttered to himself, Riff looked a him, "why, lord Cain?" He asked.
"It's when the leaves fall to the ground, the earth gets cold, and everything dies." Cain paused and continued before Riff could say anything, "it's so lonely."
"Lonely?"
"Look."Cain said pointing up at the sky. A flock of birds flew southward, Riff nodded.
"This looks like a good spot." He said, resting beneath a tree. The tree was nearly bare, only a few golden leaves were left. Cain sat next to him, as a breeze began to blow, making more leaves fall off the surrounding trees. "Let's catch leaves." Riff suggested,
"what for?" Cain asked not sounding amused with his companion.
"If you catch a leaf before it hits the ground, you can make a wish."
"Really?" Riff nodded, as he attempted to catch some, Cain also joined in. After a few minutes, Cain was ready to give up, it was harder then it looked, Cain tried once more, this time catching one!
Strangely Riff caught the same leaf. "Lord Cain, go ahead and make a wish." Cain shook his head, "let's make a wish together."Cain said putting Riff's hand on top of his.
Riff smiled, "don't say your wish out loud."Cain nodded, Riff and Cain closed their eyes and made a wish. Then they let the leaf go, but the wind caught it; sending it far away. Cain frowned, "what's the matter, lord Cain?" Riff asked.
"Autumn, is such a sad time. Everything dies, and many animals leave."
"Do you hate winter, lord Cain?" Riff asked,
"Yes! Its bitterly cold and dead, I hate winter but I hate autumn more." Riff smiled, " Lord Cain, what comes after winter?"
"Spring." Cain replied,
"Spring, the season of living. Everything that is born, dies." Cain looked at Riff without saying anything.
"Enjoy the falling leaves, lord Cain." Riff said, "once this forest becomes a graveyard, it will soon become a place of life."
"It's still so lonely."
"Are you lonely, lord Cain?" Cain looked away from Riff, trying to avoid eye contact.
"You're not alone, lord Cain. You have me. Is that why-"
"Yes." Cain said quickly cutting Riff off, " I relate to autumn, that's why I hate it. It's like everything is being taken away. Everything I love is taken away, I . . . "
"Do you love me lord Cain?" Cain nodded slightly, "please! Don't leave my side, Riff!" Cain pleaded, tears starting to fall,
"I promise that I won't leave the tree like the falling leaves. I won't die till you do, lord Cain. You will never be lonely again." Cain smiled, "never be like the falling leaves . . . "
"Never."
A/N: How sweet. Well that's all everyone! Sorry if it bore you in anyway, I really am! I couldn't resist writing a fanfic about autumn, since it's my favourite season. To me autumn had a lot to do with death, and well Cain is pretty much like death itself in a way. If they're any spelling/grammar mistakes please let me know! Review kudasai(please)!
