Meeting Seimei again
"Everything's all right now…" Soubi said in a hush-toned voice, as he held the younger boy in a deep embrace. Ritsuka was shaking under the touch of the older man, who was now stroking his hair.
"Soubi…why?" Ritsuka asked as tears were forming in his eyes. "Why must these things happen to me, and me only?" Soubi held the boy closer, tears of his own building up. "I love you, Ritsuka."
Ritsuka pushed away forcefully, no longer feeling Soubi's warmth. "STOP!" he cried out, "I don't ever want to her you, or anyone else say those words to me again!" He stood on his feet and started toward the door, but stopped when a hand grabbed his.
"Don't go…please!" Soubi said softly, looking at the ground. Ritsuka stopped for a minute. "Then, tell me why, why did you do what you just did?" The young boy stared at the man on the floor tears still in his eyes. Soubi stopped looking at the ground and met Ritsuka's glistening eyes.
"One murder was enough." He answered. What does this guy mean by 'one murder was enough'? He was so confused, "What do you mean? Why would there have been two murders tonight if you killed me?"
"If I killed you, I would have soon had to kill myself…" he paused, still looking deep into Ritsuka's eyes. "Because…Life without the person I love, wouldn't be living to me."
This statement broke Ritsuka's concentration. Soubi used this moment to his advantage and pulled the young boy back in his arms, resting his chin on Ritsuka's head. Ritsuka was still in a bit of shock and was still shaking a little bit. His mind was racing with the night's events. Ritsuka was now sobbing, loudly.
"Shh," Soubi whispered in his lover's ear, slowly rocking him in his lap. "It's all over now, and I'm with you" That's when Ritsuka closed his eyes and drifted to sleep…again.
