Truth
Notes- If you can't figure out who these people are at the end of the story, email me, ok? And because I love these two, be kind on the reviews, and some implied things in here are found in many ficcys. Just for a little background- read Tin's (CCS) stuff, Kit Spooner's (CCS) stuff, Suppi-chan's (CCS) stuff…er…Sakura's (CCS) stuff I think and a buncha others that have slipped my mind at the moment.
Disclaimer- I don't own CCS, Clamp does. If I owned it, I wouldn't be doing this story secretly, during my geometry homework time, ok?

"You're very beautiful, you know."
"Am I?"
"Don't mock me."
"Would I, the beautiful one?"
"I wish I'd never said that."
"But truth is what makes you you! You're beautiful, too."
"Thank you. And what makes you think I always tell the truth?"
"One who compliments so truly must tell the truth."
"If I told you that I lived a lie?"
"It's plausible. Yet, I prefer a sweet angel, with nothing to hide."
"Everybody has something to hide."
"We do, yes."
"So it's not logical to say that I have nothing to hide."
"Am I ever logical?"
"You're just a ridiculous beauty."
"Why, I'm flattered!"
"Must you?"
"I am a ridiculous beauty, after all."
"Couldn't you ever stop this?"
"Stop 'this'? Just what exactly is 'this'?"
"Forget it…"
"This act, you mean? Could I drop this, any more than you could drop yours?"
"You could! You don't have anything to hide! You have nothing to keep yours for! I couldn't…not for…not for their sake."
"For your sake, then? And, have you ever thought, that I might need mine, for somebody else's sake, too?"
"It's the same! I need to keep it for their sake, which…translates to my own. And who, may I ask?"
"You're never going to realize, will you?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about. And who?"
"You'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"
"You're doing it again."
"And if I am?"
"Stop it. And for who's sake are you keeping up this…this silly pretense?"
"You'd love to know, wouldn't you?"
"Yes, I would."
"What would you do to know?"
"Nothing."
"Well, then, you'll never know, will you?"
"What happened to the polite child I once knew?"
"What happened to the constantly happy, innocent child I once knew?"
"Don't go there."
"Oh?"
"Hurting me won't get you anywhere. Or were you planning on torturing me, then telling me?"
"How persistent."
"You know who I keep mine for! Why shouldn't I know yours?"
"You already know."
"Liar."
"Only half."
"If I knew, would I persist at this so doggedly?"
"You know it. Back in your mind, somewhere, you know. You must know."
"A hint, perhaps?"
"Beautiful."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Don't do this."
"You wanted to know, didn't you? You got your answer. Admit the truth; you knew and you know you're never going to get the one you want."
"Shut up."
"So why not…why not settle for the consolation prize?"
"SHUT UP."
"Pain is universal."
"Oh, the "oh powerful one" isn't above it?"
"I thought I was ridiculous!"
"Fuck you."
"I suppose, at this point, I should know where the innocence went."
"I don't need this. I could just leave."
"Leave. With this-"
A brutal, passionate kiss.
"Truth."
