Pairing: Alviss x Ginta or Ginta x Alviss
It was obvious that Alviss was cold and anti-social, always wanting to be alone. People found it hard to get to know him, to warm up his ice fortress of a heart. Ginta had never given up, though, and always tried his best to bring out the light in Alviss's heart. He's gotten close a few times, but something always made the blue-black haired teen to shut his light back into the darkness.
So, it was with that in mind that Ginta decided to get Alviss alone and bring out that light once and for all. Unfortunately, he could not find the older teen in the castle they were staying at, waiting for the next match in the War Games. The blond crept outside, since it was the only place left to find Alviss.
Why am I doing this again? Ginta asked himself as he wandered the grounds of the palace. The answer wormed its way up to the surface, making the blond blush a pale pink color. Ginta had been smitten with the sapphire-eyed teen, more so than Snow or Miyuki. He sighed; how could Alviss li…love a guy? Ginta doubted he was gay, but even if Alviss was into guys, why should he be into an idiot like Ginta? Another sigh escaped the blond's lips, not knowing that someone had heard him.
"What do you want, Ginta?" an irritated sounding voice asked Ginta. The blond yelped and jumped two feet into the air before realizing that he had found Alviss. Ginta looked about himself and realized that they were in a clearing, one that was bathed in the blue-silver light of the full moon above them. He then switched his attention to Alviss, noticing how the moonlight complimented the teen's features. Alviss's eyes sparkled and his hair took an ethereal look, all because of the moonlight. Ginta tried his best to fight down the blush, but only succeeded in lessening the intensity of it since his cheeks were colored a pale pink.
"I…uh…wanted to know where you went," Ginta replied lamely. He looked down; waiting for the harsh comment Alviss would give him. The comment did not come, so the blond dared to take a look at the older teen and was surprised to see a ghost of a smile on Alviss's face. Alviss patted the area next to him, inviting Ginta to have a seat with him. Ginta hesitantly sat down next to his crush, hoping that he would not make a fool of himself in front of the sapphire-eyed teen.
The two sat in silence, Alviss gazing at the sky and Ginta stealing glances at the blue-black haired boy every now and then. Ginta then began to grow tired of just sitting upright and lied down on the grass, thankful that the ground was surprisingly soft. His emerald eyes glittered in the moonlight, but it dimmed his cheerful yellow hair. A soft breeze brushed the blond's hair into his eyes, causing Ginta to absently push it back. He was also starting to feel drowsy and his eyelids were starting to feel heavy. Ginta closed his eyes, but they flew open when he felt soft lips on his left cheek. The blond turned his head, only to see Alviss still gazing at the night sky.
"I still don't understand why you're up, Ginta. You do realize that the next match is tomorrow, right?" Alviss asked, speaking up for the first time since Ginta had sat down. The blond looked over at the teen, his eyes half closed due to fatigue. Alviss glanced at Ginta, but looked away so fast that the blond wondered if he had just imagined it.
"Of course I do. What about you?" the blond retorted as he used his hands as a pillow for his head. Alviss said nothing for a long time and Ginta had to close his eyes out of exhaustion. Ginta had no idea how long he could stay awake and it would be embarrassing to fall asleep while Alviss was wide-awake.
What is he thinking about? Ginta wondered absently, on the verge of losing consciousness. He then felt something feather-light on his lips, causing the blond to open his eyes. Ginta was surprised to see Alviss leaning over him, sapphire locked onto emerald. The blond found himself getting lost in the teen's seemingly deep pools of water. He had to blush when he realized just how close Alviss's lips were to his own and wondered fleetingly about what would happen next.
"Waiting for you," the sapphire-eyed teen replied softly before closing the distance and giving Ginta a chaste kiss. Alviss then stood up and picked Ginta up with one arm underneath the blond's knees while the other served as a pillow for his neck. The sixteen-year-old then carried the sleepy blond back to the palace, intent on making sure that Ginta had a good night's sleep.
"Love you," Ginta mumbled before drifting off to sleep. Alviss glanced down at the blond, allowing a small smile to grace his lips. He quietly entered the castle, stealthily making his way back to Ginta's room. It would be hell for both of them if Nanashi found the two at that moment, considering that the leader of Luberia could not keep his mouth shut.
Good night, Ginta. The blue-black haired teen thought as he tucked the leader of Team MÄR into bed. Alviss then left the room and made his way to his own bed. It was about time he got some sleep, since he'd been waiting quite a while for his blond crush to find him.
