Will you?
"Yuui" Kurogane grabbed his arm as he made a last ditch attempt to make the stubborn mage stay just for that little while longer.
"Let go." Yuui bit out, his voice cold as steel as he tried to pull away from Kurogane's iron grasp.
"I said I'm sorry. What more do you want?"
"Does your sorry ever mean anything?" Yuui asks and turn his head away to avoid letting Kurogane see the pain he felt.
"You are one who never wanted them to mean anything, so why ask? What do I have to proof before you learn how to trust me? When is it ever enough for you? I'm getting tired…" Kurogane answered softly as he pulled the mage back towards him as he sensed Yuui's defenses waning down. The mage didn't respond but just let himself be lull back into those arms that provided the support and strength every time he falls into the abyss.
"Then why don't you give up? Why do you torture the both of us so?" Yuui whispered into the fistful of fabric he was clutching onto.
"If you haven't noticed, I am quite the sadist…" Kurogane replied as he gave a weary chuckle and linked his arms around Yuui's slender warmth and slowly ran his hand up and down the small of his back, loving the feel of taut muscles relaxing under his touch.
"Will you really give up than…?" Yuui answered as he snuggled deeper into Kurogane's embrace and lean his forehead on his collarbone, tickling Kurogane's nose with cool liquid gold.
"I won't….will you?"
