A Memory Like All Others
"Crow?" Seto asked, staring into the night sky, watching the thousands of twinkling stars above them.
"Yeah? What's up?" his companion replied, turning his head slightly to the side.
"Do you think we'll be friends forever?"
Crow sat up, scratching the back of his head, brooding over the question. It wasn't uncommon for Seto to ask stupid things once in a while, and sometimes it left the older boy in such a stupor that half the time, he didn't know what to say. "I think so, right? I mean, I'm your best buddy. Nothin' is ever gonna change that."
The brunet smiled, adjusting his body so his head rested in the palm of his hand. "You're the best, Crow."
He chuckled, looking down at his friend, pursing his lips and locking them with Seto's, in a light feather-like kiss.
…and Seto jolted awake, by the pot of wood where the flame had run out over the course of his sleep. He sighed, curling into himself, and let the tears break free. Like so many other times, he had dreamed about Crow, about the kiss they shared, and remembered the words the other would always say to him. And usually he wouldn't cry, because he knew that Crow would chastise him for doing so. This time, there wasn't going to be a funny, teasing Crow to tell him that he shouldn't cry.
Seto had almost forgotten that it had been a long time since Crow's battery ran out.
So I recently played through Fragile Dreams some time ago, and couldn't help but fall in love with Crow's character and his relationship with Seto. And then I got to the scene where Crow finally found out who he was...and my heart literally broke. It didn't help that I had the game in Japanese at that point, which only made the scene more depressing (because WOW Crow's voice was the only one I liked in English xD).
I might write more for this pairing at some point, I don't know. Right now, I need to go calm my broken heart.
