Summary: Under the evening sun, they made their promise; their promise that they'd meet again, that Nezumi would return. Their last words were not ones of farewell, but the promise...of a new beginning.
Warnings: Shounen-ai, SPOILERS for the ending of No. 6 and un-beta'd as per usual.
Comments: My first No. 6 fanfic! Please review and tell me what you think; thank you to everyone who reads this! A small oneshot about Nezumi's return and him fulfilling the promise they made a year ago. Shion will forever wait for him! Aw~ sorry if it doesn't make sense! xD
Our Promise
Staring through his window, Shion ran a hand through his pale white hair, recalling the past and reminiscing to himself. It had been a year since Nezumi left, a year since the destruction of No. 6, and a year since he'd fallen in love. And he had faith that Nezumi would return, faith that he'd see his best friend; that Nezumi would come back to him like he did those years ago.
He got up and wrapped his scarf around his neck, the pale markings on his face reflecting in the glass of the window. Nezumi would return. No doubt about it. They'd made a promise and that man never broke his promises, that's how it had always been.
Pressing a finger to his lips, he left the house, deciding to take a walk. He'd learnt from Nezumi, no longer the naïve and innocent child he used to be. Even if he wasn't as mature as the other, he had grown, after learning the secrets of the corrupt government he used to reside in.
Those times had been amazing. They'd danced, they'd kissed, laughed, read and learned from each other. And Shion would never forget that stormy night when they'd encountered the first time, no matter how many years ago it had been.
Learning about the world and discovering things he never knew, was possible only with the other. When Nezumi had sang to him in the moment when he was sure he wasn't going to make it, Shion had been full of life, happiness. Everything had seemed perfect.
And no matter what the others said, their last kiss wasn't one of farewell. It was a gentle, chaste moment between them. A silent, inaudible promise that once they'd fulfilled their goals, they would meet again; not as enemies, but friends, special friends that shared a bond deeper than anyone around them. Together they'd worked, helping each other, saving each other's life. And that was all that mattered.
The tender evening sky spread throughout the land, the sun illuminating and making everything a beautiful orange colour. Shion smiled brightly to himself, it was just like the day he and Nezumi had parted.
Beautiful.
Standing and watching the land from afar, he saw a shadow loom closer, a familiar shadow, soft and kind. That melodic sound whispered in his ear, only steps away.
"Shion." He didn't even need to turn around to know who that voice belonged to, the one in his memories, the one dear to his heart, the one that he'd promised to meet again and never let go this time. With tears in his eyes, he turned around, to find the one he had waited to see again for so long.
"I'm back."
