Hold me close
Catch my tears
Clutch me tighter
Before I dissapear

Only Allen can make Kanda forget. Forget how much it hurts to be created for the sole purpose of being a weapon. Forget how much it hurts to see your first true friend alive when you thought them dead, but comatose and a test subject. Forget how much it hurts each time a lotus petal falls. Forget how much it hurts to see your comrades die around you. Only Allen can make Kanda forget the pain of holding all his hurt inside.

Only Kanda can make Allen forget how much it hurts to be betrayed by the first person you ever completely trusted and loved. Forget how it hurts to have simply been loved for a monster inside that isn't him. Forget how much it hurts to see souls in pain. Forget how much it hurts, trying to fight the Noah inside while maintaining a smile.

They can forget, because when it's only the two of them, they can let it all go. They can forget because of what the other has gone through. And when it's only them, Allen can cry and scream, and Kanda can hold Allen crushingly close and let out a few tears himself, and they can be themselves. When it's only them they don't need to speak, they can just sit and understand. When it's only them, they can be as physical or as emotional as they need to be and everything is just all right. When it's only them, they can hate and love at the same time and not be questioned. When it's only them, they can press their lips together, claw at bared skin and let the world spiral out of control around them. When it's only them, the world is as it is, nothing more and nothing less, what can be done is what can be done, what has happened has happened, what will occur does not rest solely on their shoulders and they can bear it together.

When it's only them, they can make themselves believe that they are a part of everything and everything is them.

Author's Note:

Short and drabblesque… I think that's all I can do well. A bit cheesy, no? A little angsty but not enough for that to be a genre (I'm not sure Hurt/Comfort is quite right either) or for me to consider it dark… though it takes a lot for me to say "wow… dark…" Anyways, I feel so productive… I honestly have no idea why I'm getting so much inspiration lately. This is the most writing I've done, ever. *GASP* I know now… it's the… YULLEN!!! Go powers of Yullen! Actually, a quote I came up with a while ago (that was right before my Yullen writing spree started… hmm… coincidence?). "True Yullen shippers know that Yullen makes the world go 'round. Not money or happiness, love, and peace (though Yullen will bring those about)—Yullen. PERIOD." and reviews ;P

My little poem at the beginning fits okay... not as well as my others, but I can't write a poem on demand and I had this one on hand. If I get inspiration and write a better one then I'll replace it.
