No.6
The Third Option
Chapter 1
"Sion," Nezumi called.
The two of them were in a dark alley in Lost Town. The city had finally lost the dark and sinister atmosphere and the people had become very happy ever since No.6 had fallen. Nezumi had still hidden in the West District, just to be free, and peace was not really his cup of tea. Though he sometimes came to visit his lover.
"Yeah?", Sion asked. He turned around to look at Nezumi, but couldn't really see his expression..
Sion tried to focus his eyes, as he heard Nezumi walking closer.
The dark blue haired boy grinned. "Have you missed me?" he asked, his voice sounded teasing, almost mocking.
"Of course.." was Sion's reply. He was glad it was dark, so Nezumi couldn't see the blush that appeared on his face. He tried to change the topic; "So, what have you been up to lately? I haven't heard from you in a while.."
Nezumi chuckled. "You sound like you've missed me indeed. Not surprised." He laughed. "I've been running around, doing some chores, you know," he continued.
"Ah.." Sion didn't really know how to act. He didn't know how to act in front of his friend.. His best friend, his .. lover. He closed his eyes. Why was he so nervous? This never happened before.. 'I'm being ridiculous..' he thought. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at Nezumi's face. It hadn't changed much since the last time he saw him. Of course, it was just a few weeks, maybe a month..
He was too deeply lost in his thoughts to notice that Nezumi had walked closer..
Nezumi smirked. "You're always thinking, aren't you? Is there again something you don't understand?" He chuckled. He finally took his hand out of his pocket and placed it awfully gently - for his doing - on Sion's cheek.
The white haired boy suddenly looked up and stared at Nezumi. "I'm just.. I was just.. I was thinking. Why don't you just come live with me? Or why can't I come live with you? I don't like this.. I don't like us being apart.." His voice started to tremble. "Why can't it be like it was before?"
Nezumi sighed. "You know I can't be at ease if I have to stick with being in one place, being a nice happy family. I have to be able to move freely, do whatever I want." He smiled at Sion. "It was a big step for me to love you, though I'm really glad I took that step." He leaned forward and kissed the other boy gently.
That kiss took Sion by surprise, though he didn't dislike it. He closed his eyes and tried not to think of anything for a moment. Sion knew that Nezumi was like this, and he accepted that. He just couldn't help but say what was on his mind. When they broke apart, Sion looked at Nezumi again, and apologised. "I'm sorry, I-"
"What are you apologising for?" Nezumi interrupted him. His face wore a gentle, yet somewhat amused expression.
"I just don't want to bother you.." Sion raised his fingers to his lips. Even though the kiss was gentle, he could still feel Nezumi's lips on his..
Nezumi chuckled. "You're all but a bother," he answered in reply. There was a small urge growing inside of his heart. He forced himself to repress it, it would be nothing like him to do what his heart longed to do.
Sion could smack himself for being so stupid. He was worrying over nothing, again. When he looked at Nezumi's beautiful silver eyes, he noticed something different..
"Nezumi? Is something wrong?"
Nezumi sighed with a smile and suddenly pulled Sion in his arms. "Of course not, you idiot," the boy answered, laughing softly.
"Are you sure? You looked-"
Nezumi nodded. "Always asking questions, huh?" He laughed again.
"What's wrong with me asking questions?" Sion pouted. "I'm just worried about…" Wait.. were they hugging? Nezumi hugged him? … That was odd. But.. he couldn't help but feel a bit at ease in Nezumi's arms. He closed his eyes again as he took in the taller boy's scent. It was still the same as when he first met him in No.6..
Nezumi chuckled at the boy's late reaction. He pulled the boy a bit closer. "I've missed you," he purred in Sion's ear.
"I've missed you too," Sion admitted. "How long are you going to stay this time?"
"I don't know. I think I'll stay a bit longer though." He smiled and let go of Sion. He placed his finger under the boy's chin. "You've hardened," he remarked gently, yet observing.
At first Sion looked surprised at Nezumi's remark, but after that he smiled a litte. "And you've softened"
Nezumi twitched. "And you've become rude," he replied with a dark smirk.
"I've learned from the best." was Sion's reply. He thought he saw Nezumi's expression change, but he wasn't sure. He asked; "Shall we go somewhere else? I can hardly see a thing here.."
Nezumi chuckled. "Want to be in a more exiting place?" he asked teasing. But before the white haired boy had a chance to answer, Nezumi leaned forward and kissed him again, a bit more eagerly this time.
Sion was prepared for the kiss this time. He learned fast, after all. After a few seconds, the kiss ended. After their lips parted, the white haired boy questioned;
"Shall we go then?"
