For the Sake of Loyalty

by Dr. Captain Pepper

Each of the Ninth's Guardians have people they love dearly, but their duty to protect the boss always comes first. Small series of one-shots where each chapter is devoted to a different guardian. COMPLETE!

Yes.

Another one. I really like this one. I like how it turns out.

I ended up writing it as prose; it just felt right.

.Schnitten Brabanters.

Dark night, light knock
Hard tock of a lock,
Soft echo of a knob let go

A hollow door opens,
"Schnitten? Oh my god—what happened?"
The quiet man is pulled inside and stripped

He sits.
He sighs.
He stings.

First Aid is applied gently.
Schnitten watches quietly.
Their scent is heavenly.

"I hate seeing you like this."

"Our meetings like this are becoming regular."

Hand on the nape of the neck
Schnitten pulls them in
His Rough lips give a tender kiss

Pulling away,
Soft words are spoken,
"Marco, I've missed you."

Parted lips press
Tongue traces Marco's mouth
Schnitten needs him closer—

Morning meekly mesmerizes
Marco's muggy mind,
Rouses

He wakes up alone.
All alone.
Normal.

Normal.
A card on a pillow,
Drawn on it is a heart.
