A Friend to Kiss
Summary: Even now that Seto has finally found Ren he still feels like something's missing. Little two-shot sequel to the game. Crow/Seto R&R plz yaoi POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Disclaimer: I don't own Fragile Dreams in any way. Only the plot is mine, okay? (xD Dang I am just busting out the rhymes for this fic it seems like)
Warnings: Uh… boy on boy kissing and naughty-ness. Not really much of a sex scene but it's still inappropriate so you kids just make sure an adult isn't in the room. xD haha
I never understood why Seto never just got another battery and saved Crow. =_= They never said that batteries were wiped off the face of the planet along with humans anywhere in the game so I figured SOMEONE had to write a fic like this.
Moral of this story: love is love even when the people in love are gay and one of them is a robot. D; Please don't hassle me too much about the science behind Crow. I don't even know. xD Some hardcore technology we haven't discovered yet. Shush. I tried my best with this to be as accurate as possible. If I get too many complaints I'll try to edit it to be better. D:
You were all so very nice in your reviews for the first chapter, thank you all! This is the final chapter so I hope you like it! I'm so sorry it took me so long to post. T_T College tends to cause update fail. Dx Anyyyway on with the story.
CHAPTER 2: NO DEATH AT ALL
There he was: just where I'd left him. His limp body lay amongst the other dolls, lifeless and cold. But he wasn't dead like I thought he was. He was just sleeping. He was my Briar Rose.
Tears rolled down my cheeks and I smiled down at him. I chuckled a little as I thought of that metaphor. Did that make me Crow's prince? I remembered how much he liked reading books like that. I'd have to tell him about it later.
Ren turned to me worriedly. "Are you okay, Seto?" she asked quietly. I'd been grinning through my tears so much that she wasn't quite sure whether I was happy or sad anymore.
I nodded and gave her a reassuring smile. "Yeah," I breathed. "It's just… we really found him." I rifled through my briefcase and grabbed a battery.
Ren helped me search for the place to put it in. We turned him over onto his back and I lifted up his shirt, blushing a little at his exposed skin.
"Here?" Ren asked, pointing to a small compartment on Crow's back. She touched it and it opened wider, revealing the already depleted battery inside of him. I took it out and inserted the new one, trembling and hoping it would work. The opening slid shut again.
Ren and I turned him over again and I searched his face. Nothing happened. My heart sank for a second before suddenly I remembered: 'save your doll with a battery and a kiss.'
I blushed, side-glancing at Ren. She tilted her head, confused.
"Why isn't it working?" she wondered. I took Crow into my arms, swallowing down my nervousness and pressing my lips against his.
I could feel Ren's surprise as she watched with widening eyes.
My heart raced as, for a split second, I felt the lips against mine kissing me back. I pulled away in need of breath.
"S-Seto…? Why are you…?" Crow sat up quickly in a panic. "Didn't I shut down?"
"I found batteries," I explained enthusiastically, fighting back the tears of happiness at having Crow back after such a long time.
"T-that's impossible," Crow insisted. "They don't have those anymore." I shook my head and opened my briefcase, showing him all the batteries I'd brought.
"There's even more where that came from," I said cheerfully. His eyes widened and he examined one of the batteries, astonished.
"This… this is really… Where did you find this?" he exclaimed. He rifled through his pockets before showing me the photo he'd shown me when we'd met. "Does this look like the place where you found this?" I was shocked.
"It… it kind of does… yeah," I said with a nod. He beamed at me.
"You found it then… you really found it: the place I've been searching for. Was the old man in the photo there too? Maybe he can tell me more about myself!" I was silent.
"No," I murmured. "No one was there. It looked just like every other place: deserted and falling apart." It was Crow's turn to be silent before he suddenly spotted Ren.
"You… you found the silver-haired girl!" he exclaimed, impressed. "It looks like you found what both of us were looking for then… I'm glad. Now you can be friends with another human." He looked sad and Ren was silent.
"You will always be my best friend!" I shouted suddenly. "I don't care if you're a doll. Nothing will change that!" Crow's eyebrows furrowed together.
"Why? I'm not alive!" he grumbled sadly.
"I don't care," I shouted back stubbornly. Ren sat there awkwardly.
"Seto…" she said softly. "I think… I'm gonna step out of the room… Tell him what he really means to you, okay?" I blushed again. Since when had she figured out about my feelings?
She left and both Crow and I sat uncomfortably alone together.
"I… Crow... while you were gone I missed you… so much that it hurt. It doesn't matter to me if you're a doll or a robot or any of that. You're my best friend… but not only that... You kissed me… and people who are just friends don't actually kiss each other like that, do they?" Crow raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, confused. I sighed, my face still burning red.
"You like to read. Haven't you ever read… romances?" I murmured. Crow looked at me in surprise.
"Yeah… I have," he said slowly, still not quite getting the connection.
"People who love each other kiss, Crow… people who are just 'friends' don't… normally…" Crow suddenly realized what I was talking about in embarrassment.
"You mean… we… like the people in the romance novels…?" He could barely get out what he wanted to say. I nodded, leaning in closer to him.
"Yes, just like that…" I murmured. Before I knew it I'd gathered my courage and moved in to kiss him again.
He froze, taking a little while to kiss me back. I moved my mouth against his in a way that we'd never kissed before.
Suddenly he pushed me back, kissing me back fiercely and nibbling on my lip until I opened my mouth. His tongue slipped inside and rubbed against mine. I became light-headed and groaned in approval.
His mouth was warm and wet. In that moment I'd completely forgotten that he wasn't human. How could a robot feel like this… so warm?
We had to pull away for air eventually. Both of us stared at each other, panting and equally as amazed by what just happened.
But then a familiar playful smirk dawned on his face.
"I never would've expected this," Crow purred. I looked down at where he was motioning and noticed the bulge in my pants. I gulped.
"S-Sorry… I…"
"Don't worry," he interrupted. "I'll take care of it for you."
"B-but…" I stammered nervously. He silenced me with another kiss, pushing me down even further till I was lying down on the ground. He straddled me and before I knew it he was rubbing against me and making my eyes roll into the back of my head.
I moaned and whimpered into his mouth, holding him close and thrusting against him until I came. He grinned at me and we both held each other in satisfaction.
x-x-x-x-x-x
We both walked out of the room together and I spotted Ren blushing a little across the hall. I blushed too, embarrassed. I hadn't been very quiet. She'd probably heard us.
Crow, however, wouldn't have blushed even if he could. He grinned wider than the Cheshire Cat.
Ren cleared her throat and held out her hand towards Crow.
"I'm Ren," she said. "Nice to meet you."
"The name's Crow," he replied, shaking her hand enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you too."
I took Ren's hand and then took Crow's, embracing both the human and non-human beside me.
Crow was no Pinocchio. He was never going to be human. But he didn't need to be. I loved him just the way he was.
