The forbidden feeling formed in my chest that should not be here.

"Thanks Yuu." I said looking at him not wearing any mask anymore.

When we got to my door, we both paused for a few seconds. I looked sideways and our eyes caught.

My heart missed a beat under his soft gaze. I stepped closer to him not looking away.

"Let's not fight again okay?" I asked softly.

He stared at me for a long time, his eyes searching mine looking for sincerity, honesty and truth. All my emotions were bare for him to see, for once, I reveal everything.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. When he opens them again, I saw sadness.

"Okay." He agreed.

I stepped closer to him until his back were on the wall. He looked at me with unreadable expression.

"You're invading my personal space stupid rabbit." He finally frowned.

I smiled then reached out to wrap my arms around his slender waist, hiding my face at the curve of his neck.

I usually only hug him when I got really shaky and scared over the nightmares I always get but this time, I hugged him because I have a sudden need of warmth. Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe its teenage hormone. I was not sure.

"What are you doing?" he grumbled.

"Yuu" his name escaped from my lips and I swore I felt his heart missed a beat against my chest.

Slowly, I felt two arms hug me back and I felt his breathe in my hair.

"You are such a wimp."

I only leaned closer.

After a few minutes, I pulled a little away just enough to look into his eyes.

"Feeling better now?" he asked softly in a tune he would never use on anyone else.

Emotions filled my eye. In the darkness I leaned closer to him until our lips touched and I kissed him. Everything about him felt cold but that day, I found out his lips were warm. My heart had never beaten like that before; it felt like its almost bursting with emotions.

His eyes widen with surprise.

"Mmphf!" He tried to push me away.

Shit.

I suddenly realized what I was doing and quickly pull away. He panted trying to catch his breathe.

"I'm sorry; I didn't mean to do it. It's just, I don't know, I wasn't thinking straight." I tried to explain but didn't know how but when I looked into his eyes, I saw softness, instead of anger or fury or annoyance like I expected. Only a softness that I want to keep forever.

He nodded accepting my apology.

"Come on," I said after a while then pulled him into my room, removing my eye patch at the same time then settled us both down on my bed.

I turned sideways to him and watched carefully with my now two green eyes wondering why he wasn't angry. He should be, I mean, this is Yuu we're talking about.

His eyes narrowed and rolled sideways to look at me.

"I'm really sorry for what happened Yuu." I whispered.

He gazed at me for a long time, like considering what to say to me.

"Do you want to take back what you did?" he asked finally.

In that dark cold night, the ice in my heart melted when I saw his eyes, reflecting fear and sadness.

"No," I whispered. "I want to remember it forever." I answered truthfully and I knew he could see it in my eyes.

Then Yuu did something so unexpected, I nearly fainted. Under the blanket he reached out a hand to touch my cheek.

I froze in surprise.

His long slender fingers felt so smooth and cold against my cheek. My heart raced so fast, I was surprised he couldn't hear it.

He then leaned forward to me 'till out lips met and kissed me. My heart stopped but my body responded to the warmth he gave me. Unconsciously, I put my arms around his waist to pull him closer and then deepen our kiss.

"What are you doing Yuu?" I asked between kisses.

"I don't know." He answered.

I smiled. The smell of him so close to me, I've never felt happier. His kisses were soft yet firm; I look deep in his eyes and taught him to kiss with a little tongue.

Just like I expected, he didn't know how. I bit the bottom of his lips, waiting for him to open up but his teeth stubbornly get in the way.

"Yuu," I whispered.

"Wha-"I took the chance and slipped my tongue in. He looked at me surprised. I smiled then slowly he responded and our tongues danced in perfect rhythm.

Never in my life have my heart beaten so fast. I'm sure no one else could make me feel the way Yuu made me feel. The funny feeling formed in me again when we got tired and lay there gazing at each other. I hugged him close to me, the taste of him still linger in my mouth. I hid my face at the curve of his neck like always; I want us to stay that way forever.

"Yuu," I whispered into his hair.

"Hmn." He answered and his arms tighten around me 'till there was no space left between us. The warmth I felt that night in his arms was greater then the warmth of summer and fire.

We were sixteen. We were young and we were foolish. The funny feeling grew so strong in me; I don't understand. What the hell is going on?

Angels don't only bring happiness, they take them away too.

The smell of old books and papers were thick in the air of the library. My arms were full with books. Old panda was sitting there on the table writing furiously and shouting me to bring books for him.

"Do you have to be so harsh all the time?" I asked putting the books down in front of him.

"Shut up you lousy apprentice." He said without looking up.

Ouch.

"Thanks." I said walking away.

"Lavi," he called. I sighed and turned around.

He looked at me with such intense eyes, I knew he was about to say something I don't like.

"What?"

"You're not concentrating recently. Remember what I told you." He said referring to all the no feelings and no emotion stuff.

"Yeah, I know." I gritted my teeth.

"Don't get too close to Kanda. Don't forget that you're a bookman. There's no need for your heart."

He knew. I looked away, my hair covering my eye so he wouldn't see my face.

"Yes, I understand." I said then walked out of the library.

Yuu.

Is it wrong to have feelings for you? Why does God have to give me happiness then take away again? I walked towards my room and slammed my door closed. Inside, there was nothing but books and paper all around.

Yuu always complain about the mess. I went over to the bed and lay down. Yuu always ask me to wash the sheets because they always smell like me.

I stared at the ceiling. Life is so unfair.

I thought before falling asleep.

Take my hand; I can't win this battle without you.

"Be careful Yuu, there are more then we expected." I said holding my hammer firmly in my hands.

"Tell that to yourself." He said while slicing an Akuma.

We were somewhere in the centre of Europe. The mission was supposed to be simple but suddenly the Akumas doubled up. The village was all wrecked. Many died.

An Akuma hit me with its weapon. Luckily it doesn't contain its deadly poison. Blood ooze out slowly from my stomach.

That hurt.

"Grr," I growled. "You stupid thing, that hurts." I yelled at the Akuma before hitting him with my hammer shredding it to pieces.

"Ouch," I moaned. "Pain." I held my stomach.

"Stop whining baka usagi, now is not the time." Yuu yelled from a far.

I looked up to see his long hair flying furiously in the wind as he fought one Akuma after another.

Suddenly, he was right in front of me. A force hit him and his body fell forward. I reacted fast and caught him by the waist.

"What's wrong Yuu?" I asked frowning. Then I felt something warm seep through my fingers from where I was holding him. I looked down to see blood.

I turned back to Yuu, my eyes wide with surprise.

His eyes were closed and I tried to shake him awake.

"Yuu?!" I cried shaking his shoulders as I waved my hammer at those annonying Akumas who got too close.

"This is not cool, come on Yuu. Wake up, open your eyes." I said panicking.

His face twitched a little.

"Shut up you stupid rabbit." He groaned opening his eyes a little.

"Let's get outta here. Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot? What happened? How big is your wound?" I flung my questions on him as I killed a Akuma that got too close.

"Don't shout at my ear you moron." He said pushing me away and stood up weakly.

"Yuu, wa-"I didn't get to finish my sentence; the Akumas started to attack again.

He started to walk, a hand on his wound at his stomach while the other slice the Akumas with Mugen as he go. I watched blood stained his black and white coat then start dripping slowly, staining the ground.

Why do you always have to be so strong?

One by one, drops of blood fall.

After like half an hour or so, we finally finished all the Akumas left. I quickly ran to find him. I found him on the road back to our inn.

The sun had set long time ago. They were no stars or moon in the sky. The smell of war and blood was heavy in the air. I hate those smells.

"Yuu-chan, are you alright? I don't think you should walk." I said falling into steps beside him.

He waved my concern away and kept walking. I watched him carefully for awhile, noticing that he was still bleeding.

"Yuu-chan, you're bleeding." I stated quietly.

He turned around, a strand of hair caught between his lips and his face looked as pale as sheet.

"I can," he pointed to himself then shifted his finger to me. "You can't." I never knew a simple finger gesture could look so sarcastic.

"What? Don't bullshit with me. You feel pain too idiot." I argued.

"An Idiot calling another idiot." He mumbled.

I frowned at him.

"Che, you take a longer time to heal then me. I'll be fine in two days." He said coldly and continued to walk leaving me to stand there.

There and then, a funny feeling tugged my heart. I tried to remember what happened and truth hit me like truck.

He ran in front of me was actually to take that shoot when I was hurt. He didn't want my wounds to worsen. An emotion washed through me making my emotions sway.

Yuu's hair band suddenly snapped and his hair fell like curtain down his back. He stopped in his tracks and reached out unconsciously to touch the back of his head only to find loose strands. I heard him groan.

I walked up to him and touched his shoulder. He looked up at me and the time seemed to stop. His sapphire blue eyes were so deep and filled with pain, it actually made my chest hurt. A gust of wind blew harshly suddenly. His long black hair swayed and my own red hair waved.

That night, Yuu could never look prettier.

"Come on Yuu-chan. I'll take you back to the inn." I said softly.

"No need, I can return by myself." He looked away from my eye.

"Don't be stubborn now." I plead.

"No, just leave me to die." he refused flatly. I bit my lip and gripped harder on his shoulder to get his attention.

"I thought we promised not to fight anymore?" I asked softly.

He was silent for a few moments.

"Che," he spat.

"Yes, 'che'," I mimicked him. "'che' all you want." I said then gave him a piggyback ride on my back. He stopped arguing and let me carry him.

"Stupid rabbit." He mumbled at my ear.

I chuckled.

"After what you did for me, I won't let you go now." I said referring to what he did.

"Che, you're kinda smart for an idiot to figure that out."

"I am a bookman after all Yuu."

I felt him nod.

I continued to walk in silence. Yuu's long silky black hair hung around us and wave occasionally with the cold night wind.

I turned sideways to see his eyes were closed as though sleeping. He truly looked like a fallen angel.

Deep inside my heart I felt bittersweet. In that cold mid-November night, I've never felt warmer. I could smell the faint smell of his hair and trust me, I'm not exaggerating, I've never felt calmer.

"Thanks Yuu." I whispered.

"But don't ever do that again for I care for you more then anything in the world." I wondered if he heard me.

He shifted a little and leaned closer to me, resting his head against my cheek and neck.

I knew he heard me.

A hand reached out and tugged at my eye patch

"I hate this thing, I can't see your eye." He mumbled and I chuckled wondering if he knew what he was doing.

The warmth of his body against mine, the scent of his hair around me, the night felt so cold yet I felt so warm. The funny feeling start to flutter inside me again and I want the night to last forever when he circled his arms around my neck. When he mumbled my name, my heart nearly stopped. That is how Yuu makes me feel.

We were seventeen. We were young and we were foolish. Somehow, somewhere along the way I fell in love with him and our lives start to involve each other forming a bond that I'm sure a bookman should never have.
