I personally think this piece wasn't done as well as previous ones :P But I hope you would all accept it as Yuu's birthday present. I feel bad for writing a 'not perfect enough' piece for Yuu X) But you can be the judge and tell me! I don't own.

Mugen: Sixth Illusion— Kanda Yuu

Rabi adjusted his eye patch, straightened it out so it covered his right eye in a more comfortable position. He searched for the code on the spine of the book, indicating where he could place it back to.

Walking along the aisles of the library, his single eye danced back and forth between the names and numbers, he was looking for just the right place.

And then he heard the door opening. He didn't look up; knowing full well who it was that has entered. His eye caught sight of an empty space in between two books, he recognized it, it was exactly where this book belonged to.

Slipping it in, he heard quiet footsteps approaching him. An easy grin slipped to his lips as he stood up and turned to the other.

"Yuu!"

"Don't call me that, Rabi." Kanda narrowed his eyes and took a step back, attempting to maintain the distance between them despite how long they have been together.

"Do you seriously want me to call you, Kanda?" Rabi gave a look of surprise and horror. Yuu didn't say anything just rolled his eyes at the forever changing emotions on Rabi's face. He gave a laugh before tugging at the other's shirt, leading him deeper into the library.

"Come on, I want to give Yuu your present first." He grinned happily as he brought Kanda to a corner, surrounded by books of all genres.

"But Moyashi needs your help in the cafeteria." Kanda followed, not bothering to struggle.

"It's your special day though!" Rabi pouted plopping down on to the ground.

"You are not me." He pointed out as Rabi sat him down on a small couch; he pulled out a book from beneath him and tossed it to the growing pile around them.

"Of course, I could never be as pretty as Yuu." He laughed, receiving a small punch to his chest. Kanda glared at the other and as he retreats his hand, Rabi reached out and took a hold of it. With such a simple action suddenly a serious tone was brought to the room.

"Yuu." Kanda looked at him and waited, sensing something didn't feel quite right.

"For your birthday," Rabi still had that similar grin on his face but Kanda could see that his mask has slipped, he was no longer Rabi. And then his grip tightened on Kanda's hand. "I want to give you me."

"I don't want you, Rabi." Kanda pointed out in a flat tone of voice. Rabi shook his head with a small laugh. "I am not giving you Rabi, I am giving you me."

"Me as in, Bookman Junior."

"Get real, Rabi." Kanda frowned at the proposal and shook his head.

"I am not joking." The other was taken back by his voice, it didn't hold his usual happiness, everything felt as though he was held down, pinned and trapped.

"I am not worth it." Kanda replied, closing his eyes.

"I can give my life for you." He countered although he sounded empty, but yet he whispered it as though his life depended on it, he said it with all the emotions he had.

"Rabi, you are the future Bookman, don't toss it all away for someone like me." He wanted to push the other away but somehow he simply couldn't find it in himself to do so.

"I want to be yours." Rabi looked up and stared intently into the icy blue orbs of the other, waiting patiently for a reply. Maybe Yuu will reject him, but he could no longer sit still and wait to become a Bookman. He wanted to live his life by his own rules. He wanted to be with Yuu.

"Take it?" He held out his other hand and offered, small smile painted on his face.

He didn't reply; just hesitantly lay his other hand into Rabi's open palm.

"Let's be together, for an entire life time, Yuu." He whispered gently as he pulled the other in for an embrace. Kanda didn't struggle; he didn't push the other away either. He just fell into the other's open arms like he had placed his hand into his.

Rabi didn't promise him the impossible; he only promised him what he could give.

"You talk too much." Kanda murmured into Rabi's neck, he didn't know why but he just couldn't let go, Kanda gripped back with an equally strong hold. Their fingers were laced together, intertwined and unable to become free.

Kanda didn't believe in promises, he only accepted what happened now.

And what happened now was a promise for their future.

"Happy Birthday."

"Che, you are so cheap."

I just had to end it with the infamous Che XD If you didn't get it; it meant that Rabi has given up the position of Bookman Junior so he could be with Yuu. Was it sweet enough? I hope it didn't seem too rushed!! But June 6th has finally arrived:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUU-CHAN!!
