Delirium


How many times has Akari been told that her dream is hopeless? By how many people? By this time, Mitarai Toukichirou—no, Akari—had long lost count.

But she so liked to envision herself as the helpless damsel in distress, with Kyo coming to save her on his gallant white horse, accompanied by his foot soldiers, Bontenmaru, Akira, and Hotaru (no matter how unhappy the flame-user was to be one).

But then Akari would jerk back to reality and watch Yuya scream at Kyo for stealing her wallet yet again. She would watch his stoic face soften into a subtle smile that no one but Akari would notice. She had seen that smile only a couple times over the years that she had known Kyo—it meant something, it meant that he was happy, it meant that he liked having this Yuya around.

It didn't mean that he loved her.

At least, that's what Akari would like to think.
Author's Notes: I hadn't realised I had an inner Kyo x Yuya shipper… (And before people start asking—yes, I know Akari is a man.)
