A Fable Story
Title: Little Sparrow
Words: 525 (21,252)
Warnings: Yaoi (Boy Love), fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, minor humor, character death, violence
Pairings: Reaver/Hiro; Lexal/Benn
Disclaimer: I've written enough of these stories for you guys to know that I only own Hiro. Reaver and the rest of what is in Fable belongs to those who made Fable… except for Lexal, kind of. The human form of him anyway.
Summary: Hiro is a young prince who struggles with having an older evil brother that has taken over the kingdom, a seemingly unrequited love, and little to no freedom. But when something seemingly impossible happens, binding him to the one he loves, things only go downhill from there when Logan takes advantage of new information and Hiro's life takes a major turn for the worse. The only question is… can he overcome what happens or will everything become too much for him to handle…?
A/N: So, I'm actually kind of really proud of this, even though I had no idea what I ended up doing in the last few chapters to make this... this. But uh, yeah, so... reviews would be much loved! (You guys are awesome~)
A/N 2: Okay, uh, I know it doesn't need to be said, but yes: this is the final update to Little Sparrow. So no more chapters will be added to this little story and I hope dearly you all enjoyed what you've read so far and this final update to the story.
A/N 3: And last but not least, I am finally taking requests for Reaviro! As I know that quite a few people have said that they enjoy this pairing of mine, and especially with Hiro and I know that I definitely enjoy writing for the crew of Fable! So yeah, if you guys have any ideas involving Reaviro, or perhaps even Benn and Lexal, or maybe a few other members of their little gang (Page, Kidd, Walter, etc.) just let me know, alright guys? *grins* Thank you guys so much for all of the support you've given me and once more, reviews are loved and help me to keep writing these stories for you amazing people!

"I'm so… proud of you…" Reaver whispered, arms wrapped around his lover, as they stood on the balcony that looked over the courtyard, where the people of Albion all were, each celebrating in their own way.
The castle renovations were well under way; Hiro had signed papers to start a project to restore the forests and the lakes and rivers of Albion; he used his own money to rebuild his mother's temple; and he finally started projects Logan had neglected when he became king, finally making things right in his kingdom.
"I hardly did anything…" Hiro muttered, not feeling happy despite it all, and Reaver knew why.
The ex-immortal sighed and let his forehead rest against Hiro's shoulder, "I'm sorry…" he whispered, feeling genuinely so.
"Why…?" Hiro deflated, closing his eyes, a frown on his face, "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because she never wanted you to know," Reaver answered, brushing his thumb over one of Hiro's hands, glad when he didn't pull away. "She wanted you to grow up with love in your heart for your brother, no matter his faults, but she also wanted you to have hope that there was good in the world, good that overshadowed the evil that seemed to be everywhere."
Hiro snorted and hung his head, clenching his fists, "Funny how that turned out. She's dead, my friends are in recovery, Walter is dead… and my brother is in the dungeons. What did she have to say about that, huh?"
"She doesn't have to say anything, little Sparrow," Reaver whispered, soft and low, and Hiro shivered, swallowing hard against the tears that wanted to spill.
"Fuck… I miss her… so much…" Hiro choked out and Reaver hugged the young king in his arms when the other turned around in them, burying his face into Reaver's coat. "I wish she was here…"
"I know…" Reaver cooed, brushing his lips against Hiro's forehead, before pulling back and away, though he still held onto the other, offering a gentle smile, "but you want to know what I think?" Hiro sniffled but tilted his head up a little and that was enough of an answer for Reaver to continue, "I think… that you're going to be a great king and that your mother would be proud, just like I am. And Hiro, there is something you should know… whenever you miss her, just know, she will always be with you," he hummed, and Hiro frowned, until Reaver moved his hand over Hiro's heart, "here, and here," he added, kissing Hiro's forehead again before pulling him in for a real kiss.
"It… it doesn't stop it from hurting…" Hiro whispered and Reaver smiled sadly.
"No, it doesn't, does it? But… I'm here, whenever you need me, and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I promise." Reaver told him and finally Hiro smiled, shaking his head with a little chuckle.
"Good… because I'm not letting you go…" he said, stubborn and he buried his face into Reaver's chest, blushing when Reaver laughed, loud and vibrant and happy.
"I'm counting on it," he answered, pulling Hiro up for one last kiss, "my little Sparrow."
