Will you Notice
Part Eight
Kuroganes gasp as he wakes from his sleep. He sit up quickly needing to move, and feeling unsettled. He looks around his room confused and unsure of where he should be.
The room is filed with the moon's light. He isn't sure, but he feels the light is dimming, retreating from the room. He shake his head, telling himself that it was only his imagination . . .
He hears the light chiming of bells then.
"Neither could any one or anything satisfy your regret."
Slowly he brings his hand to his cheek and notices that his fingers feel stiff and swore, they're hard to move. Hesitantly his fingers grace his cheeks, feeling dried tear tacks on his cheek. He blinks, feeling the dryness of his eyes.
He slouches and turns to the open shoji screen doors and gazes at the moon.
He stays like that for a moment.
Wearily he start to move again. He gets to his feet and walks out on to the hall, bear foot and weaponless. He takes his time as he walks through the halls. His breathing is slow as his steps are, but his hands tremble slightly and his heart beats quickly, nervously.
Fai is there. His sleeping, breathing softly. He is just lying there. He can feel himself release a breath he had not known he was holding. Fai is still there. He tells himself, it had only been a dream. It had to have been.
After what seems like hours to him, he finds himself out side one of the guest bed rooms. He slides open the door gently as not to make a sound. For a moment he hesitates.
Fai isn't in his futon.
The Magician is found with his knees to his chest, arms warped around them defensively with his head resting on his knee caps.
He is not a sleep.
Kurogane closes the door behind him.
He reaches over, fingers barely grasping Fai's hair.
Fai's head shoots up right away. When he recognizes the face he quickly moves away.
For a moment Kurogane wavers again, but it's gone in an instant.
He carefully takes Fai by his shoulder and brings him closer. He warps his arms around the blond. Fai struggles against this, but before he can say anything Kurogane pins him to the floor with his body.
Surprised by this Fai doesn't speak. Just looks up at the ninja. Silently he asks Kurogane his question.
The darker mans lowers himself even more, he rest his head on the crock of Fai's neck. After he has breath in Fai's familiar scent, he can feel himself relax, something that he had not been able to do since he came back. He wants to bury himself in Fai's hair, arms . . . everything. How could he have even though of letting him go.
He lift his lips to Fai's ear.
He whispers, "Don't ever let me, let go of you"
A/n: Hey, So yeah, that's pretty much it. This is the story I wanted to write when I started in writing 'Think of Me' but it just didn't work then. I'm thinking of doing like a small epilog but that might be a while since I'm going to go finish off 'Expectation of Approval" now, I've been writing that one for too long now.
Any way, Review and let me know what you thought.
