Only Eyes For You | Hakuryuu
Hakuryuu was walking through the corridors of God Eden, his thoughts with the event that was going to happen soon.
"Hakuryuu," a delicate yet harsh voice called out to him.
He blinked and focused on the girl in front of him. She gave him a cold look as she tapped her foot in impatience.
"Do you need anything?" he asked, frowning.
"A boy is here. Says that he need to speak with the captain of Zero," she answered, her face not betraying anything.
"Now?"
"Preferably," she said, tapping her fingers against her side.
He nodded and wanted to walk further, but he stopped after one step, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Are you here to become a SEED?" he asked, not looking at her.
"No, I'm here to water the flowers," she answered, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Fair enough," he snorted, "What's your name anyway?"
"[L/n] [F/n]," she said while tilting her head slightly, a frown clear on her face.
"I see," he said thoughtfully, "I shall remember that, [L/n]."
"If it matters to you," she said, shrugging.
He huffed to hide a chuckle, continuing on his way. Things might turn more interesting with that girl, and if you added Tsurugi to that as well, things might actually become bearable.
Things didn't go like he hoped it had. Sure, Unlimited Shining had won from Raimon, but before they could've been taken to the training grounds, that Endou Mamoru had shown up with some of his old friends. They had rescued the crushed and wounded Raimon, much to Hakuryuu's chagrin. Tsurugi had really become a soft-hearted weakling. And then, then Zero's match happened. Hakuryuu still wasn't entirely sure how it ended up like it did, but even though Raimon had lost with twelve to zero from Unlimited Shining, they had managed to tie with Zero, both teams having scored five goals. It was strange. As he thought back to it, it really had been an odd match. Near the end the adults suddenly joined, and then what Kibayama Douzen had said.
"If you guys lose this match, you don't deserve to live!"
Ridiculous, really. But when you're fourteen years old, it's a harsh thing to get flung to your head. But somehow, both Tsurugi's and Shuu's words had reached him. And, he had been released from this 'curse'.
He was walking one last time through the corridors of God Eden's training centre. That was when he saw the girl, [L/n] [F/n], leaning against the wall, her arms crossed and eyes closed, an almost serene expression on her face.
Her eyes snapped open however when she sensed his approach.
"Seems like I don't even get to water the flowers," she said, smirking slightly.
"Such a shame," Hakuryuu said, shaking his head slightly and trying – but failing – to restrain a smile.
"So what happens next?" she asked, pushing herself away from the wall.
"I don't know. Getting off this island first I suppose," he shrugged, "After that … I'll see then."
"I see," she said thoughtfully, "Mind if I tag along? I mean, I don't really have anywhere else to go anyway."
"Hah?" he eyed you from tip to toe, "You actually want to come with me?"
"You know," she shrugged, "to water some flowers every there and then."
"How many times are you going to use that joke?" Hakuryuu asked, raising an eyebrow.
She shrugged, smirking slightly. "Oh I don't know, until I get bored with it."
"Great," he rolled his eyes, "Ah, but if you really want to come, then that's fine by me."
She smiled, eyes glinting. "Glad you'll let me."
"-kuryuu, Hakuryuu!" you called out to him.
The guy had been spacing off as the two of you were sitting on a terrace. He blinked and turned towards you as if he only just realized that four years had passed since then.
Yes, that's true. Four years since the match of Zero versus Raimon. And in those four years you and Hakuryuu haven't been apart for longer than a day.
"Hm? Is something wrong, [L/n]?" he asked, straightening up again while giving you his full attention.
"No, but you were spacing out. You never space out," you said, frowning slightly as you stirred your drink with a straw.
"I suppose," he looked at your glass for a moment before looking at you again, "I was just thinking of our meeting, and the matches against Raimon."
You kept quiet for a moment, thinking your answer over. "Are you still bothered by that man's words?"
"You mean Kibayama's words?" he asked.
"Who else's?" you said, slightly annoyed.
"Well, many people talked on that day, you know," he huffed in defence.
"That may be, but I meant Kibayama's, yes," you hissed.
He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Then just mention that from the start."
"Hakuryuu."
"Yes?" he tilted his head in slight confusion.
"Just answer my damn question!" you growled, stabbing the straw viciously in your drink.
"Fine, fine. Calm down already," he said, frowning at your behaviour, "I might still be slightly bothered by his words."
"Idiot," you said, your face a cold mask.
"What!?" he yelled, standing up and slamming his flat palms on the table. The slam made other people look up from their lunches and turn both annoyed and questioning faces in your direction.
Hakuryuu didn't care though as he stared down at you. Your eyes had become small slits, glaring back at him with as much deadly intent as you could muster (and that was quite a lot).
"See, this only proves it," you hissed, "Idiot."
"I am not an idiot!" he growled, his red eyes glowing.
"Obviously you are, seeing the way you have attracted the attention of this entire café. Now sit down." you stated dryly.
He let out another growl before taking out some money from his pocket and throwing it on the table. Then, he grabbed you wrist – and with a twist and a pull you were out of the chair – and he was dragging you out of the café.
"Hakuryuu, what the hell do you think you're doing?" you hissed when you were out on the street and he was still dragging you along.
"We need to talk somewhere private," he said, not looking at you.
After a while of walking, you managed to twist your arm out of his grasp in an alleyway, stopping the moment you did.
He stopped a few steps further, slowly turning to look at you.
"This is private enough. What do you want to talk about?" you said, masking out any emotion in your voice.
"Do I deserve to live?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
You stared at him and opened your mouth, but the words wouldn't come out. He did deserve to live. Everyone deserves too, at least until they fuck it up. But then, still every life was what, holy? That's what they say, right? You sighed.
"Hakuryuu," you started, but didn't know how to continue. You closed your eyes to try and come up with the right words, but instead you shook your head and walked up to him.
He looked up and into your eyes, you sighed and flashed him a lopsided grin before bringing your arms around him and pulling him in a hug.
He stood there frozen for a moment before placing his arms around you and pulling you closer, hiding his face in your hair.
The two of you stood there for a quite a while before you moved your head a bit, giving you room to speak.
"Hakuryuu, I don't care what others think and say and you almost never do too, but I believe you deserve to live. Especially you. Without you, I don't – I would've withered away," you murmured, loosening your grip on him a bit.
He moved back to see your face without breaking the hug completely.
"You're not a flower, [L/n]. You are far stronger than some flower. You would never wither away. Not in my eyes," he said, tilting his head slightly.
You blinked and stared at him, not completely sure what to think. But before you even realized it, you both leaned forward and your lips met.
He pulled you closer once more as you clung onto his shirt more tightly again, your lips moving together.
When you broke apart again, both slightly out of breath, you simply stared into each other's eyes.
"You still are an idiot though," you said, a smirk tugging at your lips.
"As that may be, I am you idiot now," he answered.
"Oh good gracious," you rolled your eyes, "what have I gotten myself into this time?"
"Love," he said before kissing you again. You snorted before kissing him back.
Fin~
Okay, I feel like everything is OOC and halfway through I started watching The Ultimate Bonds Gryphon again (as you probably noticed) And I'm going to hide under a rock somewhere, okay? A rock in Germany, because coming weekend I'm going to Deutschland! So I won't be able to update then... Just so you know.
Thank you again and love y'all! Have a nice week and such!
Laters!
