"Falling into love"

I

People call it "falling in love" for a reason…

Soubi was thrust backward, shoes scraping along the dirt. Instead of moving out of harm's way, Ritsuka surged forward and grabbing his hips ceased the skid.

"Ritsuka" Soubi said, surprised for no one ever jumped into the fray to help him before. His sacrifice did not respond, but stepped back giving him space to finish the battle.

And finish he would. With a fresh surge of will he spoke low "Restrain". The opposite sacrifice was bound by more chains. "Come on, just finish him!" the black-haired teen growled to his fighter, tossing away his broken glasses.

"Tear!" the younger fighter shouted in exasperation. "Deflect" Soubi spoke, then "Flatten".

"Fukui-chan!" the teen shouted to his fallen partner, rushing to his side as the veil fell and regularity surrounded them.

"Are you okay Soubi?" Ritsuka gently questioned. Though he had grown accustomed to spell battles, he still did not like that Soubi was hurt to protect him. The other two walked away, fighter holding his sacrifice up as they did so.

"Yes I am Ritsuka. You weren't hurt, were you?" The boy shook his head, dark locks tossed by the wind meanwhile. Soubi touched his cheek "You're cold, we should leave". His sacrifice nodded.

As they walked to his apartment, the boy moved closer to his larger form. Looking on Ritsuka with great affection, he put an arm over his shoulder.

Their eyes met and Ritsuka smiled nervously, moving closer. His arm curved around the man's back.

- The fighter was ordered to love this boy, but with a push, he fell into love. This was no longer about following orders. With time, it was no longer about his master Seimei.

Today all that existed was the yearning to do everything for this boy, and protect him to his last breath.
