~Beginning~
Gazelle walked in the clearing of the forest and sighed, Kidou had managed to calm Shuuya down so easily, it annoyed him how close the two were getting.
'As if they were mates.'
Are they though? Or is just a really strong bond?
'Shuuya... I'll protect you from anything, wether it hurts you physically or emotionally'
He heard a scream and rapidly flew over to the source, shocked to see Burn in devil form fighting a bear, he was clearly losing.
'Idiot.'
Gazelle would normally laugh at Burn's misery, but something tugged his heart, forcing him to go help, he shouted.
"Guardian Blade!"
He flew forward and whacked the bear, the animal landed on a tree, then ran off, Gazelle shouted.
"Coward!"
He then furiously turned around to face a shocked Devil.
"You idiot! What were you trying to do?! Kill yourself?!"
Burn got angry, but before he could say anything Gazelle continued.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! Don't scare me like that you baka! What would happen if you got hurt?! What would I do then?!"
...
...
...
...
...
"You're... worried for me?"
Gazelle widened his eyes then turned away.
"Don't say stuff like that you baka, I wasn't worried for you."
'I just didn't want you to get hurt.'
Gazelle widened his eyes, where did that come from?
Burn got up and stared at Gazelle concerned.
"You would normally just let me get hurt, not help me."
"It would be dishonorable if I just left you like that."
"Dishonorable?"
"Sigh never mind, it's a Guardian angel thing, you wouldn't understand."
Silence came upon them, they didn't know what to say, what could they say?
"..."
"..."
Burn sighed then turned to walk off, but he heard something, growling
'Another one'
It was true, a tiger came out of the bushes growling at the two, Gazelle stiffened and Burn smirked.
"Heh, something else to fight."
Before Gazelle could process what Burn meant by that the Devil ran forward and fire punched the tiger, dealing a reasonable amount of damage, but the tiger didn't seem interested in him, he was interested in the Guardian, Burn thought Gazelle would be able to defend himself, but was shocked by how slow Gazelle was reacting and how terrified he looked.
"GAZELLE MOVE!"
Gazelle didn't listen, he couldn't listen, he was far too scared to.
The tiger jumped forward and landed on Gazelle, now the tiger was on top and Gazelle was underneath.
"GAZELLE!"
Burn ran forward when Gazelle screamed and punched the tiger out of the way, he grabbed Gazelle bridal style and ran, he didn't care where, just away from the tiger.
It was starting to rain, Burn knew of the angels weakness with water, he needed to find shelter quickly, luckily there was a cave that they could stay in, he placed the panicking Gazelle down and shook him.
"Gazelle snap out of it! See? There's no tiger here."
"N-no... T-tigers?"
"Yes Gazelle, there aren't any tigers here."
Gazelle calmed down quickly, then angrily pushed Burn.
"BAKA WHY DID YOU ATTACK THE TIGER?!"
Burn grew angry, he was just trying to help Gazelle.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE SUCH A SCAREDY CAT!"
"I AM NOT A SCAREDY CAT!"
"WELL YOU SEEMED PRETTY SCARED WHEN THAT TIGER CAME BY!"
"THAT DOESN'T COUNT! I WOULDN'T BE SCARED OF THEM IF IT WEREN'T FOR-!"
But Gazelle stopped there, refusing to continue, Burn grew more concerned.
"Nothing, it's raining, I'll stay here, you can go home."
"Why hell do you think I'll leave you here alone?"
"We're rivals."
"So? That doesn't mean we can't help each other, you helped me when I was getting attacked by the bear and I helped you when you were attacked by the tiger."
"That's different our lives were at risk"
"Yeah and when it rains your life is at risk too"
"..."
"I'm staying here, we don't know how long the rain will last and I don't want you to go and starve to death."
"..."
They were both silent, the only noise that could be heard was the rain
...
...
...
...
A growl was heard, but it wasn't an animal
...
...
...
...
It was Burn's stomach.
Burn blushed instantly with embarrassment, rubbing the back of his neck and laughing nervously.
"I'll go get us something to eat, I'll be back soon."
"How do you know you'll be back soon?"
Burn smirked then pointed at his nose with his thumb.
"With this thing I'll find food in no time, just one question, would you rather have meat or fruit?"
"Um... I'm fine with either."
"Whatever you say."
Burn left, leaving Gazelle alone, it was fine for a while, but then Gazelle started feeling uneasy, he needed Burn here right now, anyone really, just so he wasn't alone, he hated being alone, he was too stubborn to admit it though, but after 30 minutes of sitting he started feeling all the more terrified.
'He didn't leave me right? He'll be back.'
'Will he really?'
'Shut up conscience!'
'You can't tell me to shut up, I'm you and you're me.'
'So if I shut up you shut up?'
'...'
Gazelle sighed, he couldn't amuse or distract himself like this, he felt all of his fears coming back, he needed someone.
He needed someone to turn to.
He needed someone he could trust.
He needed someone he can lean on.
He needed Burn.
"BURN!"
He shouted the name before he knew what hit him, he was crying, he was terrified.
But then.
"Gazelle! Are you okay?!"
Gazelle looked up and saw the devil, he was carrying meat and fruit with him, along with a bowl filled with water, Gazelle stood up and ran to him, hugging him and crying, whimpering.
"Don't leave me alone again, don't leave me alone."
Burn was confused and shocked, he had never seen Gazelle cry before, much less actually go to him and say 'Don't go' whilst hugging him, he liked the feeling he wouldn't lie, he placed down the food and hugged Gazelle back protectively.
"Gazelle you're not alone, I'm here, see? I'm here."
After a few minutes of Gazelle's breakdown they slowly let go of each other, they stared into each other's eyes they were leaning closer and closer, however Gazelle suddenly widened his eyes, blushed a light blue and turned away, he stuttered out.
"I-I don't think I'm r-ready for that Burn..."
Burn nodded in understanding, obviously something was stopping Gazelle from wanting to be in any relationship, he would comfort Gazelle and be with him until the time was right.
"Want to eat?"
"Sure."
Gazelle went with fruit and Burn ate some meat, tearing it apart and chewing it gratefully, Gazelle slowly and neatly ate the fruit, whilst drinking some water, he looked at Burn and thought.
'He can't be, can he?'
