Summary: Fifty scenes from a story unwritten, with one fact reversed: what happens when the Gentle Darkness is not gentle?

That one looks like master's hair. Johan adjusted himself on the cushions and stared up at the clouds as they drifted by. Haou would return soon, but until then, he had little else to do. He'd trained for four hours earlier, working himself into sweat-streaked exhaustion, and after a quick bath, he had only to wait until his master returned from inspecting newly enrolled troops.

He checked the cloud out. Yes, it did indeed remind him of his master's hair. Not in color, of course, but the shape of it. He smiled; he hadn't watched the clouds for pictures since he was a child.

"What are you doing, Johan?"

"Watching the clouds. You can see things in them if you look the right way. Didn't you ever try it?"

"I've got better things to do than stare at the clouds. And so do you."

"Relax, Edo. You'll go crazy if you don't take a break now and then."

Johan blinked for a moment, confusion tingeing his expression before the half-formed memory faded away into the mists of his mind. It was better that he watch the clouds and wait for his master anyway. He breathed in and out, the clouds his only focus for the moment. The clouds and his master.

The one cloud drifted out of sight and was replaced by another, somewhat larger. Johan watched it, trying to figure out just what it reminded him of. Evil Hero Inferno Wing, he decided, his fancy catching sight of the way the puffiness folded into what could be seen as wings.

Many times had he fallen because of that monster, the powerful effect depleting the last of his life points. He knew he would never be good enough to defeat his master, but the harder he trained against him, the more skilled he became against other opponents, and that made his master even more pleased with him.

Another cloud teased by and this one stirred up a deeper thought. Rainbow Dr…Rainbow Dark Dragon. Of course Dark Dragon. What other kind would there be? His beloved Advanced Gem Beasts, his family, the only beings that mattered to him other than his master. He tilted his head back to see the deck box on the table just out of the light. They were resting now, after all the dueling earlier. He'd call to them later.

He turned his gaze to the clouds once more. Master would be back soon and he had to be ready. Master would want to have fun with him. Johan shivered all over, anticipating what would come. He could all but feel master's arms around him, pressing him down into the soft bed, hear whispered words of passion that stirred his own desires…

Johan's lips twitched and widened into a smile as he saw another cloud pushed and pulled by the winds he couldn't feel. This shape was easy to see and sent hot desire slicing through his veins.

Master. He wished that the cloud would stay long enough for his master to see it. He wasn't sure if Haou would believe it otherwise.

But it looked like what it looked like. He knew that shape intimately, after all. He couldn't mistake it.

He licked his lips, imagining once again his beloved master's chill embrace. He watched the cloud; it wasn't a perfect representation, he knew, but it was close enough to get his fantasies drifting into some interesting directions.

Johan breathed in as cold fingers brushed against the back of his head and he turned to see Haou kneeling beside him on the expanse of cushions, that enticing and wicked smile on his lips.

"Master…" He rolled over to nuzzle against Haou, shivering at the touch of the icy flesh. Then he rolled back around and gestured up. "Do you see what I see up there?"

Haou gave only a brief glance before he pulled Johan closer to him. "Clouds, Johan. They're just clouds." Johan knew from his voice that his master wasn't interested in flights of fancy, but he wanted to show him this much at least.

"It's what you can see in the clouds, master." He inched himself up until he could whisper into Haou's ear and told what he saw there. Haou's lips bent into a small smile.

"If that's what you want to see, then I can arrange that." And he pulled Johan closer.

The End
