Clow sighed, closing his eyes, trying in a way to remember the way that it felt to have the warmth of another body next to his own. He gently nudged Keroberos' flank, hearing "Mmnn..wai.. pudding!"
"..Wake up, Keroberos."
"Mm.." The tawny creature slowly stood up and stretched, arching his back, looking to Yue. He looked up at Clow as if to see if he should wake his ototo up as well. Clow shook his head.
"Go on to bed. Let him sleep."
"Yes, master." He padded through the grass gently, walking through the back door of the mansion, leaving Clow and Yue alone in the garden. Kneeling down, Clow gently took the lithe body into his arms, feeling Yue's head fall limply against his chest. Clow cradled him for a moment, watching how the moonlight played upon his skin like that. He sighed again, kissing Yue's forehead before beginning the trek inside. As they were in the corridor, Clow felt Yue's arms wrap around him and jumped in shock, but then he noticed that the being was still fast asleep.
"I love you, Clow-sama.." Came a soft whisper from within the pale rose lips, and Clow's knees buckled beneath him. He must've been dreaming.. Yue would never love him. Gently, he lay Yue in the bed, pulling the covers over the angel, running a hand over the folded wings with a sigh. He sank down into a chair near Yue's bed and held his forehead in his hand, tears dripping down onto his lap as he cried softly. He felt like he was going insane, and all because of this creature that he created.. As he cried, sleep overcame him and he stayed, eyes closed, head slumped forward, next to Yue's bedside.
In the morning, Yue yawned and stretched, his eyes staring groggily at the figure beside his bed. His head cocked to one side and gently, he brushed some of Clow's hair out of his face, smiling a little, a wistful look in his eyes. "Mmnn...Yue.." Clow murmured in his sleep, causing the angel to take a step back, blinking.
"Master.. are you awake?" He asked softly, wings fluttering ever-so-slightly. Was it possible that the great sorcerer Clow Reed loved him? No. Never. Clow would never love him..How could you love someone that wasn't even human? Yue sighed, brushing his lips across Clow's cheek, his voice barely audible in Clow's ear. "I love you." He stood, tying his robes and brushing back his long platinum hair, tying it back in the ponytail he usually wore it in, looking at himself in the mirror with slight critism. He didn't know why everyone made such a big deal. He wasn't beautiful..not very much, anyway..A shy smile stole his face as he admired himself in the mirror slightly.
"You're beautiful."
Yue gasped and turned around, seeing his master's eyes upon him intently. "I.. master.."
"I heard you last night, Yue.." With a slight grunt, Clow pulled himself out of the chair, feeling his spine snap back into place, and he made a mental note never to sleep in that position again. "Is it true?" He strode to where the angel was, watching a tremble run through the soft white feathers of Yue's wings. Clow smirked faintly, holding Yue's chin in his hand, tilting his face upwards. "Iie.. but you will never be mine, beautiful creature... Don't forget that I am the master.."
Yue turned his eyes downward. "Yes, master." He murmured. "I'm sorry.." He frowned for a moment. "What do you mean, I will never be yours?"
Clow didn't answer, but he had a matching frown on his lips. "I created you to be without emotion.. yet you speak of love. You mean the love for a being and its master, correct?"
The voice sounded choked in its reply. "No." Yue wrenched himself out of Clow's grip, afraid he would be hit, or worse, be kicked out of Clow Reed's mansion forever, forced to wander the world alone for all eternity. Clow sighed and looked down.
"I never thought it would happen.." He murmured, half to himself. Yue looked up, brow furrowed in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Yue asked, suddenly feeling Clow's arms holding him tightly. Clow smiled and ran his index finger over Yue's lips before kissing them, feeling an onrush of emotion as something between the two connected and for the moment, both felt a feeling of completeness that was never there before. "Master.." Yue stammered, not really sure what was going on. Clow rested his forehead against Yue's with a sigh.
"You will never be mine, will you, Yue?"
"I.. I'd like to be.." He said quietly, his eyes portraying only innocent love. Clow chuckled softly.
"Is that your wish?"
"It is."
"Then so be it." He drew Yue back into his arms and kissed him again, parting his lips against the soft flesh, feeling feathers brush against his cheek as Yue's wings curled around the two of them, his arms wrapped up at Clow's shoulders. Clow smiled faintly as he felt Yue nearly melting in the embrace, and he whispered "watashi no tenshi...I love you.."
