Yue clasped his hand around Keroberos' fingers with a smile, and the golden-haired being looked over, taking his eyes off the sunrise that was painting the sky with vibrant colors in front of them. He smiled slightly in return, enjoying how he was seeing this other side to Yue.
"Just like when we were little, hmm, Kero-chan?"
Keroberos tilted his head, blinking. Yue had always had a talent for reading his mind, and this time was no exception. He nodded silently, gazing from one beautiful sight - the sunrise, to another - Yue. Vaguely, Keroberos remembered the day that Yue was created.

He was still very young then, and didn't really understand why Clow had gotten so busy all of a sudden.. He didn't even have any time to play with his favorite guardian! It started to rain, and as much as the young angel tried to stand up to the thunder by yelling "You don't scare me, stupid thunder! NYAH!", he was still terrified of this new experience, and when he ran inside, there was another being like him. The other angel stood near Clow's bedroom, wearing white robes, his silvery hair almost brushing against the floor. Yue smiled shyly at him and looked down.
"Who're you?" Keroberos stopped, blinking. The other being looked just as confused.
"I'm not sure." He flexed his wings, looking at Keroberos with shy curiousity. "Who are you?"
"I'm Keroberos!" Keroberos puffed out his chest and grinned, causing Yue to giggle quietly. CClow walked up behind them and smiled.
"I see you've met Yue." He said softly.
"I thought you said your name was Keroberos." Yue said accusingly, narrowing his eyes at Keroberos, who blinked.
"I thought I was, too."
Clow laughed and kneeled down. "Keroberos, this is Yue. Your.. well, your little brother, in a sense."
"I have a little brother?" Keroberos' eyes grew to the size of saucers, and Clow nodded, chuckling.
"You have to take good care of him, Keroberos.. protect him. Promise?"
He nodded vehemently. "I promise! I'll take really good care of him! C'mon, Yue!" He grabbed the slightly confused angel's hand and yanked him outside to play in the rain, no longer afraid now that he had to protect his little brother.

Keroberos chuckled quietly to himself, remembering this for the first time in years. "Yeah.. just like when we were little."
"You know, you always did keep your promise."
"Hm?"
Yue smiled and kissed Keroberos' lips gently, settling back into his arms, forgetting all about Clow for a moment, enjoying the mixed warmth of the rising sun and Keroberos' body. "you've always taken good care of me, and protected me." He grinned. "Except when you tried to drown me." He teased.
"I told you, it was an -accident-! How was I supposed to know you couldn't swim?!" Keroberos sulked, glowering slightly until he saw that Yue was snickering. "....Brat."
Yue closed his eyes and sighed happily, and Keroberos could've fallen off the roof and still have been in the happy, love-sick daze that he was in at that moment. He wrapped his arms around Yue's slender hips and let out a contented murmur.
"Perhaps we should go down for breakfast.." Yue said quietly.
Keroberos jerked. He had forgotten about Clow Reed.. He was still their master, and apparently, he was Yue's lover as well. How could he possibly compete with Clow Reed, when he wasn't nearly as powerful as the sorcerer.. it would be something he'd bring up to Clow later..maybe he could grant Keroberos a little more power.. "Yeah, you're right." He stood up and pulled Yue to his feet, and they hopped off the roof, landing with a quiet 'thump' in the soft grass. Yue walked into the house, and Keroberos smiled faintly, lost in his memories once more. "I'll always protect you, Yue.. I promise." He murmured before following Yue into the mansion.
