Unsure Feelings: Chapter 6

By: RurouniGirl



Nagi took a deep breath before entering Omi's room. The blonde looked much better. All of the bruises were gone, the cuts all healed, and his throat was almost back to normal. The only thing that still remained was the long gash in his side.

Omi smiled pleasantly as he looked up from the book he was reading. "Hey, Nagi," he greeted cheerfully.

Nagi smiled. "Hey," he said. "You look much better."

Omi nodded his agreement. "Yep, and I feel much better to," he replied.

Nagi smiled and nodded as he changed the bandage on the side wound. When he was finished, he turned to leave, but then stopped. He turned back to Omi, looking as though he wanted to say something. He stood there for a minute just staring before turning and leaving the room.

Omi watched him leave, a puzzled expression on his face. 'What had Nagi wanted to say?' he wondered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nagi stood outside the door. 'Why hadn't he told Omi? Why? He had come so close and then he just backed away.'

He sighed as he headed toward the kitchen. Farf looked up as Nagi came in and shook his head. "You didn't tell him?" He said more as a statement than a question.

Nagi shook his head as he plopped into a chair. "No," he said. "I came so close to telling him, but then I just backed out of it."

Farf smiled and gave Nagi's shoulder a comforting squeeze. "It's all right to be scared, Nagi. It's natural. We're all afraid of being rejected, but that's the worst that will happen. He'll say no and it will be the same as it is now."

Nagi sighed. "I know," he said.

Farf smiled kindly. "Don't worry about it, kid. When the time's right you will be able to do what you want."

"What will Nagi be able to do?" Schuldich said cheerfully as he entered the kitchen and got a soda from the fridge.

"Nothing important," Farf said, grinning at up at the German man. Farf's grin was infectious and Nagi found himself grinning along with Farf.

Schu looked at the two grinning like idiots and a look of suspicion crossed his face. "Okay, what are the two of you up to?"

Nagi shook his head. "Nothing."

Schu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nagi then shrugged. "Okay, whatever you say. I'm going out for a while. I should be back in time for dinner."

"Okay," Nagi said. "Have fun."

Schu laughed and ruffled Nagi's hair affectionately as he left the room. Nagi grinned and turned back to Farf, smiling brightly.

"I think I'm going to talk to Omi," he said.

Farf smiled. "Good luck, kid."

Nagi smiled. "Thanks, Farf. For everything."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Omi looked up as the door to his room slowly swung open and Nagi once again entered the room. He smiled and motioned for Nagi to come over and sit on the edge of the bed.

Nagi closed the door and slowly crossed over to the bed. He sat down and then stood up and began to pace. Thoughts ran through his head. 'What would Omi say? How would he react?' He gave a start as Omi grabbed his wrist and pulled him down.

"Sit down, Nagi. You're gonna wear a hole in the floor."

Nagi smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I'm guess I'm just a little nervous."

Omi looked a little surprised. "Nervous? Why should you be nervous?"

Nagi gulped and took a deep breath. "Omi, I have to tell you something," he said. "This is hard for me, but it's something I have to do."

He looked up and the encouragement he saw shining in Omi's eyes was enough to make him continue. "I...I love you Omi. I always have."

He looked over and was surprised at what he saw. Omi was beaming and a tear was sliding down his cheek. Nagi reached up cautiously and wiped it away. Omi smiled as he caught Nagi's hand in his and stroked it loving.

"You don't know how much I was hoping you would say that," he said. "I've wanted to tell you how I felt for the longest time, but I didn't know how you felt, so I waited." He looked up into Nagi's surprised but happy face and smiled.

"You...you really love me?" he asked.

Omi nodded. "Yes I really love you," he said, laughing.

Nagi beamed, but then his smile turned into a frown. 'He still had to tell Omi about his past. What if Omi hated him after he found out what he had been?' He was torn between telling Omi and possibly ruining their relationship or not telling Omi. As he stood there debating, Farf's words echoed through his mind. "If he does hate you then he doesn't deserve you. You deserve better than that." He made up his mind. He had to tell Omi.

"There's something else I have to tell you," Nagi said, his voice quivering. "Something about my past."

Omi nodded in encouragement and Nagi proceeded to tell him about his past. About what he had been forced to do before Farfarello had rescued him. As he finished his story he expected Omi to be disgusted but, to his surprise, Omi had tears streaming down his cheeks. He wrapped his arms around Nagi and pulled him close.

"I can't believe that happened to you," he said. "You don't deserve this."

Nagi lifted his tearstained face and looked up at Omi. "Then, you don't hate me?"

Omi was surprised. "Why would I hate you? No, I'm angry with that man for doing what he did to you. You don't deserve it."

Nagi wiped his tears away and tried to smile. "That's all in my past now. I'm not going to live in my past anymore. Now, I'm looking toward the future."

He smiled and Omi smiled back leaning in and giving Nagi the first real kiss he'd ever head in his life.
