AN: How's this? Can you believe what I've done? I swore I posted this chapter and MONTHS later my sister asks me why I quit the story @_@ I SWORE that I posted this. Oh well. ^_^;;; I hope you're enjoying them nonetheless. It seems the only way I can fit yaoi in lately is the flashbacks, but I put in comments from Gaignun every once in a while, I hope it's not disappointing you *snifflez* But in this one there was actually a scene where you don't know what Rubedo was doing all night! Oh no, what if I make them terribly out of character?! Oh well...What opportunities, I don't think it happens again for the rest of the game, I'm takin' the chance...oh yaaaa....things are gonna happen toniiight
Gaignun: I love Rubedo! I confess!
Everyone else: . . .
Jr.: OMG WTF?!
Err...except that. That won't happen -.-;;;
Chapter 5: Prerequisite of Profession
"Hey, Gaignun. I just came to drop some stuff off , okay?" Rubedo said as he entered my room. I looked up from my writing and turned my chair to face him. I don't usually get time to speak to Rubedo alone since talk of U-DO arose once more. At least we haven't talked about anything but U-DO.
"Jr." I called. He looked up from the box he was packing things into.
"Huh? Something bothering you, what's goin on?" Rubedo said, getting up. I should have known he'd notice.
"Rubedo...you're having bad visions of the past, aren't you?" I said calmly. Rubedo froze slightly.
"Ya, I have. They're pretty vivid too. They're about..." He paused.
"I know." I said, "I've been having them too." I looked out my window, "Rubedo, would it trouble you to take some time to go on a walk with me?" He looked up at me and it only took him a few seconds to agree. Before we knew it, we were in an abandoned room gazing out the window into the stars. The actual walk was nothing, all we talked about was U-DO and Albedo but as I stared at the stars my mind wandered to places I usually never let it go. Rubedo turned towards me.
"Something else is on your mind..." He said, also lost in the stars. I briefly looked at his dreamy gaze then back to the stars as well.
"Isn't it strange? We have come so far in modern advancements, moved on and on through the universe, and have gone further than our ancestors could ever of dreamt of but...the star still bring serenity to a human's soul...why?" Rubedo looked at me a silently laughed.
"That's a weird thing for you to ask. You're starting to sound like a confused kid. Our emotions are no different than humans, should know that." He chuckled. I smiled too.
"We cling to what we remember but we know so little. No one can know everything." I said.
"Hey, you're confusing me now, what are you trying to prove?" Rubedo said, leaning his back against the window now. I turned towards him slightly, focusing on his bright blue eyes.
"The phrase that mentions people's eyes alight like a star...that's a compliment, is it not? Everywhere I look there are stars and artificial earth...perhaps..." I gently took Rubedo's jaw and turned his head toward me, looking into his eyes.
"I don't know how to describe you Rubedo. Possibly comparing anything else to you would be a more sufficient compliment...don't you think?" I smiled.
"Gaignun? What are you saying?" Rubedo said quietly. My hand slipped from his face but our eyes were still concentrated on each other as I got up, away from his warmth. I shouldn't tell him. Not the way the world is going. It's not right.
"Don't worry about it, I'm just ranting because I'm stressed out, that's all." I said confidently with a sigh. I would never force Rubedo to do anything, but then suddenly I felt a tug on my shirt. I looked back at Rubedo who has a distressed look about him, one I haven't seen on him for a long time.
"I need to you tell me..." He said. He needed me to? Maybe his visions were worse than I thought...since I wasn't actually the one who...
"Rubedo...I..." I began, but the words were hard to say. Love is such a strong meaningful word. Was it my place to say it to him?
"Say it Gaignun. I know I'm acting a bit weird lately but you're acting even more weird, you need to get it out already." Rubedo said impatiently. That was more like the Rubedo I knew. Quick to the point, who needs the mushy stuff?
"I love you, Rubedo and I always have." I said serenely. Rubedo halted briefly, getting everything straight in his head.
"I see..." He smirked, "Now that is interesting." Rubedo turned away from me quietly and I didn't know what to think. This entire time I was expecting him to say, 'I don't have the same feelings' or 'I love you as a brother' but this was unusual. All I had ever been frightened of him saying, all those thought I bundled up inside were all a joke now. I can't believe it all came down to this.
"Gaignun..." Rubedo said, I looked at him with a more relieved look this time, I wasn't sure what he was about to tell me. I almost felt like a child being scolded but knowing the mother would not harm me, "I think I get that what you've said was hard to say so I'm not gonna push it in your face just yet. I'll admit, I don't think it's right." Rubedo said. I nodded and quickly I kneeled down and gave him a kiss. No forehead this time, I didn't have time to bother with anything but his lips. I obviously took him by surprise, and I could tell he was embarassed. How adorable. It was a pleasant feeling.
"That's all I need." I said, parting our lips and smoothing his soft hair, "Is there anything I can help you with before you leave again?" Rubedo scanned my content face and nodded.
"Hey, you know I can't say anything cool like you. You ain't getting anything else outta me." Rubedo said, returning to his old self. I was fine with that. I had everything I wanted. All I had to do now is wait. Just sit and wait for fate to take it all from me, for I knew that was all I could do. But I was ready.
[The End]
AN: Don't say that I shouldn't end it there because note the title of the story and note what happens in this chapter. if you want any more RubedoxGaignun-ness then just ask. I'll be happy to write another story any other way. Like Jr. POV or not about hidden feeling...lemon even if you suggest buuuuut I wouldn't look too forward to it. Hugs and kisses are great but that's kinda weird considering you know...errr...height. AAAAAAnyway, that's all folks.
Gaignun: I was sooooo out of character.
Kurokawa: .....*softly cries then slaps Gaignun* you man lover you!
Gaignun: ......*sniff*
Gaignun: I love Rubedo! I confess!
Everyone else: . . .
Jr.: OMG WTF?!
