Easy to Forget
By Sarah Koh
Looking at him, Tsume realized it was too easy to forget who—what—he really was. Tsume x Toboe
Note: I'm not exactly satisfied with this or the title, so it may or may not be taken down later, or at least edited. Wrote it during the commercials while watching the latest eppy of Wolf's Rain. Tsume said some scary stuff . . . I mean, stuff connected to my other fic (spam-spam-spam). Toboe is my favorite character—so I write about him, but not through him. Don't ask why, k?
This is a one-shot . . .
Disclaimer: Wolf's Rain ain't mine. XD
It was so damn easy to forget. Tsume could admit that he was capable of doing that—damn it, he was a wolf, not perfection itself. Tsume supposed that that particular ideal was one more mold Kiba fit into perfectly, aside from the entire "leading us to paradise" shit.
The runt followed him when Tsume said he was going to find hell, and they found it and barely escaped with their lives. It was his fault, Tsume supposed, but it was partly the runt's fault for following him in the first place.
Damned machines.
But when Tsume saw Toboe bending over his leg, eyes closed in pleasure, a small red stain on his lips that he quickly licked away, probably not even realizing—Tsume remembered.
Runt or no, Toboe was a wolf, and all the strength and viciousness of one was packed into his thin little body, the brain of one staring out of his gold eyes.
And Tsume had been telling the truth, when he said that he would eat Toboe if there was nothing else he could devour. But—it was easy to forget that Toboe would as likely turn on him as well, tear chunks of flesh from his body as easily as he licked away Tsume's blood. Toboe was a wolf too.
But—you know what?
When Toboe's first instinct was to go to Tsume, follow him, help him, give up his life for him, Tsume forgot. And—guess what? Tsume remembered that he didn't really care.
{makes a face} Less than a page long . . . I guess this would be termed as "drabble", wouldn't it?
A/N: This is a one-shot, and so is At the End of the Day, but I was thinking about doing a multipart—you know, with chapters and everything.
People: {gasp}
It'll be a fantasy, just because—an AU, I guess, just because there's not enough Wolf's Rain to actually write anything more than one-shots about, without it being termed an AU.
Oops! Got another idea for a multiparter. Heh. Whatever.
Welp, Review?
