Once More With Feeling
Yes, this song...
Walking down the stairs, Kamui seemed a little... preoccupied, to say the least. The way he was clutching his shirt close, breathing heavily, made him look as if the poor Seal had almost drowned in the shower. Only raising his eyes once to scan the kitchen, taking in Subaru and... no-one else, he finally poured an orange juice and sat down with it.
Subaru looked up from the paper he was reading, and seemed to eye Kamui for a second or two. Then he returned to his paper.
"Hey, Subaru..." Kamui offered, taking a hasty sip of orange juice, disabling his ability to answer, should the Sumeragi decide to.
Subaru looked up, "...Good morning." Listless. The look on his face told Kamui where Subaru had been to appear so late for breakfast. Kamui had just overslept, having had what he took as a wierd dream. And an oddly wet one, not that Subaru needed to know that. The odd, empty air around the Sumeragi told Kamui that the tragic Sumeragi had been to the Sakura.
Slowly, inexplicably, Kamui felt his lips pull back, and a backing melody started to play, out of no-where...
"Pretty Green Eyes,
So full of sparkle and such light,
And let me remind,
You chose not to cry,
It's all right,
For your lover has gone home,
By your side, i'll always stay,
Never have to be alone..."
Standing up, Kamui abandoned his orange juice, leaving it on the table. Moving around the breakfast table, seemingly against his will, towards a struck Subaru, Kamui seemed a little scared as he repeated the ending line twice, before launching into another verse,
"Pretty Green Eyes,
So full of wonder and dismay,
It's alright to cry,
For i'll be there to wipe your tears,
And in your arms,
Together, we're in paradise,
And it's so nice,
You'll never have to be alone..."
Leaning forward gently, Kamui wrapped both of his thin arms around Subaru's neck as the amazed Sumeragi stood. Leaning forward, Kamui whispered into the Sumeragi's ear delicately, repeating the lines...
"Never ever be, never ever be,
Never have to be alone..."
Turning his head to one side, Kamui placed a soft kiss on the Sumeragi's cheek.
Even as the backing music faded away, there was the sound of a door opening. Even as Sorata and Arashi entered the kitchen, arguing as usual, Subaru firmly but gently set Kamui down again from where the Seal had had to lean up to reach his love's cheek.
Sorata blinked, and Arashi politely averted her eyes. After a moment, the Ise princess realised that Sorata was staring and promptly dug her heel into the monk's shoe. Giving a howl of pain, Sorata almost vaulted into the ceiling. Subaru's face was passive, almost empty, as he looked at the 'lover's antics. Kamui was standing, his face around Subaru's shoulder-level, and not even Subaru noticed the silent tears that dripped from the boy's huge violet eyes as Subaru brushed past abruptly.
"...Never have to be alone..."
