Chapter 6
A/N: That last chapter really, really sucked. It was short and had a lot of mistakes. I can't believe I did that. It's been a long time since I updated a new chapter gahhhh. I'm so sorry how could I not see. I'm gonna go stab myself in the eye socket so I can have a cool patch...like a pirate.
"A-Albel! Come back. Hey! Wait up!"
Fayt stopped for a moment to catch his breath; Albel was faster than the normal human so it wasn't an easy task to catch up. Fayt sat on the ground panting and looked behind him to see if Albel had stopped. Sure enough Albel walked back to the sitting boy and then grabbed his arm to help him up.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You shouldn't follow me anyway fool."
Albel turned and began to walk away again.
"Albel." Fayt coughed
"I wanted to say I like you too. I just wasn't expecting you to like me back, well, not like that at least."
He walked up to Albel and looked him in the eyes.
"You don't have to flatter me boy, I don't care what you think anyway this was stupid. I hate your little 'party' with your little friends and all. All I hear from you people is save the world and kill the bad guys. You know what, I am a bad guy!"
Albel was in a furious rage, probably more so than he's ever been. His pale face became a slight pink a she gritted his teeth.
"Well, if you stop running away-"
"I never run away!"
"Albel, you just ran from me now. I know you're not happy about all this but maybe if you explain to me all the things you don't like about me I can get to know you better."
Albel looked down for a moment and then regained his scowl.
"What do you mean boy?"
"Our flaws...my flaws." Fayt said
"Tell me what makes you so angry. Maybe when I know what annoys you I can improve. If it feels like we're holding you back just tell me. I have no problem in handing over my leader position for a while."
Fayt sat back down and Albel sat next to him just like before.
"Things I hate about you." Albel repeated
"I hate that girl...a lot."
"Albel you can't just say 'that girl' I have no idea who you're talking about."
"You act like you're my mother shut up and let me finish you worm!"
Fayt flinched a bit but sat alert listening.
"Sophia." Albel spat
"You haven't even met her yet." Fayt said
"Well if you shut the hell up like I said and let me finish I'll tell you why! I hate her because she's all you ever talk about. I hate the ape people, that rat child and the ninja woman. I hate the girl with the hair, I hate them all. I hate you're goody two-shoes attitude the world is all flowers and happiness I hate this and I hate those people."
"Albel. Stop being so closed to people. I know you've lost you're upset about the way things are going now but please. Just hang in there. I want you to be with us in the end. When all this is solved I want you to be there." Fayt smiled even though water began to rise in his eyes.
"I'm going through some hard times too even though I don't let others see it. I think you just need to get closer to someone. If you're not going to be close to anyone else at least try to be close to me."
Albel frowned as usual. Fayt reached over a put his arms around Albel's neck and hugged him tightly.
"Gods child what are you doing to me! Get off now before I hit you!" Albel yelled
"I'm not going to let go, even if you do hit me. I'll just hit you back." Fayt pulled his arms even tighter. Albel pulled decided his attempts were futile, and he realized the boy was trying to get through to him. He wrapped his arms around Fayt to return the hug.
"Albel." Fayt said
You're ruining the moment boy, isn't this what you asked for? You're wasting my time so you better enjoy this."
"Albel." Fayt repeated
"What the hell do you want you fucking moron?"
"I'm sleepy."
A/N: Yes Albel is a habitual swearer (uhhh). The last chapter sucked so please except this chapter as a means of repenting. Before I write the next chapter, what couple would you like the chapter to include/hint at/ etc? More Albel x Fayt? Cliff x Fayt? Cliff x Albel? Cliff x Maria? Cliff x Mirage? Or should Fayt be a seme!
I know some people want more Albel and some want more Cliff. Some hate them both, so tell me what you think.
