Watching
Chapitre Twelve
They both watch the boy through the small doorway, knowing already what will happen. They've both been down that road before. They both understand loss and loneliness in that way that the mature do.
Her emerald eyes open and a question pops out, "who are you?"
They can both see his devastation, it's as plain as day. They know how his hearts breaking when he replies "I'm called Syaoran. And you…you are her highness, princess Sakura." The rest of his words are lost to them, because while they remain watching, they close off their ears from the sorrow, until they see it's almost too much for him to bear, and with a resolved smile Fai heads in to break the tension.
"Princess Sakura," He says in a voice filled with artificial joy, "I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Fai D. Flowright." He pauses dramatically, hoping to relieve some of the tension with laughter, "and may I present-"
Before there is a chance to give him some ridiculous nickname, Kurogane speaks. "I'm Kurogane."
Platitudes are exchanged as the boy walks out to stand alone, defeated, in the rain. There would be discussion later, but for now all they can do is remain with Sakura.
