Haru: Now here's chappy five!
Chap5
Note: Fluff alert, a bit confusing POV's
Ban and Kadz are near the top, the place suddenly shakes… EARTHQUAKE! Kadzuki slips.
"KADZUKI!", Ban stretches his arm, reaching for Kadz, but he too slips and falls with him. He covers Kadz out of instinct as they roll down the stairs, unable to stop. (that's gotta hurt. REAL BAD) they landed on the cold floor, back to where they 'played', the earthquake stops. Kadz opens his eyes, dizzy and all, and finds Ban on top—of—him—…
"BAN?" he shrieks, "BAN! YOU—… you protected me !" He moves Ban and kneels beside him. Ban's head is bleeding. "Ban! BAN! MIDOU BAN WAKE UP!" Ban twitches and slightly opens his eyes. He sees Kadz's face blurring, hears a faint voice calling, and a sweet scent as Kadz's hair follows its master (I think mistress sounds better). Kadzuki, you're all right … that's good, he faints.
"BAN!…"Kadz's voice trails off. He tears his somewhat-still-wet sleeve and cleans Ban's face, searching for the wound while Ban dreams…
Ban's POV:
I stood near a beach's shore, in front of me is Kadz sitting on a bench. It's fairly sunset. I feel the ocean breeze behind me. My hand holds a violin. My body positions the wooden instrument on my shoulder, my fingers touch the strings, but I don't know what I 'should' play. I gaze at him as I brainstorm, heavenly eyes shining in the sunset's colors, forever-elegant silken hair dancing along the breeze, pure innocent smile more than a blessing… !… he's blushing! I froze on the beauty beyond description I close my eyes and let my hands move on its own as I poured my heart with it, poured my love to the – I can't think of a word worthy to call him – one… watching me… per te, Kadzuki, for you, per te… I want to tell you how much—…
Reality: Kadz's POV:
I can't believe he would actually protect me. I should've had lessons from Juubei, but at least I stopped his bleeding. I place his head on my lap as gently as I can and move some of his hair— I never thought his hair can be this soft! I stare at his face, somehow, I couldn't relate it to the brash, bossy, not to mention reckless, retriever I know of. He looks rather –handsome. His lips suddenly move, his voice soft and low,
Ban's POV:
The song ended. "Kadzuki…" I stared at his angelic form, "Kadzuki… I- I'll do anything for you – ."
Reality: Kadz's POV:
"Kadzuki", he whispers. My eyes widen, I found myself shocked. I couldn't hear his next words; I move my head closer, hair following me
Ban's POV:
"--…please… be mine…" I await his answer; he looks at me right in the eyes so profoundly and gave me… a nod!
Reality: Kadz's POV:
I heard him say, "… please… be mine…" I froze… then I saw him smile, so in content of something…
Ban's POV:
A burst of emotions overflow inside me a feeling I can't find a single word in the world to describe, I can't understand… Kadzuki, oh what did you do to me ! (he's in high, no drug!)
Reality: Kadz's POV:
My bells shook as I take my hands off him…
Ban's POV:
His bells ring, a sound that may mean more than a single tingle, of childhood innocence, of an awakening, of a second of life or death that only he can embroider. I couldn't explain to him how happy I feel now, but I want him to know! I remember the violin still in my grasp— another song? … sure why not ! And this time it will be all merry melodies - everlasting!
Normal POV:
"...please… be mine…" the words keep repeating in Kadz's mind, he tries to think of Juubei
Kadz's POV:
What does he mean "please be mine"? – He couldn't be talking to me- can't he? Why would he? But… he said my name… and he smiled… Juubei never said that to me, he never smiled like that… Juubei… Juubei…where are you?
Normal POV:
Kadz hugs himself amidst hesitation, disbelief and desperation, hoping his protector would come and take him away. Tears run down his cheeks although he doesn't want to. He closes is eyes shut and tightens his grip on himself and whispers, "Juubei…" Without him knowing, a tear falls to Ban's lips… somewhere in the snake's dream…
Ban's POV:
I stop at feeling raindrops on my fingers, the rain pours harder. I put down the instrument as I look at Kadz. He's still sitting there, "Kadzuki, I think we should –" He tenderly shook his head then glares at me with innocence. "But, Kadzu –" He stands up and cups my face in ever-so-gentle hands and whispers, "Play… play for me"
"Kadzuki…"
"Please…"
I couldn't reject it. I held the violin back to my shoulder as he releases me and backs up a bit. I take a glimpse of him, close my eyes and continued. After a few notes, I open my eyes to assure his presence, – HE'S DANCING!" His undone brown silk hair swaying with him, his eyes closed, smiling in serenity behind the amethyst shade of my glasses, graceful… so graceful. I just continued. I don't want him to stop and neither did he. He glances at me in surprise and slips. I catch him just in time, "Steady, … you won't want to get yourself dirty again now would you?" He places his hand over his mouth, hiding his giggles, blushing.
"Hey, – you're blushing…"
He startles at me, "But, Ban-chan, … you are too." He touches my cheeks, his hands cold against my warming red face.
I look at our position. My arms around his slim waist. His chest against mine. His face only inches away from mine…! My heart bangs itself on my chest… He stares at me and touches my chest… my heart beats harder… faster. – I think I'm gonna have a heart attack! AAAAHHHH!
"It's ok,… Ban-chan… it's only me…"
Wait,… he just called me 'Ban-chan'… this must be my best dream ever ! His eyes sparkle. DAMN IT, I'M SPEECHLESS! I try to calm myself down…He lays his head on me, his bells chime… I suddenly don't feel nervous anymore.
"Ban-chan, …"
"Hn ?"
"… you should calm down… I'm happy too … because now…" I can feel his heavy heartbeat "… you're mine… aren't you…"
"Kadzuki –" I look at him as he looks at me, oh so irresistible smile…!
"Yes, Ban-chan ?"
"Kadzuki, – I – " my lips tremble, I take a deep breath… " yes, I am… and --…"
" And ?", his voice sounded so eager to hear something
And so am I…eager to say something, well, here't goes…"…and I – I – I love …you, … Kadzuki…"
He lifts his head, my heart doesn't seem to attack me anymore, but I'm thankful for that by all means.
"Ban… I …" he trembles in my arms… " – I love you too, Midou Ban."
I didn't expect this to happen,-- honestly--, I never thought he would say that to me so fast! OH, HAPPY DAY!
… – He suddenly presses his tender lips against mine, gentle arms wrap around my neck!
KADZUKI! THIS'S 'SOME' DREAM— HELL, I COULD JUST SCREAM! THANK YOU, gods OF MUGENJOU!
Maku-chan: Sorry for the Ban fans, I didn't mean to do that to him, really. I think the POV's are too straight, too many and too exaggerated. Per Te sung by Josh Groban, I recommend you hear this song or/and read it's lyric translation then you'll know why I chose this song. The ending's kinda corny, eh. I mean they are so serious I just had to break it somehow.
Natsu: Really the song is really beautiful!
Fuyu: Like always...
Aki: Read and Review.
Maku-chan: Please and Thank you
