Title: Screaming
Pairing: SouKazu
Fandom: Soukyuu no Fafner
Theme: #17 kHz
Disclaimer: Don't own any of it. Why else would I be writing fanfics?
Notes/Warnings: More angst from me. Takes place sometime in between episodes 23 and 25, so obviously there are spoilers. Probably won't make much sense if you haven't seen the end of ep 23, so if anyone wants just a clip of that scene, I have one saved, so just ask and I can send it to you. Big thank you's to both tenshiforgotten and bloodstain5 for betaing!
Screaming
Kazuki's screams rang in Soushi's ears for hours after he had been abducted by the Festum. Over and over his name repeated, screamed with desperate intensity in Kazuki's familiar baritone. He wasn't even sure if it was ringing in his ears or merely reiterating in his mind, as he sat motionless in the chair that he had become all too comfortable with over the weeks of battles every few days.
It was far from comfortable now though, trapped in it by the green Mir crystals surrounding his entire body. Except for his head. So long as they stayed away from the precious scar, that precious wound that Kazuki had given him and that was such an important part of who he was (because of Kazuki), then he could handle it.
He would have to handle it.
For Kazuki, whose entire hopeless need had shown clearly on his face that very day when he cried out his most important word:
"Soushi!"
How frantically Soushi had wanted to call to him in return, reach out for him and kiss him fiercely to reassure both of them that it was real.
But the Festum could not understand love, but merely it's opposite: hate. He wondered how this could have happened; was there really so much more hate than love in the world after all?
He closed his eyes, and imagined Kazuki. Kazuki laughing, smiling, saying his name.
"Soushi!"
His eyes shot open again as the scream reverberated through his mind once more, and answered it with a whispered call of his own.
"Kazuki."
