Blues looked upon his sleeping operator in the dark night. His perfect featured being accented by the pale moon glow filtering through the curtains in the room. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't move his gaze from his operators face. Nothing in the world could have moved him at that moment.
Enzan groaned and stirred in his sleep, having some unseen dream, or nightmare as the case may have been. Blues yearned for the power of being able to exit his PET and go down to where he lay. He looked at him with an almost begging in his eyes.
Enzan's thrashings grew worse as the night wore on, Blues watching all the while. Finally at 3:41 he shot up in bed, panting.
"Bad dream, Enzan?" Blues asked.
Enzan nodded, drenched in sweat. He didn't even realize the lack of 'sama' when he was addressed.
"Care to talk about it?" he tried again.
Enzan sighed and sunk back into his pillows. "No, you wouldn't understand Blues."
A wry smile curled Blues' lips. "Try me Enzan."
Enzan looked at his navi, surprised at his personality change. "Very well, I was dreaming about mom. I… was thinking about how much I miss her."
Blues' gaze softened. He was the only person who saw this side of Enzan; he knew very well how Enzan felt. To never be able to touch a loved one, only his pain was more. "I understand." He said softly.
Enzan looked at Blues, a little surprised. "You do?" he asked.
Blues nodded. "Yes, I know how it is to miss a loved one."
Enzan was intrigued. "How?" he asked.
Blues looked at Enzan, his unseeable gaze, piercing Enzan's own. "Do you really want to know?" he asked.
Enzan nodded, a little apprehensively.
"I love you, Enzan. I know how you feel because, I love you and I will never be able to touch or be with you. I will never know what that joy feels like, that's how I know. Because I am dead in your world as you are in mine." Said Blues softly.
Enzan was quiet for a few minutes. "D-do you really mean that?" he asked in a whisper.
Blues nodded. "Yes, I do, Enzan. Now, get some sleep, tomorrow you have that big meeting."
Enzan meekly obeyed and lay back down to go to sleep, pondering his navi's words.
Later around 4 he finally came to his own conclusion. "I love you too Blues." He said, quietly.
Blues merely smiled and nodded.
