N/A: This is my new Get Backers project (My other project is The Get Backers Bedtime story collection). It's a collection of cute KazukixJubei drabbles from A to Z. This first story takes place when Jubei and Kazuki were kids. (Sana magustohan niyo!) Anyway just I hope you enjoy reading this.
Always
The sweet spring sun shimmered on the crystal clear river; the sun's rays distorted in the cool refreshing water. There was not a single cloud in the vast sky only birds gliding over the lush green treetops. The trees stood tall and proud letting their elongated shadows cast over the earth. Silence conquered the atmosphere except for the sound of the rushing river and the few calls of wondering birds. A light breeze whistled through the air and playfully pushed the blades of grass and tree branches. It was a beautiful spring day. The kind of beautiful day that is spent with someone special.
Kazuki Fuchoin laid in the long grass with his stomach to the ground. He rested his elbow on the ground and his head was cradled in his two palms. Kazuki closed his eyes as he absorbed his surroundings. He felt the blades of grass tickle his arms, the warm sun beam its rays upon him, and the light breeze blow wisps of hair. It wasn't only the beautiful day that had put a smile on his face but it was also the person lying in the grass next to him.
Kazuki opened his eyes and looked over at his companion, Jubei Kakei. Jubei laid peacefully in the viridian grass making no sound. Jubei seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep. "Jubei?" Kazuki called to the boy lying next to him.
The boy in the grass only grunted as a response. Jubei was a person of few words but Kazuki was use to it and he didn't mind it too much.
Kazuki stared up at the immense cerulean sky, empty except for the occasional bird. "Jubei, you don't think that maybe one day that the sky will be green? Do you think that the sky will always be blue?"
"Always. The sky will always be blue. That's just the way it is." Jubei's reply was automatic.
The young Fuchoin then gazed at the restless fish swimming in the lucid river. "Jubei, you don't think that one day the fish will learn to fly? Do you think that the fish will always stay in the river?"
"Always. The fish will always swim in the river. That's just the way it is." Jubei answered abruptly.
Kazuki observed the emerald green grass that surrounded him. "Jubei, you don't think that one day the grass will be gold? Do you that the grass will always be green?"
Jubei answered Kazuki promptly. "Always. The grass will always be green. That's just the way it is."
Kazuki started to feel irritated. Jubei just answered all his questions with always. Kazuki thought to himself for a few moments. Then he crawled over to where Jubei was and leaned over him, his shadow blocking and obscuring the bright sun. "How about you, Jubei? You don't think that one day you'll have to leave me. Do you think that you'll always be there for me?" Kazuki asked intently.
The boy lying in the grass did something he didn't do very often, smile. Jubei stared into Kazuki's amber eyes and smiled a rare smile. "Always. I'll always be there for you. Even if the sky is green, or fish learn to fly, and grass turns gold. I'll always be there for you. That's just the way it is."
