Chapter # 2: Love

I sit up in my bed. I'm breathing hard and sweating. I hate nightmares. I hate them more then anything else. I sigh and grab my forehead, in twining my fingertips in some of black hair.

"Ritsuka?" I hear an all to familiar voice saying to me. He sits up and wraps his arms around me,

"Another nightmare?"

"Yeah."

"That's the fourth one this week."

"Yeah, it is."

"Are you alright Ritsuka?"

"N-Nani-o?" What

"You seem…Scared."

I face him and lose myself in his eyes,

"Soubi…"

He hugs me closely, stroking my hair away from my eyes.

"Suki Daiyo, Ritsuka."

I don't make any reply. I simply relax into him and we lie back down together, me wrapped in his arms tightly. I'm comforted by Soubi in every possible way. I love him. He knows I love him. Even if I never say it to him. He knows.
