Author's Notes: This is both a 'thank you' and Christmas gift drabble for Ariadne who wrote a lovely RhadamanthysxKanon piece for me. Thank you and I hope you will enjoy this drabble as I'm not used to write about Milo (I don't know if this scene has been used before but if it has, which is probably the case, I'm sorry ;;).

Disclaimer: I don't own Saint Seiya, everything belongs to Masami Kurumada.

Warning: Angst and that's about it.

Meant To Be

By Shadow Arashi

He couldn't believe it when he saw him again, cold and proud as always but wonderfully alive.

The joy had been too intense for words. And so had been the deception.

The fight had torn his heart apart; caught in the crossfire between his duty and where his heart lies. He had wanted to kiss his cold lips, to hold him and run his fingers through his hair. It had hurt to see him on the other side of the battlefield.

He didn't want nor care to know why. All he felt was the sting of betrayal.

Now he is holding him, just as he had wished to do so many times before. But it is bitter, the occasion and feelings behind it perverted by the blood spilled between them.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Though now that he was glancing down at the beaten form of his former comrade, long hair hiding the unseeing but tearful eyes of Camus, Milo thought he saw a glimpse of the future and that maybe, just maybe it was actually meant to be.
