Always from Afar
It had taken almost the whole day for Rosiel to choose his new clothes, probably because he'd try something on in three different colors and then show him all the colors at least five times. Katan was happy when it was over. He wasn't sure if he could take any more…
Rosiel was busy chatting away in front of him, leading the way home. Katan was piled with bags… and bags… and bags. Katan was sure he was getting many funny looks. People were probably wondering what was wrong with him. If he was going to buy that much than why didn't he get a taxi? Or the bus or any thing?
Katan followed Rosiel pretending to listen. He couldn't listen to his lord at this point. He was too busy thinking. He needed to take a walk… or at least cook. As weird as it sounded Katan was relaxed while cooking. It helped him gather his emotions and thoughts… and he definitely needed that right now.
Rosiel had done something horrible to him today. He was as uncomfortable as it got. He always told himself to show no emotion, never to react. Rosiel was making it more and more difficult to follow Katan's rules.
He didn't know if Rosiel was doing it on purpose or not, but he was definitely doing it. There were plenty of times in the store where Katan almost jumped up and kissed Rosiel. But some things held him back. Things like what Rosiel had done to Kirie, no matter how much Katan had enjoyed that he wasn't sure if Rosiel would do the same thing to him.
Rosiel had noticed how Katan had stopped listening. He looked deep in thought, his eyes glazed over and looking up at the sky. Rosiel stopped walking for a moment allowing Katan to catch up, and then matching his pace to Katan's he began walking and looked up in the same direction as Katan.
Katan didn't notice for a long time, they were only minutes away from the house now. Finally Rosiel thought he should take things into his own hands.
"Do you really like the sky that much?" Rosiel asked him still watching the sky.
With a jump, all of the bags fell to the ground, some of the clothes and shoe boxes spilling out. Katan's eyes were full of shock.
With a bow Katan said, "I'm sorry my Lord. I must have been… out of it…" Katan tried a term he had never used before. Hopefully his lord didn't ask any questions…
After saying that Katan got to the ground and began picking up all of the clothes he had dropped. Slowly re-folding them and putting them back in their bags which he re-piled on himself he stood.
Rosiel had been expecting… more of a reaction, I guess is the best way to put it. He had been almost disappointed that Katan hadn't jumped into his arms, kissing him and begging him for forgiveness. Almost being keyword. He would have been disappointed had it not been for the idea of kissing Katan when they got back inside their home.
The moment they reached the door, Rosiel stopped in shock. There were flowers and chocolates all over the house. Each one was a different type of rose and different box of chocolates, and in the corner there was an enormous card.
The front read, 'I send this to you…', and then you would have to open it to see the rest. Katan had just got in as well. He was shocked when he saw everything. He was so shocked he dropped the boxes and bags… again.
His first thoughts were of Kirie of course. He didn't know how she got any of this. The only thing he did know was that she was trying to stea… win lord Rosiel's heart. This time Katan didn't pick up the bags of everything and instead walked over to the card. Opening it Katan got the biggest shock of his life…
'I send this to you with all my love.
I thought we should do something special for out anniversary. Please come to the usual spot. Don't forget Katan, it's your turn to pay!
Love, Nioko '
Katan stared at the card horrified. He had many questions. First if he was really with this 'Nioko' then why didn't she or he know that he was allergic to chocolate? Or that the only one who deserved roses was Lord Rosiel. But most of all he wanted to know who 'Nioko' was.
Rosiel looked at the card. Almost showing how horrified he really was. So Katan has had a lover this whole time… Rosiel felt anger hit him full blast. Rosiel was shaking with anger when he asked the question, "Who is Nioko?" Rosiel was gritting his teeth as he said this.
Katan knew that his lord was mad by the way he said things. It was actually pretty scary. His lord had never been this mad… but why would he be mad? Probably just because Katan was giving some of his time to someone else, when in reality Katan spent all his time thinking, or being with lord Rosiel.
"I'm not sure my lord." Was Katan's quiet reply.
"Then why would they send this to you. It has YOUR name on it." Rosiel said, his anger about to explode.
"I have no idea who this Nioko is…" Katan tried again hoping his lord would know he wasn't lying.
"You lying." Rosiel said it in a calm voice. "Go."
Katan turned and stared at his lord. "My lord---"
"I said GO! Meet with your pathetic human lover. I never and I mean never want to see you again. Now go before I kill you!" Rosiel was yelling at Katan.
Katan began shaking as his lord said this. He could feel the tears threatening to fall down his face. Katan got up, refusing to show his tears to his lord, he kept his back to him. Even if it made him walk backwards… or sideways.
Katan got outside and the moment the door shut, Katan began running.
Katan could feel the slick tears running down his face. The cold winds began slashing at his bare arms. His coat had been left at home that morning. He had no desire to wear it in the blistering hot sun. But the weather was quickly changing. They did predict rain for tonight…
Katan ran to the place he was always at… the park. Then laying on the bench he always laid on, he could feel the sobs begin to rack his body…
Rosiel
Rosiel had destroyed everything Katan's lover had sent. The flowers and cards burned, and the chocolate was half burned half down the drain, chopped into thousands of little pieces… Just like the one who brought them should be!
Rosiel had sent Katan away. He didn't know where his love had gone it, maybe heaven, maybe to his lover. Either one was horrible. At least to Rosiel. Katan was accepted every where. Even into Rosiel's own heart.
Rosiel wondered for a moment after his anger past, why Katan didn't look at him. Usually the angel always looked at him. But not this time. Whenever Katan left he always looked Rosiel in the eyes.
In a matter of fact he remember that the only times Katan wouldn't look at him was after he 'rewarded' Kirie with kisses or something else and when Rosiel had finished yelling at him. He was usually fine after about ten minutes.
Rosiel finally was struck by an idea. Something he didn't think Katan was possible of doing. It would make sense though… Katan was usually gone in the middle of the night. Rosiel wasn't sure to where… he could've been meeting a secret lover… but that was very doubtful. Katan would never hide anything from him.
That means he must have been… upset! And when people were upset they cried. Rosiel was very proud of himself for a few minutes. But then he realized that he was the one that made Katan cry, and that made him feel bad. But also good, because that meant Katan must care for him deeply and that means—
Rosiel stopped his long, 'deep' thoughts, and attempted to run out the door to find his angel… but was stopped.
"Lord Rosiel!" Kirie cried as she ran into the room. She hugged Rosiel tightly and said, "Is Katan here? No? That give me time to talk to you…"
Katan
Katan felt his eyes dry. He wanted to cry more, but he was completely out of tears to cry. Why could the sky cry and he couldn't? The weatherman had been right for once. The tears fell into the city. Thousands a second. It was probably going to be a huge storm.
Katan curled up on the bench. He didn't really care how much rain fell. He wasn't going to leave. He could never leave. Maybe he could watch Lord Rosiel without Lord Rosiel ever seeing him. Katan wasn't sure if he could live without seeing Lord Rosiel everyday.
Ever since he had been 'born', he had loved his lord. He searched for the man who was and wasn't his father. And what he found was someone he could love with all his heart. Again though, he couldn't. Rosiel was his lord, and far too good for him, but at least Katan got to be close to him all the time.
That's when he heard a little giggle.
"So you came…" A female voice said.
End Chapter 6
Preview for Chapter 7: While Kirie tries to make Rosiel fall for her, Nioko appears. She tells Katan of many things. But will any of it help him to find a way back into his Lord's heart?
I'm sooooooo sorry that this chapter took forever to come out. Good news though! It's the first of 5-6 stories I need to up-date! I don't really have a good reason for anything…. Other than the fact school sucks and loads me on homework. Basketballs fun but it's a time eater…
Anyway I would really love to get some wonderful reviews! I hope you can all forgive me! I'll try and up-date something very soon…
See ya soon! (hopefully)
