Warning: Last chapter.
A.N. LAST CHAPTER! The poem comes from pieces of a poem called 'House of Glass and Fog' written by none other than yours truely. Though, that's not the entire poem, there's more of it
Oh, BTW, sorry it took so long to update!
"I lay on the floor of my
House of glass and fog
There on a cliff by the sea
And from fire and ash
You were born for me."
"That drivel again?" Yuki asked Shuichi
Shuichi shrugged, nesteling deeper into Yuki's chest.
"It's not drivel. It's beautiful. It's just been stuck in my head lately."
'How long have we been like this? Weeks? Days? Just hours? How long have we been in this castle by the sea? Where the wind blows through those open windows?' Shuichi wondered 'How long have you held me like this? Just moments? Forever?'
"It's crap." Yuki said
"I just wish I could remember the rest of it." Shuichi replied, not listening to his lover
There was a silence for a moment, Yuki shifted, holding his pink haired baka closer to him. He smiled softly, perfectly content as he held his love in his arms, listening to his peaceful sighs after a night of screaming and crying out.
'How long have we been like this?' Yuki wondered 'How long have I been like this? This content. This at peace. This deeply in love? This... this happy?'
"I kind of want to know what happened next..." Shuichi murmered to himself, thinking out loud.
Yuki sighed internally, closing his eyes.
"And as I'd lie there
On the floor so bare
There on the floor of my
House by the sea
I'd lie and weep
And to your eyes my
Tears would creep
And you became blinded like me"
Shuichi was silent for a moment, but then he spoke excitedly.
"Yuki?" He asked, abrubtly sitting up, denying Yuki the warmth of his lithe body "You know it?"
Yuki nodded softly, propping himself up on his elbows.
"How?"
"Baka." He said, rolling his eyes "I wrote it."
Shuichi was silent for a moment, before speaking.
"But... but you said it was crap."
"It is crap. I wrote it a long time ago."
Shuichi was silent for a moment, nibbling on his fingernails, before looking back at Yuki.
"Yuki?" He asked softly "Tell me, how does it end?"
Yuki sighed, forcing memories to long repressed to the surface.
"I reach over now
And feel you next to me
On the floor of my house by
The sea
Your love opens my eyes
And now I can see
That we'll forever be
There, in my house of
Glass and fog
On a cliff by the sea'
Once again, Shuichi fell silent, taking in his lover's words.
"It's beautiful." Shuichi said "I fell in love with this poem when I read it. Did you write it about... her?"
Yuki shook his head.
"Before." He replied "Somehow, I think... without realizing it, I wrote it about you."
Shuichi cocked his head at the writer.
"Huh? How could you, we'd never even met."
Yuki nodded.
"I know. But... I think... that somehow... I dreamed of you. Of my... eternal love."
There was a silence for a moment, before Yuki spoke.
"If you ever speak of this to anyone, I swear by God you will regret ever hearing the name Eiri Yuki."
Shuichi's eyes widened in fear, and then he laughed.
"You were getting all mushy and emotional!" Shuichi shouted, running away
"I was not!" Yuki yelled, chasing after them
They ran and wrestled together in their castle by the sea, where of fire and ash, they were born for each other again and again, until their limbs gave away, and they lay together, spent, arms and legs entangled, but their hands embracing the other's refusing to let go. Clinging to it like a grain of sand you refuse to let slip through your fingers.
Yuki laughed softly sometime later, watching his lover sleep in his strong arms.
'Kyoko... wherever you are. I'm done with it. I'm throwing them away. These blood red memories.'
