Title: 'Confessions'


Chapter 3 : 'Camus & Milo'


"...you look like you've been... 'crying'... ?"

'I march as fast as possible through your Scorpio Temple,
blocking eagerly the fact you're trying to get through me with meaningless sentimentalities.'

Milo held a hand up, unknowing what to do with it,
until the end of the white cape of Camus brushed against it,
waking him up from his half nightmare, half reverie.
Never seeing the Aquarius Saint in such a state.

The Scorpio Saint didn't falter and matched the speed of Camus' steps through his Temple,
verging on shouting behind him:
"C-Camus !"

'After all those years, I am disappointed,
you
don't know me, even a little.
It is almost impossible to break through my thick layer of ice
I rigorously build up to become the Aquarius Saint.'

"First Crystal, now Hyoga... " Milo almost pleaded, grabbing Camus' arm.
The latter unlocked himself violently from the Scorpio Saint's grip, continuing his way out.
Milo stood still for a moment, questioning if he had the right to invade Camus'privacy.
What was left of it anyway.

After all Sanctuary witnessed the disappearance of his disciple's Cosmos,
the impardonable crime Camus committed in the Temple below.
One act he would have to live with for the rest of his life.

The end of Milo's Temple in sight, Camus' eyes lit up with a fervent determination.
Despite that, a persevering Scorpio grabbed one last time Camus' arm,
locking him in, with the intention of not letting go.

'You won't get rid of me that easily, or keep me in the dark.
Not this time.'

Milo's grasp around his arm, uncontrollably filled Camus' eyes with tears again,
adrenaline pumping in his veins to its maximum,
his body switching into running mode.

'I'll never exit this damned Temple of yours, nor will I find the way to mine.
Not with you constantly breathing down my neck.
I curse you.'

As a last resort, Milo pulled harshly on the Aquarius Saint's arm.

'...don't... Milo…'

The gesture stopped this foolish charade and made Camus involuntarily spin on himself.
Resulting in him losing his balance and tripping all over the stairs of the Scorpio Temple.
Landing flat on his face.

The sight left Milo bereft of any words, dumbfounded,
Camus lost his balance that effortlessly after his pulling.

Sighing heavily, the Scorpio Saint rushed towards the Aquarius Saint,
whom laid on the last stairs, seemingly not giving any sign of life.

"Camus ?"

Kneeling down on the last stairs, Milo seized relunctantly Camus' shoulders,
aiming at making him finally face him.

'I … said… 'don't'...'

For as the Aquarius Saint was putting a last resistance,
the Scorpio Saint was only being able at turning him half wholly,
his face completely covered in teal hair, listening to a muted:
"...H-hyoga..."

His throat cut off with raw emotions, Milo regretfully shut his eyes,
deciding he would solely allow himself in hearing the sobbing from under the hair mess.
