Disclaimer: I wouldn't be writing this if I owned GSD.
Anyway, this is a completely NEW story for the ShinnxLuna drabble. The old one was too sucky.
Shinn's eyes slowly opened. Where was he? He sat up and looked around. It seemed like an infirmary. He heard a strangled cry escape his lips as he remembered, remembered how he had charged for Luna with every intent of killing her. Then, blackness. What had happened? He felt his throat tighten. Had he killed her?
He felt the bed move. Looking down, he saw a head of magenta hair.
"Luna..."
He could feel the tears, thick and warm, trailing down his cheeks. Hesitantly, he reached out a hand to stroke her hair. As soon as his hand made contact, Shinn fell apart.
His life had been a tunnel. A long, dark, lonely one. When he was beginning to lose himself in the dark, Luna's smile became the light at the end of his tunnel.
How he loved hearing her laugh, seeing her smile. He loved the way she stuck by him, despite all the heartache he caused her. His hand withdrew from her hair, as if burnt.
He cared for her. He loved her. But yet, it was because he cared that he kept his distance. He'd only hurt her even more if he were to be with her. Everyone whom he had loved in the past were dead. He didn't want the same fate to befall Luna.
He'd wanted to turn his blade against her, hurt her, so that she would leave him. He knew it would hurt her, but he also knew that she was strong, and that she would get over him. Maybe one day, she'll understand that he was Darkness and she was Light. Darkness and Light were never made for each other.
Luna stirred.
Shinn looked up, hastily trying to wipe away the tears. Luna gave him that smile of hers again, causing his hand to fall limp to his side.
"I told you, it's okay to cry. I know you loved Stellar, I know you miss her."
Luna leaned forward and planted a kiss on his forehead before holding him in a tight embrace.
Shinn wanted to tell her, tell her that he wasn't crying for Stellar, but for her. But he was selfish. He didn't want to lose the only person left in his life. He would hurt her. He would pretend to still be in love with Stellar. He would break her heart.
