Disclaimer: I don't own +anima if I did what I'm writing would reality and there would be much Nana/Husky fluff!
Nana was running in excitement to where she and Husky were meeting. Husky of course, was already waiting there.
"Hey Husky I got a job as a temporary house-keeper and we can sleep in a spare room. What about you?"
"I got a job as a waiter at some restaurant."
"That's great I start today and I thought that I could show where we're staying."
"Alright, I don't start until tomorrow." Husky followed Nana to a lovely exotic house. The inside was even more exotic then the outside. The place reeked of incense and the floors were covered in ornate rugs, there tons of little nick-knacks. Husky grimaced.
"This place is too tacky, and too much incense."
"The owner is a fortune teller part-time."
"Oh Nana, back so soon?" A woman dressed in scarves, beads, and bangles. She had tanned skin, black hair, and dark eyes.
"Yes, I thought might get started on dinner." The woman looked over Husky.
"Who's your friend there?"
"This is my traveling companion Husky; he has a job at a local restaurant."
"By traveling companion, do you mean boyfriend?" Husky and Nana jolted.
"Just kidding." She laughed
"You seem really familiar Husky, where are you from?"
"The capital." The woman clearly didn't believe him but didn't press the matter.
"Well, I don't know that I can let a boy and girl as young as you two share a room with a clear mind; especially a pair of young and hormonal boy and girl." Nana and Husky turned bright red with embarrassment. Nana spluttered gibberish and hurried into the kitchen; Husky stood alone with the woman few moments before hurrying after his companion.
"This looks delicious!" The woman shrieked childishly.
"By the way my name is Artemis." She told Husky as the trio began eat. Artemis stared at Husky method of eating for while in-between bites.
"What?"
"Did you say you were from the capital?"
"Yes."
"What did you parents do?"
"They were merchants."
"I find it odd you eat like a Sailander if you're from the capital." Husky half-choked on his food.
"What do you mean by that?" He demanded.
"I'm from Sailand, I know how they eat." She went on to explain that Astarians used only there index finger to apply force to the fork or knife while Sailanders used their index and middle finger.
"What're you doing here?" Nana nudged him for his rudeness.
"My daughter became a +anima." Nana choked on her water and Husky wacked her back.
"I didn't want her to become a slave so we ran here. Although she ended up dying from sickness a few months later."
"I'm sorry." Whispered Nana.
"Why aren't you two with your parents?" Nana and Husky exchanged glances surprised at her forwardness.
"My father was abusive so I ran away from home." Nana lanced at Husky expectantly.
"I was separated and got lost." He told them simply. Nana stared for awhile before resuming her meal. The rest of supper was quiet things too awkward to speak.
Soon enough Nana and Husky were sitting on their futons on the floor. Nana was brushing her hair and Husky popped some kind odd ball in his mouth and swallowed.
"You're not from the capital are you?" Nana asked.
"Technically I was born in 'A' capital and I did live Astar, this country's capital, for a few years."
"I see."
"Nana, I need to ask you a question, one that that you might find offensive or uncomfortable."
"What is it?"
"Did your father ever, did he ever touch you? Hurt you in a way a father never should his daughter?" Nana was quiet for a few moments.
"No, he only hit me."
"Thank the gods." He whispered.
"Why do you ask?"
"When I lived in
the city I knew many girls who ran from brothels. They said it was
the worst experience in the world. You said your father abused you
and I wanted to make sure he never hurt you that way." There was a
very awkward silence between them.
"Nana?"
"Hm?"
"I have a request."
"What is it?"
"Will you sleep with me?" Nana flushed red and freaked out.
"You Pervert! Were
you just asking I was a virgin!? I don't want to become a mom at
thirteen!" Husky's face lit up red. If haven't guessed already
he was the one to explain the "birds and the bees" because Senri
didn't remember even if he was taught numerous times, Nana was too
young to know when she left home, Cooro, enough said. Even at twenty
Senri didn't remember how babies are born and Cooro, now fourteen
still doesn't understand.
"That's not what I meant stupid
girl! I meant sleep next to me! It was a habit I got into as a little
kid; I don't like sleeping indoors alone. When the others were here
it was so crowded I didn't feel afraid." He was sitting on his
knees, his head turned and his eyes looking in the lower left hand
corner and some light tears. He had that helpless look again, the one
that made him look so much like a girl.
"Sure." That response startled him.
"Really?" His expression reminded her of a small child, even though he was clearly a man. Nana hesitantly lay down next to him and he snuggled against him. Husky was in a state of bliss, and quickly fell asleep. Nana lay awake flushed because of his closeness. Without warning he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against him, she was almost lip-to-lip with him.
"Meho." He murmured nuzzling Nana affectionately. It took every bit of will-power she had not to yell.
"Meho." He murmured again, this time his happy face contorted in a face of aguish.
"Meho, don't go, don't let them take you. I'm sorry I left you alone." He was grasping Nana fiercely. Nana did the only thing that came to mind, she pulled him closer whispering little bit of soothing gibberish. She soon found herself asleep.
Nana was standing alone in the dark, even her sonic screech couldn't find anything. Out of nowhere a child appeared running past. The child was giving off its own light. The child was dressed in shorts, long white shirt, vest, sandals and a messenger cap. Nana guessed that the child was a boy.
"Wait!" She cried nearly tripping over her own feet. After chasing the child for who knows how long the child stopped and turned revealing his face. Nana who had just tripped and fell looked at his face in shock.
"Husky?" An invisible wind came through the boy's cap off his head, revealing long silver-blue hair, with Husky's face.
"Seek the truth." The girl told her in a voice that sounded like Husky's voice a bit less husky and more feminine. Then Nana woke up.
