The Aftermath of the Storm

OneShot

The pain still smarted. Of course by now it was clear he had moved on quite far in a short amount of recovering time…but nevertheless, the pain still smarted, which definitely meant something.

Kai and Bryan were on amiable terms within days of their break-up. Being THE masters of hiding their emotion, not much blood or tears were shed…but undeniable tension hung in the air.

The two-toned bluenette leaned on the doorframe of the kitchen in the Hiwatari Estate the Blitzkrieg were staying in. Wine-red eyes absently surveyed the lilac-haired fur fanatic as he read the day's headlines on the couch.

He watched him for a couple more minutes before smiling softly and going over to him.

"Hey…" he greeted.

"Hey…" Bryan returned, not looking up from his paper.

Kai sighed a bit and leaned back on the fabric-covered foam. The awkward silence was slowly increased.

"People are so troublesome…" the bluenette remarked after a while. His companion did not respond.

"When you love them…they leave you." Kai continued. "When you leave them, that's the time they love you…"

Bryan nodded, not really paying attention.

"And when you REALLY love them…they're already with someone else!" the complainant concluded, complete with matching hand gestures, before sighing dramatically.

"That's the trouble with you—" Kai stopped, realizing what he said and immediately looking sideways at the lilac-haired teen to see if he heard.

Bryan was looking at him with a mixture of pity and opportunity-lost sadness.

"I meant that's the trouble with people…" the slate-haired Russian tried to redeem himself.

His ex-boyfriend's lips formed a grim line. "Sorry Kai…" he said simply and left the couch.

He was left there, along with his smarting pain. No matter how many times he had convinced himself that he had moved on, the pain would still be there.

The storm surely left much damage. Some of them can't just heal even over time.
