Chapter 5 - My Nightmare
"Hello?" ...
"Hello?" ...
"Where are you?"
The blunette boy was walking through a dimly lit dreamscape. He hadn't done anything yet, so why it was lit as such was a mystery to him. Maybe...Maybe Kira was trying to manipulate the dreamscape too?
He wiped that happy thought away when he couldn't find the brunette. Where was he? Kira was always here. He had to be here...
"Where are you?" he yelled again, the emotions he felt at that moment, the abandonment...it wasn't affecting this world...What was going on?
-
'Athrun?'
Kira blinked at the boy laying on the floor. He was kneeling next to said boy...with a bloody knife in his hands.
'Wh-what is this?' he tried dropping the knife, but his hands wouldn't let go, instead plunging it further into the other boy's back...
There was darkness everywhere...Why was there so much...darkness?
'Athrun...Athrun!' Kira felt the tears running down his face. 'What'd I do?'
Athrun's head turned to the side when Kira forced his body to obey him, pulling the knife out and throwing it away.
'Athrun...Athrun...!' Kira lowered his head, slipping a bit farther down towards the floor than he already was...
"Th-there's a light...in your eyes again..." Athrun whispered happily.
'What is there to be happy about Athrun? I just...I just killed you! I know I did!'
"Speak for me?" the older boy asked softly, raising Kira's head a bit so he could see Kira's eyes.
Kira opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He tried again, and failed again...He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to conjure up some type of word for the friend he'd killed...his only friend...
Opening his eyes, Kira froze. Athrun lay still on the ground, eyes still open...dead...He was cold, and he wasn't breathing.
Kira jumped back from the body in sudden fear, to suddenly hear the sound of flames. Turning around, his eyes met the sight of a viciously burning building! He silently screamed, backing away and forgetting that Athrun's body was there.
But there was no body...the earlier room was gone...
A scream entered his subconscious, and he flipped around.
'Mom!' he recognized her voice.
"Kira...Cagalli...run...!" the woman was saying. He saw before him...his mother, sister,...and him...6 years old...
"But...but mommy!" Kira whimpered.
"Run Kira!" Cagalli ordered, grabbing his arm as she turned around. "We'll meet you outside...mommy!" she had tears in her eyes.
'Cagalli...' Kira knelt down to their size, reaching out to his sister.
But she passed right through him...or maybe it was the other way around...
'What?'
He heard his mother gasp slightly, bringing him out of his daze. The brunette made his way slowly over to his already dying mother. Kira could sense it...the death...
"Please survive...My brave...strong children..." his mother was whispering.
Kira shook his head as he began crying again.
'I'm not strong mom! I'm not!' he cried. 'Come back mommy...come back!'
She fell to the floor, through his outstretched arms. He forgot to breathe.
'First mom died...in the fire along with everybody else...and then I killed...'
"Athrun come back!" he cried out loud, tears pouring down his face.
-
A yell...A pain filled yell...
Athrun sat on the hill where him and Kira always sat while in the dreamscape. He'd recreated the park-like scenery Kira liked so much...Maybe he'd show up if he sat there long enough...
The cry of pain was accompanied by a sound that sounded like someone crying...in tears...
Suddenly, the scenery was nothing but black. There was no rain, as usually accompanied sadness he'd found. This sadness was too great, he guessed. Kira suddenly appeared next to him, a small amount of light appearing so they could see each other. He was crying...and it was him who was yelling...he sounded so sad...
"A-are you...talking?" Athrun breathed out when he realized he was hearing the boy's voice.
"Ah-mm?" Kira's crying ended abruptly as he turned his head. "A-A..."
Athrun felt himself smiling brightly.
"Athrun!" Kira lunged at him. "You...dead...me...ahhhhaaaa!" Kira started bawling again.
Athrun held him tightly. He could tell Kira wouldn't be speaking anymore...it was just...Kira's pain was so great it came out in sound...
"What do you mean I was dead?...Did...did you have a nightmare?" Athrun asked softly.
Kira paused, tears still flowing. He remembered Athrun telling him that nightmares were 'spoiled dreams' and could scare you...
'It was...it was a nightmare?' Kira visibly relaxed, his entire look softening.
"You've never had a nightmare before...have you?" Athrun whispered to the other.
He'd never held or hugged Kira before, but still...he wasn't surprised when he found Kira had no breasts...In his mind, he sighed.
'He's a guy.' he thought happily.
Kira clutched him tighter, now crying in relief. Somehow, Athrun could hear his voice...
'I don't wanna lose you again...'
He understood...Kira hadn't known it was just a dream...He thought Athrun really was dead...and he might've even thought it was his fault...It had scared him...
"I..." Athrun started, brushing Kira's back softly with his hand in a comforting way. "I'm not going anywhere Kira...don't worry..." he kissed Kira's hair softly, hearing the boy (kinda subconsciously) stop crying slowly.
-
'I hope he doesn't have anymore nightmares...he was so scared last night...' Athrun chewed his pencil.
'Man...I wish he'd say my name again...His voice was rough from not using it...but so soft...gentle...It was like music almost...'
Clack!
"Ow..." Athrun held his head, the pencil falling from his mouth.
"I suggest you pay attention Mr. Zala." a male said, going back to the front of the classroom with his ruler in hand.
"Damn...that hurt...and just for a little bit of daydreaming?" Athrun hissed under his breath.
"And now, to continue what I was saying..." the teacher cleared his throat, regaining any attentions he'd lost. "After you have proven two triangles congruent by one or more of the theorems or postulates...you can prove the remaining, corresponding parts congruent using CPCTC. Who can tell me what CPCTC is?" (1)
Three students raised their hands. Athrun closed his eyes and sighed.
"Mr. Zala!" the teacher called on him. "How about you?" he smirked meanly and Athrun shot him a glare.
"CPCTC...means...Congruent Parts...Of...Congruent Triangles...Are...Congruent." Athrun answered bored-ly.
The teacher frowned, but continued with class. And Athrun went back to day dreaming.
Out : End! 4 pgs long. So my chapters aren't that long, don't sue me. -pout-
