Lonely

The taste of tears are on my lips. Her tears fall down, one after the other. I seen it in her eyes. Shes just like me. How can we be alike? She is a shinigami and I, an arrancar? She fighting to save others while I fight against her? Alone. Shes alone like me. Alone in a see of people.

She avoids their eyes. She tries acting strong. Acting isn't enough anymore. She hides behind a mask. Does she think they are too clueless to be able to tell? Maybe they are. If any notice, they hide it well...or do they simply don't care?

I notice. I care. Strange huh. Why should I? It would be bothersome. A wasted effort...but I don't want you to end up like me...to become me. So tonight, I am not an arrancar and you are not a shinigami. We are to beings that understand each other. Tonight, I can comfort you with this arms by embracing you. These lips of mine will say soothing things to you and press them against yours on impulse.

Your tears are caught on my lips. The salty taste now in my mouth. Why are you crying? Sadness? Anger? I look into your eyes and now I know. Its relief. For once you are not alone. So tonight I will not leave you. Not because I want to or because I should. Tonight I stay with you because I just can't leave you alone.


Very short one-shot.
