Diclaimer: Do no own!
Also, I apologize for any OOCness! This request was challenging. But this is a drabble, afterall…
Drabble for vs malik
By Pearl of the Dark Age
Aoshi looked out the window, his sharp eyes straining to catch a shadow or sudden movement in the fog. He was feeling extremely uneasy, and the company he kept didn't help.
"Is anyone out there?" Shishio asked darkly. "I'd hate to be discovered here."
"Don't worry about it," Aoshi muttered. He glanced at Shishio, wondering how much the man knew. "We'll be safe here for a while. They don't know about this place. We have tonight just for ourselves to do just as we want."
"Hmm," Shishio murmured, not taking his eyes off the gorgeous man. "You are a complex guy. I never would have thought…"
"Really?" Aoshi replied, curiously. "I knew we'd reach an agreement eventually." He smiled at the man sitting before him. On the plus side, Aoshi thought, I don't have to worry about being cold if I snuggle up with him.
The fog drifted by the small window ominously as if hiding some lurking danger. Every shadow, every sound, and every minute made Aoshi's senses perk up. "You need to relax," Shishio muttered, cajoling. "You are like a statue."
Aoshi sat down upon the tatami mat, but no less acutely aware of his surroundings. "Sooner or later…" he muttered absentmindedly.
"I know you want to kill the Battousai," Shishio whispered. "And that is what this agreement is for. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours."
End drabble.
