Conflict of Interests
Drabble 22: Highest Tower
By: Kigen
Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare. Angst. YohLyserg teen rated angst ahead.
Disclaimer: Once Shaman King gets remade with Yoh and Anna being 'just friends' and having the Shaman King take an deep interest in Lyserg, and Hao coming back to life or whatnot to fight with Yoh for Lyserg, you'll know it mine. Until then, enjoy the fanfics.
:-:-:-:-:
There were things Yoh knew very well that he wasn't allowed to touch upon when it came to Lyserg's past.
He wasn't allowed to mention his parents' deaths.
He couldn't talk about his nightmares.
Yoh couldn't do anything but whisper soothing words whenever the younger boy had a flashback. He could only hold Lyserg tightly to his body when he cried.
It was like there was a part of Lyserg locked far away that he couldn't get to.
It was almost like the fairy tale princess locked away in a tower where she waited for her prince to come and save her.
Except…
Yoh couldn't be that shining knight dressed all in white. Lyserg would never let anyone get close enough to the tower to save him.
It was the dowser who held the key to the locked door that kept him far away from everyone. It was the dowser's pain that created the dragon which wouldn't let anyone close; not some wicked witch.
So Yoh just had to accept that.
But that didn't mean he wouldn't try, again and again; to reach the highest room of the tallest tower. There, he would free Lyserg from the dragon that kept him captive and the memories that wouldn't let him go.
After all…
What else was the prince to do but rescue his princess?

Fluffy, fluffy, so cute it burns romance next chapter.
And it's YohLyserg. I'm getting it out of my system while I can.
Please review and thanks for reading.
Ja manna-san!
