Conflict of Interests
Drabble 42: Pieces
By: Kigen
Unofficially entitled Bedtime Stories of a Crimson Nightmare. YohLyserg. Yoh angsts for once. Beware the change.
As a side note, I understand you all want longer drabbles. Since I got the second request to make them longer, I started to make an effort to lengthen them to about 400-500 words instead of the current 200 something that I've been posting. However, I don't sit down each day and write a drabble. I write a bunch of them at once, when chatting with Crimson Nightmare. As much as I know you all want longer drabbles, I'm not throwing away the three more (not including this one), I had written before that. So just be patient, and wait a little while longer for longer drabbles.
As a second note, I understand that because my readers want longer drabbles, they will of course mention this in the reviews. However, be polite about it. I don't mind constructive criticism, I changed the way I write to make it more enjoyable for my readers. However, when I receive reviews that swear at me, and only contain something along the lines of readers demanding that I 'make them longer;' especially when they don't include what else they think of my writing, it makes me not want to post at all. So, please include constructive criticism if you feel it necessary. Feel free to tell me what you like and don't like. But please, be polite about your reviews. Thank you.
Disclaimer: My anime store doesn't have anything with Lyserg on it. It has stuff with Yoh and Amidamaru and Anna and Manta on it, but no Lyserg. If Shaman King was mine, there would be more Lyserg stuff… Like NC-17 rated doujinshi.

It always hurt Yoh to see Lyserg the way he was; so small and alone and afraid. Always breaking to pieces right before his eyes; smaller and smaller.
If it hurt Yoh so much just watching Lyserg, he couldn't even begin to image how much it was hurting Lyserg.
He lost control that night. Yoh wouldn''t deny it.
He grabbed Lyserg by the arm, pressed him to his chest; pressed him so close he could feel the younger boy's erratic heartbeat thudding against his own chest.
He whispered gentle words to Lyserg; kissing him, touching him. The touches were so light and gentle, as he tried to comfort the dowser anyway that he possible could. He tried hard, so hard; to keep the boy from breaking anymore than he already had. He tried so hard to put the pieces back together again.
Yet, when he lay in the bed, Lyserg pressed against his side.
Naked flesh against naked flesh.
And the hurt boy just sobbed and cried, and clung to Yoh like he was all he had in the world.
Yoh couldn't help but feel another stab of pain in his chest.
Lyserg was hurting so much, but did what he just did hurt him even worse? Did he just shatter Lyserg into such tiny little pieces that he could never be put back together again?

Yoh angsted for once. … That felt odd. Some HaoLysergYoh humor next time. Handcuffs and lost keys. I'm sure you all know what's coming.
Thanks for reading, and please review.
Ja min'na-san!
