:pout: Gil and Ram don't get enough love, so I decided to write a series of snippets for them, but as it seems that no one reads them, I decided, heck, I might as well just put their snippet in here. Sorry Kage Ohkami (quick word at the bottom). But at least that means two things: a, a quick update, and b, that I have more Gillaam ready. yay!

Warnings: slight angst, fluff, andshounen-ai

Enjoy!

Dragon Knight Snippets: Empty

Raamganas sometimes worried about Gil. It was only natural that he'd sometimes remember his time in Nadil's army, of course, but he still worried. Even more so because he couldn't do anything about it.

It was usually when it rained, especially during the rainy season, when it was day after day of gloomy weather, keeping them inside and robbing Gil from the sunlight he loved to bask in.

Ram would always wake up with a sort of empty feeling, more physical than anything else, and he would wonder what was missing… the bed was warm, but not as much as usual… and then he'd reach out blindly and find nothing next to him.

Rising, he looked around, though it was unnecessary, since he knew exactly where Gil was when he got into one of his depression periods. Moments when his mind was years in the past, a world away, back into the hell and torture he'd endured under Nadil's army.

Sitting with his arms crossed on the windowsill, staring blankly at the falling rain outside, Gil didn't even glance at Raamganas as he got up and dressed, made the bed and quietly made his way over.

The crimson-haired demon wrapped his arms gently around Gil from behind, remaining quiet as he joined him in watching the rain splatter on the windowpane and drip down to pool at the bottom of the window sill. The wind shook the trees and shaped the rain into swirls, and the sky occasionally flashed dimly.

But Gil's beautiful, golden eye was empty, and he didn't respond to Ram's gentle nuzzle.

Raamganas couldn't stand to look at his face, it hurt too much, so he kept his gaze trained on the window, tightened his grip momentarily on the smaller demon and whispered slowly.

"I love you, remember that."

He finally got a response, though it was just a thoughtful, hesitant nod, and Ram knew there was nothing else he could do.

"Thank you…"

Hm... it's probably not exactly what you expected, but the next one's more cheerful. By the way, if you like Gillaam, I've a fic written called Comfort in the Snow. Very angsty and fluffy. Just thought I'd drop that.

Anyway, I'll update if there's enough reviews. Spread the Gillaam love! Next one is... the Thatz/Rune one that was originally supposed to be the next update.

Kage Ohkami: Well, you either skipped this chapter or reread it, so... I guess it's kinda disappointing that I removed the fic, but I figured I might as well put the Gillaam in here, and maybe make others believers in their absolute adorableness :laughs:

Reviewer: Thank you! I thought that was a cute line too, thought you'd have to read my other Gillaam fic :points above: to understand the nickname completely.

Crazy meowmeow: I can't wait til the next couple books come because (WARNING SPOILER) Ram comes back! And him and Gil are sooooooooooo adorable, Gil is the sweetest, shyest thing ever. I have scans, and I practically drool over them... and Gil, cause he has to hottest outfit I've ever seen. A collar for a kitten :grins: Hm... I should do a snippet on that... :grins wider: Oh, and I pronounce it... Ram (with a soft r, almost l) -gar (like garden) nas (like nasty)... but I'm not sure either!

Capella: Thank you! R/C has always been... interesting, but I'm not too good at writing them out of canon in a way I like, so that's usually how they are...they're not my favorite couple though, so I don't write much with them...I should do another one soon...I thought you'd like the Rune/Tint one :smile: I did promise to do more of them. Kage Ohkami said the same thing about worshipping me :laughs:huggles Gil and Ram: They're so fun to write, especially since Ram's not too much of an... explained character, I can do whatever I want with him. Pretty much the same for Gil too.

angstluver: The author alert idea's probably a very good one with my fics :sweatdrop: I never know when I'm going to update either... ranting's fun! I do it all the time!

Eikou: Glad to see you're back :happy: Well, in 8 and 9 is where Gil comes in, and though you don't find out much about Ram except that he rescued Gil, there's some ... quite telling (and cute) pics with them that just make you wanna pair them up, and suggest he was a kind character, maybe a bit eccentric (not in a bad way...) and that they really cared for each other. Kharl's hilarious... the way Garfakcy treats him like a little kid is sooo funny... Anyway... it's sometimes hard to come with new ideas for the snippets... :blinks: dude... I just came up with the randomnest (is that a word?) idea ever... after spacing out for a bit...

:Done talking now: thanks for all the reciews! It's really awesome to read them :grins: Interesting comments and it's just cool to see what people think of what you write. bye!
