Summery: Suguru is distressed,
and the only way Tatsuha can help him is to make him see.
Someone so brilliant, he was the inventor of intelligence itself once said "Let there be light." And on cue, the world illuminated with a glorious vision, varying from the dark blues, purples and blacks sprinkled with millions of specks called stars, to the reds, gold and oranges that warm the soul, even to those numb to all feeling.
Yet, even though there was or possibly wasn't someone who with a mere pounding of a voice that maybe wasn't even a sound, had given the gift of glory in illusions of the eye, it is impossible, unthinkable for him to see. It is impossible for him to understand.
Maybe once, in moments long forgotten and possibly non-existent, he would look up tiredly at the shining lights of the night and wish to be among them or the flowing blue of the day and wish to sail those seas. Maybe, Tatsuha thought, just maybe once Suguru Fujisaki had the great feeling of exhilaration, the intake of breath that reminded him he was alive and although overwhelmed with responsibility, he felt good to be such.
Truly, Tatsuha would never know. His Suguru-chan was so gathered and composed and to himself that no one could ever possibly tell the teen was human. He couldn't be; no way in hell could that breathing, eating, living thing be a mere human. There was something that made him something much more, or something much less then what Tatsuha and everyone else was.
Suguru was small, slender and fragile, yet so strong-willed and driven. He was he and no one could take that away from him. It was all he had really. His composure, his will and his music were the only things that belonged to him and the only things he belonged too.
And Tatsuha, well, he was the exact opposite. He was only human and he lived like it. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but surely not the dullest. He lived and loved to live. So when he came across such a non-living being such as Suguru, Tatsuha couldn't help himself. He was...intrigued to say the least.
So he went out on his limbs and will to bring Suguru to his home. Nothing was going to stop him, not even Suguru who complained of a busy schedule, when really the schedule mostly consisted of Suguru working before time and over time.
He dragged a reluctant Suguru deep through gardens full of beautiful things that the gift of light allowed them to see, yet Suguru seemed unimpressed, when most people would stop and gawk at such richness the world held. So he continued to walk along deeper, farther amongst plants and flowers so tall and small some tickled their bare feet while some brushed against their heads.
And finally they came to a stop. Tatsuha's hand gripped gently against Suguru's before letting go. He stepped through the tall grass down the very small yet steep dip of land that led him to one lonesome rock. He balanced himself on top of it, walking towards the very end to sit, roll up the legs of his pants, and dip his feet into the water.
The air swirled around him with a sweet, warm scent, wooing him to close his eyes and enjoy the peaceful sound of the small creek flowing beneath his feet.
It was gorgeous. The creek wasn't very wide yet seemed endless in both directions of length. The trees and the wildlife around them was a site to cherish, a site that was seen by very few.
Yet Suguru, still stood in spot, seemingly unfazed by such a breathtaking view. With a sigh, he followed behind his boyfriend, sitting next to him with crossed legs.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Tatsuha turned to him, with a slight smile on his face. To the world and everyone who knew him, they knew that most of the time Tatsuha was a joke, a clown and absolutely optimistic, but at this moment, for just a split second one wouldn't recognize the look on his face. It was hopeless, calm...
He turned back to gaze peacefully at the trickling water, reaching to re-take Suguru's hand.
"Suguru light and sight was created for a reason." Suguru looked at him oddly, not quite sure of what he meant.
"For when you look at everything you see, and breathe, that's when you know you're alive. That's when you can really tell that this is now and there is time for then later." Tatsuha spoke wistfully. It was as though he was floating...drifting with that sweet, warm wind...
Tatsuha looked back at the downcast face, full of worries and stresses and problems that would eventually be solved, whether the answer and outcome be good or bad. Worries and stresses and problems that something had to be done with them or they would linger there in his mind forever, with regret over a bad resolution.
He pulled that troubled body down to lye in his lap, stroking his hair lightly.
"Breathe Suguru, take a moment to understand everything for what it is...just...breathe.
And Suguru did; he closed his eyes and inhaled air. And whether it is the first time in ages, or the first time in his life ever, Suguru felt it from the core of his heart throughout the veins in his body.
He could vaguely recall a time around the age of two or three, when he was outside just gazing at the blue sky, the sun shown brightly down on his eyes. He flew his hands above his head to place himself under a shadow, yet ended up giggling at how funny his hands looked against the sun. Not that the memory was important, not that it probably even existed to an extent beyond his far away dreams, but he could recall it, and that meant something.
And when he opened his eyes it was Tatsuha's head that blocked the sun from pounding on him, it was Tatsuha.
Suguru breathed again, looking at his surroundings, truly amazed by what light could do.
And just like that, Tatsuha had said "let there be light" in his own way and action, and on cue, Suguru illuminated with a glorious vision.
