title: weakness
notes: I just... is it wonderful to write about Yugo when he thinks of Rin and Yuzu together? I mean, there would be something seriously wrong with me if I don't write this - whatever it is. I hope it's in character. SERIOUSLY.
...
I don't even know. I wrote this chapter in ten minutes.
In the days intervening he begins to regret it. Not a lot, but a little bit. Like a weakness that slips in through the cracks of his bravado. In between missing the way her hair smells after a shower he remembers the laughter of his childhood friend, and in between teaching her riding duel that he hates himself for wishing it could have been Rin, not Yuzu even though Yuzu has done nothing wrong.
But the thing with Yuzu is that she isn't Rin, just like the way Yuzu knows that he isn't Yuya. They look alike, but Rin is his dearest and closest friend, the one he forever cherishes - they're YugoandRin and they've been spending forever crafting dreams holding each other's hands and laughing and planning and building and reading and dreaming of days to come and days that have been. Yuzu is pretty and charming and kind and he likes her a lot, if he's honest. But she isn't Rin and she never will be. Yuzu can't ever know where he goes whenever he tells that he needs to be out for some fresh air (and Rin will definitely yell 'Don't ever think of going riding duel alone without me, Yugo!"). Yuzu can't ever know he goes to the garage to look at the forgotten motobike and looking at it as if Rin could jump out at any given moments and said 'Here we go.' Yuzu can't know that he always comes straight to Rin's house after escaping from Security, bruised and tired and doesn't have to know before she flings the door open and crashing into him like a wave into the shore, blazing and desperate and magical.
- Yuzu's presence is a reminder, of how he has lost Rin and of how he's going to save them all.
notes: please review.
(oh Yugo baby you will not save her alone - if you happen to be like Yuto, well -)
I don't know, maybe this collection will have about 12 chapters.
