Interlude: Emptiness
He panted against the slender body heaving beneath him, tension building up deep within. Urgent whispers told him that the other boy was feeling it as well; they were both near. Heated touches and suppressed moans. Then the release. It was not pleasure or fulfillment that came with the climax; for them, it was never for that.
It was never that.
Silent cries and soft moans of names that did not belong to each other. But it was alright, if they did not call out each other's name; they were not supposed to.
Then they were standing and it was over. He started to leave as he always did but caught sight of a strand of silver entangled in red. He removed the incriminating evidence of what had just transpired between them meticulously from the other's hair.
They watched silently as it flittered to the ground.
Then they left, letting the familiar emptiness swallow them up.
A/N: This was really really short. Like the prologue, it had never been to be a stand alone chapter in the first place. It was supposed to be more like an opening to a chapter. But somehow, I felt that its content deserves to be given enough credit because it is a lead into the heart of the story. I figured it would be a fitting opening to the melodrama that is about to take place in this fic... hehez. Anyway, sorry if I did not write the scene well because I've never written anything explicit before... so am a bit nervous about it. Hehz.
Sorry I took so long to update. Was supposed to finish with Marui and Niou this week, but was kinda caught up. And Niou and Marui turned out to be much harder to write than I thought cos now I have to add in plot and stuff to their indiv screen time unlike beofre when it was just indiv musings. Ah wells.
