The place where you are

Fay watched him stand there, staring at nothing. His eyes was open, his arms firlmy placed across his chest. The sun glinted down from the clear sky and it seemed as though everything was in balance. Like the world was in a divine peace, just this day, just this brief moment. Everything, the earth, the sky, even the moving clouds was in harmony. Everything except the two of them. He could see it on his mouth, on the slight strain on his eyebrows. He could tell by the pace of his breath, that he was not at ease.

"Kuro-mi shouldn't pout," Fay grinned. "You are going home!" Kurogane's gaze returned from a place far away and looked at Fay. There was a moment of silence, not an awkward silence, a silence that is needed, and that says more than all the words in the world, however, Fay was not able to decipher those unspoken words. They remained a mystery, a tune yet to be played.

"I am," Kurogane's mouth moved slowly. Just less than one second slower than what was normal yet Fay could tell. The tension in the air around him, the tone of his voice, the strained look on his face, all those things, pained him greatly. Fay forced his smile brighter, smiling foolishly at the other man, his eyes closed to the sun.

"I guess this is goodbye then?" Fay smiled opening his eyes. He wanted to ask why he was not happy, but decided he wouldn't push things out of him that he did not want, things that would break him. Faster. "It's a nice day to say goodbye…" Kurogane didn't open his mouth. It remained closed and Fay was yet again frozen in time. And this time it hurt. The silence granted by the flow of time and all things that had happened since that day in the rain hit him like daggers. All he wanted was to leave, to kiss, to die, to love, and yet he couldn't.
