Tsubasa: ADVENTchronicles
Coming of LOVE
A Fai/Kuro collection of drabbles
3. Star of Sorrow
A/N: This drabble was inspired by Trinity Blood! I wanted to write something a little longer. However, it didn't come out like I though. But still, I like the way it happened. Enjoy, and please review!
Kurogane felt the pull of gravity for a moment… the pull of something sad. He could tell it was coming by the look on Fai's face. For a while, the mage had been holding it in. Soon it would all come pooling out. That's how it worked. Fai would hold it in as long as he could, but then he would eventually break from all the pressure and gravity would pull him back down.
Their eyes locked, and Kurogane heard it snap. In a matter of seconds, it would start… as soon as they were alone…
"Kuro-rin! I'm cold! Hold me!" Fai cooed unexpectedly. The look of sorrow passed over his eyes briefly and then disappeared completely and unexpectly, causing Kurogane's eyes to widen in complete shock. After everything that happened, he never imagined that the mage could get over it just like that.
"But you…" Kurogane didn't know what else to say. For once, he was lost for words. Of all the things that could have happened…
This was the least likely.
Fai seemed to notice, because he laughed. "Why should I be sad? There are painful things in the past, but I can't change them. Right now, I'm happy. After all… I'm with you, aren't I? It's better than being alone." He smiled genuinely, pointing to Kurogane.
"Ashura-ou called it the Star of Sorrow." Fai said. "You're sad, but everything full of sadness has a remedy. The thing that makes you happy… is a Star of Sorrow." He explained. Kurogane still didn't quite understand, however, he did know that every world was different and all of them had different views.
This was just another one of them.
Fai sat down next to Kurogane and laid his head on Kurogane's shoulder. "Will you be my Star of Sorrow?"
Kurogane huffed. "Would you listen if I said no?"
"Anyway… it doesn't sound like I have a choice in the matter."
Fai smiled. "You're right. That's why I chose you."
It's inevitable… hitsuzen, the witch called it.
