Title: Innocence
Character/Pairing/Group: Ruka, Rua
Prompt: Prompt 001 - Forever
Rating: T, for dark themes.
Genre: Family/Angst(?)
Pairing: None as of yet.
Summary: As they grew up, they found out that "forever" was just a lie.
Notes: Inspired by Romeo and Juliet, because somehow our English Literature just went in that direction during our discussion on The Crucible (sweatdrops). This is kind of dark, and I completely twisted innocent curiosity into a kind of dark obsession. (Is shot)

When they were young, barely reaching the age of where one learnt to speak, they spent their time in the same bed. Communicating in a way only they knew, sharing their – however limited – knowledge and dreams with each other, building up their very own utopia.
An eternal dream, where they could spend what humans call "forever" with each other.
But as they grew up, they found out that "forever" was really all just something unreal. A lie. Something humans made up just to escape reality.
Their dreams shattered, and they were never the same again.
And then they discovered the idea of "death".
It was when they saw a very aged play on the satellite broadcast. A play about a pair of star-crossed lovers, written by someone whose name Rua couldn't remember.
He didn't get it at first. Until Ruka explained it to him crossly.
And then he understood. And he asked.
"Ruka, will we end up like them?" His sister shot him a weird look, "Of course we won't. We're not star-crossed like them remember?" She paused, "and Rua... we're not a couple." She continued slowly as if to make sure that he understood that clearly.
"…." He was silent, for a very long time. Ruka raised an eyebrow and proceeded to snuggle deeper into the couch, the huge bowl of popcorn in hand.
She'd decided to let it be. After all, her brother had always been this weird.
A/N: I... have absolutely no idea where this came from.
No. Seriously.
Apparently when I wrote this (and I don't even remember when I wrote this) I was feeling quite down for that period of time. So I wrote this (and the one after this). (shot;d)
The worst thing is that I realise only now (when searching my HD) that I didn't finish the story with the next prompt. So I'll have to finish it. (Not that I mind but...)
This is just a heads up, things might just get dark (and incest) from now on (unless I just decide to leave it like this, or once I complete it and move on to some other stories with the prompts).
