Background: In AFH there is a very brief mention of Kisa breaking up with Bryan. This little tale is that discussion between the two of them.

After being reunited with Tom, Tala, Spencer and Ian I got into the habit of joining them for dinner. No matter how tired I was after training and flying lessons I would still go to meet them.
It was nice to see them each day again. However I was disappointed to see Bryan was never around. Of course Tom had explained what Boris had done to my boyfriend. I just had hope that Bryan was strong enough to fight the effects.
Over a week had passed and I had not seen Bryan once. Training had been especially long today as Mona was trying to re-perfect my launching skills with a classic type launcher. I was falling asleep on the table as the boys told stories of their own practices.
"Sorry guys but I need some serious sleep. See you tomorrow."
Tom looked at me worriedly. "Do you want someone to walk with you?"
I gave him a tired smile. Tom was always so kind to everyone. "No thanks Tom. I can manage on my own. If I don't I'll just wind up in your room again."
This made them laugh. "Pleasant dreams then," Tom said as I was getting up.
"Thanks. Night guys."
I left to a chorus of the boys saying night. It was still great to hear even after a week. It was a sense of normalcy in my life that made me happy.
On my way out I accidentally bumped into someone. I had been yawning hard enough my eyes closed so I wasn't seeing where I was going.
"Watch it!" the person I hit ordered.
I opened my eyes. Of all the luck I had it was Bryan I bumped into.
He looked just as he had the last time I saw him. The only difference was that his silver eyes were more distant. They held a cold hard edge that blocked any emotion from shining in them.
"Hey Bry," I say again yawning. Okay not the most romantic thing I could do greeting my boyfriend on our first reunion in months. But hey I am tired.
"Hn." I hope this is just an act to please Boris.
"I'm on my way out. Can you meet me in the closet you first pulled me into?"
"Whatever."
I gave him a smile. The reply I was taking as a positive response. "See ya soon."

Instead of going to my room like I desired, I went to the closet where Bryan was to meet me. I could get comfy enough in here for a little nap while I waited. All I needed to do was pull my knees up to my chest and rest my head on them.
It was quiet in the halls. Okay they were normally quiet but tonight felt like it was eerily quiet. I couldn't hear any guards' boots scrapping across the floor. Or even kids returning to their rooms after dinner.
I drifted off to sleep trying to hear the noises in the halls.

I was pulled from my sleep by someone shaking me with their foot. My stormy blue eyes open to see Bryan standing over me. A look of annoyance on his face.
"I thought you wanted to talk not sleep in here." His voice was gruff and cold. It lacked the normal humor when were alone.
"I do wanna talk," I said getting to my feet with a pop. When I landed I wrapped my arms around Bryan's neck and rested my head on his chest. "I've missed you so much."
"Why?" He still wasn't warming up his emotions. Heck he wasn't evening hugging me back.
"Bry-bry, we've been apart for months. Why wouldn't I miss my boyfriend? Now hug me back and make me feel secure like you used to."
As requested Bryan looped his arms around me. Like the rest of him, they were stiff, cold, lacking any tenderness that used to come with the touch.
I shook my head backing out of his arms. He didn't give a reaction at all. Before our experiments he would have been hurt from this. Now there is just nothing.
"Tom and the others were right." I couldn't hide the sadness.
"Right about what?"
"You," I sniffed out. "Here we are finally together and you're worlds away from me. The others told me that you stopped expressing emotions except in battle. I didn't want to believe it. I was hoping that what was going on was you pretending to fool Boris. But it's not you fooling anyone. Boris's plan is working."
I fell to my knees crying. Sobs shook my body. Bryan just stood over me not even attempting to ease my pain. He didn't bend down to take me in his arms. He didn't say he was only joking. He just stood there.
This was worse then not having anyone in this Hell pit. I couldn't deal with being a freak and having an emotionless boyfriend. And since I couldn't cut loose being a freak that left Bryan.
I got back to my feet wiping my still falling tears away. Looking into his silver eyes, eyes I could loose myself in, I steeled my nerves for my next words.
"We're over Bryan. Good bye."
I fled the closet as fast as I could. My eyes burned with fresh unshed tears wanting to fall. Somehow I made it to my room without getting stopped. Closing the door with a slam I went to fall on the bed and cry my heart out until sleep claimed me.
Lirin: Coming next time is, well, still going to be in the closet. Takara has suggested doing this scene from Bryan's POV and I loved the idea. After that I'm open for any requests. So please review. Thanks.
