"Frau was caught?" Labrador softly gasped while holding onto one of the flowers nearby, "Imprisoned in the Light Dungeon?"

"Labrador?" Castor noticed.

"Not good! Frau is going to be executed for using Warsfeil!" The silver-haired Bishop exclaimed, a little too agitatedly.

Executed. Warsfeil.

Teito felt his world shutting down as soon as he heard the usually calm Bishop, exclaim. His throat went dry when he felt himself choke upon his own words which he could hardly make out, but he was sure he was asking for Frau's location somehow.

"… Water from the water fountain-"

Water. Fountain.

He was not sure how he heard it but he did. He was already out of his robe and in the waters struggling to reach Frau when he finally realized what he was doing.

Frau. Where are you?

He was grateful for Razette's scale. At least, he was granted a longer time to find the window to Frau's Dungeon. Wait a minute, she was showing him the way to that perverted Bishop as well. Her way of face-transforming is really starting to freak him out. Yet he was thankful. If it hadn't been her, he was not even sure if he could stand to find Frau in such a big place. He wouldn't be sure.

It was him.

Was it his face, or was it that apple he was juggling with his left hand that made him looked not the least anxious, or troubled at all?

Back off, brat!

Teito was about to blast down the wall down before Frau got his Ziaphon activated before his eyes. And come to think of it, Teito had never seen Frau throw any attacks with his Ziaphon. Well it did not turn out as perverted as its owner and somehow, as if it was meant to be engraved on the wall, they were neat letterings. Mikage used to throw his Ziaphon all over the place, messily. And usually, it would give him a headache at the end of the day. Frau's was, different. It was so well trimmed and tamed; one would not believe it came from one of the most destructive of the 07-Ghosts.

"Escaping would be like admitting the crime,"

"I know,"

"Sorry, it'll be a little bothersome for a while,"

"Frau,"

"Thanks for coming."

"But,"

Why must Frau be the one suffering? He was being framed, and yet. What can he do to help him? What was Frau to him anyway? Why is he getting so agitated over a perverted Bishop? Why did he feel so indebt to this guy before him? He was always this helpless at situations like this, he hated it.

"Chapter 37 of the Barsburg Bible is dedicated to you." As Frau's Ziaphon appear before his sight, Teito saw the blonde's gentle smile, "Good luck for the exam!" The chocolate, brown-haired student could feel his heart wrench as the letterings started to dissolve by his palms. This moron… Won't he worry about himself more?

"If you want me to feel relieved, smile."

He could still feel the vibrations hovering near his ears up till now. It was almost like… A kiss. He shivered at the thought of the expression as it flashed past his mind. No, that was not right. He did not just shudder with pleasure. The ticklish feeling he felt near his spine seemed to contradict all his thoughts, even more so than before.

Had he not treat the Bishop as an older brother all along? Those feelings he had were not wrong, weren't they? Why did he feel like he must protect him? He showed Frau his smile, one that he did not even manage to show Mikage. He was not sure if it was counted as one but still, he tried. He wanted to fulfill Frau's every request even if it meant for him to exchange his life for it, and he meant it.

But, why?

It was not because he always wanted Frau by his side.

Was it not?

"Chapter 37 of the Barsburg Bible is dedicated to you."

As long as I am within thee,

"Good luck for the exam!"

My heart shall always be with thee.

He unconsciously pulled the pink Fyulong from munching on his towel into his arms then muttered, "Hey Mikage, is Frau a friend?" This was then accompanied by a 'Kwaah' from the cheerful, pink, fluff ball.

Yes. He might be more, too. He had to save him. Teito would not let another precious person die because of him. He would not allow it even if it meant for him to go against God.

Never again.

Story setting: Between manga chapters 15 to 16, during Frau's execution. This part had so much essence of Teito/Frau in it that it made me love this pairing even more. I really liked how the relationship between those two turn out. It's sort of sadist, yet still a little soft and gentle at times. I bet it made a lot of fan-girls squeal throughout the book/program.

And for those who are wondering how this shot actually fit into the theme, go figure. You can comment and tell me what you think about my writing too. It might turn out too confusing for some, but still I tried my best to keep it in track. I was hoping someone would see my point.

Comments and reviews are most appreciated. Thank you for staying till the end.

Next theme: #3 – Jolt!
