As compared to my other drabbles, this one's pretty dramatic itself. However, I didn't place it under the category of drama since I felt the hurt and comfort conveyed through Tsubasa and Misaki's exchange. Note: It's a TxM drabble, not an NxM (though it may seem like one at first - if it's the dialogue or plot we're talking about)

Drabble 6: Tsubasa x Misaki

Main Genre: Hurt/Comfort

Word of the Drabble: Return

Dedicated to: To IN, though I may not know when you'd be back again, I'd still be waiting.

In the pale moonlight, his silhouette moved quickly, stealthily weaving its way into the night.

In the pale moonlight, she moved alongside him discreetly, matching his movements with nimble and lithe ones of her own.

Then he stopped, and so did she. He was unsure whether he was being followed. She knew he felt her presence.

"Misaki," he called out from the shadows.

"Tsubasa," she showed herself, responding to no one in sight.

The wind rustled as they stood there. He saw her, but apparently she couldn't.

"Where are you going?"

"Out."

"What do you think you're doing?" she chided exasperatedly.

"Doing my kouhais a favor," he plainly answered.

She swallowed, knowing his valiant actions were always out of his stupid altruism.

"But why?"

To this he gave it no thought because he knew what to say by heart. "Because she loves him and they deserve to be with each other."

"Tsubasa, why?" she spoke out in her chagrin.

"I care about my kouhais. I'm doing this for the sake of their happiness."

She couldn't help but feel the tears burning in her eyes. "Tsubasa…"

"Need you say more? I thought you were friggen' mad at me today?" he grated at her brusquely.

"That was only because you dumped your frosty at me, and might I add that it was practically 13 degrees outside," she pointed out, her tone still solemn.

"I'm sorry."

She paused. He didn't fret nor prod, but just waited.

"Have you no idea what'd happen to me if you left?" she blurted out vehemently.

"Yes."

"Jerwad." Her toiling anger couldn't seem to evaporate.

WHOOSH!

He eventually stepped out of the shadows, sporting a simple gray mask on his face. "Misaki, I'm sorry."

She crossed her arms and turned her back on him. He took of his mask and chucked it to the ground.

"So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me..."

He didn't hasten her, and waited when it was only a matter of time until she finally faced him with bright eyes sparkling with tears.

Wordlessly, she tugged on his tie and pulled him to a soft kiss before saying, "I will."

He embraced her, basking in the warmth of her presence. Then after a brief moment of holding her in his arms, he looked at the small smile gracing her lips.

"Close your eyes, I'll be on my way." He placed a hand on her shoulder and swept the other over her eyes to close them.

A distinct whisper, a mild breeze, and he was gone.

She opened her eyes and murmured, "Bye."

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time, let me kiss you,
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

Leaving on a Jet Plane – John Denver

In truth, I was supposed to write something comical and humorous for the two, basing it off the song Something Stupid Like I Love You by Frank Sinatra. This idea just stuck on when I was listening to some Glee songs and heard Matthew Morrison's (Will Shuester) revival of the classic Armageddon theme song by John Denver. I didn't decide on using it for Natsume and Mikan since I wanted it to be different and I had something else planned out for them already.

But hey, thanks for reading anyway. ;) Huh, review? :o
