Fallen
"I am not happy."
Yuugi flinched at the suddenness of the statement and the growl that followed. His grey, feathered wings curled around him further when a blast of icy, biting wind hit him. His head ducked between their protection when his companion strode past him, pacing along the length of the room in a simmering rage.
"Yami..."
"Don't. Not now."
His wings twitched at the interruption, he peeked over the soft feathers and saw that Yami had paused near the door, his back facing Yuugi. The black wings stretched out magnificently as if they had still been their pure white, Yuugi sighed as he realised how far gone his lover was, judging by the colour of the wings.
The dark wings folded up abruptly, and he turned around, facing Yuugi, his crimson eyes lighting up in barely suppressed anger and the wind picked up considerably in his ire.
"His precious creations get to have free will but we have to follow him blindly! It's not fair, we worshipped Him for millennia and this is what we get, banished with the humans."
"Calm down, Yami." Though the suggestion was completely ignored and a sneer rose to his lover's face.
"How can you not hate Him?"
"Because now we get to be free, I can't hate Him for giving us the freedom to do as we wish... finally. He sees this as a punishment but, Yami, I see this as our everything! How many times have we looked down at the world and wished we could do what they did?"
"But for it to actually happen is a completely different thing, lover! We have no idea how to act, no knowledge of how the world works, He's basically left us helpless." Yami's breathing was heavy, his crimson eyes dulled as he stared blankly over Yuugi's shoulder, "I have never regretted loving you –"
Yuugi's breath hitched in his throat and he worked his vocal muscles until he squeezed out softly, "Are you saying you do now?" Tears gathered in his eyes and threatened to spill forth.
Yami's eyes brightened and instantly he was embracing Yuugi's slight form in his larger one, clutching desperately to where the grey wings met the slender back. "No, never! Never think that, please."
The wind had all but stopped as Yami calmed slightly and the large, black wings curled tightly around both bodies.
Yami's eyes darkened as his mind continued to work and think over what had happened, "I just wish for it to be different." He squeezed Yuugi against him, protecting him from the wind that, once again, had increased in speed and ferocity. "I want Him gone! If only we could..."
Yuugi separated himself from Yami hastily, mauve eyes glittering dangerously as he gazed at his lover, "Don't even think about it, Yami! We'll be killed and you know it. There hasn't been a rebellion in millennia and there isn't going to be one now." Yuugi voice pleaded for no arguments, his eyes screamed at his lover. "We don't need this!"
"This what?" Yami's hands rested heavily on Yuugi's shoulders, not allowing him to be unconnected from him, not allowing the other male to leave him.
"This vengeance!"
"We could do it though, Yuugi!" Yami's eyes had dulled again and his voice had lowered to a whisper, "We could overthrow Him!"
Yuugi's eyes closed, knowing for a fact what was about to happen. He hoped, against hope, that it wouldn't, but knowing that it was all in vain.
Yuugi's jaw clenched tightly and his wings spread out when a dark and suggestive voice filled the room,
"Did someone say something about overthrowing the Lord?"
Yuugi's eyes snapped open at the familiar dark power that flowed through the room (though his lover gave no indication that he was aware of his surroundings) and Yuugi's head jerked in the direction of the where the voice had came from. There, in the far corner of the room, stood a white haired demon with orange flames licking up his arms and a dark liquid spilling from his bare feet onto the floor. His eyes glittered gleefully as he stared at Yuugi's, now susceptible, lover.
Yuugi pleaded desperately, to something or someone, that by the end of this night they, at least, still had their wings. Regardless of what colour they ended up being.
