ENJOY!

Asami Ryuichi survived the every little game the Gods had been playing for a long time. They tried and tried but they all failed. He knew he was not a human when he first landed his feet to the hot sand of the village. He knew he was not supposed to be there but he couldn't remember to what he was or who he was supposed to be. He only knew his name - Ryuichi. Not knowing his purpose in life, Ryuichi continued living in the village co-existing with the other humans he found interesting. He didn't know but he was really different from the others. He could not pinpoint what it was but he just knew until he met a woman. A woman who taught him of what he was lacking.

'Emotions, Ryuichi. You have no emotions.' Said the woman. She was fine woman in the village, finest to compare to the other women. She had long straight black hair just like the color of her eyes, so round and so black. Ryuichi instantly felt something towards her and there was not a day that would pass that Ryuichi would not see her beautiful face. Her presence made him more human making the whole village accept him more than before they had first saw him.

Asami Ryuichi smiled as he remembered his moments with Alina. It has been thousands of years but the memory of her was still fresh like it was just yesterday. The way they had talk, the sories, the long walks, everything. Alina was his light back then. She was the reason why Ryuichi remained the human he never thought he would be until, he realized he can be more than what Alina has made him to be.

It was all because of the pair of blue eyes that looked back at him at the sea shore.

A young man standing just before the little waves of the sea could reach. A young man whose beauty had put Alina's into shame. His hair was shorter than the woman but it was enough for Ryuichi to be mesmerized by it. The pale skin that looked so tender and smooth, the body that was so small he thought might break if he would touch it.

Ryuichi asked him for the second time to who he was might be but it was the same as the other one. He did not answered. The young man had just stared at him not like the other people at the village who were too scared to even look him at the eye. But the young man just did. He looked at Ryuichi until he decided to ran away. It took the man a few moments before he could ask why he suddenly left him? Why the young man just ran off like he was scared of him? Did he do something wrong? He did not. As he convinced himself.

Ryuichi couldn't do anymore about it so, he turned his back and decided to go back where Alina was. It was a celebration after all. She gave birth to a healthy young boy and Ryuichi was expected to be there for the naming of the newest member of the village. He was full of excitement but not as he was into meeting with the young man again.

Ryuichi was very delighted to see the little man trying to get out of his arms, wailing and crying. The scene was anew for them after all, a rare event that the small crowd thought they will never see. The villagers saw Ryuichi as a man with power and leadership. A man that the could do everything yet he couldn't make a new born stop crying. It kept on crying, screaming as the little one felt foreign to the arms of Ryuichi. The man itself was overwhelmed with the life he held on his arms. Life, even so little, could make human emotions the older man could not or difficult to have.

'Ryuichi,' Called Alina, gripping the side arm of the man. 'Who's he?' Pointing to the person outside their humble hut. Ryuichi got alerted and gave back the baby to his mother, then slowly turned his head to where Alina was looking. At first, Ryuichi was having nasty thoughts to whom it was that bothered their private time but when he saw the beautiful blue eyes looking intensely back at him, the murderous thoughts vanished. It was replaced by amusement and adoration instead. The very same thing he felt when he first saw it. The very first one he ever experienced. A calm and light feeling he never knew existed deep inside him. They remained staring at each other until Alina called their attention.

'Ryuichi?'

'What are you?' Asked by the mesmerized man.

The God of Rain nearly backed out when he thought his identity was found out, however, he didn't. The adoration he saw in the eyes of the man was enough for the Little God to remain. To remain and find what he has been missing.

'I-' But he was cut-off by Alina.

'Come,' She approached and started to pull the Little God of Rain inside their humble home. The doubt and fear she had for her newborn vanished as she observed how taken Ryuichi was. She saw a chance and she grabbed it without second thought.

The small figure of the Little God slowly entered the home with full of curiosity on his face. He's experiencing his first times and it was not taking its slow. Alina was excited and all her attention turned to the Little God of Rain than to her newborn that was sleeping soundly on the blanket just nearby. She started preparing for his seat then came some food offering.

It turned to a little feast. A little one that the Little God of Rain did not ever expected. He was experiencing the things he only watched from the sky above, for the first time. He was delighted yet the hole inside him was not getting smaller.

'What's your name?' A sudden question by the man called Ryuichi as what Little God of Rain remembered.

The blue eyed young man just stared at him not knowing what to answer for they don't have names in the sky.

'Don't have one?' Amused Ryuichi asked again.

He nodded getting along with the man.

'Aki,' Ryuichi suddenly said. 'The name suits you. Would you like it?'

Little God of Rain was supposed to get angry. Gods cannot be named by mortals especially if they only just me, or rather not. Not at all. They don't have the rights but the God of Rain was happy. He was happy that someone gave him a name.

Aki. The Little God of Rain had a name. Finally.

'Aki...'

'From now on, your name is Aki.'

'Aki... Thank you.' He answered. The smile he had on his face made Ryuichi feel something he didn't know. Alina was busy attending her new born so there was no way he could ask her. Ryuichi felt he must do something for Aki to keep his smile for it was too precious to be replaced with something else.

Foreign feelings were hard to describe but Ryuichi knew that Aki was the one behind them.

Then afterwards, a decision was made.
He will keep Aki close to him.

Days had gone and still the Little God of Rain remained on the mortal land. Not that he cannot go back but he felt that his mission was still to be accomplished. The emptiness on his chest was there but it was not as void as before. He felt that, slowly, it was becoming toleratable. The hole was being ignored whenever Ryuichi was beside him. There was a calm feeling that only the man could provide. A kind of contentment that he cannot get on the above sky.

Aki was just watching the waves when suddenly, the God of Sea spoke to him.

'You're overstaying.' He said.

'Am I?,' There was sadness on his tone that the God of Sea noticed.

'You've become attached,' Large waves started to reach Aki's feet. 'That is not allowed and you know that!'

'But why do I feel I belong here? Why do I feel contentment? Why?' Standing up he shouted at the vast sea. 'Why do I feel I belong to him?!'

But there was no answer. Just large waves that continued to reach Aki until it reached his body. Another one was about to land on his small body when large arms forcefully pulled him from his stand. Aki could not comprehend what had just happened and when he looked up, he saw a beautiful pair of golden eyes.

'Ryuichi.'

The man did not let go and just hugged Aki as if he will vanish.

'Don't go,' He said. The grip on his body was getting tighter. 'Don't leave me. Us.'

The sadness on his voice did not escaped Aki's ears. It was there and the more he stayed on his arms the more painful it get, emotionally. The thought of just leaving Ryuichi made the hole inside him wider. Wider and wider that Aki trembled.

He was afraid of leaving him.

Afraid of losing him.

Afraid of being alone again.

'I-won't,' Aki pushed himself closer until he surrendered his body to the man. 'I cannot.'

'Promise me. You'll never leave me.'

Aki looked at the golden eyes that mesmerized him too much that it gave him comfort.

'I promise.'

And the large waves of the vast sea retreated.
