Nothing On You
Lavi rested his chin comfortably in his hand as the scenery rolled on past. The sound of rustling clothes dragged his gaze over to his fellow companion within the train carriage. Yuu was slipping off his exorcist jacket, eyes downcast. Lavi hadn't been able to figure out just what was eating at the Japanese beauty but it was both concerning and annoying.
He wanted to help, he really did, but Yuu kept barring him off.
Lavi turned to look back out the window. They'd be crossing through a small town in a few moments, and if Lavi was correct – and he was, because this is Lavi – they'd be in the middle of a festivity that celebrated a female goddess and all the females in the village. It was always rather grand, with bright colours and music, dance, costumes and so on so forth. Lavi was rather disappointed to be missing it this year.
Nearly jumping out of his skin, Lavi's head whipped to the side as Yuu sat next to him, leaning his head on the redhead's shoulder and closing his eyes. Lavi smiled softly and wrapped an arm around the boy's shoulders, frowning when Yuu tightened his fist in Lavi's shirt. Something was very much not ok, but Lavi had learnt by now that with Yuu, it was best to just wait for him to come ask for help, rather than to push the issue.
The girls of village were just as beautiful as Lavi had known they would be, and he removed his arm from Yuu's shoulders to lean forward and get a better view. The coloured cloths fell around them beautifully and their hair was full of bright beads and such.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lavi could see that Yuu was also watching, when suddenly the teen released his hair and began fingering the strands thoughtfully. He quickly split one into three and his nimble fingers pulled the section into a small plait. And suddenly Lavi understood and he smiled. Yuu was having doubts.
He wrapped his arm around Yuu's waist and pulled him in close, so that Yuu's back was pressed to his chest and Yuu was sort of sprawled against Lavi's lap – but it was comfy. Lavi breathed in deeply, loving the smell of Yuu's hair, and he gently released the small plait.
"They got nothin' on you, baby," Lavi whispered reassuringly and after a minute or two, he felt Yuu nod slowly, unsure. Yuu was well aware of the fact that there were many beautiful girls and he was worried that Lavi would soon lose interest. Well, that's what Lavi had figured out from Yuu's attitude. But that would never happen, because if Lavi went after them, his time would be wasted.
Lavi breathed in again. "You're only mine and I'm only yours. They got nothin' on you, baby."
Beautiful girls, all over the world,
I could be chasing, but my time would be wasted.
They got nothin' on you, baby.
Nothin' on you, baby.
