~//[TRC] - Secrets Behind Cracked Smiles

<< < (8/31) > >>

Sakaki:
Through half-closed eyes, Fai could see the campfire in the distance.
Kurogane, who had been making a quick pace, suddenly came to an abrupt halt and before Fai could even glance at the ninja's face to see what was wrong, everything changed.

Just as suddenly as Kurgane's strong arms had pulled him from the endless abyss,
Fai felt himself thrown roughly to the frozen ground.

He lay in the snow gasping, trying to regain control of the breath that was knocked from his body. He chanced a glance up at the face of the dark ninja that loomed above him and upon seeing the look of rage on the other man's face, wondered briefly if Kurogane had pulled him from the jaws of death only to kill him with his own hands.

Fai's blue eyes widened and he sucked in his breath sharply at Kurogane's expression. He had seen the other man angry many times but he had never witnessed such a look of utter uncontrollable rage.

Even in his surprised exhaustion, Fai sensed more than rage going on in Kurogane's expression. Waves of hurt were coming from the man.
But why....? What could I have done to hurt you....Kurogane?

Ruby Chan:
As the wizard stared up at him through wide blue eyes, Kurogane trembled with rage, his hands clenched into fists. He could tell Fai was confused, and it was just making him angrier. Doesn't he understand? How can things go back to the way they were before? It's all changed...everything's changed....

Raising a hand as if to strike the other man, Kurogane suddenly growled, lowering it as he realised he could never hurt Fai like that. Instead, he settled for bellowing;
"Don't you dare look at me like that! How can you just stay silent, after what you did? How can you just look so innocent, as if nothing happened? Why did you do it, you stupid mage!"

Dropping to his knees, Kurogane slammed a fist down into the ground, bare centimetres away from the wizard's head. To his shock, he realised that he was crying, although he wasn't sure if they were from grief or rage.
"You idiot...I hate you! I hate people like you! You just don't give a d.a.m.n about anything! I HATE you, Fai!" He roared.

He saw the stab of hurt in Fai's eyes, but ignored it, just carrying on, caught up in his fury.
"You do nothing except hide behind that fake smile of yours, and you never let anyone see the true you...not until it's too late. You're just a hollow shell, Fai....and I don't understand how a hollow shell can make me feel this way...I hate you so much..."

Sakaki:
Fai edged back in confusion as the other man bellowed over him in a rage.

The mage wouldn't have recognized the expression on Kurogane's face had he not worn it so many times himself in the past.
It was blind hurt that Kurogane was trying to express, and this shocked Fai who had rarely seen any expression from the man besides anger or boredom.
How? He acts as if I've hurt him somehow? How have I hurt you, of all people, Kurogane?

Fai stared up at the ninja, fear turning slowly to disbelief, as he felt warm, salty tears sofly hit his face.
"Kurogane.........." He whispered, too afraid to say more, too afraid to look away from the ninja's eyes. As if this were their last chance. Their last chance to express something important, and if he broke away from the ninja's gaze he'd lose it forever.

Then suddenly and without warning, Fai's disbelief turned to utter shock, as he felt Kurogane pounce upon him.

Ruby Chan:
As the blonde wizard locked eyes with him, Kuorgane couldn't hold it any more. Allowing free reign to his emotions, he leapt at Fai, pinning him down into the snow. Before Fai could react, he was kissing him, lips moving in an act of what seemed to be pure desperation. It was rough, and without feeling...but somehow...it felt so right....

Beneath him, Fai made a startled squeak, but Kurogane had no worries about the mage rejecting the kiss....he'd said he loved him, hadn't he? Ignore all that...just enjoy the moment. A small voice whispered in the back of his mind. To his chagrin, it sounded exactly like Tomoyo-hime.

Finally, he moved back, releasing Fai's lips regretfully. The wizard just lay there, gazing up at him in shock. Kurogane smiled bitterly.
"You're just a hollow shell, Fai. And I don't know how you do it, but...you make me a shell too."

Before the wizard could reply, Kuorgane was off and running. With any luck, by the time Fai made it back to camp, he'd have been able to put the whole incident behind him, and go back to treating the mage like dirt.

I wish...

Sakaki:
Before Fai could even guess at what the ninja was planning, Kurogane's warm, full lips were upon his and kissing him with such desperation and need that Fai reacted to it without hesitation, matching the man's passion with his own.

If only we could stay this way...
If only it could be like this...always.

Fai began to lose himself in the ninja, forgetting everything, when suddenly Kurogane jumped away from him and hurried off towards camp.
Fai watched the snow swirl around him, dazed and unmoving, for several minutes, not wanting to lose the feeling of Kurogane against him.

Confusion hit him as he began to get up and brush the snow from his torn clothes.
He says he hates me...and yet?

As Fai began to walk, his fingers rose to touch his lips, still warm from Kurogane's desperate kiss only minutes ago, and following the ninja's solid footprints back to camp, Fai's confusion only grew.
