Shadow Fire Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 The blond gave his own slight smile, before leaning in closer and placing a kiss on the other boy's cheek. His face reddening quickly at his own actions, he turned around, before picking up a few of the bags. "C-come on..." he stammered. "W-we should... see if your mother's here yet... shouldn't we?"

CorruptedMoon Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Haru blushed a faint pink before smiling and nodding as he went to pick up the rest of the bags as the two went to search for Koto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Len went on ahead a bit, his gaze focused on the ground. What was that all about? Why did I do that? Before he knew it, he'd been bumped into by someone. Glancing up, he looked at the face of a purple-haired boy. "Oh... sorry, kid..." the boy said softly. "I was in a bit of a rush there. I... oh, hey! Haru!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Len blinked, staring at the purple haired teen. I wonder if this is the friend Haru wanted to introduce me to? 'Gaku' gave a wide grin, his hair blowing slightly in the breeze. "Heheh... yeah..." he chuckled. "I wanted to see if you were here first before rushing off to your place. By the way... is he a friend of yours?" He nudged his head towards Len, who was moving a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len gave a polite bow. "Nice to meet you..." he said softly. "I've heard a little about you." Gakupo extended his hand, Len taking it as the two shook hands. The older boy grinned, before turning back to face Haru as well. "First..." the purple-haired male said. "I just wanted to say that your mother saw me on the way, and told me to tell you that she may be a while. She's with Hiyama-sensei at the moment, talking about your schooling. I think she was talking about Len here as well." Upon hearing his name, Len's gaze shifted over, an eyebrow raising. "But I've found out some exciting news..." the older male said, eyes gleaming. "You remember the evil prince? Well, a couple days ago, he was publicly executed!" Len's whole world suddenly shattered around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Gakupo blinked, his expression changing to confusion. "Somehow..." he mumbled. "I figured you'd be happier. Your father has been avenged. All those people he wronged... have been avenged. Light can finally shine in Kiiro once again." Len felt his chest burn. Placing the groceries down, he made a silent retreat, his absence going unnoticed for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 "This is not what I wanted, Gaku and you know that." Haru said sharply. "I never wanted anyone else to die. I wanted him to see justice, but I didn't want another death!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Gakupo held his hands up and took a couple steps back. Even he'd never seen his friend so angry. "Okay..." he said. "I'm sorry. I understand. I just... thought this was the justice you'd have been happy with." Suddenly, he glanced around, noticing the absence of the blond. "Hey!" he exclaimed. "Where's your friend? Where's Len?" Len, in the meantime, had rushed into an abandoned church, tears stinging his eyes, bringing fresh memories back. It's too much to bear...

CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 "Huh?" The brunette looked around, suddenly getting worried. 'Hearing the news must have reminded him of losing his sister...' "I don't know, but I have to find him!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Gakupo nodded, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. "I'm sorry I upset you..." he mumbled. "You know how I am... speak without thinking. But let me make it up to you. Go find your friend... I'll take these supplies to your mother." The purple-haired teen made shooing motions.

Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Entering into the confession box, Len sat on the empty bench and began to sob, not hearing the soft footsteps enter the church. "It's snack time..." he whimpered. "But I'm not hungry. I don't think I'll be able to go on." Clenching his hands into fists, the blond continued. "Forgive me..." he said, voice cracking slightly. "My sins are many. I have killed many. Not personally, but through my very desire. If I could go back, I would do things over. I didn't ask to be Kiiro's prince, and I didn't ask for so much pain. So why? Why is everything so painful?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Haru came inside the church just in time to hear Len's confession. His eyes widened in shock and he paled. Prince of Kiiro?! Len was the Prince of Evil?! It made sense, now that he thought about it. There had been subtle hints. Under any other circumstances, Haru would have been angry beyond belief. But hearing the sorrow and pain in the blonde's voice made his heart feeling like it was breaking. He wanted nothing more than to comfort him and that's what he was going to do as he silently started walking towards him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 "I didn't want to be prince..." he said, continuing. "I just wanted for my sister and I to live happy lives. Too much to ask. I'm the one living when she should be. How is that fair?" Looking upwards, a desperate look came to his eyes. "Please..." he said. "Will you bring her back... in exchange for me?"

CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Haru flinched at the request. He couldn't be serious, could he? He knew he missed his sister, but to want to die to bring her back? That was bordering on insanity! ...No, no it wasn't. If Haru was in Len's place, he'd probably ask for the same thing. Quickening his pace, he knew the other didn't notice him, so he stayed quiet. Instead, he wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len instantly jumped. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Haru embracing him. Shock filled his eyes. "H-Haru..." he mumbled. "You... heard it all, didn't you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Haru spun the blonde around and hugged him again, murmuring soft words of comfort.

Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len just sat there and wept, his own arms hesitantly going around Haru. "Why?" he repeated. "When will it stop being so painful? Why her? Why not me? She deserves life... unlike me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Haru cringed at his words and questions he had no answers for. He could only hold onto him. He wanted to tell him to stop saying such things. It wouldn't make his sister happy now. Seeing him so miserable would probably hurt her. But if he said such things... he shuddered to think of the reaction the blonde would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len gave a soft sniffle, before looking up at Haru. "Thank you..." he said softly. "I'm sorry... for everything... and for lying to you... about who I am..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
