I'll give you.. depressing fluff. xD 'Cause I'm still working on the slash~
The shower head continued out it's fusillade of tepid water, creating a downpour of anguish that was flooding out Barden's heart, drowning him. For three hundred and fifty-nine years, he was silent. As his words continued, the vapor in the air grew suffocatingly thick.
"Everyone," he started, those once tangerine orbs dimming to a full, disheartening brown, "Everyone I ever loved is dead.." Barden's head tipped backwards, blond eyelashes batting shut to shield his optics from the onslaught of warm droplets as they mixed with his own seeping tears.
None of this was helping the pitiful mass of blue that stood in the damp room, staring at his love. Kai was already distraught and confused and under oh, so much stress. He didn't want to be hearing this. His health honestly couldn't handle it. His thoughts swirled as the heat rose from the tips of his toes to his scalp, his oceanic irises collected pools of bittersweet saline. What could he do? What could he possibly say? Jaw lowering gingerly, he opened his throat and just hoped for the best.
".. 'Tis better to have loved and lost.. than never to have loved at all.."
Wait, no. He didn't mean that. Did he? That would just make things worse. And all he wanted was for Barden to be happy. He immediately brought his small hands to rest on his hot flesh as a flash flood of blood surged to his soft features.
Snapping out of his daze under the flow of water, the blond's eyelids popped open harshly. A light tilt of his head so he could get a decent view of the boy, his eyes flickered with remorse of seemingly everything, ".. Kai-kun." How could he be so ignorant as to dump all of his problems on the kid? He was strong enough to hold it back; he'd done so for centuries. But no, something within him was screaming at him to let lose. And that voice was only audible around little Kai.
Kai hunched over slightly, clutching at his abdomen. "Well.. I don't want to start any suspicions.. especially from that man downstairs..?" he puffed out lightly, between sniffles and wheezes, "So.. I'll be seeing you." The acerbic fluid pooling in the crevices of his eye sockets then began to flow, sliding down his cheeks as slivers and needles of pure ice.
"Stay.." the larger of the two breathed out, looking down into the bathwater, then up to his companion. Making searing eye contact, the blue boy nearly fell backwards from the connection. Whenever those glowing orbs of the purest orange would look at him, he felt as if he were melting; as if everything was fine and calm, like nothing or no one was ever going to hurt him again.
".. I'll go get someone else to come up.. the mist might be getting to me," he blinked profusely, looking to the floor in an attempt to break the contact. The room was becoming more dim and damp by the second, as Kai began to feel incredibly faint. He hardly noticed when his love stood from his sitting position on the bath, and sauntered over to him with the most grace he'd ever seen- well, from what he could tell.
Out of the blue, those soaking wet, golden tresses that resonated warmth and the scent of grass and oranges were floating along his jawline, caressing and ticking at his pallid flesh. Muscular limbs clambered over his petite frame as he was locked in a gentle, reassuring embrace. In the most heart-wrenching voice he'd ever heard, a light crack came from the chest that laid before him, ".. If it's not you, then I'd rather have no one.."
.. Fluffu. -Sobs- I guess you need the context.
Barden = Incredibly tall (6'2"), blond, tanish, sextastic orange eyes.
He's.. a nasty flirt and jock and all that wonderful stuff.
He's.. too sexy for his own good, -Facepalm-. He's one of my few Americans.
Kai-kun = Incredibly short (5'4"), pale, with amazing hips. Blue hair, blue eyes.
He's like your typical nerdy kid, constantly working with technology or reading. -Nods-
He's.. too adorable for his own good, -Headdesk-. .. And haha, he's British.
They've both been around for.. well, in my little universe, 359 years.
Barden.. can't remember ANYTHING of vital importance from way back when due to memory erasing and whatnot. He's one of those fellows who doesn't find it "manly" to cry or share emotions.
And Kai can remember everything, vividly. He has incredible sprees of depression due to this.. and has ulcers and yeah, he's been through some rough crap.
But Kai has constant "I don't feel good enough" moments and an awful inferiority complex. And Barden has wonderful ".. Nn, I'm going to hurt him, I know it. Damn damn damn" moments.
It's kind of set.. in Ai's bathroom, which is odd. But Kai kind of walked in on him just sitting in the bath with the shower running on his head.. so he was naturally concerned.
Baw.
They're cute, though. His pet names for Kai are pretty much, "Kaaaai-kuuuun" and "Little Blue~". =u=
xD Wow. Uh. There you go.
That was a bit longer than I originally expected.. I need to work on that.
