All I Want To Say...
//Nega ou na nundero chashi ninnun mosupu kudero
//Ijekko! Sumuge watton pimiruru nege motou marago shipo BABY
//FUNNY HOW ALL DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU noe gyode kuryojiru
//Kumugyoru gatoun nae miredo
// Here I am, wishing to be by myself
for a change (ha--)
// Till now you talk to me, but I've
been keeping secrets from you (baby)
// Funny how all dreams come true
// You're important to me, so I'll protect
you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you
// You're near me in my dreams as I paint
my future
Hikou sighed as he stepped outside and looked
up at the night sky. Above him, millions of stars glittered like
diamond dust against the clear night sky. After everything that had
happened that day, he was ready for some relaxation but knew he wouldn't
get any with the bandits, who were, once again, celebrating. They
were understandably overjoyed when Kouji, Tasuki, Chichiri, and he had
returned from their battle with Arcadia and insisted on a party in their
honor, but that was the last thing he needed at the moment. He had
snuck out while Tasuki told them of the battle, fortunate that they all
seemed absorbed in the tale. In his mind, he could still hear Arcadia's
last words to him.
"I'll get you for this, Hikou," she hissed, two
crimson slits turning to look vehemently at the man. "In this world and
every other world you exist in, I'll make you pay for this."
He shivered involuntarily and closed his eyes,
wondering if those words were a threat...or a promise. He walked
a little further from the main building before settling under a tree and
looking at the sky. His thoughts wandered to the time he had spent
in the Darkness and drew his knees to his chest. He wanted more than
anything to forget everything that had happened then and to be at peace,
but he couldn't seem to forget; especially not after Arcadia had reminded
him how weak he had been then. A tear made its way down his cheek
and he leaned his head back against the tree. He jerked when a hand
gently caressed his cheek and opened his eyes to find Kouji looking down
into them.
"Sorry," he said quietly, brushing the tear
away with his thumb lightly. "Didn't mean ta startle ya."
"N-no, it's...alright. I was just thinking..."
"Oh..." he sighed quietly and sat beside the
older man. "'Bout what?"
"I..." Hikou began, but then sighed and rested
his forehead against his knees. "I'm...worried about what she said..."
"Ya think she'll find a way back? Is
that possible?"
"Probably, knowing her" the mage replied bitterly.
A part of him wanted Kouji to go away and leave him alone. But then
there was the part of him that wanted to be with Kouji in ways he could
only imagine. "Why are you here?" he found himself asking, though
he wasn't sure if he was asking Kouji or himself.
"Cause...I love ya..."
Those words, spoken so honestly, made Hikou
look up and study the horizon. Somehow, those simple words had touched
a part of him that he hadn't known was there. He blinked a few times
and then looked at Kouji.
"Hontou?" He felt a little foolish for
questioning the bandit, but, still, a part of him doubted him somewhat.
"Hontou."
//Choumu nukkimu kudero charittetto nukkimu kudero
//Soroga yakusokke tongotcho romu katoun sengaku nakko issotchi BABY
//FUNNY HOW ALL DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU no hanaman saran e
// I'm starting to feel your feelings
getting tighter around me (ha--)
// We both share the same promises as
we wait for others (baby)
// Funny how all dreams come true
// You're important, so I'll protect
you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you, because
I'm loving you by myself
Hikou nodded after a moment of thought and
stood up. He sighed heavily and looked up at the sky to find Chichiri's
constellation.
"I..." his gold eyes slid closed as he sought
for words to describe what he felt.
"Daijoubu, Hi-kun," Kouji smiled, though his
eyes gave away what he thought the mage was thinking. "I told ya
that I don't mind if ya don't feel the same way. Look, I'll go back
inside and leave ya alone fer a bit, ok?" He turned and started to
walk off. "Sorry..."
"Kouji...I..." Hikou sighed, bowing his head.
His voice was a lump in his throat and he gritted his teeth. 'Why
is it so hard for me to say it?' he wondered. He looked back to find
Kouji was a few yards away and shook his head. He sprinted after
the younger man and grabbed his upper arm, turning him sharply towards
him. 'If I can't say it...' He pressed his lips to the startled
bandits determinedly before relaxing the grip on his arm.
//COME ON LOVER onjena touri hamuke nega innun na hen bokkaruke yo
//Toisan surupun norenun toutchi anurukoe yo nemamuru arugetchi yo
(wo--)
// Come on lover, when will we be together?
// When I'm with you I'm happy, so just
listen to my song and I won't need anything more
// Will you understand my heart?
Kouji's eyes widened and then slid closed as he melted into the kiss with a soft sigh. He wrapped his arms around Hikou's waist as the mage's arms encircled his shoulders. He felt Hikou's tongue brush against his mouth and parted his lips, moaning softly as the mage's tongue came in contact with his. The two held each other like that until their lungs burned for air and they were forced to part. In that moment, gold eyes met emerald and silently told the bandit everything he needed to know. With a slight nod, he kissed Hikou briefly and silently led the mage by the hand to a more secluded place.
//DREAMS COME TRUE naruru chikyojuru ko ya
//Akkyo watton chagun sarando
//FUNNY HOW I FEEL FOR YOU
//Noe gyode kuryojiru kumugyoru gatoun nae miredo
// Dreams come true
// You're important to me, so I'll protect
you no matter how small love is
// Funny how I feel for you
// You're near me in my dreams as I paint
my future
