[nc] Paired Hearts
title: Paired Hearts
challenge: n/a
pairing: implications of RuSaki, but no names are used, so....
notes: Toshit, someone's actually using this comm??? Yeah, I wrote something fluffy. I'll probably write more fluff before the night if through. Because this song demands teh fluffaybunnays. .___.
A thousand times I'd seen him in my dreams, that hauntingly beautiful wraith. I knew him completely from the first time our eyes met, the one who was my soul's perfect mate. Two halves of a single whole, held apart by time and distance.
Of course it wasn't so easy. You denied it, fought against the recognition and left me with no choice but to feign the same. To cover the love I felt for you, that you were not ready to accept. Because your intellect insisted we'd only just met. Because society proclaimed it wrong for two men to love as we did. Because fear can do strange things even to the strongest and wisest among us.
And so patiently I waited. Watched you from the safety of my kit and waited for my chance.
And perhaps sometimes not so patiently. The lyrics sheet I offered that held the coded secrets of my heart. The tiny gestures of friendship. The offers of soup and company on those wintry nights when your cough got the better of you.
A simple birthday gift was your undoing and I rejoiced at the care you bestowed on such a tiny thing.
We both have one now, a matched set much like our hearts. The smallest of signs, a commitment hiding in plain sight. Two apartments, and yet I spend more time in yours than I do my own. At your side is where I belong. For surely if I am to be called “king,” then only you could be my queen. No other would do.
The sweet young thing, the painfully thin boy has grown to a radiantly beautiful man. His is the face they see, paying no mind to the silent pillar at his side.
I would have it no other way.
