Together, Yet Utterly Alone. [ Pt. II ]

May 26, 2008 00:04

The morning sun filtered through the windows as Karin’s eyes slowly opened from her slumber. She stayed still for a moment, blinking and focusing her vision with the invasive light, and looked over to find her alarm clock and determine the time, thinking that it couldn’t possibly be after 8 AM because she was biologically programmed to wake up ( Read more... )

Zaku breathed a little slower now, becoming more relaxed and comfortable. He opened his eyes, but they still had a very 'lost' look to them as they were unfocused on anything in particular. "...Yeah. There's so much we both need to say..." Zaku felt his stomach knot up as anxiety started to build inside in anticipation of telling her things he had never told anyone about, but to appear as if he was keeping his cool, he decided to let her go first. "What was up with you yesterday anyways...?" He didn't mean for it to come out rudely, but his choice of words made him think it did ( ... )

Karin scoffed at his last remark, "She makes you feel helpless? Well, I'm glad you got initiated into the club then, too." She didn't want to put him down, but it reminded her of how helpless she had felt... and it reminded her of how she pushed the feeling onto Zaku. More than annoyed, she was trying to hide her own regret, "Well, my mom's like that. The worst part about it is that I'll end up like her one day..." She had given up to that fate all too easily, but she had done what her mother had said she would. And despite the woman's bad character, she knew what she was talking about a lot of the times. "I did something awful, something I can never take back, and I feel terrible that it was done to you. But let me at least say that it was something I am going to try to not regret and I'd like to use it to make me stronger... but, more importantly, I'd at least like for you to know that I'm glad it was with you..." She sighed, not sure which way Zaku would take her words... not sure which way she'd take them herself ( ... )

Zaku managed a weak smile at her protectiveness over him. "Yeah... they better not even try!" he trailed off again, still pondering over what he should say now and how he was feeling. Something was overwhelming him from inside... and it was hard to figure out what it was, but it hurt him. What the shit? I don't want to cry again... stop it. Whatever was making him feel bad, he was sure it wasn't related to what had happened between him and Karin that day. The snow... Zaku started feeling light-headed, but tried to not show any sign of weakness to Karin, though his face was probably expressing some form of pain he didn't want to show. Staying strong, he tried to talk about something else. "I think... we are both... stronger now ( ... )

It didn't take long for Zaku to open his eyes again and he found himself in her arms. He glanced around the room, a little disoriented, but started to feel a little better. "Huh? Oh yeah, I think I'm fine now..." Putting his hand up to his head like he had a headache, he just relaxed in her arms a little longer, not sure about what had just happened. "What happened ( ... )

Karin got up to her feet with his help, using her free hand to keep the shirt pulled down as she stood upright. And after he had released her hand, she pulled on the ends of the shirt, now conscious on how really under dressed she was. She watched Zaku reached over and turn a picture on the wall, remembering it from earlier that it was the hospital picture. It must be a sensitive subject, she thought and wondered if she could ask about it. She decided to save the thought for later, but that didn't prevent the frown that turned her lips downward as a reaction to his sudden need to hide the picture ( ... )
