Title: Loving Is so Short and Forgetting so Long
Fandom: Yami no Matsuei
Notes: For the
fuda_100 drabble exchange. Title is from a Pablo Neruda poem.
--------
Oriya's friendship with Muraki has been defined by loss. The loss of his friend's innocence, his conscience, now maybe even his soul. Through it all, Oriya survived by keeping memories of easier times close to his heart.
Finally, Muraki himself left, leaving Oriya with the key card, a little piece of plastic and dark secrets, and a promise to guard it. Now, even those have vanished--the key card gone with the boy and the promise meaningless--and all Oriya has left are his memories.
Now, he sits in the dark and wonders how long he has until those too disappear.

Also, everyone should go read the
drabble that I received. It's Nagare, and absolutely fantastic, and I am not going to tell you anymore, because you should discover it for yourself.
