Walls
The darkness seemed to wrap itself around him. He stared off into the pitch black, his eyes getting accustomed to the blurry shapes. Somewhere in the distance he heard his phone ring.
"I think....I wanna stay here forever."
He smoothed his fingers across the bedspread, reaching out and he brushed against Ryo's fingers in the barest of touches. Just to reassure himself that he was still here, that Ryo hadn't dozed off or something.
He felt Ryo's fingers catch the inside of his palm, and he liked being here with Ryo, no need for words to fill the burgeoning silence, no need for urgency because here, it seemed as though they had all the time in the world.
"No one's making you leave."
He turned his head sideways to look at Ryo and strangely he could see Ryo with startling clarity despite the darkness.
"I...." He opened his mouth to speak but his words were stopped by Ryo's fingers on his lips.
"Shhhhhh....."
And Kame, who had an answer to every question, an explanation for everything, couldn't speak. Because you gotta accept that some things just were, and that words were superfluous.
He wondered how Ryo, how all this would look like in the morning.
He thinks he will probably regret it come morning. He also knows that come morning, he'll still want to be here.
