I don’t write many fanfictions, but I’ve never written anything in English. A week ago I tried to write a Death Note fic and was surprised when I found out that it took me around five minutes to write a single line. I kept trying to write the damn thing but after some time I read what I wrote and it was… bad. Very bad. I thought the problem maybe was the fic itself so I tried to write it in Spanish (my first language). I didn’t need to think much, it was very easy to write and a lot better than the English version. I decided to try something easier and the result was this: a Shounen Onmyouji ficlet. I’m probably going to regret posting this but…
Guren/Masahiro. 333 words. Worksafe. Spoilers for episode 2.
Guren knew about human emotions because, even if not everyone would believe this, he did have emotions too. He knew that if someone was filled with sadness they felt a pressure in the chest, a small headache, and sometimes it was hard to breathe or stop tears from falling. And he knew as well that when someone was exceptionally happy, their whole body felt lighter, their heads were filled with so many thoughts they wanted desperately to say or do something to try to make those feelings somehow tangible. Normally they smiled, even unconsciously.
Masahiro probably didn’t notice he was smiling now. Maybe he has not realized he was feeling so accomplished not because he did a good job defeating the demon, but because he did it in front of the First Princess.
Masahiro developing feelings for someone of the opposite sex was cute and definitely something he could be teased about. So it didn’t make any sense for Guren to be in such a bad mood.
“It’s late and you’re tired, you should rest”
That definitely sounded harder than intended and Guren berated himself for it.
“Yes, you’re right…”
Either Masahiro was too tired or still thinking about the Princess, for he didn’t notice his companion’s hostility. Guren was glad and annoyed at the same time.
Not long after Masahiro was deep asleep, Guren went to lie down at his side. Right now Masahiro was calm but some hours ago his heart was surely beating incredible fast and his cheeks blushing a blazing red. He probably felt very nervous, afraid of doing something stupid in front of Her. And it was almost for sure that in the following days he would be thinking of Her, of how cute She was and how he wanted to see Her again.
A few hours passed and Guren was still awake. There seemed to be a pressure in his chest and he felt a small headache, but there wasn’t any reason for him to be sad.

Since this is an experiment, I would be very happy if someone could point out my mistakes <3
