[TRC] Beginnings and Endings
Title: Beginnings and Endings
Challenge: 9 & 10 (Death & Opportunities)
Characters/Pairings: Fay/Kurogane, others will be involved
Rating: PG-13
Summary: A series of 100 drabbles centers on Fay and Kurogane. Challenge themes ganked from here!
Notes: My goal is to post two drabbles at a time, preferably once a day at the very least. Drabbles will not all be canon. They will not all be AU. It's all a surprise!
Death
An error. The slightest miscalculation - Sakura’s plan hadn’t worked. Now she lay in a pool a blood before Fay. Soon after followed Syaoran. Fay choked back tears. He couldn’t stop himself anymore. Everything had been ruined.
“The hell… what are you doing?! You - you killed the kid and the princess?!” Kurogane barely managed to sputter the words out. His red eyes were wide with shock. Fay said nothing in response. He stepped forward, and even Kurogane couldn’t help but cringe at the sound of the blood squishing under the magician’s shoes. “…It ends here.”
Still, Fay was quiet. Kurogane didn’t hesitate to unsheath Souhi, but by the time he had, it was too late. The blade Fay held had pierced straight through his vital organs. Coughing up blood, the ninja began to fall.
He was caught - pulled in for a deep kiss by Fay. The world began to spin around him for more reasons than one, but the last thing that Kurogane remembered before exhaling his last breath was crazy look in Fay’s eye, and his words.
“I’m sorry, Kurogane-san. It had to be this way… I…”
Opportunities
With their hectic schedule, it was rare that either of them had time to think about the strange little things. For Kurogane, those few times he had were spent trying to understand the magician. He calculated, he thought - he spent every free moment analyzing the blonde man.
For Fay, it was the opposite. It wasn’t about figuring out everyone else - it was about making sure nobody else figured out him.
The first night in the country of Shara was a rare moment for them both. There were no distractions. It was Fay, Kurogane, and an endless supply of liquor.
“What the hell are you trying to hide?” Kurogane’s question was blunt. He’d tried to avoid it in the past - but right now, he didn’t really care.
In response, Fay gave a calm smile. He let the bottle of liquor grace his lips, sipping from it with ease. The smile was the very type that unnerved Kurogane down to his bones. “Why do you care, Kuro-pin?”
“Tch. I don’t.” Dammit. He was stuck. Another night of silence, idle chatter, and a lot of liquor it was. There wouldn’t be any getting to the core of the mage tonight. Another chance missed.
