Drabble: Break (Lexaeus/Zexion, PG-13)
Ambushed by this this morning. Longer stuff (and the timestamp-fics, which I'm having a ton of fun with) up tonight, I think. (I am suffering badly from having too many ideas, rrrr. Would that I could stay home and write instead of work!)
Break
"You never would do that with me, before."
Kingdom Hearts 2/Chain of Memories, Lexaeus/Zexion. 100 words.
Worksafe. Melancholy.
Afterwards, Zexion says, "You never would do that with me, before. I wanted you to, but you never took the hint."
Lexaeus shrugs slow like an earthquake under his shoulder. "You were so young," he says. "I think I was afraid I would damage you in some way."
Zexion's eyebrows go up, and his gaze goes shrewd beneath his hair. "I'm not younger than you now?"
Lexeaus says nothing for so long that Zexion thinks he won't say anything at all. Then he says, "I don't think I could possibly damage you more than we are all already damaged, now."
