Epilogue
Final Taboo: Romance
Death Juncture; 3011
AJ and Kazu were silent as they walked away from the ruins of the small house, the dust and smithereens still flying everywhere, like feathers falling gently. Their shoes made funny noises against the gravel they stepped on with each stride.
AJ had to give himself credit for foresight, knowing that he would have to provide clothing, food, and shelter for Kazu after the entire operation was executed, and so, now, Kazu was clad in apparel brought by AJ.
The taller man did forget a few things here and there, though, so that he decided to lend Kazu his jacket, resulting in him having to walk in a flimsy black v-neck amid the wintry weather, while Kazu looked like a child fitted into the overlarge garment, his mouth and chin barely visible over the high and thick collar.
The authorities would sure hear about this, but AJ had always been adept at hiding away from the world, only showing up when he needed something… when he wanted something.
He did not even have a tag on himself. Honestly, he thought it was a stupid joke the authorities impose upon voiceless civilians.
AJ also knew how Kazu felt about what happened to Joker. Kazu had been with the gunman for more than a millennium. Naturally, he felt bad. Sad. Whatever. AJ was not heartless, too. Joker was not immortal like them, but as long as he had the dragoon, he should be okay. AJ just shrugs mentally at the thought.
Kazu was still quiet beside AJ. He did not look sad, though. It was merely as if he was lost in thought. True enough, Kazu was wondering where they would go from here. The future was more desolate than ever… unless, from here on, Kazu and AJ work together to make a better future for them; for beings like them, and for the two of them particularly.
He humored himself with the fact that, really, he did not know if AJ would agree to such ideas, or if those kinds of things even crossed the other man’s mind.
Indeed, they barely knew each other.
AJ took Kazu’s hand in his, and Kazu smiled up at him. He looked so happy, like a pleased, contented child. And with that, all doubt left AJ’s mind.
Kazuya was happy with Jin.
Now, Jin was a bit worried about what Koki would be pushed to do after what happened. Together, Kazuya and Jin would have to work on finding a way to defeat the weapon that Koki wielded; the weapon that threatened all of their kind.
Jin let go of Kazuya’s hand, drawing the smaller man nearer instead by placing an arm over his shoulders. Kazuya put a hand around Jin’s waist, hoping that he would at least make the other man a bit warmer.
Along with his plans for tonight’s very successful course of action, Jin took into account how Koki would definitely want and try to retrieve Kazuya. Jin would have to spend his time wisely by strategizing his resistance and counter-offensive. Jin calculated that Koki would be able to catch up with them in another millennium or so.
Until that time, Kamenashi-sama was safe with the merchant’s apprentice, Akanishi.
~End~
oOo
Originally, the fic’s supposed to end with the Third Taboo, but I suddenly had this vision of Akanishi and Kame walking away from a blast site hand in hand, and so here. LOL. So, that ends it. Thanks for reading and please do share your thoughts! :D
