14. Smile
Title: Smile
Time Taken: 25 minutes
Pairing: Ruki/Kai
Music: I Knew I Loved You - Savage Garden
Summary: So I was told I shouldn’t have met you. Mom said I shouldn’t have met you. Said I shouldn’t have met anyone else but the other muses that she has.
Author's Notes: Okay, so this probably makes NO sense to you guys. XD I actually have this one dedicated to someone that I role play with, hence the muses parts that are talked about here. If you get the basics of muses, then this may actually make sense. If it doesn't make sense, well uh... you might have to deal with it.

So I was told I shouldn't have met you. Mom said I shouldn't have met you. Said I shouldn't have met anyone else but the other muses that she has. Reita had a different Ruki. Aoi had his own Uruha. Mom's Uruha and Kai muses disappeared to be used elsewhere. And that left me. Where was I supposed to go? I was told just to stick around. To be a humorous muse that could cheer mom up whenever she needed it.
I wanted to be more than just that. But it was nearly impossible. There was no room for me anywhere. So I sat there at my desk, sulking and writing lyrics. I ignored everything else around me, acting just like a statue there in my chair. Reita and Aoi would come back but completely ignore me. It was okay. I was used to it. I stayed in that chair for so long, I no longer felt my butt. I never turned to look at anyone who passed by. I barely ate or drank- not that it was necessary to survive anyway. I'm just a non-used muse.
Then he came here. That 'other' Ruki. It annoyed me so much. And he just wouldn't leave me alone, no matter what happened or what I told him. I eventually found myself getting up from my chair, trying to escape him and winding up in the kitchen, still being followed.
That's where I first saw you.
You stood there, bewildered as the both of us came in through the same door. A simple offer of cookies from you was made and I blew it off, already pissed enough at this other Ruki. Even after the ordeal, I had hoped I would be able to see you again. I don't know what made me want you to come back, but I do remember one part of you more vividly than anything…
Your smile.
It was heartwarming and sweet, almost like a motherly grin. It made my inside completely melt, but why would I tell anyone about that? That's right, I wouldn't.
As time passed, I got along more with the other Ruki, easily becoming friends with him. I had hoped this would somehow make it easier for me to see you, but it barely did. Disappointed, I continued on, still waiting to see you again.
I remember seeing you walk by me, heading for the room I had seen Rei and his Ruki in, wondering what you were doing. I couldn't help but follow right behind you until we came to the room and came upon something horrid. No wonder you had gone to the room- Rei and Ruki had been in trouble, about to be attacked by Aoi and Uruha. I mustered up my strength, attacking Uruha to prevent anything from happening. I watched as you easily took care of Aoi, preventing him from doing any harm while Uruha took a hiding spot away from me.
I remember requesting to make a cake after I knew Rei needed some time alone with his Ruki. You questioned me, but I tried my best to make it clear. Eventually you picked up on my hints and away we went.
Did you know my feelings towards you yet? Or was I not showing them enough? The next time I came face to face with Uruha was after Rei had attacked Ruki because Ruki pushed him over the edge. I remember getting into a fight with Ruki too, which did help either.
That damn cat-demon tried to get me to play some sick game of his. What kind of an idiot did he take me for? I claimed to have someone who cared for me and loved me, Uruha actually believed me. Then backed off when you came from nowhere. I remember hearing you call out my name, Ru, as we shorten it to in order to prevent a mix-up between the other Ruki and myself. Once again I saw that signature smile of yours, running to you, knowing you would keep Uruha at bay.
I remember telling you what happened between Rei and Ruki, and you almost taking a heart attack because of it. I remember you going to see them, explaining the consequences of Reita's actions and what needed to be done to keep Ruki out of harm's way. It was upsetting to hear it all and I remember crying. But you were there to comfort me. To tell me everything between them would be okay and not to fret over it.
I admit, I'm an emotional person, but you take it like a normal thing. As if it's normal to get emotional over everything that happens.
I want to spend whatever time I have with you. I want to know the information you know- or at least as much of it I can take in. It will certainly help me out. By living with two muses that are both vampires- one of them being a crusnik as well- I need all the information I can get. And you're the perfect person to learn all the information from. Unless I'm needed for something, I'm not leaving your side.
Almost like a young apprentice. One that won't outlive you.
And I promise to stay beside you. As long as I get to see that perfect smile of yours every day.
