A/N: The idea of Yumi studying Kira appeals to me more than it should.
Kira Izuru was like glass; wasn’t made of glass, but was like it all the same.
It wasn’t because he was fragile, Yumichika thought as he cocked his head to the side and studied the much younger blond. Kira’s hands and face were covered with blood, none of it his own, as he hovered over the injured lieutenants, balanced at the center of a barrier Yumichika couldn’t have erected if he tried. His brows were furrowed in concentration, his breathing calm and steady as he worked to save his friends’ lives. It occurred to Yumichika that among all of them sent to guard the four pillars, Kira was the only one still standing.
The blond was obviously anything but fragile, yet, everything about him was delicate.
How annoying, Yumichika thought as he watched him; watched the light from the barrier reflect off Kira’s skin and hair to sharpen the lines of his angular face. He found himself staring at Kira’s hands, long fingers splayed out and steady in the air. They looked smoother than they had any right to be, having held the hilt of a sword for decades, maybe even longer. He idly wondered how they would feel in his because they couldn’t be as lovely as they looked.
Nothing was ever as lovely as it looked. Except Yumichika, of course.
Pain. It traveled up his arm and made him hiss. The lingering effects of the shinten did nothing to help and his amethyst eyes narrowed dangerously at the memory.
Kira was cold to have done what he did and said what he had. Yumichika wondered if that was what made him akin to glass but dismissed the thought immediately. He knew Kira could be gracious and warm--to his friends, his family. Like glass, Kira was cold to the initial touch but would eventually warm up if you held on to him long enough. And a fire could burn in him, bright and fierce, when provoked. Yumichika wondered what it took to bring it forth--the fire that burned inside Kira and razed his entire being to give him his smooth, cool, and seemingly delicate exterior.
Funny. He didn’t know how to do it but he’d been doing it for years.
Something in the air shifted and the barrier started to dissolve beneath Kira. The blond jumped and landed gracefully on the ground without a sound and started helping his friends up. He staggered as he helped Hisagi to his feet, obviously exhausted from all the reiatsu he had used on kidou, but quickly composed himself. One by one the newly healed lieutenants got back on their feet and left without even a word of thanks. Nothing. Not that Kira minded. He let them go without a word and slumped to the ground on his knees, exhausted.
Yumichika huffed.
“You,” he said and Kira turned his face up to look at him. The blond looked tired but he was holding up well. Yumichika looked him up and down then leveled him with a glare. He gestured at his broken arm.
“Fix this,” he ordered and it was Kira’s turn to glare, that fire inside him coming to the fore. Only Yumichika could bring it out with just a few words. He liked to think it was because he was special.
Beautiful, Yumichika thought all of a sudden as Kira stood up and gently took his broken arm in his hand.
Delicate. Cold. All sharp, cutting edges when shattered.
His fingers were warm.
Beautiful.
END.
A/N: This is more or less the very first time I've written Yumi substantially so I apologize if he seems a little...off...to you Yumi-fans. ::PHAIL::
